eges that he left the county for the purpose Of arrcsng
thief and pot belaed and was not able in time
to answer to his name at roll call The respondent has
been long time connected with the Department, and
must have been perfectly acquainted with the rules and
regulations and his wu disobedence Of them cannot be
overlooked matter how audabe the object he had in

search Of the thief out of the county and he pre-
fcrrod violate the rules rather than take the trouble Of
obtaining permission leave the county he must suffer
the penalty 1t is therefore ordered and adudged that
the respondent be- and he is hereby suspended from pay
for days
respondent is charged with having been found asleep
his post The charge is fully sustained by the Sergeant
who says that after searching time for the respond
eni he found him lying sOop asleep that he called
him three four times, but he did not not awake that
be- then awoke him by pushing him in his side with his
club ON being awakened. the respondent got up and
complained of having headache This testimony Is cor
robOraed by another Sergeant who accompanied him.
The respondent alleges that he was sick with headache,
and introduced his partner, who teShed that the re,
sponden complained TO him some two hours previous OF
having sick headache and the Captain testified that he
reported sick the following morning and for three
days aIterward That the respondent might have been
sick on the following day is very probable and no doubt
true but to his being sick on the night in quesons
quite different matter: Had he been suffering
fiOm attack Of sick headache. he would
not have been able to lie down ON stoop
and get into such sound sleep as to require force
to awake him That he might have had head
ache is very probable but il was not of such severe
character TO unfit him for duty Moreover fhe had been
unable to discharge his duty he should have got his
partner to take charge of his post and reported himself at
the Station House The General Order requires that when
oundaseep his post he shall be dismissed from
ce unless full and satisfactory excuse given, and il
is for the good of the department and the welfare of the
City that this general order should be rgdly enforced
Policemen expected TO be more vigan in the
performance of their duties in the night time for the
that citizens retire TO their beds and leave their lives and
property TO the care of the Police and if the sentinel is
allowed to sleep his post were far better TO be without
th,m the citizens would not then rest in false security
As this directly within the rule, II Is ordered
and aGiudeed that the respondent be- and he is hereby dis
MISSED from the Police Department.
