and told hint he had used the man very' ithanwfully, and teque,!e I
to know what be had done to deserve it? Dacey made 'o ans‘e,r,
but ordered the watchman to take hint (th servant) into custody,
for attempting to rescue the man Chitty. Ile was dragged to axe

with his rattle. lie did ndt remain, but returned home to 1.4
master's house, in Hanover-square ; and when he reached the s•-e,
they passed him on the way to the watch-hawse with Chitty. ji.:
certainly did lay
-hold of the watchman's coat, and inquired what the
man had done to be so ill-treated? when he himself was dragged te
the witch-house, as was also the Count San Antonio, his mister.
The Count was then sworn.—He stated that he had a•charge tti
make against the patrol, of as gross an outrage as was ever c,:r.
neitted on any Gentleman. About twelve o'clock at night he was
returning -home from Long's Hotel, Bond-street ; when in Charier
street, Hanevcr-square, he SCal surprised to tee his servant, within,'
his hat, bring dragged along; in a most savage planner, by 'elm.:
watchmen. lie heard the servant repeatedly say, " ik.dt e-.,,,
me, I'll go quietly." Witness at first felt alarmed, thialti.ig tk ;
something had happened at his house, and asked the watchmea %eh..
he had dune? One of them -told him he cried to rescue t:te r'-.
soner, and that they were going to take Mm to the watch-11w,,

"watchmen obeyed his orders, and he was (jugged id hike nianr.tr

.11acey behaved most impudently, and although he knew he w.i
Count San Antonio, be kept alluding to him as Vila .1/r. ilatioi;.,
and insisted on the night-constable taking charge of him, but alt.;
some expostulation on the part of the !atter, be was permitted :u

Th'e Count said, iu his opinion, a more flagrant outrage had not
"been committed, and called to: the interference of the Magistrate..
Dacey endeavoured to justify his conduct, when he was inter-
rupted by the Magistrate, who told him, in the lira place, be did
wrong in taking the Count's valet into custody for the attempt :*
rescue, when there was not the slightest ground for it ; and has
conduct towards the Count himself was most eatraordinary. A
more infamous cue of misconduct had never been before Ilia:,
and he would make an example of him; as a warning to other. to
be more circumspect in the perforinance of their duty --The valet
was than discharged; and .heir. Dram ordered Dacey to be ma-
pended for one mouth, for the outrage on Count San Antonio.
