At the Petty Sessions held on 23 July, William Callaghan, a private soldier belonging to the rifle brigade, at present stationed in this town on recruiting service, was charged by Police Constable 71, Thomas Smith, with being drunk and disorderly and creating a disturbance in Windsor Street, and threatening to stab Mr & Mrs Reynolds, of the Crispin Beer-house, situate in that street. While being conveyed to the lockup, a sergeant belonging to the 61 st Regiment tried to incite the prisoner to resist the constable by making use of improper language, and holding a stick over his head said “No bloody policeman should take any of the military to a station house.” The prisoner was ultimately conveyed to the police station, followed by a great crowd of persons, some of whom took up stones with the intention of throwing them at the police, but were deterred from doing so by the presence of several respectable persons. The prisoner was sent to prison for one month, and the sergeant was fined £2. 10s.
