Mr.. Justice Monkhouse, one Of those
who are jeered at as humorous judges,
but who are generally much more seri-
Gus than the serious Judges; for their
levity comes from living impatience
of professional solemnity, while the seri-
Gus judge is really filled with frivolity,
because he is filled with vanity. All the
chief actors being OF worldly impor-

The prosecutor for the crown was Sir
Walter Cowdray, heavy but weighty
advocate of the sort that knows how to
seem English and trustworthy, and how
to be rhetorical with reluctance. The
prisoner was defended by MIR. Patrick
Butler, X. c., who was mistaken for a
mere faneur by those who misunder-

who had not been examined by him.
