BOW. STREET -THIS DA Y

NI ISCONDUCT OF WATCHMEN.

Patrick nun. a well-known character, was brought up on z
charge of as:iault, but the complainatjtv who resided itt
wax net in attendance.

Mr. Bartlett, the watch-house-keeper, said, at the werh-holrie,
last night, the watchman, Pomeroy, said the prisoner alto str_;Lk
him. In fict he was a desperate character.
Mr. lisus (to the watchman).—Did he strike you?
Pomeroy.—Why, Sir, he pushed me down.
Mr. do you call that ?
Mr. Bartlett again stepped forward. Ile had to complain to !:.is
Worship that a system very generally predominated amonr;! ty,
watchmen which ought to be put down. They were, and he
not mean to confine himself to one or two, in the habit of m,.ka:i
out a strong charge at the watch-house, which of course caused
rcilon to be detained. However, when they came before the
Magistrate the next day, they forgot sometimes the chief par: of
the former story, and very rarely told the same tale. Ile had non
seen the parties whispering together, and he felt no clout): ther
,Vas some substruWa! reason for the watchmen not being so rea.'..l
to cit.irge the prisoner.
Mr. flat ts deprecated the system complained of, and directed
that the evidence should always be written down elactly as it w;:i
given at the watch-h 'use ; and then, if the watchmen though: 5:
to apt in the manner complained of, the 3ligistratei knew huts !a
act with them.

Thr rrlioner having been searched, and nothing found on him,
was discharged.
