follows :

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap.

the defendant hallooing and singing, in Leicester square.
He told him to go away, and as he would not he took him

Mr. Lewis put several questions to the constable with
the view of showing that he turned his bull's-eye on him,
and said, " Oh, it's you, Travers ; you are not among
your pals now, calling for brandy and water and making
me pay for it ;" that he had been drinking with Bob
Travers, and fell out with him because he (Bob Travers)
would not pay for it, at Alec Keene's ; that he had never
told the Inspector (Mr. W ebb) that the defendant
had used obscene language ; and that he had
told the defendant he was a better man than he was,
and that he was a -- black; but the constable denied the
questions entirely.

Mr. Yardley asked Mr. Lewis if he was prepared with
witnesses to support the defence, and Mr. Lewis replied
that he was not.

Inspector Webb said the defendant was drunk, but that
he had known him to assist the police on several ccasions.
Mr. Lewis, having addressed the magistrate at some
length, stating that he should be prepared with witnesses
to support his case, if adjourned,
Mr. Yardley said he did not consider the defence at.m-
all
supported as it might have been, but he should only i
pose a nominal fine of Is. At the same time hemsustsay
that he did not believe the insinuations throwl.at gainst
the constable, unsupported as they were by
witnesses:
Mr. Lewis said he had simply acted according to his in.
