Show Contempt of Co art. A stranger once walked into a Massachusetts Massa-chusetts court and spent some time watching the proceedings. By and by a man was brought up for contempt of court and fined; whereupon the stranger rose and said: "How much was tbo fine?" Five dollars," replied the clerk. "WeU," said the stranger, laying down the money, "if that's all, I'd like to jinsj in. I've had a few hours' experience of this court, and no one can feel a greater contempt for it than I do, and I am willing will-ing to pay for it." Green Bag. |
