SCENES IN THE LIVERPOOL COUNTY  COURT.-WIDNESDAT.  RINCITIORROW V. CONOLLY.  The plaintiff in this action, Nicholas Ringborrow, aned Captain Samuel Conelly fur the sum of 2/. las , fur wages due to him as a seafaring apprentice. Mr. Wilford appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Orocott for the defendant. Mr. Wilfurd called the plaintiff, who proceeded to give the particulars of the case, when it appeared that, in order to prove the apprenticeship to the defendant, it was necessary to produce the indenture. Mr. Orocott did not produce the instrument, and bad commenced irregularly examining the defendaut before the plaintiff's case had closed. The judge complained of this as having been done with the intention of misleading him' and proceeded to say, that it was such proceedings as this that had morally murdered the late judge, and driven him out of existence. He could not bear such treatment. A judge of a County Court, it appeared, was expected to be something like an angelic being omniprescient, omniscient, or, perhaps, possessed of the attributes of Deity. " They have never," said he, , let me alone a moment since I came here. They have tormented me day and night ; they have almost morally murdered me; I cannot live under this sort of treatment ; they will torment me till I am dead, and I don't know whether they will let me alone when I am in my grave." Mr. Wilford—l hope not, your Honour. (Loud laughter followed this malapropos remark.) The Judge—They have been plaearding the walls of the town this very day, publishing placards of a very disgraceful description. It is disgraceful to those who have done so, and to those who continue the system; and I will be bound to say that there is not another town in England where such a thing would be done. Here I have been sitting, like an angel of life, from January to December, going through the journey of like as smoothly as I could. I must surely be supposed to be possessed of angelic qualities belonging to another state of existence, or I should not have been insulted as I have been. I am glad to say that it is not by the respectable portion of the people that I have been se treated, and I trust I shall have the respect of the respectable portion of the peope. There are a number of parties who have come to this court of justice who know that the judge has been insulted in this court of justice. here I am the minister of the law, the representative of her Majesty, sitting under her arms, and 1 ought to be administering justice with tolerable comfort. I trust that the respectable inhabitants of this town will rally round me and carry me triumphantly over the backsliders who have opposed me. If this is not to be so. ' I know lam to be ruined and murdered. I say it is moral murder fur a man to be attacked as I have been. I say it is a moral murder. But I trust in being able to carry with I me the good opinion of those persons who are in everyway ' able to judge ; and I know that they are of opinion that I hate been unceasingly slandered, abused, and calumniated, for the sole purpose of bringing me into disrepute anti disgrace. It is most lamentable to me to see the same sort of conspiracy going on that must end in destroying me as it did the last judge. It is destroying me, by destroying my health, as it has destroyed my comfort since I came to the towu. It must render me unable to live, if it is continued. At this moment I have not a sixpence in my pocket for doing the work of this court for the last twenty-two months. lam a couple of thousands of pounds besides this out of pocket, owing to the expense to which I have been put in defending myself against the assaults of parties who are as heartless and base as their  insinuations'have been as false as were ever made against human being. llt,Pirriat
