Jepson: "Why is it that men merry widows?” JobsonThey don't. It is ths widows that marry theca." Assaults and outrages by larrikins tn and around Melbourne continue. A constable at Northoote, who was arresting a brick carter for obscene lenguage, wae set upon by his two mates, who treated him very roughly. Finally they pushed him through ths window of a draper’s shop. The constable had lost his helmet by this time, and his clothe, were so muoh oovertd with the duet that the draper and his assistants did not recognise him, and promptly threw himself and his prisoner oui of the shop, This mistake encouraged the larrikins, who renewed their attaoka upon the oonetable till st last bo fell, fainting from exhaustion. The arrival of another oonsteblf put an end to the disturbanoe, the roughs clearing nut. Ths first constable was Unconscious for two hours. In another ease, at Collingwood, where a young fellow Wae arrested for threatening his father with a rifle and a .word, a crowd followed the police and stoned them.
