the parish of St. Jeremiah, winch the Parish Trustees were fencing in with a wall. Bones alleged that one-corner of their wall was advanced about ten inches on his ground, and as thev declined to remove it back, he kicked down the brick work before the moi tar was dry. The Trustees, having satisfied themselves that they were not only within their boundary, but that they left Bones some feet of the parish land to boot, built up the wall again. Bones kicked it down agaiu. The Trustees put it up a third time, under the protection of; a policeman. The inexorable Bones, inspite of the awful presence of this functionary, not only kicked the wall again, but kicked the bricklayers into the bargain. This was to

much, and Bones was marched off by rinthic vaults of the Court of Guildhall, for assaulting the brick- j Chancery. The catastrophe, if this layers. The magistrate rather were a tale, could hardly be mend-pooh-poohed the complaint, butCd, so the true story may end bound over Bones to keep peace. ! here.
