. T, ey were ordered to find bail. •
. John Fred, who stated himseit to be a shoemaker, ,
residing inWhite-hut-court, Castle-stre4Leicester-,
Square, was next brougk forward and charged by
Mr. J. Brandon with being one of the most riotous
charatters that had appeared in the Theatre since its
opening. Mr. Brandon deposed, that he had watched
the prisoner from the commencement of the 4th
and• perceived him particularly conspicuous it
every possible device to cteate tumult ; at one time,
he was running train, tire top to the bottom of the
pit, hooting and roaring, then assisting in elevating
placards, and finally addressing, the females' in the
private and dress-6(A* in the most indecent lan-
guage.
The Prisoner in his defence said, he had been
driven about by the fluctuation of the crowd, but
denied that there was any impropriety in his demea-
nour. There were several persons, however, in the
°thee, who substantiated the charges against him,
and he was ordered to be committed, in default of
bail.•
Yesterday a nunibeT of livery stable-keepers, and
other perions, who have been 'robbed, of horses and
gigq, attended for the purpose of seeing the person of
Robert . Norton, who has been custodflor'Several
days past, on a charge of hiring a horse at a livery
stable at Moorgate, under the pretence of going to
Tlatupstead, but instead of that rode it to Tattersall's,
at Hyde-park corner, and from thence to a livery-
stable, in Halkin-street, Grosvenor-Place, wheie he
sold it for 1 5 -guinea's ; but upon inquiry for the pri.;
soner, the gaoler, of the New' Prison, Clerkenwell,
reported that the Prisoner had cut his throat, early
yesterday morning ; he, however, had not nerpe.
. trated the horrid deed effe6tually, as he was .still alive,
and there were some little hopes of his recovery.'

GUILDHALL.—DanieI Gleeson, a porter, in the
service of Mr. Rutter, (of Barbican, was examined,
yesterday, charged on suspicioit of robbing his maS-
ter's counting-house, on Sunday, of Bank of England
Notes, and Bills of Exchange to a considerable
amount.

Arr. Rutter stated, that the prisoner, as was usual,
came to his house, On Sunday, to get the key of the
_stable, fcir the purpoSe of feeding his horse. He went
imo the counting-house to seek. for it, but not find-
ing it tilers, sent the servant woman up stairs to
search for it, and during her absence, 'be remained
alone in the counting-house a but before she had
time to return farther than the stairs-head, he went
out at the hall door, which he left open, aL.d went
away, and was observed to have the skirts of his
great coat drawn forward, in an unusual alpnucr, as
if he concealed 'something.

t On Mr. Rutter's coming home in the, evening;
I he was informed of Gleeson's having been there,
!•-and some time in the counting-house, tie went,
but without entertaining any particular sutsjcion, to
examine if his desk was locked, but found thdt
side which he usually reserved for his own use un-
,locked; and a small bill box, about twelve inches in
.which contained fifteen pounds in , Bank
notes and money, and bills of exchange accepted,
but not indorsed, to the .amount of fLS3I. gone.
He imMediately procured-.a peace officer, and went
'to the prisoner's lodgings, where he found hitu and
his wife in bed. They searched, but found no hing
of the property. The wife, however, during the
search, took an opportunity of going out of the
t house, but they could not.trace her to where she
bad been, nor, ascertain what she might have taken
out with her,

• The prisoner denied all knowledge of the tran-
saetion, but acknowledged lie had Opened a drawer
in the desk to search for the key, which he did not
find there.

He and his wife, who is also in custody, were
remanded for further examination.

UNION-HALL.—John Jones and like Robarts, two
Welch drovers, were brought before the Sitting Ma-
gistrate, by Snow, one of the Surrey constables,who
stated that he met the Prisoners on Sunday evening,
near the Rockingham Arms, in the Kent-road, one
of them leading a .poney and the other following.
Having a suspicion that they had' stolen the poney,
he went up and stopped them, when be perceived a
pair of linen trowsers lying across th)e poney, full of
something ; the men had also several parcels about
them. On searching the parcels and trowers, they
were found to contain nineteen dozen silk handker-
chiefs.

The Prisoners said they bad travelled from Wales •
to Deal with beasts; whilst at Deal they purchased
the handkerchiefs for fifty pounds; they bought
than as at tides of English mimula6ture, and intend-
ed to have sold them again on their arrival in Wales,
At the desire of the Magistrate, several eminent.
Silk Mercers attends d, who, on examining the
handkerchiefs, all agreed in opinion that they were
real
.India, and as such prohibited being sold in this-
cyontrY. - A person from the Custom-house attend-
ed, this decision, 'seized the golds. The
risoners were then discharged, but immediately
served-wikh a summons,
.requiring them to attend
oniFriday: next, and shew cause why the handker-
chiets shonld not be condemned, and the person in
IThose possession they Were •ibund by the. Officer
fined in three times their value,. according to Actof
Parliament..

