An ANKcporR OF JEFrnEY AND COCK
HuRs.-In case In which Jeffrey and
Cockburn were engaged as barristers'
a question arose rs to the sanity Of one
of the parties concerned. "1s the de-
fendant, in your opinion, perfectly
sane?" said Jeffrey, interrogating one
of the witnesses, plain, stupid-looK-
Ing countryman. The witness gazed
In bewilderment at the questioner, but
gave no answer. It was clear he did
not understand the question. jeffrey
repeated It, uttering the words, "Do
Won think the defendant capable Of
managing his own affairs? ?" Still In
vain the witness only stared the hard
er. .sI ask you again." said jeffrey,
still with his clear English enumciation,
Wdo YOU consider the man perfectly
nationals" No answer yet, the wit
ness only staring vacantly at the figure
of his interrogation and exclaiming,
"Eh ?" "LeI me take him." said
CocIburn. Then assuming the broad

tuss witness: "Ha0 ye your null WI

SESsIBLE ENGLISH CUsToMs.-Among
the many absurd there are some sensi-
bic customs in England that might be
proftably introduced into our Ameri-
can life. An English servant never
slams door, but puts 1t to with the
hand upon 1t; never throws the window
up or down, but raises or lets 1t fall
deliberately; never addresses you
without a bow or eurtsey, and never,
or very rarely, becomes rude, no mat
ter how great the provocation. Again,
no Englishman ever eats or drinks In a
hurry. The tossing of the glass of
spirits or pint Of ale Is an American
innovation, as much as the bolting half
masticated food. The plowman In his
holden frock and iron shod brogans,
REQUIRES his time to sip his ale; the
wrctches who fiaunt their charms in
the gas-light glare Of the Gin palace,
and drown their sorrows In Its poisons
iinper over the glass; and the cabman
no matter how great your hurry, who's.
good will you bribe by q pot OF "half

Hamilton was despatched TO queil the disturbance.
On arriving there he found Vernan in his own rOonl.
Mrs. Boyle demanded his arrest. but Hamilton
refused TO take him into custody on the ground that
he had seen no breach OF the peace committed.
Hamilton left, when Vernan made two more raids
upon the place. and was each time driven out by the
