AN unnecessary contention.

A hearty laugh was occasioned AZ
the Birmingham police court by a pris-
oner who gave himself away in q very
delightful manner. The man was the
first on the list, and the charge against
him was merely one OF being drunk
and disorderly. He stepped into the
dock, however, just at the moment
when the dock officer was reading out
a few Of the cases which were to come
before the court that morning, and q
guilty conscience apparently led him
to mistake these items fer q list Of his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while the
officer read out about a dozen drunk
and disorderlies, but when he came to
one "shopbreaking" the prisoner e1
claimed excitedly, That was eight
years ago, your honor" Everyone be-
gan to laugh, and the prisoner, realiz-
ing the blunder he had made, at first
looked very black indeed, but finally
saw the humorous side of the matter.
and a broad smile spread over his face.
His blunder did not cost anything
