to the bar, that they would not call him "Jemmy "in court. He was, it may be easily supposed, extremely averse from the least shadow of affectation; of which some amusing instances are told. The following may pass for a specimen: A man was tried before him for stealing a pair of breeches. The prosecution was conducted by a young barrister, who, seeing a female witness in the box, and the court crowded with ladies, thought proper to speak of the stolen garment as inexpressibles. "Inexpressibles!" said the judge, "inexpressibles-I don't find any mention of such a thing in the indictment." "Why no, my lord," simpered the counsellor; "I thought my lord, it might be as well"-(and here he winked and nodded, in the vain endeavor to inspire the judge with the same regard for propriety); "the indictment mentions breeches." " "Then why couldn't you say breeches at once? Here, Mr. Undersheriff, please to hand them up to the lady. Now, ma'am, are you ready to swear that those are your husband's breeches?" His mode of illustration was also remarkably quaint. We once heard him begin an address to a jury in this manner : "Gentlemen, you have been told that the first is a consequential issue; now, perhaps, you don't know what a consequential issue means; but I dare say you understand ninepins. Well, then, if you deliver your bowl so as to strike the front pin in a particular direction, down go the rest; just so is it with these counts; knock down the first and all the rest will go the ground; that's what we call a consequential issue." Mr. Justice Burrough was always rather popular with the bar; his chief fault being the remaining too long upon the bench; and as he is not likely to commit that fault again, we shall say nothing more about it. A facetious ExBaron of the Exchequer complains, that Mr. Justice Burrough's conduct was rather hard upon him; as he was induced to resign by the constant allusions of the press to the improper continuance of superannuated judges on the bench, which, though they now appear to have been aimed at his learned brother, he all along considered to have been intended for himself."
