WHISKEY DHINKING IN DUBLIN. The
following occurrence took place in the Phoenix-park, on Satur-
day. A man named John Foy, the proprietor of a public-house
in the park, known as the " Hole-in-the-Wail," with other
persons, commenced drinking whiskey for a wager ; they con-
sumed about half a gallon, when they became drunk, and fell
asleep—this sleep was Foy's last, for he was discovered dead in a
watch-box belonging to the workmen who are employed in re
building the wall of the park, in about two hours afte he had
commenced drinking. John Paisley, Esq., senior coroner of the
county, and a iespectable jury, he'd an inquest on the body,
about ten o'clock on Saturday night, when the above facts
appeared in evidence ; and the Jury returned a verdict " that
the said John Foy died of suffocation, which was produced by
his having taken an over quantity of whiskey." The deceased
was about 40 years of age, and it was stated that he was a hard-
drinking man. One of the persons who had been drinking
with him stated, that he (the deceased) had taken nearly three
pints of whiskey, and that he (the speaker,) after three or four
glasses, was so stupified that he did not remember what oc-
curred afterwards, and when he became conscious he learned
that Foy was dead. He also said the whiskey was extremely
bad, for were it pure spirits three or four glasses would not
have stupified him in such a manner.
