Shortest Judgment Ever

Tucked inside the second volume of Vern., at page 638, and also at 23 English Reports 1018, is the world's shortest judgment all time - nine words! Dated 1708, the case does not offer the judge's name but we do know it was the High Court of Chancery because that's all Thomas Vernon, Esquire, covered in his law report. But the case does answer, succinctly, that conundrum which has bedazzled lawyers since Hammurabi: in a devise of household goods, are the dishes included?

This is Lillicott v Compton, verbatim:

"Plate shall pass by a devise of household goods."
