Mr. Crasher. I know I may.
The Judge. I'm glad you know it.
Mr. Crasher. I'm glad you are pleased.
The Judge. Very well.
Mr. Crasher. Very well.
The Judge. Joseph Gubbins, you have been very properly found guilty of stealing a pot—I mean you will be in a moment—eh gentlemen? (Jury nod.) Of course. You have been found guilty of stealing a pot. Now pot-stealing is a crime which is injurious to the public weal—-
Mr. Slasher. And public-house.
The Judge. Ha! ha! very good. I laugh, you see, Mr. Crasher, to show that I am undisturbed in my temper.
Mr. Crasher. I have no objection, Sir, to your laughing at my learned friend, in fact I do so myself ten times a day.
Mr. Slasher. "All fools have still an itching to deride."
