WHAT THE JUDGE SAW.

" la the coarse of a case at the Newington Sessions a constable produced two pieces of plain glass encased in metal frames, said to have been found in the possession of two prisoners. “What is it?” said Mr Wallace. One of the prisoners remarked, “ItVa novelty sold all over London. Ton breathe on it, sir, and yon’U see something. ’ ’ Mr Wallace at once did as suggested, but he could see nothing. “You’re breathing on the .wrong sida.V added the man. “Tuftn it over and breathe on the back.” The Judge adopted the suggestion. As be breathed on the glass bis lordship smiled and, with a sharp “Oh !” put the article on one side. Addressing the jury, Mr Wallace, K. 0., remarked, “You are supposed to see your face when yon breathe on the‘glass, but—it’s a very doubtful face.” It transpired afterwards that the face on the glass was that of a donkey.
