    He was brought up by the authorities and was taken to court. As he stood at the court door in his old age, a Magistrate passed in and gave a scornful look at him. The priest said to him, "you are a big man today, but you will be a little man to morrow".
    His trial never came off that day, and his words came to pass. The Magistrate was dead next day, and that put an end to the court.
