INTERPEHING WITH THE POLICE.—Mr. John Kent, a
gentleman of
,property, residing at 46, Brompton-square,
was charged before Mr. Selte with assaulting police-con-
stable 101 B in the execution of his duty.
It appeared from the evidence that about one o'clock that
morning the complainant, who was on duty in Knights-
bridge, saw a cab standing in front of a refreshment house,
when, as it had been there nearly an hour, he went up to
the driver and told him that he should summons him. The
driver said that he was waiting for his fare. While he and
the constable were talking together the prisoner came up
and stated to the constable that he insisted upon the cabman
staying where he was, and that ho had a right to stay as
long as he did not cause any obstruction. An altercation
ensued between the constable and the prisoner, who gave
the constable a push. He was then taken into custody.
In answer to Mr. Selfe, the constable said that he had
some knowledge of the prisoner.
The prisoner said that he had been in the army, and that
he was now living on his property. He was very much
insulted by the constable, who called him " Jack Kent."
He did not know what right he had to address him, (priso-
ner) so familiarly. On the way to the station-house he was
very badly used by the constable and another policeman,
who shook him most violently.
Witnesses were called for the prisoner, one of whom said
that the prisoner was much shaken by the constables.
Mr. Selfe said there was no doubt but that the prisoner
had interfered with the constable in the execution of his
duty, and that but for his statement that he had received
some bad treatment he should have fined him heavily.
Prisoner was fined 10s., which was paid.
