HE ANSWERED THE QUESTION.
The following amusing passage took place between counsel and witness in a disputed will case: — ‘Did your father give you no parting admonition?’ . ‘He never gave much away at any time.' ‘I mean to say what were his last words?’ ‘They don’t concern you.’ ‘They not only concern me, sir,’ remarked the barrister, severely, ‘but they concern the whole court.’ ‘Oh, all right,’ was the reply. Father said, “Don’t have no trouble when I'm gone, .Tim, ’cos lawyers is the biggest thieves unhung.” ’
