Mr. Knox—Had you struck the constable on the fore-
head you might have been standing at the Old Bailey on a
trial for your life. If you think these acts are to be done
with impunity you are mistaken. You will go to prison
for two months with hard labour. .

George Bromage was charged with disorderly conduct
and throwing stones.
Sergeant Isaacson, 2 D, saw tho prisoner with about 40
lads and mennearsome trees on fire. As the policy went up
to disperse them, he saw prisoner and others stone throw-
ing. Ile then took the prisoner into custody.
The prisoner denied having thrown a stone, or taken
any part in the stone throwing, and called a witness (Den-
nis Leary), who said that while with the prisoner and some
others talking to a man who had been injured the pre-
vious night by the police the constable rushed up and
took the prisoner into custody, the prisoner never having
thrown a stone, and having his hands in his pocket at the

The prisoner's brother was called by him, and he swore
that the prisoner never threw any stones.
Mr. Knox called the sergeant, and, in answer to ques-
tions put by Mr. Knox, the sergeant said he was positive
the prisoner threw stones.
The prisoner said the constable had not told the truth.
Mr. Knox said if that was the case the constable could
be indicted for perjury. He should fine tie prisoner 40s.
or a month.
Specks, 121 D, was inside the Marble-arch about five
yesterday evening, and at that time a large section of police
was marching out of the park. Prisoner said, " There
goes the last of the butchers—now's your time." A
female was detained by the police, and prisoner cried
out, "Here, the police butchers have got a female here.'
At the time he was surrounded by a number of boyS, some
of whom had stones in their hands. Prisoner called out,
"Now's your time," and took his hand out of his pocket
and held it up, and he thought prisoner had a stone in
his hand, but he had not. On taking the prisoner into cus-
tody he said that he was very sorry. In answer to the
charge the prisoner said he never intended to throw stones,
that ho was rather excited, and perhaps he said too much.
The prisoner said he was a respectable mechani&`
Mr. Knox said he could see that, and that made him the
more surprised to see him where he was.
The prisoner said he saw constables knocking a man
about, and he said " What a shame ;" and afterwards, at
the Marble Arch, seeing a woman in custody, he said,
" Here's a woman in custody," and he was then locked up.
As for making use of the bad word alleged, he did not do
so, and never made use of a profane word. The constable
must have been mistaken.
Mr. Knox was glad to hear what the prisoner said, as it
was so different to what he had heard from the persons he
had had before him, and he wished to ask him if he did not
think what had occurred of late a disgrace to London.
The prisoner said he did.
Mr. Knox said he was glad to hear a person of the pri-
soner's description saying so. If decent mechanics would
keep out of the place, and leave the police and the ruffians
to settle the matter, there would soon be an end of it. It
was on such men as the prisoner, decent mechanics, who
worked for their living, that they relied for the preservation
of the peace of the town, and who were as much interested
in its preservation as any one. He had been dealing with
cases of idle boys who had been doing all sorts of damage
and splitting persons' heads open as ordinary police cases,
but if the matter went on, and there were more of them,
the end of it would be that they would be sent down to
the sessions in batches, where they would get six months
or much heavier sentences. As he believed the prisoner to
be a person of a very different class to those he had had be-
fore him he would deal leniently with him, and should order
him to enter into a surety of £lO to be of good behaviour.
Margaret Stocker was charged with assault.
Windall, 217 A, saw the prisoner at the Marble Arch,
and as she was disorderly he requested her to go away. She
refused, and struck him in the face.
Earl, 157 A, said the prisoner, while he was taking
Watts into custody, followed, inciting the crowd by say-
ing, "Look at the fellows; why don't you take him
away from them ?" This caused a large mob, and he had
to draw his truncheon. She told the people to throw
stones at the police. The prisoner was very violent.
Mr. Knox—Was the prisoner used roughly ?
Constable—No, sir.
Mr. Rogers appeared for the prisoner, instructed by the
Reform League, and pleaded in mitigation of punishment.
Mr. Knox—This is the first woman I have had before
me. Did they take any part in the matter ?
Inspector Green, A Division, said they did, and that
there were large numbers of them in the park each day.
Mr. Knox said he should have thought women would
have exercised their influence with their husbands and
brothers to keep them away from the park.
Mr. Knox said he would not under the circumstances
deal heavily with the prisoner; she will have to pay 10s,
or 7 days.
Alfred Byot was charged with throwing stones and
assaulting Wyatt, 364 A.
Wyatt said the prisoner threw a stone, and on taking
him into custody he kicked him.
Head, 201 .1), went to the assistance of Wyatt and saw
prisoner kicking Wyatt.
In answer to Mr. Rogers, who appeared for the prisoner,
the constable said he only saw one stone thrown. The
prisoner was not very violent.
Mr. Rogers called Mr. Jordan, a cigar merchant, who
said he was in the park yesterday to see what destruction
had taken place. 'Saw prisoner in custody of three con-
stables, and one of them behind, 364 A, kicked the prisoner.
He asked the constable his name, and he said "Be off, or
I'll lock you up," and not wishing to be locked up he went
away.
364 A denied kicking the prisoner.
Mr. Knox supposed there was great confusion.
Mr. Jordan—Sir; there was.
Mr. Knox said he was afraid the prisoner threw the stone.
He would ask the prisoner to see what had been done. A
parcel of blackguardly ruffians had thrown stones and done
immense damage, and disturbed the peace of the town.
He would take into consideration the little rough treat-
ment he might have received in being taken into custody.
Ho would not do as he had done in some cases, merely
send the prisoner to prison without the option of pay-
ing a fine, but he would have to pay 40s. or a month for
the stone throwing, and a fine of £5 or a month for the
as sault on the constable.
James Costello was charged with throwing stones.
Chorley, 392 A, proved seeing the prisoner throw stones
at two constables.
A woman at the back of the court said the prisoner
was silly.
Mr. Knox said prisoner had sense enough to go into the
park and throw stones at the constables. He will have to
pay 40s. or a month
