Some Witty Sayings of Famous Judges
in the English Courts.


Mr.. Justice Maule, one Of the most
notable of the Victorian Judges, is the
prince Of Judicial wits. My lord, you
may believe me or not, but / have stated
not word that is false, for have been
welded to truth from my infancy" ex-
claimed witness when cautioned by
the Judge
"Yes, SIR said Mr.. Justice Maule,
''but the question is how long have you
been widower."
AT one time the bailif in charge Of
a jury was sworn 10 keep them with
out meat, drink or fire." IL was Mr..
Justice Maule who gave the classic re-
ply to the bailif who inquired whether
he might grant a juryman's request for
glass OF water; We'll, Vt Is not meat,
and should not call il drink. Yes, you
may"
| Another Characteristic display of Mr.,
Justice Maule's humor was occassioned
| by the appearance of little girl in the
witness box. 1t was the judges duty,
before allowing her 10 be sworn, to as.
certain whether she understood the ma
ture Of an oath and believed in future
state.
10 you know what an oath is, my
eyes, sir, am obliged to tell the
truth"
@And ii you always tell the truth
where will you 20 when you diet"
Cup to heaven, sir"
"And what win become Of you if you
tell liesl"
4 shall go to the naughty place sir
Are you quite sure Of thatG"
Yes, sir, quite sure"
'Let her be sworn" said Mr.. JUS
tice Maule, st Is quite clear she knows
great deal more than / do"
Nearly all Maule's good sayings had
strong touch Of irony. May God
strike me dead my lud, ii am guilty.

found him guilty
