II. CLAY.

! JUSTICE IN HoLLAND.-An English
gentleman travelling in Holland gives
/ II curious account of the administration
Of justice in that country under certain
circumstances. The facts, us related,
may appear incredible TO our readers,
especially TO those who have visited
Holland, but the story is nevertheless an
amusing one:
ale was gong TO Amsterdam in a
a trekschuit, the skipper of which being
a rery great rogue, cXtorted from him
for his passage much more than he had
a right to claim. The traveller expos
tulated with the fellow in vain-he grew
rude. The travaler persistcd-the iel-
low grew more abusive. At length he
told the skipper, that he would, immc-
diately on landing. go to the proper tri-
bunal, and get redress from the Judge.
The skipper snapped his tarry fingers
IN his face. The Englshman paid the
demand, and. on landing, went to the le-
gal officer TO know when the court OF
Justice would sit. He was answered, at
nine next morning. Having no doubt
of ample redress, he did not choose to
put the skipper on his guard by men
tioning his intention. Next morning he
went to court, and began TO tell his s,o-
ry to the Judge, who sat with his broad
brimmed hat on in great state. The
Englishman ianced that he had seen
the man before. Nor was he long in
doubt. For before he had half-fnished,
the Judge, in roar, but which he imme-
diateIy recognized for il was the denti-
cal skipper, who sat on the bench, deci-
ded against him with full costs, and or
dcred him out of court The English
man, however, said that he would dp-
peal. and away he wen, to an advocate
Tor the purpose. He did appeal accord
ingly, and the next day the appeal came
regularly on. But all his stoicsm for
sook him when he perceived that the
very same skipper and Judge was TO de-
eide the appeal, who had decided the
cause; so that the learned skipper first
cheated, and then sent him about hIe
business with two sets OF costs to con-
sole him."
