A CRUSHING SARCASM.

Chief Justice Spoford, during the
latter part of his official career, was about
as brusque and biting as man could be,
and in his bitter moods he was apt to
be as ungenerous as he was sarcastic.
When left to his own meditations, with
nothing to ruffie his temper, his decisions
were clear and compact, and his legal
papers patterns of ornate erudition and,
moreover, his decisions were held as good
and sufficient law of precedent.
Once upon time Spofford was at the
head of the bench holding a Court of
Equity, and in the case under trial it
became necessary for an attorney to prove
the death of certain man. This attor-
ney was by name Wallington-a thin
visaged, nervous, buzzing fellow, who
had the reputation of never letting 60
his hold upon case until he had wrung
the last possible dollar from it.
Wellington produced what he consid
cred sufficient proof of the death of the
man in question; but the Judge would
not accept it.
THAT is no proof at ALL was Spot
