London, Feb. ft.-When the Bow street police court opened for the re-examination of Cunningham and Barton, on the charge of having caused the erjriouion at the Tower of London, surprise was occasioned to the public by notices conspicuously posted upon the court doorways that no -perasa carrying a bag would be permitted to enter the*uildtng. In addition to this the notice* warnnd everyone that the police would search lU persona whose appearance or conduct induced the officers to place thein under suspicion.
