No man in his right senses would have attempted such a thing. On the Sergeant being questioned as to the character of tlie applicant himself (who ex plained that Jerome Hushion was a very peculiar kind of man — any one not knowing him not being able to distinguish whether he was sober or not, and that he had seen the nan the same day at dinner time, when he was perfectly capable of conducting himself) he stated that he was a decent sober man.
