prises.0Judge Marr of the New Orleans Criminal District Court, is an able t ! jurist, but if published accounts of B • what transpired in his court the other day are correct he is lacking in the qualities of self respect and } | firmness to such an extent as to in-i capacitate him for a proper die j charge of judicial duties. The facts j j of the case seem to be : Judge Evans walked out of the District Attorney’s office to the bar of the court aDd said: “By--1 will have this thing outnow; we will have no more--nonsense.” He then called Judge Marr an old fogy, who had no right to be on the bench, and used other insulting language. Judge Marr seemed dumbfounded, and every one sympathized with him.It is true that two days later he called Evans to the bar and after hearing his apologies fined him the paltry sum of $25. When a drunken lawyers, can come into court with the bullying swagger of police court shyster, aud insult the judge in the most approved style of fonl billings gate and escape instant and condign | punishment, it is about time for the j presiding judge to have a curator ^appointed.
