Pig-headed
MR. JUSTICE P----, a well-meaning but particularly prosing judge, on one
of his country circuits had to try a man for stealing a quantity of
copper. In his charge he had frequent occasion to mention the copper,
which he uniformly called lead, adding, I beg your pardon,
gentlemen,--copper; but I can't get the lead out of my head! At
this candid confession the whole court shouted with laughter.
