RIOT AT CIIELiEA.

(ADDITIONAL PARTICULAIIS.)
In this Paper-of Saturday, we
,gave an nee.puti
elan affray at Chelsea between. several soldiers belonging to the
Life Guards and the eivii power, consisting of two constables
named Maybank and Canning, arid about fourteen watch-
men, the majority of • whom were violently beaten in their
attempt to secure the soldiers, after they had committed as-
saults of a most desperate description upon a watchman and
several other individuals, without any provocaticin. The fol-
lowing additional particulars have since been stated to us :
Three Life-guardsmen, named Fife, Seaton, and Crouch, and 2
others, played several games at skittles, in Mr. Amsted's (the
Bedford Arms Pont-street, Sloane-street) skittle-ground, and
lost a pint of beer each, and went into the tap-room to drink
it. 'l'isey were then quite friendly with este% other. Several
workmen in the employ of Mr. Whitehead, a painter, were'
drinking in the tap-room, when the soldiers entered. One
of the soldiers proposed to a painter, named Carr, to toss
for a pint of beer ; Carr tossed and won ; and the soldier
accidentally dropped three-half-pence on th floor, and or-
dered Carr to pick them up. Carr said he would not. The
soldier swore lie would make him. Carr replied he was not
his master, and he wished " (iod might strike him dead
if he did pick them up ;" and the other workmen told Carr
not to pick them up. The soldiers swore they would knock
his head off if he did not, and struck Carr, and several
of his companions, and knocked them from one side of the..
room to the other. The tap-room window was thrown up.
and who could get through made their quickest way into the
.street : but several of them were severely beaten before they
could get away. .Cries of " murder" were called, and on an
old watchman entering the room, the three soldiers set upon
• him at once, and beat him in the most violent manner.—
One struck him on the head unit face with a pewter pot,
and anothci about the arms and legs with the staff he had
wrenched out of his hands immediately on his entering the.
tap-roorn. Another watchman entered, and one of the soldiers
seized a red hot poker from the fire, and made a blow at the
watchman's head ; fortunately the square end struck against
the wall, but' the poker was bent very considerably by the
force of the' blow. Two other watchmen received blows from
the soldiers. .• During this outrage, although 50 or 00 • per-
sons were outside the house, ant saw the conduct of the soldiers,
they thirst not interfere., A colstder, named Ogleby, who
keeps a stall near to thepublic-house, was beat and kicked by
the soldierie The names of the watehrnen that were most
used, were Towline, Elliot, Mason, Buttery, Rubble and War.
wick. On the arrival of Maybank and Canning, with a rein-
forcement of watchmen, the former determined to go for a file
of soldiers, as his life was nearly sacrificed about three years
ago, by an affray with the Life Guards. On his arriving at the
public-house with the corporal's guard, Canning entered the tap-
room, and ordered the guard to secure the three soldiers, when
Fife struck at Canning with a fire-shovel: but he retreated and
avoided the blow. The corporal of the guard took Fife by the
collar and led him to the door, when he suffered him to go, and
he ran away, but was secured in Cadogan-placie. The constables
then insisted upon the guard doing their duty, and acenmPanied
them and the three soldiers to Knightsbridge thoracic*. On
the way, some of' the soldiers repeatedly
attchipted to assault
Mr. Maybank. It was the Adjutant who stated that the
public-house kept by Mr. A. was a disorderly house, and Can-
ning replied that it was a highly reseeeta
ble, wuse, and as well
conducted as any house in the parish. The Adjutant said,Who
is that impudent fellow ? and ordered Mr. C. to be turned out of
the barracks, which was done. As soon as theesoldiers were called
out, 'and it was reported several watchmen were in a dying state,
-Mr. Briant, a :Magistrate for the county, residing in Cadman-
place, being informed of the eirciunstauce, hastened to the

whose head was broken. Went to Mr. Richardson's, a surgeon,
in Sloane-street. Tomline was in so bad a state that he could
not be dressed that night, and next morning was very feverish,
and twenty-two ounces of blood were taken from him. The
following particulars of the injuries sustained by the four per-
sons who were taken to Mr. Morrah's have been. furnished by,
that gentlenian from a copy of his memoranda taken upon the
occasion :
Tomline.—Two severe cuts upon the left side of the head
(one aewicircular, of about seven inches in length, such as
would have been the effect of a blew given by the bottom of a
pewter-pot); another wound on the right side, a blow on the
eye, and other wounds. .
Mason— cut on the forehead, and other injuries not likely
to prove fatal.
Samuel lelliott—A very severe cut on the HI hand, and other

injury.

An Inquest was held on Saturday last, at the
King's Arms, Edgewarc-road, before ThomAs q'r
Esq., on the body of John Alien, an infant aged five years.,
Mr. Daniel Willings, of Kensallgreen, stated, that the de-
ceased was the son of la Mr. Allen, of the Edgware-road and
Kensall-green. On Wednesday last the witness saw the child
in the road at Kensall-green, near to his father's house, in
the arms of a gentleman, who was passing by on horseback,
and seeing the clothes of the child in flames, disniounted,
and wrapped his great coat about them to extinguish them.
Witness assisted in cutting the child's apparel off, which was
still burning : the deceased was dreadfully burnt about the
throat and mouth. By other evidence it appeared that the de-
ceased had got a lighted mune, and was playing with it,
d when
its clothes caught tare, on which he ran into the road. Verict—
" Accidental Death."
