Successful Plea Made by British Advo-
cate Will Prove Puzzling to the
Average Layman.

Once upon time q well-known ad.
yocate, Mr.. Byles, before he became a
Judge, was for the defendant in an ac-
ton for breach Of promise Of marriage.
The plaintiff proved the promise to
marry, and the defendant had married
someone else. The case seemed a ques-
ton of damages, but Byles put two
questions to the plaintiff:
"Did he not promise to marry you
when his father was dead?"
"Yes."
us his father deadP
"No."
"That is my case, my lord" said
Byles.
But, Brother Byles," said the judge,
''he has married someone else"
swell, my lord" said Byles, "his
wife may die before his father or aft
erward, and he may outlive them both,
when 1t will be time to fulfill the
promise"
The plaintiff had, In fact, alleged in
her pleadings an absolute promise, and
the proof of conditional promise was
what was called q fatal variance
which could not DE amended.--London

cheers went up from the immense
throng below. Another crowd of 20
600 witnessed the dislocation Of the
succession of the hour from favorable
positions at the Tivoli summer gar
dens. The watchmakers were trying
their best to keep up with the pace
set by the courthouse clock.
