EXAMINATION AT BOW•STREET.
The numerous bodies of Chartists apprehended in London
on Wednesday evening last by the metropolitan police were
brought up for examination at the police-court in Bow-
street yesterday morning (Friday), at eleven o'clock.
Mr. Hall was the presiding magistrate, the ordinary
charges, summonses, &c., being disposed of by Mr. Henry
in an adjoining room.
The court continued very crowded throughout the pro-
ceedings, which occupied the whole of the day. A strong
force of police, armed with cutlasses, were on duty in and
about the precincts of the court; but no desire to attempt a
disturbance was anywhere manifested.
Mr. Clarkson attended to conduct the prosecution, and the
prisoners were defended, apparently without their knowledge,
by Mr. Macnamara, a solicitor in Lincoln's Inn-fields, who
complained to the Court, once or twice, of his having been
denied access to his clients at the police-station unless in the
presence of an insepctor.
The first eleven placed at the:bar were Joseph Ritchie,
Alfred Abel, William Gurney, John Sheppard, James
Snowball, James Richardson, George Greensledge, Henry
Small, Edward Scudding, William Byrne, and Philip Mar-
tin. They were chiefly journeymen shoemakers or brick-
layers, and, with one or two exceptions, seemed little dis-
posed to treat the matter with that levity which marked the
conduct of the prisoners in the earlier stages of the late
Chartist prosecutions.
Mr. Clarkson opened the proceedings by briefly detailing
the leading particulars of the disclosures of Wednesday
evening, from which it was impossible to doubt that an in-
surrection in London was seriously contemplated, and that
measures fraught with danger to the public peace and private
property were in active preparation. It was intended, by
force of arms, to violate the laws of this country and set the
Government at defiance; and, however absurd such a thing
might seem, it was clear from the words, deeds, and
designs of these men that a general rise in hostility to the
constituted authorities had been determined upon. Hap-
pily, however, for the respectable portion of society, just in
proportion to the baseness and wickedness of a cause were
its objects the more likely to be frustrated by the act of one
or more of the men themselves, who may have combined for
its promotion. That was a protection which the public
might always calculate upon, and nearly always possessed
*hick
such times and under such circumstances as those to
*hich the present proceedings had relation.
The Learned Counsel then examined the following wit-
nesses :
Nicholas Pearce, superintendent of the F division—On
Wednesday evening last, about six o'clock, I went to the
Orange Tree public-house, Orange-street, Red Lion-square,
accompanied by a number of of and found the whole of
the prisoners there in a room on the first floor front. We
took them all into custody, and found under the chairs and
benches which they had been occupying a nuiaber of com-
bustible balls covered with tow saturated with turpentine.
I took two large clasp-knives from Ritchie, whose hat and
clothes smelt strongly of turpentine. lie refused to give his
address, but afterwards, told me, at the station-house, that
ho had only recently returned from France.
Cross-examined—The door of the room was not locked.
We had no difficulty in getting in. The men were in con-
versation with each other.
Sergeant Thompson of the F division, who accompanied
the last witness, picked up a paper in the room purporting
to be a certificate of the appointment of Greensledge and
Byrne as Chartist delegates of the " Thomas Paine" branch.
Having afterwards learned where Ritchie lived, witness went
to the hoarse, No. 2, Cross-court, Russell-court, Drury-lane,
and found in the kitchen, occupied by him, 117 ball-car-
tridges, four bullet-moulds, four loose bullets, three combus-
tible balls (covered with pitch, and having a fusee running
into the centre of them), some powder-horns and a quart
bottle, all containing powder, a bayonet, a ladle for melting
lead, fifty percussion caps, a quantity of small shot, several
pieces of lead, two pamphlets on the Charter, and other
papers.
Police-cotistable F 136 proved that Ritchie had lived in
the kitchen in question, which was formerly occupied by
himself (witness).
Constable 18 G, on searching the lodgings of the prisoner
Scudding, at No. 31, Cock-lane, Smithfield, found in his box
a card of the "London Life Protection Society," upon which
the name of the prisoner was written, as being entitled to
" one musket."
