Greatness carries with it responsibilities, according to Mr. Justice Denniston, even where jokes are concerned. The Hon. J. A. Tole, appearing in the Supreme Court the first day after his appointment as King's Counsel, was listening to an honest carter, who returned two bottles of whisky which had strayed into his horse' 3 nosebag. "Was it good whisky?" queried the K.C. amid laughter. "You must be careful what jokes you make now,"' advised his Honor in a mild, reproving tone; "for your observations will be watched. You must bring your jokes uj» to the highest iudiciai stsuidaid.''
