ment OF ofLawrence street, between Fourth

ing. The deceased, widower, about 60

TIE police of the night force are com.
planning that Judge Lindeman deters
the cases in which they are obliged te
appear as witnesses, until the latter

this by reversing the order, when he
beats all night and are sadly in want o.
rest in the morning.
