"The evidence went to show that Timothy had been found drunk in the street, but he was not communicative on the subject. He did not call the officer a liar after he had heard him give his evidence, nor tell the judge that he was an 'owld tief.' He said nothing until he was asked to take the usual oath. The Judge said: 'Mr. O'Neil, put your hand on the book.' Mr. O'Neil complied cautiously, fearing the result of his act. When the words of the oath were uttered he made the sign of the cross, and after being requested by the court, kissed the Bible. "_The Clerk._--What's your name? "_Prisoner._--The same as me father's. "'What was his name?' "'The same as mine.' "'Tell me your name or you shall be locked up.' "'Timothy.' "'And what else?' "'I haven't any middle name.'
