"What's ail this, what's all this:' .!t Tied the In w iMcn d judge. "Only the gentleman's receipt in full for the amount claimed,' said the sergeant. "The plaintiff, half out of the wit ness Imix. turned to the judge with the air of a man who has heen cru ellv lulled. ' " '1 lake my solemn oath, my lord.' he saiil. earnestly.
