Enough. Mr.. Editor, appears from the
statement Of Tho Court itself to show
that we have a scourt "which I am
free 60 maintain. \
What an snnfartnnate expression of
this Justice Of tho Peace is TINT of
turning things to account! Has this
Court precedent book by which he
turns things to account, or does he do it
by his own ingenuity and saooir piyre ?
"If, "says this Justice Shallow" had
adopted the course of many, the State
would have owed mo thousands, o
immaculate Dogbery! many get thous-
nnds ! but thou hast but ga little"l
How sad How much greater is thy
little than the thousands of "the many".
But how plainly this Court saw hov
to turn things to account, and how
nobly it resisted the tcmpter ?. 1t says,
chad not the power in this case OF
turning it to some account? Had he
in this case? | don't AIr. Editor see
that he had any such power! If he
thinks he has such power, will he, can
he always thus resist? If he has such
power or thinks lie has how We must
all dread him How would he use tho
power? Perhaps by "robbing Peter to
pay Paul" (PohD. Perhaps by playing
"PaM Py"i No Mr.. Editor, this
question asked with such apparent
coclness and impudence, "Had 1 not the
power" is enough of itself to condemn
this Court. Perhaps he may somc day
discover his mistake. He has no such
power.
AS to the "many" who make "thous
ands, 1-suppose the other Trial Justices
in this County are meant They lie
thinks have the "power" like himself,
and they unlike himself he says have
made "thousands." Let til Ill speak for
themselves!
Now, Sir, has not this Court made a
rich attempt to reply to the just crti-
cism, in which it is my right as citi-
zen, TO indulge? Has he not shown
himself up genuine Justice Shallow !?
Dogberry, another type of his kini,
furnished by the bard of Avon, sighed
that the sexton was not there to write
him down an Sass" but this immaculate
Justice has written himself down, and
published himself in his County's
Journal, over his own signature in
terms unmstakably plain and irrevoca.
ble-a most egregious ass
His reply is stupid failure. Instead
of denying my statements he verifies
them by giving the public the ridicul-
Gus details of his practice, those very
details corroborating my charges. His
reply exposes not only these details, but
his ignorance, of duty as well as of
grammar. 1t shows but he fitting of
tho cap" aud the "wincing" of "thc
CALLED jade under my criticism, which
appears too we'll mcrited to be a Jest.
Under his mistaken notions of his
power to turn things to account" l
would warn him of another tribunal to
which lie is answerable besides that of
public opinion; and where, if he ex-
ercis.s his supposed power" he may
meet with punishment severcr than
criticism or censure
He concludes his reply by saying,
that ''really" she fears and that cit
would be pity TO brand his critic "a
liar" He NAV well tear and it really
would be n pity for him to do this.
| cannot say hat this Judge Shallow
is liar, in his details of his Court
because they confirm my statements.
But in his personal illusions do say,
without fear or pity that he is 'liar."
That is plain enough even for him.
Further, /, like the statements MAKE
am not mythical but substantial and
real, and this Justice Shallow who
whines so at being abused can get my
name by proper application to you, Mr..
Editor, if he desires satisfaction, other
than that Of again publishing himself
an "ass."
