Prisoners at Botany Bay Said te Mave Invented Idea to Relleve the Mo neteny eof Their Existence Spread to United States. Kangaree court is am expression which, however strange it may be to the laymag, is familiar te most United States marshals, post office inspectors and the pelice forces of large cities, remarks a writer in the Detroit News. What it really stands for is explained . by a post office inspector who has had much experience with offenders and criminals, It appears that in a number of the larger prisons in this country the pris- oners, from time to time, are accus- temed to held what they call kangaroo court, and that every notorious crim- inal in the United States is probably 'net omly familiar with the term, but has no deubt presided often enough as judge or prosecuting attorney in this relation, or perhaps has been tried for some of the numerous mock charges that are preferred against those who have the misfortune te be haled befor: such a tribunal. ! Such a court is held only in the great prisons of the country, being entirely unknown in the country jails. | The Institution of kangaroe court - seems te date baek some 40 years In Skin Troubles ---- Soothed ---- With Cuticura ON AILMENT With Ness on CRED IN GUS CONDITION.

In the days when Australia was a penal colony the comvicts at Botany Bay, by way of amusing themselves and relieving the menotony of prison life, used to organize a sort of mock court at which the shrewdest and oft- | en the werst criminals of the lot pre- sided as judge, while others acted as Jurymen, prosecuting attorneys, ball- iffs, eriers and the like. At such trials the prisomers were wont te take en recent arrivals from England on all manner of mock charges, such as smering tee loudly, washing' their faces with soap, and se on. If it was found that ameng the batch eof new-comers, convicts just from the old country, there were sev- eral who possessed money, court was immediately convened sand the ones suspected of having funds were haled Up on the charge of having red hair or ' wearing box-toed shoes. The trial was held with mock gravi- ty and decorum, and in the end the prisoner would be found guilty and fined whatever amount he was known te fave on his person for the offense charged. The money thus obtained would be divided among the old, long- term convicts, who weuld buy tebacco and other luxuries with it, while the victim of this form ef extortion would preside as judge or sit on the Jury at the trial of seme mew arrival. have no receurse except te await the | time when he himself got a chance to mer eg TT v ve qe . mts BRIEFS FROM WELLINGTON A Budget of Personals And News Notes.
