824 returned to St. (ales's, and meeting with the Whitechapel men, • desperate tight took place in Short's-gardens, there being about two hundred Ihshtuen engaged in it. One man was carried away for dead; and the neighbours were so much alarmed for the coo sequences, that several set oil to the Public Office, Bow-street, where 'they fortunately met with Anthony, who accom panied them with all possible' speed, and saw them in the act of fighting, with large sticks, and rioting in Short's gardens. It was impossible for him to attempt to quell such a desperate assembly ; he therefore went and informed Mr. Reed, who was at. Lincoln's Inn Chapel ; he . came out, and went with Anthony, Mayhew, and one of the patrole, to the spot, but was informed that a number of them, particularly the ring leaders, had retired to the Black Dog and Still, public-house, in Short's-gardens; they accordingly went there, knocked for about a quarter of an hour before they could gain admittance ; on their entrance they went up stairs to a large room on the first floor, the door of which was fast ; Mr. Reed told them it was a Magistrate, and he demanded entrance ; a voice answered, yon shall repent coming here, if you enter; those in the room continuing to refuse to open the door, it was at length forced open by the Magistrate and the landlord. A number of Irish men and women were found in the room ; several escaped out of the windows, top of the house, &r. Anthony proceeded to search for their sticks, or Shelalaghs ; he found several on the ground, and two put up the chimney. Mr. Reed ordered all the women to leave the room; they were going out accordingly, but two of the men, Timothy Murray and Daniel Croney, claim ed two of them as their wives, and told the Magistrate they should not g o out, when Mr. Read seized them by the collar, and gave thm into the custody of Anthony. After that six others were secured, and conveyed to the watch-house, by a party of the patrole, who came to the assistance of Anthony. UNION-DA FRIDAY.
