and not by their sympa HES. Such a class
OF ELECTS is we'll described in the famous trial

After this all such eff-ottve shrieks as those
uttered in the Court of Quarter Sessions are
modelled, aud il the plan hai not already bo
come ridiouIously stale, We suppose that
every petty larceny Utse would in liks mau-
Ter have its tain'ug and hy steriosl women. We
would not doubt for IN Dmeut the sincerity Of
the affection Of sfll cted female relatives. 1t
may be thought II weakness that the wife of a
man like Eaton, murderer, q brawler, q man
who vas in the habit Of frequenting taverns
at o'clock in the morning, should waste such
lavish affection on such a husbsni. But We
do not pretend to (athom the ny ste ries of the
human heart, aud it may be that Mrs. Eaton
with all sincerity screamed in aiis that her
husband was innocent, aud did so from con-
viction. But the fault does not 80 much rest
with her. 1t is with the cOuusel in the case
It was their business to know that a court of
Justice was no place for woman under such
circumstances. 1t was their duty to have
kept such display out OF the courtroom,
aud ry cOusentiDg to, if not directing, such a
performance, they strangely forgot their duty
to that grave tribunal 1t is quite tune
that all such rubbish as these dramatic scenes
should be- done away with. Thsre are certain
lawyers who do not hesitate to encourage it
as a means of success 1t is b-nea;h the
dignity of the Bar: it ssvors of and
pertains only to the pettifogger. We
hope that in the future, if the
counsel have not sufficient ideas of proprety
to prevent such scene, the court will not
allow the presence of any one who is likely to
be an actor in it. The duty of the court is
TO administer justice without fear or favor,
and to attempt to inlnencs verdict or
judgment by any such exhibition is but
wrong en- the public and an insult to the tri-
bunal before which the criminal is arraigued,
