bly to move your lordship in the case of —. The Chan-
cellor: "Mr. Plunket, 1 cannot hear anything to-day but
motions of course." Mr. Plunket : "My lord, I think you
will find that this comes perfectly under your lordship's rule.

ter of the Rolls ."' Loud shouts of laughter followed this
bitter sally of the witty lawyer—the jest not being the less
