Polio-constable Murrell, 80 C.
Murrell stated, that a little before one on Sunday morn-
ing, he was on duty in Lower Regent-street, when his at-
tention was attracted to the defendant, who was very
drunk, and fighting with another man. Witness requested
him to go away,when defendant swore,and told him he iru;a
gentleman, and would move on when he liked. Two other

ash was dispersed, and defendant conveyed to the station.

LAMBETH.
Mr. Bent, the inspector of polies aged* te the South
Western Railway Company, applied Mr. Elliott for a
summons against Mr. Sawyer, a gentlesesa nuking in New
Bond street.
It appeared that on the let instant Mr. Sawyer Bashed
from the west or arrival side platform, ;crowed the line of
rails, end, though warned by a constable, jumped on to the
narrow side board of an out train then in motion, believing
it to be the Richmond train, by which he wished to travel.
The train was in such rapid motion at the time that it was
found difficult to stop it, and the consequence was that the
gentleman, at considerable peril, clung to the side of a car-
riage, the' door: of which was shut, as far as the, Vauxhall
station, when he got off, and was removed in a state of
nervous excitement that he probably will forget. Had
he through the same thoughtlessness jumped onthe east side
of the train instead of the west, he must have been dashed to
pieces, and it was to make an example in this case and
thereby prevent a recurrence of the dangerous and hazard-
ous! offence, that the application for the summons had been
ordered by Mr. Scott and Mr. Young, the company's
officers.
The summons was granted.
WANDSWORTH.
Mr. John Church, the landlord of the Nelson public.
house, in the Wandsworth-road, appeared to answer a
summons for having unlawfully harboured Joseph John
Wall, a police-constable of the V division.
It appeared that Sergeant Murphy, of the same division,
while visiting the beats in the Wandsworth-road, saw the
constable Wall inside the defendant's premises, before the
bar. This was about a quarter past 11 o'clock, and the
constable did not come out till a quarter past 12, being then
in a state of intoxication.
The police constable, when examined by_the magistrate,
made very contradictory statements, and Mr. Beadon said
it was clear such a man could not remain in the force.
The defendant, in excuse, said that he was new to the
public-house business, and the night being very cold, be did
not think there was any harm in letting the policeman have
a little refreshment.
Mr. Superintendent Fenn said the constable admitted to
the Commissioners that he was intoxicated.
Mr. Beadon said that if it had been proved that the de-
fendant had kept a house before, he would have imposed
the full penalty. It was necessary to put a stop to such a
practice, as it was likely to lead to very serious evil. He
fined the defendant 40s. and costa, and he hoped he would
be more careful is future.
The defendant paid the money.
