JUDICIAL
Doztns Habft of Famous English
Justice Did Not Give Anybody
an Advantage.

Lord Coleridge, lord chief justice of
England from 1880 until 1894, has
been described AS England's greatest
criminal judge. A writer in the Pail
Mall Magazine says that in appear
EaSs8Es he was the very embodiment
OF judicial dignity. He was
ever courteous and considerable,
and never tried to win cheap APP
plause at the expense of an inexpe-
rienced barrister Or overvrought wit
ness.
He had a curious habit. on the
bench, of leaning back in his chair
and closing his eyes, and this some
times led the unwary to conclude
that he was asleep.
On II occasion, during the trial of
a prisoner for setting fire to a dwell
ing house, the counsel for the defense
was much upset through his igno-
rance of the chiefs habit. Through
out the day he had been trying to
get before the jury the fact that a
man other than the prisoner had
openly threatened TO- burn down the
particular house.
Each attempt to- 'introduce testi-
mony which the rules of evidence
would not admit, was checked by a
prompt objection, Sustained by the
court. But when the speech for the
defense was begun Lord Coleridge
went off into his usual dozc, and the
counsel saw his opportunity.
"Gcntlemen of the jury said he,
"let me come to another and most Sc
rious point. We have heard from the
witnesses thatsa certain Bill Smith
had, prior to the fire, been dismissed
by the prosecutor from his service.
Now, gentlemen, I can tell you some
thing"
"But not about Mr.. William Smith,
I'm afraid" came. from the bench, in
gentle tones which conveyed no sense
of irritation or annoyance.

VERMONT FIRES.

The residence OF h. Z. Todd in Rut-
land, called the Union House, was
almost totally destroyed by fire early
Thursday evening, Nov. 10.
The farm buildings of d. c. Greene,
situated near Colbyyille about one
mile from the village Of Waterbury,
were burned Tuesday night, Nov. IL,
at about IL o'clock, including II head
of cattle, nine hogs, and all the pro-
duce and farm tools and machinery,
and a part of the contents OF the house.
The cause Of the fire is at present un-
known. The insurance will amount
TO SO, 600. This is one Of the largest
and best farms in the town.
The valuable barns of Levi J. Wal
bridge, located about two miles from
the village of Cabot on the road to
Walden depot, were entirely consumed
by fire at 5 a. m. Nov. 10, together
with 200 tons of hay, 80 tons Of feed,
five hogs and large amount Of farm
machinery. The fire was caused by
the explosion OF lantern and spread
so swiftly that it was impossible to
check it. Practically all that was
saved was the larger part of the live
stock.
Fire broke out in Queen City Park
one evening last week and burned
tour cottages, the rest being saved by
strenuous efforts OF a bucket brigade.
The fire started in ID. w. G. Clapp's
cottage and was no doubt of incendiary
origin. 1t was started in the basement
and the dry condition of the cottage
made its progress rapid. Mrs. Nichols
cottage adjoined that of Mr. Clapp
and the flames were quickly communi-
Gated to it, as they were to the cot
tages of George Fowler of Lynn, Mass,
and Don II. Chapman of Cambridge.
In the three latter cottages the furni-
ture was removed, but in Mr.. Clapp's
cottage everything was burned. The
total loss will probably be in the vicin-
ity OF $4,000. Mr.. Clapp had $500
insurance on his cottage and $500 on
his furniture.
