ed, and said that he could not allow the high
sheriff 10 proceed. The high sheriff seemed
determined to 90 on, when the learned judge
laid his hand ON his shoulder, and said he
could not permit him to speak. The high sheriff
still persisted, and the justice threatened that
if he did not desist he would fine him. This
had no effect, the sheriff would not set down,
and the justice said "Mr. High Sheriff, ] feel
myself called upon to fine you $500" This
had no effect upon the high sheriff, and the
justice then threatened TO commit him for
contempt of court, and interfering with the
administration of justice. The high sheriff
thereup0n resumed his seat and the event
caused great sensation among the magistrates,
who were very numerous in the town, and the
bar 1t was reported that a correspondence
had passed, in which Mr.. Justice Blackburn
offered 10 remit the fine, and that Mr.. Evelyn,
in answer, only sent the Judge check for the
money. Afterwards Mr.. Scarlet and other
gentlemen were seen TO be in conversation
with the chief Justice in the other court, and
the result of this was at last seen by the high
sheriff coming into the court and reading
written apology, in which he expressed his
sorrow for having committed any act which
might bear the semblance of contempt of court
Mr. Justice Blackburn stated that he had no
personal feeling, but must protect the dignity
of the court, and could not allow any improper
Interruptions to the business of the assize.
He then RENTED the fine, and the affair ter
minated.

CONTEMPT OF CouRr,--A queer scene was
lately enacted in an English court. About the
middle of the day the grand jury, having con.

the remainder OF the bills, and Mr.. Justice
Blackburn dismissed them, thanking them in

requested the learned judge to pay the same

more than thirty-thrce per cent during the fort

This argues that there must have been system of

the head Of the business under his charge an " old

upward in the midst of everything going in that
