A good case iu point is this : In a court not more than about five thousand miles away -from the city of Gotham a legal gentleman had gone through the various stages of bar plead ing, and had coaxed, threatened, and bul lied witnesses to . his heart's content, when it chanced that a very stupid fel low, an hostler was called ufJbn the stand. lie was, in fact, simplicity personified The counsel, it should be premised, had made a great fuss about the previous witness speaking so low that ho could not hear them. "Now, sir," said the learned counsel, "I hope we 6hall have no difficulty in making you speak vj)." CS uimscW spoke rddely loud.) "I hope not, Sir"!" shouted out the witness in such bellowing tones that they fairly shook the building. "How dare you speak' in ' that way ; Sir?" demanded the counsel. "leant Kpeak no louder ?" shouting louder than before, as if to attone for his fault in speaking too low ! "Have you been drinking this morn ing ?"i asked the lawyer, who had entire ly lostjthe command of his temper at the roars of laughter which burst forth from a crowded audience. "Yes, sir" said the witness,. frankly. uu n uuv ia jru uv-t,u ununiu Sir ? Look at the jury don't look at me, Sir, in that way ?" "Corfee, Sir' "Did you have any thing in your cof fee, Sir?" "Yes, sir." . "I thought so," said the counsel, with a tr lance at tne jury, "well, &ir, con tinued the "learned counsel," "you say you had something in your coffee. State, if you please, to the jury what that some thing was." "Sugar, S7r,"sanswered the witness, without the movement of a muscle. - There was another burst-of '-'furtive laughter" throughout the Tjourt-robm. "This man, is no fool, your Honor (addressing the Court), "but he is some thing worse. Now, witness, you must come to the point. Had you anything else in your coffee besides sugar ? "Yes, sir:' "Yes ? You -had?
