ONE JUDGE FINES ANOTHER.

A FUNNY SCENE BETWEEN TWO OFFICIALS IN A
MAMARONECK COURT.
The rather curious spectacle Of Judge sentenc-
ing another to so fine or ten days imprisonment
was witnessed in courtroom in Mamaroneck yes
terday The case was that OF William Bell hotel
keeper of Rosedae. against Frederick krouse for
assault. The defendant represented by Justice
a. NJ. Perrin. who argued the case before Justice
John W. McCabe. There was no attorney for Bell,
and Justice McCabe asked the questions III behalf
Of Bell This led TO frequent clashes between the
two Judges greatly 70 the amusement of the large
audience Judge Perrin would ask questions and
Judge McCabe would oVerrue him from the bench.
Judge Perrin finally became angry and began using
loud language.
"Sit down" shouted Judge McCabe. "or l will
fine YOU.
you don't dare to- shouted the other Judge.
Judge McCabe cautioned him. but he persisted.
and McCahe brought down his gaVel with tnump.
II fine you $40 or ten days in Jail
The villagers excited and urged the Judge
to suspend the sentence. which he afterward did.
but not until Judge Perrin had made ample apollo
giles. Afierward this continued and de-
Cided in favor Of the plaintiff.
