Friday se'nnight the Magistrates of Glasgow de.
cided -a matter of Police, which has excited a good
deal of attention. About four weeks ago, two young
Gentlemen going borne pretty late at night, one of
theca, with a stick which he had in his hand, gave
a slight-rap on a 'window shutter At the head of Ja.
malca-street. On this, John Ogilvie find joil4
M‘Pherson, the watchmen stationed in. the street,
ran up and collared them. An altercation enstied,
the result was, that Ogilvie made a second attempt.
to seize one of the Gentlemen, who thereupon made
the:best of-his way tohia own house, which was bat
few yards' off. He was followed by the .two •
• watchmen, who ran up stairs after him, but he got
into the house, and 'the door was bolted before his
pursuers reached it. Ogilvie, who was close at his
heels, viattofy forted up the door,. laid hold of him
, again by the collar, And was forcing him out of the
I house, when his brother, being alarmed by the
noise, ran to the door,'.. extricated him from Ogil.

of the neighbourhood, and particularly of a Gentle,-

presentation of the circumstances, 'brought an action
against the watchmen, for forcibly entering the
house wikhout a warrant, and comlititting the out,.
