A JocuInr Magistrate.

The inimitable humor of magistrate at a
police court was brought under notice in the
house of commons last night. Mr.. p A. Tay-
lor asked the home secretary of state If it was
true that at the sedgley police court on the
10th of July, one of the sitting magistrates
addressed a woman who was charged with
neglecting to send her child to school in
these words: "If / were your husband,
and you persisted i'll throwing my hard
earned money away, l should give
you the strap;" and again, al tell you a
woman like you deserves the strap" :" and if
such language was used what steps the home
secretary proposed to take in tho matter. Sir
w. Harcourt, in reply, stated that tho clerk
to the justice had written that the remarks
were made good humoredly," and wore not
intended to be taken seriously. At tho same
time, he lsir w. Harcourt thought. that
jokes on the bench had better be avoided Ad-
vice to this effect has over and over agail, been
rendered in friendly spirit to magistratea who
nevertheless cannot refrain from attempts to
throw the officials of tho court and others
present into convulsions of laughter by efru-
sions of waggery and wit. 1t unfortunately
happens that jokes on the bench, as in this
Sedgley case, often miss their mark, owing to
the difficulty experienced by those who hear
them in recognizing them rs jokes. The in
convenience might perhaps be avoided if the
clerk Of the court were instructed to give mo-
tice that a joke was about to he delivered
from the bench,-St. james Gazette, dug. &

how it happened. have been in some
mighty ticklish places, as you know, but

bone, making my teeth chatter thousand
times minute and my knees knock to-

speaker was T. s. Wilson. the submarine
diver. The occasion was when he descended

my arms and touched something cold and

holo l couldn't say. i climbed up little
