TAKING HIM DOWN.

A certain barrister named Jones who practised in Lord Brougham's time was in the habit of commencing the examination of a witness with these words : "Now. sir, I am going to put a question to you, and 1 don't care which way you answer it." Brougham, like many others, was growing tired of the monotonous formula, and one morning, meeting Jones near the Temple, he addressed him thus—"Now, Jones, I ,an going to put a question to you, and I don't care which way you answer it.
