The gathering is very brsiny Que.
Foreheads towering and far reaching
glisten like dew in the morning sun.
Gray hairs, toe, are plentiful. Locks,

LIBERALITY OF A PRIEST.

l was much pleased this afternoon on
coming out of the Assembly 10 meet q
well-known Catholic priest entering. The
gentleman took q seat near the door and
at once appeared to take a lively interest
in the surroundings. None OF those who
sat near observed this new "looker on in
Venice" and be evidently felt grateful
that he wss not the target of observation.
His liberslIty is certainly commendsble.

accessory before and after the fact Of an
abortion performed on Mary Alice ker-

JUSTICE PINCKNEY.

Tho taking Of testimony in the matter Of the pro-
ceedings against Justice Pinckney was set down for
yesterday morning at eleven o'clock in the Office of
the Corporation Counsel. The Justices counsel.
Messrs. Newcomb and Buck. appeared before the ref
cree. Mr.. Oliver p Buel, and moved for adjourn
ment upon the ground that the Justice was very i'll
and lying at the point Of death In support OF their
application they produced atidavits from Drs. Dumar.
Schoonover and Pinckney. Corporation Coun-
sci w. O. Whitney appeared in person and
opposed any adjournment. the ground that very
material witnesses, whom he intended to examine
on the Of their departure for Europe, and
delay would lose him the benefit of their testimony
He could not conceive how the presence Of Justice
Pinckney was necessary at proceeding of this kind
case in court The delays already had at the instance
Of Justice Pnckney's counsel numerous. and it
about time that something were done in the mat
ter. He was willing however, he said, to sub
NIT to m adjournment till Wednesday. provided
that in the meanwhile Justice Pinckney could
be visked by other physicians in order that it might
be ascertaned by their report whether there any
prospect Of the Justices being able to attend to the
conduct of his defence to any other business,
whether the trouble with him was the same chronic
complaint that had been matter of public notoriety
for the past two years. Mr.. Whitney named DR..
Aonzo Clarke to visit the Justice and Mr. Bucl named
Dr. Austin Flint, Sr, with the understanding that in
either Of these gentlemen should decline to act
the vacancy could be filled by DR.. Austin Flint, Jr.
An adjournment was then taken until Wednesday
morning at eleven o'clock.
