GEORGE III.

Was known to make no secret of his own plans or notions.  “Have you ever been in Parliament, Mr. Law?” asked the King, when Law was attending at the levee on his appointment as Attorney-General.  The answer was in the negative.  “That is right; my Attorney-General ought not to have been in Parliament; for then, you know, he is not obliged to eat his own words.”  On the esplanade at Weymouth, he used to stop and speak to some children.  “Well, little boy, what will you be?  Will you be a soldier?” Then turning to one of his attendants, “I know the children by the nursemaids.”

INGENIOUS DEFENCE.

At a celebrated watering-place a man was fined five shillings and costs for being found in a state of inebriation, when he made an elaborate appeal to their Worships (the Bench) in mitigation of damages, founded upon the extreme hardship he had undergone in being fined four several times for the same offence!
