uted to that fact. The good Queen will
be seventy years of age to-morrow-the
allotted time of average human long
evity.
Up to 10 so last night, one drunk and
three persons for unlawful possession of

keeper had a difficulty in deciding
whether to lock the man up or not-the
statements were SO conflicting.
