§ MR. PICKERSGILL (Bethnal Green, S.W.)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether his attention has been called to the following extract from the evidence of Mr. J. S. Hepworth, solicitor, given at the hearing on Tuesday last, at the Marylebone Police Court, of a charge against Mr. Harry Inwood of assaulting Police constable James M'Cawley:—
The prisoner implored someone to go and fetch a policeman, and when one arrived the prisoner asked him to take the prosecutor into custody, and I told him that M'Cawley was the one who should be charged, as I had seen it all;78 and, whether he will cause inquiry to be made into the conduct of this policeman in arresting Mr. Inwood instead of Constable M'Cawley?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.), in reply, said, he understood that the case had been dealt with at the Marylebone Police Court that day, and the Report of the Chief Commissioner of Police would be made to him.
