Thi mayor alwaya makes the following speech to the judges on circuit: "My lords, we have to congratulate you upon having completed your labors In thia ancient town, and have also to Inform you that you travel heme to Carlisle, through border country, much and often infested by the Scots. We therefore present each ; of your lordships with a piece of money to buy therewith a dagger to defend your selves." Thin the mayor produces two ancient coins, a jacobua and a rarolua. The for tuer be presents to tae aeulor &nd the Ut ter to the Junior Judge. Apparently it Is Intended '.hat the senior Judge shall pur chase a dagger twice the size of that pur chased by the Junior judge. C E.
