Lord Mayor yesterday on a charge Of
breach of the peace and 'nciting to riot
and was required to give bonds in the
sum of $500. 1t was in evidence that
Mr.. Hetherington, who is well con-
nected. appeared in the public highway
wearing upon his head what he called
a silk hat (produced). tall structure
having a shiny lustre and calculated
to brighten ;imid people. AS a mat
ter of fact, the officers of the crown
stated that several women tainted at
the unusual sight. while children ran
screaming and a young man, who was
returning from a chambers shop, was
knocked down by the crowd and had
his arm broken. For these reasons the
defendant was seized by the guard and
taken to the Lord Mayor. In extenua-
ton the defendant claimed that he had
a right to appear in headdress Of his
own designing :" What was done ulti-
mately with Hetherington is not stated
Not that ii mattered much: he had
done the fearsome deed; he had invent

laid an irregular, childish looking

laughed heartily.
