THE MILITARY RIOT IN LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL. JULY 2.
The 27 soldiers who were yesterday placed at the
bar before the magistrates ou a charge of not and attack
upon the police, were again brought up this afternoon, and
the evidence against them continued.
Mr. Robert Weston, upholsterer, said he was passing up
Shaw's-brow at a quarter past nine, when he saw a soldier
coming down, walking as peaceably and quietly as himself.
lie had not passed him many yards when he saw a police
officer walk after him and seize him by the collar, and shake
him in a very rough manner. The soldier asked him what
he wanted with him, and tried to get away. In the scuffle
the constable's hat fell off, and he used his stick in a very
violent manner about the head and shoulders of the soldier,
before the latter struck or attempted a blow. The soldier
certainly was not the aggressor, and witness went off
towards the barracks, with a view of stating what he had
seen to the officer on duty, when he met the picket.
After the examination of a great number of additional
witnesses on both sides, Mr. Commissioner Dowling ad-
dressed the bench, and said he had a number more wit-
nesses present, but as all the prisoners had been identified
es having taken part in the riot, he wished for a further
remand, in order to complete the evidence against them.
The magistrates (Messrs. Crossfleld, Harvey, Turner,
Hodgson, and Horsfall, who had constituted a special court
for this inquiry), intimated that there were objections to
this course.

Major Gordon said he would be responsible for the ap-
pearance of the whole of them. He was aware that there
were amongst them great blackguards, but he felt assured
that when they were put upon their honour as soldiers,
they would Ivey their bail. His object was not that the
men should he at large, but when coming out of those
dreadful cells, they were in a state derogatory to the pro-
fession of arms. lie hoped, however, the men would not
think that he was there as their advocate, as he con-
sidered that they had disgraced themselves, the regiment
they belonged to, and her Majesty's uniform—that, instead
of showing the unblushing front they did, they ought to
hang their heads in shame. On the other hand, he was
obliged to say that the soldiers had, for a long time, re-
ceived great provocation and insult from the police ; there
was a sergeant in court who had been must brutally treated
by the policemen.
Mr. Crosathwaite intimated that upon Major Gordon
undertaking to produce the men, and sending day by day
a certificate that the soldier in the hospital was not fit to
attend, the prisoners would be admitted to bail; the great
desire of the bench was to have the case fully and fairly in-
vestigated, so that it might not be said the magistrates had
acted with partiality towards the officers of the police force.
It was then agreed that the caw should be adjourned till
Friday next.
I As soon as this case was concluded, the Rev. Mr. Connor
—epos soli,* whom the soldiers had desisted in a great de-
ices fen their VidiMPl on Moaday night—rose and said,
psidn/dwg to ens et tts• peklemse—l wish to charge this
peewee& with ceeet4Ledriot en Monday last.
Ths maginrstes that application must be made
in this usual way at cane for a summons against the
party charged.
Mr. Commissioner Dowling said there was no occasion for
a warrant, the man should be f whenever wanted.
Considerable asperity of feeling was re arising, which
was, however, checked by the beach.
Adjutant-General Barnard has just arrived (4.30 p.m.)
in Liverpool, by desire of the Horse Guards, to assist in tho
inquiry, and has had an interview with the mayor.
