A fellow had been arIaisned before

spoons The stolen articles we're found
upon the culprit, and there was no use
in attempting to deny the charge. Law

oner as counsel, and seeing II" escape
for his eli nt,except on the plea Of insan

put on as silly look as possible, and
when any question was put TO him, to
utter in drawing manner, with ld'ot'c
expression, the word spoons" II sue

was read, and the question put to The

'Ihe fellow is fool!' said the Judge

The prisoner left the room, and the
lawyer followed close in his wake, and
when they had got into the hail, the
counsellor lapt his client oil the shoulder
saying
Now, my good fellow, that twenty

PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
i OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the dircc-
ton of Francis j. Troubat, esq, of Philadelphia;
Hon. Ellis Lewis, of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
Candless, esq, of Pittsburgh.
This work contains the best productions of Eng
lish law authors, without regard to priority of claim
on the part of any American publisher Such books
are now VIGOROUSLY too dear. The reason is, that
as fast as they appear, they become monopolics in
the hands Of booksellers in the Atlantic cities. I'M
der the plea of right, acquired by the addition Of
notes Of American decisions, the latter claim an un
divided title to those works, and set burdensome
price on them. The publishers of the work now
offered to the profession throughout the Union, will
not respect such titles, but will reprint the standard
British law books fast they emanatc from the
London market Should new editions of the works
of such writers as Starkie, the Chttys, Stephen,
and Archbold, appear, they shall also be included
and digesls of equity and law decisions-works
which have been studiously kept out of the Law
Library published at elphia--sha have a
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise chancery or COM
mon law.
as This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bcrs of 16O pages printed on fine white paper, aud
good new long primer type, at seven dollars per an
mum, payable half yearly.

Many forfeures are about to accrue, from failure
to pay taxes many claims, otherwise good, will be
barred by adverse possession Of three ycars-that
being the limitation; many titles Of lands conveyed
in the United States cannot be admitted to record in
Texas, for want of proper authorization. Owing
some one or other of these causes, the best lands
are in condition to be lost.
