" You are using that young woman very ill ;"
thinks the officer maid poinething on this, but dues
not know what, and idopt Liwson on the face,
who fell. Having got from the officer, she stood
near the two young women, and oue of them
called the watch. The officers ran down street,
marl witness went up. She left Lawson standing
bleeding in his face. He said, s' Never mind, I stn
not much worse," and that they need not call the
watch; but the watch. had bees called. Witness
overtook. bar sister and. •hliss Nelson, and they went
tcgether is Percy-court, and delivered in the dress.
They retained dome lily 'Hugh Friar-street, and
then we'd to their respective homes. The officer
appeared to he in liquor ; he did not use any im-
proper language; and was not otherwise rude to
her than taktiog her by the hands. Lieutenant
Kington had nut spoken to her before that she
knows of.
William Smith, watchman, stated, that his sta-
tion was in Northumberland-street. Ou the night
of Saturday, the 18th, *boot half-past ten o'clock,
he saw two office: s standing between Lisle-street
and Saville-row; they appeared to be in liquor.—
They wrielested two or three different women
who were passing up street. Witness saw them go
up Northumberland-street; they then returned,
and soon after the watch was called. He rail
down to the place from which he heard the
cry of watch both from male and female voices.—
There he found Roger L'swson standing bleeding at
the nose or mouth, nt:d in consequeoce of what he
said to him, witness went down street after the offi-
cers, and came up with them between New Bridge-
street and the High-bridge.—Witness said to them,
" Gentleinem you must go to the watch-house with
me, if you please." They asked what for, and he
told them for ill-using the woman and knocking
down the lad. He did not see the officer ill-use the
girl, awl only knew from what Lawson told him.

out, s• What have we done ?" He cannot speak
to any expressions made use of by the mob.
George Weddell confirmed the evidence of former
witnesses. that the officers refused to go to the
watch-house. They said, if they had arms, they
would kill .every watchman in the town ; and
wished- they had a troop of their own horse to
clear the streets. By this time a number of people
had collected; the officer. consented to go quietly
to the watch-house, the crowd following. Ou the
way to and after they reached the watch-house,
the officers threatened the watchmen. said they
knew them and would mark them : they also
struck witness. The mob crushed against the
watch-house door. and broke one of the panels.

witness whets the party of the 40th orrisiiii, and said,
" You b—r, Eve got my friends hefasirow." and.
he wished he had his own troop there. Wilier did'
not hear him give the word of command to the sot-
diets, and cannot tell whether he was not in liquor.
Witness had his lantern and great cost like a
watchman.
W. Foster stated, that he is commercial traveller
to Mr:Pearson; that on the night of the disturb-
ance, he was walking up Pilgrim-street shout half-
past ten o'clock, and saw the two officers in ques.
Lion going down. He heard some girls call as if
they wonted the assistance of the watch; the cry
was, that is he." Witness crossed over to the
opposite side where they were, and walked near
the officers for 60 or 100 pods, when some watch-
nseu seized them "as if they were house-breakers;"
they could not have laid hold of them in a more
Siolent manner. Witness saw one of the watchmen
strike Lieut. Kington. whose hat was knocked off.
They said they would go to the watch-house if they
would let them go like gentlemen, and they did
so. The mob abused them very much, by shout-
itog, hissing, throwing mud, &c. After they went
up to Dodswortles, and the piquet of the 40th at.
rived, the officers came out of the house. Witness
did not hear Lieut. Walker or Kiugton order the
soldiers to charge upon the people, nor say, " sol.
diers, do your duty," nor make use of the dia.

Mr. George Dndaworth corroborated the testi.

Walker reprimanding the soldier for striking with
his musket and bayonet, &c.
Mr. Thomas Richardson, mosic-master, depos-
ed. that the officers had been very ill-treated by'
mob. They threw mud, and made use of
abusive language. Tisey said, as the slicers

thinks he must have heard if he did, as he was very
near him. Lieutenant Walker reprimanded the
soldier for using his musket and bayonet without

James Rogers, serjeant of the piquet from
40th, maimed the testimony of the last witness.
T. Auston, the soldier who used his musket
