The stipendiary magistrate for the bor ough of Brighton one Mr. Range, a limb of the Jaw much respected and looked up to by his brothers on the bench, who had not received his legal. In person he was tall and thin, and of grave and solemn aspect ; and demeanor. Before this imposing individual all that remained of Epaminondas (and that 'lit tle much in want of a good brushing) was brought on this eventful morning.

An imposing array of constables and poliCemen were also present, and sev eral of Epaminondas' comrades had also arrived, in order to support him by their I countenance and sympathy in his trying situation. As Epaminondas stood in the dock, and realized the position in which he was placed, lie stifled a rising tear, by pretend ing to blow his nose, and then screwing his courage to the sticking post desperate ly determined to overcome outwardly the tremors which inwardly convulsed him, and to bear himself as a man and a sol dier. With this view, he assumed a calm and immovable expression of countenance, and fixed a firm and unblenching eye upon the magistrate. So much so, that the latter, suddenly becoming aware 'of the steadfast gaze which was fixed upon him, started 'violently, apparently under the impression that some impertinence was intended, and hurriedly gave directions for the opening of the case. -Your worship," said Sergeant Bum bles, the inspector of police, “the prisoner at the bar is (1:1 rgrqi with the shouting of nne.Jos,Th Cork A, of Seven Dials, Maryle b,,ru."
