JUDICIAL DIGNITY IN Misunderstanding Of
Grand Juries, reminds me that the Parish Court is
now in sesson here, his Honor Ksh Rodgers presid-
irg-old Kye or " KY" they usually call him. Old
Ky was passing sentence on crimioal, and delivered
himself as follows:
"Prisoner, stand up Mr. Kettles this Court is
under the painful necessity of passing sentence OF the
law upon you, Sir This Court has no doubt, Mr..
Kettles but what you were brought into this scrape
BY the use of Intoxicating liquor. The friends of this
Court all knors that eff thar is any vice this Court abb
hors it 10 intemperance. When this Court was
young man, Mr.. Kettles, 1t was considerably inclined
to drink and the friends of this Court kno~s that this
Court had not stopped short off, and stopped the use
of intoxicating liquor have no doubt Sir, but what
this Court Sir would have been IN the Penltentary

Another case was before the Court. An oyerseer
who had been discharged, brought suit against his
employer for the whole years wages alleging that be
had been discharged without sufficient grounds. Old
Ky" charged the Jury as follows
1.-The Jury will take notice that this Court is well
acouair ted with the nature of the case. When the
Court first etarted out in the world it followed the
business of overseeing and ef there any business
which the COult understands its HOSES, mules and

SINGULAR DIVORCE CAsE.-A novel divorce Gaze
has this week been tried before the Supreme Court
sitting at Salem Mass, of which The Observer gives
the following account: MI.
William Little, libelapt, vs. Sarah M. Lttle Inls
Rage between the parties. The allegations OF the
libel were that the parties were married in October,
IS3 and have resided together but very short time
three months after the marriage and removed to
the hospital She returned to her husband in the Fall
OF 1854, and remained but few days; and since DC
tob.r, 1854, she has not lived with him. IL was also
alleged that she had been in the hospital previous TO
the marriage and that 10 fact, she insane at the
time of the ceremony. This ale cation was denied by
The respondent, and was the great question in the
c4se. The Gaze was tried before the Jury, and was
probably the first of the kind tried by jury
IN the Commonwealth. 1t WAS closely contested, and
tied considerable interest The verdict was for the
ibelant, viz: that the hbelee insane when the
C Iemony Of marriage was performed"
