The Loan %Toe; being of opinion that some
clue might he discovered into the whole system
by adopting proper Meant, determined on a pri-
vate exenti est as the /host likely to Accomplish
such an 'object. The prisoners were accordingly
removed' from the jost ice-room into another apart •
fluent, but we understand nothing of importance
has transpired. They have all acknowledged that
they were concerned in the disturbance, and' bore.
ems, which were given to them by persons ot
whom they, knew nothing, but- denied that they
lied any intention of doing mischief. The officer,
'in *Ouse custody the prisoners were detained
finti.rt otelotk in the day till 7 in the evening,
states, that he put a question to Hooper, intended
to ascertain why he went into the city, Cod why
he cart it'd the two pistols which were seized upon
his Realm). The pistols were loaded 'with shot,
and did not appedir to have been dischsrged at any
tine in the course of yesterday. The prisoner
stated, in reply, that his object, and he believed
that of the rioters genqally, was to compel the
Lord Mayor to accompany them, for the purpose
of ascertitining ,why no answer was icIIITISVI tip
k dick petition. The pistols, be stated, Weretiven
to him by some person at Spa-fields, and he took
them in the expectation that the soldiers might
be called ont, and might possibly fire at them, in
which case he acknowledged it was his intention
to have, returned the tire in self defence.
We understand that the further examination is
postponed till to-morrow. It is supposed, from
llooper's aeoonexion with the Spasfields Meet-
ing, that something may be extracted from him
of importances towards dlevelophig the secrets of
the system, as well as bringing torward those
characters who took the MOSS leading part in the
late proceedings. This,, et least is the object to
which the attention of the Magistrates is now
directed. Mr.'lleek with, and seine other indivi-
duals, whotegyitlence is calculated to throw a light
an the subject,.were in attendsnce.

this cast, as well as in must others, the most
guilty C3C2SpC ; none of the men in the mob Writ:
apprehended., SCCMlntet! f. .r that, by say-
ing all the' rioters were armed with sticks or
bludgeons, and he had no person to assiat him,
Thu prisoner in his defence said, he went into
the shop with the mob, and the loaves were given
him,-as. well es to tile rioters, .
This was denied by the foreman' of the shop,
who said his master was 'from home when the mob
shacked the sjtop, and no person bin himself was
in it when tile rioters entered it by force, and ask-
ed him for bread, to which he replied it did not
belong to Itite,'and he could not give it away.—
They then helped themselves.
The mother of the prisoner attended and went

he stated, lied been taken from him by Officers
belonging to the Office; he averred that he was not
going to do etty,liarm with them, as they were
not loaded. The Magistrate tried in the most
patient manner, but in vain, to ascertain the cir-
cumstances, but it is supposed some Pollee-officers
had deprived him of them ou Monday, on his
