A Ticklish Opening
HENRY ERSKINE happening to be retained for a client of the name of
Tickle, began his speech in opening the case, thus: Tickle, my client,
the defendant, my lord,--and upon proceeding so far was interrupted by
laughter in court, which was increased when the judge (Lord Kaimes)
exclaimed, Tickle him yourself, Harry; you are as able to do so as I
am.
