EXCHEQUER.-THIS DAY).
(Sittings in Error).
IN THE CASE OF THE BARON DE BODE.

Mr. M. D. HILL applied to have this case placed at
the top of the paper, with a view to its being decided on
an early day. The Crown had interposed every obstacle
in the way of a decision, and by its recent proceedings
got the cause placed at the bottom of the paper. He
trusted that the Court would in this instance depart from
its usual rule, and give the applicant the opportunity of
an early bearing.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that such a course
would be most unfair to those having causes on the
paper, and the Court could see nothing in the circum-
stances to warrant their departure from the usual rule.
The application must therefore be refused.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.

NEW COURiI.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT and Mr. Alderman

GIBBs.)
THE CHARTIST RIOTS IN BISHOP BONNER'S

FIELDS.
George Couling, Dennis Callaghan, Thomas Jones,
Henry Illman, lI illiam Moston, Henry Whitehead, George
Blackburn, John Kingston, Thomas Hayes, and Charles
Bailey, were indicted for unlawfully with others
riotously assembling together to disturb the peace, and
assaulting divers constables and police in the execution
of their duty in Bouner's-fields on Sunday, the 4th June.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clarke appeared for the prosecu-
tion; and Mr. Ballantine, Mr. Payne, and Mr. Parry
appeared for several of the prisoners.
Mr. BODKIN having addressed the jury for the pro-
secution, and detailed the occurrences that took place,
which must be fresh in the recollection of our readers,
called

Inspector Shackell, who stated that he was in Bon-
ner's-tields on Sunday, the 4th of the present month.
The prisoners at the bar were present on the occasion,
and assisted in pelting and ill-using the police when they
broke up the meeting. Witness was very much hurt
himself. He saw the prisoners throw stones at the win-
dows of the church, of which about 35 or 36 panes were
broken. Two meetings took place on the Sunday, at
which several thousand persons were present. There
were about 60 police stationed in the church, who were
called out when the windows of the church were pelted
and broken ; they were then under the direction of In-
spector Waller. Witness could speak positively to see-
ing Bailey and Callaghan throwing stones at the church,
and the other prisoners were among the mob.

Inspector Waller was at the meeting on Sunday, the
4th of June, and had charge of the police on the occa-
sion. As witness was returning from the church cries
were raised of " There goes the K. inspector ; down with
him." Witness was then attacked, stones thrown at
him, which hurt him in several parts of the body, but not
seriously. He succeeded in getting into the church, and
immediately he heard the windows crash. Upon an in-
timation from Inspector Shackell, witness came out of
the church with 41 policemen who had no other arms but
their staves. Witness requested the mob to disperse,
and upon his doing so another volley of stones were
thrown at them: one sergeant and seven men were
wounded ; there were several:cut in the head. Witness
then directed the men to disperse the mob ; they at
tempted to do so and were resisted by the mob most ob-
stinately, but ultimately the police succeeded. The
police were again attacked by the mob before the City
of Paris public house ; stones were thrown, but the po-
lice succeeded, after a good deal of trouble, in dispersing
them.

Cross-examined by Mr. PARRY—The police were in
the church during the afternoon service. A portion of
them marched into the church while the service was
being performed. The police had nothing to drink, or
any refreshment whatever. Saw none of the police
drinking in the City of Paris public-house. The mounted
police came up afterwards with cavalry swords. Could
not say whether they were drawn or not. Could not tell
how many police were at Bonner's Fields on Sunday the
4th of June. Did not see the mounted police riding
about the field with their drawn cutlasses.

Wm. Charles Potter, one of the police of the K divi.
sion, saw the prisoner Couling take stones and throw al
the windows of the church.

David Kilgour, another policeman of the K
corroborated the statemen of Inspector Waller. Witness
was struck by the prisoner Illman with a bar of iron. He
took him into custody with the assistance of a special
constable.
Cross-examined by Mr. PAYNE—Witness struck
Illman on the hack with his staff after ho had struck
him.
Francis Loader; another policeman, corroborated the
evidence of Kileour.
Cross-examined by Mr. PAYNE—Believed there were
many persons who had their heads broke and otherwise
hurt. If Illman was struck before he struck Kilgour
witness did not see it. Witness saw Illman's head bleed-
ing, but that was after Kilgour had been struck.
Cross-examined by Mr. PARRY—CouId not tell how
many heads, legs, or arms were broken by the police on
Sunday the 4th of June. Did not know whether the
London Hospital was crowded with pati‘nts in conse-
quence of wounds from the police. Saw the mounted
police riding round the field with their drawn cutlasses,
and the mob flying before them. When the police got to
the City of Paris public-house they saw several persons
sitting outside the house drinking, and they drove them
all away.
Frederick Shaw, another policeman of the K division,
identified the prisoner Whitehead as one of the persons
who threw stones at the police, and took him into cus-
tody.
Cross-examined by Mr. BALLA.NTINE—Witness went
to Bishop Bonner s. fields by order of Inspector Shac-
kell in plain clothes, in order to see what s going on.
Witness was not aware that Whitehead was hurt when
he took him into custody ; he had either his hat or cap
on at the time. If his head was cut open, it must have
been done before witness saw him throw stones.
