Police-constable 146 corroborated this evidence.

Defendant said he had conducted the business of the
Dolphin for the last four years, and never yet had a
complaint against him, either of disorderly conduct or
not closinghis house at 12 o'clock at night. In the
latter respect he had always been most particular, (And
on the present occasion he was only looking over the
house to see everything safe before he went to bed, as
his barman had gone home at 12 o'clock, when the
house was closed.

Sir P. PAURIE said he thought this was a very
unnecessary interference on the part of the police.
Here was a man whose house is perfectly quiet, and
the officers had no reason to suspect anything
against him, beyond seeing a light in his house ;
and because he, naturally enough, got irritated at
their conduct, they take him into cutody and locked
him up.
Defendant requested permission further to state,
that notwithstanding it was a bailable offence, ha was
I locked up all night, and every accommodation to
communicate with his friends to procure bail was de-
nied him at the station, although he offered to send
for 501. and deposit it there as a security for his ap-
pearance to answer the charge.
Sir P. LAURIE asked the first witness how he came
to charge the defendant at the station with being
drunk, and then neglect to mention that circumstance
in his evidence ?—The officer said the defendant was
drunk.

Sir P. LAURIE said the treatment the defendant had
experienced was most unwarrantable, and he hoped
it would be properly represented to the Commissioner,
for it was evidently a malicious proceeding altogether.
He certainly never heard of such cruelty as to drag a
man from his home and family and then refuse to let
him get bail.
Defendant said, his wife at the time was in a bad
state of health, and was obliged to leave her bed at
10 o'clock on the following morning to procure his
liberation, the consequence of which was that she
was now in a very precarious condition.

.
Sir P. LAURIE—Such inhumanity on the part of
the constable should not pass unpunished.
The defendant then asked police-constable 140 if
he had ever supplied him with drink gratuitously ?
The officer replied "Never," and that " he was not
the sort of man to do so."
Sir P. LAURIE said, from that answer he was more
thoroughly convinced that the charge resulted from
malice. He supposed the officer had. some cause to
know the defendant was not inclined to treat police-
men, or he would not have made such an answer.
He therefore discharged the defendant, and directed
Inspector Joy to report this case to the Commissioner
in order that it might be properly inquired into.
ThQ defendant said that, having. no witnesses, he
expected he should have beers unjustly fined ; there-
fore, under the circumstances, he felt great pleasure
in giving 11. to the poor-box.

LAMBETH.
A person of respectable appearance whose name did
not transpire, but who was said to be a medical prac-
titioner in the London-road, applied to Mr. Elliott for
his opinion as to whether he should be justified in
pulling down a placard which was posted up at the
Catholic Cathedral in St. George's-fields.
The applicant stated that the placard in question
announced that a grand pontifical mass would be
celebrated on Christmas-day, and a sermon preached
by the Lord Bishop of Southwark, and inasmuch as
there was no such person known to the law, or legally
recognized as the "Lord Bishop of Southwark," he
wished to know whether he, the applicant, could be
held criminally responsible, or subject to the payment
of penalties, for tearing it down ?
Mr. Etr.roTT—You allege, I suppose, that some
person has illegally assumed the title of the Lord
Bishop of Southwark ?
Applicant—Yes, Sir. I hold that there is no such
person known ; that the placard is a misrepresenta-
tion, and I therefore want to know whether I would
not be justified in pulling it down?
Mr. ELLIOTT--I will read you the law on the sub-
ject. It is this:—
" Whereas divers of her Majesty's Roman Catholic
subjects have assumed to themselves the titles of arch-
bishops and bishops of pretended provinces, and of pre-
tended sees or dioceses within the United Kingdom,
under colour of an alleged authority given to them for
that purpose by certain briefs, rescripts, or letters epos-
tolical, purporting to have been given at Rome on the
29th of September, 1850. And whereas by the Act of
the 10th year of George IV., cap. 7, sec. 24, alter re-
citing that the Protestant Episcopal Church of England
and Ireland, and the doctrine, discipline, and govern-
ment thereof, and likewise the Presbyterian Church of
Scotland, and the doctrine, discipline, and government
thereof, were, by the respective Acts of Union of Eog-
land, Scotland, and Great Britain and Ireland, estab-
lished permanently and inviolably, and that the right
and title of archbishop to these respective provinces, of
bishops to these sees, and of dear.s to these deaneries, as
well in England as in Ireland, had been settled and
established by law, it was enacted that if any person,
after the commencement of that Act, other than the per-
son hereunto authorised by law, should assume or use
the name, style, or title of archbishop of any province,
bishop of any bishopric, or dean of any deanery in Eng-
land or in Ireland, not being the see, province, or diocese
of any archbishop or bishop of a city, place, or territory,
or dean of any pretended deanery, in England or in Ire-
lend, not being the see, province, or diocese of any,
archbishop, or bishop, or deanery, or any dean recog-
nized by law, such attempt to establish, under
colour of authority from the See of Rome, or
otherwise, such pretended sees, provinces, dioceses,
or deaneries, is illegal and void. And whereas it
is expedient to prohibit the assumption of such titles in
respect to any places within the United Kingdom, be it
therefore declared and enacted, that all such briefs, re-
scripts, or letters apostolical, and all and every the
jurisdiction, authority, pre-eminence, or title conferred,
or pretended to be eenferred thereby, are and shall be,
and Le deemed unlawful and void; and that every per-
; son so offending (aseuming the tith's), shall, for every
sub offence, forfeit and pay the sum of 100/., to be re-
covered as penalties imposed by the recited Act may be
recovered under the provisions thereof, or by action of

[ADVERTISEMENT.] Scorbutic Humours Cured
by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Extract of a letter from
Mr. George F. Williams, of Biackrock, near Cork, dated June
14, 1848.--" To Professor Holloway. Si T
beg to state for
your satisfaction, and for the information of the afflicted, the
wonderful effect your Ointment and Pills have had upon me.
I have suffered severely from scarbutic humours, and for the
last seven years my eyes have been dreadfully sore. During that
period I tried almost eve ry remedy without obtaining the least
relief. At last I was prevailed upon to use your invaluable
medicines, which I did, and I am delighted to say that I am per-
fectly cured by them."—Sold by all Druggists, and at Pro-

CHURCHYARD RIBALDRY.—A correspondent of the
Builder read in your journal of the 29th your
upon churchyard
ehyard memorials, and concurring in the
remarks s
ta, y
spirit of them that though " a correcter feeling on the subject
has become more general than it was," there is room for im-
provement ; I venture to send you two inscriptions on tomb-
stones which I have never seen in print, but which I nave
often read about midway up that beautiful avenue of chesnuts
in the churchyard at Hertford. The two graves are side by
side. FIRST EPITAPH.
" Grieve not for me, my dearest dear,
I am not dead, but sleeping here :
In patience wait prepared to die,
And in short time you'll come to I."
SECOND EPITAPH.
" I am not grieved, my dearest life—
Sleep on, I've got another wife;
Therefore I cannot come to thee,
For I mud go to bed to ehe."
