Pastime after a cabinet dinner – questions without commands.

Pastime humbly proposed for Statesmen – Game to be
played at across the table, after a Cabinet dinner –
present the First Lord Commissioner of his Majestys Treasury,
the Lord High Chancellor, and the Lord Chief Justice of England, &
&c &c – questions and commands simplified – questions without commands
– determine a form of a question with a double aspect
made into a dilemma.

First Lord loquitur – having the Of the cases in which
Jury trial is sold, there being so many in which it is not
delivered, where is it that we are to what or to whom
is it that we are to look for the deficiency? – to the system
or to the hands by which it is administered? – If to the
system, then why, my good Lord Chancellor, take it for
a motto to your coach? – If to the hands, then
what, my good Lord Chief Justice, have yours been about
all this while?

There's a dilemma – there he has them – Upon one
or other of its horns, behold their learned Lordships, one after
another, stuck – writhing and fluttering, till Mercy whispers
to let them him down .....

Alas, my Lord! – where into what sanctuary
have my thoughts been wandering! – but there in ambition
as in love, there Sir Andrew Ague-cheek becomes a there is no bound to men's ambi boldness
in his dreams. Hercules in his dreams.
