Should a man appropriate to his own

get into an office TO which his neighbor

the purloiner Of IN office and the yericst
acts Of scoundrelism do not in their csti.

LADY SCOTT, who was sentenced vestnr
day in the old Bailey Court in England to
serve eight months in jail for criminal
libel, interrupted the judge when he was
passing sentence upon her and told hin, to
cut his lecture short. We have often
thought the judges had no legal right to
lecture prisoners before nor after passing
sentence. There is nothing in the digest
to give the judges the right to lecture the
persons before them. They arc orl the
bench to oxpuund the law to tho lury. I'm
