THE EXTRAORDINARY RIOT AT CREMORNE.—Regi-
nald Herbert, Joan Birkett, Ed ward Saville, Herbert
Shawcross, Charles Mott, and Evan M'Dougal, the six
gentlemen who have undergone so many examinations upon
the charges of riot and assault at Cremorne, made their
final appearance this morning at this court.
The attendance of persons anxious to hear the last of the
case was, as before, very large.
Mr. Sleigh, accompanied by Mr. Abrams, again appeared
for the prosecution, and Mr. Smythies for Herbert, and
some other legal gentleman for the other defendants.
Oa the parties all appearing before the magistrate,
Ur' Sleigh sai I—l under stand Mr. Hutchinson wishes
to say something to you, and I think, with submission to
you, that now is the hest time.
Mr. Hutchinson—My application is in behalf of Saville.
You are aware, sir, from my former statement, that he is an
officer in the army, who has obtained leave for a short
visit to London, but who should be with his regiment again
as soon as possible. The object of my applica: ion is to
effect this if I can obtain your sanction. The sooner this
is settled the bete er for this young gentleman, and I have
therefore respectfully to ask you to send this case for trial
at the Central Criminal Court, instead of to the Middlesex
Sessions. The defendants would have the advantage of
having the case tried by one of the judges.
Mr. Arnold—Why should I depart from the usual course P
Mr. Hutchinson—The Central Criminal Court holds
its sessions next week, the Middlesex not till the week after
next, so that a week's time will be saved.

Mr. Arnold—The orders from the Secretary of State's
office must Prevent my complying. I have no power to
help it ; it must be tried at the Middlesex bessions.

The whole of the depositions having then been gone
through, defendants' bail were again taken for their appear-
ance at the sesions.

TILE MODERN TAREEIA.N Ho mu —Elizabeth Smith,
aged 21, of 16, Palmer's Folly, Ratcliff.highway, a single
woman, and Annie Wilson, 29, a married w.,znan, were
brought up on remand, charged with attempting suicide in
the London •dpck. The first named prisoner threw herself
into the water from the New Gravel-lane bridge, and the
other from Old Gravel-lane bridge, and were both saved by
the dock watchmen and police. They were remanded for a
week to the Clerkenwell House of Detection, to which place
a number of would-be suicides have been almost daily com-
mitted by the magistrates. The Rev. Mr. J. phson, the
chaplain of the prison, has given much good advice and
spiritual consolation to persons who attempted to destroy
themselves, and particularly to the unhappy women wh, ,
while labouring under excitement and drunkenness, have
plunged into the water from the Old and New Gravel-lane
bridges, where suicides have been lamentably numerous.
Mr. Woolrych said the excellent chaplain of the House
of Detention had written .to him that the prisoners were
very penitent and sorry for what they had done, and that,
