DESPERATE OUTRAGE AT KINGSTON.

'lwo men, well known at tilt the metropolitan
' Police Offices, named Charles Hutchins and Robert Smart,
as conunon intortheri, lately paid a visit to Kingston and
the town* adjacent, where they have been following their
profession au secret, among the coach-proprietors and coal-
merchants, against whom they filed informations—the former
fraternity for offences under the• Coach Act, and the latter for
those under the coal laws. These wearthiei,, fearful, should their
occupation be discovered, that they would be roughly treated
by the town's people, took care in keep themselves out of com-
pany, and took a lodging at an inn in the town, where they wen'
treated as gentlemen. At length all the coachmen and coal:.
Merchants were served with summonses to answer the in formation
before a bench of Magistratei at the Seisions House ; and ae-
conlingly, on Saturday last they attended the Court, when to
theirastonisinnent they found the two anpyasedgentlancapte;.tent
in the characters of an informer and witness. The cases wero
gone into, and what with informalities and want of evidence.
most of them were quashed. The result soon spread in the.
town, and almost immediately after the Court broke up, up..
wards of 2,000 people had collected round the Sessions 130}111e,
and were provided with filth, rotten eggs, stones, and 'other
missiles, for the purpose of attacking the informers when they` Caine out. in a few minutes Hutchins made his appeararree4
under the protection of a constable, front whom the mob soon
rescued him, and pelted him. with the ammunition provided till
none of his features ivere distinguishable: In fact, he ret,.:
aerated a pillar of mucl. On getting to Cluttonbridge4
hei to' escape hiS assailants, jumped into the Thames, and
concealed himself under one,of.tho arches. Some. of the Mob' followed him, tore his clinhar from his back, end dragged. hiM two or three thrtes through the river, till he was almost
lifeless. They then dragged him ashore, completely naked,
and deprived him of Ins whiskers. At this Juncture, the
Magistrates, headed with a posse of Constables, arrived. on
the spot, and succeeded in rescuing the fellow from thei,,
further vengeance of the infuriated mob, and conveyed him; in a state of insensibility, to a surgeon's, where his wounds
were dressed and properly attended M. He was then
carried tri the house of Mr. Palmer, the magistrate in the town,
who humanely gave him some clothes to cover him, and per.;
mined him to remain till the evening when he was placed in a
post-chaise, and carried home to hie residence in the New
Dover-road, where he now lies in a very precarions state. His
companion, Smart, saw the storm comm on, and succeeded in retreating unnoticed by the mob, without any injury. We •
............__understand one or two of the ringleaders are in custody. :.-
