The military escort by which the prisoners were
guarded to-day, when they were transferred from
the City Police-court to Albert-street Station, was
of additional strength, and quite capable of coping
with any irregular force at all likely to be brought
against it. A body of dragoons preceded the van,
and au equally strong guard of those cavalry troops
followed, the rear being brought up by a detach-
ment of light infantry. The police in attendance
were all armed, and the crowd, though not so
numerous as on some former occasions, was still a

large one.
After our yesterday's parcel was despatched the
examination of the prisoners charged with the recent
outrage in the Hyde-road was proceeded with, and
several other witnesses were examined.
Mr. E. P. Ridgway identified Nugent and Ryan,
the former as having been engaged in throwing
stones, while the other was very busy about the
van. Was present during the whole affray, which
lasted exactly 17 minutes, commencing at two
minutes to four o'clock, and ceased at a quarter-
past four.
Frederick Wilson, a labourer, produced a seven-
chambered revolver, which he had found at the back
of Alderman Bennet's yard, in the Hyde-road.
Five of the chambers were loaded. He saw two
men running away from the scene of the attack on
the prison van, one of whom threw the pistol on the
ground, the other taking it up again and throwing
it into a brook.
John Thomas, a little boy, produced another
revolver, which he found about 300 yards from the
railway arch.
Elizabeth Knott stated that she saw a man leave
a hatchet in the Hyde-road, a few minutes after the

affray.
Anne Higgins stated that she found a revolver in
her cellar in Clyde-street, not far from the railway
arch.

71IE VOLUNTEERS.

This was the case for the prosecution.
Corcoran, whose identity had been spoken to only
by one witness, as having been seen by the side of
the van, was then discharged.
Mr. Fowler asked if either of the prisoners wished
to call witnesses.
Mr. Cottinghain said he would call witnesses on
behalf of Brennan, Patrick Kelly (Galway), and
Win. and John Martin.
Mr. Bennet said he should call witnesses on be-
half of Michael Kennedy, Michael Maguire, and
Thomas Ryan.
Mr. Ward said he should call witnesses for John
Nugent.
Mr. Roberts, in reply to Mr. Fowler, said he
should not call witnesses in behalf of Allen ; but he
should call witnesses in the cases of Shore, Henry
Wilson, William Gould, Thomas Maguire, Hugh
Foley, Patrick Corry, Thomas Scalley, Michael
Boylan, John Carroll, and Chas. Moorhouse.
Mr. Fowler said there ;were only two witnesses
against Foley, and he wished to ask whether Alr.
Higgin thought he could support a conviction
against him.
Mr. Higgin said he did not think he could.
Mr. Fowler consequently ordered Foley's dis-
charge.
The remainder of the prisoners were remanded

this morning.
During the evening four more arrests were made
in a vault in Dale-street, Liverpool. The names of
three are John O'Donnell Stoneman, of Manchester,
Daniel Redden, and Joseph Keeley, of Liverpool.
The fourth man was released.
This morning, at the City Police-court, before
Mr. Fowler and a full bench of magistrates, six men,
who have been in custody on remand, charged with
complicity in the Hyde-road outrage, were brought
up. The prisoners' names are Thomas Johnson,
Robert Nugent, William Murphy, Lewis Moore,
Timothy Featherstone, and Daniel Lynch.
Mr. Higgin appeared for the prosecution ; and
Mr. Cottingham, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Ward, and Mr.
Ambler for the defence.
Mr. Cotti ngh am wished, before Mr. Iliggiu opened
the case, to make an application on behalf of the
prisoners for whom he appeared; and, with the con-
currence of Mr. Roberts and Mr. Bennet, on behalf
of the prisoners for whom those gentlemen appeared.
It was statel in the public journals that no tribunal
would be organised for the trial of the prisoners
until the 27th of November, and taking this into
consideration, together with the fact that a proper
and adequate defence of the prisoners was not yet
prepared, he asked for a remand for another week
with respect to the prisoners against whom the pro-
secution was closed.
Mr. Higgin said the present case would be a very
short one.
Mr. Cottingham—Very well. Then, perhaps,
you will dispose of the case for the prosecution, and
remand the new batch for a week.
Mr. fowler—Certainly not.
Mr. Cottingham—Then I say, on behalf of those
men for whom I and Mr. Roberts and the other
legal gentlemen appear, that we are not prepared
to go into a proper defence at present ; but that we

The 12th Surrey Volunteer Rifles held their an
nual competition for prizes at their range, Kingston

a gold medal, was taken by Sergt. Macrostie with
58 points, the nearest to him being Colour-Sergeant

rary Surgeon's prize (Mr. Cock's) was won by
Private Lane, who made 26 points ; Private Seaman
was second with 25. Consolation prizes were lastly
competed for, Private Bond carrying off the first

The 2d Norwich Company bad had its annual

the first prize of £3 was won by Corporal Cogman,
the second of £2 by Corporal Love, and other prizes

taken by Private Lamb, Sergeant Benest, and Pri-

and 600 yards, and the chief prizes were awarded as
follows :—For the highest aggregate score and being
a marksman for 1867, Private B. Breeze, £5 ; for

Ringer respectively. A challenge cup given by
Ensign Jolly was won by Corporal Breeze. A
prize of £5 given by Captain Mieklethwaite for
recruits was divided amang Private Morse, Private
Bonner, Private Cullington, &c.
Several rifle shooting competitions have taken
place in Yorkshire in the course of the past week.
On Baildon-moor, in the West Riding, the 2d Ad-
ministrative Battalion of the West York Rifle Vo-
lunteers shot for prizes amounting to £4O. A con-
tinuous wind and frequent showers prevailed
throughout the day, much to the annoyance of the
shooters, and therefore the scores may be considered
under these unpleasant circumstances as tolerably
good. There were 86 competitors, a few of whom
were prevented by darkness from completing their
number of shots—viz., five at 200, 500, and 600
yards each. Lieut.-Col. Morrison, M.P., Tarn-
house, Malham, was present. The highest prizes
were won by Lieutenant Thwaites, Bradford, £lO,
with 45 points ; and by Sergeant Whitaker,
Guiseley, £7, with 40 points. The 3d fidministra-
tive Battalion of the West Riding Volunteers com-
peted for a good list of prizes at Pontefract. The
weather, as at Guiseley, was rather unfavourable,
and hence the scores were not very high. The fol-
lowing were the highest scores for Lieut.-Colonel
Holdsworth's prizes, at the distances of 200, 500,
and 600 yards :—Private F. G. Duckles, Goole, £5
and gold medal, 32 points ; Private G. Duckles,
Goole, £3, 31 points. Several other small numbers
were scored. In another competition at 150 and
300 yards, the following were the highest scores:—
Lance-Corporal Bell, Wakefield, £3, 31 points ;
Private G. Duckles, Goole, £2, 29 points ; Private
T. Whitton, Wakefield, 305., 29 points.
The Scarborough Volunteers have concluded their
contest by shooting for money prizes at 200 yards,
but in a gusty wind. The chief winners were
Privates William Colley, 12 ; John Clarke, 12 ;
and William Bland, 11. An All-corners' Enfield
rifle match has been shot at Hull. The prizes
reached an aggregate of £5O. There were 42 compe-
titors from various parts of the country, and some
