THE BRISTOL RIOTS.

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

THE KING V. PINNEY, FSQ.

This morning the proceedings in
this case were re-
slimed. The Court, and the avenues
leading to it, were
exceedingly crowded.
Mr. Samuel Self examined by Mr. Wte.ttTalAatnTil was
an ironmonger at No. 11, Union-street, Bristol, o
Saturday evening, 29th Oct., when
in Qn
the souletelie.r6squfirasrte o
alnriv ed ; heard the Riot Act read by the
Mayor about 7 o'clock-
he remained in Queen-square
about an hour afterwards, but there was no rioting then,
only
a great crowd ; Col. r
ereton was then in the Square
with the soldiers, but no Magistrate was with him after
te Riot Act was read ; the Colonel addressed the people
more than once ; did not hear the Mayor or any other
Magistrate address the people after the Riot Act was read ;
witness left the Square, and returned again in about a
quarter of an hour er twenty minutes; he then remained
until about 10 o'clock ; when he went there the second
time there was an assemblage of persons, and the sol-
diers of the 3d Dragoon Guards were there. While he
was in the Square the second time he did not see the
Mayor or any other Magistrate outside the Mansion
house. At 10 o'clock witness went home. About 3
o', lock on the following day, Sunday, witness went
to the Bridewell ; saw smoke issuing from the eastern
part of the building, and was informed the beds were
burning ; the gates which enclosed the passage in
which the Bridewell was to ere then open, but witness
noticed no marks of violence to indicate that they hat
been broken open ; there was an asaeinhlage of persons in
the passage, but not very numerous; the passage was very
narrow, and the people were very dense between the two
buildings, the Bridewell and the Governor's. house ; did
not see the people using any violence, but heard a violent
hammering, and the exclamations of persons inside the
Bridewell-yard. Witness did not stay at the Bridewell
more than two minutes, but he saw neither magistrates,
constables, or any display of civil force at all. In wit-
ness's judgment the mob he saw there might very easily
have been quelled by a civil force. A dozen constables at
each end of the passage might have taken the whole of the
persons ; most of those in the passage were women and
children ; the gates at each end of the passage might have
been shut, and have enclosed the crowd. From the Bridewell
witness went to the city gaol, where he arrived at
about a quarter past three. The gaol was then on fire,
and a great crowd of ptrsons were there. The gaol
stands upon an island.—(Plans of the gaol were handed
to the Court, the Jury, and the witness.) The gaol was
situated on the extremity of th e island, on One side of
which was the New Cut, and on the other the Float ; the
only access to the isl sod was by one of three swing bridges.
At the dock gates there was also a swing bridge. Those
swing bridges might readily have been turned so as to
prevent any persons getting on the island, and also prevent
those on the island from getting
a away. There were someship-yardson the island. Witness remained at the gaol
until nearly six o'clock. He saw the crowd use violence ;
they were taking away the bads, cooking utensils, Sae. Not
above 150 er 200 persons were employed in that plunder,
and many of them were women and boys. The other people
that were assembled were merely spectators, and amounted
to several thousands on the island alone ; there were up-
wards of 2,000 there, besides many thousands on the op-
posite side of the river. Witness was there until 6 o'clock,
during all which time he saw no Magistrate, nor was any
resistance offered to the mob iu their work of plunder.
No civil force was there at all; but sonic persuasion was
used by some persons. While at the gaol, between 4.
and 5 o'clock, he heard a cr) • " The dock gates, the toll

of them went towards the dock gates as far as the
extremity of the prison wall, and then staid for their
Fonipanions. Witness did not go to the dock gates,'
but in going home, went to the toll gates, on Princes-
street Bridge, on that side of the bridge within
the island. He saw a loan tearing down the shut-
ter of one of the toll-gate houses, and as soon as that
was done be saw a man and a buy inside. The man in-
Side broke the window out, and the man and boy ignited
a Piece of wood and put it in a burning state in the cup-
board, which set it on fire. About six or eight men then
took the gate off its hinges arid carried it away. There
Were !sot 100 persons altogether assembled near the gate,
and there were only three persons engaged in firing the
gate-house; them was no Magistrate or constable there,
at least no person acting as a constable. Those rioters
'night certainly have been quelled by a civil force. Wit-
ttlatl staid there about a quarter of an hour, and on re-
asu,iniog home he went through Wine-street, one end of
Znlall was close to the Council-house. In Wine-s•reet he
—et a mob of persons of the lowest grade, some dressed in
'mock frocks, and generally of the meanest attire ; there
;ere about 100 or more persons. They cried out

