F. F. Tynan, Chief of police. Oflicer Warren theu cauio forward end asked permission, under the regulations, to be allowed counsel. Permission being given, Mr. G. liattnu appeared for him. Tho first charge of being absent from the city without permission was takon up, and tho oflicer plead guilty. Tho board then proceeded with the second charge, Robert J. Bass, a member of the police forco of Norfolk, was culled ami testified as lollows: Ho went to to tho Norfolk aud Wostern depot and on his return from there he came buck to tho end of his beat, and saw an oflicer and asked the re suit uf tho meeting of tho Norfolk Commissioners. Ho suw the ollicer ou the cur ami asked Oflicer Seay who that ollicer was, and his reply was a drunken policemen from Portsmouth. Ho weut down' Fen church street and ho followed and saw him tulking to u negio woman. Ho asked him what he was doing; theu tho ollicer said: "I don't kuow thut is any of your business." My remark was are "you drunk? His reply was: "Can't you tell? You are a petty policemen if you can't tell when a mau is drunk. You had better carry me to the station house-" My reply was: "I will."

"Do you arrest a man and carry him to the station house und then, because you think he will lose his job, withdraw your charges?" "Yes, wheu it is a foolish charge." Capt.

When cross questioned by conn? ed? "Captain, is it a part of tho regit lations when uu arrest is made that it bo entered on the slato?" Answer?"It depends upon cir cnmBtaucos. Not all the time.
