a Curious consultation.

John II. b. L.trUbe ia February Harper.
When the railroad was opened for travel
between Baltimore aud Washington, /
saw Mr. Webster frcquc=.ly; but it was
not until we were both employed in the
important case of Wilson re. Russeau, in
the Supreme Court, that l was again
brought into professional relations with
him. Our client, Mr. James G.. Wilson.
had 40 less than seven counsel-Mr. Web
ster, Mr.. VIM. II. Seward, Mr.. Reverdy
johnson, Mr. Phelps, of Vermont, Mr..
Henderson, Of Louisiana, Mr.. Hall, of
Washington, and myself. The Court had
consented to our dividing the point5-two
speaking to each. But the difficulty was
TO get us all together for consultation. AT
last, IL dispair Of succeeding otherwise.
Mr.. Wilson invited us all to q supper at
the National Hotel, at Q O'Clock, with the
understanding that a consultation would
take place at eight. Ii WAS not ubtil half
past eight, however, that Mr. Webster
called 10 to order, stated tie Object Of The
meeting, and complimented our host for
his excellent judgment as displayed in tie
means adopted for securing the attendance
of bis professional advisers. Turning
then to Mr. Seward, he said, "And now.
Brother Seward, you will begin with
reading the record" Records in those
deys were not printed, as now, but we're
engrossed on folio cap paper, and 10 this
particular case the record was a heavy
pile Of manuscript, which Hr. Sewafd
rested on bis lap, and which would have
taken several hours 10 read, while there
remained not more than twenty minutes
before supper would be ready. Mr.. sew
ard, however, began with the formal
heading, and Was going on when inter.
rupted by a burst Of laughter, which was
not Quoted by the grave judicial manner
IN which Mr.. Webster called for order. /
and requested Brother Seward 10 pro-
coed. BY this time Mr.. Seward. who had
az yet preserved his co~untenabce, Joined
10 the mirtb; when Mf. Webster. shrine
ging bis shoulders and turning 10 our eli
ent, said, you sec how q 10, hr. Wilson
there seems 10 be no alternative but 10
begin With supper. Do you think II is Z
ready Perhaps we may get On better
with the record sftcrward and 10 simmer
in an adjoining room Mr.. Wilson and HE
cjnsel marched, With Mr. Webster A. the
head Of the procession.
