In his defence Nightingale asserted that the gen'

and given him drink till he scarcely knew what 11°
was about.
Mr. YARDLEY—The mere circumstance of his being,
drunk on his box rendered him liable to two ranntl3s_
imprisonment with hard labour. As however_ther cte •

was nothing previously known against his chara
and it was probable he would id the repair of the

locked up in default.
