IN THE ASSIZE COURT.
Mr. Horace Avory, K.C., has a quick and stinging repartee. A hardened criminal at the Old Bailey once listened to a very uncomplimentary description of Mr. Avory, of his character and past record. With a simulation of being hurt, he interrupted at last : '"You will be accusing me of murder next !" The counsel stopped in his recapitulation and turned over a few papers. Then, in his cold, mat-ter-of-fact manner, he asked : "To which murder do you refer ? I have here particulars of three in which it is said you have been concerned." That prisoner was silent for the rest of the hearing.
