SOUTHWARK.

Cornelius Bowen, a respectable-looking middle-
aged man, was brought before Mr. a'Beckett on the
following charges
_ _

Policeman Gingle, 109 M, stated that while on duty
at the corner of Fishmongers'. alley, High-street, at
half-past one o'clock in the morning, he saw the de-
fendant standing at a coffee stall and several women ;
they were talking and making a noise, and he desired
the defendant to move on, when he refused, and
threatened to throw some coffee at him if he meddled
with him. He (the policeman) then went towards
the defendant, who seized him by the collar, tore his
coat, and in the struggle they both fell to the ground,
but he succeeded in taking his assailant to the station-
house. •

The defendant contradicted the policeman's state-
ment, and called forward two witnesses in his behalf,
who gave a very different version of the transaction
to that alleged against him.

One of the wiinessfs, Robert Martin, stated, that
he is an engineer in, the employ of Messrs. Barclsy
and Perkins, and that he is a perfect stranger to all
the parties. That he happened to be near the spot at

the time, and saw the defendant taking a cup of coffee
at the stall, and heard him talking to some other man,
but not in a manner to disturb the neighbourhood.
That he (witness) then observed the policeman come
up, and order the defendant to go on, who at the
moment was drinking the coffee, and the latter made
a reply that he was disturbing no person, and that he
did not see why he should be interfered with. The
defendant then placed his empty coffee-cup on the
stall, when the policeman, without uttering another
word, rushed at the man, knocked him down on his
back, and a bottle being in his coat-pocket it was
smashed, and it was only surprising he was not
seriously injured. The witness added, that the con-
duct of the policeman throughout was scandalous,
and that the defendant committed no offence to justify
such brutality as that which was inflicted upon him.
In reply to Mr. ATECIEBTT, the witness said, that
it was untrue of the policeman to assert that there
were a number of women on the spot at the time,
there only being two females present; that the de-
fendant might have been talking rather loud, but not
at all in a tone to disturb the inhabitants. He (wit-
ness) distinctly saw the policeman rush at the man
and knock him down in the way described.

Another witness confirmed this evidence.
Mr. ATECIEETT said it was necessary that police-
men should be protected in the execution of their
duty. In this particular case, however, it appeared
that there were no just grounds for the policeman's
interference with the defendant, while drinking his
coffee, and that instead of the latter committing the
first assault, it was proved by two competent wit-
nesses that the policeman was the aggressor. The
public must also be proteeted from such conduct as
that described, and, therefore, under the circum-
stances; he should discharge the defendant. The ma-
gistrate then entered his decision of the case on the
police-sheet, which it is probable will cause further
investigation into the matter by the Commissioners of
Police.
