At n lawyers’ dinner in Buffalo one of the best stories told was of Squire Murray, who weighed .‘500 pounds tin ! who was bo n i.i Ireland, was in the whisky business here and licit! his court on the Terrace. The courtroom was like a coi; :;ooin in Ireland. 'Hie bench was five feet from the floor. with a chair whose linck reached to the celling. The trimmings of the room were all green. Mr. l/ockwood ami Judge Beckwith were trying out a case before the squire. There was no Jury. At the close the squire paused. "Do you wish to sum up?” ho asked. "I leave it all with your lionor,” said Mr. Lockwood, who advises young law yers with a ticklish cause and friendly face on the bench <0 do likewise. “I’ll sum up.” said Judge Beckwith. “Very well.” replied Squire Murray, in “While you’re at it i’ll slip down Murray Bros.’ and have a drink with Lockwood. But I’ll he back before you finish.” The squire and Mr. Lockwood went out. Tho squire was in- search of th* spirit of tiie law at i!k* root of (lie law. Mr. Lockwood thinks they had a drink. On the stairs, half way hack to the courtroom, with the echo of Beckwith’s voice sounding in ‘.heir ears, the squire stopped. “Lockwood," said he, "you’ve won votir case.” Mptlmdlrnl Pnnctnation, Speaking of W.
