RIOT AND CHARGE OP MURDER:,

. .
On Sunday evening the parish 'of St.
was thrown into a serious state of alarm,' by one
of those numerous rows Which disgrace ihit place,
arising from a difference respecting Irish, counties;
however, this differed frOM the generality ofthetn,
as the." Limerick men" quarrelled among them-
selves, and in their usual way, agreedto decide it
by the use of shillelaghs, swords;'pokers, &c. &c.
The attack began between seven and eight o'clock,
when au immense number of men and wothen sal,
lied out of the Ship public-ho Use; in Bainbridge-
street, evidently ripe fbii the most serionsmischief.
The engagement:was 'most severe, and, during-the
conflict, an innocent man passing lily, was attack-
ed in the most brutal and ferocious manner, whom
they left for dead. The name of the unfortunate
man is Edward White.; .and had not Salmon 'ant
his party arrived, and seized, three ,of the ring-
leadcrs, and dispersed the rest, there is no doubt
but the poor man would have, been trimpled. to
death. Yesterday they were brought to the Of-
fice, and 'underwent-an examination ; they said
,their names were Patrick CallaBhan, Michael-Joyce,'
and Michael Ragan.
Margarvt DonahAie attended, and gave a full ac-
count of the proceedings of the mischievous as,
semblage which issued fron; the Shiji public-house,
in Bainbridge-street; and identified the prisoners.
Rapit wits .armed with a ,s
-,word, and Callaghan
with a bludgeon ; they were joined by s party of
their countrymen with pick=axes, shovels, •&c.
who had been employed to clear away the snow.
They, attacked White, who 'at one time. contrived
to escape\ from them., but he was pursued and
brought back to the scene of action, and beat in
the cowardly and disgraceful Manner by the
rtiffia ; she particularly distinguished Ragan and
Callaghan. beating him.
Margaret Caton confirmed the above, with the'
addition that she -saw. Joyce actively engaged in
the-attack on him. -
The parties were committed for further exami-
nation, until the fate of, the wounded -roan is

known. 1-le was taken, to the Middlesex Hospital.
...11 '` ANsioN:HonsE.---I'vsterday Mr. Beaver, a
,'countyy attorgey,, appeareil before the Loan
MAYOR to answer a. chirrge
.of assault, preferred
IY,,ti-stradesnian in East-cheap. The cir-
cumstances ai:seared to be rather uneotomon.—
Mr. Ileatii.e. was pasting, on„Saturday evening,
near the Shop- of the complainant, and, 'the way
- being slippery, he fell and broke ft window. He
went into the shop, and stated he had no small
change, but offered -:to ply for the window,
pros idell..the complkiinant_ would give him change
for a- ten-pound country note, which he ten-
dered. The complainant rclued to change the
;note,- and finding Mr. Beaver rcshfed out of
town, would not take his address,- viz. at an
inn, where he- ',occasionally resides ,when in
London. Linder that refusal words ensued be-
tween them, ainl:Mr. 13eaver, exasperated, offered

to deposit a sum of money; if the' complainant
would deposit the like sun),- and try which was
the best man. The proposal
,being negatived, a
Constable was sent for, and the complainant gave
Mr. Beaver in charge for breaking a window. The
Officer, who appeared to know;his duty, refu►ed
to take charge of him for brealiing a window, and
the complainant then charged him with having
committed an assault.

The ofiieer the❑ conveyed him to the watch•
house, where be offered to insure his appearance
before the Lord Mayor on Monday, by leaving.
101. to pay for the glass and'other expenses. He
described himself to be a person of respectability,
and. said, in case he was to be detained till Mon-
day morning it would be a matter of serious
consequence to him. The complainant and . the
officer having refused to let him go without good
bail, he sent to Messys.Kayand Fresh field , to whom
he was known, and they appeared to procure his
liberation. He was permitted to go, on their in-
tercession, and on the present occasion he attend-
ed to abide the complainant's charge. The latter,
who had no direct proof of an assault, denied that
the defendant had ever offered to pay for the glass,
and added, that Mr. B. had said he would not pay
for it.

_The Loaf) MAYoa expressed an opinion that
Mr. B. had been treated with unnecessary severity,
and dismissed him, observing, that it was a case
in which the parties might appeal to the 'civil law.
-Mr.l3. on leaving the • Maosion-House, assured
the Lord Mayor, that he should resort to legal
mums for redress.
