It has been suggested bluntly that we ought to be dismissed after fifteen years' labour, and of course, if there were a pension but then we are no better off in that respect than county-court judges. Yet even the cleverest country cousin cannot suggest any useful employment for superannuated, middle-aged dramatic critics.
The case was heard by the Lord Chief and another judge, and they came to the conclusion that the jury's decision was right, that the county-court judge was wrong, and that Lloyd George was perfectly correct on the point of law in connection with which he had been overruled. Lloyd George was twenty-five when he secured this triumph.
Police-court cases county-court cases fires coroners' inquests street accidents they were all exciting enough, no doubt, to the people actively concerned in them, but you never got more than twenty or thirty lines out of their details. Thenceforth Triffitt ate, drank, smoked, and slept with the case; it was the only thing he ever thought of.
On this argument Arch Hawn was urging a resumption of the truce, but both clans were armed and watchful and everybody was looking for a general clash on the next county-court day. The boy soon rose restlessly. "Whar you goin'?" "I'm a-goin' to look atter my corn."
His training at West Point may have given him a knowledge of principles and his good sense enabled him to apply the principles in the terms that he dictated at Appomattox. General Grant's natural qualities were such that with training he might have succeeded in great causes involving principles, but he was not adapted to the ordinary business of a county-court lawyer.
The monthly sitting of the County Court in a country market town is an event of much interest in all the villages around, so many of the causes concerning agricultural people. 'County-Court Day' is looked upon as a date in the calendar by which to recollect when a thing happened, or to arrange for the future.
His education was so very defective, that his orthography was almost ludicrous, and his general reading amounted to almost nothing. At no time was he a respectable county-court lawyer, so far as legal learning was concerned, and it is wonderful how the natural vigor of his mind supplied this defect.
In a word, he was one day arraigned before a county-court in Kentucky, on a charge of horse-stealing, and matters went hard against him, his many offences in that line having steeled the hearts of all against him, and the proofs of guilt, in this particular instance, being both strong and manifold.
And as a direct result of Louis' irresponsible suggestion she had a vision of the house with county-court bailiffs lodged in the kitchen.... She had only to say "Yes, let's go," and they would be off on the absurd and wicked expedition. "I'd really rather not," she said, smiling, but serious. "All serene. But, anyhow, next week's Easter, and we shall have to go somewhere then, you know."
To Theodosia it was all vastly different from the picture she had projected of Colbury with an election in progress. In interest, movement, populousness, it did not compare with a county-court day, which her imagination had multiplied when she estimated the relative importance of the events.
