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. (Eva Tobin)
