Forensic Rebuke.-A singular occur. renee took place few days since, in one of our courts of justice, admirably ilustra- tive of the genius of our country and of the independence of our bar. In the course of a trial, young and very talented lawyet Tn examining witness, asked a question which the judge considered improper and would not suffer to be put. In the pro- sress of the cause, the judge took occasion to ask the very question of tho witness which he had interdicted the counsel, whereupon that gentleman rose, and re. spectlnlly protested against the question being put, on the ground of his having been prevented doing so by the bench. Sir. said the judge, rather ausferely, shall put whatever question l think proper in my court.-Your court, Sir, replied the barris. ter, deny ii to be SO; il Is my clients court; 1t IS my court; 1t is the peoples court; and not yours. Itis unnecessary to add that the judge seeing the correctness of the remark, bowed with silent courtesy to the rebuke, and the cause proceeded.-K Y. Enq.
