WHAT IS q ssTean 81


4 The Court Of Qaeen's Bench wer,
recently called upon to give lega
definition 70 the word steam z A ten
ant OF an English duke lad agreed a
! part Of his rent payment. to furnish
a: sundry times, ssone davis team
work with two horses aud one nrone,
person.
On one occasion the dukes mana
ger desired the farmer to send a car,
TO fetch Goals from the railway station
to the ducal mansion. The farme,
offered to furnish two horses and 4
man, but insisted that the duke should
supply the cart. aTtere can't be 4
team without a cart or wagons said
the manager. sob, yes there can
replied the farmer, 'sthe horses are
the tearn.n
Both parties were honest. both
were obstinate, and so law was asked
to decide which definition of steam,'
was correct, the dukes or the far
mer's. A jury said the dukes but
the farmer asked the Court Of Queens
Bench IT the jury were not quite as
incorrect as the duke.
The Court heard learned LAWYERS
argue and also discussed among them.
selves, "What is a team ?'' Poetry
and lexicoDs were appealed to. One
judge quoted these lines to show that
the team is separate from the cart.
Giles Jelt was sleeping, in his cart he Law.
Some waggish pilfrers stole his team away

here? =
Why, how now; am Giles or nots
If he, I've lost six geldings to nv NV smart.
If not, Dds Bodkins, I've found cart
Another Judge quoted line from
Wordsworth
my jolly team viii work alone for me.n
Horses" said the learned iuloe
might be jolly but a cart cannot >
Whereupon the counsel for the dnka
gave the judge "Rowland'' for his
"Oliver" by citing Gray's lines:
mOft did the harvest to their sickle yield
1heir furrow OFT the stubborn glebe hath
broke;
How jocund did they drive their team aReld
how bowed the wood beneath their sturdy
stroke ~
But the farmers lawyer "capped,
that quotation with several citations
from the poets From Spencer
"Thee ploughman all unmeeting found
A his toilsome team that way did glide.
And brought thee mp a ploughman's state to

From Shakespeare:
eve fairies that do run,
BY the triplet Hecates team,
From the presence of the sun,
Following darkness like dream
From Dryden:
Any number, and passing in a line
Like long team Of snowy swans on high.
Which clap their wings and cleave the LIQUID
sky"
The judges decided two to one
that the characterization of steam"
is correct; and then, as if to add an.
other to the many illustrations of the
GLORIOUS uncertainty of the law" said
they would hear the case over again.
The case shows the Importance of
putting down in a written agreement
just what IS agreed upon, ana of es-
chewing all ambiguous words.
