brief” must have much to do with second-hand information.

Cause Without Effect.—An action resulting in a farthing’s damages.

A “Counter-Case.”—Shop-lifting.

Diamonds of the Cape.—Intelligent policemen.

Information Wanted.—At what time in the morning are barristers called?

Baby crawling on table and thumbing its nose at the judge

MR. PUNCH’S ILLUSTRATED LAW REPORTS

“Alleged contempt of court by an infant”

Compliments.—“The Court” (thinking aloud). “Hu—m—’markably fine young wom——.”

The Witness (overhearing). “Excellent judge!!”

Adviser visiting invalid gentleman at home

Cantankerous.—Legal Adviser (drawing up the old gentleman’s will). “Um—seems a pity you should cut off your son with a shilling. But, if you’re determined—hem!—what about the pictures? You have a very valuable collection, sir?——”

Crusty Invalid. “Oh, drat the pictures! Leave ’em to the Blind Asylum!!”

NO JOKE FOR A JURY

O poor jury, boxed, poor jury,

Three weeks odd, each day but one;

Rose impatience not to fury

Ere your weary task was done?

You were special, picked and chosen

For the nonce, were you, indeed.

But had one among your dozen,

Business of his own to heed?

Put an artist on an action,

Or a scribe as juror bind,

How shall that man help distraction,

From his duty, of his mind?

Thoughts of lost employment pressing

He can chase not, nor control

Fell anxiety, distressing,

If it were to save his soul.

If your case needs comprehension,

Litigants, your jury, then,

Must, to give it due attention,

Be composed of leisured men.

Swells in yachts life idly leading,

Fishing, hunting, shooting, who

Might, to work for bread not needing,

Sing, “We’ve got no work to do.”

THE REJECTED DESIGN FOR THE NEW LAW COURTS

“One anonymous architect has sent in a frantic design, which the commissioners have not chosen to exhibit.”—Times, Feb. 11, 1867.
