SEcEssios OF A PoLIcE CoURT.-On several occa-
sons, during the past year, there has been clash Of
authority between the Police Commissioners and the
Police Magistrates which has at length resulted in
an antagonsm between tie rival powers highly pre-
udcie to the interest Of the public. At each Police
Court there are detailed Sergeant and several officers
to perform sueh Police duty may be required OF
them. On the 18th OF December, an order was Issued
to the Sergeanfs directing them not 10 allow any OIL
Of their command to perform aRy service Tor the
Magistrate or Clerk, which did not come directly
within the bounds Of Police duty This prohibited the
delivery by the officers of any sealed documents. Ser
geant Deg6 Of the Essex Market Court, showed this
order to Justice Brennan, whereupon the Magistrate
told the Sergeant that he did not wish TO get OF
bis men in trouble, he should call upon him personally,
when he had occasion, for his services. On
the following day, Justice Brennan called upon
Sergeant Dege deliver three sealed letters which the
officer most respectfully declined to do. Thereupon the
Magistrate informed the Sergeant that he no longer
recognized him as an officer of the Court. The follow
ing day, Justice Steers succeeded Justice Brennan
upon the Bench, continuing to ofeiae until Monday
morning. without clasbing with the police officers.
When Justce Brennan resumed HIS seat on Monday ne
found the Sergeant at his accustomed post and again
notified him that be did not recognize him as an officer
Of the Court, and forbade him doing duty The ofeer
replied that he was simply o6eyng orders and should
to take seat among the spectators, which the officer
refused TO do Thereupon the Magistrate directed On
cers Dyckman and Leggitt individually to remove the
Sergeant, all Of which those officers respectfully de-
elined doing, and were accordingly suspended from
duty. Finding that Of the officers would obey his
orders Justice Brennan adjourned TO the Tombs. Tie
subsequently returned to Essex Market, where he
transacted such business he could without the as
distance Of the policemen. POO
Before leaving the Court on Monday afternoon, the
Justice instructed the janitor Of the building TO
allow 70 enter until he should arrive. Accord
ingiy when Sergeant Dege and his command appeared
OH Tuesday morning. they found tho doors of the court
room closed against them. The Ward officers soon
began to make their appearance with prisoners, but
all kept out in the cold udul the arrival OF the
Justice. About II o'clock the magistrate appeared,
and Immediately Instructed the jantor who Is also
Deputy Sheriff TO guard the door and allow OF the
Metropolitan officers claiming TO be attached to the
Court TO enter All officers having prisoners IN charge
and all persons desiring admittance spectators he
was instructed 90 admit. The Ward officers accord
ngly took their prisoners before the Magistrate who
disposed of them according to their deserts The Court
officers were eventually allowed inside the Court
but only spectators the Magistrate persisting in his
refusal TO recognize them officers of the Court.
