The following occurred at the Thames Court on Monday last. " Will you-swear you have had no beer this morning ?" asked Sergeant Clarke of a witness against whom a prohibition order had been issued, and to whom her husband was charged with sup plying beer. "I have had no drink this morning," was the reply. "Will you face his Worship and swear that you have not had as much beer since the prohibition order was issued as you had before?" protested the sergeant. "I have had no beer this morning," returned the witness. "And you'll swear that, with the breath you've got," said the sergeant in despair. "Perhaps you are mis taken, sergeant," said His Worship, blandly ;" it might be coffee." The sergeant gasped, then smiled, and finally gave the witness up in despair.
