When a female member of our roy- al family holds a levee it is customary for her to kiss the ladles of the no- bility and no others. It happened that the lady of the Lord Justice Clerk was, on one occasion, among the num. ber of those presented to the Princess Amelia, who was very deaf, “Stand by for my Lady Justice Clerk,” sald the man in waliting. Meanwhile some meddling person whispered to him that his announce- ment was incorrect, the lady being a commoner.
