LAW AlsiD POLICE—This Day

EQUITY.
THE BREECH-LOADING ARMOURY COMPANY.—The ques-
tion raised in this case was the right of a person settled on
the list of contributories to have the amount due to him
front the company set off against the wills made upon him
prior to the winding-up proceedings. Mr. Calisher was
the manage't of the Breech-loading Armoury Company, in
respect of which position certain moneys were owing him.
On his behalf it was argued that, both on the ground of
the general law of set-off, and on the ground of a special
contract entered into between himself and the company,
he was entitled to be relieved of his calls, to the extent to
which he was a creditor of the company.—The Master
of the Rolls, in giving judgment, ruled that the powers
given to the court under the Companies Act of 1862, by
which debts due to a contributor might be treated as a se:-
off against his calls, applied only to companies not limited.
With limited companies the direction was clear that no
individual creditor Gould be paid his debt until all the
claims of the joint creditors had been satisfied. As to the
special contract which it was alleged the company had
made with Mr. Calisher, Lord Romilly found no suffi-
cient evidence of its existence, and doubted if it were com-
petent to the company to enter into any such agreement.
lie therefore ordered the calls to be paid, with interest, by
the Ist of March, the money to be carried to a separate
account, and not to. be paid out without notice to Mr.
Calisher.

THE CLERKENWELL OUTRAGE.

