Policeman: A theft?

Paula: Yes, a man stole my tape-recorder, my money and my documents, He took all these things from my house. Some minutes ago I opened the door with my key and saw somebody in the room. It was a man. I cried and he run through the window.

Policeman: Yeah, yeah! Not so fast. I have to write all this down. Now,what was the thing?

Policeman: Was it expensive, lady?

Policeman: Never mind. We'll find this man.

VII.

T: Now we are at the court (за столом сидят судья, присяжные, прокурор и адвокат, чуть поодаль обвиняемый. Судья вызывает свидетелей)

CROSS-EXAMINATION

Judge: You were on duty today at night?

Wilkins: Yes.

J: Where were you?

W: I was in the High Street.

J: Did you see anyone in the High Street at that time?

W: Yes, I did.

J: Can you tell the court whom you saw?

W: I saw the accused.

J: Where was the accused when you saw him?

W: He was outside the house.

J: Could you see what he was doing?

W: He was climbing out of a broken window of the house.

J: How far from the house were you when you saw the accused?

W: About 50 yards.

Advocate: Your Honour! May 1 put him a question?

J: Yes, you may.

A: You said it was evening. How could you see what the man was doing at that distance?

W: It was a moonlight night. There was a full moon.

A: Did the accused run away when he heard you coming?

W: He didn't hear me coming.

A: He didn't hear you coming? Police constables wear very heavy boots, don't they?

W: Yes, they do.

A: Were you wearing heavy boots on that occasion?

W: I was.

A: The High Street has stone pavements, I believe.

W: Yes.

A: Heavy boots make quite a lot of noise on stone pavements?

W: Yes, they do.

A: But the accused did not run away. Do you really believe that he didn't hear you coming?

W: He didn't hear me coming. I caught him just as he had climbed out of the window.

A: Do you expect the jury to believe that you could not be heard and that there was no time for the accused to run away?

W: I was on a bicycle at the time. Rubber tyres do not make a noise.

A: I have no questions. Thank you.

Public prosecutor: Your Honour! I think this man is guilty. He went in the house of this girl by breaking the window. He took her things, money and documents. He works nowhere and doesn't want to work. Why I ask you? Because he is lazy. Of course it's easy to take somebody's things, sell them for nothing and live quietly. He doesn't think about other people, he doesn't think that they work hard to earn money. He takes them from their pockets, their houses, their bags. His place is in the prison. He should be isolated from our society. I ask three years of isolation for him. Thank you.

Advocate: Your Honour! Respected jury! I don't think that this man is guilty. You shouldn't be too severe to him. He doesn't work. Yes! But is it his fault? There are a lot of unemployed people in our society. Our factories and plants don't work as it was some years ago. They can't pay money to all their workers. They send people in streets. But people want to eat and that's why they go into strangers' flats. I ask you to forgive him. Thank you!

Judge: We have heard the opinion of the public prosecutor and the advocate. What is the opinion of our respected jury?

Juror 1: Guilty!

Juror 2: Guilty!

Juror 3: Not guilty!

Judge: Stand up! Trial is going. Mr H is guilty. Our verdict is: 2,5 years of the deprivation of freedom in the colony of the general regime. You may lodge an appeal in seven days. The trial is over.

Talk after the trial between two young advocates.

VIII.

T: Do you know any interesting stories on the topic "At the court"?

PI: Yes. In a breach of promise case in New York, the plaintiff was offered 200 dollars to compromise. "200 dollars?" she exclaims. "200 dollars for a broken heart, ruined hopes, and a blasted life, 200 dollars for all this? No make it 250 and it's a bargain".

Bargain — сделка; It's a bargain! - По рукам.

P2:

Judge: Was the prisoner sober?

Witness: No, sir. He was drunk as a judge.

J: You mean, 'drunk as a lord', of course!

W: Yes, my lord

The witness confused the idioms 'sober as a judge'(трезвый, как судья) and 'drunk as а lord'(пьяный, как черт).

P3: Judge: Prisoner, what can you say to your justification?

Prisoner: I beg you to take into consideration the fact that my lawyer is very young, sir.

Р4: "I warn you," said the judge solemnly, "that demonstrations of any kind are prohibited in the courtroom; therefore whoever shouts "Long live! Hurrah!" or "Down with!" will be sent outside". As soon as the accused heard this, he began to shout: "Hurrah! Down with!"

T: Thank you very much. I think our lesson was very useful for everybody.
