Good Stories Are Told of an Irish
Judge of High Repute.
From the London Telegraph.

From the London Telegraph.
Lord Morris, who has served his coun-
try in judicial capacity for the long
period of thirty-three years, is repre-
sentative of one of the old families known
as the tribes of Galway" Lord Morris
has never lost that meili1uous brogue
which distinguishes west of Ireland folk
This characteristic provides the ground
work for at least two stories told of him
On one occasion the noble lord, twice an
occupant of the Irish bench. was present
a a wedding in company with Judge
Keogh Morris was lamentiug that he
had forgotten to throw an old shoe after
the bride and bridegroom, when Keogh
remarked: Throw your brOgue after
them; it VIII do just as we'll" At an
other time Lord Norris was sitting at the
four courts as lord chief justice of Ire
land. when a young barrister from the
north rose nervously to make his first
motion. The judge had declared that no
one listening TO himself would ever take
him for anything but an Irishman, which
was perfectly correct. But Galway could
not understand Antrim. The lord chief
justice leaned over the bench to ask the
associate where the barrister hailed from.
County Antrim" was the response.
Then asked his lordship of the official:
Did We iver come across SIGH a fright
full acciut in the course of yer loife?"
When Lord Morris first went the Con-
naught circuit where he had practced
before his elevation to the bench at the
carly age of 80. he gave many specimens
of his native wit. Az one assize town
