RIOT AT BIDEFORD. .EXETEI2) AUG. 10.---Th omas Trace, Thomas Croscombe, Myrick, James Siapledort, and George Veal, were indicted for a misdemea nour, in havin, with a great number of other persons, committed a riot and breach of the public peace at Bideford, on the lith of May last. Mr. Wieeiktes stated the case on the part of the prosecution. It appeared, that on the . day laid in the indictment about 150 persons riotously and tumultuously assembled at Bideford, armed with bludgeons and other weapons, and by their Violent proceedings endangered the lives of many of the inhabitants. The tsimult was occasioned by a rumour, that a person 'cif the name of Watts had purchased a great quantity of potatoes of the neighbouring farmers, and intended to ship them to London. This circumstance produced consi derable irritation in the minds of the. lower or ders, who committed several acts of violence, when four women were taken into custody and lodged in prison. The rioters then becante,more bold and daring; they procured large pieces of timber, with which they b meted down the prison door, released the women, and beat off" the police of the borough ; and it was nut till the military hail been called in, anti some of the ringleaders ; secured, that the peace of the town was itst o r ed . A MOr.a ularming disturbance had not existed in any part of the country, and it was extremely for t tunate for the prisoners that greater excesses tad not been commitred. The most respectable evie deuce would be called, to prove that each of them had been very actively engaged in the.riot ; aid I if the Jury should find them guilty, the Learued I titeitieman trusted that the punishment whiCh twist necessarily follow would be a warning to the rest of the community...not:to suffer them selves to be deluded into such violent and lawless proceedings. Samuel White, a watchmaker at Bideford, proved these riotous proceedings. IViteese heard the riot act ordered to be, read, when the mob immediately proceeded to strike against the door of the prison. But just before that there bad been a fight between them and the constables, and the mob retired about 31) yards,' when they returned with a quantity of large stones, some o f te e m eighieg several pounds, which they threw at the constables and magistrates, who le ! treated to the bridgeAtall. The distance between the bridge-hall end the prison was .front 20 to 30 feet, and witness mild see what was Passing in the st rcet ; he observed the prison door beat clown by 2k) or 3t) men with large pieces of timber. The women had been pat biro an inner prison, the door of which was thrown into the street, and the prisoners were ! carried over the bridge in triumph, on the shoeld ers of the mob: Witiless saw Croscpmbe among the stash : 'he bad hold of a piece of timber, and assist , ed in beating down the prison door. Trace was among them, and very active in assisting with the logs. Meyrick also was there, but he was not active till after the prison door was beaten down about two hours after'the street; were paraded by the mob, ned'he,was then among them. ‘Vitness saw Steptedon during the fight between the con-' s t u hles and the mob : he had a club in his band,. I ate( engaged in the fight ; but witness did' not see hint when the prison-doors were broken down. Veal was present, but not active. Witness tielli'Y'Clianter, the town crier and constable, acid saw him bleeding very much in the head (hiring the fight ; some of the constables essisted him,' or his life might have been endtrogmed. About seven . or eight o'clock the yeomanry, came in, and con- tinned to pirade the streets during the night. On 54.iturday oight.the lnuiskiglen dragooee arrived, ti~'it'll the others were discharged. Witness, COti,tabiC, assiSteti the military io taking.the pri- Meyrick. Osi Saturday witness went to Cleeves-housei, where the sitipwrights hued, in order to secure the riegleadevs, but did not succeed in taking them : they got aolnard a brig, nod had not been yet taken. They appeared on board with axes in their bands, nail brandished defiance. Mr. W. C. Edwtsrili, Mr. J.. Clifton, a special constable, Mr. It. King and Mr. M. Vine:like wise special eonstableg, and Mr... Sloly, It Lien tenant in the Royal Navy, compictetl the proof of the case on tile part of the proieention. Da r . A. MooRE - spoke in extenuation of the of fence. Several witnesses, then deposed to the charae tcrs of the prisoners and it appeared that, until the period at this transaction, they had been peaceable, sober, and honest men. • Mr. Justice. Iloettovn told the JuryMit this was an indictment against the five prisoners at the bar for a misdemeanour, in having engaged in a riot, with a great nnmiter of ether persons, on the 17th of May last, at Bideford, in the. county of Devtin. They had heard. the riotous ucts com mitted by the mob on both sides of the river.-- The rioters were armed with cudgels ; and after they were so artned, they proceeded to attack the Constables and Magistrates. They then procured large-battering rams, and, in direct defiance of the law, broke, open the doors if the prisons and released four women who had been apprehended for rioting. This was certainly a very violent proceeding and riot, and all who aided atid assist ed in it were answerable for the consequences. It was unnecessary, he hopetl,.at that late hour, to read over all the evidence respecting the riot, us the witnesses had given the saute account of it;. he would, therefore, go to such part as related to the different prisoners, that they might see which of them had been most actively engaged. The puttishment of each would be according to the different parts that were taken in the transaction. The Learned Judge then recapitulated the evi (fence us to the conduct of the prisoners', and ob served, that Trace had taken a very active part ; Croscombe,Meyrick, and tapletton -bad n u been active ; but Veal was the least active of any.