Show QuerT? If a man is fined for wishing to turn a seat in a Court room, before the Court is opened, what would be a proper penalty for an Atior ney who would tell the same Judgv :hat assessed the fine, in a Court room, that he was "an old granny," and threaten to pitch him out of the rooui'.' to understand the case, Judge Haw.ey ome little time ago fined Mr. IT. 0. Spencer f for the offence named, in '.he Court room over Faust's -tables; ind Mr. Siskin, on Monday Ist, reated the same Judge in the shamfui manner referred to. Is there any law under which Mr. Baskin could be hoeld prisoner f r treason and rebellion igainst the United States for the offence ? It was a serious matter, see-ng see-ng that the digaity of the Ptepublic in the person of a Federal Jude was invaded; and it was done by an Anti .Mormon, too; that's the worst feature n the affair. We hold that Mr. Baskin should have the full penalty provided by law, and we would grieve to say of the Judge, as a gentleman remarked yesterday: "Tne. Judge ffas hot when he gave the decisi on igainst Baskin;. next, dav he was ho; ind cold by turns, and probably to morrow he will be wiliing that Baskin -hould forgive him. Positive, boil; comparative, boiler; superlative, ousted.'7 |
