SIR
The end Of the world is not nigh yet (Parson
Miller to the contrary twith-tandng) We can
not yet realise the happy time when ''the lion and
the lamb shall lie down t,gether' Horses will stop
kcking-cats scratching, and lawyers quarrelliag,
before that blssful day arrives 1t is certain thar
the happy epoch has been postponed at least half
century, by the rich and glorious scene which took
place last evening at the office of Alderman Girls
com, in this city. The occasion was proceeding
against John w. Shines, whe is accused of tamper-
ing with Juror, on the McEwen and Shee case,
and the actors David Paul Brown, Esq and
William Rawle, Esq as principal come d,ans. win LIST
zens and loaiers, who crowded the Office After
William l.. Hirst, Esq. of counsel for McEwrn,
had finished his address to the Alderman, hr wa'
next addressed by William White, Esq Ut counse
for MIR. Shines. Mr.. White commenced by slludina
to the the defence of McEwen and Shre
Gone of the counsel on which side was Mr. X awle)
and spoke of ''the disepuable tricks that had been
resorted TO to bring about acqulta OF the defen-
dants."
Mr.. RAwLE-That's personal Ito the Alderman
insist sir that no personalities be allowed.
Alderman Observation-Disclosures between coun-
sci must ne avoided.
Mr.. WHITE-(to the Alderman)-To you, sir,
personalities shall be addressed, but to and of
Mr.. Rawle I'll speak as please
Mr.. RAwLE-(Throwing himself back in the
chair and frettiug like bottle of ginger pop with
the cork tied down)-This is what get for coming
into the CRIMINAL Court, to be insulted by puppy,
nothing but the most foul mouthed and beastly per
sonalties.
Mr. BRowN--(To the Aldeman) There, sir,
what do you say to that-Let personalities be re-
strained
Mr.. RAwLE-Well, by Cd, sir, if have been
personal, its you that have forced it out of me by
your continued falsehoods during the whole course
of this case.
Mr. BRowN Gas cool as pound of butter sur
rounded with ice)-The man that imputes falsehood
TO me lies.
Mr. RAwLE-I have called you liar, and nowyou
shall take the blow with il. (seizing piece of pa.
per, crushing il into roll and reaching to strike
Mr. Brown, but in consequence Of rotundity in
the belt and want of extensibility in his legs not
being able to reach him, but waving the roll in the
and a half from the end OF his nose)-"There, sir,
you have taken a lie and a blow, and you may add
that to your other accomplishments
Mr.. Brown, (who during the whole course of
this ludicrous scene remained as calm as a summer 8
morning, and looked as amlable as dish of ice
cream with spoon in D-Bnt have not been
struck no blow touched me.
Mr. RAwLE-Well, if / did not strike you in
tended t-Consider, sir, that called you liar and
struck you.
Mr. BRowN--Consider I've been struck | may as
well consider that you have been shot
ALDERMAN (waking up)-Gentlemen, this con-
duct must not be allowed-l must bind you over TO
keep the peace.
RAwLE-Yes, bind me over, bind me over for the
assault and battery.
BRowN-No assault has been committed
Raw | afrike | lnfp ded = nd
m" over for the assault and battery.
BRowN, Ito the Alderman)-I should be sorry,
sir, il bound him over for an intention.
RAwLE-(Who appeared TO be as anxious TO be
bound over for the assault as Dogbeuy was TO be-
written down an ass)-But intended il, and the
wind blew IN his face from the attempt-bind me
over for the assault and battery.
ALDERMAN-You must be bound over to keep the
peace.
RAwLE-Sir, I'll have nothing more TO do with
this case, to be continually nsuted by two puppies
hr.wing down his books and walking out Of the
office like an offended turkey cock) Thus ended
the first act, and Ihe curtain fell, to the disappon
:nent OF full and delighted auditory, who wished
10 see the fun continued.
During the whole cou sc of this remarkable dis
play Mr.. Rawe was petulant, angry, and ready TO
"eat his own head"-w whilst Mr. Brown was calm,
cool, placid and smiling, without the least appear
ance or symptom of blood thirsty state Of mind.
Act the second took place the same evening 1T
was private representation, to which the public
were not invited. 1t is understood that new actors
appeared on the scene, TO wit-Josiah Randall, f. O.
and Eli J Price, Esq, who obligingly offered their
mediation" which was accepted by the contend
ing parties by means of which reconciliation was
effected, and the warriors mutually retired upon
their laurels.
The whole affair was got up in first rate style.
with good scenery and appointments, and the act or
played their parts with truthfulness and enc y
worthy of a better cause.
