A Rich Liquor Case.

The Oxford Democrat reports the following
case tried last week in the Supreme Judicial
Court at Paris, before Judge Walton:
John Clinkey, an Englishman of an intelli-
GENT, smart appearance, and courteous man
ners over sixty years of age, we should think,
who has been living at Locke's Mills for some
three years, and who has kept low beer shop
had no COUNSEL and didn't want any. Several
witnesses swore to buying what he called Cream
Ale and that it had fiddle to it. One testi-
fed to seeing him open barrel which respon-
dent called ale.
When called upon for his defence. he adj
dressed the Court with some flourish, and de-
clared that he only sold beer which he manu-
featured from hops, molasses and water, and
denied that it was intoxicating He had a
sample in bottle which he presented to his
honor who declined tasting it, saying that he
was not an expert He then offered it to the
jury, but they didn't seem inclined to drink, III

but declined taking an oath. Inc Juuse Wy ~

to invoke aid of higher power d s antad luis his

and not at to drink. The Judge remarked that
he had preached very good temperance lee
ture. for testimony from such source was
worth something, to show the vile nature of in
toxicatng liquors of the present day.
| The County Attorney made a few remarks,
| and the case was submitted. A verdict of gull
