Kennecott Copper Corp. v. United States
The motion to affirm is granted and the judgment is affirmed. Brown Shoe Co. v. United States, 370 U.S. 294, 82 S.Ct. 1502, 8 L.Ed.2d 510 and United States v. Aluminum Co. of America, 377 U.S. 271, 84 S.Ct. 1283, 12 L.Ed.2d 314.
Mr. Justice HARLAN and Mr. Justice GOLDBERG, dissenting.
We would note probable jurisdiction and set the case for argument. In so voting, we indicate no opinion on the merits. Under the Expediting Act, 32 Stat. 823, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 29 (1964 ed.), this is appellant's first and only appeal. So long as this statute remains on the books and Congress provides no intermediate review, see United States v. Singer Mfg. Co., 374 U.S. 174, 175, 83 S.Ct. 1773, 1774, 10 L.Ed.2d 823, it is our view that the policy of the Act is, in general, best served by plenary rather than summary dispositions of such appeals. Ibid. Of course, if the question presented by an appeal is plainly insubstantial or directly governed by a controlling decision of this Court, summary disposition would still be appropriate. Since we do not believe that this can be said of this case, we would give plenary consideration to this appeal.

Part V: Popular Rhymes, Proverbs, Similes, &c; Proverbs.
PROVERBS.
It is of no use laying sorrow to your heart when others only lay it to their heels.
Mouse-coloured dun is the foulest colour under the sun.
A Friday's flit will not long sit.
My butter-cake always leets [falls] th' butter-side down.
Two are company, three are none.
Too much of ought is good for nought.
All this for nothing, and more for a penny.
Long and lazy, little and loud,
Fair and foolish, dark and proud.
​One year's seeding makes seven years' weeding.
If you see a pin and let it lie,
You'll need a pin before you die.
You're a long time out of your money if you take me for a flat [foolish person].
I'm nod gooin to a fair to buy thee for a foo [fool]; if ah doo, ah shall wear [spend] my brass [money] badly.

Part V: Popular Rhymes, Proverbs, Similes, &c; Farmer's Rhymes and Proverbs.
PROVERBS.
He that would have his fold full Must keep an old tup and a young bull. He who will have a full flock Must have an old stagge [gander] and a young cock.
A cod's head is a cod's head still, Whether in a pewter or a silver dish.
Good-will, when getten, is as good as gowd [gold].
A creaking door hangs long o' th' hinges.
There 's a hill again a slack, all Craven through. (About equivalent to "every bean hath its black.")
"No, thank you," has lost many a good butter-cake.
He'll go through th' wood, and ta' th' crummock [crooked stick] at last.
Candlemas-day coom and goan, Th' snow lies on a whot stoan.
If you willn't when you may, When you will, I'll say you nay.
The third time throws best; or, pays for all.
Stroke with one hand and strike with the other.
​When ability faileth friendship decayeth.
He shall find my frowns lie buried with his follies, and my favours to be revived with his good fortunes.
'Bout's bare, but it's yeasy. Bout, Lancashire for without, i.e., he that is without money is bare, but it is easy [safe] travelling—he has no fear of robbery. John Byrom quotes this proverb in a letter after noticing an alarm about highwaymen, and adding—"This is a terror that poor folks know nothing on."

POPULAR RHYMES.
Them that buys beef buys bones; Them that buys land buys stones; Them that buys eggs buys shells; Them that buys ale buys nought else.
Many men has many minds, But women has but two; Everything is what they'd have, And nothing would they do.
New moon! new moon! I pray to thee: Tell me who my true love shall be; Whether he's dark, or whether fair; And what the colour of his hair.
In "ford" and "ham," in "ley" and "ton," Most old English surnames run.
# Lancashire Legends, Traditions, Pageants, Sports, &c./Part 5/Proud Preston—Christ's Croft

