justification of himself, declared that the gun had
been given to him at the corner of St. Paul's,
while he was talking to the street-sweeper. There
were, he said, two other men present and a wo-
man, all of whom saw the transaction. The per-
son who put the arms into his possession was not

they wanted ; assured them .t her Mr. Beckwttla

of the leading circumstances. lie admitted that
he had joined the mob, but not until they bad
passed the end of St. Paul's Church-yard and
declared that his conduct, while he was in the

pital to Admiral Martin, to whose house, in the
Admiralty, lie had called, from which be was di-
'wed to the Admiral's office in Somerset-house.

termined to kill or be killed.—ltemantled.
