TRIED, BUT FAILED.
There is a Judge who presides over the Police Court who always endeavours' to smooth over any little difference between persons brought before him. The other day the charge was for a technical assault, and.it came out in the course of. the evidence that the parties were neighbours and had been on,the best of termssfor some yeara. ' ■
"It is a great pity," said the Judge, "that old friends, as you seem to have been, should appear before me in such ft way. ■. Surely this is a case which might be settled out of Court?" ■
"I'm afraid it can't be done, your Honour," answered the plaintiff, moodily. "I thought of that myself, but the cur won't fight."
