But all agreed that he was a sharp one; who would surely make his fortune, and without passing through the police-courts, either. "How can our father and such a man be so intimately connected?" wondered Maxence and his sister. And they were lost in conjectures, when suddenly, at an hour when he never set his foot in the house, M. Favoral appeared. Throwing a letter upon his daughter's lap,
Besides, you can't do these mad freaks now: there are too many police-courts about." "By force? No," the old lady said. "The girls I speak of were as glad to run away as the men, I can tell you, and they did it, too, when their relations were against the match." "Of course, if both he and she are agreed, the way is as smooth now as it was then: you don't need to care much for relations."
At present magistrates have not this power, for though, as a matter of course, these institutions receive numbers of boys and girls from police-courts, the institutions have the power to Refuse, to grant "licences" or to "discharge." So it happens that the meshes of the net are large enough to allow those that ought to be detained to go free.
She got as good as she gave, though, the wretched woman. 'You are a thief and a bad lot, I told her; 'you will get into the police-courts for all the things that you have stolen from the gentlemen, and she shut up." The clerk came out to speak to Schmucke. "Would you wish to be present, sir, when the seals are affixed in the next room?"
The rest may come out of the public till, in the form of exemption from taxation of church buildings and lands, a share of the public funds for charities and schools, the control of the police for saloon-keepers and district leaders, the control of police-courts and magistrates, of municipal administrations and boards of education, of legislatures and governors; with a few higher offices now and then, to flatter our sacred self-esteem, a senator or a justice on the Supreme Court Bench; and on state occasions, to keep up our necessary prestige, some cabinet-members and legislators and justices to attend High Mass, and be blessed in public by Catholic prelates and dignitaries.
It is pleasant to put on record here Mr. Bradlaugh's grave approval of the heavy work done in the police-courts, and the following paragraph shows how generously he could praise one not acting on his own lines: "As I have on most serious matters of principle recently differed very widely from my brave and loyal co-worker, and as the difference has been regrettably emphasised by her resignation of her editorial functions on this Journal, it is the more necessary that I should say how thoroughly I approve, and how grateful I am to her for, her conduct in not only obtaining bail and providing legal assistance for the helpless unfortunates in the hands of the police, but also for her daily personal attendance and wise conduct at the police-stations and police-courts, where she has done so much to abate harsh treatment on the one hand and rash folly on the other.
"You must live it down," answered Canon Pascal; "go on, and take no notice of it." "But it hinders my work sadly," said Felix, "and I cannot go on in the Brickfields. There might be a row any evening, and then the story would come out in the police-courts; and what could I say? At least, I must give up that." For a few minutes Canon Pascal was lost in thought.
They have learned no occupation, trade or handicraft; they have passed from school age to early manhood without discipline, decent homes or technical training. When at liberty their homes are lodging-houses or even less desirable places. So they pass from the streets to the police, from police-courts to prison, with positive regularity.
America what's he going to America for? and with that brooch, and him locking us up every night to sleep in cellars. Police-courts and Old Baileys," said Miss Junk, frowning. "I don't like it, Sunbeam, and when you're married to Mr. Beecot I'll be that happy as never was." Sylvia opened her grey eyes in wide surprise and a little alarm.
Miss Manners carelessly took up the newspaper, and read the first paragraph which caught her eye. It was one of those mournful episodes which are sometimes revealed at the London police-courts. A young girl a lady swindler had been brought up for trial there.
