Shakspeare—Blackstone.—In Moore's Diary, vol. iv. p. 130., he says,—
"Mr. Duncan mentioned, that Blackstone has preserved the name of the judge to whom Shakspeare alludes in the grave-digger's argument?—
'If the water comes to the man,' &c."
Will one of your Shakspearian or legal correspondents have the kindness to name the judge so alluded to, and give a reference to the passage in Blackstone in which he conveys this information?
Ignoramus.
