The prerogative of trying domestic ani- mals was supposed to be founded on the ancient Mosaic law, and it is to be re marked, both in this (lass of cases and in those tried by the canon law, ad- vocates were assigned to defend the aid - male, and trial, sentence, and execu- tion were alike conducted with the ut• most formalities known to the law. The proceedings against will nnimals and insects in the ecclesiastical courts were weedingly complicated, and their legality was always disputed by a cer- tain section of canonists. It was held on The one hand, that the church had an in:terent authority to exercisA, auia- themMise excommunicate all mate and inanimate ben g , , even while the lower animals having been created before man, and being,tpus first heirs of the earth, and having also been pro- vided for in the ark, were entitled to be treated•with the greatest clemency con- sistent with junk\ Ori the otber hand, it was contended that, as the lower ani- mals were devoid of inteiligehoe, no such eocial pact as wonld confer atiTIMT: Iffio punish could ever have been made with them; that no penalty attached to Injuries committed unintentionally and in ignorance; and that, as the church did not undertake to baptize the ani- mals, she could have no authority to anathematize them. At Lavezurg, in 1457, a ttoW and her six young ones were indicted for buy- ing killed and partly eaten a child. A f ter a trial, eoreincted with all due Fol enmity, the sow was found entity and condemned to death, but the pigs were acquitted on eccocht Jf their youth, he evil example of their mother, and the absence of direct proof that they had actually been concerned in the eating te the child. In 1403 is sow killed and de- voured a child at Montan. Tite sow wRs condemned to be hanged, and the fol lowing is time bill of costs for the PON '8 Subsotence and executiom—\Expenees of the sow while in gaol, six sols; do. the executioner who came from Paris by order of onr 'nester the Bailli and the \procuretir dmi roi\ titty sole: do. for carriage of sow to execution, six Pols, do. for cord to bind and drag her, two nols eight ileniers; do. for ''cans (sic)\ two deniere.\ The object of providing gloves for the executioner was, no doubt, that hie . bands . should not be sullied by the destruction of the beast. The ordinary method of procedure against animals in an ecclesiastical court was a settled and well -recognized form. it was initiated by the inhabitants who had, been annoyed by certain ani• male. The court then appointed ex perts to survey and report upon the damage committed. The next Step was the appointment of an advocate to de- fend the anirmdt and show cause why they shonP1 not be summoned. This was followed by their citation three ?ev- entl times, and as they, of course did i l ea appear, judgment was given against lepreeentatives:of the incriminated spe- cies should be present in court to hear tee \monitoire\ pronounced. Thus in a trial against leeches at IAusanne.ip 1451, a number ot leeches were brought , into the court to receive their warning, which admonished them to leave the district within three days. The leeches did.not leave, and the exorcism waw cour. sequently pronounced. In this case it is said to have been so successful that the leeches•began teak} off immediately.' One of the most celebrated lawsuits against animals was that in which Chas nerteuz, the Coke ot France, was the counsel for the \dirty animals in the form of ruts, of a greyish color, Ming In holes.\ ok the diocese of Autun, about the year 1510. He pleaded in the first instance for delay on the ground that the rata lied not been duly sum- moned. The priests of every parish in the diocese was then ordered to summon them fora future day. This was met by a demand fur a further extension of time on the ground that the rats had so many preparations to make. Avain the delay was granted-, and when the date then tixed arrived, Chasseneuz pleaded that his clients were entitled to a safe contlnet to the court null back to their homes, end that consequently the own- ers of time cats in time neighborhood ought to give , security for the harmless- ness of the feline race. This was, of course impoteible, anti the result was that the ease was adjourned \sine die.'' Tut tle-doves were excommunicated in Canada in time seventeenth century, and termites in Brazil and Pere in the eighteenth. Enough, however, ilaa prob- ably been said. The eccentricities medieval judicial procedure are nume:- out', but ihi is perhaps, one of the great- est, and one can only conclude that our ancestors must have had an abundance of time to waste, if they were willing to tweed it on ouch absurditier.—The Green Bag. HIS MASCOT. A story is going the rounds about Wil- liam C. Whitney and one of his negro hoetlere. Mr. 1Viiitney had noticed that everytime lie visited Ida stable this man matched every move that lie made, and upon one pretext or another, managed to keep near to him from the moment lie xutered the stable till he left it. The financier was greatly puzzled by the con- dact of the negro, amid one Jay called him lipid,. \Peter he said, \why do you follow me around amid watch me co closely every time I enter the stable? You must have some good reason for your ac- tions. What is it?\ \Has I getter 'splain ash?\ \Certainly.\ \I's powerful afraid dat it'll spoil the charm, salt,\ \Spoil what charm? What do you mean?\ \Well Bah, it's die yere way. Ey'ry tnawnin' I bOka up tie entries fo' de day's races. Den I names thin g s in the stable fo' tie bosses, see.
