One of the score of policewomen in Sydney, Constable .Annfield, last week paid a visit to Hie residence of Albert Ernest Thomas, whom she suspected of being a fortune teller. She took with her another policewoman. Thomas received them both with great solemnity, and, after consulting the stars, promised Miss Ann field a proposal of marriage early in the new. ve3r from a tall, dark, handsome man, who would be woU endowed with this world's goods. Equally desirous of pleasing the other woman he undertook that her position in the world would change for the better very shortly. Such was the ingratitude of these policewoman that, without giving the predictions any time to come true, they took him along to the police station, where thev pointed out that he had charged each of them hulf-a-crown for reading the future.- The magistrate said that the lawdid not allow hira to impose a fine, so ho sentenced Thomas to imprisonment for six days, with hard labour.
