DIFFICULTY IN THE CRIMINAL COURT
~ scene occurred ia the Crmrinsl Court We .ter
day morning. highly dissracefnl 10 one Of The purti. f.
As We heard The facts, they ORE about these: NJ.
BenL the prosecuting attorney for IN Is county WIN
fer some lime past has been INDUCING too fr.eIy ia
Tho use OF intoxicating liquors. appeared IL IKtn
prosecution Of The negro man Blown, chargeI wi h.
murder. in a Stale wholly unqualified for the pro
per discharge OfhIs duties. During his speech 10
the Jury the concluding argument in tho cIuss,
The Judge called him TO order, and finally or dsred
him To sit down This Mr. Bent refu.ed 10 d., aud
the Judge ordered the Marshal 10 remove him Ir.m
the bar. To this Sir Bent refused iu submit.
We do not know all The dOtails Of this nauicu-
Tar instance hut We are we'll satisfied from our
own observation. rs well as from information de-
rived from The bar and the officers Of the courr. tina.
Mr. Bent has pursued a cOurse 81 continued dis.ipo.

That hey have Tot before been made the subi ,c, az

have richly meriIed his nOiOfieiy.
III ZINES past We supported Mr. Bent for the Of
