forty to be seriously burned, while sever
al others were injured by pieces of n

used for rollers skating. The first intima-

guage of witness, the accused while
drunk pulled out his knife and "slash-

the abdomen" The attending physician
being called to the stand to make the
usual proof as to the nature and extent
of the wound, testified "that the knife
entered the lower part of the abdomen
and thence extending through the omen

The Clerk, to whom all this was
Greek, cnquired of the Solicitor General
if he desired that portion OF the Doctors
testimony taken down. The Solicitor
anticipating some fun, replied in the
affirmative and requested the doctor to
repeat it slowly, which ho did in Ian

Old Judge A., losing his accustomed
suayity ofmanper, impatiently exclaim-
ed:

The doctor has since studiously avoided
the use of technicalities in the presence
of the uninitiated.
