The sergeant, wishing to enter details regarding the ease in the station records, asked the officer. “ Where did you find the child?’’ “In Nebuchadnezzar street,” promptly replied the officer. There was a prolonged pause; then the sergeant turned to the officer, saying “How do you spell that?” The two policemen pondered the matter, and then the sergeant turned to the constable' and said: “ Take the hoy out and sot him wandering agaia, hut this time in High street. ”