MARLBORQUGIF.STREET.—Henry Hart was charg.
ed with'felony, at Stephen's 'Hotel; Bond-street,:-on
Saturday, into which he got .under false preLences..
The prisoner, who was until- lately, what is termed
a cadger (a- begging impostor) went to the howl on
SinurClay morning, in the dress ofa sailor, and stated
himself to have been 'sent thither, by two Naval
Captains, who were on their way from a seaport,
to.engage lodgings, and accommodation for them.
The prisoner had note; purporting to be from the
Captains to a waggon office, from whence their bag.
gage was to be sent to the hotel. He remained'at the
hotel, and lived well until the evening, when he
was seen walking out-of the hall with a pair•of the
waiter's boois, and he was taken into .custody. 'Se-i
veral charges for smilar impositions at oth,..r hotels
were preferred against:hint. '• :He was committed for
trial. •

A man of the name of Sinifison,•whO keeps a
lodging-house for the Cliprian tribe in Suffolk-
street, Middlesex Hospital, was charged with com-
mitting a rape on a child, 12 years old, under very
aggravated circumstances. The child's sister was
an unfortunate inmate of the prisoner's house, and
the complainant called to see her, when the prisoner
contrived by artifice to accomplish his purpose to the
full extent of ►he capital part of the charge. He
was remanded for another examination.

- Awriourrtr.s.--On Friday se'nnight, as some
labourers were digging on the premises on Christo=
pher Taylor, Esq. of Legburn Abbey, near Louth,
they discOvered,five human-skeletons, which has oc-
caSioned 'no small degree of conjebure in that'
neighbourhood. The sport where they were found
is supposed' by some•to have been the burial place of
the. Nunnery founded there by Robert de Lekeburn.
According to Duedale, the above Robert was buried
in the Chapter-house belonging to the Abbe. This
Nunnery must have been of very, considerable anti-
quity ; as we find; from the 'above` authority, that
King John, in the first year of his reign,_ confirmed
the estates belonging: to it. At this remote peridd,
it is not easy to orge' an opinion on the..subjeet.—
. One of the skeletons rested on its side, in an hori-
zon 4, and.one in, a, F rpendicalar position, per-
feCtly upright ; the remaining three were sornewhat
`scattered—the skulls being all within the circlim7
ference. of. three feet, only two. feet below the "sur-,
face of the earth. History does not: furi ish- ni with
any adthentic records of any -battle, in the time' of
Cromwell, except that of liVinceby, in this county,
or we should be disposed to draw a relative conclu-
sion ; we are, however, still inclined to think, that
the above discoveey is conneaed with that period.
The bones were in a very perfea state, and,' in one
instance, the teeth, were remarkably sok:nd—they
w ere- 'carefully colieeled,' and again interred. - It 4nts
been since supposed, and;' ith some degree of pro,
bability, that they were the remains of some 'who
died of a contagious disease, in the year 1631, or of
the plague hi 1666, at which period the mortality
was great in Louth and its vicinity. This opinion is
strengthened by there being no appearance of Coffins
in which the bodies might have been interred: T: .7.7 t
labourers, on further examination, came to the
foundation,. of a stone building, no doubt of the
Chapter-house, which has'given additional strength.
to the conclUSion first drawn.
A fire broke out in a cottage belonging to a poor
woman; in .the .(12-,ware-road, on Saturday night,
Which consumed the same, and Nirs. Holling, the
owner, was burnt. The &ceased was a fortthie-
jeller of considerable notoriety, and it was supposed'
that the fire was occasioned by :ler having.lett a can-
' die burning in a chair by her bed-side, as she was in
a' state of inebriation, at ten o'clock, at, a, public-
, house in the neighbourhood, fi'cirtA, Witn;ll Oace a

LAID. REPORT.

COURT OF KING'S 136 t, WEsTmiNszta.Nov.w.

