The firs was *What is a barmaid ?" and the second, "Was any braid employed by the defondant!" The old woman behind the bar was the mother of the defendant, and the two young women' were his sisters. The stter might be considered na barmaids if the prosecution showed in say His Worship As long as such a woman can way that they were employed there as barmaids.be shown to be taking a share in the business And it was surely necessary for the prosecution would say she was a barmaid.

Employment implied that there was contract or agreement.

His Worship What do you want a raling en ?. Mr. Grist-So far as I am concerned I don't ask for any ruling, but I think Mr. Wodehouse will probably want one.
His Worship-I think the evidence shows that the women were seen taking part in the business of the bar.
Mr. Grist-Take it that it is so. His Worship - Then I should presume they were employed there by the management unless I have proof to the contrary.
The defendant was then called and sworn. He stated that his sisters were partners in the business, and that it was carried on for the mutual benefit of his mother, his sisters and himself. When Mr. Wodehouse visited the hotel his sisters were in the bar, but neither was sorving liquor. One was playing the piano, and the other took money for liquor. He did not employ any women,

"WHAT'S HE FOR?"
Au Arohdeacon might tell this to a Bishop after dinner without the lesst qualm of conscience :---
The rector of a country parish, having Boat blankets, grocerice, coals, and some of the good things usual at Christmas to a eld parishioner, a lady expatiated warmly to him on the reverend geetleman's kindness. Don't you think," she asked the old villeger, that it is very good of the restor to look after you like this, and, and you all these pice things!"
Good of him "exclaimed the old man in blank amazement."Why, what's he for?"
