IiARILEBONE.

Thomas Gilling, a drover, was charged with an assault
upon a policeman, and tearing the oflioer's clothes.
Police-constable Rumbelow said—l have been specially
on duty catching dogs since Sir Richard Mayne's orders
have been issued. On Friday I was about the New Cattle
Market, and observed a bull terrier without a muzzle out-
side a public-house. I took the dog and led it away in
the strap. Atter going some distance the prisoner came
up to me and said that he would havehis dog. I told him
that I was a constable—l was out of uniform—and he
must come to the station-house and produce a mauls
and his license, and then he could have his dog. Primmer
said he would do no such thing, and after a struggle he
got the dog away from me. I managed to get it from him
again. He then struck me on my chest, hurting mo very
much. He also tore my coat nght up thu back, and
rendered it useless.

Prisoner (producing a muzzle) said—l took this off my
dog for him to drink. I was leg-weary, and sat down on
the pavement and dozed off. Another drover came to
me, and said they had my dog. I went after this man,
nut knowing that he was a policeman, and said I would
have my dog. I speak tho truth. Why didn't he speak to me?
Witness—l looked about and only saw a man ashwp on
the lavement, but I did not know it was the prisoner.
Our orders are to take any dog unmuzzled.
Pritoner—There are hundreds of dogs in the market,
but the police do not touch them ; they are frightened.
Mr. d'Eyncourt- Did the dog rusk or howl ?
Witness—No, not in the least. It went quietly enough.
Mr. d'EyncoUrt—Do you tako all dogs you see I"
Witt.e, —yes. Since I have been at it I have taken
over 270.

Mr. d'Eyncourt—That is a pretty good proof he is
doing his duty.
Pnsoner—Why don't ho take the strong dogs?
Witness—l take all I come across.
Mr. d'Eyncourt (noticing witness's hands) asked what
the black marks were upon them.
Witness (holding up both hands, dotted all over with
black spots) said those were places where he had berm
bitten and cauterised.

Hr. ciririnOiit—fou should wear gloves. The bites
might cost you your life this hot weather. A dog's bite
might be venomous although not rabid or mad.
Witness—l did have a pair, but was bitten through
them.
Mr. d'Eyneourt—l will order you some money out of
the funds of the court to buy yourself.estrong leather pair.
Prisoner—l like my dog, and it is my bcoa Ade P
Mr. d'Eyncourt—l dare say you do. You mull
21*. for damage to coat, and 6s. fine.
This was paid, and prisoner went for his dog.
