Leniency.
There was Christmas in the realm OF
Justice John yesterday.
With the noise Of crackers cracking,
with the toot Of the diminutive tin horn
a-tooting. and the ever omnipresent yell
OF the small boy a-yelling, as fitting ac-
compartments to the day, his Honor held
high court and dispensed unerring justice
to the holiday offenders.
There was the usual attendance OF look
ers-on, from the yellow-faced individual,
with his high collar and weather-beaten
derby, TO the familiar face and person OF
the eloquent Giles Jackson, who defended
his clients free Of charge as a Christmas
gift.
Justice Crutchfeld balanced his spec
tacles on the end of his nose. nudged
iOvial Sergeant Thomas in the NTH rib.
and invited that court official to come and
see him and help him partake Of his an
nual bow Of eggnog.(O
Clerk White compressed his feveTed
brow and wrote with a trembling hand
commitment after commitment, while
ever and anon a deep sigh escaped
his lips as he thought Of Saturday night
and Broad street.
His Honor gave away discharges and
Biblical advice free of charge, but as
some Of the prisoners did not seem pleas
cd Justice Crutchield promised that next
Christmas he would give away chromOs.
Twenty jewellers paid r|epentant fines.
Those that were short Of cash were prom

pines Of Henrico. and in solitude hold
sweet Cnverse with nature. or else sat
isfy the inner man with a dianer from

The wanderers wandered. shook the
dust Of the city from their feet, and with
silent maledictions TUNED their faces TO-
ward Petersburg.
'Of al sweet words Of tongue or pen,
The sweetest were these, Dismissed

It fell more gently on the ear Of the
prisoner chan falls the sleep of night or

With a laudable desire TO spend Christ
mas in the bosom of his family, Justice
Crutchneld FASTENED the proceedings OF
his court by continuing a number Of cases
until to-day.
