was suing his neighbor, William Smith,
for damages occasloned by the defend
ants carelessness IN allowing his dom
key to escape from his stable and tres
pass upon plaintiffs premises, thus do
ing much mischief in his garden. Nc
Carly stepped into the witness box to
give evidence in support Of his case,
and when he had finished the lawyer
who appeared for the defendant pro-
ceededto cross-exanine him.
Now you mean to say that all the
injury to the property OF which you
speak was caused solely by Smith
donkey o.
"Sartinly, sor.
"Oh, indeed and where did you
first see this animal which you declare
has been the source Of 50 much mis-
chief ;"
Il saw him tied up in defendants
stbable."
"Yes, and where did you next see
him ?"
"On nay premises, to be sure.
The lawyer now saw his chance, and
in his best manner pressed the ques-
ton
How did you know it vas the same
donkey 2"
How did | know p was the de-
risive exclamation. IF ! saw yez tied
up in a sthabIe, don't yez suppose Id
