The MAYOR AND THE STRANGE
WoMES.-Msyor Wood has remarked,
that the person who Informed the lady OF
the name Of "Jans Ann" that he gave the
order In relation to strange women re-
ported by her, was either romsncer or
had been misinformed What his honor
did order was this: ''Thst the police
should discontinue srresting the inmates
of houses Of ill-fsme, or should collect from
them the fines imposed as well as the
costs" We understand the mayor to
assert that these women are arrested and
fined, bu. that only the costs are collected

If this 10 true-if the mayor has not been
misinformed-b order was very proper
but is he sure that Judges Bross and Bird,

purpose than to obtain costs from them

he is mistaken. And now 1t is in order
for the officers upon whom this suspicion
has been cast TO rise and explain.
