The case appears from the opinion
of the court.
The court says:
The writ brings up for review a
judgment rendered against the prose-
'cutor in a court for the trial of small
causes held before a justice of the
peace of Middlesex County. The judg-
ment Is clearly invalid. The return
made by the justice shows that after
the trial of the cause had been begun
by him, and all the witnesses produced
upon the part of the plaintiff had been
examined, and the plaintiffs case
rested, and q motion to non-suit had
been made by the prosecutors and re-
fused, an application was made by the
plaintiff for an adjournment; that this
application was granted, and an ad-
5ournment made: and that such ad-
1ournment was against the protest of
the prosecutor. The return further
shows that upon the adjourned day.
and In the absence CT the prosecutor.
the Justice resumed the trial Of the
cause, and at its conclusion gave judg-
ment for the plaintiff.
Ever since the decision of the cases
OF Andrews ". Wright and Stretch ".
Forsyth; 1t has been entirely settled
that Justice Of the peace cannot ad
1ourn cause after It's trial has been
begun and witnesses have been exam
ined upon the merits. If he does so
he loses Jurisdiction Of the case, and
a Judgment subsequently, rendered by
him Is coram non Judice and void The
Judgment will be set aside with costs
to the prosecutor. Reversed.

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
October 6, 1885,
THERE rs NO LIABILITY FOR IN
JURY TO A PEDESTRIAN FROM
FALLING INTO A COAL HOLD IN
A SIDEWALK, AUTHORIZED BY
THE CITY. BY REASON OF THE
COVER TIPPING, 1T BEING LIKE
THE GREAT MAJORITY OF COAL
HOLES IN THE CITY, MANY PEG
PIE HAVING CONTINUALLY
PASSED OVER 1T. AND NO EVIL
DENCB TO SHOW NEGLIGENCE
IN ITS CONSTRUCTION OR CON
DITION.
This was an action by Mary Rush
ton and her husband for damages occa-
stoned her from falling into coal hole
on Federal street, in Allegheny City
by reason of the tipping OF the cover
Of said hole. The suit was against the
city, the owner Of the abutting lot and
Its lessee. The lower court directed a
non-suit, and plaintiffs appealed.
The Court says:
The jotnder of the city with the
owners Of the property and their lessee
as defendants shows that the plaintiffs
were not able to specify the party
chargeable with the alleged negligence
and that 1t had its origin in their hope
of establishing negligence on the part
or at least one of the several parties
thus united. We agree with the learn
ed court below that the plaintiffs can,
not maintain their suit without proof
OF the negligence charged in the state
ment of their claim. If, therefore, the
evidence in the case at bar Is not suffi-
Client to support the controlling charge,
It was the plain duty Of the court. on
the motion of the defendants to enter
compulsory non-suit, and TO deny the
plaintiffs motion to take 1t off. The
coal holes of chutes in the sidewalks
Of Allegheny City are authorized by the
municipal authorities, and compliance
with the regulations relating to them Is
all that Is required OF the owners or
tenants Of the abutting properties The
coal hole or chute In question is, in Its
location and construction, like the
great majority. If not all, OF the coal
holes or chutes in said city. 1t was
familiar to Mrs. Rushton, and, accord
Ing to her own testimony she passed
over 1t at least twice n week during a
period of five years Immediately pre-
ceding her fall. None Of the hundreds
OF pedestrians who passed over it
daily before and after the occurrence In
question received any Injury from it,
or complained at any time to any of the
defendants or other persons of.a defect
IN It, All the undisputed facts in the
case were opposed to the plaintiffs
contention, and the testimony submit
ted by them on the trial was clearly in,
sufficient to sustain the charge of neg
iigence against either of the defend
ants. 1t follows that the court below
did not err in entering and refusing to
take off the non-suit. Affirmed.

Worn bV Owners of Valuable Gems f0ns
 Various Reasons.
 New Orleans Times-Democrat. Ac- eording to an expert goldsmith, the practice of wearing fake replicas oe valuable diamonds is considerably more common than one would sup pose. It Is usually done by people who are in temporary straits and wish to borrow little money on their jew elry without exciting suspicion by It's absence. Of course, such a thing aa paste diamond that would stand even the briefest scrutiny of an expert does not exist outside the pages of romance, but those who are known as the owners of handsome gems can wear an imitation with a good deal Of impunity. It never occurs to any of their friends that the familiar stone may be a substitute, and it is passed with at most casual glance. 1t is said that a number of these doubles exist in New Orleans. They must be specially mounted to pass muster, and the job, when properly done, is far from easy. Some years ago local jeweler was commissioned to make paste duplicate of lady's br celet. It was a narrow hoop of gold set with 10 perfectly matched brilliants weigh. ing about two earats each, and alter mated with q similar number of very handsome emeralds. There was no telling exactly what the trinket was worth. for the value of such things ia largely arbitrary when they are titled to be c1assed as unique, but 1t ran some distance into the thousands. The setting of the stones, which was of the style known technically as gypsy that is to say, flush the metal-made them rather easy to initiate, but when the work was partly done, the jewelee grew suspicious that 1t was intended for some improper purpose and refused to proceed without an explanation. The man who gave the order, who was stranger in the city, poeketed the ort- ginal and disappeared in some agita- ton. He was never seen again, and there is doubtless a queer story behind the episode. The half finished brace let is still in the jewellers safe.
 Hornets as Murderers.
 Canadian hornets will tackle almost anything that flies in their quest for food. In illustration an Ontario gar dener tells of singular observation he made recently in his gardens. He found nightingale nest in one of the hedges and watched it daily until fouy young birds were matched out A day later he was driven away from the nest by swarm Of hornets, which hovered about 1t. and finally settled upon It like a solid cover of black and gold. Presently the hornets arose and disap- peared as suddenly as they had come. The gardener found the four little nightngales dead. their poor bodies being masses of ugly stings.

IrrIgating Strawberries.

Irrigation has two distinct advan- tages; it discounts the possibility of loss from drouth, and increases fruit production. Some commercial grow CTS have even trebled the average yield by judicious irrigation. But there are disadvantages, also. The fruit is like ly to become soft and unfit for long shipment; a deterioration in quality usually accompanies an abundant water supply; and, again, the season is retarded several days. If one is catering to a personal and discrimi- hating market, where quality is ap- preciated, it would be wise to think twice before irrigating frequently dur ing the fruiting season. None of these objections holds where irrigation is practiced during the summer preceding fruitage, and to my mind, this is it's legitimate place in strawberry culture. believe that crop production depends more on conditions during the first seasons growth than the second, and that our aim should be to carry great Iusty crowns into the winter with plenty of reserve strength.-S. w. Fletcher in Rural New Yorker.
