Mr. Adolphus stated, that the defendants, M'Carty and five (Abets, soldiers belonging to the Fout Guards, were tiled last Sessions at the Old Bailey for murder and ac quilled. 'Fiery had slicer been indicted fur the riot on the lath of June at West iii i i 161C1', but those 0110 had prefer red the indictment did not mean to proceed ; lie therefore lead to request the witnesses might he called, and on their hot appeal itig, the prisoners would be discharged. Mr. Ail, y, Counsel for the prosecution. ►tated that lie received uu instructions to support the indictment for the misitenietthour; and utter the defendants had been ar raigned, and pleaded not guilty, they were acquitted, there being no evidence to lay before the Jury. The Chairman, then addressing them, sald—" It is better before you go from the, bar, under the particular nature sod circumstances of your case, that your atten tion should be called to theinipropriely of 'icier conduct. Your behaviour, subsequent to acquittal at the Old would aimust lead one to suppose, that in the 00111. 011/1 , 0011 of )011f 011 . 1 . 11 Ce, you lead the inteution of doing bodily mischief, for since you were acquitted, you have lint only conslde•teel yourselves justified, hut although you a ere tinder bail you have gone and abused the ()likens of justice, one of a lium narrowly escaped with his life.— You all know that yon have• boasted that you glory in what• you have dune, wed that you have said put would 111 e rather than make any concession.

Mr. Count observed, that he knew nothing of the farts; but the subsequent conduct of the defendants looked like a malicious intention. _ . Mr. ittinolds, the magistrate, said, he had occasion to know that the soldiests, in the riot alluded to, were *malty of violence. He was under the sieclissity of befitt ing for the Hasse Guards. Without their assissance the consequences might have been more fatal. Au attack was spittle on the officers, who w hese only doing their duty, ■nd one of the defendants had gone so • public-house and abused the officers in the grossest instinct. '1 he tl. fendasits were then discharged. Jobs Ruby' ift was indicted fur assaulting, on the Oh of June, Peter Masliii. The prosecutor with his wife, were walking along St. James's street, when thin defendant, without any in uvo caliou. snuck him a violent blow.