—• With respect tachartieter, it would not weigh if the facts were clearly made nut; and however it Might be lemented that persons of honest and in dustrious habits should be led to Commit such outrages, yet, if they were Satisfied with the evi (knee, they must find the prisoners guilty ; if they had any donbt, then they would not (4il to give them every -advantage to which former good character was entitled., The .Tory deliberated, for a few minutes, and then returned a verdict of Guilty against ail the prisoners, but recommended the whole of them, and particularly Neal, to me rcy. His Lordshippassed the following sentence Trace to be imprisoned 'two years ; Croscombe, 18 mouths ;'llleyriek and Stapledon, 12 months; Veal, .six months. • It was nearly eleven o'clock at night before the Learned Judie passed sentence on the several prisoners. '1 he calendar contained the . names of 52 persons, of whom 13 were acquitted, and against two no hills wereiohnd. In addition to the cases we have reported, John Crate, for a burglary ; John GraSlol2, for escaping front transportation ; and Daniel Ford and Thomas Murray, for house-breaking, were sentenced to Death, but reprieved. POLICE INTELLIGE,NCE. DOW-STLIEET. Some important investigations took place rela tive to travellers. A Gentleman attended and stated, that he had within these few days arrived •in London by a stage-coach : during the journey the coachman who drove them into London be haved extremely ill, and detained them unneces sarily an hour on the road ; and when they got out at Islington, he and all the other passengers, in consequence of his miseondect, agreed not to give hint any thing. lie then tletained their lug gage ; but this was considered charging more than the fare under the Act of :Parliament. Edward Titchener,, the late keeper of the Ham mer,with turnpike gate, was brought to the Office by warrant, charged with assanhingeept. Nicholas ,Brown and Arnott,•Esq. on Sunday sennight. It appeared from the statement of Captain)3runu and Mr. Arnott, th'at they went out to take r a ride in a single-horse chaise, passed through Kensing ton gate, where they paid the toll, and received a ticket, No. 41 ; when they came to the gate at Hammersmith, kept by the defendant, Titchener, they called, out N 0.41, and also exhibited the ticket ;* the defendant in reply said; that would not do for him, and seized the bridle of the horse, who became very restive in consequence. They then said, if the ticket would not pass. that gate they would return, as they had tnerely.come out for a ride ; but that did not satisfy the defendant, the chaise having passed the gate, and he.seized an umbrella, ii ml forcibly took it from Capt. Brown. The defendant admitted the charge in sub stance ; but the Magistrate regretted, that as no personal violence had been used, he could not in-; terfere,•as the taking 'of the timbrella was not an j and alt oug h the Gentlemen had tendered hd.,for the toll after they had returned from the Trustee, and which they left on the ground. On a careful examination of the Act of Parliament, there did not appear hut one clause to regdlate a gate-keeper, and. that was in case be took too much toll.

She stated, that lastiSatarday week, about nine o'clock in the evening,. her Mo ther (who. is bum); sent her to Mr. Willey's, shoe maker, eorner of Southarepton-street, Strand, ro receive her mother's wages for the thertlast week, amounting to twelve shillings and sixpence. That she accordingly received it in siliter, viz, nine- shit hugs, two eighteen-Penny pieces, and a six pence ; anti om 'her return borne, she dropped tome of it in Thaeltham's-court, anti after picking it up and counting it, she thought she had lost a shilling, and 'was' crying. Peisoner came up to her and bid her not cry, for be bad shilling, and if she had lost , one he would g ive it to .-her. He therefore desired her to go intothe narrow part of dreamt and count beta money, which she ronsented to, and,was going to count it into her apron,. but he advised her not to di! that, lest any one coming by might snatch it. lie told her to count it into his band, anti she did so ; anti beginning with the two eighteen penny pieces said, that makes -three, and as soon as she had counted two shillings more into his hand, which she said was five, he closed' his band and rim off as fast as he could. Tire father of the boy intortned the Magistrate, that the boy's master would soon attend, and prove, by himself and his than also, that the prisoner was in the master's-house at the time of the al leged robbery, and at a very great distance from the spot. The parties were therefore ordered to withdraw, and the examination was postponka for some time. When the person sent to the master returned, he brought word, 'that the 114a5.• ter was in the very midst. of his bread, and could not then leave it, but if the business could be postponed till the 'afternoon, he would attend and prove, that prisoner %vas, at the time mentioned by the witnesses, in his (the master's) house,,ac counting With him for the bread he had delivered that day. The prisoner was therefore remanded till Saturday, when he may prove the alibi, it-he can. _ Wm.
