"It was bigger than that replied the police. "Was it as big as my two fists", said the judge "It was bigger than that", said the police man. "Well was it bigger than my head"? asked the judge. The police man looked at him sternly, "It was as big as your head your worship? said the police man, but wasn't so tough going away very vexed.
