THE EAR OF THE COURT.
Counsel at Last Had Got What He
Desired

Many years ago, when Hugh l..
Bond was Judge of the United States
Circuit Court, and was holding a term
Of the court in Raleigh, n. c., the
late Henry A. Gillian, afterward
Judge of the Superior Court of this
state. appeared as counsel in some of
the cases that were being tried before
the Baltimore Judge. During these
trials the rulings of the court were
uniformly against the clients of Judge
Gillian, and frequently Judge Bond
would say to Judge Gillian that there
was no merit in his contentious and
instruct him to proceed to something
else
After the session Of the court had
been concluded. Col. John w. Hns-
dale, one of the leading lawyers of
the court, gave dinner to Judge
Bond, and invited all the Raleigh
lawyers who had attended the
court.
In the meantime Col. Hinsdale had
asked Judge Bond what was his IA
vorite dinner dish and had been told
hogs head and turnip sallett."
Judge Bond occupied the head of
the table, and noticing the dish of
hogs head and turnip sallett imme-
diately before him had the waiter
present the same to Judge Gillian
with his compliments. The waiter
did so, and Judge Gillian seized the
knife and commenced to saw on the
hogs ear, remarliing at the time that
this was the first time during the
week that he had had the ear of the
court New York Times.
