in new districts where lawyers
of profound learning are not to
be had for magistrates, the country
justice of the peace, with
common sense and a sense of jus
tice, makes an acceptable sub
Rtitute. 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."
