The Way He Made His Opponent win
a Case For Him.
Lord Brampton, famous English
cross examiner, told a story of how he
once won a case on technical ground
when he had no defense. He forced a
magistrates clerk to be put into the
witness box by the prosecution to
prove a purely formal matter Now,
having got him there, he cross exam
ined him and made him practically
admit that he '1ed his magistrates by
the nose;;" to admit also that they had
refused bail by his advice and that a
judge at chambers had afterward
granted it, although the witness had
come up all the way from London to
oppose 1t. Then, asked the cross ex-
aminer, you were in the room. sir,
say there was not rag of a case
against my unhappy client?" The
prosecuting counsel objected, and 1t
was ruled out. But the jurors had
heard it and had heard the answer
stopped. The dissatisfaction thus ad-
duced in their minds made them acquit
the prisoner. Leaving the court that
day, the prisoners counsel asked his
opponent, "Why did you object to that
question: The latter Indignantly
protested that his adversary when he
asked 1t must have known that it
could not be put. "Yes, did," was the
answer; "but 1 knew you, too, and
felt sure that you would object at the
right time. But you should have wait
