One very distinguished Judge of the Superior Comt (now no more) whose gi*eat perspicuity of mind saw at the beginning the veiy end of the cause ; was in the habit of saying that the cause was in a nut shell and con- fining the lawyers to a very narrow discussion. He had applied that expression to me veiy often, and I took the liberty of rising up one day with as much gi'a
...vity as I could assume and saying, " True, your Honor, but I think that the Court is judicially, bound to take notice that nut shells ai'e of vaiious sizes from a hazel nut up to a cocoanut'' The Judge took my reply very kindly, and gave us our time to tiy the cause.
