Judge Dooly, of Georgia, was re-
markable for his wit, as well as for
his other talents. At one place
where lie attended Court, he was
not well pleased with his entertain
ment at the tavern. On the first dav
OF the Court, hog under the name
of pig, had been cooked whole and
laid on the table. Noperson attack
ed it. 1t twas brought next day, and
the next, and treated with the same
respect: and it was on the table on
the day which the Court adjourned.
As the party finished their dinner,
Judge Dooly rose from the table,
and in a solemn manner addressed
the Clerk:
"Mr. Clerk" said he, "dismiss
that hog upon his recognizance until
the first day of the next Court. He
has attended SO faithfully during the
present term that | don't think it
will be necessary to take any secu-
rity."