on fire. Witness was in the Square the whole night, ex-
Pt about about an hour and a half. When he first went there,

easy the mob treat the Recorder With great indignity.

The tumult continued after they had got to the Mansion-
house. Saw attempts made by the special constalsles to
repress it. Mr. Alderm in Abraham Hillhouse gave
orders in his hearing to endeavour to take the rioters
throwing stones at the windows. The constables went
out and captured one or two of the rioters. Witness
interfered with the conduct of the constables more than
once. The reason was that the prisoners, after they were
taken, were used with great severity. The constables
struck them in the ball. He went from the Mansion •
house to take off his livery about 20 minutes after four.
The inos was not then in possession of the Mansion.
house. He returned soon after sin plain clothes. The
interior part was in possession of the Magistrates. The mob
had just began to assault the outside. He was not able to get
access for a considerable time. He was stunned by a blow he
received. After he came to himself, Col. Brereton took
him into the hall. The ball was in darkness. He does not
remembt r seeing whether there were persons in the hall.
He got in by a side door. He went to seek the Magis-
trates ; the colonel and he went up to the drawing-loom,
where he had left the Magistrates.—He found none of
them. He called out as loud as lie could that the soldiers
were come. He found Mr. Sheriff Bengoff in the Re.
corder's usual sleeping-room, behind the state-bed. He
went to another bed-room and found sever :1 other Alder •
men there. He went up to another, and two or three
came out there. He afterwards went down to the draw-
ing-room. The Magistrates were there. Is not positive
that the Mayor was there. His master desired him to keep
near him and to get information of what was going on below.
Colonel Brereton was in the drawing-room. Orders were
given to the Colonel to clear the street., and send the
people home. Colonel Brereton said that the people were
getting peaceable, and that he thought they would dis-
perse in a short time. Several times the Colonel went
down to the mob. Witness went down with him—
Complaint was made to the Colonel that the orders had
not been obeyed. Orders had been given to clear the
streets, and send the people to their homes. Nothing else
was said in witness's hearing. Heard in the course of
the evening a report that a man had been shot. This was
about midnight. The mob, when they heard this, were
more riotous, and increased in numbers. This was the
time when the avenue leading to the Welch B tele was
blocked up. The wharf where the Welsh vessels lay._...
Report, d to the Mayor and Magistrates that the mob were
becoming more riotous. The violence did not continue
long. Mr. Sheriff Lax remained at the Mansion-house all
night, and witness went to inform his family in Park-
street of h-s safety. In going to Park-street witness went
over the draw-bridge to Queen-squ ire. Returned to the
Mansion-house before half-past eight o'clock. The mob
wi re th-•n conducting themselves with great violence.
Witness made an attempt to get in at the great door of the
Mansion-house, but could not gain admittance. Ran to the
Hole-in-the-Wall public-house, where he obtained a
sailors dress, went into Queen-square, where a rope
was put from a window by an individual in a smock
frock, and witness was drawn up into a corn-loft,
which led to the leads of the Mansion-house. Saw
Mr. Pinney, the Mayor, in the larder from the leads.
Believe it was called a larder ; it was near the men's water
closet. Saw the Mayor and several female servants, who
were all attempting to get up.—(Laughter.) The Mayor
said to witness, " For God's sake, young man, assist me
to get up here." With the assistance of the female ser-
vants, who pushed the Mayor up behind, witness succeeded
in getting the Mayor on the leads, who afterwards went
over th,i wall, and escaped. Witness then went
up stairs to Mr. Sheriff Blackstone, and desired bins
to come down, as he would certainly be murdered

