One fob the Oxd Lady.—An old lady recently was brought as a witness before a bench of magistrates, and when asked to take off her bonnet obstinately refused to do bo, saying, " There's no law compelling a woman to take off her bonnet."—" Oh," imprudently replied one of the magistrates, " you know the law do you! Perhaps you would like to come up and sit here and teach us ?" " No, I thank you, sir," said the woman, tartly; "there's old women enough there now."
