ACTION AGAINST THE MUSTARD CLUB Writ issued by Messrs. Sausage & Mash Sff UNDUE MYSTIFICATION' This was an a certiorari action before the Master of the Sausage Rolls. The Plaintiff pleaded " undue mystification.-' What was this Mustard Club? Who was its president, the Baron de Beef? He could not iind his name in Debrelt. Why should he, the plaintiff, be asked by his children whether he, as a father, had joined the Mustard Club ? He was a firm believer in Mustard. He was already teaching his children to preserve their digestions by eating Mustard. He never ate mutton without Mustard, much less a sandwich. He invariably took a Mustard Bath after playing Golf. Was he or was lie not an ipso facto and de jure member of the aforesaid Club ? He therefore called for immediate discovery of the documents in the case. Sir Julius Poloni, in reply, entered an alibi or alternatively pleaded habeas corpus. He was constrained to admit that Miss Di Gester, the Secretary of the Mustard Club, was guilty of occasional neglige ; but it had been laid down in the House of Lords that this was not a tort. (Mistress of the Modes v. League of Bright Young Things ) He also referred his lordship to Coke on Materia Calida, wherin it wis stated • that " hot stuff" did not in itself constitute an offence in Barratry. He submitted, therefore, that the action did not -lie. The Master of the Sausage Rolls, in summing, up, admitted the alibi, but discharged the case on an undertaking given by the Baron de' Beef to publish full details of the, Mustard Club in the newspapers by the 13th of the month. fi ? w m' *• % * * x 4 t 1 . joe-ripe For Painting and Paperhanging Contracts ■try-.
