Thirty-one cases of intoxi- cation came under the immediate notice of Justice Wood, the presiding magistrate at this court, which is an increase of nearly afty per cent over that of any former forty eight hours at the same police court.

In yoor editorial to-day you state that one Chris- tlaa Claase swore that he drank sixty glasses of lager bier in tweive hours. Now, sir, this is no uncommon feat. If you will take the trouble to send to the Jager bier saloon, corner Anthory street and Broadway, trey will fiad you a man that #illdrisk moch more than that in twelve hours—I should say double or treble that quantity; but for fear I msy make 4 mia‘ake, you caa bave the fact at the above addres. Jucge Lovbrop, who is a temperance maz, can testify to the lager bier story of fiity glasses in one hour, which is a fact. Thise was a femaie ic Manchester, Eogland, who ‘wae once summoned before ta2 magistrate for keeping a diacrderly house, and sllowiug men t> et drntk on the premizes. She proved conclu- \v iy thet it wees mis’ake, as it was impossible for a man to get drunk with hec beer. She stated tha; they might brossen (that is, burst), bus Se drank thet could not be. C.

Yea se7 that after the jary had deen 02! about four they came into court with a verdict as fol : ‘ Guilty of selling leger bier.” Your repor+ then states that “the Court stated to them that they shcold ficd a verdict of guilty or not guilty. Tne jury again consulted, and the foreman announced that the jury found the prisoser guilty.” Now the facta are that the jary rendered the following ver Gict: “ We find the defendant guiity of aalling lager bier,” and would not, and did not, alter it; and the jury, 04 well as the defendant’s counsel, inaiated that tbe Court should enter the verdict in ths very ‘words, as rendered by the jury; and the Court did #o and discharged the jary. The matter was then Postponed by the Court uatil the next day at 2 e’olock, for the purpose of hearing srguments of the spective counsel as to the effect of ibe verdict ran- dered, the defendant’s counsel claiming tras the should be disctarged, and tha’ tho Coart could not take judicial notice that lager bier was aa infoxlcating liqoor.
