A Long Dinner Hour.

George the Fourth asked Dr. Gregory what was the longest sitting after dinner that he had ever heard of on credible authority. The Doctor answered: “The longest I know of was at the house of a learned Scotch judge, Lord iSewtori. A gentleman called at his house in York Place? Edinburgh, at a fate hour, and was informed that his lorcfthlp'was at dinner. Next day the same gentleman called at an early hour, and, being again informed that the judge Was at dinner, expressed surprise that the dinner of that day should be so much'earlier than the dinner of the day<before. ‘lt Is the very same dinner,’replied the- servant; ‘ his lordship has not yet risen from table. ’ ”
