Book excerpt: Excerpt from Curiosities of Law and Lawyers ON lately retiring, after half a century's prac tice of the Law, my companions, in Grand Divan assembled, bound me over to complete for their use a Repertory of Good Things relating to our common profession, which I had long been preparing, and of which they had read and heard snatches.

When Preston, the great con veyancer, gravely stated to the Court of the King's Bench the platitude that an estate in fee simple was the highest estate known to the law of England, the Chief Justice said, with politest irony, Stay, stay, Mr. Preston, let me take that down. An estate (the judge writing as he spoke) - ih fee simple - is the highest estate - known to the law of England.' Thank you, Mr. Preston; the Court, sir, is much indebted to you for the information.

Download or read book Lawyers Merriments Classic Reprint written by David Murray and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lawyers' Merriments Law is a serious matter, but the outside world seems to find in it a perpetual source of entertainment. Litigants and lawyers, courts and judges, and the very law itself, have furnished topics for scores of amusing volumes. Morison's Dictionary, with its seventeen thousand pages, to say nothing of the Appendix and many volumes of Supplement, is a vast repertory of learning, of much sound and of some bad law, but the curious reader will find not a little to amuse him in the situations presented by the cases reported, by the odd observations of the reporters, and the naive and pithy remarks of the judges. No one has attacked it, but any enthusiast who does so will find material for many gatherings of Curiosities. This treatment of the law and those who resort to its aid, or who are engaged in its administration, is perfectly legitimate, and there is no reason why outsiders should not laugh at what they find provokes to laughter. Ill drawn or absurd statutes, muddled or bizarre wills, may quite well be treated as Curiosities of Legislation, or as Whims of Testators, and many industrious authors have employed themselves in searching out and exhibiting such maladroit performances of legislators and draftsmen -lay or professional - and the confusion which they bring about.

The progeny of these two branches of Strongs ramified far and wide in the field of law, and quite likely a few more judges among them might be unearthed by more or less diligent search, and if the fates had been kinder upon my two nominations for a judgeship by the Republi cans of New York City, I might have added another to the list of Supreme Court Judges.
