Another man investigating the extent of the damage to the glass some time later felt through the .opening, and was'also slightly injured. Later on, George Dickie (57), a plumber employed by the City Council, was commissioned to repair the damage, and to substitute iron sheets for the plate glass. He removed a piece, of glass to make room the iron, and then stepped back into another sheet of glass, through which he fell 20ft to the ground. He sustained a fractured arm, a damaged rib, numerous abrasions, and shock, for which he was treated at the Melbourne Hospital. They all fell in!

The “Debars,” as it is commonly called, was one of the cluster of newspapers which sprang into being with the beginnings of popular government in 1789. It was founded by a printer named Bandoin. and purported to be, as its name shows, a mere chronicle of political events. Owing to its pungent criticisms of men and affairs it soon became one of tiie most influential of the Paris journals. In 1805 the paper was compelled by Napoleon to change its name and became the “Journal do I’Empire.” It was in the course of the correspondence which took place between Napoleon and the editor, Fievee, on the subject of the threatened censorship that Hie Emperor gave the order which has become famous, about the policy of the newspaper, “that it should publish no news unfavorable to the Government urttil the truth was so well known that publication was needless.” After Napoleon’s retirement to Elba the paper resumed its old title, and it is that event which hss been celebrated. “My Brand is GOLDEN EAGLE—prefer the.
