Liquor at a "Social."
(Por Association .1 4 BUNEDO. May 23. In Ins summing up in a case m which a railway employee was charged with breaking and entering and stealing—in the course of which it wax shown that the man was under the influence of drink —Mr,. Justice Cooper commented scathingly on the fact that liquor figured so prominently at ft ' <ooitii ? function tendered to the Mayor oC Pa liner# ton South. "To my mind," he said, "it •ipeaks very badly for our civilisation that the young man abould he placed in the position of heing able to go to a 'social' in a country town, given by the principal citizens, and make himself so drunk a* to blunder into another person's house, and as a consequence finds himself? charged with committing so serious an offence as breaking and enteriug. I have nc hesitation m speak : ng out m this matter. It is disgraceful."
