PURPOSE OF THE COURT.
- Understood BY . Lawyer Who
Knew How to Circum-
vent It.

Hon. A. G. levitt, lawyer. politician
and man Of sarcastic wit, was ono
trying a case In the supreme court In
elfast, Me-, his home city. The Judge
presiding, before being called to the
bench. had tried many cases against
Jewett, who did not entertain a very
high opinion Of his ability. relates the
Boston Herald.
In his closing argument Jewett, in
defiance of the rules Of the court,
started in to read some law to the jury.
The court pounded on the bench and
said: "Mr. Jewett, you must not read
law to the jury in your closing argu-
ment." Jewett kept on reading with
out 70 much as a glance at the court.
The court, in thunderous tones, order
ed him to stop.
Jewett, who had by this time read
all he intended to read, turned calmly
to the Judge and said: odd your
honor address me?"
II said" roared the Judge, "you
must not read law to the jury In your
closing argument. I will give the law
to the jury. What do you suppose
the court is here for?"
"What IL the court here for?" re-
sponded Jewett, in high falsetto. II
suppose you know, sir, to keep order,
with the aid of the sheriff, sir, with all
Que respect to the sheriff. sir"
