Every one knows Mr.. B., the successfu
criminal lawyer, Of Philadelphia, says the
Mercury, and the peculiar tact with which
he usually succeeds in eliciting the truth
from witness. He once in while how
ever, meets with queer customer, with
whom be can do nothing whatever.
Such an one turned up before . magis-
trate few days sine. A Mr.. Doyle was
complained Of for keeping disorderly
house in s. street, The complain
ant engaged Mr.. b. to attend to his case,
and put .Ir. Doyle through course Of

"You still misunderstood me; I wish to
know the reputation Of the house. Is it
good or bad?'
Bad intirely."
Mr.. b called the attention OF the cour,
10 this answer, and desired the magistrate
to take note. The magistrate did so.
"Wha. do yeu mean when you say the
reputation Of the house is bad ~
That it has The OWLS own chimney,
aud roof that leaks like svee."
You still misunderstood me, Mr.. O'Neil

there in the house?'
