away from their business for as little purpose
had been, and under heavy penalty, without pay,
compelled TO wait here upon "our Justices until
Justice may be legally dispensed Was there ever
grester farce Did Burton on the opposite sie of

buresqued or her own ground And what, think
you, was the important testimony that we were called
away from our basiness to givel woman employed
in store had loaned her employer some of her hus-
bsuds money and had sfterwsrd been discharged for
drunkenness and a suspicion of dishonering her hus-
band in his ABSENCE and for spite had sued for the
money in her own behalf and We were wanted to
prove fact never disputed, that she was married
woman, so that, being SUCH she was nobody in law
ianoher farce, and could not maintain a suit Hpon
plain oLlga ion given to her in her name. 1t
WIS a farce that did not want to SEQ concluded.
When retired from the presence OF oar justices"
there was al attempt making to impannel jury to
try the fret Of the hy-nne cases. preceding that in
which our presence was earnestly required. We
hope they will have a good tine with that and the
other thirty eight and when No. 40 is called again,
that the plaintiff will get her money without calling
upon to prove that by legal farce she is not en-
titled TO it.
