Magistrate. You are young to bandy words with one old enough to be your father!

Prisoner. My father! You my father! What an honour!

Magistrate. I do not envy him! Nor your mother!

Prisoner (excitedly). You shall not speak of my mother. My mother is sacred. She shall not be referred to in the tainted atmosphere of a Court of Justice.

[Applause.

Magistrate. This hypocrisy shall not serve you. You never loved your mother!

[Prolonged sensation.

Prisoner. Your worship, you are a liar!

[Loud cheers.

Magistrate. This to the Bench from the gutter! For you know you were found drunk and incapable in the gutter. What were you doing there?
