Should horses in Charleston be required to wear diapers? Does the
hotchpot rule apply when dividing a testator's 17 residuary
elephants? Which verse in the Old Testament was the life-saving
'neck' verse? May sexual intercourse be conducted on a without
prejudice basis? These questions and many others like them are
raised but not always fully answered in A New Miscellany-at-Law.
This follows the same style as its two predecessors but consists of
entirely new material, some of it suggested by the readers of the
first two volumes. Like them, it collects accounts of strange and
remarkable cases, striking court-room exchanges, wise and witty
utterances from the Bench, and much else that illumines the law.
For the common law world its reach is global, with many riches from
the USA; and Scotland is not forgotten. Although the book is
primarily for lawyers, a glossary and explanatory footnotes enable
non-lawyers to share in the humour. Some may read the book from
cover to cover; but for most there will be the pleasures of
browsing, often surprisingly prolonged. A New Miscellany-at-Law
also includes many other jewels. There is the touching
Conveyancer's Ode to His Beloved, the court's refusal to consider
whether bees should be classified as invitees, licensees or
trespassers, a deplorable account of a wife being part-exchanged
for a Newfoundland dog, the future Lord Denning's reference to a
wife who was actually committing adultery while denying it in the
witness box, and 'fustum funnidos tantaraboo' in Chancery.
