Prima Eacie Evidence.

Old things often take on new impressions under a new definition. A certain learned judge* famous tor his brogue and hit wit, was asked by a juryman what was prima fade evidence. The judge replied in his broadest Hibernian: "Supposin', me good man* you were goin’ along a road an’ you saw a man cornin' out of a public house—an' supposin’ you saw him dhrawin' the shleeve of his coat across his mouth, that's prima fade eridins that be waa after hayin' a dhrink.”—— Youth’s _Compenion. . _ _
