WAISTS AND CORSETS, A DELICATE QUESTION FOR JUDGE STONOB. On Monday morning, at Brompton County- court, Miss Lily Stevens was sued by Madame Le Minton for £1 12s., the price of three pairs of corsets. Judge Stonor: What do you dispute? Defendant (blushing): I can't explain, your honour. (Laughter.) His Honour: Oh, I see—a delicate question. (Laughter.) An expert then took the corsets up to the Bench, and pointed out the defects complained of. His Honour (to plaintiff): Could you take a little piece off the top. (Laughter.) Plaintiff: No, sir; I should break the bones. (Laughter.) Defendant: Besides, they are too loose. His Honour: Oh, well, that does away with indigestion, you know. (Loud laughter.) What are these laces for ? Surely, they are to tighten or loosen, as the case may be? I think I know that much about them. (Laughter.) Defendant: Yes, but when they are closed right up they are too loose. His Honour (holding up the corsets): Well, I must say, you know, that I think them very small. You must have a wonoderfully small waist. (Laughter.) Defendant: I thank you, your honour. (Laughter.) Plaintiff: No smaller than mine, sir. (Laughter.) His Honour: Oh, I don't dispute that—far from it. Plaintiff: Thank you, your Honour. (Laugh- ter.) His Honour: This is a very difficult case to decide. Both of you seem to be a little narrow- waisted. (Laughter.) I find for the plaintiff for £1; no costs.
