trial at Leeds for the murder of Air.

'Justice Lopes, the seciondrel, with
his hated upon Iiis heart, made Lock-
wood one of tlie most, eXceeleite bows

Peace was an extraordinary Rood -
men of the genus criminal. It is a
pity that Lembroso, the great pro-
feseor of criminal antheopology. lead
no opportunity of studying him.
To the small !hours of .the neorniug
of October 10th, 1878, a policeman
deamed Robinson, While goiag his
rounds in Si. John's Part, Diacte-
heath, obsoevod a flickering light in

Mom Socering the assistance- of
another constablo and a police -ser-
geant, he set to Work to investigate

ficers approached the house cautious-
ly, disposing themselves, so as best
to cut off the escape of the burglar,'
if he made a dash for liberty, and
then orie of thern rang the house -
bell.
The light Immediately disappeared,
:and the next moment a man softly
jumped out of the dining -room win-

"Keep back!" he erid. "Keep oft,
or, by Heaven, I will shoot you!"
"Von liad better not!" retorted
Robinson,
The coiswer was tlie sharp cracle of
a revolver, which the bore -lax pre-
sented at the officer's head. Four
times afterwaeds was the eveapcin
firod before Robinson eucceecled in
grappling with his quarry. •
"I'll satle you this time!" shouted
Ithe scouniclrel. Anil the sixth shot
was fired, taking effect in the con-
stables arm. .

"settled" nor discouraged. Ile hurl-
ed the num to •' the ground, and,
grasping the revolver, applied its
beat to his prisoner's head so effeota-
ally as to portially stun him. Then,
the sergeant and tho other constable
corning to his aid just in the nick of
time, when • Robinson was sinking
from loss of Tilood, tlie ruffian was
secured.
Tho prisoner was a little, sinewy
fellow, meanly dressed, and evident-
ly, by his white hair,Considerably
advanced in life. Apparently he was
a. mulatto. His face was a 'deep
ibrown.. iXis fecteares were anything
but prepossessing. The revolver -a
oix-chambered one -was attached to
his wrist by a stout leathern strap.
'All the chambers of the weapon were
now enainty.
The police regarded their capture
as one ol considerable importance. If
:they lied needed further ground for
eus•pecting their prisoner to be as
desperate a rulfilan as any constable
could hope to capture, it was afford-
ed. by the burglar's making a sudden
fearful effort to break away from

amiable, harmless personage, against
whom it would be hard to believe
any evil.

face as lie surveyed him thoughtfullY,
biteng the top of a quill- pen as he
did so; the keen eyes, which, could
listen with. such hincittess, penetrat-
ing with that peculiar glance which
made ITawkine's eyes a terror to
scoloodrels; the grim, 'deep -lined face
set as if hew.n of stone.
• It was a desperate case, as far as
defence went. Mr. Montagu "Williams
pleaded that Peace only wished to
frighten the ppliceman, else why did
he not hit him? He lied fired six
shots at aim.
• "What a pity it was, if he did not
wish to kill him, that he did not use
blank cartridges!" observed .ftistice
Hawkins sarcastically. And in a
very few moments the jury returned
their verdict of gvilty.
Montagu Williams had done His
best; it now remained for Peace to
try his powers of eloquence in miff -
gallon ..of the sentence to be passed
upon him. He did it, and mode what
termed. "a 'piteous appeal for
mercy." Wrirging his hands, shak-
ing his white hairs, and distorting
his face into a picture of the. most
awful contrition, he commenced. He
