the charge to jury delivered by GER
tain Judge Donovan as the shortest on
record. The judge said:
Gentlemen of the jury, IL you be-
lieve the plaintiff, find a verdict for
plaintiff and fix the amount. If you be-
lleye the defendant. find a verdict for
defendant. Follow the officer"
But an English periodical caps this
brief charge by quoting a shorter one
delivered by Commissioner Kerr. He
said to jury:
