..

Cooper aid—About 1 this morning I was proceeding
along Oxford street, when I was informed that there was
a mob in Great Cumberland-street smashing the windows.
I saw the prisoner stoop down, pick up stones, and throw
them at the windows of No. 4. I caught hold of him,
and found some stones in his hand. I called a brother
constable when the prisoner said to him, " Come along
you —, I'll give you one." He then threw a stone at
the other officer, which struck him on the head. The
prisoner then became very violent, and we were followed
by a mob of more than 100 who were stoning us,
Rnmbelow, 102 Y, deposed—l was called to anoint last
witness, who was surrounded by a mob of between 200 and
300. They were smashing all the windows in the street•
I saw the prisoner aim ►t No. 4, and every window in
this house was broken. I went to ambit my brother officer,
when prisoner threw a stone and struck me behind my ear-
All sorts of missiles were being thrown at us.
Prisoner, in reply, to the charge, said—l had been to
the Marylebone Theatre, and going along home I was
thrown down. I went to walk back, when I waa taken to
the station-house.

Mr. Mansfield—l am determined to put a stop to this
rnffianly conduct on the part of a lot of vagabonds.
It is abominable that people should have their pro-
perty destroyed in this scandalous manner. Other
young ruffians like you must be deterred from
acting in this way. Yon must pay for the first offence of
throwing stones 405., or one month's imprisonment, with
hard labour ; then one month's hard labour for the assault
upon Cooper, and another month for the assault upon
Rumbelow ; in all three months' hard labour.
Thomas Denning, aged 17, sa, Munster-street, Regent's-
park, stableman, was nett charged.
William Spntt, 213 D—About 1 this morning I was in
Great Cumberland-street, near the Marble-arch, and saw
errand hundred persons breaking windows. Some consta-
bles; had got a prisoner, and as I went to drive the mob
back I saw the prisoner pick up a stone and break a win-
dow. I went to take him, when he ran off and was cap-
tared by a gentleman.

Mr. Mansfield—Did he go quietly?
Spratt—Yee, sir. When I took him he said he wee sorry
for what he had done.
Prisoner—l am sorry for what occurred.
Spratt—He took up two stones which he threw at the
police. There was a great mob.

Aaron Bellingham, 24 D—l had a stone strike my bead
behind my ear and cut it. I received several blows from
stones on my arm and one blow from a brick.
Mr. Mansfield—You are charged with two offences.

Prisoner—l was returning from Baker-street when I
was met by a crowd coming round the corner. They threw
me over, and I got up and ran away.
Mr. Mansfield—You clearly have committed two
offences. For stone-throwing you must pay a fine of 405.,
or go to prison for one month. After that you must go to
prison for another month for the assault

Edward Menton, aged 19, of 19s, Adam-street, West
Marylebone, clerk, was next charged.
Maybank, 270 8, whose head was bandaged up, said—l
was in Great Cumberland-street this morning, and saw a
wadable with a prisoner in custody. This prisoner took
bold of him, and said the officer should not take him, sad
tried to pull him away. I went up, and he said to me
"You —, take that," and struck me a severe blow on the
top of my head with a stick. The blow has cut my head
badly. Several other officers came up and got their heads
cut at the same time.

Remy Addison, 34 D—l saw him strike last witness,
and when I went up to him he struck me on my head Y

. .
well, saying, " You —, take that, I'll see whether you'll
take me."

Prisoner—lt's false.

Mr. Mansfield—l believe it to be true, and sentence you
to two month.' bard labour, you are a ruffian.
Prisoner, who was exceedingly well dressed, seemed
astonished.
