Next day, Harry was in my lord's justice-room: the next day he was out ever so long with my lord on the farm and coming home, what does my lord do, but look in on a sick tenant? I think Lady Maria was out on that day, too; she had been reading good books to that poor dear Goody Jenkins, though I don't suppose Madame Bernstein ever thought of asking about her niece.
It was only a Petty Sessions case, heard in the justice-room at Mycening, and on the way the prisoner was chiefly occupied in assuring the witness that there was nothing to be nervous about; and the squire, that it would hurt nobody but himself; and, for his part, fine him as they would, he would willingly pay twenty times as much to rid the place of Bullock.
A wrangle between two women neighbours who accuse each other of assault, and scream and chatter their loudest, comes next. Before they decide it, the Bench retire, and are absent a long time. By degrees a buzz arises, till the justice-room is as noisy as a market.
"I shall fail giving evidence, if you mean that. They don't get me up to their justice-room, neither by force or stratagem." Ebenezer James stood and looked after her as she tore along. "What a spirit that Afy has got, when it's put up!" quoth he. "She'll be doing as she said make off unless she's stopped. She's a great simpleton!
These arrangements perfected, they drove to the justice-room with all speed, followed by the notary and his two friends in another coach.

He had been, and still was, a county magistrate; but he had never been very successful in the justice-room, and now seldom troubled the county with his judicial incompetence.
We had a pleasant walk, although the weather was rather hot, and in the course of about an hour arrived at Leighton Park. Sir Reginald, who was at home, desired that we should at once be admitted to his study, or rather justice-room, in which he performed his magisterial duties.
If the inspector came again to-morrow, after she had received the letter she longed for to assure her of her brother's safety, she would brave shame, and stand in her bitter penance she, the lofty Margaret acknowledging before a crowded justice-room, if need were, that she had been as 'a dog, and done this thing. But if he came before she heard from Frederick; if he returned, as he had half threatened, in a few hours, why! she would tell that lie again; though how the words would come out, after all this terrible pause for reflection and self-reproach, without betraying her falsehood, she did not know, she could not tell.
I want to know what you do to make those three worthies in that justice-room instruct themselves before they may go acting as magistrates and judges?" The imaginary Arnold replies that Lord Lumpington was at Eton, and Mr. Hittall at Charterhouse, and Mr. Bottles at Lycurgus House Academy, Peckham.
Herein fail not. Given under my hand and seal, this 29th day of January, in the year of Our Lord, 1883, at the Mansion House Justice-Room aforesaid. "HENRY E. KNIGHT, "Lord Mayor, London." The James Macdonald of this summons, who played the part of a common informer, turned out to be a police officer.
