Wharton had a quarter full glass of beer before him. The clock in the
house showed 10:30 pm and Wharton said it was ten minutes fast. Worby
then drank the contents of his glass.
It was said that no beer had been drawn after 10:00pm and time had been
called for other customers. Wharton had shared a bottle of beer, already

kind of trouble.

the two defendants paying 1s costs. |
