MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Yesterday, at a quarter past three o'clo.k, the hour at
which the business of the Magistrates is usually termi-
n tted until the evening, six miserable looking m .n, dressed
as mech,nies, and whose names are— 7 h.rnas Striek-
low!, Arthur Walker, Robert Cowie, Henry Sparks
John Peck, and Michael Murphy, were brought to the
otfiee in hackney-coaches, guarded by a strong party of
police constables of the H, or Whitech q).l division. The
pri Otters were singly taken before the sitting NI !gistrates,
Messrs. ROE and DYER, and charred under an Act of Par-
liament, passed during the reign or Geo. 111., with ille-
gally asseintiling toget•.er fur the purpose of training to
the use of arias, and fur the practice of military evolutions
and exercise.

Mr. David Williamson, superintendent of the T
police, station d at Kensington, in consequence of
information given him on the prec. ding night, o ent to a
place called Glass-house-yard, in or near the Minories.
At eight o'clock he passed a house or shed in the
place mentioned, and heard the words " right face" or
"left face," he could not say which. He listened
for a few minutes, and thou4ht he heard the
words " right cheek—legit cheek." Witness see-
ing a policeman, sent him to the sta►ion-house to
ring other cainstatoles to assist witness in effecting an en•
trance to the house. At a quarter before nine (o'clock a
party of police arrived in Glass-house-yard, and witness
with them entered a sort of shed or coach-house, and
while there witness beard the words, " Right protect,
left protect." Witness and his men then proceeded up two
laddeo a, and tot into an auartment situated at.the top p
the buildmn. Upon goin4 into this ro m, witness saw
the prisoner at the bir Thomas Strickland, with five
other persona, come of whom has in their hands sticks and
wooden swords. 'Witness immediately apprehended the
whole party.
Thomas Strickland, examined by Mr. Rox—l bad no
stick or sword in my hand at the time the police took time.
The first time 1 was ever in the room was on Thursday
last ; heard of the place from a Mr. Murphy. I went
there to learn fencing. I first saw Mr. Murphy on last
Thursday week at the Philadelphian Ueiversalist Chapel,
in Windmi I-street, City-road. He spoke to me and told
me he would teach me the art of fencing fur 2s. a quarto r
and a penny a lesson. Murphy did give tne his address at
that time. I was not asked for any money in advance on
my first visit to the room, because I (lid not •t that time
take a regular lesson. I only took a little hit of a spell.
I went alone last night to Mr. Murphy's. It was Murphy
who gave thelessona. lam a member of the Philadel-
phian Union. I joined them last Sunday week. My
admission to the society was not attended with any ce•e
mony. I merely paid 4.1. and received a ticket, and I was
then considered a member.

Arthur Wacker was then placed at the bar. Mr. Wil-
liamson's evidenc.- was. 4 read over to him.

Examined by Mr. Rox.—l am an engraver, and reside
at 59, Bunhill-row. I went to the fencing-room at
eight o'clock last night.
.1 had been there be,ore, but
only once; that was on Thursday night last. I was in-
formed of the place by Strickland Ido not belong to
any Union. 1 used to go to the Philadelphian Chapel,
but I have not paid a visit to that pl.ce since Christmas
last. I t are been at Watson s house. When I went to
the 'encing-room last night, I found only Murphy, and
another man ; we each of us took a turn (a fence ) The
persons whom I have met at Murphy's used sometimes to
take lessons alone, and at other time, a numher would be
instructed together. My object in going to th• room
was merely to have a little recreation after the fatigues of
the d iy.
Robert Gtwie was next brought forward.--Examined
by Mr. ROIL—I am a cirpenter, and reside in Goodman's.
yard, M tiories. I have lived there these two years. I
was at Murphy's fencing. room last night for the first
time. He said that the lessons wore given three nights
each week. In going to the room I had no intention of
taking lessons in fencing. I went only for amusement at
single stick, but know nothing of the sword. lam not a
member of the Trades' Union. I did not pay any mon• y
last night, for 1 hid not been long in the room when
the pwice came in and " upset" us. I received my lesson
alone. I did nut march. There was no marching. We
only w. nt through the cavalry exercise.
Henry Sparki., examined by Mr. Rot —I am a car-
penter, and reside at 6, Northumberland-place, City-road.
I went to illurphy'a last night-, in company with Cowie
and Peck. I have known Murphy three or four weeks.
I met him first at a public-house—the Cock and Magpie,
in Worship-street. List Sunday fortnight I went to a
place called Vine-yard, in Little Pearl-street, City, for the
put pose of meeting a person named Bartlett.
I found him in company with Murphy and several
other persons• They were in the open court, or yard.
They had wooden swords and sticks in their hands,
and Murphy was instiucting t em in the sword
exercise. The lessons are given three times a-week, and
last about an hour and a quarter each tim•'. Ido not
know how many persons Murphy had in training. The
room would not con.ain ❑ntre than four nr five persons to
practise; but it would hold a good litany lookers on. I am
a member of the Union. The Union is formed into
classes. 1 belong to the 73d class. We me, t every Sun-
i,ay, at half-past mie o'ciock, at the Phila Aphian Chapel.
there is no religious ceremony pet fumed there. We meet
s.tinetto es to ti,e number of tw nty or thirty. Murphy is
chief of the class, and lie teaches some of them the broad
sword exere.se.

