A somewhat Different version.

Ia regard to the arrest at night b.
eoIored constable and his assistants Of an
elderly white woman, on q warrant oharg-
ing her with Obtaining goods under false
pratenses, some reference to which was
publishsd yesterday morning, John Nc
Gowan, the constable implicated, makes o
written statement which gives the affair a
somewhat different version from that of
public rumor. In this statement, the con-
Stable saws that he called on the lady with
the warrant first issued by Justice x. ID.
Campbell and informed her Of is nature
AID his duty to arrest her. She replied TO
this summons in abusive words,
and also objected to being tried
by a negro magistrate. He says
he made no reply to the abusive
eoithets heaped upon hun. She agreed,
however, to 60 before Justice Wilkinson,
and did so, but the prosecutrix objected
and insisted that the trial take place ct the
ofice Of Campbell. Tue pEosecatrix az
forwards changed her notion, and con-
sented that Justice Wilkinson might try
the case. TIE acc1sed not being ready
for trial, the hearing was detsrrsd, no
other security THAI her word being re-
ouired of her He says she failed to ap-
pear, and he went after her repeatedly,
bat Jailed to ind her at home. Tne pros
ecutrix was growing uneasy, snd charged
the constable with being too slow Ia the
performances of his duty. Early after SUI
per on the same day, be veot to
the house of tie accused. Kro king
at the door, it was opened by female in
mate of the house. The accused was then
in bed, and the constable says she oeg4n
TO abuse him more vigorously than ever,

in a carriage and conveyed TO the residence
