London.s Rig Police Force.

The London police force, like all the
institutions of that vast metropolis, is ar
ranged upon a gigantic plan. The SUI
perintendents, inspectors, sergeants and
constables make up an army 10, 800 strong
IA truly formidable force, but none too
large when II is considered that the met
ropoltan police district extends over a
radius of fifteen miles from Charing
Gross, exclusive of the city of London
and its liberties, and embraces an area of
6S8 square miles, of ratable value Of
e33, 800, 900 per year. Over such an area
as this, including as IL does a population
of ., 300, 900 persons, there Is of course a
vast amount of work to be done; and 1t
must be borne in mind that the duties OF
the London police are not limited to the
taking into custody of criminals and dis
orderly persons aud the watching of pro-
perty, but include such duties as the car
rying out of the smoke abatement acts,
the inspection of common lodging houses,
regulation of street traffic, aud at certain
times tho onerous. duty of taking up stray
dogs, all OF which duties are anything
but light 10 town like London; nor are
they likely TO become less arduous, seeing
that during the year 1886, 12,252 new
houses were built within the police dis
trict, making twenty-nine miles of new

Appeals Court.
Court for the trial of appeal cases was
held on Wednesday. Two cases only
were tried The first was that of Philip
L. Hawk, appellant, VS.. VIM. II. Hocken-
bury. This was second suit brought by
Hockenbury VS.. Hawk for an alleged
breach of warranty on the sale of 81
sheep sold by Hawk to Hockenbury in
1884. The first suit had been disposed Of
in Hawks favor, and the present suit
was to recover damages said to have been
sustained since the first trial The Court
non-suited Mr.. Hockenbury on the ground
that an action for breach of warranty is
an entirety and that the first suit was a
bar to the bringing of another suit on the
same contract. The second case tried
was that of John b. Weller VS.. e. b..
Allen. Allen had sued Weller for the
price OF a case Of wine which he alleged
had been purchased at bis drug store on
order of Weller during the Fair of 1886.
In the trial before a Justice, Allen So
cured Judgment, and Weller appealed.
The principal witness against Weller was
one Ellis Hoffman, colored waiter, who
had charge of the refreshmens room on
the Fair grounds during the Fairoi 1886.
He swore that Weller ordered him to buy
the wine, while Weller as positively tes-
titled that he had not given such order,
and that he found the wine on the grounds
and Hoffman drinking of it when he en-
tered the building on the day 1t was al
legged to have been delivered. The jury
gave Allen verdict Of SAC 1S. No one
10 Clinton or elsewhere, who Is familiar
with his character, believes for an instant
that John b Weller would dispute or
make an effort TO shirk the responsibility
of his just debts. There is evidently a
mistake somewhere. -Hunterdon Demo
