THE LOOPHOLE
BORROWED BOOKS Years ago, at the Equity Bar, Mr. Gateward Davis, of Australia, held high place, for he was a special .pleader of much precision and, missing some books from his library, he posted a notice, which, omitting formal parts, was as follows: —“Williams, Personal Property, and Kerr on Injunctions, are missing from my chambers. If any barrister has them or either of them I should be glad if he would return them, or one of them, to me forthwith.” Whereupon Clark Irving, borrowing another name for his letter, wrote:— “Dear Mr. Gateward Davis, I have the two books mentioned in your notice, and as I see that you will be satisfied with the return of one of them, I propose to return Williams and keep Kerr, as it will be very useful to me. —Yours, etc.” «
