VIII Punish the Rash Lawyer.
Local lawyers declare that Judge Brad

doubt He is noted for the strict decorum
which be enf0rces i'm the courtroom. Yes
terday he informed one spectator in the
rear of the room that the court was not
the House of Commons and IL was not
customary 10 wear hats there. Again, he
raped three times very sharply upon the
desk with his full hand when Colonel
Breckenridge and his attorneys were con-
ferring I'm over-loud tones.
Congressman Breckenridge was notice
ably more nervous to-day and less at
ease than he has been heretofore, al

cernedly than most men would under the
circumstances, and takes decided in

frequently prompting his attorneys and
Offering them suggestions.

ARRAY and the identity Of the bevy> Of
acknowledgement young ladies' who
were summarily excluded from the court
room by Judge Bradley. The days pro-
ceedings brought forth description Of
the barriers against taking testimony for
the plaintiff which had been met In Colo
mel Brecklnridge's State, and much OF
the time was consumed by arguments
over the admissibnity OF dispositions
which We're objected 10 on technical
grounds
