Woolf°, a tall young man with his right arm in a string,
was brought before Mr. Paget with being drunk, dis-
orderly, making a disturbance at the house of Mrs. Cal-
man, No. 61, White Horse-street, Stepney.
Tho prisoner's mother formerly lived with him, and in
consequence of his bad conduct she loft him and hired an
apartment in the house of Mrs. Colman, who was parti-
cularly requested to deny that the prisoner's mother was
there when her son called. Re did visit the house several
times and demanded Some property of trifling value. He
was there on Saturday night, and on being refused admis-
sion to the house ho made a great disturbance and threat-
ened to rip up Mrs. Cadman with a knife. He forced
his way into the house and did considerable damage. He
throatenod his mother, and was removed by police-con-
stable Payne, 401 K. The prisoner attempted to kick the
policeman on the lower part of his person, and would have
succeeded if he had not stooped and retreated. He caught
the blow on the thigh just above the knee.
The prisoner said he had fallen from the mast-bead of a
ship and injured his arm. lie could not have hurt the
policeman because he wore carpet slippers.
Mr. Paget did not carp about that. He was of opinion
that the interference of the police constable was quite jus-
tifiable, and he should in this case adhere to a rule he had
laid down, to punish with as much severity as the law al-
lowod him, or to commit for trial, any person kicking a
police-constable. Ho sentenced the prisoner to be impri-
soned for two months and kept to bard labour.

A CURIOUS SCIENTIFIC FACT.—Had the people
in Paris been able to hear Queen Victoria deliver her
speech upon the opening of Parliament they could not
have received it as soon as they did by telegraph. Sound
moves at the velocity of three hundred and thirty-three
yards a second, consequently it would have taken twenty-
one minutes to go from London to Paris—in other words,
if the Queen had said "My Lords," at London at two
o'clock, at two hours and twenty-ono minutes the acute-
eared Parisians would have heard these two words. The
whole royal speech was sent to Paris by the electric tele-
graft in ten minutes ; consequently electricity outstripped
