SATURDAY, DECEMBER •ri, 1856.

THE DAY'S NEWS.

fOur police force is becoming, we are sorry to
say, rather notorious for acts of alleged cruelty,
and, in some instances, neglect of duty. Yester
day, we published two letters from a gentleman
caned Greene, setting fortis a series of grievances
caused, as he states, by the conduct of the police.
As if to strengthen and corroborate Mr. Greene's
charges, a case was heard before Mr. Mansfield
yesterday, wherein a Mr. and Mrs. Berkley charged
a young man, named John Gibson, with a violent
And unprovoked assault upon them in tho London
Road on Christmas night. The case was fll u y
Proved against Gibson, and he was properly sen-
tenced to pay a fine of or in default of pay-
inent three months imprisonment with herd labour.
The c nnidainants stated tli when they were
assaulted they called a policeman, 610, to whom
they bartated thP., outrage which hail been corn-
Muted, butA'neugh he saw Mrs. Berkley bleed-
ing, sl•
„ having got a large cut on the nose, he said,
is that all?" and declined to take Gibson into
custody. Mother officer came up, and Gibson was
-secured. Commenting upon the policeman's (610)
icOnduct, Mr. Mansfield stated that when a police.
. man sees that an assault has been committed,
Particularly' if there is blood, he is justified in
apprehending the offender. The policeman's
'conduct should be reportcd to Major Greig. On
this case, as well as the statements contained in
lir. Greene's communications, we forbear to make
any comments until the Watch Committee shall
have had an opportunity of investigating the whole
affair, as it is their bounden duty not to permit
such cliarges being made without a thorough and
Searching investigation.
The constituents and friends of the Hon. Mr.
Kinnaird, M P., have entertained him at a public
dinner at Perth, as a mark of the respect and
esteem in which he is held by them as a member of
ithe House of Commons. Upwards of 300 gentle-
'Tnen sat down to dinner. The Marquis of
iireadalbane, in reply to the toast of the
House of Lords, observed that although
it was the aristocratic element of the
Constitution, yet there was one most popular
element connected with it, viz., that there was no
individual in the country, however humble, and
however low his station, who, if he rendered
essential service to the nation, was not competent
to be placed among the proudest of the hereditary
Peerage. Mr. Kinnaird, in replying to the toast
Of his health, made a long and interesting speech,
in the course of which he remarked that he" looked
,:with satisfaction to the fact that the government of
this country can no longer be confined to a few
ff anilies of one party or another. There is nothing
now to prevent any man from aspiring to the first
offices of the state, even although his only recom-
mendation is his capacity and his ability for the
work. And this it is which gives the independent
party in the House of Commons increasing power ;
because we can both stimulate and clog the
Government. We can stimulate the Government
when they propose good and sound measures, by
bringing to their support men who, under the old
and ordinary system of party Government, would
.have been ranged against them ; and, on the other
hand, when the Government propounda measures
which we consider unsound or bad; then those who
are in the habit of acting with the Government
can, by expressing their opinions, give all the
benefit to the Government of a vigorous Opposition
without that which he conceived to be a great evil
—the constant change of Governments." Mr.
Kinnairi then passed a warm eulogium on Lord
Pahnerstcn as being the "right man in the right
place" Alluding to the late war with Russia,
11 r. Kinnaird thus expressed himself:—" I firmly
believe' 11":1 stated it three years ago, that had
or'
Palmerston been at the head of affairs we
Fh -mid not have heard of Russian aggression. Had
lie been at the head of affairs, I believe that when
the Russian fleet under Menschikoff appeared in
the Bosphorus, the summons of Colonel Rose, our
r presentative, would have been answered, and our
fleet would have appeared as a counter demonstra-
tion at that time; and I for one em convinced that
Nicholas never would have put a foot on Turkish
territory. So it has been with America. That
cowernment knows as well as we do that Lord
Palmerston will maintain the rights of England,
Nv i e. he knows how to respect the rights of other
nations. The noble lord is not afraid to let it be
known that his sympathies and the sympathies of
England are with the oppressed nations abroad.
There was a time in the history of this country.
