Motlon. Il ! court 81 Iu.tioe.

A rather crude citizen Of Seguin, a
small town in western Texas, was
elected justice Of the peace, and the
only law book he had was Cushing's
Manual. The first case before him was
that Of cowboy for stealing q steer.
When the case was called the leading
lawyer Of the town, the Hon. John Ire
land by name, was there to defend the
prisoner.
"As there is no counsel for the other
side, he said, II make make motion
that the case be dismissed"
The justice looked over his Manual.
"a motion has to be seconded, /" he said.
Il second the motion" promptly re-
sponded the prisoner.
"The motion has been seconded that
the case be dismissed, " said the court.
"All in favor win please say aye" The
prisoner and his attorney voted faye"
"All opposed will say no." Nobody
voted.
'sThe motion is carried, and the case
is dismissed repeated the court. "A
motion to adjourn is now in order"
The prisoner made the motion, and
the court adjourned. Lancaster Law
Review.
