We Cannot report the answer to this apnea% for with
it the news from the Cache' Gurnee to an end. With
the Eincreas's Proclamation the transmission of intelli•
gentle stops.
The state of ajfairs is, indeeeri, grave. Pan. is in a
State of Siege. Paris, ever effervescent, has become
tumultuous. Exasperated against everything and every.
body that ean be blamed for contributing to the
disasters of France, it is wild with excitement that has
to be restrained. At the same time the fortified
Barracks isommarding the straight thoroughfares of the
Third Etepim are comparatively empty of tro >pl. And
if this is the state at Paris, what is the condition of
the army in front of the enemy General Froqeird,
after suffering heavily," appears to have retired in good
order," but there is no news of him. Marshal Mac-
Mahon has fallen book, covering the road to Nlncy.
Neither 000lnesa nor confidence is lost, says the Asia'
dcapatch, but it is necemary that Paris and France
should make great efforts of patriotism. This must
mesn that the reserves are to be brought up and • great
bettle fought between the entire forces of the two
armies. This is tbe necessity of the situation, nor is
it possible to imagine a position more difficult ,than
that of the Emperor. Fie is bound to accept bettle at
the earliest possible moment, yet he cannot but decline
battle until he has concentrated bis troops and allowed
them to recover the effect of their previous reserves.
They have learnt that the Mitr•illense they fondly
cheri-hed may be taken awsy from them ; nay, they
have discovered that he enemy possesses the arm they
thought exclusively their own. and can use it with
deadly effect. On the other hand, the forces of the
enemy, firm in the consciousness of victory, are con'
verging towards the heart of Lorraine.

110)IDAT.— Before the Meter (J. F. Hods's., Eel.)
B. D.vii Esq.. and .1. Bishop. Esq.
. . .

John WjUsa. liaria.and Ann Burt were summoned
for using abtiwre langasso ti P.S. Cousins and P.C.
George Ketch, in Prisms's-street, likely to incite to
bit sob of the pesos.
3lr Howard defended.

Davis asked that he and Bart might be allowed to
sit down.
-

Mr. Symonds said they could not make any diffrrenee
between thrm and oth:rsdefendants, nidee there was
wain reason.

lls•im M• lursee4reper
Mr. Symonds: 14 thorn anylv dy here to say ,so ? .
Mr. Howard said she wad not stand while giving him
Matt uctions.

On this she was allowed to wit, but Davis hid to
stand. She began crying in a helpless sort of way.
P.S. Cousins said last Thursday morning about one
o'clock I met Mr. Davis near Trinily Church. He
Galled me to him, and said " Comers. this is a --
pretty state of things," I replied " What's the mattes?"
He said, "Thete's that woman of nib a is on her
gamesagain." I said ' I can't help it," He said "No.
and I'm —to— if ever yr,u'll try to help it." I
asked him what he wanted me to do, and if be intended
to give her in elbirge if I went up to his house. He
said "No, I don"; went to give her in charge ; all I
want you to do is to go up and stop her tongue." t told
him I thought that would be • very difficult thing for
me to do, and I should not interfere. I
then left him. He went down the street, and I op.
At half-past one the same morning I went to the upper
end of the West walks to meet P.C. Ketch by appoint-
ment. sad did meet him there. Whilst we were to-
gether, Mr. Davis came to on. He said "Here, Cousins,
I want you to go and close all those windows." pointing
to the wiLdovra a the houses opposite where he lives,
adding, "I will not have thine windows open, for stroll
• low-lived set to look over my premises: there's
nothing but. set of whores cad rogut • live in those
cottages." Some of the bedroom windows were open.
an so were the windows of Davis's own house, end I
told him I shonld not interfere with the people's
•indossa—his were open as well. At this time some
people were looking out of their np-stair windows. He
was talking very loud, as he usually does at night, and
had been talking to me and Keech very loud for five or
sin minutes. He sad "No, I'm —if yoo will inter-
fere; there's the whole of the police, the insgi.trates,
and Mayor as well, who are all a net of whore-
, hunters." I told him if he made use of such an
eiptesaion again in the public street, I should lock him