Thirteen other prisoners were now placed at the bar, as the
remainder of the evidence chiefly affected them, although
involving several of the party found at the Orange-tree pub-
lic-house.
They were--Charles Taylor, George Cox, William Poole,
Charles Wicks, Thomas Herbert, Thomas lons, James Brow-
ton, Hugh Conway, Alexander Hardy, Samuel Hardy, James
John Norton, William Winspere, and Samuel Morgan. They
were of much the same class as the first lot of prisoners,
although, upon the whole, an inferior body of men.
Superintendent Rutt, of the L division said, that upon in-
formation he proceeded with a body of men on the same
evening (Wednesday) to the Angel public-house, in Webber-
street, Blackfriars-road. They found the whole of the pri-
soners (with one who managed to escape in the confusion)
in a back room—the tap. Witness had a cutlass in one hand,
and a loaded pistol in the other, and threatened to shoot or
cut down any one who offered resistance. The officers then
began to search the prisoners, while witness kept strict watch
on their movements, especially as he had seen weapons in
the breasts of one or two of the party. All the weapons
produced were found in their possession .
Cross-examiaed—No resistance on the part of the pri-
soners was attempted. He saw that Conway had pike
under his waistcoat.
Constable L 124 searched George Cox, and found his
membership card, and another, both produced.
Constable L2l searched Winspere, who had his body en-
cased in the shield-plate produced (apparently part of a
coal-skuttle), wearing it under his clothing, and tightly
strapped round him. Witness also took the pike-head pro-
duced from the same prisoner.
Constable L 6 searched Thomas Herbert. Nothing par-
ticular was found upon him, but he took 75 ball-cartridges,
wrapped in a handkerchief, from under the seas where he
was sitting, between lons and Winspere.
Constable L 112 searched James Browton, and found the
sword produced between his shirt and trousers, and a dagger
in his left-hand pocket. The guard to the handle of the
sword was in his hat. A small screw-wrench was taken from
his jacket pocket.
Constable L 106 searched Hugh Conway, and found upon
him two large pike-heads, which had been concealed under
his coat. He also found upon him some Chartist cards, and
a special constable's warrant, which had been originally
made out in the name of William Sparks, but the name had
been erased, and that of " Hugh Conway " inserted there
instead.
Inspector Rogers, of the L division, searched the lodgings
in which Samuel Morgan lived, in Bond-street, Borough-
road. He found there an old sword, a loadel cudgel, two
Chartist cards, and an order of the South London Life Pro-
tection Society, entitling the holder to " one pike ;" also a
pamphlet on the Charter.
Inspector Arnold found a sword at the house occupied by
Poole, in Northampton-place, East-lane. It hung from the
will of a room in which his children were sleeping on the
floor.
Constable L 184 searched Samuel Morgan, finding a pike-
head in his coat-pocket, and 15 ball-cartridges in a piece of
rag
In.
•
spector Carter took a sword from the urinal adjoining
the room, having previously seen it placed there by one of
the prisoners.
Thomas Powell examined—.l am a carpenter, and live at
23, Gloucester-row, Gloucester-street, Hoxton. I have been
a member of the Chartist Association, and was elected a
delegate of the Cripplegate district branch, which held its
meetings at Mr. Cartwright's, in Cripplegate. I continued
to attend the meetings after my election. On Tuesday
evening last I went to the Lord Denman beer-shop, in Web-
ber-street, to a meeting of delegates, of whom there were
about forty present. Tke prisoner Ritchie was one of them.
Gurney was also present; but I do not identify any of the
other prisoners at the bar as being there also. It was pro-
posed at this meeting by one of the speakers that a deputa-
tion should retire to a neighbouring coffee-house in the same
street, to consult together and come to certain decisions, and
afterwards to communicate the result to the meeting. This
speaker said he had just arrived from the north, after taking
a tour round to the principal towns. He told us that he
had been watched by a policeman for the last four hours.
He had been told so by a boy, as he was leaving his house.
