- received a present of twenty-five
.nlepdid heifers from Mr.. Weller, the
5siepdAnt in the action.
The Chief Justice returned a very
-raeious message 10 Mr.. Weller by his
ssevard, who came in charge OF the cat
tIe. This man was treated with great
-o1rtesy. He returned homo 10 his
,..ster well pleased with the urbanity
nj kindness Of Chief Justice Pyne.
The Judge set forth next day for
cork When driving along in his coach
sndsix. passing near RathcormAc, where
tbe bridge spans the Bride river, the
road was blocked up by q drove Of cat
IL The Chief Justice looked out, and
bebeld a prime herd Of most valuable
sborthorns. He beckoned q man who
was driving the cattle to approach him,
and demanded:
".Whose beasts arc these, my mani"
"They belong, please your honor, to
great gentleman of these parts, Judge
Pyne, your honor, replied the country
man.
"Indeed," cried the Chief Justice, in
much surprise; land where are you
taking them now? ?"
"There were grazing in my master
Mr.. Nangle's farm, your honor, and, as
the assizes are coming on at Cork, my
master thought the Judge might like to
see that he took good care Of them, so
I'm taking them to Waterpark to show
them to the Judge"
The Judge felt the delicacy Of Mr..
Nangle's mode Of giving his present.
Putting his hand in his pocket, he pre-
sented the herdsman with aguinea, said
he was Judge Pyne, and so that as his
master, Mr.. Nangle, had taken such
good care of his cattle, he, the judge,
would take good care of him."
At parting, he desired the herder to
give the animals TO his steward at Wa
terpark, and bade his coachman drive
on, which he did.
During the hearing of the action Of
Nangle Versus Weller, the bearing Of
the Chief Justice seemed at first quite
in favor with the defendant, and that
gentleman nodded often to his attor-
ney, as much as to say, Its all right
have secured the Judge" But as the
case went on, and it was the province Of
the Chief Justice TO charge the jury, he
put the case SO strongly for the plaintiff,
that TO the dismay of Mr.. Weller, the
Jury brought in q verdict for Mr.. Nan
gle without leaving the box, and the
Judge certified for immediate execution.
Mr.. Hangle and his counsel were, Of
course, quite satisfied. No exceptions
were taken to the judges charge, and
the case was won.
When, on his return from the Mum
Ster Circuit, the learned Judge arrived
ct Waterpark, his first question was:
Are the cattle all safe ?"
Perfectly, my lord" replied the
steward. ~

"They are where you left them, my
lord.

The steward was puzzled. He thought
the wits Of the Chief Justice were not
30 clear as those of Chief Justice
ought to be.
Con, said Sir Richard Pyne, put
nng on his hat, "rll have look at
them myself"
The steward led the way across the
AVN to grassy paddock, and there
were found within twenty-five fine heif-
srs, cropping the grass, as happy as If
