OFFICIOUS POLICEMAN.  Mr. Joseph Pennell, the well-known American artist, has been engaged for some time past in making sketches of the effects of the light at the Clock Tower of the House of Commons. His sketches are intended to illustrate a series of articles on London which Mr. Henry James, the novelist, is writing for a monthly magazine. A few evenings ago Mr. Pennell stood, with his drawing-book in his hand, on the " rest " in the Broad Sanctuary, when a policeman came up to him and told him that he must not sketch there. Mr. Pennell asked, " IVIly not ? " The reply was, "You can't make drawings of public buildings." On the question being repeated, the policeman volunteered the further information that "There is a law against it." Mr. Pennell asked the policeman to find the law. On this the man went away, but did not return, although Mr. Pennell waited for 20 minutes. Subsequently a member of Parliament made inquiry of the officers of the House as to whether they had given any instructions which the police might have misunderstood, but they stated that they had given no instructions with regard either to sketching or to photographing the Houses of Parliament. The officers of the House, on the contrary, desire to act with every courtesy to artists , like Mr. Pennell.
