The following conversation be- tween a boy of about eight years and is much perturbed mother was heard in the Bow County Court:-
Boy: Look at that man, mum- mie; what funny hair he has.
Mother: Be quiet; that is the man's wig.
Boy: Is he bald, then, mummle? Mother: No, he is a lawyer.and has to wear it. Now be quiet.
Boy: Daddy is bald, but I have never seen one on him.
The blushing mother took the boy by the hand and hurried him from the court, which, however, ho left reluctantly. He stared at the barristers' wigs with a puzzled air, and oven took a last look round the door as he went out.
