tended by l,l00 miles. 1t requires
5000 police to patrol and protect that

pie got accustomed to the infiction,
and, so far from having any dread of
exposure, actually seemed to take
pride in the notoriety thus obtained.
In fact many were to be found far
more ready to give their full names and
histories than the magistrates were to
| hear them.
