81 notice the papers have laid out d
course of procedure for me to follow re-
garding an occurrence just outside the
courtroom after the court had adjourned
yesterday evening, which the court did
not see, and which the parties concerned
in 1t probably regret as much as the
court docs. 1t is not matter OF which
the court can take judicial notice. As
Ii was past the hour for adjournment
when the plaintiffs counsel had lin.
ished speaking last night and as I no.
tced some evidences Of excitement on
the part of the defendants counsel,
thought 1t best to adjourn the court
Thinking that after a night Of Thought
over the connection in which certain
words had been used the counsel
might lool, upon them differently. Had
the trouble referred 10 taken place in
court 1t would have been the duty of the
court to take judicial notice Of II, aud
he would have done 50 promptly.
Then. after brief pause. Judge Brad.

about which ] deem Il my duty TO speak.
