From a Baltimore paper. A SUIT AT LAW. Chronicfeiof the Conrt H-wse It wr in the days .! Judg Porey in 18 the docket will shew thai t rt gr.t acquaint rd ilh that mad cap, Frank Taylor. He was a merry, brnken-dow n gentleman, who wore n bU'k silk handkerchief round hi neck and had n smattering of law whirk Kimedmfi made him verv elo

quent. One day Frank, in hioual way, IV 1 1 to abusing the Courts, and the Judges, and the Legislature. nd the whole pack of them in tuch a style that I was quite shocked to hear him. The more I retuked him the mre he railed, nnd at last he offered me a bet of the value of a coat, that he would tike that which I wore, from my hark, ly the help af the laze, and thnt I should never have any thing; to do with it again at long a I lived. Well, I did'ot upect matters were so had a all that, neither in fact, I did'nt think much about it, or I never should have made the bet, but I took him up, and we parted. The next day Frank goes to old Mr JGibson, and gels out a replevin foi tny coat, and comes along wiih the Sheriff, and takes it off my hack, and immediately put it on hit own, and looked a good deal betier fur the change. I go to Mr Gibson' office, to inquire how this was; and there I find myself very decently dock ad on a li-tof suits for March Term, 1818. Frank Taylor vs Simon Sobersides, No. 1700 and theie wni a bond given h Frank and one Mr Tom Straw, to restore me my coat if Frank could not show title to it upon trial in the Court House. 1 asked Mr. Gibson when this matter was likely to he settled, for 1 did'nt like the looks of it and he told me, very politely, that it would be for trial in March 1819 Frank wa always a desperate hard fellow on a coat and I began to run over in my mind what a pretty looking concern tins coat ofmme would he in March, 1819. However, I waited patiently for the time, and as soon as the court was opened, there was I, in person, and Mr. Gwynn, my at torney, to make a flash for my coat. There were only eighteen hundred cases on the docket lobe tried lhat term, and and mine had been promoted to No 1500 Well, after attending till June, with Mr. Ee ison, ti e Tnyl-ir who made it as a wit. nes, I found by that lime they had tried two hundred and fifty cae, when Judge D-'fsev and t1 e lawyers had to go off in the Court of Appeals; o the Court was oh liged to be adjoined, and I had to pay my witness s.mehre between t h i r I or forty dollars Mr. Gibon can teH--and 1 wa very politely told by Mr Gib. ion that I mut come again next Septem her S in September, I came again with my old friend Oenson. Mv case wa now on a more respecable fooling; it had grow n older and stood No Hl'O on the docket. The Court kepi very busily at work all that tail, and at he end of th month of January, they adjourned at the request of Mr Gibon, who t'dd them that the intervening lime between that nrxri l jfr K t.tviB mi! icncnco I.) u nAAoctrai !

I began to think thi noj 'ke . Gd know a hat had become of mv coat it wa better than two ear finre I had marie my ra?h tet. However, my pride wa inised, and won'd not mIov me lo gii'e it up; ao 1 pushed Mr Gwynn agaio with another fee to let him fee ! wa not daunted. Two hundred case more were got rid of that term, and lo make the to. ry short, it va in March. 1822, thai my 11 I ... I rt'l 1- i. vraa i linen, ivnrii .m r 1 hoinaa re the attorney lor Frank. tated that hi" unfortunate clienl had, a 6hort lime before that, died suddenly of an apoplexy, which .Mr. Kell called , I think . suggesting a death And I suppose Frank was buried in my coat. So I had to wait until the next term for a new party to he made. Mr Kell staged, moreover, that poor Frank had left no effect behind him, and died utterly insolvent and good for nothing, which was vry hard case I was afiaid to say any thing about the bet, lest Mr. Kell should aeize upon it as aet in my hands. As Frank's estate was therefore a matter of moonshine, that very worthy old servant of the Court, Mr. Michael Hedinger, was put in Frank1 shoes as his administrator, on ihe docket, and with great courtesy, in Fepternber, 1822. confessed judgment in my favor, Mr. Kell not being aware of any right that frank had to this property. After this I aked what was to do, and my friend rz..,.,., iK.. . I ... ... tn. ...o Mur into brown paper by this time, and that m v onlv coure was to sue Tom StrawsWell, Sir, said I Mr. Gwynn, any thing you please, in for a penny in for a pouud. So I paid off all expense of my replevin suit which I had gainedl think the amount, taking it altogether, was about 60 or 70 dollars, and I prepared myself for the pleasure of getting into my new suit at law Accordingly, in March term 182S. I started upon the world in the characlerof a plaintiff. Simon Sobersides vs Thomas Stt aw. This cae ha advanced with great vigor, considering that it is a contested case in which Straw whom 1 dont think much of has put in a great many pleas and also brought a cross action against me for the amount ol the bei, in the name of the administrator. These two cases stand like twins Upon the docket, and we expect to have Ihem tried at the same time. Mr Gion tells me now, that I may confidently calculate, opno terminating the cooiro

versy about the ceat sometime in the! present year, provider! there should be noj appeal. If there should be God help ! he says, he would not undertake to say f.r ihe next ten years. It has been an amazing fine suit, and has floor ished nnder a great many judge?. Under Doriey and Bland, and Ward, and Handton, and Archer, and has al last come into the times of Judge Kell. and who being well acquainted with the cae before, ha

determined that it shall be huished this year in spite of the . If any man doubts this history of my ease, let him go and ask Mr. Gibson. SIMON SOBERSIDES. January, 1828. JL. iL.
