I took the tongs from him and locked him in a room and left him there, and there I stood by the door over three-quarters of an hour, and they all oried shame. Then I unlocks it and says, " Sir, are* you better?" (Greri laughter). Mr Plowden — That was affcer you had jumped upon bim ?

I didn't do nothing of the kind. (Laughter). He hadn't the slightest mark, and I only put him down and took the tongs and poker from him.

Mr Plowden — Yes; he was a naughty boy, wasn't he? (Great laughter). And want do you want now?

To know that you're going to do with him.

Mr Plowden— You yourself have disarmed him and locked him up. No, I ain't. (Laughter). Mr Plowden— Well, you locked him in.

But he came out on his own very well again. What am Ito do with him ?

Mr Plowden -Just do as you did before, disarm him and look him in. (More laughter). But I can't.

Mr Plowden— But you have.

Applicant (indignantly and witb emphasis) — Then I'll have to use rough violence.

Mr Plowden — No, don't harm hi;

Applicant (vehemently)— Well, if you don't givo it him I'll do it, swop me bob. (Great laughter).

Mr Plowden— Do what ?

Why, give him rough violence. (Excitedly banging the witness-box). I will. You give me no authority, bui I will, I will by myself. By Jove I will, so take that.

And saying this tbe applicant stamped her foot and hurriedly left the Court.
