Levien, asked the witness what did he value the animal at, and at once came the reply, “One hundred pounds.” The magistrate replied : “Wouldn’t you rather have the hundred pounds?” The witness was rather nonplussed, and said lie did not like parting- wilh n gift horse. The magistrate had the final say when he adjusted the claim and counter-claim.
