THE ATTEMPTED FENIAN AS3ASSI-
NATION IN BLOOMSBURY•

EXAMINATION OF THE ACCUSED MAN
AT BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY).
The intelligence that a man had been arrested on
suspicion of being the person who fired the pistol
at M'Donald, and that he would be at Bow-street
police-court, attracted a large attendance of the
public in Bow-street soon after nine o'clock,
in the hope of obtaining a sight of the ac-
cused as he was brought across the road
from the station of the F division of police,
to the court. The crowd, however, increased so
much towards the hour of opening the court that it
was deemed advisable to place a strong force or
constables on duty in order to prevent any disturb,•
ance arising, and by half-past 10 o'clock there
could not have been less than between 600 and 700
people assembled on either side of the street.
In addition to the police constables in uniform,
a large body of the detective force were in attend-
ance, and altogether the scene was one that plainly
showed that something of an unusual description
had transpired. At a few minutes before 12 the
prisoner was brought from the station, but beyond
the ordinary anxiety to catch a glimpse of him
nothing transpired.
The accused person is a young man of rather gen-
tlemanly appearance, about 5 feet 8 inches in height,
of fair complexion, with ♦ery light hair and slight
moustache. He was dressed in a black Oxford
coat, light trousers, and large soft felt hat.
The entrance in the police charge sheet was as
follows :—" John Grove, 29, Gilbert-street, Gros-
venor-square, clerk, charged on suspicion of shoot-
ing and wounding M'Ponnell with intent to murder
him, in Vernon-place, St. George's, Bloomsbury, on
Sept. 28, 1867. Taken into custody by Inspector
Thompson, detective force, and Inspector Garforth,
E division.

No counsel or solicitor appeared either for the
crown or for the defence.
The following evidence was then taken :
John King said—On Sunday morning, between
12 and 1, he was near Endell-street, when the pri-
soner and a tall companion were quarrelling and
fighting with some parties in charge of a van. The
prisoner whipped the owner of the van, and gave
the tall man who was with him a cane with a loaded
end. He laid about him right and left, and Buz-
zard and himself got severely injured. He was sure
the prisoner was the person who struck the driver,
and that he was in company with a tall man at the
hour mentioned.
Police-constable 143 E said he took the prisoner
into custody, when he told him he was not in fault ;
that he held a good situation in London, and that
if be was locked up he would lose it.
Prisoner (who apparently was suffering from
nervous excitement)—lt seems all made up very
nicely. I never said I held a good situation. I
said a good position.
Mr. Flower said he should remand the prisoner
on that charge also.
Henry Furber said—l reside at 12, William
street, Regent's-park, and am a musician in the 2d
Life Guards. On Friday night, after I had done
business at the Royal Amphitheatre, I went to the
Bull aud Anchor public-house, in Holborn.
Mr. Flower—What time was it when you went
there ?—About 11 p.m.
Mr. Flower—Where is the Bull and Anchor?--
At the corner of Dean-street.
Examination continued—There were some other
of our friends there, and M'Donald came over and
joined us. He is a musician and non-commissioned
officer in the Life Guards, and is engaged at
Weston's Music-hall. Another person, Hitehins,
joined us about half-past twelve, or it might
be a little later. I did not see Hitchins have any-
thing to drink, and he left the house at the same
time as we did. We went up Holborn towards
King's-street, and on getting there Hitchins said
" Let's go in and have something to drink." I did
not want anything, but as Hitchins said be had had
nothing to drink, we all went in, Ilitehins,
M'Donald, and myself. When we went in Hitchins
called for a pint of cooper, but the barmaid refused
to serve as it was too late. I said you might as
well, it wouldn't take long to drink. She said
she would ask the landlady, but in a minute
or two she returned and said we could not
have anything in the house. We then left.
We went out of the house one by one. I and
M'Donald, however, after we got out walked toge-
ther until we got to Vernon-place, Hitchins being
about two yards in advance. M'Donald said to me,
"Harry, did you hear these two gentlemen behind
us ?" I replied " No." lie said they called us
" pigs." I went to turn round, and the moment 1
did so I received a blow or a push and my hat fell
off, and immediately after that, in about a second,
I heard the report of a pistol.
Mr. Flower—Did you see the position the fire
came from ?—Yes, from the side.
Mr. Flower—Did you see the person who fired
the shot ? —Yes. He was a tall man, with a long
beard of a light colour, and wore a deer-stalker's
hat and dark coat. There was another man with
him of shorter stature.
Mr. Flower—What followed ?—I could not see
the face of the shorter man. Immediately after the
report of the pistol M'Donald ran for about 16
yards, and then he said, " Harry, lam shot." After
I heard from my friend that he was shot I ran down
a street in Southampton-row, thinking I saw
two men running. I got to the corner of
the street, and meeting a cabman I asked
him if he had seen two gentlemen running. He
said ho had seen no person, and then I turned back
to go to the assistance of my friend. 1 don't know
what became of Hutchins. The man with the
beard who fired the shot was the taller man of the
two. His companion was a short, slender man, with-
out a beard. He was about the stature of the pri-
soner, but I could not see his features.
Mr. Flower—Be particular about the appearance
of the man who fired the shot.—The beard was a
very long one, of a light description.
Mr. Flower—What happened after your com-
panion was shot, was there any blood running ?-1
did not see any ; but when he was undressed at the
hospital I was told he was shot in the right side.
Mr. Flower (to prisoner)—Have you nobody
here to defend you ; or, if not, do you wish to put
any questions to the witness?
Prisoner—l had expected some one to appear for
me, but I suppose he is not here. To-morrow I
shall be able to call a witness who will prove that I
was not near the spot at the time spoken of by the

