THE POLICE AND THE UN-
EMPLOYED

At the Thames Police-court this morning, summonses were granted, on the application of Mr. Thompson, barrister, against an Inspector of police and a constable for assaulting  Lewis Diemschitz, steward of the Socialist Club, Berne-street, Whitechapel, on the occasion of the dispersal of a demonstration of Jewish unemployed last Sunday. Subsequently Lewis Diemschitz, 30, an unlicensed hawker, of 40, Berner-street, St. George’s-in-the-East, Samuel Friedmann, and Isaac Kozensbrodske, were charged with assaulting several persons on the occasion of a disturbance at the Socialist Club in Berner-street, last Sunday. Contradictory evidence was given by the police and some of the Socialists, and the magistrate sent the case to the Sessions, allowing accused out on bail.
