_ BOW-STREET. •

Lieutenant Charles Ackerley, R.N., a gentleman whose
eocentricities have on several meanie= brought his name
before the public, was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine
on a charge of creating • distort:altos at the United Service
Institution, in Whitehtil., and assaulting the secretary, Mr.
Tones, and an American Indian, named Peer Sequel,
who apposes to be an attendant en the lieutenant, was
chareca with attempting to rescue him from custody.
Mr. Tonto informed the magistrate that a meeting of the
members of the institution had been held that morning for
the palpate of causiderine a resolution for the expulsion of
Lieutenant Ackerley. Of the 83 votes which were received
82 were for the resolution, and the gentleman who gave the
solitary vote in his favour aterwards explained that he
did so by mistake. After the result was declared, Mr.
Ackerley, who wee shading at the beck of the lecture
chair, rushed down the hall to the plate where he (Mr.
Tonna) had been sitting, and seized opals some of his papers.
Several members who were near him attempted to prevent
him from doing so, end witnees seised one of the papers, and
took it from him. Upon this defendant struck witness vio-
lently in the side with his elbow. Witness, assisted by some
of the members, then seised on the defendant, lifted him
op, and carried him out of the hall. They set him down in
toe lobby, hoping be would then go away, bat he latisted
on returning to the theatre, and became so violent that it
was found necessary to have him removed by the police and
the porters. Having been thus expelled at the side door,
Mr. Ackerley went round to the front entrance, and
was mounting the steps, when witness went to the door
and closed it. As he was doing so, however, he received
through the don a blow frets the lieutenant's walking-
stick. The stick, which was a light bamboo cane, he
believed, was caught by the clash* door, and broken to
piece'.
Policeman Hine, 513 A, who was on duty at the entrance,
corroborated the latter part of Mr. Tonna evidence. " The
captain" used very bad language, and threatened to knock
Mr. Tonnes head off. After the door was closed, as de-
scribed by Mr. Tonna, defendant still wanted to force his
way back, and witness was obliged to take him in charge.
The captain" then called to his man to assist him, assert-
ing that he was a constable, sad directing him to take
witness in charge. Be sleet, who eppeared rally to believe
that he was a constable, end was justified in doing what-
ever Mr. Aekarley told him, seised witness by the thew,
and tried to push him away. He then caught hold of de-
' fondant, and alter a struggle succeeded in releasing him
from witness's hands. He (wits's), however, immediately
seised Mr. Ackerley again, and with the aid of the porters
, removed his man to the station-house.

Several other witnesses corroborated.
Mr. Ackerley, who had thou examined etch of the wit-
nesses at great length, but to very little purpose, eons
seamed his defame by banding in a document, which he
asserted would prove that was himself a magis-
trate. He then 'item' into an exceedingly pre -
lir sad unintelligible statement of the relation
between himself sod the other defendant, woo
he said was formerly a constable in Canada,
sod bad Aloe socieeeded him (Mr. Aekerley) in some °filth
in that country. He had been mait.tainieg this man for
some five years sod a ►ell, is order to enable him to esta-
blish some C'4llll against the govrasient, ant be earnestly
hoped that if has worship should be of opinion that any
wrong had bees done, be would not visit with any punish•
meat this poor Indian, who could neither read nor write—
could hardly speak English—but would let the whole re-
eptheibility rest on him, who had called the poor fellow to
bin aselatasee. He thee proceeded to give a very detailed
account of the transaction, explaining that in attempting to
seise on the pep rs he only wanted to pet a copy of the
charge on which he had been expelled. He did not wilfully
strike Mr. Tonne, either in the theatre or at the door. In
fact, he did not me him. He wee very short-sighted, and
when he thrust his stick in et the door to keep it open he
did not perceive that there was any one there. He con-
tended that, being a life member, le could not be expelled,
and on that proved justified all be had done within the
building, as being cone is defence of his eights but ad-
mitted teat be bad done wrong outride, especially " in using
ezpvessithe which no prudent man would permit himself to
employ."
The other defendant declared, in broken English, that he
was a constable, and his master a judge, for which reason
they must hang together. What his muter did he would
dO; and If his master went to prison for it, he was coatent
to go to prison too.
Mr. 'iodise said the notion that the members could not
expel Lieutenant Ackerley because be was a life member'
was so absurd that be woedsthd a gentlemen who had lived
so loos in the world should entertain it. Hie conduct was
wholly najuitillable. He must pay a fine of 61, and find
two sureties of 1001. to keep the peace. Baguet must
ply 11.
Lieut. Ackerley paid both fines, and was liberated on
his promise to bring forward two friends as bail on a future
day.
At the rising of the court, his wonbip intimated that
in the case of Mr. Payne he had resolved to mitigate the
penalty to a 40e. fine, whiek wee paid, and the defendant
was set at liberty.
