We find in it no intimation that the police are to waft until they think their own lives are in danger before they shoot. Nor are they told that they must catch the racketeer in the commslsion of a. crime or tryirll to escape from lawful custody.

R's Weekly) Few people, who see the Guild- hall Giants, realise the history of these ancient figures. When Cor- inaeus, an exile from Rome, was celebrating the anniversary of his conquest of Cornwall (Carin wall) he was suddenly attacked by a band of giants led by Gog Magog. In the hand-to-hand fight which ensued, all the giants were slain, save Gog Magog, himself. was twelve cublts in height and the lower part of his face was wholly covered by a great beard. He. Ye- malning, attacked Corlnaeus with his long club and broke three cf his ribs. Ccdnacus, infuriated, re- doubled his efforts and gradually forced the giant backwards towardsi a neighboring cliff and then seizing‘ him suddenly by the waist, hurled him over. The cliff is known to this day as Lan goe magcg or the Giant's Leap. That is the story of the Giants. Early in the history of Ilofidcn, these two figures, which we call Gog and Magog but which are really figures of Gog- Mngog and Corlnaeus, became pop- ular effigies, which were carried 1n coyal progresses and other pageants. The original figures were in bas- ket work and covered with tinsel paper. Though twelve foot high, they were light enough to be carried through the streets and the two giants who were enemies in life, but as inseparable as twins in basket- work, must have seen great changes in the succession of monarchs. They stood at Bridge House (the South- wark end of old Lander. FY1459) W welcome Bloody Mary and. her Spanish Philip with Latin verses in their hands and when, later on, Elizabeth, her sister, made state en- try into the city on her Coronation day, she found the Giants towering above the Gate of Temple Bar, wait- ing for her, as impartially as for her sister and in their hands us ole- gant a. greeting in as Latin vuse. Again, after the Restoration, when the d Charles was crowned. they,_ the same Giants, welcomed a different king in different circum- stances, on either side of the tri- umphal arch, at the King Street end cf Chcapslde. Though the Guildhall suflered from the great fire in 1686, the Giants escaped injury only to p‘! =sh more ignomlniously 1n the year 1889 from the attacks cf rats and tnc slow incursions of woodwerms.
