A writ six ieet in length recently was
served on parties in Greensboro VI. Were
Greensboro like Galway IN the good old
times, such a writ would have been the
death OF somebody. and perhaps OF some
bodies 10 Galway it was the custom to
make the man who sought to serve writ,
eat it. He was MT allowed to get on without
swallowing the ghole OF the villanons IN
yention, way and all,-and. that done. he
was permitted to diges. il in peaee. } writ
of six feet would have besn too much Tor
digestion, and the consumer soon would
have required six feet of earth. after his
exertions, and served him right, too; That
glorious old custom has fallen into desue-
tnde. and the royal writ runs in Galway,
where once writ-servers were run down
without mercy, just like other wolves; But
as all that s bright must fade, all that 5
good must go.-B0ston Trapsller.
