COMEDY OF TWINS.

EBENEZER ALBERT AND ALBERT EBENEZER. The Stevenage twins, Ebenezer Albert Fox and Albert Ebenezer Fox, aged fifty years, declare that their remarkable Jikeness to each other has once again led the wrong one into trouble, says the "Dailv Mail." Ebenezer Albert, wearing a large but-ton-hole, applied at the Ilitchin (Hertfordshire) Police Court on January 21 for compensation for wrongful arrest, declaring that his brother Albert Ebenezer should have served the seven days' imprisonment for poaching which he had just completed. Albert Ebenezer also wrote to the Magistrates that he was guilty, but the claim was dismissed. Only a few weoks before Albert Ebenezer was sent to prison for a month for poaching. On this occasion Ebenezer Albert declared that he was really guilty, and that the police had failed to notice the difference between the two men. Ebenezer Albert is a cheerful little man, almost'completely bald. Ho is sft. SJin. in height, and has a merry twinkle in his eye. His moustache is iron grey, lint nil this applies equally well to Albert Ebenezer. Tho only difference between tliem is that one lias the marks of five cuts on tho left wrist; the other possesses four scars on the right wrist. The close resemblance between tho two Iwwilders Stevenage. When young their father tied a red ribbon on tho arm of one and a blue ribbon on the other to distinguish them. Between them they have been convicted nearly 150 times for poaching, and they, state that at least a dozen times the wrong one received the punishment.
