"GUILTY" AS CHARGED.
ОглавлениеA Scotsman and a Jew were brought up before a magistrate charged with being drunk and incapable. Both pleaded "Not Guilty."
"What reason have you, constable, for thinking that the accused were drunk?" asked the magistrate.
"Well, sir," replied the policeman, "Macdonald was throwing his money about."
"Um! yes—I see! But what about the other prisoner?"
"Isaacs was throwing it back at him."
