"FINE”
A motorist who had been caught exceeding the speed limit was summoned to appeal - at the country town one Monday. The delinquent’s frltmda told him that the magistrate on duty was a decent fellow, and that if ho treated the Bench with due respect he might escape with a very light penalty. On the day when the case was heard the motorist stepped smartly into the dock, bowed deeply, and said: “Good morning, sir. How are you to-day?” "Fine,” replied the J.P. briefly, “five pounds.”
