A Worcester, Mass, attorney was or
dered by the presiding Judge to sit
down, but after the order had been Is
sued he dared to request he Judge to
exclude certain testimony, and for this
proceeding was ordered under arrest,
charged with contempt of court Pray
what are we coming to in the old Bay
state? Have we another Jeffries come
to judgment? Is it high-handed pro-
ceeding for lawyer in Massachusetts,
to utter request after he has been or
dered to take his seat? Can Massa-
chusetts lawyers only speak when
standing and then only BY the suffer
ance of the presiding Judge? Does
James II. again boss the Bay state?

The general term of the Supreme
court of New York has reversed the
Judgment against Erastus Wiman, who
was last summer convicted OF forgery
This is probably the end Of the case
It may be said now that the verdict OF
the jury was given under ruling OF
the court which gave it no alternative
but to convict. The jury were not al
lowed to decide as to Mr.. Wiman's in
tent to defraud, and this the general
term holds to be an error. 1t is reason
ably certain that should new trial be
had under the ruling as now defined by
the courts that the verdict would be an
acquittal.

There is an inclination in England
to leave untitled the ancient Office of
examiner of all stage plays made
vacant by the death of Mr.. Pigott. The
queen is understood to have been great
ly dissatisfied with the course of the
late incumbent OF the post in allowing
the woman with a past to get such a
firm hold on the British state She is
fearful that the precedent established
by the no over scrupulous Mr.. Pigott
will be initiated by his successors, and
therefore her majesty fails to see how
any good can result from play censors
who are willing to overlook the mis-
deeds of ladies with antecedents. So
she inclines to let the post, like that
of the poet laureate, remain open.
