MAX WHO C'Ol’LD NOT CKT AIM! KSTICD. LOXDON. Aug. dO. What happened In tho village ilig'istreel ol’ Wiekford. F-sex. on .SaLurtlay when n tramp is stated to have thrown a brick through a shop window is reminiscent of O. Homy’s story ol the man who could not got arrested, writes a correspondent. The people of \i iokford came out to look at tho tramp, the brick, and the hole in the window, and the tramp demanded a policeman. “He wants a policeman.'’ said one half of the crowd to the other. “That’s awkward.” said the other half, “the only policeman we've got is spending the clay at Chelmsford. ’’ They broke this news gently to the tramp, who hinted that it was a 1 ice state of things in a free country when a man could not get arrested when he liked. Feeding the slur, the* inhabitants asked him to he patient, and perhaps a policeman could he tonne!. I hey rang up the Billericay police station and naked for the loan of a policeman. But neither Billericay nor Jsiindou a neighbouring village, could spare a policeman. A depot a tion of some of Wickturd’s leading inhabitants waited on tec tramp and told him they were very sorry, but if he did not mind waiting until their policeman came home tley would try to make him as comfortable as they could. Protesting eloquentlv the tramp was prevailed upon to wait, and when tho Wick ford policeman ultimately arrived he was arrested with due solemnity. He was brought before tho Billericay Bench on Monday, when he said lie \.as “down anti out.” and wanted to be? arrested to get a night’s lodging in the police station.
