In no branch of tho law as It Is dispensed In Great Britain are such curious points to be found or a greater number of anomalies to be met with than In the criminal branch thereof. It may bo news to some people, for instance, to know that there are a number of thluga in existence which cannot bo stolen* such as a corpse, animals ferrc naturae?1. e., animals wild in a state of nature (with certain exceptions created by statute)?soil of the earth, etc. To attempt to steal nothing would appear on the face of It to be an Impossibility, much less a crime, Imfr m w> n n Imrlla4a4 ?y?fl? w UiUU lUUIVVCVI 1V1 uiicuipuu^ IV pick a lady's pocket which was subsequently found to be empty was found guilty of an "attempt to commit tlfeft," though. In fact, there was nothing in the pocket to steal. Any one lucky enough to pick up a sovereign lying In the road will be glad to hear that, If at the time of finding It he had no reasonable means of discovering the owner of It, and also if he did not at the same time conceive the Idea of appropriating it to himself, he will not be guilty of stealing if he keeps his lucky find, even if the rlghtfnl owner discovers and claims It. Moat people walking in the country must have noticed on numerous occasions boards or placards posted up lu woods, fields, etc., notifying In large IctterRithnt "trespassers will be prosecuted," but few are aware that such notices are utterly useless and no one need feel the least alarm thereat, there being no such offense known in crlmiDnl law ns such n trespass, ami u person could never he prosecuted for such an offense. They are. in fact, lu flie words of that eminent Jurist. Sir Fred prick I'ollock, in his well known work, "Pollock ou Torts," a "wooden falsehood." It Is a common fallacy to imagine that the crime of forgery consists In signing another's name, though In fact committing forgery consists In making and uttering any false instrument In writing with attempt to defraud: thus it may ho n forgery to omit n word from a document, and it will bo a matter of considerable surprise to many to learn that it Is possible for a person to forge his or her own name. A person, however, who fraudulently inserts another's name on a picture, thereby selllug It Q> tho work of some other artist. 16 not guilty of forgery, as a picture Is not an "Instrument in writing." The crime of perjury also does not quite "fit In" with the generally accepted Idea, which is that If a person, after being sworn on oath to speak the truth, swears falsely, he is guilty of such offense. This Is correct with the important qualification that the fact the witness has sworn to must be ninMexican Syrup for Coughs, Etc.

Thus, lr a witness on being duly sworn gave a false address on being a6kcd where ho lived, this, though untrue, would not amount to perjury, as the place where the witness lived would be quite Immaterial. That a person may be guilty of perjury though speaking the truth may seem a curious anomaly, but such nevertheless Is the fact, as the test of perjury Is not whether a person is speaking what he believes to be the truth; so. If a witness, for lustance, on being asked, "What colored tie was the prisoner wearing when you met him?" replied "red," when In fact he did not really notice, he would be guilty of perjury, even though the prisoner was in reality wearing a red tie when the witness met him. Numerous other instances of crimes which present similar curious points to the above might be given, and. in passing, persons taking out insurances against burglary might note that this crime can only be committed between iuw uoura 01 v p. m. ana o n. m.; mui breaking into a house by means of an open door or window is not burglary, although entering a bouse by sliding down the chimney is. Wo must not conclude this article without a short reference to a comparatively recent case in which a man not possessing the means to pay entered a restaurant, where ho ordered and ate a good dinner. As, however, he was unable to pay for the same he was given in charge and subsequently indicted for "obtaining goods by false pretenses." The case resulted in the prisoner's acquittal on the ground that he had not been guilty of any false pretenses. This individual therefore had a good meal on the cheap, but we should not advlso any enterprising reader to emulate bl9 example, as, although be could not Indeed be prosecuted for obtaining goods by false pretenses, it seems that he will still be crlmiually liable under the bankruptcy act for obtaining credit by fraudulent means.?London Tit-Bits.
