WINDSOR, THURSDAY.

A case which has created considerable interest was
heard before the mayor (Mr. James Brown) and two
other magistrates of the borough of New Windsor, this
mornif.g. Mr. J. P. Barrett, solicitor, Eton, appeared
off the part of Mr. Graham, complainant ; and Mr. C. S.
Voules, solicitor, Windsor, for Ango, a policeman.
After Mr. Barrett had stated the nature of the case to
the Court, he called his client, who deposed as follows :
Mr. Graham stated that he bad been dining with. the
officers of the Grenadier Guards at their mess in the in-
fantry barracks, Sheet-street, Windsor, on- Saturday
evening last, and on arriving near the Windsor-bridge,
at about half-past 12 o'clock, a policeman took hold of
him, and said, " I arrest you, sir, for uttering counter-
feit coin." The officer at the same time charged another
man to aid and assist him in taking complainant to the
station house. On their way thither, and within a
short distance of the mayor's residence in Thames-
street, the defendant turned round and said to com-
plainant, "You are trying to swallow something,"
and knocked him down. The policemnn and the
other man then knelt on complainant, the police-
man put his finger in complainant's month,
and thrust it under his tongue and down his
throat. ComplainatA struggled to extricate himself
from such rough treatment, when the policeman bit Mal
in the face, the effects of which were still very visible.
The complainant was then allowed to get up, when his
pockets were searched, and about 41. in gold and Bs. 61
in silver was taken from them, lie requested to be taken
either to the infantry barracks or to the Christopher Inn,
Eton, where he had been staying, but this was refused
him, and he was taken to the station-house, and locked
up until about half past two o'clock in the morning, at
which time Inspector Eager came into the room and
heard the charge of the policeman, who said that defen-
dant had given him two sixpences to get him lodgiogsr
both of which were counterfeit. The inspector, on look-
is a the money, and finding it to be good, allowed hint
to go to his inn after he had told him his name, but sent
a sergeant of police with him to see if he was known
there, when he was recognised by the boots.

By Mr. Barrett—He ;was perfectly sober, and did not
speak to a single policeman, or any other person, front
the time be left the barracks until he was arrested.
Never gave the policeman, or any other person, any
money that night to get him a fly to convey him to the
ChriAtopher Inn.
Policeman Andrews, on being sworn, said he was on
duty in Sheet-street on Saturday night, and walked UP
with a gentleman, whom he believed to be cemplaidant,
to Hag',
-street, and handed him to Ango, the complainant
having told him that he wanted a fly to take him to the
Chmistcpber Inn, Eton, where he said he was staying.
James Ware, the man on the bridge, deposed that be
heard the policeman charge the complainant with giving
him two had sixpence 4, when he denied having seen hint
before or havinggiven him any money. Policeman then
said he must go to the station-house, and, when complain.
ant refused to go, witness was charged to aid and assist.
He then deposed as to the facts (Atha scuffle in Titania•
street.

A publican of the name of Cutt said a policeman
called with a gentleman at his house at a little after
t velve o'clock for a fly to go to Eton College, but he de'
dined taking his horses out at that hour for so short a
j uruey.

The magistrates' chamber was then cleared, and cm
the public being readmitted, the magistrates said they
were of opinion that the officer bad far exceeded big
duty. It was easy to discover from the gentlemanly
manners and appears,nce of the complainant that he.wsti
not a smasher ; besid,s, a smasher was not in the habit
of giving money away. The defendant was fined 1/. 7s•
6d.. including costs, or, in default, one month's impri'
son ment.

Mr. Barrett said his client was satisfied with the ns•
gistrate.,' decision, and as the case would be sent before
the watch committee, he begged that the man might not
be discharged on account of his large family; it DO
doubt was a case of mistaken identity.
