CIRCUMsTANTIAL EvTDENCE.-The Lon
don Globe publishes a statement which is
an illustration of the danger of relying
upon circumstantial evidence, even when
it approaches positiveness. A gentleman
went to the British Museum with an order
TO have a case opened CONTAINING some
valuable medals for his inspection. He
exam ned d particular medal, which was
supposed TO be unique, restored It to the
tray and alter talking some time with the
custodian, was about to leave, when the
latter discovered that the medal was
missing. Ii was Sc rched for everywhere.
and c. uld not be found when it sug-
gested that the pockets of the visitor
should be examined. To this he objected.
and a policeman was sent for. However.
before he arrived the medal was found TO
have slipped between the tray and the
bottom OF the case. When asked why he
refused to be searched, the supposed
cuIprit produced media from his poke
the exact counterpart of that which was
in the case. and remarked that his object
bad been TO verify the authenticity of his
own. which. being ident' fed with the
missing one and discovered in his pocket,
would at once have convicted him of the
theft.