•
if he stopped there. Through the instrumentality
of witness he escaped. Afterwards secured a good deal of
the Mayor's property, and returned to his master's house
in Park-street, and was lift in care of the house when his
master left. Witness saw the Mayor and Mr. Daniel, a
surgeon, the same evening, at 52, Park-street, the Sheriff's
house. On witness opening the door, the Mayor asked if
the Sheriff was at home. Asked the Mayor if he knew
him, to which he answered be did not; but Mr.
Daniel said he did, and the Mayor might depend upon
him not telling any person except his master, where
the Mayor was gone. He said he was going.
Witness had no doubt the military could have quelled the
riot. Heard the Magistrates give orders to Colonel
Brereton to clear the streets, and send the people home.
Heard nothing about firing on the mob. One of the persons
brought into the Mansion-house wasa soldier dressed in blue
who bled very much ; a bed was laid for him in the
banqueting room. Witness saw Colonel 13rereton shaking
hands with the mob. Every thing appeared to be quiet
between 12 and 1 o'clock, when not a person was in the
square. Several Magistrates sat up with the Mayor at the
Mansion-hou.e all night. Believed the Mayor was in
bed at the White Lion, in Broad-street, part of Sunday.
The chambermaid told witness so. On Sunday morning
the mob %vete very violent at the back of the Mansion-house,
and witness had no doubt, if the Mayor and Magistrates
had hot escaped, their lives would not have been spared.
M ajor Mack worth was not with the Mayor when he es-
cap,d, during which time all sorts of missiles were heav-
ing about his Worship's ears. Did not see anything of
the Mayor till he came to his master's, in company with
Mr. Daniel. Witness's belief was, that Mr. Fupp's
house was mentioned to him on that occasion.
Re examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL-The fault
he had been accused of by Mr. Lax after he left his ser-
vice was, kissing the parlour maid on the sofa.
By a Juror—Never had been in the service of Mr.
Pinney, or any part of his family. Was a freeman of
Bristol, having received his freedom from his master after
the riots.

Mr. George Humphrey examined by the SOLICITOR'.
GENEnaL—Was clerk to Messrs Lemon and Co. of Bris-
tol at the time of the riots. Their house was next door to
the Mansion-house, between which there is no communica-
tion except over a wall. The attention of witness was called
to cries of distress in the back kitchen. Observed the
Mayor lo eking over the tiles, who asked witness to htlp
him over. Procured a ladder, hy means of which the
Mayor got into the premises of Mr. Lemon. Toe Mayor
asked witness to show him a private way out. The
Mayor left the house of witness's employers through the
garret window, and went over the roof of the house. Saw
nothing of the Mayor again.

Before witness left the service of Mr. Lax
he stated that he thought the conduct of the Mayor and

During the Saturday the mob displayed great violence.
The Mayor and Magistrates all went with the Recorder to
the Mansion-house, and witness believed they all remained
there till they were besieged by the mob. It appeared to
witness they were in great danger of their lives. Saw
the mob repeatedly attempt to break into the Msnsion-
house before the arrival of the military. Saw wounded
persons brought there, and combustibles. Did not think it
possible to quell the riot at that time without the mili-
tary. It was then dark, and witness could not discern
how many persons were present, resent, the gas lights having
be ent off by the mob. Did not hear tie Mayor read
the Riot Act, being

Thomas Reynolds examined by Mr. Serjeant WYLDE—
Was an inhabitant of Bristol. Went down to the Man-
sion-house on the Saturday. Saw many constables there,
but there was no arrangement among them. He said to
the Mayor, that they ought to be organized in order to
stop the violence. Ho complained of the violence of the
special constables, but nothing farther was said of the
plan he proposed. This was about 7 o'clock, and about
8 o'clock the Mayor came to the head of the stair, and re-
quested that all who were not constables should retire.
While he was there he helped to clear away the mob
in the square, and met with no resistance, the mob
retiring to the streets leading out of the square. On the
Sunday morning, about halt-past 11 o'clock, he heard that
the Mayor wished the inhabitants to meet at the Coun-
cil-house. He went immediately and remained till two
o'clock ; he thought there might be 100 persons present du-
ring the time he was there. Mr. G. Hillhouse was present, and
for a considerable time he saw no one but him. It was more
than an hour before they saw any of the other Magis-
trates ; he believed they were in a private room. Aldermen
Daniels, Abraham Hillhouse, Savage and Phipps came in.
Did not see the Mayor, but; beard Lis voice in one of the
passages. Alderman Daniels said the Mayor was not there,
having retired to take some repose, at the request of the
other magistrates. Nu instructions or directions were
given to those who attended the meeting. The meeting
broke up with the understanding that they should return
again at half-past three, bringing with them as many of
their neighbours as they could. Witness remained in the

