In 'the pale moonlight, but doesn't it remind one of Dear Quid Oireland. Thomas Ohiny. whose moniker sounds like a shocked expression, m!variably gives the name of a high police oiVicial when run m, and leers insinuatingly at that officer if he happens to be m court. His latest transgrossion was unmitigated blanky tn Truro-street, Ohrisfcchurch, m company with an aged - persou named George Nyo, • who was unsober. and also swore horribly. "I was pushed into it,'" said Thomas, and Magistrate Hishop found food for comment m thir. new e>ciise for obscene language, which once more recalls the how Imp; bellowdrama, "Did he Fall or was he Pushed-?" Thomas had reason to remark "Oh my !" when he was cast into a dunpeon flark for fourteen days, whilst \'ye had the option of producing; two vro'klen sovereigns or of doing a j month al the Port.