EXAMINATION OF THE CONSPIRATORS
—THE CHARGE AGAINST CLANCY.
BOW-STREET—THIS DAY.
The arrest of another person on Saturday last
under very suspicious circumstances led to the re-
vival of the interest in the examination of the pri-
soners charged with wilful murder. Previous to the
examination of those prisoners it was arranged that
this prisoner should be charged. He was brought
into court strongly guarded. He is a man appa-
rently about 28 years of age, of dark complexion,
and rather shabbily dressed. His head was bound
up with a broad linen bandage.
Mr. Burnaby—ls your name John Patrick
Clancy ?
Prisoner—yes.
Mr. Burnaby—The prisoner is charged with
wilfully shooting at two police-constables, named
John Chown and William Chamberlain of the E
division, -with intent to murder them.
Mr. Poland said he had been directed by the
Treasury to prosecute the prisoner with intent to
murder the two constables. The prisoner was a
deserter from the Royal Eugin lers,and from certai❑
circumstances it had been thought necessary to
watch the prisoner's home, and when his arrest was
attempted on Saturday night he made a violent re-
sistance, and discharged the pistol twice at the
officers.
John Chown said—l am a police-sergeant, No.
5 E division. On Saturday night I and Chamber-
lain went to No. 26, Sidmouth-street, Gray's-inn-
road. I went there about Bin the morning. I had
ascertained that the prisoner Patrick James Clancy
was lodging there. I and the other officer were in
plain clothes. We watched the house until 7 o'clock
in the evening, when the prisoner came out. We
followed him to Tottenham-court-road, and from
there to the corner of Bedford-street. When we
got there I spoke to him, and said " Is your name
Clancy ?" to which he replied " I don't know you."
I asked him again whether his name-was Clancy,
when he said, " No, my name is Reed ;" and he
said he lived at Great College-street, Camden
Town. I asked him if he had just left there, and
he said " Yes." I told him I should take him
into custody for being a deserter from the Royal
Engineers. The moment I said the word the pri-
soner, with the stick or umbrella he had with him,
tripped me up and threw me on my back. I saw
the constable Chamberlain pursue the prisoner, who
was then running away along Bedford-street to'
Bedford-square. When I got to the corner of the
square the prisoner turned to the right and con-
tinued running. I called oat" stop thief," when the
prisoner turned round, and then I heard something
whiz by my right ear like a bullet, and then saw a
flash and heard the report of fire-arms. Chamber-
lain was on my left, about six yards from me. I
saw the prisoner's face when I saw the flash. Ile
was about 20 yards from me when he fired. I saw
he had a revolver in his hand. Prisoner faced round
to the right when he fired, and he held the re-
volver point blank at me. The prisoner, after he
had fired once, turned round and commenced
running again towards Charlotte-street, I and
Chamberlain continuing to pursue him. After
running about 15 yards further I saw prisoner turn
round to the left and discharge a barrel at Cham-
berlain, who was then about 12 yards off him. I
this time saw the pistol plainly in his hand, as I had
gained ground on him. I saw Chamberlain stagger
against the rails, but I still pursued, crying " Stop,
thief." Chamberlain, however, re-commenced
running, when he (Chamberlain) got up to the
prisoner within about five yards, when a man
stopped the prisoner, and then Chamberlain got up
and threw him on his back on the pavement. This
was about the centre of the pavement, on the north
side of the square. When prisoner was tripped up
he had this revolver in his hand. I produce the
pistol, a six-barrel revolver. When we were on the
ground I heard a report, and saw the flash. When
I got up from the ground, to which I had fallen in
the struggle, I found Chamberlain had wren ched
the pistol from his hand, and he then struck the pri-
soner with the butt end of it on the head.
There was a strong smell of powder, and
Chamberlain's faco was blackened by the
explosions from the pistol. We kept the pri-
soner on the ground until we got the assistance
of some special constables. Soon after this prisoner
was conveyed to the George-street Station. Just
as we were going off with the prisoner one of the
bystanders said "You rascal, did you intend to shoot
me ?" to which prisoner said, with a nod of the
head, "I did not mean to shoot you, it was this
man (Chamberlain) I meant." As we were going
down Charlotte-street prisoner said, " Are you two
policemen ?" I said, " Yes," and he then said, " I
think I've had a very good battle, and fought a fair
duel, and I'm only sorry I've not got payment for
it." I and Chamberlain then took him to the
station. When we arrived there Chamberlain
handed the pistol to Superintendent Searle. The
pistol is now precisely in the same condition that it
was when taken from the prisoner. I found that
three chambers of the pistol had been discharge],
and that a bullet had become fixed between the
barrel and the pin.
Sir Thomas Henry—Then the pistol is yet still
loaded ?
Witness—yes, sir ; at least three barrels of it.
Mr. Poland—When you got to the station, did
the prisoner give his name ?
Witness—yes ;he said James Clancy, no settled
home, reporter ; and he afterwards gave his address
at 26, Si Imonth-street. On Sunday morning
Superintendent Searle and Inspector Garford and
myself went there. When we got there we saw the
prisoner's sister opening the door with a key. We
wont into a front room on the first floor, and there
found a female, whom I was told was the prisoner's
mother, and in the back room a man was asleep,
who was said to be the prisoner's father. A search
was made of the place. A drawer was found locked
in the front room. I opened it with a key taken
from the prisoner at the station. Inspector Searle
made the search of that room, but in the kitchen I
found two six-chamber revolvers, unloaded, a great
quantity of bullets, two bullet-moulds, and a canis-
ter of powder. The person, who I believe is the
prisoner's mother, and brother were present when I
found the articles I have mentioned.
Cross-examined by the prisoner—I first saw you
come from the house I have mentioned. lam quite
sure you had a stick or umbrella in your hand.
Chamberlain was with me at the time. When I
first spoke to you in Tottenham-court-road I told
you we were police officers, and that we should take
you into custody for desertion. If I have omitted
that in my first examination it is by pure accident.
I distinctly state that I mentioned the words Royal
Engineers when I took you in custody. Before you
fired the first time you turned suddenly round, took
aim, fired, and then ran away. Three shots were
fired.

Sir T. Henry—Yes, there are three chambers of
the pistol still loaded, one bullet remains fixed be-
tween the barrels and the pin, so that providentially
only two bullets actually left the pistol.
Cross-examined—l and Chamberlain were the
only persons near when you fired the first two
shots. When the third shot was fired you were on
the ground, and there were other persons standing
by. The coachman, whose hand was blackened by
the powder, was there.
William Chamberlain, 163 E, said—l was with
Chown on Saturday morning watching 26, Sid-
mouth-street, Gray's-inn-road. In the evening 1
saw the prisoner come out of the house. I and
Chown followed him to Tottenham-court-road.
The prisoner carried a stick in his hand. At the
corner of Bedford-street Chown asked the prisoner
if his name was Clancy ; to which he replied, " I
don't know you." Chown asked the prisoner where
lie lived, but, the prisoner making no reply, the
constable repeated the question, when the prisoner
said, " Reed ; and I live in Great College-street,
Camden-town, and I have come from there along
the Gray's-inn-road." Chown said, " I shall take
you into custody for being a deserter." 1 believe
he said, " From the Sappers." I then saw the
prisoner place his stick between Chown's legs, he
then tripped him up, and then set off running. Two
gentlemen stood accidentally in my way, so that 1
had not the opportunity of seizing the prisoner at
