In the Metropolis the prisoner in the first instance is brought before a magistrate, technically known as the 'beak, who, in addition to being a person of great acumen, is a stipendiary, and thus occupies a superior position to the ordinary 'J.P., who is one of the great unpaid. In the City of London is the Mansion House Justice-Room, presided over by the Lord Mayor or one of the Aldermen.
The magnificent challenge of war to the knife, was no more to him than the adjuration he had heard last year in the justice-room; and he no more expected these two lads to make any effectual opposition than he did to see them repeal the game-laws. The Viscount meanwhile rode off thoroughly roused to indignation.
They all sat together on one side of the justice-room. Opposite to them and close at the side of a door, stood my old acquaintance, Mr. Dark, with his big snuff-box, his jolly face, and his winking eye. He nodded to me, when I looked at him, as jauntily as if we were meeting at a party of pleasure.
The doctor followed the red road which wound between Sir Timothy's carefully enclosed plantations of young larch, passed the lodge gates, which were badly in need of repair, and entered the drive. The justice-room was a small apartment in the older portion of Barracombe House; the low windows were heavily latticed, and faced west.
Immediately afterwards, the Lord Mayor, on taking his seat in the justice-room, stated that "he was ready, with the assistance of the gentlemen of the deputation, to act in the way desired. . . . He could not himself take any part in the distribution.
Though, as to 'reputable' however, I won't put you out further. You are wanted at the justice-room at three o'clock this afternoon. And don't fail, please." "Wanted at the justice-room!" retorted Afy. "I! What for?" "And must not fail, as I say," repeated Mr. Ebenezer. "You saw Levison taken up your old flame " Afy stamped her foot in indignant interruption.
He now perfectly understood why the Freiherr had manifested so much alarm on seeing his brother. One day as V was sitting by himself in the justice-room amongst his law-papers, Hubert came in with a grave and more composed manner than usual, and said in a voice that bordered upon melancholy, "I will accept my brother's last proposals.
I want Ebenezer James in again," he whispered to an officer of the justice-room, as the witness retired. Ebenezer James reappeared and took Afy's place. "You informed their worships, just now, that you had met Thorn in London, some eighteen months subsequent to the murder," began Lawyer Ball, launching another of his shafts.
This charge was so serious that, as a matter of course, there was a magisterial inquiry, which was repeated as soon as the constable was sufficiently well to limp into the justice-room in the little town where he had been removed as soon as the doctor gave permission, the neighbourhood of the Toft and Hickathrift having grown uncomfortably warm.
Mind, I don't set up my worship as an example. I don't say to all young folks, "Go and marry upon twopence a year;" or people would look very black at me at our vestry-meetings; but my wife is known to be a desperate match-maker; and when Hodge and Susan appear in my justice-room with a talk of allowance, we urge them to spend their half-crown a week at home, add a little contribution of our own, and send for the vicar.
