A curious instcnce of the way law is
administered was shown in the Superior
Court at Litchfield, this week, in the trial
of Constable Maurice Noonan. He recently
attempted to arrest William Jones, a
Watertown, on an “absurd and utterly
unfounded charge of theft.” He struck
Jones across the face with a whip. For
this he was arrested, tried and convicted
of an assault, and sentenced to pay a fine

Quite’a sensational story has just come
to light in Greenwich. More than sixteen
years ago Sarah Waters, who was then
but four' years old, was taken from her
home by a Mrs. Augustus June, and

prescribed by law; Mr. Waters was a
soldier, and died during the war, and his

fortress of Vinoennes. It had historical
associations. ‘ ' ‘ Marshal Moltke re-
marked that they were not dealing with
questions , of sentiment or history.
Vincennes was surrounded by wood,
and therefore strategically indispensa-
ble to the German armies. Gen. Valdan
answered that he did not believe the
position was really of much importance,
he only wanted—and he begde the
Marshal’s pardon—to procure some
semblance of patriotic satisfaction to
the Parisians, etc. The Marshal was
inflexible, and Vincennes was aboutto be
abandoned, when M. d’Herisson ven-
tured to interpose: “Monsieur lo
Mal-echal, I ask your Excellency a
thousand pardons, but I believe you are
mistaken." “How so, Monsieur 1e Capi-
taine f” replied Moltke, looking at him
as if froma distance. “Why, the fort-
ress of , Vinceunes is not surrounded
with wood. The forestia indeed close
to it, but you cannot say that a fort in ’
the heighborhoad of a forest is sur-
rounded with wood.” “Ialsobeg your
pardon, Captain; the fort is completely
surrounded with wood. In any case
we can easily decide the matter." A
Prussian officer eagerly handed the
Marshal a colored map, which the
latter spread on the table. Sure
enough. Vincenues appeared buried in
green. “The map is wrong,” main-
tained M. d’Herisson. “There is no
wood on that side. Then, here, on the
right, they have completely forgotten
-to' indicate the camp of St. Maur.” The
Marshal began to doubt. “Let us look
at your map,” he cried, turning and-
