A Stupid English Law,

A correspondent Of the London Times
calls attention to q peculiar statute that
exists in England by means Of which,
under certain conditions, the person
who gives an alarm Of fire is held re-
sponsible for the cost involved in put
ting out the fire. A farmer In one Of
the Midland counties discovered that a
fire had been set, either accidentally
OF Intentionally, to a hay rick In a
field through which he was passing
and instantly ran and gave an alarm.
The fire department Of the adjoining
town responded and put out the fire,
saving thereby hay to the value of
about 500. The expense to the fire
department, however, was figured out
at approximately $50, and a bill for
this outgo was sent to the owner Of the
hay. He refusing to pay it the respon.
sibility fell upon the person who had
given the alarm. and the farmer in
question who had done what anyone
would call an act Of charity had to pay
tho $50 out of his Rocket.
