A GRAND JUROR FIMID 10/L ABSENCII.

At a late hoar on Friday easing, the Grand Jury having
concluded their labours, came into mart, and were discharged
with the customary thanks.
The foreman complained that one of their number bad
&bigoted himself without giving say proper cause for so
doing. His name was Isms' Alleyne. On the first day of
the session he had made a complaint of being troubled with
indigestion but had not sent any certificate to prove his
inability aattead, obeerriag that he could sot trouble him-
self to do so, and be (the foreman) thought such conduct
should be made an example of.
Another of the jury said, that with regard to indigestion,
all of thi m had suffered to some degree in consequence of
the intolerable heat of the grand jury room.
The foreman further stated that James Alleyne had ob-
served that he would sooner be fined than attend to h 3
labours.

The Recorder said he was gait' willing to oblige the gen-
derma in the wish he had expressed, and should order Mee
to bswelled on his order to attend. _ _

__ TIIII RIOT AT 011.21111W1C11 FAIL _ _

Upon Yr. Pgne making rnapplicstionthsiThe case of tFe
18 soldiers committed for not ex Greenwich fair might stand
over until next session.

The Recorder asked whether the ends of justice would not
be answered by binding them over in tbeirown retool esntge
to keep the peace.
Mr. Payne said he thought not, as acts of considerable vio-
lence kid been committed, and much damage done to the
property ef Mr. Malan Lee.
The &Larder wished to know if this bed rot taken place
inconsequence of the clown having surreptitiously obtained
pommies of one of the soldier's hate and exhibited his own
tam under it.

Mr. Payne said such was not the ease, the clown seas
not there, it arose from one of the soldiers kno.king the
hat over the eyes of a civilian.
After some discussion it was agreed that the soldi,ra
should plead, end that the court would hear some evidence
before it came to any deci•ion.

cell, 29, marines; and Henry Taylor, 18, Matthew Covrdy,
26, Wallans Lemon, 22, James O'Brien, 20, Samuel Robin
son, 2S, 11' aliens Jamieson, 21. Era's Evans, 19, John IVaft,
24, Thomas Hart, 28, James Purcell, 29, John Martin. 21,
KimvirrlyWilkinson, 22, Edwin Grqpns, 21, Wiliam
Wedd, 20, Henry Timmihy, 21, were j•iatly indicted for a
riot and assault. The prisoners pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Barry and Mr. Parry said they appeared fur several
of the defendants.

The record, r said that be had looked over the depositbes,
and did not see that any one was seriously injured, and
wanted to know how many police, show men, and show
tumbler', bad taken part i the affair.
Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Parry said that in point of fact the
soldiers were the only pottier injured, and were taken by the
police in consequence of the injuries they eshibizel at the
tame, which was sougut to be made evidence of their having
taken part in the riot.
Mr: Payne said that wts not a fact.
Mr. Ballantioe said he had been given to understand that
the elowo bad made some allusion to the rAdiers that was
offensive to them an ► body, and that he had spat upon the
hat of one of them.

Mr. Pam said it was just the trick a clown would do.
Mr. Payne said that when the riot cemseneed the clown
was attending to his duties, acting in the inside of the booth.
Mr. Ilillantine—My I d friends making a statement
quite in error and exhibits an entire ignorance in them
matter., as it is well known that at booths all the acting is
on the outside. (Laughter.)
Mr. Payne said that he bowed with submission to Mr.
Ballantine's remarks, as he felt that he had a knowledge of
inch matters far exceeding him. (Roars of laughter.)
The Recorder—Clowns generally say what there is set
down fur them. Ido not see that any tenon injured or that
the police commissioners have thought fit to take any.portion
in this prosecution.
Mr. Paine said that Mr. Lee had been made the prow-
enter, but that he had not the least vindictiverese in the
wetter. Besides Wag proprietor of the show he was
manager of one of our London theatres.
Remader—And would sooner rite all the defendants in
his theatre than where they are. (Laughter.) Is it fleets-
' nary that any evidence should be offered ?
Mr. Payne—lt is impossible that the ease can finish
I Ilk* this.

The Recorder, having learned that they had been in prison
for ten day., said he thought that was enough, and as much
as they would get if conv.cted. Not that he considered the
gentleman to whom the show belonged was at all to blame.
Several other witnesses haring do puked to individual ac's
of violence on the part of the soldiers, and identified L.wson,
Rippoo, Evans, O'Brien, and Jamie. os, as having thoiroitted
actual assaults, and added that for the three days the soldier..
had gone in a body through the fair, assaulting everybody.
A verdict of Guilty was taken against the five id.ntitied,
and an acquittal on the part of the others.
' The 11:corda, in addrethiog them, said they had made
some at•.nement by pleading guilty; and he was ready
to suppose they had not any original purpose in view when
t►ey commenced the riot, which might be viewed more as
an act of indiscretion than otherwise ; but going out as they
did, in a body, their presence was enough to create terror, and
they must learn to put more restraint on their feelings. He
was glad to find tout their conduct in gaol had been good.
Mr. Lee had been a sufferer by the quarrel; and he did hop.
that alter the spirit of forbearance he had evinced through.
oat the whole of tho prosecution that he would not be per-
mitted to be the loser is the affair. He should bind each of
the defendants over to keep the peace for 12 months. and he
hoped that for the future this would MPS as a lemon for
them to act with more temperance and discretion.
The recoguiaanees were then entered into and they were
discha►ged.
