Bovore his depar- Gere from the building, he ebatted pleasuntly with Bereral persons that he met about the building and fa the Inapector’s office, and none dreamed that they Were exchanging their last words with him, On feaching home, he sat down to lus midday meal, and sectoed In bis neon! good humor and spirite, for Bo waa noted us the most thoroughly good-humored OMicer of the force. He was not at all excited, and Bitered no complaint of tilness; but when be had finished his dinner, be began to cough, at frst slight Jy, and then more violently Ho rose from the table on finding the sprs Somewhat annoying, d went to the wash-room, Where he was heard to epit and soon afterward to full, His farm ly at once went to ascertain thi Of the full, and found the wash-basin alinost fall of Bivod, and the Inspector lying on the floor, dying. Medical assistance was promptly procured, but it ‘Was too Late, for he Jasted out afew minutes, hu Fuptorod a blood vessel of the heart. Inspector Leonard was born tn Platisbargh, N. ¥., B Ang. 19, 1490, and came to this city when but one year old, Le was therefore in the prime of life when thas suddenly stricken down, His boyhood days Were not remarkable, if we may except the fact that he wos an uetive youth and as brimful of good na- ture as he olways was in after life.

He then took charge of the City Mull fore, In 1661 be was acnt to London as epecial detcet ‘cer (rom the United States to attend the * Work Exbivition” in the Crystal Palnco, and there be dis- pinyed such rare ability m# to win commendations from the detcetive ofMlcors of Scotland Yard. While In Englind, Officer Leonard studied the various Eu Fopran aystems, and obtained a very good knowledge oftier interior work, About this time he was ap- pointed Captain of tho Second Ward Poller, and in this position he stood with credit until the organiza hon of the Metropolitan Police force tn 1857, During Who excitement of thly tine Capt.
