Extraordinary Compromise
Jests Home
AT Durham assize a deaf old lady, who had brought an action for damages
against a neighbor, was being examined, when the judge suggested a
compromise, and instructed counsel to ask what she would take to settle
the matter. His lordship wants to know what you will take? asked the
learned counsel, bawling as loud as ever he could in the old lady's ear.
I thank his lordship kindly, answered the ancient dame; and if it's
no ill-convenience to him, I'll take a little warm ale!
