"AFTER DINNER” TRIALS.
Quick “Juatica" Under the Qld Crimi
nal Code In England.
In these days of criminal trials
long drayn out it may not be unin
teresting to glance back at q time
when, in JSngland at least, corn
plaint ran in the opposite direction.
Such were the earlier years of i
Queen Victoria, when the old crimi- !
nal code still survived in much of I
its archaic barbarity and the pic- j
turesqueness of legal procedure in
adequately compensated for its cru
elty, says London Tit-Bits.
’ The late- Lord Brampton, better
known as Sir Henry Hawkins, re
fers in his reminiscences to the
scandal of what he calls the “after
dinner” trials of that period. It
was then the custom for the court
to adjourn for dinner at 5 o’clock,
at which meal there was no lack
of conviviality^ so that when the
bench and bar returned to their du
ties they wei^ in no mood for pro
tracted toil.
In Lord Brampton’s own words, i
“judges and counsel were exhilarat
ed and business was proportionately
accelerated.” In confirmation of
this he notes that these “after din
ner” trials did not occupy on an
average more than four minutes
apiece and in illustration cites an
actual case, the paltry nature of
which, contrasted with the enormi
ty of the punishment involved,
throws a lurid light on the inhu
manity of the times.
The case was that of a pick
pocket, in which the prisoner had in
considerately pleaded “Not guilty,”
and therefore had a right to he
heard. We may quote Lord Bramp
ton’s account, beginning with the
examination of the witness for the
prosecution by the prosecuting
counsel:
“I think you were walking up
Ludgate hill on Thursday, the 25th,
about 2:30 in the afternoon and
suddenly felt a tug at your pocket
and missed your handkerchief,
which the constable now produces?”
“Yes, 6ir.”
“I suppose you have nothing to
ask him?” says the judge. “Next
witness.”
Constable stands up.
“Were you following the prose
cutor on the occasion when he was
robbed on Ludgate hill, and did you
see the prisoner put his hand into
the prosecutor’s pocket and take
this handkerchief out of it ?”
“Yes, sir.”
Judge (to prisoner)—Nothing to
say, I suppose ? Then to the jury:
“Gentlemen, I suppose you have no
doubt? I have none.”
. Jury—Guilty, my lord.
Judge (to prisoner)—Jones, we |
have met before; we shall not meet j
again for some time. Seven years’ j
transportation. Next case.
Time—Two minutes fifty-three j
seconds. As this seems to be a rec- i
ord it is only fair to add that the I
judge’s name was Muirhouse. )

Romance of a Necklace.
Some years ago an old French
woman died in a poor part of Dub
lin, and her little effects were put
up for auction. Among other odds
and ends was a necklace of dirty
looking green stones, which did not
attract much attention. However,
a shrewd pair of dealers thought
there might be “money in it” and
decided on purchasing, clubbing to
gether £5 for the purpose. On tak
ing it to a well known jeweler he
promptly offered £1,500, which sum
they refused and sold the necklace
of purest emeralds for £7,000 in
London, where Lord Rosebery on
his marriage purchased it for some
thing like £20,000. The old French
woman's mother had been attached
to the court of France, and the em
eralds had once formed part of the
crown jewels.—London Answers.
Magna Chart*.
It was a lucky chance that led to
the preservation of the Magna
Charta from destruction. The story
runs that Sir Robert Cotton had
one day entered his tailor's shop
precisely at the moment when the
tailor was about to cut up for pat
terns an ancient looking document
whereto were attached many large
and imposing seals. Sir Robert ar
rested the hand of the tailor, even
though he did not immediately
recognize the value of the docu
ment, which he purchased for a few
cents. Today the priceless manu
script is in a glass case at the Brit
ish museum, most carefully guard
ed.—Boston Post.
