Possibly through the law's delay in serving tha different hotels in the district with the necessary notice* in time, or the obtiinancc meanwhile of an independent supply of liqpor at then , home, the fact exists that on Saturday afternoon the weaker vessel—who, by t.lie way, is said to be the stronger drinker of tin , twain—was found in a mining ditch at Waiorongomai so helplessly drunk that .some of the boys meditated darning up Ihe ditch, to that .she might experience a thorough external soaking as well.
