Lord Ellenborough's Sarcasms.

From the Green Bag.
1t is said that Lord Peterborough. as
chief justice of England, was pitiless in
his severity to lawyers who attempted to
display eloquence while they lacked wit
or brains. His sarcasms were as fire.
quent as they were terrible. He inter-
rupted one barrister. who, soaring to a
poetical flight, exclaimed. This may be
found in the large volume of nature" by
saying, Pray, at what page, sir"
An Irish barrister. beginning fine
figure about an eagle, was confused by
his lordshp's contemptuous look and
lost his way. when the judge commented.
II would advise you. sir. to clip your
eagles wings the next time you bring
him into court.
An ambitious young lawyer. striking a
pathetic vein, and repeating the phrase.
my unfortunate client. sir" was ST.
fenced by the remark, go on, sir; the
court is with you so far"
A barAster, having wearied the court
by a tedious plea. was interrupted by ad-
iournment, and said, Il shall have the
pleasure of addressing the court. then. on
Friday." Very quickly came this re-
sponse from the chief justice:
.'The court will hear you Friday, but
pleasure was out of the question long
ago"
