Mr. l'ollaky has been engaged for a nuenher of years a. a
risme ine,eiry officer, sued is well known to the public.
It al pears Hut he it also a non-paid officer of tier Society
for the Nuppteeeion of Vice and for the Protect:on of
Young We men. It stems that defendant's (Lomax)
wife or miEtiesse, whichever she may be, was charged
with violently womulting a child at Margate.
My client, in his capacity of an officer of
the eociety, bad to make inyuui.e into the cite. She was
tent for trisl cud convicted and sentenced to twelve
months lard labour. Ever situe the defendant lefts beau
in the habit of era:ling Mr. Pollaky with inn t gross and
filthy language as he gees, abut. In addition to this he
has Pent a number of letters conic g 'nog ahem nable
language and holding out threats. 1 hie 1 have here, com-

This is the sort of language he makes use of towards my
client. I may inform you, sir, that since the affair at Mar-
gate the defendant bas been convicted and sentenced to 14
days. The offence that we now complaia of took place
in the Etrect. Now what we want is that he be bound
over in bonze large amount of hail to prevent hint com-
mitting any violence upon Mr. Pollaky.
Mr. Pollaky's evidence was then taken. It bore out
the statement of his coun-el as to thee letters having been
tea ived, and threatening laeguage used. Ile expressed
his belief that his hie was not side while Lomax remained
at large.
The defendant denied having pent the lett Tie com-
