The court is now in session! Case of the Crown versus Hancock's Marrow, round two. Presiding judge Lord Chief Justice Fleming.
There are one or two points in this case that I should like to elucidate. Will Mayor James please stand up?
Mornin' judge.
Your face is familiar! Haven't I seen you here before?
Yes, Your Honour. Three times, all told.
Really?
Yes. A six months, a not proven and a warning.
Well now, you wish to build a road through Mr Hancock's garden?
That's it.
And he won't let you because he's got a marrow growing there.
That's right.
Yes. Hmm. Yes. What is a marrow?
Eh?
I always ask that. It gets me in the newspapers.