He said that the people of Manchester and Liverpool, and (I
think) of Birmingham, were up and doing, or would be
doing, that very night. About five of the delegates then re-
tired, and returned again in three-quarters of an hour, but
the speaker alluded to did not come back with them. A than
then stood up and acted as chairman. His name was Mul-
lins. Ritchie and Gurney were still present. The chairman
said, " Gentlemen, you are all aware that the sub-committee
having retired,jand come to certain resolutions and decisions,
have appointed me to give you certain instructions, which
they have agreed upon. You all understand very well what
we have met here for. Now, gentlemen, I have one ques-
tion to ask you; and you understand there is to be no
flinching—you must speak out honestly and boldly whe-
ther you mean to come forward as men or not. To-
morrow night the blow must be struck. I wish to put this
question plainly to you—whether you intend and are pre-
pared to come out, every one of you, to a man?" Here
some one remarked that there was no time to lots, and he
had better put it round the room " Yes" or " No," whether
they would come out or not; upon which the chairman did
put it to the delegates, each separately, including my.
self. He asked the person next to me first, and he said
" Yes." Then he asked me, and I said " Yes," also.—(A. laugh.) And the same question was put to every one pre-
sent. here were only two who said " No." Ritchie and
Gurney both gave their assent. The chairman then gave
directions that on Wednesday night, at eight o'clock, every
delegate was to assemble the members of his locality, at their
place of meeting, all armed and ready. Some one
arms without
de-
legates asked how they were to come with their arms without
being detected. The chairman said, " Come in the best way
you can." Some delegates inquired how was it possible to
conceal their pikes? The chairman said, the further direc-
tions I have to give to you are these—" We shall take up four
Positions." One of the delegates, Mr. Brewster, was to head
the body at Clerkenwell.green ; another, Mr. Payne, was to
take the Tower Hamlets; and Mr. Mullins and Mr. Bassett
_were to take the Broadway, Westminster, and the Seven
'Dials districts.
. The Learned Counsel here applied for warrants for the ap-
Prehension of the four leaders mentioned by the witness.
Examination continued—The chairman said, that every
man would be expected to be at his post at twenty minutes
past nine o'clock to a second. Arrangements were then made,
In pursuant of a previous understanding, as to what should
theirbe don
l eade by the different assemblages, under the command of
the different
delegate present was to bring four men,
thing and eve
good and true, Upon
g, whom they could rely, for doing any-
,1 rYtilm and Ritchie was appointed the super-
meet at the Ointendent of that b
range ":ody It was proposed that they should
I'ree public-house, precisely at five
o'clock, on Wednesday aefterrzon. It was understood that
they were to fire house
remises, or anything.
Ritchie was present at the OranwgaeyTrPee at a previous meet-
ins when this course was deceidveendinupon and the directions
Ritchie was ap-
given out. On the Tuesday
pointed leader of the band of men togi)eselect
ascd.by the dele-
n (rein each
gates, some one went round the room to
person present the number of firm men he courdttinsure and the
number of forty-five was promised. Brewster said that the
guumakers' shops must be seized if they could not get the
requisite supply of arms elsewhere. This was said an reply
to a question put to him by one of the delegates. Brewster
is called a warden, and, according to the Chartist or
Von, each warden has the command of 100 men in f,rr-
trict. I was asked how many men I would bring to folios; Ritchie, and I replied that I was sure of one, and would five
two. Gurney said to me, " Oh, nonsense, you can get
or six if you like. I can, and shall." Gurney was not v
district representative, but he told me that he attended at
the Orange Tree, not for the purpose of acting himself, but
to show the confidential man whom he had secured what
course to take under Ritchie's directions. He told me this
at the police station, where I was admitted to see him after
he was in custody. 'At ithe meeting on Tuesday another of
the Prisoners, Poole, produced some tri-colour wristbands,
similar to the one produced (found on one of the other pri-
Solaro). These were distributed among the delegates only,

so that the men under arms might recognise their leaders.—
(One of the " cards" was here shown to this witness.) This
is the card given by a society which held its meetings in
Hatton-garden, and which distributed pikes, muskets, &c.,
to all who had received such cards from the society. The
prisoner Martin was the first man who ever showed me one
of these cards.
