Police Court Figured In Oliver Twist, An almost forgotten link with Dickens is In danger of passing into total obseurity. ! At numbers 52 and 63 Hatton Garden, the home of diamond mer- chants, is to ba seen above an old- fashioned doorway a coat of arms in stone, and one feels the Dickens at- moaphere the moment the threshold is crossed. This is one of the en- trances to the old Hatton Garden po- lice court, where Oliver Twist waa charged with stealing a handkerchief from Mr. Brownlow. The fact that these buildings were once a "lock-up" and are a link with Dickens does not appear to be gen- | erally known among the business | people who now have their offices in them. The housekeeper told an inter- | viewer that she knew thé place was once a lock-up, that it had a history, and that Dickens had written about | it, but beyond that she could trace | nothing. The wide staircase with carved | | banisters remains, and the hall and landings give one the Impression that this part has changed little since Dickens' time. At the rear, in Hat- | ton Yard, were the jailers' quarters, | where the male prisoners used to march off in single file to, old Cold- { bath Fields Prison. | Mr. Maurice Murphy, of King's | Cross Road, Qlerkenwell, whose uncle | was a jaller here, says: "On each prisoner's right wrist was J fixéd a handcuff with a hole, through | which a chain was passed from the first man to the last, and padlocked at both ends, so that if one or two wanted to escape, they would have to take the whole crowd with them. The | route taken was through Great Saf- fron Hill, up Pickled-Leg Walk | (now Crawford Passage), through Coldbath Square, and straight { referred to by Dickens in 'Oliver | Twist' as Mr. Fang."

One day he was cycling along a broad road, when he espled ahead a lady, also cycling, who was 'wide of figure, and uncer- tain as to steering. Fearing an acci- dent, Miggleton reluctantly rang his bell, gently and politely, of course. The lady ahead promptly wobbled frantically, and ended up by dis- mounting with more speed than grace. Miggleton hurried to her assistance, to be met with the spite- ful remark, "Do you want all the road?" 'No, madam," replied Mig- gleton courteously: "I abominate sel- fishness.

The Sunday Times, which publish- ed the memoirs serially in London, cut out many offensive paragraphs which London has now learned were included in the version as published in America. One of the things seis- ed on waa the frank discussion of the physical unpleasantnees of having Robert Louis Stevenson in her house when he was suffering from tuber- culosis and the description of the ners and his disease, Scots who knew Stevenson have been busy writ- ing to the Sunday Times that it was a gross libel of the writer's memory.

Good-looking Heroines. "George Eliot sometimes wrote as if jealous of .the good looks with which she had herself endowed her characters, Mrs. Ward as {f readers would never visualize hers as good- looking enough without perpetual reminders," says Mr. Howland Grey in the Fortnightly Review. "How far they were creations and not drawn from life is a moot ques- tion still unanswered, for in the recent welcome fragment of auto- biography no confidences were made as to method of composition. If, as is constantly maintained, Mrs. Ward was deficient in creative power, then the daughters of our day, as reflected in her pages, show a predominance of sound minds in bodies of physical perfection, auspicious for the future of the race. "Her want of humor in her deal- ings with her formidable regiment of women is, of course, the scorn and Without the least gratitude to her for recog- nition of her own limitations; and merciful avoidance of forced effort to sparkle, they ask with some show of Justice when literary immortality has n attained by woman without the golden gift? If 'Wuthering Heights' towers solitary in the mind, its som- bre presence makes it logical to echo that 'Mrs. Ward will go down to posterity as the writer who has known how to dramatize in interest- ing fashion'not so much the life as intellectual tendencies of her gener- ation." \ Father Jay Retires. After thirty-five years' work In the east end of London, the Rev. Arthur Osborne Jay has retired. In 1885 he went to the neighborhood in Shore- ditch known as "Old Nichol." Sixty- four ticket-of-leave men lived in one street. ™ His first church was a hay loft over a stable. Before many years had passed he had succeeded in raising a fund of £30,000, with which the Holy Trinity Church was bullt on the worst spot in the Shoreditch parish. "Father" Jay was the original of the "Father Sturt" of Mr. Arthur Morrison's famous novel, 'A Child of the Jago."
