Bowyer, one of the po- licemen ot the city of New York, was complained against by Stephen R. Thorne, for having. on Sunday, the 2ist May, 1848, at about 11 P, M., struck him three blows with & weapon called a= billy.” ‘The complaint having been made in the usual manner, a day was ap- pointed for its invertigution, and at that time, the par- ties respectively appeared before me, in person and by counsel Mr. Thorne's counsel stated. the charge as comprehending three distinct off ices, viz:—1, Violent, lent behavi ur; 2, Unfitness for duty; of orders. ‘The specifications of these charges relate exclusively to the arsault above men- tioned, and therefore it will not be necessary for me to consider them serietim. They form, in fact, but one complaint, anu will be thus disposed of The witnesses for the parties having been duly examined, Mr Bow- yer. according to the practice imsuch cases, submitted a written statement, and the counsel on both sides furnished me with written arguments. [ have delibe- rately examined the testimony and arguments, giving them all the reflection necessary to form a sa- tirfactory judgment in the case, and now pre= ceed to state the conclusion at which [ have arrived, | It was chjected by Bowyer’s counael, at the commence. ment of the investigation, that the complaint had no | reference to Bowyer’s official conduct, and was not therefore the subject of complaint ; this position I decided to be untenable for reasons which I now state I consider that a policeman, in his relations with the public, is always on duty, so far as to require that no- Lice be taken ofall complaints duly made against them. The offices. charged must necessarily bayetthor personal or official: persoual when they apply sofely to the indi- vidual. and do not injuriously affect the character or discipline of the department; official when they are committed in the py oe of public duty, and do | it; and the investigation must in all cases be in the entire evidence it may ultimately be determined whether the complaint affect the oMeial or | clusively the personal capacity of the accused. Citizens who become policemen, although considerod by | some © the monials of t do not lose their rights as individuals; they continue to have personal relations towards rociety with which the public have cern; but such of th private actions as necessarily | disgrace their cflicial position and injuriously affect the character and discipline of the departmente, should never be suffered to pass without investigation nor | withont punishment. This rule equally dete: mines the fitness of the citizen to be appoint- ed a policeman, and to be continued in the de- parunent when appointed; and if candidate should not be ected who may have indulged ractices or committed nets which in a policeman might he regarded us disqualifying him tor office, if there be sufficient reason to believe that he will not repeat them when in authority ; neither should an isolated personal impropriety. committed by a polic | man of deportment generally good, under cireum- stances affording j ion for his condubt, be visited with undue severity, or deemed to destroy his ity for office. I have stated these general prin- because they have police department. » remains to be ng to the charges fications that they do not relate to any offeial ac the acoused, and they no further affect his offictal ea- pacity than in being supposed by the complainant to exhibit in him a violent and revengeful temper, lead- ing him to the perpetration of what the complainant alleges to be an unprovoked assault, with wh also alleges to be an il weapon. ‘Vo. det mine how far this accusation is supported, it pecessary that I first find what are the the ease, and then apply to them these rales to which I have referred. From the evidence before me I learn the occurrence complained of to be 2s follo On the night in question, Bowyer stopped at the “Ivy Green,” kept by Mr. Malachi Fallon, and having taken a glass of soda water, was advancing towards | Fallon, who was seated at the window, when he was | accosted by Thorne, who stood at the bar. evidently under the influence of liquor, and to whom Bowyer on | entering had given a passing salutation. ‘Thorne com. | menced a converrntion with Bowyer by accusing the | latter of ng wilfully omitted to notice him in the | street on several occasions, and having passed bim as | if he were an “animal.” Bowyer excused himself, by stating that when his mind was intent on briness, | he frequently passed his best friends without notiein: them. Then, Bowyer, anxious as it appears, to avoid | farther conversation with Thorne, seated himself by | Mr. Fallon, ind commenced talking with him on police | matters, when ‘Thorne again accosted him, urged Bowyer to drink with him, which the latter’ several times declined. declaring at length that he would not | Limeelf drink, but if Thorne wished a drink, he, Bow- | yer, would pay for it; Thorne then began a series of | questions to Bowyer, as to where he resided, where his | property was, where he paid ¢ where he had his washing dene, and others ot the sume nature? evident- | ly devigved to show that Bowyer was not legally quali- lence; to be a policeman in the city of New and during the com ation, offered to bet that | Bowyer had no right to be an officer. To all these | questions, Bowyer gave brief but civil answers, en- Geavoring to avoid ‘Thorne, and keep up his conversa- | tion with Mr. Fallon. While thus engaged, Mr. Higgins, | an officer from Broeklyn, entered, and asked Bowyer tostep to the door o2 business. Bowyer tried to rise to | go out, when Thorne put bis hand on Bowyer's breast © prevent his rising, telling him, also, “not to go yat.”” Fallon then took hold of Thorne by the arm, and told | Lim to let Bowyer go, as he had business. Bowyer got | up, and was going towards the door, when Thorne seized the lappel of his coat, Bowyer taking hold of Thorne’s hand to disengage himself, and telling Thorne to let | goof him. ‘Thorne asked Bowyer what he meant Bowyer told him, sharply, to let go of him, which Fal- | lon says was the first time Bowyer showed any excite- | ment. and therefore Fallon tock hold of Thorne and told him to let go of Bowyer, which he then did, and Bowyer went out of the door.’ On his leaving, Thorne said“Bowyer had no right to be an officer, and he (Vhorne) did not like him any how,” This was atin a tone loud enough to be heard by Bowyer, who n the stoop; aud just after it was uttered, Thorne, who up to this time had a cane in his hand.

