REFUSAL To HE AB. AIQ ATTORNEY.--At the police
court on Tueoclay last, Mr. Pope, attorney, who appeared
for the 16feime of two youths, named Francis Ellis and
lm Davies, charged with burglary,-was refused to he

rising to dddress the bench, Mr. Wyberg,h requested to
know whether le (Mr. Pope) had furnished the informa-
firm +nnirsio;r, araicr 'AAA rirnmies,cl to fnrnich_

which tended directly to impeach the.-character of
f Ontheing questioned at the time as-to the cir-
cumstances, Mr. Pope had promised to inform Captain
Greig who was -hie authority for the accusation, but he
had not np to the present time done so, although some
months had -now elapsed.—Mr. Pope said the case ,was of
daily occurrence In every judicial court in England.—
Magistrate To charge an officer with felony ?—Mr. Tope :
It is a daily occurrence in every court for an advocate to
follow his instructions. I did not know the .informant,
but he was an officer ~rho was on the Lime street-beat.
He had, he said, done 41i that was in his powerin the case.
Magistrate : You must -recollect that the character of •at_
officer is of too umehimportance to be dealt lightly with.
If you had any such Instructions, you should have taken
pains to ascertain that there were grounds to rest them'
Wybergh. said Mr. Pope had had every oppor-
*unity of explanung.—Mr.7ope : I tried to bring the man
!here.—After a remark from Mr. Clough, the magistrate
.said that it was a matter of -too much importance that the
pare should be accused of any thing unjustly, and with-
out the slightest grounds, without being noticed. In the
present case Mr. Pope had had an opportunity of bringing
forward the officer he had named, and, under the cir -
stances, he declined to hear him in the court. The case
then proceeded, and the prisoners *being asked what they
had to -say, Mr. Pope rose and said, " I appear."—The
Magistrate : I cannot hear you. —Mr. Pope : I understand
you, and must make an application elsewhere. The
prisoners -were remanded for seven days. When the
prisoners were being taken away Mr. Pope again rose, and
addressing 'himself to the magistrate, said, "Probably'
sir, I may ask for your name."—The IlLagistrate : My,
name is Hamilton.—Mr. Pope : Because it is a most un-
justifiableinterference as regardsme. Hethenleft the court.
A somewhat. similar occurrence took place in the Police-
court, on the fallowing day, when Mr. Pope again ap-
peared. In this case he defended John Banks, charged
with an assault upon Harriett Ann Hopkins. On pro-
ceeding to state that his client was charged here with an
assault; for which damages were sought to be recovered in
the County Court, he was told by the magistrate that he
could not be heard. Mr. Pope referred Mr. Wybergh to
a. section in an act of parliament, which he (Mr. Pope)
said bore upon the point. Mr. Wybergh declined to offer
an opinion ; but stated that he had, on a previous day,
advised the magistrate that Mr. Pope could not be heard,
and he would repeat that advice to whatever magistrate
might preside. It was, he said, in consequence of an im.
propriety, on the part cf Mr. Pope, that he had felt him-
self called on so to act. Mr. Pope was about to make some
further observations, when Mr. Smith, the magisfrate,
said he could not hear him. Mr. Pope! Then I shall
make an application to Mr. Justice 1% ightman. Mr.
Smith : If I am compelled to hear you, I will do so, but
not otherwise. Mr. Wybergh said he had advised the
magistrates as to the course they should pursue. Mr.
Smith observed that Mr. Pope had made an accusation
against a respectable police officer, and when asked for his
authority he said he could produce it, but had never done
so. Mr. Pope thought the magistrate would probably
understand him better afterwards ; he considered he was
bound to hear him as an advocate. - The magistrate in-
quired the nature of the case. Mr.. Pope said it was an
assault, and the refusal to hear him 6eelAg4 to be an
attempt to defeat the ends of justice.
