ONDoN, Jan. 19.-when French
literature is marshalcd into an
English police court the proceed
ings are always grotesque. These
proceedings are founded on a dear old
obscure prints act OF 1857. a year
branded by similar acts OF violence and
virtuous excuses. This week Sir AL
bert de Rutzen, I.ondon's chief magis-
trate. had before him a summons
against a bookseller, calling upon him
to show why 279 books by BalzAc
should not be destroyed. "Droll
Stories" were read aloud in court with
particular attention to the noble prin-
ciplcs Of emphasis and conference. IL
was unanimously conceded that the
book reekcd from cover to cover. Sir
Albert said:
II do not wonder at the summons.
