Power of Webster's Eyes.
rFrom the Concord IN. H.) Monitor. I


The first criminal case Mr.. Webster
was engaged in was when in the practice
of the law at Boscawen. He was Junior
counsel, and the case was tried at Ply
mouth. At the examination of a witness
who was one of your moderate-speaking,
self-poised men, the impression was fixed
upon the minds of the counsel that he
had not told ALL Every approach the
ingenuity of counsel could make was
made upon him; still he was the same.
jeremiah Smith of Exeter was the pre-
siding judge, man unequaled in his
acuteness. He questioned the witness
with similar success. AS he was step
ping down from the stand Mr.. Webster,
giving the man one of his looks, said:
Mr.. Witness!" asked him one question
and drew from him the answer they had
been SO long after. Upon another occa-
sion while he resided at Portsmouth, a
man from Newmarket was prosecuted
and summoned to appear before three
