A LEGAL ACT.
Not long ago an officer of the London Schoul Board was crossing Covent Garden Market at o late rour, when he fouud a little fellow making his bed for the night in a fruit basket. "Would you not like to go to school and be well cared for?' asked the official. "No." replied the urchin. "But do you know that I am one of the people who are authorised to take up little boys whom I find as I find you, and take them to school ?" "1 know you are, old clap, if you find them in the streets; but this here is not a stieet. It iB privata property ; and if you interferes with my liberty, the Duke of Bedford will be down upon you. I knews the hacth as well as you.''
