Join Southerwood and JOAU COsttablt, two privates in the ed regiment of Foot Guards, together with Cape George Siesta of the same regiment, and Samuel RvitiRSVII, a shoemaker, were inclided for a violent itiot and Assault, committed on tire Bth init. The two latter Defendants not appearing in Court, the two former only were arraigned and put upon their trial. Mr. Cone, for the Prosecution, shortly stated the case, which was fully detailed in the evidence. Mrs. Bolton deposed. that her husband was a pork-butcher, residing in Silver-street, Golden square. In the early part of the day mentioned in the iudieinsent, the prisoner Constable came into her shop, to purchaw the side of a ready-dressed pig's face, for which he paid eid. and Went away, ap parently satisfied with his htergAin ; some time after, he returned, with the prisoner Southerwood, and another man, and brought back the bones of the pig's cheek, completely picked, threw them into the scales, making a great noise, an d swear i ng h e wou ld have his money back. The Witness remonstrated a little, but finding it of no :strait; said; she would send for a constable; and he replie.i, with an oath, he Would stab any constable who should come near him; he then made so much noise, she became alarmed, and Sent for one Moody, a constable, in Carnaby-street ; Moody endeavoured to pa:ify them, but to no purpose ; the riot assd noise increased to an alarming degree, and hundreds of persons were assembled about the door. Some of the Officers from Marlborough -street, came in, and, with great difficulty, turned them out of the shop ; what hap pened afterwards, she could not say. Mr. Moody, the constable, being sworn, was pro ceeding to give his evidence, when Captain Bruhl came into Court, and advanced to the Bench, ap propriated to the use of the :vtegistrAte. Finns this place he was arraigned. and pleaded—Nest Godly. He ia:d, he was not, at that moment, prepared to take his trial, iris witnesses not being in Court ; and then he called their wows aloud, from a slip of paper which he held in his hind. Samuel Robinson, the other Defendant, then made his appearance, and being put to the Bar, was also arraigned, and pleaded—Ne Guiity, but wished likewise, to put off his trial, till the next Sessions, on the same grounds as the Captain. This application was granted. Captain Bruhl addressed himself to some of the Magistrates enfividuelly; but the CMA II NI 1s: imme diately imeriered, observing, deit lie cuuiJ not per mit any conversation with the Magistrates on the Bench. The Captain, and Robinson, then retired. The examination of Moody, being resumed, he De posed, that when he arrived at Mrs. Bolton's shop, he found a great mob about it, crying " short w , ig!et. stinking meat, &c." The Prisoner, Constable, &- mended to see his staff, which he pulled out of his pocket insmediate 7 y ; hut the other ohjeetect to it, saying, it was me a proper one ; and that he vaulted justice; the witness answered, that the mariner he was riding in was not the way to obtain it ;,;;and, if they were soldiers, they should keep the King's peace, Ala 1 not break it ; he then desired them to go away quietly, but they rallied, and abused him much. Sli nay after. he was pone.] by Gregory. ow of the Merlhoroughestreet officers, whose staff the soldiers also demanded, and made the sam.' ob jedion to, whic:i they bed done to witness's. Gre gory cond ded himself with extreme mileness and temper; he clapped them on the back. called there fine brave fellows, and endeavoured, by every flit means, to get them our. By this time the mob had inc , ‘`AS. I to an Alarming number. Witness became apprehensive of a very rerious riot, aitd, wishing to prevent it, took six-pence out of his own pocket, and laid it on the counter fortheas. With this Sautherwond appeared satisfied, and proceeded to strap his coat, and put on his can, in order to go Away; but Consta ble swore he wand not go, and must have justice. 1 he third s,lJier (who has not since been found, and w is :tot indicted) e ideavoured to make his escape, Our Constable prevented him. They were then joined by two other officers from Merlborough street, who also were obliged to produce their staves. The soldiers still perAisted in refusing to go away, and the officers at list pushed them into the street. Here the mob appeared rather to aid and encourage the soldiers, than assist the officers, and continued to cry out, " There's the shop sells short weight, and bad meat." And as the witness was endeavouring to secure Constable, he received a kick in his shins, which continued sore to the present time. The soldiers closing on him, he seized a stick out of Gre gory's hand, and defended himself as well as he could ; but he was soon separated by the mob from Grego., and, at that