_Dogberry's Losses_ (Vol. vii., p. 377.).--I do not know whether it has

ever been suggested, but I feel inclined to read "lawsuits." He has just

boasted of himself as "one that knows the _law_;" and it seems natural

enough that he should go on to brag of being a rich fellow enough, "and a

fellow that hath had _lawsuits_" of his own, and actually figured as

plaintiff or defendant. Suppose the words taken down from the mouth of an

actor, and the mistake would be easy.
