Law for Ladies.—Why ought every lady nowadays to learn the legal doctrine concerning “wrong to the person”?

AT CONSCIENCE’ CALL
[“A Policeman’s Conscience.—Police-Superintendent Roberts, of Torquay, has won a splendid reputation for impartiality. He even punishes himself for breaches of the law. The other night while cycling home from Brixham his lamp went out, and yesterday he appeared before the magistrate, in response to a summons issued by himself against himself. He said a clergyman spoke to him on the subject, and this brought the offence to his notice. He was fined 5s.”—Daily Telegraph.]
Master Bob. “Please, ma, will you kindly chastise me? I’ve been at the jam again!”
Cabby (at police-station). “’Ere, I’ve just charged a fare sixpence too much, and I want a summons out aginst meself.”