moment, the stick was wrested from him, as he was since told, by Captain Bruhl, who exhibited it, as a trophy of victory, in the Ma gistrate's Office that night. The witness then escaped to his own house, and saw no more. The business began about two o'clock in the afternoon, was re peated at four, and the mob and noise coutinued till near twelve at night. lie never saw a greater riot; his neighbour's windows were broken to pieces by the fists of Constable, who also flung empty bot tles at them. lie did strike Constable in the head with the stick, but he was all cut and bloody from the broken glass. Southerwood wes not so violent, and die third soldier made his escape early in the affray. Captain Bruhl, with Robinson, again appeared, at this moment, in Court, and said, his Witnesses were arrived, and he was then ready to take his trial. CH411541 AN—II If the Gentlemen wish now to he tried, we must do it ? but i would admonish them to consult some professional Gentleman first, who may be more competent to give them advice upon the subjel than themselves." Captain Bruhl--" It is a very simple cue; it is short, and nothing in it. My Witnesses are here, and I .on ready to proceed." CHSI4 NI A 11—" I would not wish you should come into it to ) hastily." The Captain and Robinson were then put before the Bar, and the CH I 451 AN read the evidence over, which has already been detailed. The Court had proceeded some length in the ex amination of Joseph Gregory, when, after a short conitthAtion between Captain Bruhl and Counsellor ANT, Attt•; ihe latter Gentleman applied to the Court t* postpone the trial of the two Defendants, Captain Bruhl and Mr. Robinson, until the next Sessions, which was accordingly granted. Joseph Gregory then proceeded to state the cir cumstances welly as Moody had represented them, urn it they were separated in the street. The Prisoner Constable then three.- if his coat, and began to fight. witness e•:trrated him to desist, but to no purpose ; the mob continuing to cry out, " let him alone ; let him alone; d—n the rascal for selling stinking meat." Constable struck him, and cut his mouth, which bled profusely ; he closed with him, and the scuffle continued till he got to the corner of Carriahy-street, there he had three r.n him at once ; he took out his staff, but seas obliged to fly for his lite, and took refuge in Mr. Fowler's bottle-shop ; with great difficulty he got the door shut ; they then began to break in the windows, a.nd throw the empty bottles about, and lie made his escape over the wall, through two other houses, and came round to assist the other ci.n .tables, who by that lime had come up. On his cross-examination, by Mr. .611.1. a v, he said he did not see Moody strike the soldiers. Thomas Edwards, another constable, gave simi lar testimony. He said the mnb were laughing, and noisy ; Constable kicked about ; and he saw Moody strike him with a stick over the head; he bled much, but was not held at that time by three constables. Before Captain Bruhl interfered, :hey were making a very great resistance; h► thought it was likely to be a very serious riot, at.d he ►et off as fast as he could to Marlborough-street. Here the CM Allt4AN observed, that as Captain Bruhl was not then on his trial, every thing relating to him should be avoided. John Warren, another Police Officer, stated, that he was knocked down by Souilserweed, the inorne , a he came rip; his kg was very much hurt, and be was still under the hands of a Jurgen.). Kennedy, Lovett, Siduey, and some others, fur ther corroborated the testimony given by the firmer Witnesses. Mr. Fowler, of Carnaby-street, whose windows and bottles were broken, stated, that he saw Capt. Bruhl take the stick from Moody. He knew Bol ton, the pork-butcher, who had lived in that neigh bnisrhood for many years, and always was a man of respeetability, and of an upright and fair cha rafter. Samuel Hamilton, one of the senior Police Of ficers of Marlborough-street, stated, that when he and John Foy (another Officer) arrived at the place, they found all the inhabitants of Carnaby-street, and the adjoining neighbourhood, in the utmost terror and consternation, shutting up their shops ; he also found his brother officers very much oppres. wed by the mob. He and Foy were armed with cutlasses, which they drew, aini intimidated the crowd. They *ate obliged to take Southerwood by the legs and arms before they could secure him; he was very mischievous They were obliged to exert the most determined conduet, in order to quell the rioters ; and he w is, for some tine-, very apprehen sive they would he obliged to call uut another kind of force. In the sequel. the two Ptimneis at the ber were secured, and brought before the Magis trates, w'io committed thern. . Mr. ALLEY, in his defence for