What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising** for liqueurs, binders, and whiskey, with two humor pieces on the right side. The main content consists of **"Stories with Smiles,"** short humorous anecdotes: 1. **Welsh Language in Court**: A Welsh Parliament member (Mr. Mabon) argues for Welsh-speaking judges by demonstrating that an English judge cannot understand Welsh legal testimony. He speaks incomprehensible Welsh, embarrassing the English attorney-general and proving his point—a satire on English resistance to accommodating Welsh language rights. 2. **Same Offense**: A humorous dialect story where an elderly Black man argues he cannot be charged twice for the same crime (double jeopardy principle), though he's repeatedly caught stealing from the same henhouse. The joke relies on period-typical racial stereotypes in dialect. 3. **Delayed Resentment**: A brief joke about a man suing for being called a "rhinoceros"—three years after the insult. These are light, anecdotal humor pieces typical of Judge magazine's satirical content.

The English members contended that there was not the slightest necessity for it; an English-speaking judge would, in every case, do exactly as well asa native, ‘Then Mr. Mabon, a Welsh member, sprang to his feet. “Very well,’’ said he. ‘Let us con. sider the matter.
