Little & Brown, of Boston, to whose enterprise
the reading public has 30 often been indebted for
the most valuable American and foreign books,
propose to publish by subscription, new series of
the English Reports in Law and Equity. This
res will contain all the authoritative decisions OF
the House of Lords the Courts Of Equity the Privy
Court, the Queens Bench, the Exchequer Common
Pleas, &c.
The profession are assured that this series will be
the most complete of any reports now published.
A careful examination of the Jrist and Lam Jour
nal for series of years dscloses the fact that many
important cases are hero reported which are not
found in the contemporaneous reports of Meeson &
Welsby, Manning, Granger Scott, Adolphus &
Ellis, and other reporters; and the Lam Journal
alone during the fret years OF it's existence,
published thousand cases not then elsc-
where reported.
As TO the character Of the reports of the claw
Journal and "The Jurist,'' but little need be
said. In England they are regarded Of high
authority, and arc cited with appreciation and re-
epect in the English courts and by their most
\ inent elementary writer's.
! They are cited with confidence, and as autho-
! rity in the judicial opinions Of Judge Story and
/ other eminent American judges, and in the writ
/ ings Of Greeneaf, Kent, Angel, Phillips, Chilly
and others; and, for accuracy, clearness and bre-
witty, are equal TO any English reports now pub
lished.

GUILTY, BUT DRUNK

Dan aimble's Story of The Georgia J"'ig'.
Not few of our readers. West and SO lth
who had the pleasure of an intimate acqnain
tauce with Dan Marble, will recognize the lr
resis.abp story he used to tell' of the stolen
spoons and the Georgia Judge. Col. B.adhury.
we believe, once dressed up the joke and set it
4 going. a7d partially in that guSe We give ii
a place in the annals of the commedian:
"Many years ago, while the State OF Geor.
gia was yet in its infancy, an eccentric creature
named Brown, was one of the Ci'cuit Judges.
He was man of considerable ability, OF in-
flexible integrity. and much beloved and re-.
spected by all the legal profession, but he had
one fault. His social qualities would lead him,
DESPITE his Judgment, into frequent excesses.
In travelling the Circuit it was his almost inva-
riable habit the night before opening the Court
to get comfortably corned,' by means of ap
pliances common upon such occasions. Ii he
couldn't succeed while operating upon his own
hook, the gentlemen of the law would general
ly turn and hel p him.
&c 1t was in the spring Of the year, taking his
wife = a model of a woman in her way-n the
old.fashioned, but strong carry.all,' he jour
neyed some forty miles, and reached the village
where the court was to be opened next day.
II was along in the evening Of Sunday that he
arrived at the place, and took up his quarters
with relation of his betterhalf,' by whom
the presence of the official dignitary was con
sidered singular honor. After supper Judge
Brown strolled over to the only tavern III the
town, where he found many old friends, called
to the place, like himself, on important profes.
sional business, and who were proper glad to
meet him.
"Gentlemen, said the Judge. It's quite a
long time sluce we enjoyed glass together
let rs take horn all around. Of course, Ster-
rit addressing the landlord,) you have better
LIQUOR than you had the last time we were here
the stuff you had then was not fit to give
dog
"Sterrtt, who had charge Of the house, pre-.
tended that everything was right, and so they
went to work. 1t is unnecessary to enlarge
upon drinking bout in country tavern - 1t
will quite answer our purpose to state that
somewhere in the region of midnight the Judge
wended his very devious way towards his tenn
porary home. About the time he was leaving,
however, some young barristers, fond of a prac-
tical Joke, and not much afraid of the bench,
transferredal the silver spoons of St.rritt to
the Judges pocket.
at was eight o'clock on Monday morning
that the Judge rose. Having indulsed in the
process Of ablut;on and abstersion, and ,,art..
