THE MOSCOW STUDENTS AND THE POLICE.

It will be recollected that some time ago a rather
serious conflict took place between the students of
the Moscow University and the pollee force, with
regard to which the former lodged a complaint
against the latter. In consequence of a special com-
mand of the Emperor, a judicial inquiry was insti-
tuted, and the judgments, approved by the Emperor
himself, were published on the 30th of July.
The sentences are as follows :

District-Lieutenant College-Secretary Simonow,
for imprudent oondact towards the students, and in-
stigating the lower ranks of the police force and
other persona against the students, and, moreover,
for fuse denunciation to his superiors, and conceal-
ment of the real facts of the case—condemned to
lose his title, rank, and privileges, and to be de-
graded to the mak of a common soldier.
District Inspector Titular Councillor Mott sow, for
negligence, wrong acting, and concealing of unlaw-
ful deeds of the mud Simonow— condemned to be dis-
missed from the service for ever.

Supervisor Court-Councillor Zwiteniew, for negli-
genoe in the service—condemned to be dismissed from
the service for

ever.
The Ph, ankh Court-Councillor Litiejsw, for
giving an untrue mildest° on the state of health of
the students and a police- officer—to be dismissed from
the service.

Such an example of justice by the Emperor which I
fell like a thunderbolt on the heads of the overhear- I
ing caste of polioeetioers, who in Auntie belong to
the moat deeply lasted and despised clam of all 4°'l
vernment expkyls, has made an excellent im
upon all classes of society ; they hope that for lays
of arbitrary police rule Sr. game for ever, and that
the reign of law and justice has begun.
