was taken 10 court and tried BY an
eminent Justice Of the Peace, infist
whose idea Of justice rarely meets
with reversal, except when it chances
10 fall under the severe gaze Of a
Judge who knows the law.
When the lawyers had closed their
arguments, the old Justice killed
horsedy with papper.cuter, and
said 4sThis Cont Is ready 70 deliver
its opinion. The Court holds that
defendant bad right to visit the land
Of the Montezam8s and Cortezes, and
thst while there had a perfect right to
form a taste for the dishes prepared
by the inhabitants Of that country.
This Court furthermore holds that the
defendant had b perfect right to pre-
pare the dish and eat it under the
American flag in other words, he had
a right to put il on his table"
''Ihen / understand said the law

Gust wait, If You please, until this
Court has concluded The decision. In
order to be thoroughly prepared to
judge the case wisely, this Court or
dered and tasted sample Of the stuff
brought from the depraYed land Of
the Monteznnsas, and this Court is
prepared 10 say that man who
wouldn't knock fellow down for
placing such 4 hidden mine Of explo-
siye compounds within his reach,
ought to break ont with the neLtle-
rash snd be deprived Of the right Of
suffrage. This Court would advise
the plaintiff 10 keep ont Of the de-
fendaDt's way, but viii say that if the
defendant don't catch him aud

position, be win lay himself liable 10
