O Wise Young Judge!—Mr. Justice Hawkins has scored over and over again during the first act of the Zierenberg v. Labouchere trial. One witness in cross-examination said "he thought he could tell people who were overworked." So Mr. Justice Hawkins asked him, "Do you see anybody in this court who looks like being overworked?" Of course the witness looked straight at the Judge, but Sir Henry was ready with a very practical answer to his own question, as he instantly rose to the occasion and adjourned the case till next day, and from next day till next term.
At the T. R. H.—Mr. Tree substituted Ibsen for Wilde. Some evenings at the T. R. Haymarket may be pleasantly passed, i.e., "Wilde" away.
