An Awkwahd Mistakk.— A circumstance
of a novel and amusing nature occurred on Fri
tl.iy in the County Court, before Mr. Serjeant
Green, while trying an appeal from a decree ob
tained l*y a person named Margaret O’Brien tvs.
Keating a minor. Mr. Freeman was engaged on
(iit- part of O’Brien, the applicant, and having
handed his instructions in court, conceived
lie was employed lor t .e other parly, and accor
dingly showed that the defendant was a minor
and consequently n t liable to be decreed. His [
lordship agreed with the learned counsel, and the :
rule was about to he taken down, when lie was
informed by Mr. Darcy, the attorney lor O’Bri
en, that he had been “in the wrong box and
amidst the laughter of the court, in which his
lordship joined, ho very bravely commenced up
setting his own argument, and quoted several
cases in support of his new position. He had
however, dor.e the business too effectually in the
first instance, and his client was accordingly nou-
alter a very entertaining scene.—Lime

laisa Wit.—A genuine “son of the sod” came
into our office the other day, and asked the rates
of advertising foi a situation. The price we
told him, would be one dollar for three insertions,
and one dollar and seventy-five cents for six. “A
