AND THEN THERE WAS . . .
This month's Prize Winner is Alex Gibbons, P. J. O'Driscoll
& Sons, Solicitors, Bandon, Co. Cork.
And then there was the newly qualified solicitor whose
client was pleading guilty to a charge of drunken driving.
He appealed to the District Justice not to be too harsh in
the circumstances as " my client was returning from his
sister's wedding, which would explain why he was as drunk
as a justice". The D.J. did not take too kindly to his remark
and barked " I think if you check it you will find the saying
is 'as drunk as a lord'." To which our fledgling colleague
replied "Yes, my Lord".
And then there was the man accused of drunken driving
whose excuse was that he was watching the snooker on
the T.V. The T.V. went on the blink so he went to his local
to see the result and had t wo pints of Guinness.
The Justice in summing up stated that this was a case
where the defendant sunk the black and got snookered on
the way home.
