DIMISEN IND DISORDERLY GEnneNe..—Albert
Linger, Otho Theodore Alexander Linger, his son, Frederic
Wilhelm Pabst, and Andrew Klantz, Germans, for whom
M. Wintzen, an interpreter, was provided, were brought be-
fore Mr. Partridge, charged with being disorderly and
committing other offences in violation of police law
morality and good order.
John Chester, a police constable, No. 23 H, stated that
at two o'clock this morning ho was on duty in tire White-
cln pal-road, and saw the two Lingers, father and son, and
two other Germans on tho pavement. They were shout-
ing tied singing loudly. He requested them to desist,
ante not to make so much noise. They walked about
twenty yards and did stop. They recommenced their
singing and shouting and he again interfered. The Ger-
mans again desisted, and iu leas than a minute afterwards
began to shout and sing again. He reminded them
that peopia were in their be a and wanted rest. The
four Germans then committed a nuisance on the pavement,
and ho asised them to turn round and be decent. Another
German came up and said, " Take no notice, wo have been
out at a party." Directly afterwards Albert Linger struck
Wm on the hat with a stick and knocked the hat off. The
hat was broken. The same prisoner then struck him three
times on the bare head with the stick. lie drew his
truncheon and struck the prisoner across the arm.
Another police-constable named William Crofts, No.
129 H, then came up, and Otto Linger said,
" You shall not take my father," and hit him twice on the
ribs. He took the stick from Albert Linger, and 129 II
captured Otto Linger. On the way to the station he was
in advance with Albert Linger, and Otto kicked him
behind. The other two prisoners he had net seen before
came up and made an attempt to rescue the Lingers. A
scene of great disorder and violence ensued, and in the cad
other constables arrived, and all the prisoners were secured.
Croft, 129 11, and Perks, 184 K, gave confirmatory evi•
deuce, and said all the prisoners were exceedingly violent
and noisy.
The prisoners generally denied all that was alltged
against him, and complained they Led been unjustly in-
terfered with. They called a witness, a German, who
said Albert Linger was badly used by the Constable Ches-
ter, and that Otto only interposed to protect his father. The
other prisoners went after the Lingers to the station-house,
and were called in. To their surprise they were detained
as prisoners.

A German, ore sober,an,

g
lishwoman, gave similar evidence, and said Albert Linger
was badly used, thrown down, and knelt upon by. Chester.
After an investigation, which lasted an hour and a half,
Mr Partridge said the witnesses for the defence did not
come up till the assaults on the police were committed. He
sentenced Albert Linger to one month's imprisonment;
Otto, his son, to nineteen days' imprisonment; Pupot to pay
a fine of 20s; and Klantz to pay 10s.
