That wreathes aj-crown above her,
There is such sweet congruity
That, how could I but love her.

The attorney had a very ignorant wit-

that class, he insisted on telling his story
over and over again. At last the attor-

again. I have heard it in toto several

A Squabble in Court.
Attorney Stiles Judson, Jr., forcibly
wrenched papers from the hands of
Judge William B. Glover, and the two
lawyers nearly came to blows, during
the hearing on the Etta May oyster
stealing case before Justice Howard N.
Wakeman,at Fairfield yesterday.
The dispute arose over the legality of
the complaint,and it was because Judge
Glover proposed to make certain alter-
ations that Attorney Judson wrenched
the papers away from him.’ J udge
Glover did not give up the papers with-
out a struggle, and the documents were
somewhat torn when the attorney for
the complainants got them away. from ,
h1m.
The cases against Captain Daniel
Sprague, George Newbauer and Wm.
Seltenridge, the crew of the Etta May,
were set down for a hearing and the
accused parties with their counsel,
George P. Carroll, were on hand, as
were also Marshall E. Morris and Hen-
ry J. Lewis, two of the complainants,
and their attOrney Mr. Judson.
Judge Glover announced that he rep-
resented Shafi‘er & Mott. complainants,
and also Grand Juror Bulkley who
drew the complaint. He proposed to
nolle all the counts ‘where any refer-
ence was made'to dredging on Shaffer
and Mott’s grouifil, .aan’he proceeded
to erase thDSGCOUDIS. .
Attorney Judson - protested on the
ground that he had received no notice,
and when J udge Glover continued his
work of erasure the big attorney from
Strattord forcibly took the papers away
from him. It was finally agreed that
the papers should stand as they were
first made out and when the evidence is
finished, if Mr. Glover desires to be
heard, he is to have that privilege. The
case has been set down for trial a week
I om this coming Saturday.
