Humour can arise at the oddest moments during the grimmest moments of Court trials. This is a miscellany of stories from the Courts and those who practice in them. The anecdotes which are all based on truth, have been oft-repeated in legal circles but this is the first time they have been published for all to enjoy. Legendary men of law - such as Clive Evatt Q.C. and Frank Galbally - make their appearance together with the paralysed (?) victim of a road accident, who was going to spend his insurance cheque on a trip to Lourdes and experience a 'miracle healing'; the illiterate forger who was sentenced to seven years prison; and the baffling case of the disappearance of 129 lawn mowers from a locked warehouse. Illustrated by Vane Lindesay.
