tree ot thfe Spread Eagle, said that on the 28th of May she was in charge of the public hbuse. About 8 p.m. three men, • company with Proctor entered the h ^ and Proctor and his man had both had ditnk and the other two were perfectly ,aober. Broettor asked for dTUik,. and sne fold him he had hud quite pderity, being in charge .of a horse, and he ought Jo go 'home. They were ,ndt soiber. Shle did not sen'c any of them;, -they all came Kogether aind they all went -away_ tqgetheir. She .said (here had been no drink served as thex' had


had plenty. Mr. Read, for (he defence, said the police .


were in ipla.in clothes and when the driver refused to give h'te name and address they very rightly took liiim to the poifee station. Mr. Proctor wais anxious to have hfe horse and trap and fdl'lowed 'them for thait par- ticulrur purpose, and bec.T,use he asked -for compensation he was taken Co the police station. Tlie police made a mistake; liav- ing made a mllsitake they attempted to cover up the case some wiry. It wa's a case of oredibifitv and there were sdrions diiscrep- anoies iii the evidence. Proctor gave the paUce a Hist of the public 'houses where he ■had called and what he had -fo drink and Lamb Roe was one o;f (ham, and he had a small rum at that public house. Miss Briggs said there were four men and tliat not one of them was served, clearly it was a diffelmn-t party attogiKtllien she^ ‘had ru- fiised. T'here were'bystanders iiiii IVhallJey who .saw defendant being marched to the poifiCe staition by the Sergeant and the Con­ stable a,nd thev cou'ld not see that he was drunk. They also sa.w Proctor walk off and heard 'that oanversation denied by one officer and admitted by the other.

the Bench had carefully considered the case, and the police ware quite justified in tak­ ing the case to court, but they would, undMr the circumstances, dismiss the case on p,i,v. merit of costs.
