a brilliant thought entered the magisterial- orani. Will the prisoner return the cat to the owner if he is discharged," asked his Wor ship, and the prisoner, too pleased to show bis amazement, declared that he would, notwith. standing that he would thereby lose, on his own statement, the six cents which he had paid for the cat. The decision may have been a wise one, I cannot dispute it, but it looks as Wood was more inclined to stow a little misplaced sympathy with the prisoner -than-to remember the claims of the prosecutor.