witness.
Mr. Flower—Then you had better not at the
present time.
Inspector Thompson—l have a person in attend-
ance who will give evidence to the effect that about
a fortnight ago the prisoner was seen following a
person very much resembling the witness, and as
the person was an informer, and had been repeatedly
threatened with being shot, I thought it might be
important for you, sir, to know the fact, and to
decide whether you would like him called now.
Mr. Flower—l think we had bettor take some
more direct evidence if you have any before that is

gone into.
Inspector Thompson said—About 1 o'clock yester-
day morning I was at the police-station in Clark's-
buildings, when the prisoner was brought in charged
with violently assaulting two persons named King
and Buzzard. Buzzard was covered with blood.
Prisoner asked whether he might be admitted to
bail, and named two persons, in consequence of
which I directed he should be secured.
In consequence of the name of he gave for hs
bail ?—Yes, sir, and the dagger I now produce was
taken from his trowsers pocket.
Cross-examined—Yesterday afternoon prisoner
was seen by Corrigan, and identified as
the person who had followed him. lie
will be in . attendance on the next occa-
sion. Afterwards I saw prisoner in company with
Inspector Garforth, and I said to the prisoner I
find it necessary to ask you one question, but pause
well before you answer, as it is possible the matter
may become very serious for you : don't answer at
all if you feel so disposed. lie said, " What is it ? '
I said, "I wish to know where yuu were shortly
after one o'clock yesterday morning ?" Prisoner
replied, " I was on my way home to Gilbert-street."

I said, "Where from?" he answered' " Southampton-
row." I asked where he had been in Southampton-
row, and he replied, "At Mrs. Byrne's, while the
house closed." I then left and went home. I took
the prisoner to the University Hospital to the bed-
side of the injured man. Several persons were
standing around at the time. I asked M'Donald,
in presence of the prisoner, whether there was any
one there whom he saw the night he was shot.
He looked at the prisoner up and down, and after
nodding at him said, " That man is like him in
the face, but I think he was bigger than him." I
then removed the prisoner to the station. 'afterwards
went to his lodgings in Gilbert-street, Oxford-
street, accompanied by Inspector Garforth. I asked
to be shown his al artment, and I was shown into a
room said to be occupied by John Groves. A num•
ber of papers were found there by Inspector Gar-
forth connecting the prisoner with Fenianism.
Mr. Flower—Have you the papers here ?—Yes.
Inspector Garforth will produce them.
Examined—ln a drawer I found the revolver I
now produce. It is new, but it might have been
tried once or twice. It was loaded with ball, and
each of the five nipples capped. The ball with
which M'llonald was shot fits the chamber.

Has the ball been recovered, then ?—Yea, and
Superintendent Searle produces it.
The bullet you say fits the pistol, and that's all ?
—Yes, sir.
The bullet was then handed to the magistrate.
Cross-examined—When the prisoner was charged
with shooting M'Donald with intent to murder, he
replied, You've made a mistake." He seemed
greatly excited, and trembled from head to foot.
Superintendent Searle, of the E division—lf that
evidence will justify a remand, I will ask you, sir,
to grant it.

Mr. Flower--I was about to remark that the
evidence just given would be quite sufficient for a
remand, and I propose to stop the case at this point.
The prisoner would then be prepared with legal
assistance.

Oa the evidence of Inspector Thompson being
read over,
The prisoner said—l don't think I said I remained at
Mrs. Byrne's until the house was closed. He cross-
questioned me so, and I had had no sleep before.

The prisoner was then remanded for aweek.

