It happened in an Irish police court. An old offender was summoned for being drunk and disorderly. “Ten shillings or a fortnight," said the magistrate. “But. sir, I’ve only got two shillings in the world,” said the prisoner, "Well, you must go to gaol. If you hadn't spent the money on drink you would have been able to pay the fine.”
