AN EXCITED SOLICITOR.
" I must say that your decision iB remarkably bad law," exclaimed an excited solicitor in the Wellington Magistrate's Court on Thursday, on hearing the ruling of the Magistrate on a certain point, and forthwith he proceeded to elaborate oh the question, speaking at times with considerable warmth. His Worship, says the. New Zealand, Times, who deolined to argue, pointed out thut-iu any .other part of the colony, if an expression of opinion were given by the Beach, counsel would at least defer to it, but the learned gentleman continued the discussion, finally saying that he could not look on Mr Kenny's reference to the point at issue as other than an attempt to baffle him. "I have never, during twenty-five years' experience on the Bench, been treated by counsel in such a manner as you have done," responded Mr Kenny ; " the only excuse is that you have lost your temper." The protesting gentleman immediately' subsided, and judgment went in favour of hie friend on the other side.