Part V: Popular Rhymes, Proverbs, Similes, &c; Proud Preston—Christ's Croft.
PROUD PRESTON.
Proud Preston, as the town has long been termed, was probably so called from its being the residence of genteel families in days of yore, before the introduction of the cotton trade; having been, as Dr Whitaker says, "the resort of well-born but ill-portioned and ill-endowed old maids and widows." The paschal lamb couchant, with the letters P.P. (for Princeps Pacis, Prince of Peace), form the armorial bearings of the town. Hence, perhaps, the old lines—
"Proud Preston, Poor people; High church, Low steeple."
The name in the first line yet adheres to the place. The prefix in the second is no longer strictly applicable. Nor is the last line now true; for in 1815, the tower of the church, which was then only about the height of the nave, was pulled down, and a new one of proportionate size erected. In 1853, the old church also disappeared, and the present beautiful structure was built on the same site.
CHRIST'S CROFT.
Roger de Poictou, for the services of his family to Duke William, in the Norman conquest of England, received all the lands between the Ribble and the Mersey, as a gift from the Conqueror. Lancashire does not appear in the Domesday survey as such, but these lands are described as "inter Ripa et Mersham." Subsequently the ​appellation "Christis Crofte" was given to this extensive portion of South Lancashire, and it is celebrated as a place of security in troublesome times, probably from its being comparatively wild and uninhabited—
"When all England is alofte, Safe are they that are in Christis Crofte;— And where should Christis Crofte be, But between the Ribble and Mersey."
# Lancashire Legends, Traditions, Pageants, Sports, &c./Part 4/Wife Selling

Part IV: Punishments—Legal and Popular; Wife Selling.
WIFE SELLING.
It is not uncommon for wives to be sold by their husbands. There is a wide-spread popular error that this is a legal transaction, when the wife is brought into the place of sale with a halter round her neck, and when the buyer obtains a written receipt for the money he has ventured upon her. Some years ago, a case of this kind occurred near Haslingden; and, on one occasion, it was urged in a county court that the real husband was not liable for his wife's debts, since he had sold her some time before for half-a-crown.

POPULAR RHYMES, PROVERBS, SAYINGS, AND SIMILES.
INTRODUCTION.
The popular rhymes, proverbs, similes, &c., of Lancashire are very numerous. Many of them date from prehistoric times, and have been handed down by tradition from generation to generation with little or no variation. Some of the more common of these have found resting-places in the works of Tim Bobbin, Waugh, Brierley, Staton, Wilson, Martindale, and others, and have thus become a portion of our Lancashire literature; the rest are still current in the undisturbed nooks and corners of our county. It would require a volume to include all the folk-rhymes and wise-sayings of the peasantry of Lancashire; and hence a few only of the more curious or important are here included.
# Lancashire Legends, Traditions, Pageants, Sports, &c./Part 5/Lancashire Riddles

