THE CORNER. A SQUINTING JURY. oOce.upon a time, or tip be a little more particular, riearly • half a centu ry ago, (for the editor of this paper well remembers the time, place, and scene, which. are . firmly fixed upon his boyish reeolleetions,) there dwelt in the town= of: , in old England, remarkable oddity, in the person of , an attorney at law, who although not fair ley look upon; (for he was in :'4l7iilVOlie•Of the homeliest specimens Of humanity ever beheld by mortal natiif,) was withal a person of mound judgment, great benevolence, v3ried ~learning, a poet, a painter, and a wit. of no mean order. It se happened that the aforesaid gentleman, G. G , Esq., was ap pointed high sheriff of the town of . He was a man of fortune, and had a kind heart, as many a poor prisoner could testify, who partook of ~the good cheer with which the pris. 'on ere were liberal ly supplied at Christ bias and other known . feStivals, from the private purse of the high sheriff. It was of course, the duty of the high sheriff to summon a grand and petit jury to attend at the quarter sessions, of which the recorder, may or and aldermen of the borough com posed the court. In the performance of his official duty in summoning the - petitlury, our sheriff indulged in some of the . strangest and drollest freaks that have probably ever been heard - =of in any other town or country. In ,the first.place he summoned for the -: October court a jury consisting of ',7tWelve of the fattest men he could find in the borough, and when they - came to the book to be sworn, it ap peared that only nine jurors could sit comfortably in the box! After a ;'great deal of sweating, squeezing and "scolding, the panel was literally juin ed into the box, and when seated they presented to the eye of the court, .the 'bankers and the audience, 'the tight . cst fit' of a jury that was ever seen in a courtroom. Literally they became Mich to the astonishment of the court and its. robed advocates, a 'packed ju• .ry''and no mistake. For the January term, our.facetious high sheriff (in consequence, it is said, of some hint from the recorder that there should be no more fat panels , Summoned to his court,) went into - the opposite extreme.—He summon -0111,0 Iva of the leanest and tallest men be could n ud in the borough ; and :when they / took their seats in the ;: box:, itappeared comparatively emp ty—Abere was indeed room for tWeive • Maio of the same sort and dimen 'eons. For the April term of the court, our lurnorous functionary summoned a jury consisting of twelve barbers ! Now it so happened that among the latter were the perriquiers who dress- Aild the recorders' and barrister's wigs, And,sOrne of the latter, arriving lac, at the bar had to appear that morn- Tiiim court with their wigs undress as to cut a very ridiculous ftg -Ure, amidst the smiles and half-sup. :pres.sed laughter of the bystanders. The high sheriff enjoyed the fun Amazingly, but looked as 'grave as a , :ludge,''while . he tried to keep silence the 'court room. 'Btit'the crowning joke of this wag .- sish.functionary occurred at the sum .. .Meiling of his fourth and last jury, at the summer session of ,Tuly. For that tirin of the coda, the high sheriff, not baying the fear of the recorder, the mayor., and. the aldermen, before his summoned a squintino. ''TwelVe as queer looking biped's ,as ever took their seats in a jury box a, jury .that was probably more looked at, and laughed at, than any of the'appointed twelve that ever were sworn to 'well and truly try and true 'deliverance-make between their sov ereign lord and king and the prisoner at the bar.' But the scene was so irresistibly droli that the learned recorder could : t, m ; . I?Oaintain his gravity. The may =O and aldermen followed suit.—The ..barristers laughed, while their wigs beettme_ bald, powderless ; nay, even the poor prisoners in the dock, who .were to be put on their trial, and some •of them' undergo transportation, ',':CsUld not refrain from joining the gen ! Crat cachination !—And when the learned recorder commanded the high • -sheriff to bring the court room to or der,. and. intimated, with a half-sup. pressed 'laugh, that the latter ought to be ashamed oFhimself for summon. ing such a jury, the drollery of this court scene was heightened consider ably by the quick, ready and sonorous response of the high sheriff, who look ing at the same time at the squinting Jury, exclaimed, 'All good and lawful . men, your honor .
