we'll he was sent out of the court room
for few minutes on some slight errand,
aud when he returned he his post, Judge
Balderston said: "Mr Hallowell, will you
please step forward?" Dick" Immedl-
ately walked upper to his honor's desk, and
stood awaiting orders as usual, III the
most innocent and eXpectant manner pos
sible, evidently unconscious that he had
ever done anything out of the way, or that
anything unusual was about to happen.
The Judge addressed him as follows:
Mr.. Hallowell, as you are about to sever
-FOUR connection with this court, we deem
IL not improper on the OCCASION OF your re-
firing from public service to resume your
duties as a private citizen, to present you