Part V: Popular Rhymes, Proverbs, Similes, &c; Lancashire Riddles.
LANCASHIRE RIDDLES.
Red within, and red without; Four corners round about. Ans.—A brick.
All hair except the head;— Guess me right and go to bed. Ans.—A cow-tie.
Four stiff standers, Four dillydanders, Two hookers, two snookers, And a flip-flap. Ans.—A cow.
Clink, clank, under the bank; Ten against four; try once more. Ans.—A girl in pattens, milking.
Little Nanny Netticoat
Has a white petticoat;
The longer she stands
The shorter she grows;
Now cross both your hands,
And tell me who knows.
Ans.—A candle.
We have a horse
Without any head;
He is never alive,
And will never be dead.
Ans.—A clothes-horse.
As round as an apple,
As deep as a cup;
All the Queen's horses
Can't draw it up.
Ans.—A well.
A riddle, a riddle,
As I suppose;
Full of eyes,
But never a nose.
Ans.—A sieve.   Long legs, crooked thighs,
Little head, and no eyes.
Ans.—Tongs.   Humpty-dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty-dumpty got a great fall;
Threescore men, and threescore more,
Can't make Humpty as before.
Ans.—A broken egg.   Old Mother Twitchett has but one eye,
And a long tail which she makes fly;
And every time she goes over a gap,
She leaves a piece of her tail in a trap.
Ans.—Needle and thread.
Meal-porridge hot,
Meal-porridge cold,
Meal-porridge in a pot,
Nine days old.
Beef and bacon boiled in a hat;
In four letters spell me that.
Ans.—T-h-a-t
Higgledy-piggledy,
Here we lie;
Picked and plucked,
And put in a pie.
Ans.—Pigeons.
LANCASHIRE RHYMES.
Lancashire law—
No stakes, no draw.
This is often quoted by those who, having lost a wager, do not wish to pay, on the ground that no stakes had been deposited.
As foolish as monkeys
Till twenty or more;
As bold as lions
Till forty and four;
As cunning as foxes
Till threescore and ten,
They then become asses,
Or something—not men.
WEATHER RHYMES.
If red the sun begins his race, Expect that rain will fall apace.
The evening red, the morning gray, Are certain signs of one fair day.
If woolly fleeces spread the heavenly way, No rain, be sure, disturbs that summer's day.
In the waning of the moon, A cloudy morn—fair afternoon.
When clouds appear like rocks and towers, The earth's refreshed by frequent showers.
When Pendle wears its woolly cap, The farmers all may take a nap.
Owd Know [i.e. knoll, a hill between Rochdale and Rossendale] hes bin awsin [offering] to put hur durty cap on a time or two to-day; an as soon us hoo can shap to see it, ther'll be waytur amang us, yo'll see.
Of the Duddon and other streams in the north of Lancashire, a local expression states that, "Up with a shower, down in an hour."
# Letters of Junius/Letter X

LETTER X.
TO MR. EDWARD WESTON.
21. April, 1769.
SIR,
I SAID you were an old man without the benefit of experience. It seems you are also a volunteer with the stipend of twenty commissions; and, at a period when all prospects are at an end, you are still looking forward to rewards which you cannot enjoy. No man is better acquainted with the bounty of government than you are:
——ton impudence, Temeraire vieillard, aura sa recompense.
But I will not descend to an altercation, either with the impotence of your age, or the peevishness of your diseases. Your pamphlet, ingenious as it is, has been so little read, that the public cannot know how far you have a right to give me the lye, without the following citation of your own words:
Page 6.—"1. That he is persuaded, that the motives, which he (Mr Weston) has ​alleged, must appear fully sufficient, with or without the opinions of the surgeons.
2. That those very motives must have been the foundation on which the Earl of Rochford thought proper, &c.
3. That he cannot but regret, that the Earl of Rochford seems to have thought proper to lay the chirurgical reports before the king, in preference to all the other sufficient motives, &c.
Let the public determine whether this be defending government on their principles or your own.
The style and language you have adopted, are, I confess, not ill suited to the elegance of your own manners, or to the dignity of the cause you have undertaken. Every common dauber writes rascal and villain under his pictures, because the pictures themselves have neither character nor resemblance. But the works of a master require no index. His features and colouring are taken from nature. The impression they make is immediate and uniform; nor is it possible to mistake his ​characters, whether they represent the treachery of a minister, or the abused simplicity of a king.
JUNIUS.

