, A gentleman who once served on an Irish Jury tells an amusing story of his experiences. When the hearing was over and the jury retired to their room to consider their verdict, they found that they stood eleven to one in favour of an acquittal, but the one happened to be a very complacent old gentleman, who rested his chin upon the head of a thick bamboo caue, and announced defiantly that he was ready to Btay there as long as any of them. The hours dragged on, evening arrived, and the old gentleman obstinately held out- The other jurors wearily arranged themselves to make a night of it.. From time to timt the old gentleman would contemplatively suck the head of his cane." Finally, he fell fast asleep, and the cane fell heavily to the floor. Then one of the jurymen picked it up and found to his surprise, that it was hollow, and filled with good old Irish whisky. The thankful eleven passed trie cane round, relieved it of its contents, and then awakened its owner. Slowly he lifted the cane to his mouth, sucked ineffectually for a moment, looked at his watch, and then arose with the announcement, “ By’s, I’m afther changin’ me moind !” The Misses Lavery, who have been in business in Te Aroba for some years have decided to retire from business owing to the ill-health of one of the firm.
