Settled Oat of Court.

A barrister riding his bicycle in a path was caught by a policeman. The gentleman at once came off the path, and tried to reason with the policeman. “You aren’t really going to run me in for this?” he asked. “Yes, sir; I can’t help it” v "Well, come In here (a public house close by), and we will talk about it.” The policeman followed the gentleman, who ordered two glasses of beer, one for himself, the other for the policeman, both of which were finished before he again remarked: “Surely you are not really going to make a fuss about this?” “I must sir; it’s my business.” “Ah! then at the same time it will be my business to report you for drinking beer while on duty.” r - The policeman's expression suddenly changed. “You’re a lawyer, I suppose, sir?” “Yes.” “And a sharp one, too,” he said, as he went out and left the gentleman to continue his ride.
