Before Con,nissioner Rdpele.
TELLING A LIE oBLIGE LADY.-Hugh Quin
was brought into custody to be examined on a
charge of having broken tho seal of a letter, d.
rected to a Mr.. James Murray, which had passed
through the post office. The commitment of such
offence being Imprisonment for one year and
q fine of $500.
The letter carrier proved the delivery of il 10
young lady who was then in Court, the wife Of
the said Mr. Murray, and the latter testified that
he had been given the letter by the prisoner,
with the seal of it broken. and that on his nqui-
ring of him who opened the letter, the prisoner
confessed to him that he had done it. SO far the
case was quito clear against the prisoner, and in
ais defence, Mrs. Murray, the wife of the COM
plainant was examined, and from her evidence It
appeared that on receiving the letter her euriosi-
ty tempted her to open it, and finding it conta'-
ned nothing that interested her, she became anx-
ious TO have it delivered to her husband. But as
il happened that Just at that time, there existed
between herself and her husband one Of those
little interludes of love, commonly called cool
mess, which now and then takes place Gin the
best Of families" the lady was unwilling TO let
her husband know that she opened the letter and
requested MIR. Quin to say that he did il, and Mr..
QuiD, thinking himself bound, in common polite
uess tell lie for the lady, and little dreaming
Of the trouble ii was to cost him, at once COM
piled with her request, and shortly after found
himself prisoner in the u. States Court, under
going an examination for a high crime and INSIDE
meanor. AS the lady's evidence exonerated Quin
from any crime except that of telling lie, he
was discharged, and when leaving the court, fer
vently avowed that he would never tell lie for
lady as long as he lived-[ y. Y. Jour. Of Com.
