SINGULAR Libel TRIAi.-MoRE OF THE Boz Din
NER.- funny trial came off this week before the
Queens County Court at Hampstead, which has ex-
cited more real merrment than any thing that has
taken place relative to the Boz dinner, except the
dinner itself.
The Long Island Democrat of April 18th, of the
present year, contained short editorial article al
uding TO the Boz dinner given in this city, and con-
rastlng the conduct of those attending it with that
of the people of the principal cities of Virginia
through which Dickens passed on his way south
In concluding, he introduced the name of David F.
Jones, First Judge of Queens county, as one of the
persons in attendance, and spoke of him as "poor
old, pulled up, powdered, painted creature
| The Judge very properly considered such picture
OF his personal appearance and character as libel,
and accordingly commenced legal proceedings

was given the author Of the libel, and so proved
| by the publisher of the Democrat.

tempt was made to settle the affair, and Robert W.
Mott and John A. King were select d as referees 1t
| WAS then ascertaned that Judge David +. Jones' of
Queen, not at the dinner, but that il was Judge
| Samuel Jones OF this city. Judge Onderdonk re-
fused to make acceptable apology, and the trial
took place. The article also charged Judge Jones
with residing IN New York while acting as Judge of
Queens

ZONES was pulled up man, and that his conduct
was mat oil naughty, overbearing citizen, in
s,eau OF one OF plain republican habits and manners