Council-house, in consequence of Mr. Serjeant Ludlow
requesting some of the gentlemen present to remain for
the protection of the Magistrates. Three gentlemen re-
mained for that purpose. Was present when Humphries,
the gaoler, came in ; it was ❑ear two o'clock. Humphries
got no directions with regard to the gaol, should it be at-
tacked. He communicated to the Magistrates that he
heard of an intended attack on that building. Went there
about half-past two o'clock, accompanied by Aldermen
Abraham Hillhouse and Savage. Rioting was going on
when they arrived. There might be from 250 to 300 persons
actively engaged in the riot while he was there. There
were about 25 persons accompanied the Aldermen, none
of them were armed, as Mr. Alderman Savage particu-
larly requested that they might not arm before they
started. The party was discerned by the mob, and they
were attacked by a shower of sticks and stones, and they
were compelled to retreat. About 7 o'clock in the even-
ing he went down to the Council House, merely to render
any assistance in his power—he saw no Magistrate there,
nor any one to give directions. Knew Mr. Alderman
George, and went out to his house, about half a mile from
the city about 3 o'clock in the morning. Did not see
him. He returned to the town and went home. I saw
no more of the riot on the Sandsv.
Cross-examined by Mr. CAMPEELL-When he went
to the Mansion House lie saw persons carrying in straw,
and was of opinion that the lives of persons inside were in
danger. Was of opinion that when the military came
they could easily have put down the riot. Did not hear
any one say they would not act without the military, nor
any say they would not act with them. There were no
soldiers at the gaol when he went there, but soon after
about 20 men arrived. He was too distant either to hear
cheering or see hands shaken. Did not think that the
party of 25 could have stopped the riot though they had
ben armed. One of the 25 was severely wounded by a
sledge hammer. The two Aldermen could have stopped
the riot had they been accompanied by the military.
By Mr. Serjeant WYLDE—NO more were requested to
remain for the protection of the magistrates than the
three. At all the meetings the feeling seemed to be in
favour of quelling the riots.
James Grouse examined by Mr. Serjeant COLERIDGE
—Was a surgeon in Bristol. On October 31, he went
to Queen-square, and saw some of the 3d and 4th dra-
goons there—there was a riot there at the time. About
9 o'clock went to the Mansion-house, and saw Mr. Ser-
jeant Ludlow. The troops were then in the square, and
about 60 constables were out and in the house. On the
Sunday morning about 1 o'clock he again went to Queen-
square ; there were then a few military present, and a
great mob who were throwing stones over the heads of the
soldiers, and breaking the barricades which had been
erected before the Mansion-house. While he was there
he saw Alderman Savage and George Hillhouse come up.
They were recognized by the mob. They went up to-
wards the Mansion-house to see what state it was in, and
on being recognized retired. There was a loud exclama-
tion from the mob, that they were going to Bride-
well to break it open, and part of the mob went in
that direction. Witness also went to the Bridewell, but
not by the same road that the mob took. When he ar-
rived there the mob had got there before him.
Lord TENTERDEN intimated that it was not necessary
to go into that part of the case ; it had already bee❑
spoken to half a dozen times.
The witness said there were about 60 or 70 men,
women, and boys, but not more than 5 or 6 were engaged.
The gates being narrow, not many could act at a time.
In witness's judgment if ten or a dozen armed men had
been there the consequences could have been prevented—
or twenty at most might have done it. From the time

