A SCOOP, EASY" JUSTICE SHALLOW
The magistrate who married . couple IN the
morning and divorced them in the afternoon
has scarcely as serene a faith in the omnlpo,,
tence of his judicial fiat as brother Shallow
in Cincinnati, who, according to newspaper
of that city, was reused at the dead Of night
recently by a couple no wanted to be married
Immediately, Not liking to take the trouble
to dress. he sent down, word that it was all
right; they might consider themselves man
and wife. and come round in the morning to
have the legal part performed,
1t is to be hoped that the couple did not
forget to call upon the phiIomorphean justice
in the morning N 7, Erensng Post.
