Nevertheless, there are numerous examples in which the proceedings of country justices would be the better for more knowledge of the law. Lawyers relate queer instances of their proceedings, some of which are thus described by The Youth's Companion : In Franklin county, Pennsyl vania, not long ago, a Cierman justice of the peace is said to have presided in a case brought by hiniRelf for a divorce from his wire. Aiier testifying in me case himself, and hearing all the evi dence of other witnesses, ho threw the case out of court on the ground of insufficiency of evi dence! His rigorous sense of justice and self abnegation are likely to rank in history above those of the Roman judge who condemned his own son to death. When this story was told lately by a Pennsylvania lawyer, another matched it with an account of a country judge up in the mountains, who was presiding in an jmpoitant, hor*e stealing case. Although it was properly a jury ca?e, the lawyers on both sides agreed to dispense with the jury, requesting the judge to'"act as jury " The judge took the request literally, and also felt that I hero should be, to satisfy the law, nominally a .jury. Alter mounting the lion eh and considering a hum time, t lie judge left the bench, entered the jury box and had himself sworn by the clerk. He heard the evidence there, but when an objection was made on a law point he lelt the box, mounted the bench and passed on it as judge, returning to the jury-box when the testimony was resumed. Alter the evidence was all in, he wrote out his instructions as judge; and handing the document to one of the attorneys, requested him to read it to the jury. After listening in the box to (he in structions, he had himself con ducted from the room by the sheriff and locked in the jury room to consider the case and prepare a verdict. "HoW long did he stay out ?" asked one of the lawyers to whom the story was being told. "Six hours."
