POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
G UIL D HALL.
DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF THE CITY POLICE.—
Donald M‘ Callum, a tall, well-dressed man, who de
scribed himself as having been a sergeant and in-
spector of police, and the son of an officer in the army,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Hunter,
charged with violently, and without provocation, as-
saulting a City police-constable, and using threaten-
ing and abusive language to another.
John Baker, City constable 255, stated that about
a quarter past twelve last Wednesday night, while
on duty in Little New-street, the defendant came up
to him and struck him with his fist a violent blow on
the arm, and after using the most disgusting language,
said that he would do for him before long. He had
not given the slightest provocation. The defendant
was the worse for liquor, but he knew what he was
doing.
Mr. M‘Callum, who was very much excited, said
that there was not one word of truth in the state-
ment of the constable, who had most grossly insulted
him at his own door, without any provocation what-
soever. The fact was, that he had observed the con-
stable and another, No. 361, standing at the door of
the White Swan public-house, drinking two pints of
beer when they were on duty, and before he spoke
one word to them they caught him rudely by the
arm, abused him in the most shameful manner, and
carried him away to the station-house.
Police-constable 361 (who during the whole hear-
ing of the case was continually interrupting the
Alderman, and behaved in a most impudent andin-
decent manner), said that there was a cab at the de-
fendant's door for upwards of an hour, and the cabman
came up to him and complained that his fare was 45.,
but he could not get it. His brother officer com-
plained that he had been struck, and hearing the
defendant anbusing custody.him in
He
also abused the mostfilthymanne
manner, they
took landlord
of the public-house, and although he represented him-
self as a respectable person, he was but a low common
informer against pawnbrokers.
Mr. M'Callum, who appeared very indignant, said
that the statement of both officers was gross perjury.
He had been spending the evening with a friend in
Waterloo-terrace, who accompanied him home in a
cab, and as be was going off to Scotland during the
night by the train, he kept the cab at the door to
take his luggage to Euston-square. Upon going to
the door he saw the two constables drinking at the
public-house door, and he was immediately as-
sailed by them with the most offensive epithets ;
such as thief, scoundrel, informer, and the like, and
immediately seized, dragged to the station-house, and
locked up. He had been an inspector over 300 men
in the Birmingham police under Colonel Shaw,
and also a riding-master at St. John's-wood, and
first assistant riding-master of the Dragoon Guards.
Russell (another City constable) with great offi-
titousness---No such thing; he is a common informer.
I know him well.

Mr. M'Callum—l have been many years in the
army and in► the police, and my character for respect-
ability, steadiness, and sobriety is irreproachable. I
can prove my statement by witnesses.
Mr. James Gow, printer, 189, Waterloo-terrace,
said that he was present during the whole affair. The
defendant had neither insulted nor struck the officers,
but they abused him without any provocation, in a
most scandalous manner, and dragged him along to
the station-house. The defendant was a highly re-
spectable gentleman.
The defendant was about to call other witnesses,
when

The ALDERMAN said he must dismiss the case. It
was most unbecoming in the officers to use abusive
language under any circumstances. The defendant
was greatly excited, and perhaps with reason. The
case was dismissed accordingly.
BOW-STREET.
POLICE TRICKS.—Mr. Stephens, a pawnbroker,
carrying on business in Wardour-street, Soho, ap-
peared upon a summons to show cause why he refused
to deliver up a box of mathematical instruments that
had been pledged at his shop by William Meadows
for the sum of 2/. 105., they having been stolen from
the chambers of Mr. Stone. The prisoner, on being
committed on several charges of felony from this
court, gave such information as enabled the police to
recover a great portion of valuable property belonging
to different surveyors and civil engineers.
Ir appeared from the evidence that Sergeant Mac-
kenzie, E division, having ascertained that the pro-
perty in question belonged to Mr. Stone, induced the
complainant, without telling where his instruments
were, to offer a reward for their recovery in the
Pawnbrokers' Gazette of 51., and vbsequently in-
formed him where they were to be found. The com-
plainant, suspecting he was about to be imposed upon,
refused to pay the amount, seeing that the thief was
in custody and fully committed for trial.

Mr. JARDINE did not consider that tile defendant
was entitled to a reward, although nothing improper
could be imputed to him, the articles having been
pledged in a bond fide manner, and proposed that the
complainant should pay the sum for which the pro-
perty had been pledged.
The parties then retired, and the sum of 14 ss.
