Yollop: "I never was so surprised in my life."

Counsel, thunderously: "Answer my question!"

Yollop: "Well, I hit him and he fell."

Counsel: "Do you regard yourself as an experienced boxer?"

Yollop: "No, I don't."

Counsel: "Are you what may be termed a powerful man, able to strike
a powerful blow with the fist?"

Yollop: "I don't know. The defendant can answer that question better
than I can."

Counsel, to the court: "Your honor, I appeal to you to direct this
witness to answer my questions--"

The Court: "Confine your answers to the questions as they are put to
you, Mr. Witness."

Counsel to Yollop: "Now see if you can answer this question, Mr.
Yollop. You have described in direct examination that this defendant
was a big, burly, rough looking man. You say you were surprised when
he went down under your inexpert blow. Why were you surprised?"

Yollop: "I was surprised to find how easy it is to knock a man
down."
