A Scotchman at left bows in apology to a magistrate and his wife at right. The magistrate says, "What's that you say fellow about Whores in a Saw Pit!! – a very improper place to go with such company – I wonder you are not ashamed to mention such a thing and before my Wife too!! – but however as it is your first offence I will discharge you this time – but never come here with such a story again!!" The Scotchman replies, "I own your Worship – I was a little inebriated but your Worship knows "Nemo Mortatium Omnibis "Hooris Saupit""
