DUBLIN. Dec. SPECIAL to The Bee.
There IS very little crime i'm this city
and consequently arrests are few. The po-
lice chief fancies, however. that the con-
stables are neglecting duty and an order
has been issued calling upon commanders
70 file monthly a report. The order says.
"Constables on day duty who have not
summonses or arrests during the month
are TO be reported and brought before me
at the latter end Of the month-also ser
geant in charge Of such constables-as de-
faulters."

Stoker sale Draws Dealers.
Sir Thornley, stoksrs sale has gone on
gaily all this week. This sale has brought
nearly every British dealer OF note to
Dublin, and between times they have WIS.,
tied many Of the antique shops and picked
up treasures. The chief treasure Of the
sale Of silver plate went to John Hoble
Of Newcastle, England. who now possesses
some really unique specimans Of Jacobean
silver.
One Of the welrdest lots In the whole
collection Of curios was put up-the block
on which Robert Emmet's head rested af-
ter the decapitation. 1t only fetched g
small sum, which speaks well for the taste

freed From Jury Service.
A fussy old Irish county Judge named
Craig. who spends his time fussing among
law books which are bluemoldy from age,
recently discovered a decision hundreds of
years old and he applied II in decisions
which deprived thousands OF Irishmen
from serving as jurors. The jury list
has been reduced from 1900 jurors to 600.
The county court Judge stated that he had
followed the advice contained In a letter
from the adviser OF the crown in 1871
taking the view that occupation excluded
the persons indicated. and he also sub
mitted that by the acts of 1871 and 1873
the very small peasant class were delib-
erately excluded from being jurors. The
Kings Bench has reversed Craig.
Queer Case I'm Court.
In the Dublin court OF appeals, an ap-
peal from ~ inhabitants Of Inishmore was
heard against the action Of the revising
barTister in striking their names off the
list Of voters. No taxes IL was stated
had been paid on the island for over two
years. the county council OF Galway being
unable 70 get any person to collect. The
claimants contended that as there was no
collector they should not be disqualified
for non-payment Of their taxes. but the
court upheld the decision. II this decision
holds good Il would be possible for the
authorities TO prevent people from voting
/ by purposely neglecting to have taxes col
lected in a given year.
