1. The Scottish pint of liquid measure comprehends four English measures of the same denomination. The jest is well known of my poor countryman who, driven to extremity by the raillery of the Southern on the small denomination of the Scottish coin, at length answered, “Ay, ay! but the deil tak them that has the least pint-stoup!”’ —Scott: Redgauntlet, Note.