Second—That under the circumstances of the case, the violence on the part of Bowyer was not unprovok- the complainant alleges, but on the contrary, was produced by provocation of a taunting and aggra vating character, wantonly offered by Thorne. Thorne was sufficiently lexoitedg by liquor ‘to be quarrelsome. His language, and the spirit evinced in his conyers tion with Bowyer, showed any thing but a friendly or social feeling. His interruptions of Bowyer's con- | yersation with Fallon, which Bowyer commenced | to avoid Thorne ; his atttempt to Keep Bowyer in | his seat, when the latter sought to rise and leave | the ros on business; the rude grasp with which he seized Bowyer, and the difficulty with which | that brarp Was released ; his expression of ill feeling towards Bowyer when the latter had left the room, | and wheh, from the testimony of Fallon, Bowyer could not hear; his laying down or throwing down his cane, and passing out of the house, not for the mere purpose of leaving the premises, but, as his man. uer clearly indicated, with the design of giving further vent to his iil feelings against Bowyer ; and fhis entire conduct throughout the transaction,all show a determi- him. ‘Then his seizure of Bowyer & Higgins outside: his nation to irritate Bowyer and provoke a quarrel with clinging to Bowyer after he had released Higgins ; his retaining that hold until after the first blow,and thei tention he evinced to close in upon Bowyer, unt{l 4 gered by the third blow; these facts place’ Thorne the light of an aggressor, and, in my opinion, f rnish. | ed a justification to Bowyer in using force to get rid of | his assailant. Third.-Being satisfied that Bowyer was justified in us- | ing force to repel the assault,the next question sugg: ed,isywhether he used improper force, or more than was necersasy for his protection. under the circumstances. To determine this satisfactorily to myself against Bowyer, | would require to be placed ie evidence in his situation, and to be thus enabi to exercise under the same circumstance in which he was placed | the judgment he possessed. I cannot obtain such a | position, and will not, therefore, attempt to decide e: actly what should be done by him who occupied it. am aware that the law does not attacked in wae to be necessary in protecting himself against an as- sailant—he cannot convert a mere rude aggression into the pretext for gratifying revenge.

Fourth—The mere fact that Bowyer carried or used a billy’? cannot change my views of thiscase The nature of the business in which policemen are « r quires them to have some protection. They conti- nually encounter burglars and desperado-s of the worst character, who, when engaged in the tra tonof crime, are generally armed. I cannot, there- fore, prohibit policemen from Yj themselves against the desperate men with whom they come in contact, day and night. But I will hold them strictly accountable, according to the rules and regulations of the department, for the use of any weapon whatever. In this particular case, Bowyer did not use the * billy” in any official proceeding, nor according to my views of the case, was his resort to force ui salt In conclusion, I repeat my conviction, that evidence in this case, Bowyer has not subjected t» any punishment under the rules and ns the police department. And therefore, leaving this justice, as a private case to the ordinary tribunals of controvers ween two citizens, ic their personal. ca- pacity, to be judged of asthe law may warrant, I dis- pose of it, so far as Bowyer’s offleial position is conoern- ed, by dismissing the complaint, W.
