PHONOGRAPH IN COURT.
The phonograph as a witness in tho law courts was bound to come sooner or later, and it did so the other day in Brussels. A lawyer of that city had been continually annoyed by the noises of hammering, and so, forth, at an iron foundry in liis neighborhood. Finding that complaints were unavailing, he Drought the matter into court. But before doing so he placed a phonograph in his library for one whole day. When tho case came before tho Fourth Chamber he produced tho phonograph and sot going tho speciallyprepared cylinder. An uproar and din as from the forgo of Vulcan was the result, and tho ingenious lawyer won his case “ hands down.”
