middle-sged Englishman named John Dorse was
brought into Court on a charge of drunkenness. His

taking him into custody. His clothes were of the

stop a hole to keep the wind away" His face was
dirty that one would suppose that he washed it but
oace year and that this anniversary day wac close
at hand. All HE upper teeth gone, and his upper
Zip tinkir into the immense cavity, gave his mouth
the appearance of string of gasping suckers.

somewhat noted for flaming political speeches, and so
frequently hsd he made of the nterection "alem,

two hours he holding forth in the Court room his
audience was convulsed with laughter. AT length
Justice Kelly appeared and John was called up to an-
swer the charge. He was well known to the magis-
trate and the examination proceeded about as follows;
