Academy
Both books treat Of double per-

is demon and the impOssibilities he
imagines are clumsily set The machinery
used by Stevenson is a drug. and the
impoNsibiliiies he imagines are set with
his usual neatness. Both books begin
with a preliminary narrative oE the events
described ~ witnessed by bystanders and
both hooks conclude with the written
confessions Of the hero who had caused
the events. Both books tell a story oi

In The Magistrates Court.

Magistrate Wells heard a case in
MS court today in which the chief
argument for discussion was whether
1t was a case Of identity or Of title
and whether the case belonged to the
criminal or civil court.
Annie Lowry claimed that Jim
peterson stole six pigs from her pen.
two of which she found in his DOS
session two months later and declar-
ed to be hers. Jim, on the other
hand. claimed that the pigs all be-
longed to him. and that any claims
that Annie might make we're unlaw-
ful. Several witnesses were put up
TO testify as to the ownership of the
pigs, but as their testimony varied as
TO the color and sex Of the pigs, suf-
hcient evidence was not given to show
that there had been any theft so the
case was dismissed.
