A NOVEL DEFENSE.

     A novel defense was set up recently in the trial of a drunkenness case in the mayor's court. The defendant explained his condition by saying that he had eaten cream and cucumbers and that they had made him Sick "just like liquor." But the court did not accept the explanation and a fine and costs to the amount of $15.35 was imposed upon him.
