"An Irishman named James Mulligan, one of a pretty numerous list of "drunk, disorderly, and incapable," was charged by Police Constable Hurley under the following circumstances : at five that morning the officer found him in a court in Coleshill Street quite drunk, and making a great noise and disturbance. He was taken to the station, and brought up in regular course. He said he came on the preceding day from Coleshill, and meeting with a friend, "got drunk with drinking." According to the recent salutary regulation, he was fined 5s. and costs for his antics : and the ususal interrogatory being put, "Had he any money?" "Yes, your worship, £1. 2s. 1d.," said the police. "Och, by the Powers" said McMulligan, "didn't I have at laste £7. 10s. in my pocket when I came to this town£" This might be true, but drunken men's money becomes sometimes "small by degrees and [not] beautifully less."
