police-constable Topley. Major-General Wemyss then
gave the prisoner into custody.
Privates Stride and Topley, as well as several other
witnesses, gave similar evidence.
Inspector Otway, of the A division, deposed, that
after the prisoner had been charged at the station-house,
and finding where he lived, he, accompanied by Sergeant
Langley, of the detective force, proceeded to his lodg-
ings and searched his room; the only things found were
two sheets, and these had been lent to the prisoner by
his landlady; there were a few pieces of paper, which
were written on, but they contained not the remotest
allusion to firing at her Majesty. The prisoner had been
out of employment since November last. He had for-
merly worked on the Belgium and Nantes Railway, and
went over to France at the time the President of the
French Republic effected his escape from Ham. In the
course of yesterday morning be informed the prisoner
that it was likely he would be examined in the course of
the day, when he said that the pistol was only loaded with
powder, and that he bad not the slightest intention
to in-
en
jure the Queen. Witness asked him his motive, wh
he said he did it for the purpose of getting into prison,
as he was tired of being out of work.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he had heard the
whole of the evidence in reference to the charge made
against the prisoner, and on which he asked fur his
committal.
Mr. HALL asked the prisoner if he wished to say
any thing in reply to the charge which had been made
against him. He was at liberty to do so, at the same
time it was his duty to inform him that whatever he
r said would be taken down as evidence against him.
Thu prisoner replied that he had nothing to say.
Mr. HALL—You will then stand committed to New-
gate to take your trial for a misdemeanour, under the sth
and 6th Victoria, c. 41, for firing and discharging a
loaded pistol at her Majesty, with intent to alarm and
injure her Majesty.
The several witnesses were then bound over to prose-
cute, and upon the commitment being made out, the
prisoner was removed to Newgate in a cab.

JUNIOR UNITED SEIWICE CLUB.
Gentlemen,—A General Meeting of the Members having been
summoned for the 224 inst., I wish to draw your attention to .the
propriety of reconsidering the act of a General Meeting of the. Club
(nearly ten years back, Sir Felix Agar, President) which excluded:me
from the privileges of the house. That cruel act was founded on a
report"— a report, of which I had no copy nor intelligence, and got
up by a secret committee in consequence of my scrutiny into the
financial
ainvestment of the club moneys as, in my opinion at time, ad-
mitting banking peculation, since proved but too true—with part
of our then capital of 40,0001. Gentlemen, never having been
amenable to censure, nor been charged in my life with any unrsfacer-
like nor ungentlemanly conduct, I claim a restitution of membership,
and beg to intimate that the most active agent of the cabal who
showed himself and promoted that resolution, had been (several
years antecedently, in 1829) called out be me at Malta, where he, at
the Florianne cemetery, tendered to my second (Dzsßortorciu) a
written apology on the ground, at the pistol's mouth, for unjustifi-
able insolence. In conclusion, gentlemen, allow me at the same time
to state (whatever may have been, or is, my political bias, as cause
for the calumnious persecutions by Imprisonment at Bath, six months,
in London, &c., without any trial, matters not, or whatever means
Providence led the mind to collect—by the tradition amongst the
mechanical masses, in default of written evidence—fur the comple-
tion of my scientific views) my vested rights in the interests of the
club are indefeasible ; and that nothing short cf the forfeiture of my
naval rank by court-martial, or civic rights by a court of law,
could or can disentitle me to the advantages of the institution ;
nor will I—(notwithstanding that you " afterwards" elected my
brother a member speciali gratia, and sanctioned his appoint-
ment to sit as chairman of Messrs. Cockburn's Committee, at their
late banking-house), until full justice be rendered to me, sub-
scribe my name to their certificate in relation to part of the capital
stock of the Club used by them, in which a member's share belongs
to the undersigned
