Show Legal Amenities.. Several decades ago there lived in Charleston, W. Va., a judge noted for his boorish manners. A very finical lawyer whom he especially disliked was once trying a case before him, and all the while the barrister spoke the judge sat with ' his feet elevated on the railing iu front of him hiding his face. Exasperated by this the: lawyer queried: 'May I ask which end of your honor 1 am to address?" "Whichever you choose," diawled the judge. "Well," was the retort, "I suppose there is as much law in one end as the other." |
