Both men became extremely violent when taken into custody, and it required six policemen to get them to the stalion.

Detective-Sergeant Lynch said it was with the greatest difficulty that he prevented De Bruin from biting him.

De Bruin said he could not help biting the officer because he twist- ed his arm, and he was in great agony. He also alleged that the oficer struck him twice in the eye. This was denied.

In cross-examination, De Bruin said at the last public-house they visited they were refused drink. He had seven or eight glasses of beer, but was not drunk. Thero was a political argument which resulted in a crowd becoming hos- tile,