John Yr k—l am a carpenter. I went last night to
Mur,diy's room, in company with Spat ks ; I hive taken
t,ur lessons in Glass-h use-card, nd one in ird.
In Vme-ya,d I saw four or five persons training; I did
t know any of th- persons but Cowie; Mr Murphy
gave me the first intimation of the fencing ; I tithing to
tine 73,1 class of the Trades Union. I joinct] it about two
s sine-, at the suggestion of Mr. Watson ; J first
b. c actin doted with Mr. W. son at the Rotunda,
Hiackfriars.road, where I heard him attlressing a public
a dience. When Mr. Mu phy ficst spit. to me he
no place to exercise in, and tie prop.sed ti,at a room should
b • takcti at a public house. I have paid 6 t. in advance for
my 1,-ssons; the meetingsalways take pace by candle-light.
Michael Murphy, a miseranle.lo k:rig Irishman, was
next placed in the dock, awl Mr. Willtainson's evidence
having been read over.
Thomas Aleticall, No. 169, of the C division, had ac-
compaoied Mr. Williamson in the prece •ing night, and
took from the prisoner's hand the wooden sword w,w pro-
duced (here see. nil a, outlen swords, some hr oken and some
whore, were subtnitted to the insp. ctisti of lie Magi.tt Eves.)
Murphy was examined by Mr. Rox—l am a tobacco.

I was in the 18th Light Di agoutis. I took the rw.ni to
Glass-house-yard, for the pulp se of teaching the
young men who have been ex io,ined the broid-sw,•ril

.They have not taken more than three or four
lessons. I met the young men, whom I undertook to
teach, at the Philadelphian ch spel : it is not used for Yen-
-1,,,i0us purposes, but political lectures ate delivered there on
the Sunday evening. My toaster does not know that I gave
th se lessons, but I have stated it to several other person-.
Here the examini.tion terminated, and the prisoners
were then placed in the dock. Mr. evidence
being then again read over to them, Mr. DYES. said, that
it was impossible for him or his brother Magistrates to de-
fine at present how this matter might terminate, but he
and they felt convinced there were sufficient krounds to
warrant their detention for a rut titer exarnit.a..ion.

The Rt'v. 11 r. Irving preaches regularly, or
rather irregularly, once a week at No. 13, Chapel..strcet, New_
road, Paddington. When the spirit moves, he gives an extra
sermon. He is always attended by the lady endued with the
miraculous gifts of the Unknown Tongues. The tongue is a gift
to ladies by no means uncommon, and this lady uses the privi-
lege of her sex very unceremoniously. The other night her
exclamation was rather singular. After running through a
diatonic scale of groans, sighs, and nasal sounds, she at last
broke forth—" Oh, wo, woo, whoop—a teetza, a lecke:, sala.
?flung a teetza, which being interpreted, means, salamunga ko."

matical-instrument-maker, was indicted for receiving

CORONER'S INQUEST.

An inquest was held nu Tuesday at the Albion, Duke-
street, hf.incliester-square, on the body of Anne Maria
Sanderlands, aged 29, and also her son, aged three years,
who, it was as.erted, had died of cholera.
The Jury retuied a verdict of " Died by the visitation of
God."

DEATH OF MR. SANDERLANDS.
Yesterday morning, Mr. Higgs, the Coroner, and the
Jury, re-assembled at the Albiun, in Duke-street, to in.
quire into the cause of death of the child, whose body had
been examined during the morning, when the Jury were,
appalled at learning that the father had died also. He
applied at the Hospital about six o'clock in the morning,
where he was immediately admitted, and lingered till one,
when he expired. The sieht at this moment was awful
indeed ; his real wife (for it appeared that the woman
than was dead was not su) was lying in a bed opposite,
when she rose, and exclaimed, " 0.1 my husband !—my
husband ! the fa her of my seven children !" It further
appeared the deceased woman had been confined in prison
in lrel ind on a charge of murder, and was released on
turning King's evidence. The deceased S inderlands was
her keeper, and t ey came away to England together.
The ease has excited the most intense interest. Lord
Howe, his nephew, and several other persons of distinction
were present at the examination. The p irish authori-
ties intend to inter the bud es immediately.
Mr. William Ainsworth examined—l am of opinion
that the child di- d of the epidemic di•ease, " Cho-
lera;" the child's previous indisposition would predispose
it for the disease.

The Jut) con'•ulted for a cohort time, and returned their

verdict, ‘• bird by the visitation of God."
The Jury then went to view the body of Mr. Sander-
land, when the following evidenc, was adduced :—..

Willi iin Fi her the porter at t e cholera hospital, said,
the deceased 'Thomson George Sanderlands came to the
huspi al at halfspast six o'clock, and sail he was very ill ;
he complained of having the cramp.
Jane Nard Is, nurse to the hospital, said the deceased
came about six o'clock, and was immediately put to bed.
He was taken with repeated vomitings and cramps in his
legs. He said he had been with the deceased woman, and
had caught t.e disease. He was repoached by his real
w f for no h ring the female buried, and said now you
have caught your death. He r. plied, "Well I know it."
Mr. William Ainsworth, surgeon, said he was c Meal to
the deceased; found him in a great want of strength;
there was a general tremour pervading the whole body,
and passing momentarily into severe cramps ; his t ;Note
was col i, pulse scarcely perceptible ; gave him two grains of
slid opium, to he alba ..ed little or no drink, if thirsty his
lips to be wet ; the opium did not rest in the body ; two
hours aver he became inure livid, and his exaremit.es got
cold, his pulse no hmger perceptible; gore him a stimu-
lating injection, and ordered stimulantteteo bileisegi,e
given
antnd h
to him
repeatedly ; in the course of the niorn;ng the powers of
l
ixfep expired about o breemneo luesin'ae o'clock
Pe
; the
of
combating
h
cause o f his death was the
disease called cholera.

He was visitd in the morning by Professor Elliotson,
Daun, Oak, Johnston, Sigmond, Halewood, and
many other gentlemen ; there was not one that differed is
opinion with him.
Tile Jury consulted for a short time, and returned their
verdict—" That the said TLon►poon Georg.. S.aticlerlanda
came by his death by the prevailing epidemic."
