Well,
it's true, Solomon did have it easier! After all, apart from that thing
with the two women and the baby, what demanding cases did he try? Anyway,
the Old Testament sage was a king, so had a good deal of latitude. The
modern judge is more circumscribed and must try to extract justice from a
morass of laws created by others. Perhaps no-one did this better than that
demon of denouement, the Yorkshire Judge, Embert Wimple, as the cases
presented in these stories surely demonstrate. All were culled from those
tried by the judge during his last year on the bench—or, more
truthfully, from the author’s fertile imagination! In any case, the wry
sense of humour of both judge and narrator are conveyed in a readable
style that makes the stories eminently entertaining and amusing.
