SERIOUS OUTRAGE.-011ThurslaY, at noon, several
coal-backers in the employment of Mr. William Convert Wright, a
coal-merchant, of Rateliff, entered the Thames Police Court under
blackened ryes
the protection of police-constables of the K division, for the purpose
of obtaining warrants against a number of the same fraternity, who
bad committed a most unprovoked outrage upon them. The appli-
cants exhibited the marks pof recent injuries. tine man's cheek was
cut open, and the blood was streaming down his face; another had
violent kicks he had ; a third was criledfrom
re-
ceived; and the others bruised, their clothes torn, and their
faces marked. Six

and it appeared from their
I them were sworn,
statements that, about au hour previous they were employed on their
master's whatf, when a sudderiattack was made upon then by flf.
teen coal-backers recently in the service of Mr. Wright, who drove
them into the lobby, beat them in a most savage manner, and tried
to force several of them into the river. An attempt was then made
to close th doors of the lobby, for the purpose of hemming
ing in the applicants
, and preventing the escape of any one, whi, h
would have enabled the assailants to carry their apparently mur.
derous intentions into effect. A desperate fight ensued, and the party
attacked defended themselves in the hest way they could, but were
overpowered by numbthe most serious consequences would
have taken place if poelFs, and
g cant Pitt, No. 40, and Rooke, a con.
stable, No. 245, of the Kiede-ser-o, had not opportunely arrived. The
fellows, on seeing the police,ivisi fled from the place, leaving their vic-
tims on the ground. SObleeding profusely, and others in a state of
exhaustion. The rioters soon rallied, and threatened to pull the
wharf down, and to sacrifice the lives of their fellow workmen, when
a strong force of Police from the Shadwell station-house came to the
spot and intimidated them. No more violence was attempted, but
the rioters, who were joined by many idle blackguards in the neigh-
, bourhood, continued groaning-and hissing for some time. Mr. Bal-
lantine issued warrants liar the aP
goliension of nine men, named
John Simums, Thomas Trotter,lWilliam Moriarty, Coffee Joe,
Thomas Swaine, Moey, Henry Bridgman, Thomas Nightingale, and
James Ilarris, the principals in the affray. The worthy Magistrate
said, if there was any more rioting going on the warrants we, e to be
immediately executed. The rioters heard what was doing and kept
out of the way, and the police were stationed at the wharf to prevent
any further breach of the peace. The men attacked had been con.
tinued in Mr, 'right's employ because they were the best and most
steady hands, and the services of the others had been dispensed with
only till business became inure brisk.
