When his customers asked for the drink, and refused to pay, ho took them outside and read to them—- “ What! do you think I’ll share you for nothing and give you a drink ?” This reading gars it a different meaning. Mr B. King, of Mudgoo (New South Wrles) died from tetanus. Ho had crushed the tip of his finger a fortnight before.
