THE PROTECTED CRIMINAL.

The following extract from the Graphic is worthy the consideration of those autho rities who have to deal with criminals :— " No one who is accustomed to glance at the police reports in the paper can have failed to be struck by the fact that our magistrates have a habit of frequently making/comments on cases before them which i < rather of a familiar than a judi cial character. A short time ago one of these representatives of authority took occasion to remark that if people leave a shutter open they have no right to com plain if a burglar takes advantage of the fact to rob the house. Nevertheless a gentleman who had been guilty of this unfortunate oversight had complained of such a consequence, and in spite of the magisterial dictum it must be confessed that the penalty was a serious and more over a somewhat irregular one for an offence of that kind. In like manner within the last few days Mr Commissioner Kerr, at the Central Criminal Court has delivered himself of the startling doctrine that a man who walks across Hackney Downs at night with a chain and locket exposed upon his waistcoat, must expect to be robbed. Unfortunately, the jury in this case, taking the hint from the Judge, acquitted the prisoner, of whose guilt, however Mr Commissioner Xerr declared himself thoroughly satisfied. Here, again, it will no doubt be admitted, on reflection, that the doctrine of the Bench was a slightly exaggerated mode of passing censure upon a presumed act of carelessness. But the fact is that it is too much the habit of magistrates and judges to regard prosecutions as a nuisance and prosecutors as a troublesome class to be discouraged if any fair opportunity appears to present itself. In the latter case the prosecutor was lemined that his proceedings would cost the country £25 or £30, which the taxpayers would have to find ; but perhaps the spectacle of a high way robber escaping under a sort of excuse, kindly proved by the judge himself, may in the long run cause more mischief to the taxpayers than even these would represent.

It is reported that M. Charles Lefevre, the French gentleman who races under the assumed name of " Mr T. Lombard," has just come into a fortune of over half a million sterling, left him by a cousin whom he never saw in his life. The gentleman in question died in America, ■whither he had emigrated many years since with the sum of £500, which M. Lefevre's father lent him when ail his other relatives turned their backs upon him.
