AT recent trial before Justice
Of the Peace, in the southern portion
of the county, the Justice was SO an
noyed by something that transpired,
that he so far forgot his judicial digni-
ty'as to indulge in asgood, round oath.
After the trial and entering of judg
ment, the defeated party to the suit
remembered the oath, made an infor-
nation of the fact before another JUS
tice, residing about ten or twelve miles
distant, and had warrant issued,
which was given to a constable to
serve. When the warrant was read tn
the erring justice, he brought forth his
docket, showed that he had fined HIM
self for his lapse into profanity, so
entered judgment against himself, and
collected the fine. The constable had
nothing else to do but let the matter
drop, and the party who hoped to get
even with the justice by making the
information, is now confronted with
bill of costs amounting to 81 Clarion
