It was not surprising therefore, says the traits Timis, of gih inst., that when the Judge, yesterday afternoon, permitted the par 'tias in a case to have recourse to. this method of swearing, there was quite a flutter of excite. ment among the officials and public.

The matter in dispute was a suit by a well-

Twą cockerels, whose original colour may Have been white but was now a drab gray, floundered on the ground with their legs tied and beside them lay joss-sticks and little candies and a murderous looking chopper. The interpreter having gone through the preli- misaries, one of the Chinasian fixed the Jour-sticks in the ground and set them afire, Then in

The executioner came down with a mighty whack upon the
