Der to the first of February the people of Rich

According to the official figures, We take 4O0J
UU9 drinks per annum. According to my
theory. 100000 l believe we have 1000 vot-

per voter, or, if the population is 10000 10
drinks per annum for every man. woman, and

THE QUESTION OF HE'LL IN CoURT-Some
time ago a suit was brought by Edward Hall
which was commenced yesterday, before Judge
SedgWick, in the superior court. The action
is brought to recover on certain alleged false
representations i'm regard to the sale of twenty
two bonds. The defendant denies the alleged
false representations. A peculiar feature of
the case was brought to light yesterday in the
examination of witnesses. 1t seems that the
plaintiff is a very aged man, being now eighty
nine years old, and his wife, who Is also wit
ness, eighty years old. Before the examina-
tiOn of Mr.. Hall was commenced he was asked
by opposing counsel what his religious belief
was. MIR. Hail. don't know what YOU mean.
COunseL-Do you believe in a state of future
rewards and punishmentS? Mr.. Hail. don't
know exactly, but i think will know i'm a
very short time, and if have an opportunity
will come back and let you know. Having
thus briefly given his opinion on the "hell'
pared himself for further and more pertinent
legal interrOgatorieS-[N. Y Herald, 18th.
