TWO-FOLD ILLUSTRATION.

SIR Fletcher Norton was noted for his want of courtesy. When pleading

before Lord Mansfield, on some question of manorial right, he chanced

unfortunately to say, "My Lord, I can illustrate the point in an instant

in my own person: I myself have two little manors." The judge

immediately interposed, with one of his blandest smiles, "We all know

it, Sir Fletcher."
