Judicial Tantrums.

After a service of nearly thirty years
as recorder Of Dublin Sir Frederick
Falkiner is about to retire at the age
of seyenty-fOur.
Sir Frederick is noted throughout
ireland as one of the most irritable
judges upon the bench, and he is not
slow to uncork the vials of his wrath
when anything in the handling Of a
case evolles his displeasure.
In his earlier days he was constantly
in hot water, but it was found that his
bark was worse than his bite, and after
awhile the counsel practicing in his
court learned to receive with stolidity
his TRADES Of abuse.
1t was astonishing to a chance Wis
itor to behold Il recorder dressing down
a lawyer who stood silent before the
torrent of words, but the lawyer well
knew that before the court closed the
recorder would make amends for his
outbreak by singing the unfortunate
attorney to be the recipient Of some
marked compliment
The retirement of Sir Frederick will
remove from the Irish bench one Of its
most picturesque figures, but his men,
Ory will live in the legal fraternity
through the good stories told of his out
breaks and apologies.
