A man pretending to be deaf and dumb
came to Belfast last week, and begged for
money. Some of the boys suspected he was
shamming and tried the usual tricks to
catch him, but without avail. No amount
Of personal abuse or Jokes would cause him
to change countenance Hemanaged some
how to get few drinks aboard, and that
was his undoing. A man in his presence
found his hearing and speech both at once
and berated the singer numerically. He
was taken before the Police Court and given
/ 60-days Jail sentence. He is apparently
cured of both infirmities. He says he has
played the deaf-mute game in Bangor for
5wo or three years, and passes there as
genuine. ~-e%|
