nUMoR OF BENCH AND THE BAR.

Some Good Stories From Various
Courts Across the Oceau.
Grim humor has often played conspicu-
Gus part in criminal trials, and of the no.
torious Irish hanging judge. Lord Norbury,
some curious stories are told.
A man was once tried before him for the
awful offence Of putting out his tongue at
constable. His lordship ordered him to
be whipped on three successive days from
the Jail to the market house. When his
lordship had concluded, the prisoner ex-
claimed: "The devil thank you; theat's all
you can dol' Whereupon his lordship, re-
suming, said, Hold your tongue, sir; how
dare you interrupt the judgement of the
,urt," and then significantly added, land
back again."
fthe same judge it was said that he had
never been known to shed tear but zee,
and that was during the representation of
the "Beggar's OPERA" when Macb-th got
reprieve 1t is also related of him that
he once asked an eminent special pleader,
at the dinner table. whether the dish near
him was hung beef, because, if so, he would
try it. IF you try it. my lord" was the
bitter reply, "it is sure to be hung"
Lord Bra xfield, scoth judge, once said
to an eloquent culprit at the bar: You're
a vera clever chiel, mon; but Pm thinking
ye wad be none the waur O. hangin'."
Unconsc iously funny was the Irishman
who, on being placed at the bar, felt quite
uneasy when arraigned, and complained
bitterly that he should be in such an awk-
ward position, SO far from friends and
home. The judge felt kindly toward him,
and said, "Be calm. young man. You may
rest assured that, although among strangers.
full justice will be done you" ''Be me
soul, yer honor" groaned Pat, "and it's
the fear Of that same that thrubbles me-"
But funnier still, in its unconscious
humor, in the following:-Lord Chief JUS
tice Holt, when young, was very extrava-
CANT, and belonged to club of wild fellows,
life. When his lordship was engaged at the
Old Bailey, man was tried and convicted
of a robbery on the highway whom the
judge remembered to have been one of his |
old companions. Moved by that curiosity
which is natural on a retrospection of past
life, Holt, thinking the fellow did not know
him, asked him what had become of such |
and such Of his old associates. "Ah, my |
lord" said the culprit, making low bow,
"they are all hanged but your lordship |
and T." |
