Lamb And Erskine
Jests Home
COUNSELLOR LAMB, an old man when Lord Erskine was in the height of his
reputation, was of timid and nervous disposition, usually prefacing his
pleadings with an apology to that effect; and on one occasion, when
opposed, in some cause, to Erskine, he happened to remark that he felt
himself growing more and more timid as he grew older.--No wonder,
replied the relentless barrister; every one knows the older a lamb
grows, the more sheepish he becomes.
