Best answer: Consider Lord Kames (1692–1782), who used a similar phrase as a goodbye to other judges:

Perhaps he will be remembered longest by his bitter addition to the sentence of death he pronounced on a gentleman, with whom he had frequently played chess: "That's checkmate to you, Matthew"; or by his feeling good-by in the Robing Room to his collected Brethren: "fare ye a' weel, ye bitches"...
