“ NOW YOU BEGIN TO TALK.”
On a certain occasion the counsel took some exception to the ruling of the court on some point, and a dispute arose. ‘ If the court please,’ said the cnunsel, ‘ I wish to refer to this book a moment,’ and at the same time picked up a volume. ‘ There is no use referring to any book,’ exclaimed the court, angrily, ‘ I have decided the point.’ ‘ But, your honour,’ persisted the attorney. ‘ Now, I don’t want to hear anything on the subject,’ yelled the court. ‘ 1 tell you again 1 have decided the point.’ ‘ I know that,’ was the rejoinder. ‘ I am satisfied of that. But this is a volume of Blackstone, I am certain he differs from your honour, and I only want to show 3 r ou what a fool Blackstone was.’ ‘ Ah, indeed ! ’ exclaimed the court, smiling all over. ‘ Now you begin to talk.’
