LAW AND POLICE.
At Bow-street on Friday the Hon. Henry Plunkett
was fined 41., and a young man named Dukes 205., for
assaulting police-constable Latter, 51 F. Mr. Plunkett
positively denied the charge, and said it was not likely
that he should strike the policeman as he was obliged to
carry his left arm in a sling, and his right hand was
severely cut. The Magistrate admitted there was a
great improbability that a blow could be struck with a
sore hand, but he was obliged to give credit to the
statement sworn to. Both the defendants conducted
themselves very peaceably at the station-house.
On Friday, a native of Germany, evidently of disor-
dered intellect, applied at Kensington Police Court for
an order to see the Queen. The Magistrate had left, but
the Chief Clerk, after putting some questions to the un-
fortunate man, eventually persuaded him to go to the
Saxon Consul, whose address was given him, in the hope
that steps would be taken to prevent his being at the
present moment an annoyance to her Majesty at Windsor.
Mr. Smith, of the Harbour Master's office, who has
been repeatedly examined at Lambeth-street on a charge
of seducing a Mrs. Hunter, of Greenwich, and stealing
property belonging to her husband, was discharged on
Friday. It has been observed that Mr. Norton has more
of these crim. con. cases brought before him than all the
other Magistrates together.

The report of the Commissioners at Paris, appointed
to inquire into the project for erecting a monument to
the memory of the late Emperor Napoleon, states that it
should be " a sarcophagus of granite or porphyry, of a
noble and rigid style of sculpture, and erected on an
imperishable basis," and that besides the tomb and crypt
to be erected in the Invalides, there should also be an
equestrian statue of the Emperor on some spot near the
hospital, on the outside. The reasons for this plan are
thus expressed:—" Inside the Church, the tomb—out-
side the statue ! Nothingness in the sight of God !
Glory in the sight of men 1'

A Yankee s a sick debtor in

him a visit, but found him so feeble that he warn't able

the same distressing state of debility.
