T X 7E have received a charming souvenir of the "* fourth annual banquet of the Allegheny County Bar Association. It comes in the form of a diminutive green bag, in which is enclosed the ////////provided on that interesting occasion. If the bag were only larger, we might find it of great assist ance in our editorial duties; but we doubt if we could fill it with anything half so " entertaining" as its present contents.

A Maryland correspondent propounds the fol lowing conundrum : — Editor of the " Green Bag " : The question may have been passed upon else where, and therefore not so new as your correspond ent may suppose. A dentist of our place sued a doctor for dental services, which included a charge for two gold fills. The doctor admitted one fill, but denied the other. Justice B was about rendering his decision according to the preponderance of testimony rejecting one of the fills, when the dentist, catching the mind of the justice and the drift of his decision, sprang to his feet, saying, " I demand, in verification of my tes timony, an inspection of the doctor's mouth. I believe this is my legal right." " I want to say to you, sir," said the doctor, reddening perceptibly, " that your demand will not be complied with. I regard your suggestion as a personal insult and outrage." The justice, deeming the question new and impor tant in its consequences to the cause pending before him, has reserved his decision, to enable the dentist to produce authority to sustain his claim of right to a thorough examination of the doctor's jaws. Respectfully, X.
