DISTURBANCE Al CREMORNE

GARDENS.

Mr. King Harman, as described on the warrant
on which he was taken into custody, otherwise Mr.
Edward Wilkinson, No. 19, Duke-street, St. James's,
the name given by the prisoner at the Westminster
police station, was charged before Mr. Arnold with
being riotous and disorderly at Cremorne Gardens.
A solicitor attended for the prisoner.
Mr. E. Moore Adams, secretary at the gardens,
said that about one; o'clock on Thursday morning,
his attention was called to a disturbance at the cir-
cular bar. He went there and found several per-
sons collected, among whom was the prisoner.
They were causing a great disturbance, and pre-
venting persons having refreshment. He endea-
voured to induce them to be quiet, and while exert-
ing himself to do so, the prisoner gave him a vio-
lent blow with his clenched fist, on the back of his
neck. Complainant then called for assistance, as
he became sick and felt unwell.
Mr. Arnold—To what do you attribute feeling
unwell ?
Complainant—To the blow I received. I still
feel the effects of it. _ _ _

Complainant, in continuation, said that policeman
Potter, V 174, came to his assistance, and took hold
of the prisoner. His friends called out for a rescue.
The constable was then surrounded, and the prisoner
was taken from him. A rush was then made to the
coffee-room door, which was forced open. All of
them rushed into it, and the prisoner:proceeded to
the window, which he opened, when he removed
the bars and got out. He was soon laid hold of by
Potter, who was assisted by another constable. A
cry was immediately raised of " Rescue," when the
prisoner was forced away from the police. This
occurred several times, and at last the prisoner got
away. On Friday night he, however, came again,
when he was served with the warrant by Potter,
who took him to the station house.
Complainant added, that while the disturbance
was going on the person describing himself as the
prisoner's solicitor was in the gardens.
Mr. Arnold—Do you know the prisoner ?
Complainant—Since he has been in custody I
have recognised him as the person who took an
active part in the disturbances which occurred two
years ago on the Derby-day.
Potter said that there were from forty to sixty
persons joining the prisoner. This was the only
part of the gardens in which there was a distur-
bance, and there were at least 16,000 persons in
them. Several glasses were broken at the circular
bar. The company in it could not be served, and
he had his hat knocked over his eyes.
The prisoner denied having struck the com-
plainant.
Mr. Adams said he had a witness who saw the
blow, but he was not present.
Mr. Arnold said that it was not so much the
assault that was to be complained of, but his
(prisoner's) conduct, which was most disgraceful,
and he should remand him.
The Solicitor asked to put in bail.
Mr. Arnold—Certainly not. He is remanded to
Wednesday next.
In the course of the afternoon Lord Worsley,
M.P., applied to the magistrate to be allowed to
put in bail. His application was refused.
