the remark that without such habits
longevity was never attained. The
next witness proved to be this old

than himself He also bore himself

justice rushed to the conclusion thai
he was equally exemplary in his hab

pliment. He said he liked to lie in bed
late and clinched the matter by adding
that he could not remember a night
when he had not gone to bed without
being more or less drunk
The barristcr. who was Oh his feet
caught at this admission and exclaim
ed, "Ah. my lord, this old mans case
supports the theory-one held by many

favorable to longevity"