THE LUNG V.'CLIFFORD, WEINHOLT. SAVAGE, SCOTT,
AND RIDLgY.-CONSPIRACY. •

The ATTORNBY-GENERAL moved for a Rule to
shew cause why-a criminal information should not
be filed against certain persons, for conspiring hi ,
liotous mariner, for the, purpose of coalsellit , the
' Proprietors of CoaeittsGarden Theatre to admii per-
eons to the. plaee of atrusement at what they called
the Old Prices, awl tia reduce the prices to what
they chose to diCtate.
His trierion, was grounded on• several affidavits,
the first of which that he should state to their Lord-
ships" way the affidavit of John Philip Kemb.e, one
. of the Proprietors and Managers of the Theatre,
which stated, that the Theatre was bunt down in
September, 1808, and that it had been since rebuilt
at a great expenee ; that in consequence of this ex-
pence it was found necessary to make an advance
in the prices of admission, but that the whole rise
was onl) an advance of onexhilling on the. boxes,
and sixpence on the pit; the half-price for the lat-
ter remaining the same as .before, as• well as the
prices to the galleries. .
He had also an affidavit of Joseph Glassington,
the Prompter, which set ford), that the new Theatre
was opened on the a ath of September last ; that
previous to the opening thereof, there appeared in
different Newspapers v trines advertisementsapara-
graphs, letters, &c. inciting Hie Public to resist this
advance of prices, and tending to produce the riot-
ous combination of individuals, for the purpose of
carrying that \objoal into effeti : that accordingly,
on the opening of the Theatre, there was a great
number of people assembled . in all parts of the
who conducted- themselves in the most
riotous manner, interrupting and rendering the per-
formauces -totally inaudible, by barking, shouting,
groaning, catcalls, cries of Off! Off'! Old Prices !
floe. while some even proceeded to damage the
Theatre, by tearing the . box doors off the hinges,
and otherwise injuring the property, a crowd of
people being also assembled on
.the outside, who
were actuated with similar designs. The affidV•it
then proceeded to stale, that this noise and aiof
having continued with similar or increased Violence
for five successive nights, the Proprietors resoled
to shut up the Theatre, 'and lay their hooks_ and
accounts before several Gentlemen, to ascertain their
profits, who unanimously concurred in the opinion
that the advance of prices was .fair and reasonable.
That the Theatre was opened n,rain on Monday, the
4th of OClober last ; at which time a number of per-
;tans assembled again in different perts-of the house,
,e‘idently for the express purpose'of producing noise,
riot, and disorder, and the Same. shduting, and cries
of. Off ! off ! Old Prices for ever ! No Priveie fluxes
were'persisted in, which utterly preveineo the
performance from being hearo 5 that- for the first
two or three nights after the re-opening, these dis-
turbances began at the commencement of the•pfay ; •
- but that afterwards . they .did not begin . till half-
price, so that there seemed to be formed a regular
patty, for the purpose.' of cairving into etieet an
illegal objeCt in the most riotous manlier ; that
they, produced the most various and discordant
noises, by latighing blowing .of
horns and. .trumpets, springing of rattles, ringing of
dustmen's bells, --Scc. 5 that man" came with the
symbolical CharaCtera 0. P. in- their hats„ and
upon their clothes, forming rings; and teakitig
mock fights in the pit, and sometimes pushing in
a great body, or mass, on the peaceable spectators in
that part of the house, to their great annoyance and
disquiet, and-to the complete interruption of the per- •
forMance ; that many bad resisted the Constables
end Police Officers, who were placed in the house
for the ptrrpose of preserving order; -aud that 'as
soon as the performances were over, they were ac-
customed to depart in -a body, in order to deter the '
peace officers from seizing any of their members;
that .they conduCied tihernSelves in this riotous and
illegal manner -night. atter night a that- there had
been no night-without disturbance ; and that though
several, per sons, had been ,taken ~into custody, _some
of whom the Grand Jury had.sent to take their trial
for such riotous condual, yet, note ithstattding, the
same disorder and tumult have existed, and still con-
tinue to prevail; -that there have been advertise-
ments published, from day to day, in some-of the
newspapers, inviting subscriptions to support the
cause'
,of those who are said to have been unjustly
prosecuted for the. said offences, many of which
subscriptions contain the Mast scurrilous, refledions
on the chareeter and conduc=t of J. P. Ketnisle, one
of the fpoprietors of the said Theatre ;. for all which
reasons, he, the said Joseph Glassington, the depo-
nent, is fully persuaded and believes, that a conspi-
racy has teen formed for the purpose os conspeling
the Proprietors to reduce the, prices of acireission, of
which conspiracy the letters 0. P. are the signal and
watch-word. The Attorney-General went ou to
observe, that he- held in his band another affidavit,
in which Wert stated several of the placards, which
eivere the insignia of riot, and among which he should
only notice the following :—" A long pull, a strong
pull, and 4-pull-all together, lot old prieea!"—" John
Bull, be very hold and resolute ! Ne'er depart from
'your resolution; but firmly keep your noisy station."
From all these circumstances ptit together, he sub-
mitted to- their Lordships,. that-it was quite evident a
sitimber of people must have entered into an express,
or at least an understood agreement, to compel the
Managers to restore the old prices of admission.—
These affidavits, the Attorney-General observed,
4ivelit only to the general -scene and conduct of
theset irit.osaftions; but he, had others, which
went -to the asits of. individuals, and pointed
out particular persons, who had- made -them-
selves conspicuous by .acing a leading part in'
these riotous proceedings.--'s And here, my Lords,"
said he, " it is with very great-. regret that I -feel
myself - compelled to mention one- name, a Gen-.
Mahan Of lent-nines-, of education, and of the same
aasaession t.ith mySell; I mean Mr. Henry Clifford.
It is a matter of deep regret to me that any appli-
cation should he made against such a peroq.; but I
do so beta'-se I reel it of infinite importance that- the-
public should humw these proheedings are contrary
to law, by sahoinsoever sanctioned, and alo. on ac
count of the danger Of 'others-being misled by such

