one of his drunken sprees he fell from the bridge
into gutter, and, striking his face upon a stone
was picked up, not only dripping with filth. but
with broken nose. On another occasion some

the death OF person who applied for it according
to the prescribed forms, 'shall rest in the widow if
there be one, and if there be no widow then in the
