Edward Warren and Frederick William Smart, both
furniture brokers in Crown-court, St. James's, were charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt, the first-named with creating a dis-
turbance, and the latter with attempting to rescue Warren
from custody. They were both further charged wrth being
drunk and disorderly.
Wilson, 39 C, said that on Saturday night he saw Warren
drunk in Great Crown-court, quarrelling with another man.
He requested him to desist, and not cause a disturbance,
and as he believed the two men were going to fight he
took him into custody. The other man went off. On
the way to the station with Warren, Smart, who was drun'.:,
pushed him (Wilson) against the wall, and he was subse-
quently taken into custody.
Wanes said that the constable called him a " brothel
keeper" and a " thief," and said he would wring his
nose off." lie was at the time removing some furni-
ture, and he asked the constable to clear some boys away
who were annoying hum, but the countable said be would
tether take him into custody than he would the boys •
and on his coming out of the house the constable seised
him by the neck, twisted bim round, and then took him
into custody.
A witness named Thorubcry said he saw Smart
standing at his door, and as they bad both seen what had
occurred, he suggested that they should go to the station as
witnesses for Mr. Warren. They west together to the
stntioo, and Smart went in and was asked what he wanted,
and on his saying that he came as a witness, the constable
seized him and charged him along with the other (Warren).
All Smart, who was quite sober, had done, was to follow to
the station. He (witness) was also collared at the station,
and the constable called out, " Turn him out," and he was
turned out.
Some cootradictory evidence having been given as to whe-
ther defendants were sober or not,
Sergeant Brady, 15 C, on duty at the Vine-street station,
and John Richardson, 167 C, acting gaolor at the station,
said that both defendauts were drunk. The sergeant said
that Smart came to the station, and was so violent in hie
conduct that it was impossible to reason with him at all,
and he was charged with rescuing Warren. The defendants
were bailed out in the course of the evening.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said the whole question was whether the
defendant. were drunk or not, and he was inclined to think
that they were, but as they had already been locked up
he would discharge them.
