whether rnan is drunk or sober was
described by medical man who gave
evidence before the Pontefract bench.
Two colliers, who were charged with
drunkenness. went to the doctor 10 min
utes after they were seen by the police.
The doctor made them walk up and
down tho surgery, which they did in q
straight line, and then they stood erect
with their eyes closed and held their
arms as length with extended fingers.
The witness affirmed that the latter was
. severe ordeal for persons under the in
fuence Of alcohol, and as the colliers
passed through it without signs Of shak-
iness the charge against them was dis
missed. .-London Truth.
