The Champion Legal Story.

A St. Petersburg paper vouches for
the truth Of legal story which quite
comes up to anything of the kind yield
ed by our own courts of law. A man
found himself just recently in the pris-
oner's dock on third charge of theft.
His advocate, young man, made a
long speech to the jury in defense, and
towards the close spoke as follows:
'.Now, gentlemen of the jury, let us 60
into the depths of history: let us 60 back
5000 wears" II must ask you to
keep to the subject" interposed the
Judge. "Then we will go but 1000 years
back" continued the lawyer, 'and we
see without doubt Another re-
minder from the bench. "Good, we
will go back 1000 years; or, no-since
it is forbidden to appeal to history, let
us turn to geography. In the Sandwich
Islands, gentlemen' A third call

Gates response; sin the islands lying
nearer to us, as Madeira, there exists q

the Judge again, Il speak to you for
the last time. If you talk again Of
things which have nothing to do with
the case shall refuse to hear you any
longer" Il protest against an infring-
ment Of the rights Of the defense" was
the unabashed reply, ''and request
that my protest may be taken note off,

not see why you should not let my client
