TOOK THE HINT.
'AND CHANGED THE SUBJECT. In the course of a caso in the Supreme Court yesterday, in which "importance was being laid on a certain thing occurring ab a particular spot .on tho roadway, counsel had several times elicited from a witness tho fact that he saw the accident occur at such-and-such a spot, which' was apparently not cjiiito the exact location whiclrcounsel desired. The latter went'off once- again with a fresh battery of questions. It was time, however, for someone elso. to take ft hand, and this Mr. Justice Hosking did. •'Yes, Mr; —-," said His Honour, "that is whore the.witness saw it occur, but you want by.somo manner'or means to bring him over to tho other side, of the tramline."- A more than audible smile wont round, and learned counsel took the- hint, and got| away from, the subject. .'"
