"Oh, dear me-" said Augusta to the
maid, this is really too bad. Let US go
| home"
But meanwhile the crowd at her back
had gathered and increased TO an extra
! ordinary extent and was slowly inclosing
her in a circle. The fact was, that the
man who had followed her from Hanover
square had told the others who Joined
| their ranks who the lady was, and she was
now identified.
That's her, said one man.
"Who?" said another.
why, the Miss Snithers rs escaped from
the Kangaroo and has the viii on her
| back, in course.
There was a howl Of exultation from the
/ mob, and in another second the wretched
/ Augusta was pressed, together with the
/ lady's maid who began to scream with
! fright right up against lamp-post, while
| G crowd Of eager faces, mostly unwashed,
were pushed almost into her own. Indeed,

two policemen and a gentleman volunteer,

Now, Augusta was woman Of good
nerve and resolution; but this sort of thing
was too trying, and, accordingly, accom-

When Eustace, walking down the Strand
that afternoon, found every photograph
shop full Of accurate pictures Of the shout
ders Of his beloved he was simply furious;
and, rushing to the photographer who had
taken the picture in the Registry, threat
! cned him with proceedings of every sort
! and kind. The man admitted outright
| that he had put the photographs upon the
market saying that he had never siipu-
lated not to do so, and that lie could not
| afford to throw away five or six hundred
| pounds hen chance of making it came
in his way.

ing vengeance. 10 consult the legal twins.
As Il result Of this within week Mr.
James Short made Il motion fer an iniunc-
ton against the photographer, restraining
! the sale of the photographs in question on
| The ground that such sales being of copies
OF Il document vital 10 q cause now pend
ing in the Court, those copies having been

an officer Of the Court, DR.. Probate, the

! technically, ami for that purpose only, an
! officer Of the Court, and had, therefore, no
! right to part with them. or any Of them,

! remCnl bnrgd that this motion gave rise to
| some very delicate questions connected
| with the powers Of the Court in such a
| matter and also incidentally with the law
OF photographic copyright. It is also
| memorable Tor the unanimous and Iunin-
Gus judgment finally delivered by the
| Lords justices of Appeal. whereby the sale
OF the phIfozrgphs was stopped, and the
! photographer was held TO have been guilty
Of technical contempt This Judgment
contained perhaps tac most searching and
