THE A.D.C's EFFORT.

Nut having soon "Saint Joan", but only read it, it is possible only to give an idea of how the play presents itself to the imagination: But there are those who have? seen it and who speak glowingly of it and of the contral character.

Tho writ was badly muddied. but ho thought that if it were amended, the case an it stood was certainly a case for a jury. Supposing he docided that there was no case to answor on the prosent writ, plaintiff could issue anathor.

Mr. Watson: I don't mind that.
