Ryie. ON B,,,s.

Among the humorous memories con.
nected with English judges Is one Of
Justice Bylcs and his horse. This EN-
inent Jurist was well known In his pro.
fession for his work on Bills" and as
this gave fine opportunity for allItera-
ton, his associates were accustomed
60 bestow the name on the horse, which
was but n sorry steed.
There goes Bylcs on Bills" they took
pleasure in saying. and as the Judge
rode out every afternoon. they INDUCED
daily in their little joke. But the truth
was that the horse had another name
known only 10 the master and his man
and when n too-curious client inquired
as to the Judges whereabouts, he was
told by the servant, with clear con-
science, that master was out on Bust
ness"
