EVELYN WAUGH, 11 JULY 1924 - Chris [Hollis] turned up in the morning and told me a good story. Mr Justice Phillimore was trying a sodomy case and brooded greatly whether his judgment had been right. He went to consult [former Lord Chancellor] Bikenhead. 'Excuse me, my lord, but could you tell me -- What do your think one ought to give a man who allows himself to be buggered?' Oh, 30s or £2 -- anything you happen to have on you.'