Cross-examined—My name is Powell, but I have some-
times assumed the name of Johnson, became I did not wish
my relatives to know that I was mixed up with such things.
I entered the Chartist Association for the purpose of learn-
ing what was the nature of its proceedings, and communica-
ting them to the police if I saw occasion to do so. I thought
that something would happen injurious to the peace and
state of the country, and I was resolved to get what know-
ledge I could of the intentions of these men, for the purpose
of defeating those intentions if possible. Soon after joining
them, I found that I was among men who would do anything
and everything. I gave Gurney some powder once, per-
haps about half a pound; I never gave him any bullets. I
have never been employed by any one to get information. I
told what I knew of my own free-will.
This being the case for the prosecution, as far as it was in-
tended to cart' it at present,
Mr. Clarkson said he had now to request the whole of
the prisoners might be remanded for a fortnight. It would
be impossible to complete the indictments for the coming
sessions at the Old Bailey, which commenced on Monday,
and, even if practicable, would not be just even to the
prisoners, who would not then have time to prepare their
defence.

Mr. Macnamara did not object to the proposal for a remand,
but he submitted that with respect to several of the pri-
soners at the bar, there had not been a syllable of evidence
adduced against him. He was instructed that they hap-
pened to go into the public-house by mere chance for a pint
of ale or something of the kind; for it should be remem-
bered that, although the prisoners stood charged with a trea-
sonable conspiracy, they had assembled in a public-house
with open doors.
The two brothers, Hardy, lons, Norton, and one or two
others, here assured the Court that they were not parties to
the proceedings at the Angel tap, having only entered for
refreshment a few minutes before the arrival or the police,
which quite took them by surprise. They did not say, how-
ever, that they were not Chartists.
Mr. HALL was bound, upon the present evidence, to regard
all the parties present at these meetings as implicated, in a
greater or lesser degree, perhaps, in the avowed design of the
party, which was no other than to attempt an in-
surrection in London. The possession of so many
deadly weapons proved the desperate character of these assem-
blages, and he should have no hesitation in remanding all
the prisoners till Thursday, the 31st instant, fully agreeing
with .he Learned Counsel for the prosecution, and the soli-
citor for the prisoners, that the evidence could not be com-
pleted or the defence prepared in time for the forthcoming
sessions at the Old Bailey.
Mr. Macnamara inquired if bail would be permitted ?
Mr. HALL could on no account admit the prisoners to bail.
The present aspect of the charges against them led to the
conviction that they would probably be committed for the
very serious offence of high treason.
the prisoners were then removed.
Thomas Jones and Frederick stone were then charged
with being found with fire-arms in their possession on the
same night.
Inspector Haynes, of the A division, deposed to having
found the prisoners in conversation together at the Chartist
club-room of the Charterhouse coffee-shop, Strutton-ground,
Westminster, a place kept by a delegate named Lacey, and
notorious as being the resort of the Chartists belonging to
the " Wallace brigade branch" of the society. Witness took
possession of a book containing a list of the Chartist mem-
bers of the branch, some papers and placards. Jones was
searched by two officers (Kendal and Walker) in the pre-
sence of witness, who saw a pistol (primed and loaded with
bullet), 70 ball-cartridges, some canisters containing powder,
a bayonet, &c., taken from his pockets. Other weapons and
ammunition were found at his lodgings.
Jones admitted the truth of these statements, but wished
to exonerate the other prisoner, who had nothing to do with
him.
Haynes said that nothing was found on Stone, but he had
reason to suspect that he would be implicated hereafter. The
names of both the prisoners were in the book produced, as
members of the Wallace branch of the association.
Mr. HALL was obliged to keep in mind the statements
made by the witnesses in the preceding eases when enter-
taining such a charge as this. Here was a man found with
such weapons about him on a day which had been fixed for
the disturbance of the public peace, and under circumstances
which compelled him to order his detention, with the other
prisoners, for a fortnight. There was less evidence to affect
Stone, who might be admitted to bail.
William Swinbourne and Charles Young were next placed
at the bar, on a similar charge.
