ATTRIBUTION: | A solicitor, after hearing Lord Westbury’s opinion, ventured to say that he had turned the matter over in his mind, and thought that something might be said on the other side; to which he replied, “Then sir, you will turn it over once more in what you are pleased to call your mind.”—Nash: Life of Lord Westbury, vol. ii. 292. |
