"_Sat cito si sat bene_" (Vol. vii., p. 594.).--I have not Twiss at hand;
but I think F. W. J. is mistaken in calling it a "favourite maxim" of Lord
Eldon. I remember to have heard Lord Eldon tell the story, which was, that
the Newcastle Fly, in which he came up to town, in I forget how many days,
had on its panel the motto, "Sat cito si sat bene:" he applied it jocularly
in defence of his own habits in Chancery.
