fused to walk, and had to carry him.

scandal to the town. The police had a right by law to
clear away an obstruction.
Another witness said there was an order given to clear

these persons from the gate, as there was an obstacle. He
considered the constable's conduct scandalous, as he struck
women and children, and if ever a person exceeded his duty
it was the constable.

Mr. Knox said it was a case which must be thoroughly
and properly investigated. Although ho was determined
to put down the ruffianism in the park, nothing was further
from his intention than to permit an excess of duty on the

gan to struggle, and got his (constable's) finger in his
mouth and bit him through, the same Anger having been

Clevins denied biting the constable's finger, and said the
reason why they got down the area was because they
thought tho horse police were coming.
