21-8-1829 From the Times. A Philosopher.-Patrick Tuohy, a stout little fellow, dressed in a long frieze coat, a body coat of the same material, thick cordurey pantaloons, and worsted stockings, and having an O'Connell green hankerchief tied loosely about his neck, was brought before the magistrate, on three specific charges-being drunk, ill-behaved and noisy. Magistrate-Well Mr. Tuohy, what have you to say to this?. Tuohy-All I have to say, your Worship, is, that it may be true, or it may be false, I won't dispute about it. I know this, however, and I am quite positive of it, that last night I took as much whisky as would make three men, twice my size, drunk, but for all that, I don't remember being drunk, I don't remember being ill-behaved and I don't remember being noisy. Watchman-I never in the whole course of my life saw a man so drunk; he was stupidly, sleepily drunk, when I first had hold of him in Sackville-Street; and then when he found himself in custody, he beat me, and I thought he would have torn down the watch-house. Tuohy-All that may be true; but if you were to kill me for it, I could not say whether it was or not. Magistrate-Very well, Mr. Tuohy, I shall take a peace information against you. Tuohy-Very well, your worship, you may or may not, fer all I can tell. Magistrate-And I shall send you to Newgate. Tuohy-Very well your worship, I am thankful to you whatever you might do. If you massacred me, I would say I was obliged to you. I drank an immensity, your worship. Magistrate-Remove him, I shall consider what to do with him. Tuohy-I am really obliged to your worship; but the whisky was very good, and I drank plenty of it. I drank twice as much as I could hold. Mary
