RIGHT OF ARREST.
A CONSTABLE'S APPEAL. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, February 14. The appeal of Constable Turner against the decision of the Magistrate who convicted and fined him for assaulting a man named I'a Hereon, was aigued before Mr and lined for so doing. The question turned on whether the constable acted rightly in arresting Patterson, who had tseu unjustifiable language to the officer and who was duly convicted and fined for so dbinug. The Judge said that the extreme course of arresting without a warrant, should be carefully scrutinised. In the present case it was quite clear that the constable had no justification for the arrest. The appeal therefore was dismised, but without costs, as respondent had brought all the trouble on himself.
