When the late Lord Chief Justice Coleridge

presentations to Lord Coleridge were over
and the band had begun to play the march
which was to accompany the procession to
the dining room, when'a skeleton appeared at
the feast in the shape OF u sheriff's deputy
1t seemed that a tailor, who was one of
Storrs many creditors, had attached the
dinner for debt, and would not let the enter
tainmeut 90 on until he had some sort OF
satisfaction. With the utmost difficulty the
truth was kept from Lord Coleridge who
wound have en- Dyed the joke very much YOU
may be sure. and some pretext for DELAY OF
half an hour was found while somebody was
induced TO pay the tailor and release the
wines and viands. This done the entertain

Storrs, who was the most brilliant poSt-pran-
dial orator of his day was never happier in
his introductions and repartees l don't know
whether COieridge ever heard the story. but I

Storrs theories that made dishes and late

old-fashioned American meals three times a
