Summary Decision
MR. BROUGHAM, when at the bar, opened before Lord Chief Justice
Tenterden an action for the amount of a wager laid upon the event of a
dog-fight, which, through some unwillingness of dogs or men, had not
been brought to an issue. We, my lord, said the advocate, were minded
that the dogs should fight.--Then I, replied the Judge, am minded
to hear no more of it: and he called another cause.
