Lawyer's Handshake Brings Small Cash Surprise
A young man Elijah Simpson visits a New York attorney to collect a $106 debt for his father Lige Simpson. The lawyer meets him warmly, then gives him $25 in an envelope after repeated expressions of happiness to help the old friend's son. The tale ends with a sly remark about avoiding the grandfather. In a separate case, an English schoolmaster’s hand caning was ruled non actionable by the higher court despite fears of injury.
