[39]
On one occasion an advocate produced a girl alleged
to be the sister of the opposing party (for it was on
this point that the dispute turned) and led her
across to the benches occupied by his opponents as
though to leave her in the arms of her brother: I however had given tile brother timely warning and he had
left his seat. The advocate, although as a rule an
eloquent speaker, was struck dumb by the unexpected
turn of events and took his little girl back again in
the tamest possible manner.
