JUDGE LIPPlNC1TT'S PROPHECY
If there is anything the lawyers like to
do it is to get the Chancellor and Judges
before whom they practice the veal
round. where they can tell them just
what they think of them. without any
danger of being committed for contempt
of courG or OF equally direfui conse-
quences. So the Bar Association gives a
dinner once a year, to which it invites
the Judiciary, and after its members have

into a complacent mood with meat and
drink, they IRE their wit at them unre-
servedly. Saturday night the Hudson
County Bar Association took its turn at
this sort of thing at the Hotel Washing
ton. Additional interest was given to the
affair by the fact that the dinner partook
of the nature of q compliment to George
L. Werts, who on that day retired from
his seat upon the Bench of the Supreme
Court to become the Chief Magistrate of
the Commonwealth.

"Oh. no. no, no." came from all parts of
the room, mingled with shouts and
