How the London Thieves Steal.

1t is hard upon people who are on genu-
inc search for lodgings that they should be
subjected to suspicion in the houses they
visit, but the thief or thieves whose happy
hunting ground is any place where he sees
apartments to let" is again so active that
the police are obliged to warn landlords
and landladies to receive all visitors with
caution. The lodging house thief has one
popularity. He devises pretexts for being
left alone ip a room and then secures his
pocketable booty.
We hear that the police are also deeply
interested in another class of thief who
hovers about the doors of banks. If an in
nocent looking messenger of tender years
comes out with money the thief bears
down upon the unsuspecting child and
surprises him or her into surrender of the
cash by a bold statement that mistake
has been made, that the check has to be in
dorsed, or something of that Sort We
should have thought this particularly
hazardous enterprise for the thief in these
days of sharp children, and it ought not to
be long before the police make capture

DIPPED IN BOILING OIL.
Trying Ordeal in Ceylon to Detect
Culprit from Several Suspects.

Culprit from Several Suspects.
Recently the district judge at Kalutara.
Ceylon, had before him three persons, in
cluding village headman, charged with
causing grievous hurt to four others by
requiring them to plunge their right hands
into caldron of boiling oil. The medical
evidence described the hands as being in "a
sodden, suppurating condition" the fingers
being in some cases deformed. In all
cases the injured persons were unable to
follow their ordinary avocations for about
month.
The facts of the case, as stated in the
judgment, were these: A woman in the
village had some plumbago and rice stolen
from her; headman made inquiry, and
falling to obtain clew to the thief an
nounced that it would be necessary on the
third day to hold an ordeal by boiling oil.
This appears to be not uncommon Gus
tom in remote parts of the country, and
formalities are as follows: Some oil from
newly gathered king cocoanuts is manu-
factured by one of the friends of the COM
plainant This is poured into a caldron
and heated to a boiling point. Each of the
suspected parties is supposed to dip his
hand into the vessel of boiling oil and is at
liberty to sprinkle as much of the hot oil
as he brings up with his fingers on the per-
son of the complainant, who stands close
at hand. An exclamation of pain on the
part of the suspected person is construed
into an admission of guilt. If no such ex-
clamation is made the innocence of the
party is supposed to be established.
In the present case the evidence estab-
lished that the pressure on the accused was
not merely moral; that they were forced
to dip their hands into the burning oil.
No force seems to have been used in bring
ing them to the scene of the ordeal. They
collected there in response to the orders of
the headman who, seated on a platform
opposite the vessel of oil, appears to have
acted as the presiding judge. Each of the
complainants deposed to the fact that he
was reluctant to submit to the ordeal, but
was forcibly dragged up to the caldron by
the other two accused and his hands
plunged into the boiling oil. They had
sufficient self control to abstain from call
ing out, except boy of II, who cried out
Justify and was thereupon pronounced the
guilty one. The judge took the fact that
1T was custom into account, but refused
to dismiss the prisoners with warning,
as suggested by their counsel. He fined
them 100 rupees each, with the alternative
of rigorous imprisonment for ten months.
