IN THE CRITICAL COURT.


THE Critical Court being in session, WILLIAM
- DEAN HowEILs, II. W. BoYNTON, W. c..
BRowNEId., WILSON FoiLETT and WILLIAM MARION
REEpY sitting, the case of BOOTH TARKINGToN,
novelist, is called.
COUNSEL FOR THE PROSECUTION: If il please the
court, this should go over. The defendant Mr..
HARRINGTON, is not dead yet.
Mr.. HowETIs: / do not know how my colleagues
feel but have objection TO considering the work
of Mr.. HARRINGTON while he is alive.
Mr.. FoLLETT: | think it would be better if we
deferred the consideration Of Mr. HARRINGTON until
it is a little Older.

Mr. FoII.ETT: I mean his work, OF works Per

Mr.. HOLIDAY: They" not them" Excep-
ton. And "are; instead of is Gentlemen, /
have wish to prejudice the for my client, but
must point ont that if you wait until he is little
older he may be dead.
Mr. BoYNToN: So much the better We can then
consider his works in their complete state and with
reference to his entire life.
Mr.. HOLIDAY: But it would then be impossible
to give any assistance TO Mr.. TARKINGToN. The
chance to influence his work would have passed.
Mr.. BRowNuL: That is relatively unimportant.
Mr.. HOLIDAY: beg pardon but Mr.. TARKING-
TON feels it rather important to him.
Mr.. BOYNTON: My dear Mr.. HOLIDAY you
really must remember that it is not what seems i'm
portant to Mr.. TAIKINGToN that can count with us,
but what is important in our eyes.
Mr.. HOLIDAY: Self-importance.
Mr. BoyNToN (stffIy): Certainly not. Merely
self-confidence. But my own behalf I may say
this: am unwilling to consider Mr. TARKINGToN's
works in this place al this time; but | am willing to
pass Judgment OH an article for a newspaper or
monthly magazine some other purely perishable
medium. That should be sufficient for Mr.. TARK-
NGToN.
Mr. FoLLErr: l think the possibility of consider
ing Mr.. HARRINGTON must be ruled out, anyway, as
one or more Of his so-called works have first ap-
peared serially in the Saturday Erening Post.
Mr. HOLIDAY (noting the effect of this revelation
on the members of the court) Very we'll / will
