A barrister stands to examine a witness, a stout man, well dressed but countrified (right): "Well Sir, you are a witness in this Cause, eh? You look like a very knowing fellow to be sure! pray now do you know the difference between the Mortgager and the Mortgagee?" The man answers: "To be sure I do, for example now!
