Mr.. Henry Fielding Dickens, the
newly appointed common sergeant, is
responsible for an amusing story con-
corning an eminent kings counsel who,
in the course of a learned argument,
rested his case entirely on one reported
decision, which he claimed to be of
paramount Importance.
But when he had finished, his oppo-
nent, being asked by the judge what
he had to say, replied:
Il will not trouble your lordship with
any further argument. l only wish to
say that my friend has forgotten TO
inform your lordship that the case on
which he relies has been taken on APP
peal to the house of lords and the de-
cision absolutely reversed"
Upon this the eminent X. c. turned
to his colleagues round about and
whispered:
Good heavens, what liar that man
must be! Why, there never was such
