AN Inoffensive Person walking in a public place was assaulted by a
Stranger with a Club, and severely1 beaten.
When the Stranger with a Club was brought to trial, the complainant
said to the Judge:
"I do not know why I was assaulted; I have not an enemy in the
world."
"That," said the defendant2, "is why I struck him."
"Let the prisoner be discharged," said the Judge; "a man who has no
enemies has no friends. The courts are not for such."
