A blacksmith was lately summoned
10 a county court, as a witness in q dis
purc between two of his workmen. The
Judge, after hearing the testimony, asked
hun why he did not advise them to settle,
Is he costs had already amounted to
three times the amount of the sum in
disru,e. Tie replied, Il told the fools to
settle; for | said that the barristers would
take their coats, the lawyers their shirts,
and if they got into your hOnor's court,
you j skin 'em!"
