t MAott told hint that Ihe HCCOOIit 'of his conduct
given by several reSpectabie persons', t,,geiher
with the evidence that he had not attempted le)
follow the mob to ftadier scenes of riot, operated
so strongly in his favoisr, ut tO prevent any further
vimidimeut. In the hope tialt What he had al.
iendy suffered wofila tvartrolg to him, IA
Lord,hip tinkled him to be discharged.
Cashman was brought up, and, the evidettA
aitaiugt hint tidying heels tend, was asked whether
he had any thing to say peeviouily to his Com-
minneut.

•
Cashman said, lie bad noticing to •add to Ids
former accOunt. He declared his innocence as
an intention of mischief to any human bein c ad-
mitted that be had handled a musket; but asserted
that he had found it : pleaded staryatiou in eXcuse
for havilig joined the mob, and described the
wounds lie had got in the service of his cOUntrY as
si innot that he would not become her cnetny.
The Lotto MAYO'II said, he dared say the pri-
soner was a brave fellow ; but regretitAl- ihnt it
wns hih duty to comMit him for a very heinous
offence..

cii'shnian ivas then fully cOnnuitteil , to take his
trial for stealing fire-anusirow the iltveiling-housu
of Mr. Be, twith.

Upon being informed by ithi Lord Mayor that
he was 'committed; Cashman said; " Thank you,
my Lord."
Gaddyll was likewise fully comMitted fp take
his trial upon the charge of having had in his pos-
session a gun which bad been stolen out of Mr.
Beckwith's 8114)1).
This priioner also declared his innocence.
The next brought up WAS Prestim, the Secretary.
Mr. CANtwig, a Solicitor, attended for hint, and
mentioned to the Lord Mayor, that having consi-
dered Preston aSled Mid infatuated ItCr!Mu, he
had advised him not to say atty•mtire fur himself.,
;as it might tend to his disadvantage.
The Loan MAYOR said he had attentively con-
sidered the case of-Preston, and deterinined that
lie should take his trial upon the charge of being
concerned in the riots. As tha offence was a
misdemeanour, and bailable. if good bail were
sent in to the City Solicitor within 24 hours, the
prisoner shuuld be set at liberty.
Preston said he was not prepared with hail,
except it stepped forward voluntarily out 0t the
crowd; and made no further observation than
that he still would miintain his independence by
making no application for bail, and that he felt
-obliged to the Lord Mayor for the indulgence
shown to hint in the conr,e.of the examinations.

/hyper war broug,ht up.
The Loan MAYOR told this prisoner. that his
case wds nt h nii,re serioni nuttily than Preston's,
for he hod been in tile midst i,t the rioters with
Inadecl hoVceVer, that he
might bail the misdemeanour'.
