DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF GOVERNMENT SER-
VANTS.—AIfred Blake and George Collins, two
big, powerful men, were brought before Mr. Selfe,
charged with the most disgraceful conduct.
William Oliver, 384 B, said that at half-past
three yesterday afternoon he was passing through
Princes-street, Westminster, when he met the two
defendants. Blake immediately said, " Here is a
Bobby," and then proceeded to use most
filthy language. Witness told him to go away,
when Blake immediately attacked him right and left
about the face and head. Complainant struck
him on the shoulders and back of the
head with a truncheon. At this time Collins came
up and held complainant, while Blake was striking
him, and also tried to take his truncheon from him.
Blake was rescued by him, but two other constables
coming up he was retaken.
Mr. Selfe—What was their condition ?

Complainant—Blake was drunk ; the other had
been drinking, but knew full well what he was

doing.

M. Morgans, police-constable, said that when he
came up Blake struck him several blows on the
aide of the head and kicked him repeatedly.

An M.P.'s butler also gave evidence at full length.
Ele said that the attack was most disgraceful, and
he conduct of the policeman entitled to much com-

mendation.

Mr. Selfe said there were other nanics of disin-
terested persons on the police-sheet who had volun-
teered their testimony for the constables, and he
found the defendants were both watchmen at Somer-
set House.

Blake said he was drunk and very sorry; the other
denied the charge.

Mr. Selfe —The only question on my mind is
whether I ought not to send you for trial, but I
will take into consideration that you will both lose
your situations. It is most disgraceful to find per-
sons conducting themselves in this way—especially
Government servants, and the language used in
broad daylight in such a public place is a great
aggravation of the offence. Blake you are com-
mitted for two months:vrithout a fine ; Collins, you
are fined 405., or 14 days.

Blake—Pray put a fine upon me. I have a wife
and three children.

Mr. Selfe—You should have thought of them

before.
