Since the incorporation of the City of Char. lottctcwn, the Reports of the Police Court have exhibited a number of persons who have been arraigned on the charge of being drunk and dis- orderly; and your paper of the 27th February represents a person as having been brought be orc the Court “ For violent assault on three Police Constables, and battery in breaking the finger of one of said Constables.” “ llis Wor- ship dcscanted on the iinpropricty and don er or ‘itizcns, or other persons to interfere with and especially to assault and beat the police while in the discharge of their duty." “In the present instance, ll police man was disabled a crson who, when in his sober senses, would not wilfully hurt any person." Now the clear infcrencc dcducible from these words is, that“ J. G.” was, when he perpetrated the act, in his drunken senses, or, that as J. G. did not commit the deed, therefore, is it Rum, the Ruinseller, or J. G. that is guilty!

“ liis Worshi also showed, that while per- sons injured 0 cers in the execution of the Laws were subject to punishment, and to da- mage, and if death ensued to the oﬂicer the person causin it might be hanged.” Now as .l..G., from t e Mayor's showing, would not injure an _pe_rson wilfully in his " sober san- scs ’ An if it had so hap cried that in bi, drunl-en sense: he had killed t e policeman, who in such a case should be “ hanged!" Should it be Ruin, tbc liuuiscller, or J. G.l or would it be right to burn Mr. Rum, ban .the Ruin- seller, and whi J. 0.? The City ouncillors, i presume, will determine.
