i7r Thistled AN Presence OF a scotch
Dixniiary.

II appears that it is an insult to
whistle in the presence of Scotch
dlgnitary. In the Musselburgh Police
Court, recently, a miIl.worker named
Nc Watt, was arraigned for this de-
meanor. His Worship testified that
as he was passing along the street, this
young man set up a loud whistling.
He called an Inspector of Police, who
cautioned the lad mot to do il again. "
But, later in the day, the incorrfgiblc
McWatt again meeting the Provost,
whistled ''as if. " said the great man
to provoke me to knock him down. 4"
He didn't do it, however, but caused
the arrest of the miserable offender,
W;io told the Court that he "seldom
walked IN the street without whist
ing 1t was way he had. He
didn't mean any insult, "If thochts
ike that" he said come into the
Provost's held, it's no my faut." The
was bothered. He couldn't
send the respondent to the Jail mere
" for whist!ing in the street, nor was
there any act of Parliament to forbid
that cheap musical indulgence. SO he
merely looked wise, and telling the
prisoner that "hc had better be care
tul, sen. him about his business.
