POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF POLICE CONSTABLES.—
William Watson, a respectable looking young man, de-
scribed as a clerk residing in Stamford-street, was charged
before Mr. Knox with assaulting Police-constable Charles
Bluett, 170 C.
The constable said that about 10 minutes past one on
Sunday morning ho was in the Haymarket when he heard
a great disturbance through some foreigners shouting a
song. The defendant, who was with about half a dozen
other men, was pushed, when he fell over his (witness's)
foot and fell. On getting up he accused him of having
knocked him down, and said he would given him (witness)
a straight one, and then gave him a blow in the breast.
The defendant said, with some companions ho was going
in the direction of Coventry-street when they met a friend,
and had not stopped more than a minute when the con-
stable (Bluett) came up and said " Move on, " at the
same time giving him (the defendant) a push which made
him fall, twisted his arm, and then, without any resistance
on his part, took him into custody. He was told at the
station that it was too late to call witnesses, and he had to
get bail as well as he could. He was perfectly sober at
time, and having been suffering from cholera for the past
few days, thought he would have died in the cell, as he
could scarcely breathe, and had to put his face to the
grating to do so.

The defendant called a witness, who said the constable
pushed the defendant down and afterwards against a
lamp-post. He asked the constable to let him go in and
see the inspector, when the door was slammed in his face,
and he was not allowed to go in, although he wished to
be a witness for the defendant.

Mr. Knox asked inspector Walker if that was the case,
and whether it was the practice not to allow witnesses
into the station on behalf of a person who was locked up ?

Inspector Walker said he understood it was the case on
Saturday night, but it was not the practice.
Mr. Scott, of 6, Hatfield-street, Stamford-street, who
was also called by the defendant, said he was with the do-
fendant and the last witness, and were just shaking hands
with a friend when the constable (Bluett) came up and
said "Move on," and before they had time to do so the
constable seized hold of the defendant and threw him down,
trod on his heels, and forced him against a lamp-post.
Another constable (322 A) then came up and also seized
hold of the defendant and nearly choked him. He went
with his other friends to the station to see the inspector,
and the constable at the door, in a jeering way, said, "Now
what do "you think of that 2" and shut the door in our
faces, and would not let us in.
In answer to the constable the witness said he had been
in the Hay'ine►rket before, but had actor caused the slightest
disturbance.

Cast of Dr Pritchard's Head.

Mr. Walker said ho wished the witness to be asked
whether he did not see the inspector (Draper).
The witness said he did after some trouble, but then the
charge was taken. It was too late for them to be heard,
and the defendant was in the cell. The inspector said he
could then do nothing in the matter, and that he was not
a magistrate.

In answer to Mr. Knox, the defendant said that bail was
taken as soon as it could be procured, but ho believed that
had his witnesses been admitted to the station the inspector
could never have taken the charge at all. He had no par-
ticular complaint to make against the inspector, but he had
of the way in which he was treated by the constable. He
had several other witnesses he could have called.
Mr. Knox said there had been a scandalous abuse of duty
on the part of the police-constable (Bluett), who, if what
the witnesses stated was true, was no longer fit to be
retained in the force. He would advise the defendant to
take out a summons against the constable who had mis-
handled him in the way described, and the defendant
could then produce all his witnesses and the constable his.
As for what took place at the station, he thought witnesses
for a person taken into custody should instantly be admitted
to the station. He thought it probable that the men out-
side excluded the witnesses without the inspector's know-
lodge at all. He should discharge the defendant, and
advise him to take steps against the constable.

FUNERAL OF MRS. FORWARD AND CHILD.

(rnom oun OWN REPORTER.)
RAMSGATE, Sunday.
Another melancholy scene in the terrible tragedy
perpetrated by the unparelleled murderer, Stephen
Forward alias Earnest Southey, took place this
morning, viz., the burial of two of his victims,
Mary Anne Jemima Forward, his wife, and Emily
Frances, his daughter. The bodies of the two un-
fortunate creatures were removed from the Infir-
mary, where they had lain since the murder, to the
residence of the late Mrs. Forward, No. 61, King-
street, on Friday ; and it having become generally
known that the burial of the bodies would take
place on Sunday morning, an immense crowd of
the inhabitants of, and visitors to, Ramsgate, as-
sembled before the house as early as 9 o'clock, with
the intention of joining the melancholy cortege
which conveyed the bodies to their last resting
place. Shortly before 10 a strong body of the
Ramsgate police arrived, and having to some extent
taken possession of the street, the hearse and mourn-
ing coach drove up soon after, and in a few minutes
the coffins containing the bodies having been
deposited in the mortuary carriage, it drove off
at a slow pace followed by the carriage with
the mourners, which consisted of the two uncles of
the deceased and Mr. and Mrs. Ellis, in whose
house it will be recollected Mrs. Forward and her
daughter were savagely shot dead. The funeral
procession proceeded to St. George's Church, at the
entrance to which it was received by the vicar, the
Rev. Mr. Nesbitt, and both coffins having been
placed on biers, they were raised on to the shoul-
ders of the bearers and conveyed into the Church,
followed by a large concourse of persons, the num-
bers remaining outside amounting to nearly a
thousand. The funeral service having been read
in the most impressive manner by Mr. Nesbitt, the
bodies were then conveyed to the new burial ground,
a short distance from the church, and here the
whole of the spectators fell into something like
order, and a more melancholy spectacle cannot be
imagined than the long, silent, and sorrowing train
presented. From the grave into which the two
bodies were deposited the remains of one of Mrs.
Forward's children, a boy who died some six years
ago, had to be removed, and after the latter portion
of the service had been said it was returned to its
resting-place, and thus poor Mrs. Forward and her
two children take their last long sleep together.
The Rev. Mr. Nesbitt, seeing so large an assem-
blage before him, could not refrain from addressing
a few short, but impressive observations to the
crowd, during which he said the present was one of
the most melancholy duties he had ever had to per-
form, and he hoped that the lesson it taught would
not be lost upon those now before him. It showed
to what terrible lengths a person departing from the
right course could go. The man who was now in
the hands of justice, from an honest man had by
degrees become a gambler, a faithless husband, a
treacherous friend, and a murderer. He besought
all present to reflect on the terrible consequences of
a falling from the course of rectitude, because one
false step might, if not at once recalled, lead to the
most lamentable and fatal consequences, conse-
quences which not only perilled life, but perilled the
mortal soul both here and hereafter. The crowd
paid the greatest attention to the observations of
the rev. gentleman, and at their conclusion the as-
semblage quietly dispersed.
