On Friday last a considerable degree of consternation
prevailed in the neighbourhood of Dorking, at a place
called Wootton Hatch, in the lower part of Surrey, in con-
sequence of several persons having been seriously wounded
during the time they accompanied a party who were en-
gaged in playing what is termed the " rough music," in the
vicinity of a house inhabited by a man named Brennan, a
gardener to a gentleman of fortune, living in that part of
the country. Owing to the number of individuals who were
wounded on the occasion, and the strong circumstances of
suspicion that Brennan was the man who bad committed
the act, he was apprehended, and on Saturday he was taken
before Edward Kenrick, Esq., and John Evelyn Boscawen,
Esq., at Wootton Hatch, when evidence was adduced
against the accused.
Charles Mott stated that he had left off work at Wotton
Rectory on Friday evening last, at seven o'clock, and that
as he was going towards home, in passing by a place called
Tillingbourne, he met a party of men and boys near the
meadow. They were hallooing, and he knew, on hearinc,
them, that they were going to play the rough music at Tile.-
lingbourne, because John Brennan was reported to have
beaten his wife. Witness accompanied the party towards a
'place called the Wilderness, and the people kept making a
noise ; and when he got a short distance further, he 'felt
that he was shot in the head and in the shoulder ; but he
heard no report of a gun, neither did he see the person who
dischaiged the gun. Witness was standing close to Mr.
Joddrell when he was shot; and he also saw several other
parsons who were at a short distance off, and who appeared
to have been wounded, for some of them fell to the
ground. He, witness, added that he turned back with
the rest to Wootton Hatch, and was attended by a medical
man, who extracted two shots from his bead, and two from
his shoulder.

Mr. George Curtis deposed as follows :—I am a surgeon
at Dorking, and between nine and ten o'clock on Friday
night I received a message to attend at Wootton Hatch, to
give assistance to several persons who were said to have
been shot. I attended accordingly, and found John Edsor,
Charles Mott, Charles Shearman, and Mr. Joddrell ; and
also saw Edmond and William Johnson at their respective
houses ; also John Wright Edsor. I found, upon examin-
iveg the latter individual, that he had received about twenty
shots in the head, face, and shoulders ; one had penetrated
the eye ; he is very severely wounded, but I do not consi-
der yet that his life is in danger, but he cannot be moved
hither to give his evidence. William Johnson has received
several shots ; one of them in the eye, but I hope he may
also be saved, but he cannot be moved. All the other in-
dividuals that I have named are more or less wounded, but
not severely.
Richard Collis examined--I live at a place called Pugh-
corner, in the parish of Abinger. On Friday night I had
been with a parcel to Wootton Hatch, and heard there that
there was to be rough music at Tillingbourne, and I went
to see it. It was about half-past seven o'clock. I came
up with the party in the road, just over the bridge leading
to Tillingbourne-house. John Edsor, Mott, Shearman,
. Dan. Elms, and some others, were in the first rank. Mr.
Joddrell, Mr. Smith, and Charles Elms, came in the second,
and I and the Johnsons, Mrs. Mott, and Richard Caldwell
were walking in the third rank ; there were children there
too ;in all about 150 persons. We walked in some sort of
order, because there had been some rough music played in
Tillingbourne on the Wednesday evening before, when I
heard Brennan say that he would kill every one
of us, and that he would then fight any of us on the
next morning. At this time John Edsor was then in
front, and I was behind. When the party on Friday
night got to the footpath leading out of the coach-road
through the coppice, I stopped and looked towards Til-
lingbourne House to see whether Brennan came out.
. I then saw a person in a dark jacket standing by the
holly, between the fir-tree and the gate, and I saw him dis-
charge a gun. It was very light at the time. The report was
not loud, and I thought it was only a little powder. No
one I saw was then hurt. We then went on through the
coppice, and round, so that we came back nearly to the spot.
When we got near the spot, Elms said to me, " There he
stands !" meaning the person who discharged the gun ; and
I looked towards the place, and at the moment the same
person discharged a gun the second time, and three or four
persons fell at my feet. I received one shot in my shoulder.
After I was shot, I rushed forward to seize the person, and
a man named Dibble and Charles Shearman followed me
for a few yards, but soon fell back, and I was left alone. At
this time I was within seven or eight yards of the man that
bad fired the gun. I could not sea his face, but when the
fired he exclaimed, " There's that for you!" and I can un-
dertake to swear that it was Brennan's voice. When the
gun went off, John Overton, who lodges at Williams's, was
coming down the coach road, by the house, to join the
party. After I returned from pursuing the man, I tried to
rally the party to follow me, and take him, saying, " Let us
have him out." The same voice, which I swot'? was Bren-
nan's, said, from the corner of the house, in a tone of defi-
ance, " Will you, will you ?" The witness added that they
did not go forward to take the marl, 110 returned to Woot-
tea Batch with the wounded men,
Richard Paul Hayes Joddrell, Esq., sworn—l live at
Abinger. I heard yesterday that there was to be rough
music at Tillingbourne, and I then went and joined the
party. Upon first going into the meadow by the garden,
close to Tillingbourne, some stones were thrown, one of
which hit my leg. A little further on, near Tillingbourne
House, a gun was fired, the shots from which cut the tree
above me. Going round the second time, and near the
same place, a gun was again fired, within 24 yards of us,
the shots from which struck mo, two on the face, two in the
arm, and ten entered my fustian coat. John Edsor, Edward
and William Johnson were struck likewise. Edsor and one
of the Johnsons fell when the shot was fired. Afterwards
I heard the people shout, calling for fire to fire the house
in which the man who discharged the gun was supposed to
have taken refuge, and heard the crowd calling out to break
the windows of the house, lam certain this was not said
before the gun was fired, The witness added, that they all
then left the place, and he went with some of his party to
Wooton-hatch, who were severely wounded, and when they
arrived there he (witness) sent for a medical men, and also
fora Magistrate.

