"To turn one's empty glass or tankard upside down on a pubiie-liouso bar is a challenge to the best nun in thfl place to fight," remarked a Hoxton (England) witness in a polico court case. Tho Magistrate was mildly surprised. Apparently ho had neyer heard of the custom. Yet it is a fairly -well-known one, nor is it confined to any ono partioular locality, being common all over England. Neither is the above the only instance whore the usago has been mentioned in a court of law. Some time back a girl was murdered by her lover on Hackney Marshes. The accused man tried to prove an alibi by swearing that ho was drinking- in a public-house at the time whon the crime wns committed, and he fixed the day and hour by call™ as a -witness a man who had, he alleged, challenged the company to fight by turning his empty pewter pot upside down on the tap-room table. The witness admitted this, but ho also sivore that tho prisoner in the dock was not present at tho time, and the alibi failed. Two summer lines just opened.
