POLICE INTRT.T.TGENCE.—(This Day.)

BOW-STREET.
AN OFFICIOUSPOLICEMAN. —Three respectably dressed
persons, two named Thome., husband and wife, and the
other Jones, were thio morning placed at the bar charged
with violently assaulting several police constables.
Sergeant Weston said—Last night I was on duty in
Eagle-street when I met the three persons at the bar.
The two male prisoners were far from sober, and I heard
Thomas persuading Jones to go to bed. I went up to
them and then Thomas asked where a respectable bed
could be got. Jones said be preferred going home with
his friend, and I advised him not to do so, telling him at
the same time he had a perfect right to go where he
chose. Upon giving this advice Thomas became very
much annoyed. I endeavoured to persuade Jones to leave
his friend, when ultimately Thomas became very abusive. I
attempted to take him into custody. His wife rushed
between us to prevent such a proceeding, and seeing I
was determined she began to offer a very strong resist-
ance. Another policeman up
cean came and I handed Mrs.
Thomas and Jones ever to him and then went with my
prisoner to the station-house. Upon our way, Thomas,
who had made a desperate resistance, said he would go
quietly, but on arriving at the top of Endell-street, he
broke away, but after a violent struggle he was recap-
tured. He struck me a violent blow on my chest and
his wife bit my finger very severely. It took four police-
men to convey him to the station-house.
Mr. Henry—Did you know the Thomas's to be bad
characters
Policeman—No, your worship.
Mr. Henry..—Thee, why did you advise Jones not to
go with them ?
Policeman—l thought it looked very suspicions, as
Jones appeared to be
Mr. Henry-1f a, countryman.
You had known them to be bad cha-
racters it would have been your duty to put a ro•.son on
his guard. They might be all country friends for aught
you knew. You had no right at all to interfere ?
Thomas—l never struck the man at all. Jones is a
friend of mine. I knew him in Cheltenham. He
arrived in London last and I and my wife met
bins. As he is night,
going to New Zealand in about a mouth
we bad a little to drink, and were going home when the
policeman came tip to tie. I asked him where we could
get a respectable bed for my Mend, when Jones said
he would go home with ate. The constable then advised
him not to do so, and I felt very much annoyed at his
remarks. I did resist being taken to the seation.house.
We are all respectable peisone.
Mr. Henry (to the constable)—You had no right to
interfere. By giving the advice you did, you implied
they were bad characters,
Policeman—I did not mean that.
Mr. henry—Then,
what did you mean I They ap•
pear to be all friends.
Thomas--I spoke to the policeman about getting me
a respectable bed for my friend, but he preferred to go
home with me.
Mr. Henry—The policeman thought be was advising
Jones for his o /en good. Are there any other witnesses ?
Policeuo a e —Ye e.
Mr. Henry—Teen we bill hear them. I think you
have acted extremely indiscreet.
Police constable, 5e ,
- - I took the woman to the sta-
tion.g
I saw Thomas etiuggii„o
with Sergeant Weston.
Ire Endell street they had
a good many up and downs.
In Bon'-street Thomas struck me.
Mr. Henry, recalling Sergeant Weston—All this, you
see has been caused through Your indiscretion. You did
not know the prisoners to be bad characters.
Sergeant West to—l did net your worship.
Mr. Healy—Then you should not have given your
advice without you had known them to he so. They
must all be discharged.
Discharged accordingly.