Prisoner-1. will swear before God that I never
firied a revolver in London in my life. I never
saw the injured man before I saw him in the hospi-
tal, or either of the persons who appear here before
the present charge was laid against me.
Superintendent Searle said there was now another
charge against the prisoner, which led to his arrest
on the above charge, which he wished should now
be proceeded with.
Buzzard said he was a bedstead maker, and tha
between twelve and one on Sunday morning he was
going home, and saw a van stop at the end of
Broad-street, St. Giles, and there appeared to be an
altercation between the prisoner and his companion
and the driver of the van. Ultimately the prisoner's
companion took hold of the horse's head, and others
took the whip and beat the driver in the van. The
prisoner took the whip out of his tall compa-
nion's hand,-and whipped the man who was driver
of the van. He then saw King being knocked
down, and then he made a remark about this
illusage to King when the prisoner struck him a
violent blow on the head with a loaded stick, and
on his going in the direction of a constable he saw
approaching the tall man, the companion of the
prisoner, who gave him another violent blow which
felled him to the ground.
Had there been any attack on the prisoner 7—No,
none whatever.

Prisoner—The witness made a rush at me, and I
let him have it twice on the head. I don't deny
striking the man. He was fighting as well as the
rest, and shall be prepared with witnesses on a
future occasion.

Patrick Cunningham was then charged with
being found in possession of a revolver.
James Reardon said he was a grocer in Church-
lane, St. Giles. On Saturday night or Sunday morn-
ing he heard the report of a pistol and a crash of
something coming through the window. A
female was at the spot at the time, when
sho called out—" Oh, my goodness, I'm stunned.
did'nt you see something strike me there? She said
she was hurt. Ile went out to see if anything Was
going on but found all quiet. He saw a hole in the
shutter through which the bullet passed.
This case was proceeding when wo went to press.
Naval and Military Intelligence.

A course of experimental trials is being carried
out at Chatham dockyard, under the direction of
the officials connected with that establishment, for
the purpose of testing the quality of the armour
plates sent in to that establishment by means of
galvanism, on a new principle, the invention of Mr.
Saxby. The Admiralty have directed the trials to
be made on the recommendation of Professor Airey,
the Astronomer Royal.
Her Majesty's Indian troopship Crocodile, with
the 2d Battalion 60th Rifles, and detachments for
Calcutta, arrived at Alexandria on Sept. 27, having
made the passage in l 2i days from Queenstown.
The general court martial which assembled at the
Royal Marine Barracks, at the end of August, for
the trial of Lieut. R. D. D. Jervois, belonging to
that division of light infantry, Col. Penrose, C. 8.,
president, was dissolved on Saturday last, when the
finding and sentence of the court were promulgated
to the division. The prisoner was accused of riding
recklessly, and in a state of intoxication, across the
Royal Artillery barrack field, for which he was
placed under arrest, on parole, in his own quarters.
This he failed to observe, and having again been
arrested, he was confined as before, with the sur-
veillance of an officer and sentry. The accusation,
therefore, became twofold. He was fully and hon-
ourably acquitted of the first portion of the charge,
and was found guilty of the second, on which he was
sentenced to be cashiered. On account of his youth
and inexperience, which were alleged as mitigating
circumstances, the court earnestly recommended the
prisoner to mercy. On their recommendation her
Majesty was pleased to remit the sentence and
restore Lieut. Jervois to his former position in the
service, but with the loss of one year's seniority.
The court, therefore, in addressing the prisoner,
congratulated him on having been favoured with the
Queen'sclemency, and returned him his sword.

A number of the non-commissioned officers and
men of the Royal Engineers serving with the depot
and other companies at head-quarters, Chatham,
have volunteered for special service in India with
the new depot companies of Royal Engineers about
to be formed in each of the three Presidencies.
The Royal Engineers selected for this service will
go through a course of instruction in the several
departments of military engineering at head-quar-
ters, Brompton, during the approaching winter, and
will proceed to India early in the ensuing year.
The skeleton companies to serve as depots for the
detachments of Royal Engineers proceeding from
England to India will be stationed at Calcutta,
Madras, and Bombay, the arrangements which are
now being carried out contemplating a permanent
orce of about 1,000 men of all ranks of the Roya
Engineers, to be stationed at the several depots.
The following appointments were made on Satur-
day at the Admiralty :—Staff-Commander W. H.

In the general Discount Market the plethora of
capital still continues, although the preparations for
the engagements maturing on the 4th proximo hare
caused some slight increase in the demand. The

time. At Manchester a further decline has been
established in the value of cloths and yarns, while in
the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and
Nottingham there has been little change of import-
ance. The hardware districts of Birmingham, Shef.

HER MAJESTY.

BALMORAL, Sept. 28.

The Queen, acccmpanie i by Princess Louise, and
attended by Lady Churchill and Major General Sir
Thomas Biddulph, returned yesterday afternoon
from Glenfiddich-lodge.
Prince and Princess Christian and Prince Arthur
went out driving.
