1t takes very little to get story started
in this country. Last Thursday it was
reported that W. C, Benet, Esq, pulled
off his coat in the Court House to fight
Solicitor Orr during all argument on the
Ferguson case. This was an entire mis-
take. Mr.. Benct merely removed his
overcoat when he replied to Solicitor Orr
so that his gestures would be more grace
full and appropriate. Lawyers don'ttight,
and they are not mad every time they
look like it in the Court House. The idea
is that they must do the quarreling and
their clients the fighting, if any is to be
done.-A6berile Medium.

son, after being out forty-two hours, have
failed tc agree. A mistrial was ordered
and the jury discharged. The jury re-
mained almost unchanged from the begin
ming to the end. and stood eight for con-
viction and four for acquittal AT the
first trial only two were for conviction
and at the second, seScn were for convic-
ton. From this it would seem that the
defence is getting weaker instead ol
stronger The jury seemed to be very
tired and some wore apparently much
exhausted by their long confinement,
having been kept together by the Court
under deputy since Monday morning
The prisoner is looking thin and weak
owing to recent sickness and the suspense
of the trial.-Dipatch to Sunday Nc,vs, 1871
