A COMMENDABLE EXAMPLE.

Mis Nicholson of New York boxed the •e?rs of Counsellor Eindskof; because the Jatter took advantage of her. helplessness as a witness to insult her. We derive to commend the action of, this lady: If there had been moi-e resentment, of the insults habitually visited upon witnesses by lawyers, and for some inscrutable roason permitted by t!>e Courts, there would be.a good deal more decency whereit ou«lit to be most looked for.- A cheap lawyer ge,tg 'half his reputation from talk and insinuation that would be permitted iv no place in this' world except in' a 'Court-room. He looks upon the unfortunate person for the.moment at his'mercy as a criminal whom it is, his duty, to torture—with no known reason except to torture—and remarks that would be deemed libe'lous in a newspaper or. on the street, seem'to be quite in accordance with the dignity of the bar and the justice of the Court-room. Mrs Nicholson has -set a good example.^ Buffalo Express. ,' ,'•'•