an example. On these grounds I trust your Lord-
ships will see the necessity of bringing tbrward this
;charge. Nay, I should think myself bound to do
'so for the honour of the, profession itself, for it
would be an indelible disgrace to that profession to
look out for example from the hunibler walks of
lice, it that Gentleman did not share the same fate,
possessed at he is, cf such superior: advantages of
education and learning. My affidavits state,. that
on the night of the 3 tst of October there was the
usual tumultae the half-price, and with these rioters,
was Mr. Clifford, who. wore in his hat the ensign
of 0. P. itilarge capttala. The
_affidavit. does not
indeed fix upon him any individual at of tumult or.
riot ; but he was with the party, and by the badge
which he wore, gave countenance to the. usual riot-
ous proceedings. Tha. Gentleman continued to
give the-same countenaece at the 4th of Novem-
ber, at ball price, With the letters 0. P. in his hat,
which were the ensigns of riot, and he was hailed
as their leader by the whole patty, as soon as be
entered the house, most of them calling ont " Clif
`ford for ever 1" " Three cheers for Mr. Clifford
From-this it was evident, that he having appeared
:in the Theatre, the objet (or which he se appeared
was apparent and understood by all. They recog-
'liked him as their leader;and he recognised them as
his associates, by inviting and encouraging them to
bring about their unlawful ends by rioting and up-
roar. One of the affidaVits statesa that on this oc-
casion Mr. Clifferd addressed his auditors as follows :..
" That is right, go on, persevere, acid' whee you
leave the house disperse." This Geinleruan- was
again at the Theatre on the 7th of Not ember, with
the usual symbol, ande.aaa. joined by numbers who
made a noise and uproar. Thus we have him three
nights at -the,Theatre, and always. with the same
objet. The second night he is cheered by the
party, and recognised as their leader. He encou-
rages them to perseyere in uproar, though he takes
care fo add the prudent eautioh of bidding them
disperse when they- left the house/ There are like-
wise tour other persons against whom appkatioos
are made, of the names of \Veinbolt, Savage, Scott,
andllidley. With respe& to Ridley, there tt as no
other proof of a conspiracy, but his appearitig on
the 3 15t o October wit:: the letters o.l'. in his hat,
and, when taken before fa Magistrate; he declares
his resolution to persist in doing t hesame night after
night., This clearly s'iewed a .preconcerted deter-
mination ace etra..-t .his purpose. ,N't_th respect to
Weinholt, one affidavit states him as appearing on
the 3I st of October and four following nights, at
different times. This person takes a very pointed
part; he has always°. P. in his hat, the"aame en-'
sign of 'rid( and disorder. He is seen, holding up a
variety of placards; -among others, one with the
words " We conquer; or die," upon it; and the
person who attempted .4) tear it down, was turned
our in the scuffle. - Messrs. Scott and Savage are also
seeed at length in the affidavits -to have been Co:l-
-eer:30 in
,a similar way ; but I will not occupy your
I,oi-tellies' time too much, by entering into the atti-
daVie; at greater length. ',These seine men appeared
at different times, and always with the same object
in view.- Upon the whole, I 'have stated to your
Loloships the general-aspect of the tumult and up-
nee have taken place every night since the
teeming of the Theatre ; I have also ,sated particu-
l.zrs of disorderly conduct,- as exemplified by thost• in-
:rrieluals tee, now c;iai ged, and. I believe I lime
laid enough to fix upon them the character of per-
sons who were conspiring to effect by illegal means'
what they con!d not lawfully db. These are the
most prominent persons.in the. disturbances; and
the INLinagers have instructed me to move for a rule
to spew cause why a criminal information for a con!
spiracy should not he filed against them." -
Lord ELLESI3OROVG,II.7—!..` Take your
