I was in my own shop, at No. 30, South-street,
Manchester-square, at 4 o'clock this afternoon,
when I heard a disturbance outside. I went to
look and saw four or five men try to pull a man out
from a cart who was engaged in taking bones away
from my shop. I went out to protect him, and they
rushed at me and tried to get into the shop. I got
back into the shop when one of them took up a
knife from a board outside the shop, and made a
rush. at me and stabbed me in the side. I cannot
say it was the prisoner Quail that did it, but I am.
almost certain it was him."

Mr. Wincott having affixed his mark, the magis-
trate retired, and Quail was taken to the station.

Yesterday morning, long before the opening of
the court, a mob of upwards of a thousand persons
assembled to see the prisoners brought to the court,
but so excellently had arrangements been carried
out that they were removed from, the cabs without
any difficulty.
When the Court met Thomas Walsh, 18, of 11,
Nottingham-mews, Marylebone, was charged with
being -drunk and riotous in South•street, and
assaulting John Hammond; William Poulton, 25,
of 26, Henrietta-street, Manchester-square, with
assaulting police-constables Whelpdale, 71 D,
Hendry, 177 D, and Bennet, 277 D; Thomas Cox,
of 2, Grafton-court, Marylebone, with assaulting
George Flower, and tearing his coat ; Henry Quail,
aged 19, of 2, Palace-row, High-street, was further
charged with stabbing and maliciously wounding
Mr. John Wincott with intent to murder him, and
also with assaulting Thomas Atkinson, 75 D.
William Viall, said—l live at No. 1, Bower-road,
Hackney-wick, and carry on business as a bone-
boiler. I take the bones away from butchers' shops.
Yesterday afternoon I was engaged in taking bones
from Mr. Wincott's shop. It was about 4 o'clock. I
had just got into the cart. I saw four men coming
up the street together, larking and throwing down
whatever came in their way, no matter to whom it
belonged. They came up to my cart, when they
began throwing the bones out, and on my speaking
they threw bones at my head, and I had to take up
a large bone to defend myself. After this they
wanted to fight M:. Wincott's man, and then went
about 15 yards away, when they came back, and I
went into the shop. Mr. Wincott was called, when
Quail took up a knife and stabbed him in the groin,
saying, " Take that." The men then went away, the
man who dealt the blow taking the knife with him.
Mr. Wincott said, " I am stabbed," and rested
against the door. The prisoners were under the
influence of liquor. They threw the bones at me.
and I had to defend myself from violence. Walsh
threw bones at me, Cox did the same, and Poulton

hit me on the head.
Walsh said that at five minutes past four he was
in a public-house having share of a pot of beer.
Poulton said he was not there. Cox said he cer-
tainlyment of Mr. Wincott. I saw four men coming up the
street making a great noise. Opposite my master's
shop, the man taking away the bones had just got
the last lot out. As the men came up two of them
got on the steps on one side of the cart, and one on
the other. The fourth sprung on the end of the
cart, and, taking the basket, threw it at the last

him
a very quiet, inoffensive man. In the execution of
his duty he had often had assistance from him. He
never knew Cox to be in trouble before ' he was
always quiet and inoffensive. Poulton got his living
in an honest manner. Walsh had been in trouble
before; he has been convicted for assaults on the
police, but latterly he has been better behaved.
Mr. Yardley, after animadverting at some length
upon the conduct of the prisoners Walsh, Poulton,
and Cox, sentenced Walsh and Poulton to one
month's hard labour, and Cox to six weeks. His,
worship said, as regarded Quail, he would be re.
manded to answer a far more serious charge.
Mr. Wincott died at twenty minutes past seven.
last evening. He was only thirty years of ages
and has left a young wife and family.
