A Judges Charge, With Variations,

The following comes from Georgia,
and Its accuracy is vouched for by the
stenographer who took it down:
Judge = was noted for the way he
got mixed in his charges to the jury.
On one occasion case was tried before
him the points of which may be brie fly
stated thus: Smith brought suit against
Jones upon promissory note given for
horse. Jones defense was failure of
consideration, he averring that at the
time OF the purchase the horse had the
glanders, of which he died, and that
Smith knew it. Smith replied that the
horse did not have the CHAMBERS, but
had the distemper, and that Jones knew
it when he bought.
The Judge charged the jury: "Gen-
tlemen of the jury, pay attention TO the
charge of the court You have already
made one mistrial OF this case because
you did not pay attention to the charge
OF the court, and l don't want you to
do 1t again. / intend to make it so
clear to you this time that you cannot
possibly make any mistake. This suit
is upon note given for a prornissory
horse. L hope you understand that.
Now, if you find that at the time of the
sale Smith had the glanders, and Jones
knew it, Jones cannot recover. That is
clear, gentlemen. will state it again.
If you find that at the time of the sale
Jones had the distemper, and Smith
knew it, then Smith cannot possibly
recover. But, gentlemen, L will state
it third time, so that you cannot pos
sibly make mistake. If at the time
of the sale Smith had the CHAMBERS, and
Jones had the distemper, and the horse
knew it, then neither Smith, Jones nor
the horse can recover. Let the record
be given to the jury."-Raper'S Magq-
