Judge Gavegan, of the New - 1 ork Supreme Court, caused a sensation during the hearing of a matrimonial suit yesterday by his comments on fashions. There was a ladv in court gowned smartly in a walking costume. Her skirt cleared the floor bv two inches, and she was sitting with her legs crossed, and was showing grey dancing shotjs and grey silk - slot-kings. The judge stopped the proceedings of the court, and, addressing the lady, accused her of making an improper exposure of her limbs in a public place. “Y-mr. lower limbs are insuffiiientlj clad.” he said. The lady burst into tears, and frantically pulled down her dress.
