Again In Custody.—Ex-Policeman Hussey, of the Eighteenth district, was arrested again yesterday and taken before Alderman Devitt, and held to answer the charge of carrying concealed deadly weapons and with committing an assault and battery. It seems that Mr. Hussey, in company with ex-Policeman Samuel Baxter, was walking along Richmond street, when they were grossly insulted by a mob and the crowd set upon the ex-officials and beat them in a brutal manner. Hussey's face was cut in several places, and Baxter's condition is such that he is at present confined to his bed During the melee Hussey drew his revolver to intimidate the attacking party, but as there was no load in either of the barrels was of no use to him. Baxter, we understand, when in condition will also be taken before Devitt and will undoubtedly be required to enter bail for the same offense with which Hussey is charged. Ex-Policeman Humes states that the constable, in serving the warrant on Hussey, entered his (Humes') house and threatened his wife. It is about time that this thing was stopped.
