came up just before you, but I don't know where the
devil.he sot to. I suppose he ieuet have scempered
through the roof." Witness showed her some of the
clothes, and a small lanthorn, and a knife, which he
found on prosecutor's premises, and produced. On see-
ing the latter she remarked, " That is my old man's
knife, I will swear to it, I have used it frequently; and
the lanthorn belongs to my child."
William Langley, 42 F, said he apprehended Wallace
in a public-house in High Holborn, on the 14th instant,
and said to him, " Joe, I want you," and prisoner an-
swered, " All right, I heard you were after me." Wit-
ness said, " I suppose you know what for?" Prisoner
said, " All right, but I thought it was my game to keep
out of the way," Witness also heard Neale say at Bow-
street to a female who was taken into custody on suspi-
cion, and discharged, "I suppose I shall catch it for
this, but don't you fret ; I'll get you off all right. What
a fool I must have losen to let Joe run away when the
constables were coming up stairs."
There being no further evidence of the burglary, in
consequence of the absence of the City constables en-
Raged in the case, the prisoners were remanded till
Thursday next, for committal.
LAMBETH.
Yesterday Thomas Hackett, a farrier, was finally
examined before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of stealing
91. 10s., the monies of Mr. Joseph Ellis, a carman, in
Churcb-street, Newington.
From the evidence of the prosecutor and his witnesses,
it appeared that the prisoner was frequently employed in
his business by Mr. Ellis, and was in consequence per-
mitted to come on and go through any part of the pre
misess On Monday last, he called at the house of the
prosecutor, and had been for some time in the back pr-
icier, and when he was gone 91. 10s. in gold and silver
was missed from a cupboard in which it bad been placed.
All the witnesses swore that no other person had an
opportunity of taking the money, and the prisoner. whn
merely denied the charge,,v,is fully committed for trial.
THAMES.
John Sullivan, 18; Cornelius Ronan, 19; Mathew
(leafy, 15; Michael H irding, 23; Franei: Sullivan, 40;
North, his wile, 39; Mary Donovan, 21; and Mary
Cauty, 20, were charged with being drunk and disorderly
and assaulting Sergeant Weakford, 5 H, Francis Wil-
liams, 113 H, John H. Bickell, 149 H, Armstrong, 178
H, Hall, 127 H, Mackey, 66 H, and Sines, 153 H., and
various other constables.
The prisoners presented a frightful appearance in the
dock. Mathew Cauty had received several most severe
cuts—he was lifted into and supported in the dock by
his sister; he groaned heavily, and appeared to be in a
dying state.
IMr. YARDLEY directed that all the prisoners should
stand down. and that Cauty should he attended to.
Shortly after a medical man entered the c erre and
seid that Cauty was suffering from congestion of the
brain.
Mr. YARDLEY—IS it not dangerous? He appears to
me to be in a dying state.
Medical Man—lt would be adviseable to take him to
the hospital.
Mr. YARDLEY—Do not the wounds appear to have
been inflicted by a blunt instrument, or caused by a
fall? Surgeon—l have not examined them—they were
dressed by a medical man. I can examine them, if
you wish.
Mr. YARDLEY—Bat it might be injurious.
Sergeant White said Mr. Mears, the divisional sur-
geon, who dressed the wounds, could be sent for if
necessary.
Canty was then removed ; and the case proceeded
against the other prisoners, all of whom—except the
females—are dreadfully wounded, and were covered with
blood.
It appeared from the evidence of Sergeant Weakford
(who is most seriously injured and wounded) and the
other constables, that at about two o'clock yesterday
morning the male prisoners and others were drunk and
creating a great disturbance in Fielagate-street, White-
chapel. Weektord and Dodd, 45 H, went up and advised
them to go away. They went to the corner of New-street,
a distance of ten yards, and then turned round saying,
"We wont go; ge away with you, you dogs." They
then went down New-street, and commenced throwing
stones; end brickbats. The officer went away, thinking
they would go home, but John Sullivan threw hell a
brick a hich struck the sergeant on the shoulder. He
caught hold of Sullivan, who was immediately rescued
by his father and others, and they all went into the
house, 8, New-court. Weakford sent Dodd for assis-
tance, and went in to apprehend the younger Sullivan,
when the old roan struck him a violent blow with a thick
stick on the back cf the head.
Me. YARDLEY—Had you your staff out? Wenkford—
I had; but I had struck no one. Williams, 113, who is
unable to attend, then entered the roost. Nona' Sulli
van knocked the sergeant's hat off, and he was struck
across the head by a piece of iron by Sullivan or Ronan.
He bled profusely. The elder Sullivan then struck
Williams with part of a hatchet, and forced him out of
the house in an insensible state.
Mr. YARDLEY—Had you used your staff? Weakford
—No; I had not an opportunity, They then dragged
me out of the house, and I was thrown down insensible.
One of the prisoners had a sickle in his hand. Bickell,
149, was received with a terrible blow from the chopper,
which slit his hat in two. Donovan then attempted to
strike him with part of a stool, but he warded it off with
his staff. Mary Cauty threw a bucket of water in
Mackey's face, and handed missiles to her brother to
throw at the constables. They also assaulted Armstrong
and Sines,
Mr. YARDLEY said he should remand the prisoners
till Monday, when he hoped Williams would be able to
attend.
