John Martin sworn— I was passing by the Castle Inn at a
quartr.T past eight o'cicck, and saw a crowd of men coming
out of the tap. Tried to avoid them. Heard voices outside,
suing why don't you bring him out. Directly after, saw
about a dozen soldiers coming from that direction. They
rains round me suddenly, lifted up a stout stick, and struck
me on the side of the head ; and, immediately after, struck
me across the arm with a stick. A third struck me with his
fist on my eye, and on my side, and knocked me down.
When I got on my legs, and was looking for my hat, another
came up to me, and struck me on the right eye, the force of
which again knocked me down. I got up and called for
police. My son came to my assistance. I did nothing to
provoke the assault. I wore no favours. Saw a man named
Cannan knocked down by a soldier with his fist at the time I
was struck.
Mr. Williams, who said he attended as counsel for J. Mar-
tin, applied to have a summons for a man named Cooper,
who knew the parties who struck his client.
Mr. Kettle urged the magistrates to have the man brought
before them at once. _ _ _ .

The "MAYOR said the summonses must be obtained in the
usual way, and he would hear the case on Monday.
Mr. Blunt said the general inquiry would be adjourned to
Monday next.
Mr. -Darwill—Do I understand the proceedings are to be
adjourned sine die?
No answer was given.

It being understood an important witness was now in
Court, he was ordered to be examined.
Thomas Goodchild (alias Angelo, the fighter) deposed, I
was going to Newman's to have some beer ; coming out into
the street I met three soldiers in the passage. They were
Lite Guards, one named Brassey, another Miller, and the
other Wren, the runner. They got into conversation with
me about fighting the Turville Slasher, and said I did not
bLthave well to my second. I said I did not employ him, and
I would not pay him. During this several soldiers came in,
and I was advised to go into the bar. I would not go, and
challenged Brassey to fight. He said he would fight me for
201.; and I said I would have nothing to do with him.
Went out into the street, pulled off my jacket, and chal-
lenged him to come out, and he refused. Newman'
advised me to go away, or they would kill me. I then went
and sat in MrA. Hand's shop until the row was over. Was
not struck that night, and saw no one else struck. Did not
see the three men I have mentioned strike anyone.
At the conclusion of this man's examination,
The MAYOR declared the Court adjourned to Monday next,
at eleven o'clock.

On Wednesday night last, as Superintendent
Wright, of the Lancaster police force, was standing at the
side of the street watching the conduct of an assemblage of
nearly 1.000 persons, whom the Guy Fawkes' anniverary had
brought together he was shot at by some ruffian unknown.
The toilet grazed Mr. Wright's chin, completely stunning
him, so that be fell backwards with his head against the
pavement ; and front the effects of the shock was seriously
ill all that night and the following day. He states that he
saw a nem about ten yards distant take a deliberate him at
b i Ceutity Journal.

defence of the 11l seamen, who are charged with mutiny and
murder on board the Tory, and who stand remanded for a
week. Yesterday Mr. Pelham had a long interview with
his clients in the Westminster Bridewell. Tie found them
exceedingly cheerful and in high spirits, with the exception
or Gair, who is still labouring under great suffering, from
the effects of repeated discharges of a pistol loaded with
piwder in his face. In compliance with the instructions of
the Magistrate, the wounded man was admitted into the
infirmary, and has received the most humane attentions
from Lieut. Tracey and Mr. Lewis, the surgeon of the gaol.
In th course of the day the whole of the prisoners ex-
pressed their gratitude to the governor and surgeon in the
warmest terms, and when Mr. Pelham visited them they
were very much elated. Their statements were taken down
in writing, and were similar to those they made at the police-
court, but more in detail. The men charge the captain with
three murders, and they will be supported in their accusa-
tions, in a great measure, by the female passengers who were
witnesses.
