CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. "I remember," writes Lord Eldon, "in one case where I was counsel, (or a long time the evidence did not ippear to touch the prisoner at all, and he looked about him with the nost perfect unconcern, seeming to think himself quite safe. At last the surgeon was called, who stated that the deceased had been killed by a shot, a gunshot in the head ; and he produced the matter, hair, and stui! :ut from and taken out of the wound.. It was all hardened with blood. A basin of warm water was brought into court, and as the blood was gradually softened a piece of printed paper appeared—the wadding of the gun—which proved to be the half of a ballad. The other half had been found in the man's pocket when he was taken. He was hanged."
Teacher "A man bought a neck oi mutton for one and twopence, and a pound of tomatoes for threepence, some potatoes for twopence halfpenny, and some onions for one penny. Now can any little boy tell mt what that makes ?" Tomasy: -"Soup, please, teacher."
