rescuing a prisoner from the hands of the Civi
Power. The circumstances which produced t..is
committal are as follows :
. On Saturday night, between nine and ten o'clock,
the inhabita its of Lower-street, in that town, were
alarmed by a most violent riot, and the cries of
murder! from a public house called the Royal
George, situated in a back part of the street, and
nearly adjoining the residence of the Chief Magis-
trate. lnformaiion of this proceeding was imme-
diately giveneo Edward fgguldm, Esq. the Mayor,
who immediately call-d together his nearest cot-
s ahles, and proceeded to the scene of allion. On
their arrival at the entrance of Cie defile that leads
to the public house, several soldiers issued forth with
drools bayonets, and one of them made several
thrusts at the peace officers, but happily without
effea. After some considt:rahle resistance, the
soldiers were taken into custody ; but, od
'way to the gaol, one of them escaped, but was
soon overtaken. At this instant, the Officers
came up ; and, although the Mayor told them he
was the Chief Magistrate of Deal, and that tt.e men
had been taken into custody by his order, for a rim.
they called out the guard, which is now nightly sta.
tioned at the Cu-tom-house, and ordered them re
charge bayonets. The guard, accordingly; ad.
vanced, till they came within a few paces of OS
Mayor, whelk he told them who he was, and desired
them not to come further, at their peril. By this
time, however, the Peace Officers had fallen back ;
and one of the Officers, drawing his sword, carried

On Wednesday morning. the Magistrate pursue!
the legal measures to take these bteakers of the
peace into custody, which was accordingly dor e,
and they were committed. It is but justice to CM.
Bloom, the Commanding Officer of the Buffs, to
say, that immediately on his being informed of this
conduel of his officers and men, he afforded -every
assistance to the Civil Authority, its causing the