the Prisoners. observed, that most of the persons who were ex amined on the part of the Ciown. were Police 01- fleets. and might naturally he expelled to be of the UMW story. He wotdd rather some of the inhabit ants had been produced, who russet hare seen the whole transaetion. The season that Ceptai❑ Bruhl was made a party defendert in the indietment, he contended, was for the purpose of doing away the beneet of that Gentleman's testimony on behalf of the Prisoners. He insisted, that the soldiers were not t h e original aggressors, but that the breach of the peace wee first committed by the Police Officers. Then addressing himself to the Court, in an argu ment of some length, be attlenetted, that Captain Bruhl, though a party in the indictment, was a com petent witness to be examined for the other Defend ants. In support of this, he cited the case of Mr. Home Tooke. Mr. CoNse shortly replied, and the Court were of opinion, that Capt. Bruhl could not be examined. Some witnesses were then examined for the Pri soners, but their evidence only corroborated thee of the witnesses for the prosecution. Mr. Comr made a long and able speech to evi dence; in the course of which he stated, that the prosecution was carried on by the parish, in which the riot took place. The C 14•111 AS ' in summing up the evidence, stated to the Jury. that the speech ache Counsel for the Prisoners only went in mitigation of the sentence, which the Court alone was competent to consider. Their duty was to try the fad, whether the Pri soners at the Bar were guilty or not' When he looked at the evidence. it appeared one of the most dangerous riots that could occur ; and his great wonder was, that much more mischief had not en sued. The conduct tof those men, in breaking down the house. put them within a hair's breadth of a ca pital offence, for which they might have suffered with their lives. The Jury, without a moment's hesitation, found both Guilty. CHAIRMAN—" It is an unfortunate circumstance to the public, that persons in the station of life of the Prisoners, should place themselves in such a predi cament, at a time when their country required their services ; but it is necessary they should suffer con dign punishment. It is with the greatest regret that the Court is obliged to deprive the publi.: of their services ; we wish that the time of their imprisonment should be as shOrt as prorible, and f am, therefore, directed by the Court to pronounce the sentence of one year's imprisonment upuu each ; hut it, in the mean time, the service requires it, application may be made for their pardon. It is a most heinous offence, and it is happy fur the public it did not go farther than it has done. The sentence of the court up an Rolert Reystfridt, fur the cruel treatment of his children, stated in a 'Ul mer paper, is postponed 'till the next sessions. The business being finished. the Jury were dis charged with the thanks of the Chairman, and the sessions ends.d. The Kisco has been pleased to appoint Lieutenant General Marty Bowl , a to be Otneral and Com mander of His M ell Farces serving in the Windward and Leeward Chardkaa Island Station. 1/1 1 ..MM!!r ~ (7EI.': 4E On Monday last, an alialT of honour was sr:redid at Bootle Common, near Liseroirol, between Carmichael, formerly an Ajui - ant in the R Liverp•ol Fri,iieers. under .he command of Ci •1 William Earle, an•d Mr. Edward Molts. ..fidajnr in the same corps. l'he point of difference ginated in same unmldi.•r•bke condo.% whica rite former gentleman conceived himself to have re ceived from the latter, while serving w•itt' him in to same regiment, hut which certain circumstances pre veined the possibility of bringing to an honourable issue, till the present moment. Captain Carmichael arrived in town from Bakewell, in Derbrshire, at a late hour on Sunday evening, and immediately sent a friend to wait upon Magri B. with in;:riatiiins to lay before him his grounds of compiaint, aid to demand eith•_•r an apology for his corn'usq, or a meeting the next morning.

The distance being measured, it was agreed that the parties should fire, on a signal being. given, at the same instant. Capt. Carmichael fired ; • and his hall nearly grazed his opponent's ;boulder. • !Major Brooks reserved his fire, and discharged his pistol into the air. Captain C was no sooner aware of this. than he insisted upon receiving his r•ppq ment's tire ; which the latter peremptorily refused ; at the sane tim_• stating, that he had no complaint . against his antagonist, who, he was confident, had aged under the influence of wrong information, and false impressions. The seconds interfered ; a calls faelory explanation took place, and the parties sepa rated with expressions of reciprocal regard fur arch mina's chaxarier. POLICE. HAT :"):. Am ilaw, ocT.
