TALES BY AN EX-LORD CHANCELLOR.
MURDER AS A TRADE. COUNSEL'S BOO TO A JUDGE'S "BAH: "
Good stories crowd the pages of "The Years of my Pilgrimage," by Sir John Ross, last Lord Chancellor of Ireland (Edward Arnold, 198. net); which is just : mallished.
"
Here is our of Lord Beresford; then Lar Chartes Beresford, who had aa unele whe was Primate of Ireland, and was known from his charming appear- ance as The Beauty of Holiness :-
His nephew's Lords Charles and Marcus Beresford, unce, when arriving! on a visit, gavi à generous fare to their carman. Thinking to extract more, he poured forth a torrent of abuse, in which he did not spare their host that ould devil of an archbishop.
Yers well said Lord Charles, Ill tell him, and he'll come out and kreck. your blasted old head cff."
FLYING JEHC.
Entering the palace, be found a white surplice harging in the hall, which he quickly put on, and rushed out upon The encounter was short the carman. and sharp. Jeau. leaving his chariot. led up the street pursued by a furious rebed, ecclesiastic, who was using awful, language.
Years ago Sir John Ross' was na Ulster M.P.. and be tells many stories of Parliament. Sir Richard Temple-known as Taj had, he says, an embarras sing habit of thinking aloud: a young and earnest member was speaking
These are the beliefs I came here to support, else why did I come here!
Sir Richard: To make a damned; nss of yourself. Shut up, you young fool, and sit down'."
Here is one of many stories of life in the courts.
Mr Justice Fitzgerald. afterwards Lord Fitzgerald, had a superb judicial wanner. Once, at Assizes, in a riot case, in which he had delivered a charge of the clearest character, the jury kept delibe rating in their room for a very long time.
Now nobody" is allowed to communi- cate with a jury under such circum- stances, except the sheriff or the sub- sheriff. When there is great delay they are allowed by the judge to ask them one question, and one only, namely, if an early agreement is probable. When the patience of this most patient judge and been existed he directed the with sheriff to me the usual inquiry.
"TWELVE GANDERS,"
ון
Unfortunately, the officia! forgot to Shut the doors leading to the jury room, and the following was heard in ecurt:
The sub-sheriff: What the blazes do! your mean? Don't you know the judge and all of us want to get our dinner! Come out at once and agree; don't be sitting up there like twelve ganders!"
"A shrill voice was then heard: 'But what are we to do. Mr. Sheriff? What to breach of the about the point as
pence 1
The sub-sheriff: 'Breach of the peace! to the devil! Can you not understand that his lordship wants you to find the four big men to the right guilty of riot, and to find the wee tailor to the left guilty of common assault?'
"The sub-sheriff then came out, and after a profound reverence to the écurt, said: The jury have requested me res pectfully to intimate to your lordship that there is a probability of an immed- iate, agreement.
The jury promptly appeared and gave the verdict suggested.
Here is a story of a Recorder and a barrister. The barrister, although told that the court would no longer hear him, recapitulated his three points.
Here the Recorder, in uncontrollable fury, broke out: 'bly answer to your first point is Bah! My answer to your second point is Bah! And my answer to your third point is Bab
"MURDER "FREX:",
"The Treasury counsel, undismayed, responded: My respectful reply to your lordship's answer is also monosyllabic; it is the word "Boo!"
Sir John, tells the story of the trial of a man who was reputed to have mur dered more than thirty people. He was a professional murderer.
Long before the reign of terror in Ireland, says Sir John Ross, I have kuen professional murderers. For a fee of £5 they were ready to make an end of the person indicated.
This particular murderer had been tried, but the jury disagreed, and he was tried again Sergeant Hemphill made a powerful speech against him.
On its conclusion, says Sir John Ross, the murderer seemed inclined to ap- plaud. Turning to the warder he said: That is splendid speech. I never heard the ould sergeant so good; that bit about the innocent blood calling from the earth was the best of all."
The jury disagreed three times, and the man was released and went to Ame-