# Knapp v. Banks/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
43 U.S. 73
Knapp v. Banks
We entertain no doubt whatsoever upon this question. The amount in controversy is to be decided by the sum in controversy at the time of the judgment, and not by any subsequent additions thereto, such as interest. The distinction constantly maintained is this: Where the plaintiff sues for an amount exceeding $2000, and the ad damnum exceeds $2000, if by reason of any erroneous ruling of the court below, the plaintiff recovers nothing, or less than $2000, there, the sum claimed by the plaintiff is the sum in controversy for which a writ of error will lie. But if a verdict is given against the defendant for a less sum than $2000, and judgment passes against him accordingly, there it is obvious that there is, on the part of the defendant, nothing in controversy beyond the sum for which the judgment is given; and consequently he is not entitled to any writ of error. We cannot look beyond the time of the judgment in order to ascertain whether a writ of error lies or not.
Mr. Ogden, of counsel for the defendant in error, moved the court to dismiss this writ of error for the want of jurisdiction, because the matters or sum in controversy, exclusive of costs, did not exceed $2000; which was opposed by Mr. Benedict, of counsel for the plaintiff in error, who contended that although the judgment of the Circuit Court was only for $1720, yet that the interest on that sum added thereto would make it exceed $2000. To which Mr. Ogden rejoined, that the right of the party to a writ of error, was controlled by the amount at the rendition of the judgment and could not be enlarged by time. On consideration whereof, It is the opinion of this court that where the plaintiff in the court below claims $2000 or more, and the ruling of the court is for a less sum, that he is entitled to a writ of error: but that the defendant in the court below is not entitled to such writ where the judgment against him is for a less sum than $2000 at the time of the rendition thereof-that this is the settled practice of this court. Whereupon it is now here ordered and adjudged by this court that this writ of error be and the same is hereby dismissed for the want of jurisdiction.

THIS was a case brought up by writ of error from the Circuit Court of the United States for the southern district of New York.
Banks had recovered a judgment in that court, against Knapp, for $1,720.
Ogden moved to dismiss the case for want of jurisdiction, which was opposed by Benedict upon the ground that adding interest upon the judgment down to the time when the writ of error was brought, would make it exceed $2000; and he cited 3 Peters, 32, to show that the amount in controversy in this court determined the jurisdiction.
Mr. Justice STORY delivered the opinion of the court.

# Littell's Living Age/Volume 162/Issue 2091/A Birthday

A BIRTHDAY.
1884.
Your birthday, dear — a year ago  The world with Maytide joy was glad; I heard you whisper, as you stood In the green shadow of the wood,  “Can any heart to-day be sad?”
A year ago I brought you flowers,  Long sprays of hawthorn, pink and white; But now those flowers are dry and dead, And you may pass with noiseless tread  O’er fields with fairer blossoms bright.
A year ago I wished you joy,  That all things good the year might bring; But, ere the time rolled round again, Came first the Angel Herald Pain,  And then, a summons from the King.
A year ago! A year ago  I clasped your hands and kissed your brow; Now you have journeyed far away; Beyond our earthly night and day —  The angels keep your birthday now.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 162/Issue 2092/Under the Limes

Originally published in Argosy.
In the last sweet hours of sunny June,  When summer was ringing her loudest chimes, I stood in the shade in the sultry noon —  In the shade of the sweetly scented limes. In the cloistered arch of the boughs above  The bees were singing their anthem low, And the sough of the wind was soft with love,  As it blew on my heart — as I heard it blow.
A voice, that was sweeter than wind or bee,  Spoke there with such solemn earnestness, That the face grew pale as it turned to me,  And the eyes looked dim in their deep distress: "Oh, I could not live if love were gone,  And I cared for none till I cared for you —" And the antiphon of the bees went on,  While the soughing wind in the branches blew.
Yet ever the roses died away,  The love was dying — the love was dead, And the eyes that burned my heart that day,  Burnt all the flowers of my heart instead; The lips that framed those changeless vows,  Gave careless greeting when next we met; Yet the wind still sighed in the scented boughs,  And the bees were in the branches yet.
Since then, I have wondered many a time  If I really stood on that day in June, And heard the bees in the fragrant lime,  With the soughing wind and my heart in tune. Perhaps 'twas a dream, and the dreamer I!  And dreams are fickle, as all men know! But whenever I smell the limes, I sigh,  And the wind is weird, when I hear it blow.