the attack commenced it was an hour and a quarter or an
hour and a half before he saw it on fire. In the course
of the night he went to the Bishop's palace. It
was at eleven o'clock. The Palace was on fire.
Toe Doddington troop of Yeomanry, under Captain
Codrington, was then drawn up near the Cathedral ;
Colonel Brereton was speaking to the Captain. Witness
saw no Magistrate or peace•ofyicer with them. About
one o'clt.ck on Monday morning, witness was in Queen-
square, and then there were 300 or 400 persons en-
gaged in plundering the houses ; about a dozen or
two were engaged in firing the houses. Witness
apprised the mob that he knew a large troop of horse
was coming, and he remembered the cry being raised that
the troops were coming, and the effect of that cry was,
to cause that part of the assembly he called the mob to run
away. Witness afterwards went home ; that was between
1 and 2 o'clock. He had to pass through Barton's Alley on
his road home, and he saw 15 or 16 persons in a gin-shop,
and plundering it. Witness and three others went in and
turned the plunderers out. Witness was at Lawford's
Gate, the Gaol, and in Queen square at various times, at
none of which was any resistance offered by the civil power
to the mob.

Cross-examined by Sir JAMES SCARLETT-Saw sol-
diers at the Mansion house on the S iturday night; they
were not smoking and drinking with the mob. They
were smoking, or some of them, and seemed at their ease ;
saw one of the officers give one of the privates a cigar;
there was no actual riot at that time. Did not see Col.
Brereton during the whole of Saturday night. Never
heard Col. Brereton say the mob should not be fired on
again. When, on the Sunday, the mob said they w--re
going to the Bridewell, there were twelve or fourteen sol-
diers in Chad Ate-street and Queen-square ; they must
have heard the cry. There was only a serjeant with them.
When witness got to the Bridewell the gates of the
passage were closed. The mob forced open the
tat a with hammers and bars. It was about 10 minutes
before they forced the gates. The mob, or rather the
spectators, were increasing when Alderman Savage and
Hillhouse were recognised by the snob on the Sunday
morning, it was by hooting and hissing ; that was about
half past 12 or 1 o'clock. When the snob threw the
stones over the soldiers' heads at the Mansion-house win-
dows, the soldiers occasionally interfered and drove the
snob away. Witness went on the Sunday ; after he saw
the 14,h Light Dragoons engaged with the mob, he
went to Queen-square. He did not go into College-green
for fear he should be shot. The mob attacked the Dra-
goons, who retired. Did ❑ot see Colonel Brereton there,
but supposed lie was there. Saw the Colonel half an
hour afterwards riding up to his own lodgings. Shortly
after witness told the mob o❑ Sunday evening that the
troops were coming. Four or five of the 3d Dragoons
Caine. They had a bottle or two of wine given them by
the mob, and then the troops went away. Witness fol-
lowed the troops to the Quay, and saw two of them there
drinking with the mob.
Mr. Charles Gardner, captain of a merchant vessel,
stated that on the Saturday afternoon he went to the
Mansion-house to offer his assistance as a special constable.
It was about two o'clock. He returned home about half-
past six o'clock. While he was at the Mansion-house, he
saw Sir C. Wetherell there, and assisted him in escaping
from the Mansion-house. Witness took him to his own
house, about a quarter past six o'clock. Sir Charles left
town about ten o'clock, or probably before.
Cross-examined by Mr.CAMPRELL—Sir Charles escaped
before the soldiers came ; he certainly was in danger
of his life from the mob, and it was impracticable for him
to have remained in Bristol and held a gaol delivery.
Mr. Daniel Thomas M'Carthy, a stationer, in Bride-
well•lane, stated that his house was within a few yards of •
the Bridewell. On Sunday he went to Queen-square,
and about one o'clock toe was near the Exchange. He was
looking fur some of the Magistrates. He saw a mob
coining from Queen-square towards the Mansion-house ;
they consisted chiefly- of men and boys, and were from 60
to 100 in number.

The trial was proceeding when we went to press.
