rant was issued.
Watchmen Beating a PriSoner.-D. X. Morrison,
an engineer on a river boat, yesterday made affi-
davit before Recorder Genois, that between ii and
u o'clock on Sunday night he was arrested on 81.
Louis street, between Marais and IRENE Streets by
order of Lieut. Viot, of the IRENE police, and, while
being taken to the guard-house, was, without
cause or provocation, struck on the head with
clubs and otherwise violently iu-treated by the
watchmen who had him in charge The COM
plainant does not know the names of the watch
men, and no clue can be had to their names from
the record of the IRENE guard-house. 1t is the
rule, on making arrests, to note the name of the
prisoner, the names of the officers who make the
arrest and the charge, on book kept for the pur-
pose and the non-observance of the practice in
understand Mr.. Morrison was standing quietly in
the street door Of a house when he was arrested,
and that Lieut.. Viot was so intoxicated at the time
as to be entirely unfit for proper discharge OF his
duty Several complaints have been made against
him Of late of unjustifabe arrests and overbeaFing
conduct The watchmen, when their names be-
come known, will be criminally prosecuted, and
Recorder Genois, with the view of having all i'm
pcated receiving their deserts, purposes bringing
the matter to the attention of the Police Committee
of the First Municipality Council The prompt
ness with which Recorder GenOis Furnishes the
deIinquencies of police officers connected with his
court does him credit and it is to be hoped the
Council will be no less prompt in Kidding the police
of such members as abuse their authority. They
should be made an example, to teach that a police
Is instituted for the protection of citizens, and not
as an instrument of tyranny.
Charge Of Severely Wounding BrotleF.-A. b.

Bayou Bridge, yesterday made affidavit before Re-

The MILLER FoRGERY.-The trial of Miller, a
money broker, for forging the signature of Bellnap,
a railroad contractor TO several notes, is still in
progress at Boston, All the witnesses for the pro-
secuion have united in declaring the notes for
reries, committed by tracing the signature Of the
genuine, probably on a window pane, or by SINH
lar means. This conclusion is arrived at from the
exact correspondence of the signatures, which it is
supposed could not have occurred in ordinary wri-
ting. The defence is that they are genuine, and
the principal witness relied upon to prove them so,
is Miller's clerk, who in the habit of filling up
notes for Belknap to sign. The evidence generally
goes 10 prove that a very extensive system OF mu-
tual accommodation existed between Mr. Belknap
and Mr.. Miller. A hotel keeper deposed that Bel
KNAPP once got out of bed TO sign dozaR notes
which he took up to him for Miller. The case ex-
cites unusual interest in Boston.

day arrested at the request of w. w. White, who
charges them with attempting to defraud him of
$1,000 We were not able TO learn the particulars
Of the case as the arrest made late in the after

scented himself to be free, and by drawing prize
in the Havana lottery possessed of large sum of
money in prospective, upon which he wanted to
borrow the amount of which he attempted to de-
