A Law Case out West.

A case was tried at Grand Rapids,
Michigan, a few years ago. A man who
had previously borne a suspicious char
acter, was indicted for stealing large
quantity of pork.
He employed a lawyer of considerable
local reputation to defend him, and al
though the affair had an ugly look he
was strongly in hopes of getting off clear,
but when the testimony on behalf of the
prosecution was concluded, his counsel
was about to give up the case in despair.
But the prisoner was as cool as Gu
cumber, and confident of acquittal. He
insisted upon the defence being proceed

overwhelming array of testimony -

and Pm sure to get off,"
"Impossible-there's nothing that can
be said.''
Il hired you, and intend to pay
you, but not cent shall YOU have unless
you give the jury talking to-"
Under this inspiration, the lawyer
made a rambling. incoherent address to
the jury, in which everything was dis
cussed except the case under considera-
ton. On concluding, he whispered in
the prisoners ear You internal scoun-
drel, l ought to be sent to the State pris-

After the charge from the Judge, in
which his criminality was distinctly as
serted and maintained, that intelligent
part of the palladium of our rights re-
tired for consultation, and in short time
came back with verdict Of not guilty.
"What in thunder does this mean ?"
inquired the lawyer of his client.
