Talk:Elias Beckingham

Odd wording about "the only honest judge"
In the lead paragraph: "...he has been called, with only one other, 'the only honest judge' of the time." As I wrote earlier today on the DYK talk page (a hook for this article is in a prep area whose contents are scheduled to appear on the Main Page tomorrow), this is slightly odd; can more than one judge be called the only honest judge? Perhaps one contemporary or historian pronounced Beckingham the only honest judge and another contemporary or historian described a different judge thusly? What does the cited source actually say? --Dyspeptic skeptic (talk) 14:05, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
