IRA SHAFER EXPLAINS.

The attack made few days since by Mr Ira Shher
on Judges Davis and Daniels, and which AZ the uine
through the boldness OF tho assault excited general
wonder among both members OF the Bench and tho
Bar has from the hint thrown out by Judge Law
renee before whom In Supreme Court, Chambers, the
opprobrious epthets uttered, that he should re-
port the case before General Term Of the Court in
duced the plain spoken lawyer TO rise to make ex-
plantations He took occasion, to borrow a legal
phrase to put himself fright on record" On the
reassembling yesterday OF Supreme Court, Chambers
as he to address the Court there the most
profound silence Mr. shafer spoke with great feeling
his remarks being substantially follows:-
May IT please Your Honor, have obtained copy OF
your opinion on Heatherton Hastings, ana while
Your Honor sustans my objections to the motion you
remark that you deem il your duty report my Ian
guage to a General Term Of the Supreme Court pre-
sumo Your Honor refers TO my remarks respecting
Justices Davis and Daniels
Judge Lawrence nodded his head by way or assent
Mr. Shafer continucd-It is difficult to describe the
feelings which overcame me on that occasion. My
friend had been mpeached for doing what Your Honor
was asked to do by counsel had been sued, and to
say the least, had been severely criticised by the
justices named for doing less. Smarting, as did,
under these reflections, In an unguarded mo
ment notwithstanding my long experience at
the Bar and my uniform courtesy to the
Bench l was betrayed into putting my
thoughts into language unbecoming the occasion and
exceeding the license Of legal debate however great
the seeming provocation The has given me
to the orderly administration Of justice to Your Honor
and to all concerned TO say, as do that sincerely
regret the occurrence More would not say now, less
could not have said and be manly. had intended TO
say much before | saw Your Honor's opinion, and
attended here for that purpose but found Your Honor
engaged that disliked TO disturb you. will add
that, although what said without premeditation,
can recall from memory the language employed, and
win furnish il to Your Honor If you desire It. await
Your Honors pleasure in the premises. beg not to
be misunderstood have said this much solely IRON
sense Of duty, not from fear. The meaning OF that
word personally, do not understand.
Judge Lawrence-Your remarks on the occasion re-
ferred TO by you were hoard by me and understood.
They gave great deal OF pain, and will consider
what will do after your observations thought AZ
the time that you smartng under some injuries
which you supposed you had received, although had
not the opinion to which you refer. | am very
glad however, that you have expressed yourself as you
have, and will take your remarks into CONSIDERATION
Mr. Shafer-Lest there be some misunderstanding by
Your Honor to what have said beg leave TO fur
nish you my notes
Mr. Shafer then passed up q paper to Judge Law
renee, presumably the manuscript Of his speech.
