past week. A man by the name Of
Smith was on trial Tor murder. Ten
Jurors had been empanclled, and then
some technical objection was started by

asked il the counsel were going to quo

Judge required direct answer, which
they refused 10 give. lie thereupon or

a direct answer, he ordered the sheriff
10 conduct them all TO jail, and they
