STREET OFFENCES.

The Dailg Nara draws attention to the audacity with
which assaults and robberies now take place in the streets
of London. A correspondent describes half a dozen men
as rushing upon him as he was passing along Theobald's-
road, dashing him to the pavement and then plucking him
like a pigeon, a crowd standing round and covering the
robbers with their protection. The condition of success
in these cases ia the crowd. It is that which for the
moment neutralises the police, and strikes the
peaceful inhabitants of the neighbourhood with a
feeling of helplessness, while it proportionately
raises the confidence of the marauders. Either
we must place restrictions on the meetings, propos-
*ions, demonstrations, and the like, which bring crowds
together, or we must make considerable additions to our
polite force. The choice lies between heavier taxation
with a curtailment of liberty and a limitation of freedom
with our present police rates. In one way or the other
the balance between the efficiency of the police force and
the vigour of our dangerous classes must be redressed or
London will not be habitable much longer.
