Every one has heard and will remember
how Tom Marshall was once engaged in a
lawsuit before a magistrate, aud a point of
evidence being decided against him he be-
came slightly irritated, but with the bland.
est expression he could assume under the
circumstances he said to the magistrate;
Il wish your Worship would hEe nae 81
for contempt of Court"
'The Court is not aware Of any contempt,
Mr.. !Marshalh for which you should be
ined.b
"WeIl, I, feel a most profound contempt
for this Court" responded Marshall, with
that peculiar twitching OF facial nerves for
which be, is so remarkable. There vas q
roar Of laughter from tbs crowd. Aud nov

The other day a Young lawyer of this
county was employed 10 prosecute o man
indicted for larceny before a committing
court composed of three magistrates, On
hearing the testimony they refused to com
nit the prieener to jail. Our lawy er, whose

dote Of Marshall, and concluded TO take re
