"I was creeping along—hadn't gone more than a few yards, then out comes a policeman and puts up his hand."

"It was the first time I'd ever done it," said the defendant. Senior-Sergeant Martin (cynically): It's always the first time.

Have you any family? —No, sir, I've cnlv been married fourteen years.

The magistrate: So you still have hopes? The ride cost defendant 5/, plus 7/ costs.
