--TER' COl:KT.—Before the Common Serie:oat.
THE cRARrisT RIOTERS.
The trial of the prisoners charg d with riot and assault
was runes, d this mrning, one iodictment only having been
disposed of on Saturday.
Jeremiah Connolly was indicted for having riotously as-
sembled with °tines in Bishop Bonner's-fields, on the 4th of
June, and three assaulting a police constable in the
execution of his duty. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Ryland
were coursed for the p,osecution. The evidence was
similar to that given in the case tried on Saturday. The
prisoner was one of the most active of the mob, and was
sworn to have kicked an officer in the groin.—Mr. Harry
addressed the jury for the prisoner, contending that the
case was not satisfactorily proved.—The jury fourd
prisoner Guilty, and he was removed from the dock, sen-
tence being reviled.
Isaac Alallandins, 26, a weaver, was similarly indicted,
for assaulting and threatening to stab a police constable
named Harrington. It anreared that on the 4th there wee
an aremblage of persios in Nova Scotia-garden',
near Bishop Bonaer's-lields, which a body of police
received orders to disperse. The prisoner was present,
and, refusing to obey the order of the police to leave
the spot, force was used to compel him. The evidence
of the police was, that the prisoner then drew a clop knit
from his pocket, end threatened to stab Harrington, the pro-
secutor.—Mr. Payne, for the defence, urged that his client
was no chartist, and he had never joined or participated in
any way in any chartist demonstrations. On the occasion in
question he had just left his home, and was proceeding to get
shaved, when he was ordered by the police to go home. Re-
fusing to do that, he was attacked by the officer in a
brutal manner, and was so beaten that he was carried
bleeding to the limpital The learned counsel contended
that the police bad no right to order a quiet and unotfending
man to go home, and it he had resisted such a stretch of
authority he was entitled to do so.—A witness named Mills
was then called, and he swore that the poli^e attacked the
prisoner u he was standing quietly on the pavement.—
Edward Ree gave similar evidence, and said the prisoner
was a sober, industrious, peaceable man.—Ms. Bstikitt
replied, and the Common Strjeant having summed up, the
•7 found the prisoner Guilty.—Sentence was respited.

IRELAND.
Denim. Jean 17.
Mr. Holmes, in consequence of the continued re-
fusal of the benchers of Queen's Inn to admit Dr.
Gray and Mr. Dunne to the bar, Las resigned
his hewhership. The Weekly Register, of the above
date, states that the city constabulary are to be
armed with
.pikes, owing to some of the clubs having
, been active inprocuring similar weapons.
