We understand that Super intendent Webb, of the Metropolitan pollcee has given orders to bis force forbidding the us of this cowardly and murderous eapon. Acaso has been reported to us wherein the billy was UBcd In an outrageous manner. Seve ral sailors went to tho house of Mr. Dickson, In tho Sixth wuid, and rang the bell. A female Iu tho housowent to tho window and asked what was wantud. She received an Insulting answer, and tho sailors wero ordered away. A police officer, hearing a portion of tho collo quy, pursued the man, and, Instead of arresting him, as he ought, drew a heavy lead billy and struck him a eat ago blow ou tho head, which was dealt with such force as to break the ban dlo of the instrument. It is hoped that this barbarous system of making arrests will be abolished 1 B II Claims to be a Lotal Citizen James . WUklns. who lives near Sudley Mills.
