In using the word peoplo, I do nob refer solely bo the working classes, for those who do earn their living have little time to spare in which to loaf ab courbs. Whilst there are always a dirty lot of unwashed indi viduals who attend Courb wibh more pnnc buality than justices, still when anything really filthy is to be heard, ibis surprising to see what a number of better-dreasod people appear on thab particular day. True, some of bhem look a little apologetic, bub still their culture does not take them away, no matter how distressed tho witnesses may seem. Our worthy magistrate seldom orders tho Court to be cleared, but he has a quiet way of asking all respectable men who have a feeling of respect for the modesty of females, to retire, which generally has a good effect. When tho word " respectablo" is used in thab way tho mosb unkompb loiberer appears to foel ib incumbent that he at least should nob remain, and so oub he goos, no doubb wibh bhe feeling bhab for once in his lifo he has done a virtuous action. I often think bhis shows thab a person has to sink very low in the social scale before the last spark of manhood is extinguished by vice.