Mr. Symonds : You °tight to have looked him up
theta; and if It luppena again, and you don't, you'll
omit your duty.
Witness : He then went indoors and called " Ann."
I and P.C. Keech went towards his house. They then I
both came out at the front door, and afterwards went
on to the top step. There they stood side by aide. He
said " Ann, what do you think these fellows have
been threatiming we with ? - they have threatened to
lick me up 1" She answered, " Yes, that's the
rogue by the side of Cousins who was standing here to.
night when my drawingaroom window was broken."
Keech washy my aide at the time, and he and I were
the only person* in the street. I told them both that
if they did not go inside, I should take them off and
lock them up. They kept oa cursing and swearing on
tip. door atep, and Keeell and I went towards them to
apprehend them, when Davis pushed Burt bark into
tip. passage with one hand, and shut the door with the
other. Whilst this was going on there was a man at
one of the windows opposite, who spoke to me. I could
hear both of them cursing and swearing Inaide, and
could hear some one besting as with a large hammer
the door and window frames, appatently for the annoy-
ance of the people theee. At about two o'clock I went
away. In the afternoon of the some day between three
and four o'clock. I was going up Prinera•mtreet. and an I
passed Mr+. Bye. house, I spoke to her through the
open window. Whilst I was talking to her, Davis
opened his window opposite, and said, "Aim, there's
that rogue Cousins over there encouragitte of that
party to insult we." He holloed after rue, "i3ousins,
I'm if I don't have that coat off your back."
Mr Howard objected to all this being given in
evidence.
Mr. Symonds said it arose on the same day and could
not be objected to.
Mr. Howard asked that hie objection might be noted.
Cousin,: I was not in uniform. Walking across,
said " I don't think any coat would fit you." He said
"I don't mean that, I mean your blue coat." Davis
then slammed the window to, and I went away.
Croas-ezainined: When I first met him I was in
police clothes, and considered himself one of the
custodians of the property of the town, and ready to
hear complaints from anybody. Did not notiee that
Davis complained to me of boys breaking his windows.
He did not ask Inc to take any boys into
custody. I don't know whether he did that
night, hut he frequently does say that he has written
to the Mayor or bent to the Mayor about me or 501 no
one el.. in the town. I may have said "I'll give you
half-a-crown to go out of the town, and Ann Burt
&neither to go with him." I would de an with the
greatest pleasure, for they are two of the greatest
tyrants in the town ; and especially if they had tot
money to pay their fare out. He did not mit me whet
I meant by insulting him in the street when he only
complained of boys breaking his windows. By "tyrant"
I mean that these two are more trouble to the police
than all the other people in Dorchester and Fordington
too.

Mr. Symonds. Then they would be what we should
call nuisanem—Haughter.fi
Witnees : Yes. What Burt said was from the door-
st..p. Davis did not then say anything about boys
breaking his windows. but Burt chl. I did not threaten
to loik up Davis when he first spoke to me by
Trinity church. Ketch wax on duty and in uniform. I
did not observe the windows were broken that night.
Have passed several times Mom, and looked at the
windows, but could not see any panes were broken.
P.C. Beech gave corroborative testimony.
Jonathan Arnold. butcher. said I live in Princes-street,
opposite Davis's house. After I was in bed about half.
past one on Thursday morning I heard a noime in the
street. I got out of bed, snd looked out of the window.
I saw • woman at Davis's door, and one of the police-
man attempt to catch her. The niii-e lie beard was
"disagreeable swearing" and foul language used by Davis
and Burt. Knew their voices, as I hear hem so ofteu,
two or three times a week all night—(laughter). I
heard Dsvis say to Burt "Come in, you fool, they'll
lock ,on up."
Crosaes•mined : The foul language proceeded from
Davia's house the door being wide open.
By P.S. &using : I beard Davis Ray the police,
magistrates, and Mayor were all whoremongers. This
morning Davin came to me and asked if I bad anything
to say agaiest him. I told him I had ; and then he
asked me if I would come and speak for him, and in his
behalf—he didn't mind anything if anyone would come
and speak in his behalf. I told him I should not do
any such thing. I did not tell him what I should say.
He iold me Cousins bad gunmoned him, and that be
thought it a very wrone case. I told him I thought
Cousins was doing what was right.
Re-eaamined : When Davis came to me this morning
I had not told him what I was going to say. He said
he thonght it was a wrong case. I said I thought
Calliioll was doing right. We then parted.
By Mr. Bishop : The had language 'Token from the
step of the door was addressed to the police.
His. Fanny Rye was called, and proceeded to speak
of what took place on Thursday afternoon.
Mr. Howard object-it that the defendants were sum-
moned for • joint offence against the two polioemen,
and therefore that evidence's against one ought not to
be taken.
Mr. Symonds took the evidence.
.She confirmed
Cousins as to the conversation between him and Levis
on Thursday afternoon.
Charles Vagg, butcher, Bril in the same house as
Arnold. heard at row at Davis's from seven to eleven
on Wednesday night.
By Cousins : This morning I was with Arnold when
Davis asked Arnold to speak for him, saying he would
not mind anything if he could,
Mr. Howard addressed the Bench for the defence.
He remarked on the peculiarity of the summons. It
was for inciting two policemen on duty to commit •
breach of the peace ; this, he thought, WU prepoateious,
for they were guardians of the peace, hail power to
take a person into custody, and amid not be incited to
commit a bteach of the peace. The defendants being
summoned jointly for &joint offence a.minst Cousins and
and Kerala, he maintained they could not acoept any
eyidenee when the several parties were not all present.
Cons.lnently the evidence opposite Trinity-church
niti-t be put aside.
Mr. Symonds said it would not be considered.
Mr. Howard then referred to what took place
at the top of the walks between the policeman and
Davis, remarking that Burt was not present, so that
could not bo conai tired. The only evidence they could
'

_
take was what occurred when all the parties were
present. He could not but express his regret that any
man should have made ti,e of the expresaions the police
said Davis did respecting the magistrates, but Davis
himself denied it.
The Mayor said they would not notice it.
Mr. Howard went on to say that the bad language
defendants used was on their own premise*And the only
incitement cansisted in Davis speaking of the policemen
saying "Those fellows," and Burt calling one of
them 'a rogue of a policeman." He urged that this
was no legal offence. In oonalusiou hi very strongly
oontended that • summons by the police for inciting to
• breach of the peace could not be supportsci, became
the police had the power in their own hands to stop it
by arrest.
Mr. Mymonis : Than because a policeman did not
sumo. his atinnuary power, he had no remedy ?
Mr. Howard: No; tithe defendant bad been law
