A Legal Aneodote,

THE Round Table Of last week has
something over a column Of pleasant Cos
sip about Washington Irving, in the
course. of which occurs the following an
eedote related to Mr. Irving by the late
Eez-Presidont Van Buren, Of the celebra-
I ted legal orator, Elisha Williams, Of Col
umbia county
He was most graceful speaker, and
his voice particularly in It's pathetic tones
was melody itself All who remember
Ogden Hofman's voice (that was called
f the flute by his fellow members of the
bar of New York. can appreciate the
mellifuous organ of Mr.. Williams His
power over a jury was astonishing. He
swayed them as with the wand of an en-
chanter; and it was seldom that he fail
ed to secure a verdict for his client. But
on one occasion he did, in such perfect
" ridiculous manner, that crowded
court and grave Judges on the bench
we're convulsed with laughter at the bur
lesque of the result. He was complete
ly discomftted by an ignorant, impudent,
unlettered pettifogger,= who knew not a
particle of law, but some how or other
had obtained the credit of shrewdness,
and the reputation among his farmer
neighbors of being hard to beat
The case, if we remember rightly, was
an act Of murder Mr.. Williams, of
course, on the ground of his power over
the jury was on the defense. His prero-
roration was exceedingly touching and
beautiful:
'Gendemeu Of the jury, said he, IF
you can find this unhappy prisoner at the
bar guilty of the crime with which he is
charged, after the adverse and irrefraga-
bic arguments which l have laid before
you, pronounce your fatal verdict. Send
him to lie in chains upon his dungeon
floor, waiting the death which he is to
receive at your hands; then go to the
bosoms of your families-go lay your
heads on-yOur PilIows-aed sleep j you
caaP
The effect Of these closing words of the
great legal orator was at first thrilling;
but by and by the pettifogger, who had
volunteered to follow the prosecuting at
torney, arose and said:
Gentlemen of the Jury; I should de-
spair, after the weeping speech which
has been made to you by Mr.. Williams,
of saying anything to do away with its
eloquence. l never heerd Mr.. Williams
speak that piece Of his'n better than whot
he spoke it jist now. Onct heerd him
speak it in case of stealing, down to
Schaghticoke; then he spoke it ag'in in
a case of rape, up to Hsopus; and the
last time l heerd it, before jist now, was
when them niggars was tried-and conf
victed, too, they was-for robbing Van
Pelt's hen house, over beyond Kingston.
But I never heerd him speak it so ele-
giant and efectin' as whot he spoke it
jest nowp
This was a poser! The jury looked at
one another, whispered together, and our
pettifogger saw at once that he hal got
them. He stopped at Once-olOsing with
the remark:
IF you can't see, gentlemen of the
jury, that this one speech don't answer
