AIConstabIe's Power.

The following extract from charge
TO jury recently by Judge White, of
Pennsylvania. may be of Importance 10
the public: THE Office of a constable is
ancient, his duties important and powers
large; his general duty Is to keep the
peace, and for this purpose he may arrest,
imprison. break open doors and the like;
a constable may justify an arrest for a
reasonable cause on suspicion alone; put
the prisoner In jail and the jailer must
receive him. The power and authority
of policeman has been made kindred TO
that of constable. A constable or q
policeman cannot be arbitrary and ty.
rannical; he cannot go into house just
because he is a constable or policeman;
he cannot arrest man on the street just
because he is such an officer. There must
appear TO his mind at the time a public me-
cessity for it. Notwithstanding the theo.
ry that every mans house is his castle,
If bedlam is going on In there. or dis
turbance is going on in the house and
the policeman sees il, he has q right to
go and break the door and get in; but he
must act with discretion.
