under the influence of liquor he had been induced
by an irish woman TO enter an oven. which was a
large. old-fashioned one of brick, where she con-
fined him, intending 20 take him cut in short
time. Meanwhile the oven was heated for some
purpose, and he was allowed to remain in this hot
prison for nearly an hour, when he was found
