WANTED TO SEE PETER.
There was a sharp-ncsed, red-headed woman there who wanted to see if " a man by the name of Peter had been locked up." Bijah went up and down, the corrider crying : Peter ! Peter! pumpkin-eater, Had a wife and he did beat'er. " It's an infernal lie !" growled a voice in cell No. 2, and Bijah returned and replied that Peter was there, and apparantly in the best of health. " Then I want to see him." " For what ?" " Foruon of your business I" " But you can't." "Butl will!" T~« There was a,u appalling silence, during which both sat down. Then there was a breeze during which both, stood up." "I tell ye, I must see Peter !"-she exclaimed as she fanned herself rate of 154 revolutions per minute. ■ " State your reasons in an open hearted manner," replied the old man. " 1 want to tell him not to own up." " To what ?" " To hrowing me down stairs.'' Bijah took off his coat, tightened his suspenders, and began to deliver his opinion on the female sex, but before he was half way through His Honour came in and prepared to open court.
