HEARD IN COURT
GEMS OF UNCONSCIOUS FIUMOUR Some gems of unconscious humour heard in the English Courts last month:— Marylebor.e Magistrate: Did the prisoner go quietly? Constable? Yes—in the police ambulance. * • • Wife, at Stratford: My husband chased me with a razor. Solicitor: And what did he say. Wife: Nothing—only that he would cut my throat. * • • “I am ashamed of being drunk, and if you can keep it from the police I should be truly thankful.”— Man at Willesden. * • * Wife at Kingston-on-Thames: He is keeping another woman. Husband: It is a lie. She is keeping me. • • * Counsel at Guildford, Surrey: Was anything found on the prisoner when you searched him? Constable: Nothing discriminating. Solicitor at Shoreditch County Court: Is your wife in the habit of telling untruths? Man: She is about the usual. • • * Willesden Woman: A week ago my husband threatened to leave me, and now he has gone. Mr Luke, the magistrate: Thn you cannot complain that he has not given you a week's notice.
