Two judges were driving home one night, each in his own car, one behind fne other. They were both stopped by a policeman and given tickets for speeding. When their cases came up for hearing the next day, they agreed that each should leave the bench in turn to have his case heard by the other.
The first pleaded guilty and was promptly fined ten dollars. When they exchanged places the second magistrate, after pleading guilty, was rather shocked to receive a fine of fifteen dollars.
"That's not fair'" he complained. "I only fined you ten dollars."
"I know," was the reply, "but there is too much of this sort of thing going on2 —this is the second case we've had today."
