A DISCHARGED CONSTABLE CHARGED WITH LOITER-
ING IN THE PARK—SUSPICIOUS CONDUCT.—WiIIiam
Ellis, a discharged constable from the D division, was
charged before Mr. Knox with loitering in Hyde-park, sup-
posed for an unlawful purpose, as also with falsely repre-
senting himself as a police constable.
John Fair, 99 A, said--I was in Hyde-park last night
about nine o'clock, near the Magazine Barracks, when the
prisoner came to where I was sitting,
in plain clothes. Ob
serving the prisoner watching me, I went up to him and
asked what he wanted. He replied, "I am a constable in
plain clothes, and I am sent to watch parties in the parks
by the inspector at Marylebone•lane station." I told the
prisoner that I did not believe he was a constable
at all, when ho said " Look at my trousers and
boots." I told him that notwithstanding that I
did not believe ho was what he represented him-
self to be, and that I should go with him to Marylebone-
lane. Upon this ho said, " Don't do that," and was about
to go away when I took him to Marlborough-mews station,
but not without a refusal on his part to go. On the way
to the station be said he had been in the police, but had
been dismissed a month ago.
Mr. Knox—Are there many people about that part of the
park at that time of night ?
Constable—Not many, sir.
Inspector Silverton—The prisoner was called upon a
month ago by the police commissioners to resign from the
D division in consequence of improper conduct. The pri-
soner had on the uniform trousers and boots.
Mr. Knox—Here is a man discharged from the police
loitering about the park in a suspicious manner. I shall
remand him for a week, that it may be seen what he has
been doing since he has loft the police. Ido not like the
story at all.
The prisoner was then remanded.
