“The Mixture”
Chief Justice Darley: “Ugh! What horrid stuff! What is it?”
Doc. Parkes: “O take it, it will do you good, it is highly recommended by good authorities. In fact, it is the famous ‘Stamping-out’ mixture you helped to prescribe at Jubilee time at Sydney Town Hall.”
C. J. Darley: “Throw it to the dogs, I’ll none if it. It is food for the common-people, but is not the sort of thing for the Supreme Court.”
