BROWN, JONES OR ROBINSON!

A certain barrister had a pecu- liar trick of mixing the names of the parties, a particularly irritat- ing trick--many lawyers have it, to their sorrow.

In the case of "Brown v. Jones" he was engaged in an erudite law

argument. For a long time the Judge heard him with patience

"I beg your pardon, Sir" he said at last. "So long as you persis

tently and consistently alluded to the plaintiff Brown as the defen- dant Jones and to the defendant Jones as the plaint Brown, the

Court could contrive to follow your argument. But when you intra- duce a third party by the name of Robinson without explaining whe ther you intend him to represent the plaintif Brown or the delen

This mystery. which it had been thought was solved, has been made mere .con- fusing than ever by a stantial story by a German naval circum-

SPEAKER THANKED In thanking Sir William Shenton his Interesting discourse, Rotarlari C. Champkin said that it was a peculiar thing that when placed before a court he felt more at home as a juror than as a wit- ness. The speaker related several instances in which he was concern- ea in one way or the other. He related that in a case in Calcutta when he was foreman of a jury called to try a case in which sever- al Indians were charged with mur- der when the culprits after drown- ing the occupaults of a boat and decamping with the goods were I tried.

After the judge had sum- med up the jury retired and when the jury was in deliberation he asked one of the men (an Indian) what his verdict was and he re- celved the following priswer" We find thèm guilty of obtaining goods by false pretences.". (Laughter.)

In another case a Constable was giving evidence in the court in a manslaughter case. Asked to des- crite the condition of the defen dant as to his atate at the time the constable said "He was as drunk ON a judge." The judge looked at him very severely and then asked "Do you mean he was as drunk as the law?" Pondering over for a while the constable ac- quiesced. (Laughter.)

RAPID PROMOTION

A few weeks after this the same

constable was on night beat and it was a cold night. He walked up to his house and threw a gravel of sand at his wife's window. She looked out and he asked for his overcoat. The coat was duly threw out to him and the constable put it on feeling the better for this warmth. After walking 4 block down the road he was suddenly

aware that he was wearing different coat and said to himself "By: Golly, they have made me a Sergeant already." (Laughter pro- Longed).

Rotarian Champkin concluded by once more thanking Sir William Shenton for a very delightful and whimsical talk.
