A witness being cross examined by an impudent counsel, was asked if he was not a fortune-teller. "I am not," answered the witness; "but if every one had his due I should have no difficulty in telling your fortune." "Well," said the lawyer, "pray what is to be my fortune?" "Why, sir," rejoined the witness, "I understand you made your first speech at the Old Bailey, and I think it is possible that you will make your last speech there, too."
