COURT SCENES AND INCIDENTS.

II WA hardly anticipated, though 1T had been
stated. that Mr.. Beach would finish his argument
Yesterday. From the careful ...d elaborate manner
in wfie tae speaker began to take up the epistoiary
correspoudence of Mr. Bceeher, it was soon
evident that the argument must necessarily
be extended so rs to occupy another day
or more in its presentation. 1t has ex-
cited great interest among al assembled 10 the
court room, and its many oratorical passage have
received demcnstrative appreciation. The speakers
eulory of Mr. Moulton yesterday vas of this cllarae-
fer and drew applause. ripple Of merriment was
excited D. reference to Mr.. Tracy who the speaker
declared, had got Moulton to tire bottom OF the
ahvsnal drpth which only Tracy could reach" The

Nelson's remark that the juryman did not ascribe
the cause of Lis sickness to Mr.. Beach provoked a

Another consideration pronaaing the Adjournment
arose from the tie of the conclusion of the summing
