TO THE EDITOTt Q THE NORTHERN TIMES.
..,,r,—linowing your love of fair play, especially where a
man's character is concernd,-I venture to communicate to
you the real facts of the police case, reported in yesterday's
impression of your paper..
Having been detained on business in town on Wednesday
until nine o'clock, and not having had any refresh-
,nt, I called upon my friend, Mr. James Ilalderstone, of
the Mitra Hotel. The defendant, Ellis, happened to be
there, and called for a bottl3 of wine, butdid not pay for it.
My;attention was directed to the circumstance by Mr. Bal-
derston e ; and I was thereby induced to follow the defend-
ant, who had just left the premises. Instead, however, of
explaining his conduct, he most unexpectedly knCcked me
down. I, therefore, gave him into custody; but, attribut-
ing in a great measure his unprovoked assault to the
influence of intoxicating drinks, of which he had imbibed no
small quantity, I did not wish to press the charge ; and,
consequently, on arriving at the Vauxhall bridewell, I
refused to book him. To my great surprise, however, the
keeper and police having ascertained my name, and having
an old grudge against me, decided according to the Lex
Talionis, by locking both of us up !! ! Whether this was
clnsistent with justice, and whether I was an offending
party at all, the impartial public will learn from the decision
of oar worthy ,stipendiary magistrate.
This is a plain, brief, and unvarnished statementof the
facts of the case. lam sorry that it should ever have
occurred ; but it evinces with what kind of animus the
police are actuated against me. —Yours, &c.,
