SOUTHWARK.
DisCRACMLCONDUCT AT TRH DOORS OF A CHURCH.

Two decent-looking men, named Sul/dna and Bouvier,
the letter exhibiting a black eye and scratched face, were
placed at the bar before Mr. Beecham, charged with being
drunk, fighting, and creating a disgraceful disturbance at the
doors of St. Thomas's Church, in the Westminster-rod.
Police-constable 124 L said that on Sunday evening, about
8 o'clock, as the congregation were leaving St. Thomas's
Church, his attention was called to the prisoners, who were
palling among the crowd, conducting themselves in a riot-
ous manner and insulting everyone who came in their way.
They then commenced fighting, and Bouvier fell against the
wall. The crowd at that time was very great, and con-
siderable confusion was caused among the persons leaving
the church. With the assistance of 140 L, he got the pri-
mer' away from the church, and would have allowed them
to go home if they had been quiet ; indeed of that they
commenced fighting again near Maudelay'a and then they
were compelled to take them into custody.
Mr. Charles Webb. the superintendent of the L division,
raid that he happened to be miming St. Thomas's Church
u the congregation was leaving, and he witnessed the die-
pipeful conduct of the prisoners and the greet forbearance
of the two constables. The latter were actually trying to
get them away, advising them to go home, when
they became no violent that witness directed the
O&M to take them into custody. Sullivan went
to the station-bode pretty quietly, but Bouvier
was extremely riotous and knocked the officers
about very much, and on the way kicked 140 L so violently
in the head that be felt ensured that be WWI disabled for
life. Hundreds of persons collected, and the utmost confu-
Woo VIM caused among the orderly and quiet passengers in
the streets. Bouvier was bleeding from the nose, but that
wen caused by fighting and falling against a wall before the
constables interfered. At the station-house he attempted to
strike witness.

The deleea;tta had nothing to say, only that they were
drunk._

Mr. Burnham told them their conduct was very bed, but
Sullivan did not appear to be so bad as his companion. He
should therefore fine him ss. or seven days ; but as for
Bouvier he fined him 20a., sad in default of payment com-
mitted him to prison for 21 days.