Inspector Russell, of the A division, found the prisoners I
together on the night in question (Wednesday), at the Blue
Anchor-yard, in Westminster. Witness and another officer
went into Swinbourne's house, and after searching his rooms
and the outhouses, found a great number and variety of pikes,
pike-heads, daggers, fire-arms, bullets, combustible balls, &c.
When their arrival was suspected there was a bustling noise
in some parts of the house, caused by the removal or con-
cealment of the weapons • while Swinbourne, hastening into
his shop, commenced working at his trade as a shoemaker.
The prisoner said the yard was open to at least 200 people,
and of course he was not responsible for what might be
found there. As to the other prisoner, he assured the Court
that he was merely a lodger in the house, having been there
only a few weeks.

Sir. HALL remanded Swinbourne till the 31st, but dis-
charged Young, against whom nothing appeared in evidence.
A youth, named Thomas Elliott, was charged with having
bullets in his possession, also on the Wednesday, but, after
one or two questions had been put to the constable who ap-
prehended him, the prosecution was withdrawn.
William Argua, an " Irish felon," was charged by con-
stable F 1 with walking the streets in the midnight of Wed-
nesday with a gun in his possession, which he had concealed
under his coat, and described as an " umbrella" when ac-
costed by the police.
It appeared from a card found in his possession that he was
an enrolled member of the " Irish Felon Society," in London.
Thai last words of Mitchel were printed as a motto on the
card.

He was remanded for a fortnight.
William Lacey and Thomas Fay. the former of whom has
been referred to as connected with the Charterhouse coffee-
shop, were charged with having attended the meetings of de-
legates.

1 Their identity was established by the evidence of Powell,
and ,they did not deny that they were delegates, but Fay,
who seemed a poor simple fellow, assured the Court that al-
though he had gone into the country as a " delegate," he
never knew the object of the mitsion, or what particular du-
ties were imposed upon a gentleman elected to that office of
distinction. He returned again without having done or said
anything to anybody.
There being no other case for the present, the Court
was then relieved of a somewhat laborious duty. The
number of Chartists remanded is thirty, and two have been
discharged.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
SEDITITON.—John James Baer was brought before the
Lord Mayor, in the custody of Daniel May, City policeman,
No. 357, upon a charge of misdemeanour.
Mr. Hayward, from the office of the solicitor to the Trea-
sury, attended for the prosecutio.n.
Mr. James White, short-hancl writer, said on the evening
of Friday, the 28th July last, I attended a meeting at the
theatre in Milton-street, in tb.e City. I got there about a
quarter to eight o'clock. There were not many persons as-
sembled when I first went, but the number was augmented
to about 500 or 600, and increesed from that in the course of
the evening to about 1,000 I should think. The witness
then read his notes of the speech made on the occasion by
the defendant, who proclaimed himself a hawker of fish, and
indulged in ignorant and disgusting inflammatory declama-
tion used upon such occasions.
The man was committed for trial.
TO THE' EDITOR OF THE SUN.

" Vincit omn:ta, veritas."

have read with astonishment in your paper of
yesterday an extract from a Mr. Sydney's work,
beaded
"George Stephenson, the author of the Railway System,"
alleging that to the late Mr. Stephenson we are indebted fin.
the establishment of railways:. Perhaps Mr. Sydney will
favour the public with some information as to what consti-
tutes Mr. Stephenson's claim. I have seen a copy of the
first edition of Thomas Gray's 'work, published in 1820; I
have also in my possession a copy of the fifth edition of
Gray's work, published in 1825, which I think clearly shows
Gray to be the originator of public railways. Mr. Sydney
having made a statement derog: story to Gray's claim, I shall
be glad if he will inform the pi iblic of the grounds for his
allegation. If he declines doing so, I charge him with pan-
dering to popularity to the Fe ejudiee of the unrewarded
reputation of Thomas Gray.
George Stephenson was undon btedly a first-rate mechanic
—but Thomas Gray is the ant nor of the railway system.
Let Mr. Sydney disprove this: if he can.—l am, Sir, your
.
very obedient servant, JB.