The evidence of Arthur Cavendish Bentinek, Esq., who,
with tome other witnesses, accompanied the party with
rough music, was to the same purport at that given by the
preceding deponent,

The prisoner war committed for trial.

SHIPWRECKS.--We are sorry to notice the total
loss of the Friends Goodwill, of Carmarthen, on Friday
evening se'nnight whilst on her passage from Llanelly,
with a cargo of coal for the Tin Works. The circum-
stances attending the loss of this vessel and cargo, we un-
derstand, proceeded entirely from the gross misconduct
of the man left in charge. The Captain, David Bowen,
being absent at the time of high water, the man, whose
name is Windham, took upon himself to take the vessel
to sea, the consequenee was, after he had proceeded some
distance, (the vessel being old) became leaky, and having
no assistance to the pump, the vessel sunk at eight or
ten fathoms of water, at the entrance of Carmarthen Bar.
The fellow saved himself by taking to the boat. Such
careless conduct in any one entrusted with the property of
othcrs, cannot, we think, he too severely punished. The
Peggy of Swansea, William Hughes, ran on shore on
Laugharne Sands, on Saturday last, whilst on her passage
to Carmarthen from Llanelly, with coal and block tin for
the Works, but through the praisworthy r.',Onduct of Mr.
Prosser, and the prompt assistance
the farmers in the
neighbourhood, with their horsks and carts, most part of
vessel has, since becC,lllo a total wreck. No lives were lost.
'but we regret to add, that the
the cargo li,as holen sated,
We regret to;4nnounee the loss of the sloop Star, of Aberyst-
wyth, with all hands on board. She left New Quay on
Saturday se'nnight, laden with ballast, and it is supposed
she must have either capsized or foundered in a squal, as
the mast rigging, and other parts of the wreck have been
found on the beach. The Resolute, of Barmouth, Roberts,
master, from Dublin, in ballast, went on shore on the 30th
ult., in Carmarthen Bay, during a gale of wind from the
north west. She has not floated since, but it is hoped will
be got off when the tides rise.—Carnarvon Herald.

The fifth half-yearly meeting of the Belgrave Lite-
rary and Scientific Institution, Sloane-street, was held on

The property stolen in the two last cases, amounted to
seventeen-pence, and the expences of witnesses, &c., con-
nected with the prosecution were little short of four guineas.
Esther Jane Munday and Ann Jones, were indicted for
stealing a piece of ribbon, value 65., the property of Edward
Boyle, a draper, in Farringdon-street. The charge was
clearly established against the prisoners, who were both de-
glared Guilty.
Thomas Bowfing was indicted for stealing a fowl, value
25., the property of William Street, of Islington. The
Jury convicted the prisoner.
William Watkins was indicted for stealing a cloak, value
35., the property of W. Beauchamp. The Jury consulted
for a few minutes, when they returned a verdict of acquittal.
Helen Brown, Sarah, her sister, and Maria King, were
indicted for stealing a piece of print, the property of John
Jones, and Eliza Jones was charged with receiving the
same, knowing it to have been stolen. The Jury returned
a verdict of acquittal in favour of all the prisoners, as they
could not ascertain which of them took the print.
The Court adjourned before six o'clock.
