LONDON STRIKE-MAD.
London had a police strike of its own seventeen yeais ago* and only Bill Sikes and his confreies want another. It was in a &enson of strikes — first by the postmen, who wanted permission to organise ; next by the police, who desired some suoli privilege ; then by the Grenadier Guards, who complained of overwork in a period during which recruiting had been exceptionally slack. Tho police strike led to disorder and disorganisation for a coup!* of nights, and then Sir Edward Bradford won. The Grenadiers wei'e sent to Bel* muda to fini&h their sulks. The man iv the street is not satisfied -even to-day, that the sentences upon their ringleaders were just.
