she had swallowed a mouse. On entering the room

to sea you--I am in such distress-such pain
Oh, Doctor Doctor I've swallowed mouse ~
'Swallowed nonsense" replied the Doctor, in his
mild and pleasant manner "Oh, no! Doctor p

will ever occur again. The defendant is known to
be worth from 10 to $4,000; some time back a
judgement obtained against his father for about
$50, which the old man, from want of attention. or
perverseness neglected TO pay; and for this a real
estate of his III Leonard street. worth several thou
sand dollars, was sold by the sheriff and purchased
by the defendant who paid for it only the amount of
the judgment and costs, being something under
5000.
The property sold, of course subject to the
enquiry of redemption, but as the old mans son was
the purchaser, the father took trouble to redeem
1t within the period specified by law; and it became
legally vested in the Defendant. As soon as this
was the case, the son most unfeelngly turned his
aged father and mother out of part of the premi-
ses which they occupied, and refused TO contribute
any thing whatever their support; in consequence
of which the old man was obliged to apply to the
Aims House for the means of subsistence So un-
natural did the Defennant's conduct appear, even
TO his own attorney, that when the latter had prose-
cuted the business so far as to obtain for him le-
gal title to the property, and then found that the
defendant not satisfied with this was determined to
turn out his aged parents destitute on the world,
he was ashamed to put his name to the ''Writ of
possession and refused to have any thing TO
do with the matter. The defendant however pro-
cured another attorney who was not quite consci-
entious. An order was made to require the Defend
ant to pay specified sum forthe support ofhis father
