stone He admitted the assault. Then
Mr. Labouchere. who was his own counsel, rose
to cross-examine the witness. The two enemies
faced each other. Mr.. Lawson was stern; Mr..
Labouchere cynically smiling. The spectators
prieked up their ears The aged Clerk of the
Court nervously examined the points of his
quill pens. Sir Richard Garden settled back in
his chair, wrapping his mazarin robes about
him. And the battle began.

MIR. Lawsons answers were at first sharp and
in an ordinary busness-like tone. After a while
Mr.. Labouchere began to badger the witness in
his manner of airiest persihage. Mr.. Lawson
shuffled his feet, blushed, stammered and
grew more andmorc confused. He contradicted
himself more than once. He admitted that he
had thought of fighting the duel the night
of the assault. Next day he decided to refuse.
Here came into play Mr.. Labouchere's strategy.

echoed with derisive laughter. Mr.. Lawson
was then made to relate the circumstances of

cover himself with humiliation "Why,''
asked his cross-examiner, 'Why did you bring
witnesses to see the assault" Because re-
