QTALuS OF SPlRlTUALlsT.-Ihe following
scene occurred at the recent session Of the Su-
prrme judicial Court in Augusta, Maine:
"A witness was summoned t" testify i'll an
arson case. brought from Ilalloweil, who re-
fused either by oath or affirmation to render
his testimony assigning as Il reason that he
was Il spirtualiS,, and could only act from
i,apr,SSionnl pronlptings. Judge Rice IN
formed him that his excuse WAS entirely in
admissible, inasmuch as that if one and an
other was excused upon such grounds an
archv and confusion would ensue, and the
rights and property of men would be at the
mercy of any one who might set up such
an absurd plea for not giving his evidence.
He persisted, however that rs there veIe ~
ing AS we'll as truthful spirits, he was lear
f.! they might make him violate his oath.
Tne Judge told him that the court also was
moved by certain impressions, which he
might find much more inconvenlent To cyade
than that Of the lying spirits. Whereupon
he ordered the sheriff 10 take the witness 20
prison during the pleasure OF the court.-
1t took, however only about twenty minutes
solitary reflection between four granite walls
whose egress was barred by massive iron
door. To enable him to obtain some sort of
plenary indulgence exempting him from his
spiritual impressions and allowing him 70
to give his testimony in the case"
