THE COCKEREL'S VOICE.
BIRD THAT WOKE NEIGHBOURS Amusing evidence was given in a case at Scarborough, when Miss Ada Hirst, a logdginghouse-ke'eper, was iined £1 for keeping a cockerel which was a nuisance to the neighbours. The line would have been heavier, but she promised the magistrate to dispose at once of the fowl, a blue Alsatian cockerel. Mr Francis H. Elwiss, )a retired farmer, said the bird started crow ing between three and four iu the morning, and his household could not sleep. Ho had even known it to commence just after midnight. It iiad a loud clarion voice. Witness added; I have not slept since 8.16 this morning; it has given us a final benefit.. Another witness said the bird crowed iuceaantly, and had a peculiar tone—a funny back note.
