POLICE---THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF A CONSTABLE.—Edward
Warren and Fred. Wm. Smart, furniture makers, in Great
Crown-court, St. James's, were charged before Mr. Tyr-
wbitt, the first named with creating a disturbance, and the
latter with attempting to rescue Warren from custody.
They were further charged with being drunk and dis-
ordeily.

Wilson, 39 C, said that on Saturdaynight he saw Warren
drunk in Great Crown-court, quarrelling with another
man. He requested him to desist, and not cause a distur-
bance, and as he refused, and he believed the two men
were going to fight, he took him into custody. The other
man went away. On the way to the station with Warren,
Smart, who was drunk, pushed him (Wilson) against the
wall, and he was subsequently taken into custody.
Warren said that the constable called him a " -
brothel keeper" and a " thief," and said he would ring his
"- nose off." He was at the time removing some fur-
niture, and he requested the constable to clear some
boys away who were annoying him, but the constable said
he would rather take him into custody than he would the
boys, and on his coming out of the house the constable
seized him by the neck, twisted him round, and then took
him into custody.

A witness named Thornbury said he saw Mr. Smart
standing at his door, and as they had both seen what had
occurred, he suggested that they should go to the station
and interpose for Mr. Warren. They went together to the
station, and Smart went in and was asked what he wanted,
and on his saying that he came as a witness, the constable
seized him and charged him along with the other (Warren)
All Smart, who was quite sober, had done, was to follow to
the station. He (witness) was also collared at the station,
and the constable called out, " Turn him out," and he was
turned out.

In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said that all Mr.
Warren had done was to ask the constable to protect him
from the boys, who wore a great nuisance to the tradesmen
in the court.

Smart said he was struck in the back of his neck by the
constable.

Wilson said they were both drunk.
A female named Bennett proved hearing the constable
make use of the language imputed to him, and hearing Mr
Warren ask him to keep the boys away. Both the defen-
dants were sober.

Mr. Thornbury said both the defendants were quite
sober.

Mr. Joseph Howell, of 10, Great Crown-court, said that
both defendants were quite sober.

Warren said he had been collecting money all the even-
ing, and was perfectly sober.
Mr. Howell said they had frequently to complain to the
police of the conduct of the boys in the court.
Seageant Brady, 15 C, on duty at the Vine-street station,
and John Richardson, 167 C, acting gaoler at the station,
said that both defendants were drunk. the sergeant said
that Smart came to the station and was so violent in hie
conduct that it was impossible to reason with him at all
and he was chargel with rescuing Warren. The defend-
ants were bailed out in the course of the evening.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said the whole question was whether the
defendants were drunk or not. It had been sworn by the
witnesses for the defence that the defendants were sober,
but he (Mr. Tyrwhitt) believed they were both drunk. He
did not think it hardly likely that the constable would call
Warren what was alleged at once on his interfering. He
believed the defendants were, as said, both drunk, but from
the evidence of the different witnesses he would discharge
them at once, as they had been locked up.
The defendants were then discharged.
