SL-GHER SULLIVAN swore in q Boston
court the other day that he was never drunk
in his life, but admitted that he often got
"full."
There are people who will say, here is
distinction without a difference. And yet
there is difference according to the lexi-
con and we suppose it is in this sense that

biped who is full is as we'll prepared for
any species of crime as the one who is
drunk. A closer analysis of the difference
is apt to convince one that the person who

drunk" for in the latter case
