When the celebrated Sergeant Hill con ducted a defense at the bar of the house of lords, he prgpounded a question to a wit ness which the counsel on the other side objected to. After much had bcen said on either side, the law lords themselves disagreed, and the bar and all strangers were orderud to withdraw. After an ab sence of two hours they were readmitted, and the lord chancellor Informed Mr. klill that the house decided the question night be put. "IPlease you, my lords," said th e sergeant, "it, is so long since I asked ti question that I forgot what it was,but sWith your lordships's permission I will put an otherI" A witness was lately called on a trial at the Old Bailey to prove an alibi. He s->l emnily swore that the prisoner on the wght, and at the hour in question (11:25 o'clock P. m.), was at home and In bed at a distant part of the parish. Nothing could shake his testimony, for ho said he had looked at the clcck just as the prisonei went up-stairs and had set the clock right with the church clo(k himself the same day, and it cer tainly 11:25 o'clock P M., etc "Pray what do you make the time now?" blandly asked the counsel who cross-exatnincd, pointing to a great white dial over the dock. No answer was given. "Don't be con fused-take your time. I ask you agai.n -what is the time by that clock now?" The question was repeated several times and the witness was eventually bound to confess that he could not tell the time at all, 8ingularly enough the clock in the court was standing at 11:25 o'clock when he made this avowal. We remember a country witness being called at the assizes to prove that at a particular hour on a certain night the moon was shining and at the full. There hap pented to be no almanac in court, but the evidence seemed to be satisfactory, ror lie had obtained his information tr-im "a reg ular good Lndon ta' ioner's ali manac." 'he question was asked it, cross-exaiina tion, "How did you obtain this London stationer's alnanae? Did you buy it?" "Buy it! Nio; my fattier pasted it be hind my kitchen door nine years ago-the d'iy I was married." It need hardly be said that information as to the moon'as age during a day in the current year was 01 little value from an almanac nine years old. We may remark that all evidence of a "cirumniistantial"chnaracter is received with great caution, and no doubt rightly so, on a trial. Take, as an illustration of this, the evidence offered against a prisoner, of iootmnarks. Nothing is more commonly found than the impression of boote antt shoes near to a murdered body, or to pre mises which have been bro'<en into. A policeman is called as a witness on the tral, who deposes that, ho took the boota oil the prisouer upon his arrest, that he vompared thet wvlth the' footinarks near the place of the alleged crime, and that they corresponded H' every particular. "You compared them, I suppose~,"usually asks the judge, "by placing the boots in the impressions, and found that they cor respondedi" "Yes, ny lord." The ans wer is fatal to that bra ich of the evidence, for the plaomng of the boot in the impres -S!on found, very possibly caused the sini larity relied uipan; the prudent ollicer pla ces the prisoner's boot beside the footprint presses it into the earth,and then removing it, compares the inpression made with the one( discovered. We remember an amusing little circuim stance occurring during a protracted trial for felony in one of the midland counties a few years ago. A boy, entering the court and making his way to the jury box, handed to the oficer in attendance a note addressed to one of the jury, the ollicer handing it, as in duty bound to "his lord ship on the beach." The judae -first ask ing permfission--openedl and readl the comn nmication. After a solemn pause lie re marked; "I think, sIr, 1 had b~etter no: hiandi you this at present. You could not now comply with its suggestion, andi it might (istract your attention from the Very serious case we are trying."''The juirymnan bowed, andi the judge carefully placedI the letter between the pages of his nte~t-bj'ok. WVhen the case conc'-udetd, about 8 or i' o'clock at iiighit, saidl the judne, "There is your note, sir. I am afraid it, will give you little pleasure now." Tbclm juror open-. u'd and readt it, smded~t, bowed, and hastily left the box, leaving the note behina ',which weut e wore guilty of no great in tsrtoinreading.
