Eleven o'clock and a windy night! might have been the cry of a medi val watchman at that hour on the 24th July 19. Constable Mulligan was more reticent, as it formed no part of his duties to intimate publicly the time or the state of the weather.

There was also a sprinkling of schoolmasters, professors, and students, attracted by the phraseology of the place, which promised cultured surroundings. The drainage was perfect and the morals were unexceptional So new was the suburb, that not even a slum had been evolved to mar its cleanliness.

The ten years' history of the locality was one of order, intense respectability, and consequent dulness. Only in a rogues' purlieus is life picturesque and exciting. Mulligan was a black-haired giant, somewhat dull, but possessed of a dogged sense of duty, eminently useful when taken in conjunction with brute force. He paced his beat in A.
