ROUGH ON AUSTIN.
Extract from a Chicago paper : John Austin, arraigned in Justice Kersten’a court, to-day on a charge of drunkenness, told this sad story : 4 My name is Austin, and I was born in England. Yesterday I was reading a newspaper when I came upon some lines written by one - of my famity, an Austin, who is now Laureate of England. I read it through, and sought relief from my agony in drink. This is where 1 ended up. I don’t care now where I go.’ The Justice: ‘Did you read it all through ?’ ‘ Yea, your honour.’ ‘ Discharged. This man has had punishment enough.’
