FOREIGNERS BEWARE!
The case was one of assault, aud the magistrate fearing that it might be the beginning of another outbreak of hooliganism, was inclined to be severe. , “ For the second time,” he said, addressing the prisoner, ‘* you are charged with assaulting your neighbour. The evidence shows that you deliberately- and without auy apparent cause whatsoever, struck the complainant with your clenched fist.”
“ Faith, yer Honor,” cried Pat, “ if Oi did he struck me back again !” ‘ ‘ But he only did so in selfdefence,” said the judge. ” An' what about me?" asked Pat.
” All about you,” answered the magistrate, “ is that you are found guilty, and must therefore keep the peace towards all his Majesty’s subjects for twelve months.” “ Well, then,” roared Pat, as he left the court, ‘ Heaven help the first furriner Oi meet!”
