IMPORTANT TO CoSsTABLEs.-At the trial
Of Michael Breen, on Tuesday last, In the
Criminal Court, for assaulting and resisting
George T. Gibbons In the discharge of his
duty as constable, L. g. Hine, esq, coun-
sci for Breon, raised the point, and made 1t
part OF his defence, that Gibbons was not
at the time of the assault constable, and
proved from the records and files Of the
Supreme Court of the District that there
was about IL months in the year 1867 when
Gibbons was out Of commission, and that
| the last bond he filed as constable had not
been approved by the clerk Of the court us
required by law.
The act Of Congress Of March 0, 1868, pro-
vides that constables shall be appointed by
the Supreme Court OF the District, and shall
file bond, every alternate year, In the sum
of $500, approved by the clerk, for the faith
full performance OF his duty. 1t appeared
that Gibbons had allowed an interval OF
about l. months to elapse between the cX.
piration Of his prior bond and the time Of the
tiling Of his last bond, and that his last bond
had not been approved by the clerk.
Mr.. Hine maintained that Mr.. Gibboni
had acted for nearly two years as constable
without right, because the court had not re
appointed him at the time of filing his las
bond, and that his bond had not been ap
proved by the clerk. The court sustained
, the above position Of Mr.. Hine, aud hopeI
that others acting rs constablcs would TAX
warning, and look well to their appointment
, and bonds. Mr.. Brcen was acquitted.
