"The Magistrate: A Farce in Three Acts" by Arthur Wing Pinero is a farce written in 1885. A respectable London magistrate finds his orderly life turned upside down when his wife's deception about her age sets off a chain of scandalous events.

The next morning, Posket must preside over his own courtroom—only to discover familiar faces in the dock, including his own wife.
