tables, charged with throwing stones at the constables.
The first of them said his name was Henry SAarkleford, and that
he was living with his father, in Guildford-street, Boomabury. He was
$ baker, but had been out of place three years.
D. Forrester, the officer, said he saw the prisoner's band up in the act
of throwing, but be did not see what came from it.
Alderman VYNAILES said be should detain him till he heard some
further account of him.
Remanded.
Theism. Doss', a firewood.cutter, In Brick-lane, Spitalfields, was
charged with a like offence.
James Mack, an extra-constable, saw the prisoner firing a brickbat,
which struck him on the forehead, and nearly knocked him down. This
was half an hour before he was apprehended by another office: for throw.
ing something towards the police.
Mack swore positively that he had observed him busy in the crowd
for at least two hours, and the prisoner was committed for the assault.
He bellowed piteously on being locked up.
John James, a little boy, was fully committed, for stealing a hand-
kerchief in the crowd.

At eight o'clock Mr. Alderman F•arsioTHE a and Mr. Alderman
COPELAND came into the Justice Room to hear the charges against
the prisoners who had been arrested subsequently to the Sluing Aida.
man having quitted the Chair.
John Adowu, of King's Head-square, Shoreditch, was charged with
striking several persons in the crowd wantonly with a stick, which he
threw away on being seised.—Remanded.
Stephen Bell was charged with crying " Go it !"and encouraging the
crowd to rush against and annoy the police.—Discharged.
George Osborn, a seaman belonging to the Waterloo Rut ludlaman,
was charged with having " bonnetted" several respectable persons ; that
is, beat their hats down over their eyes with his hand.
His defence was, that he himself had been " bonnetted" by a drover
as soon as he came up to Guildhall to see what was the matter.
The Magistrates said that this fun might do on board an Indiaman,
but not for the vicinity of Guildhall; but, believing he bad himself
considered it merely a lark, they discharged him upon his undertaking
to run without even looking backwards, to his lodgings in Ratdiffihigh.
wee , and not to come again into the City.
John Hill, John Corder, and James Kenny, who had obstructed or
threatened the constables, were 'demobbed, and discharged upon their
promise not to be seen in the City again.
Several of the magistrates continued in attendance during the even.
ing, and about 10 o'clock Sir P. Laurie and Mr. Alderman Winchester,
who had been personally ascertaining the state of the eastern part of the
City, reported that all was quiet there.
The mob about Guildhall, which at noon amounted to 3000 persons
at least, diminished gradually, and eight o'clock there were scarcely
as many hundred persons.
Above ten o'clock a sharp conflict took plate at Temple.bar. The
new police force on the moan side had closed the gsa against a body
of perhaps 300 men, who came from Spitalfields, and who had armed
themselves with pieces of wood. Mr. Brown, the Marshal, insisted on
, having the control of the gates as belonging to the City, and caused it
to be instantly opened, which produced loud cheers from the mob of
" The City Police for ever." They soon, however, lost their popularity
by opposing the passage of the mob through the bar, and evouring
to disarm them. In this rencontre Mr. Brown received a severe wound
on the bead. The other City officers were also roughly handled. The
, mob forced their way, but returned soon afteiwaids, and went quietly
through the City. Ror and D. Forester, two of the City officers, were
beaten with staves by the new police at this spot, between eight and
nine o'dock.

At eleven o'clock, Sir P. Laurie and Mr. Alderman Thorpe came to
the Justice.room, and stated that they bad just returned from Temple-
bar, which they had passed through without meeting with the least ob.
struction or annoyance on either side.
At half-past eleven, Mr. Alderman Parebruther, who had walked to
Temple-bar with Sir James Shaw, made a precisely similar report of
the state of the streets.

At twelve o'clock a rumour reached the Office that an affray had
taken place between some rioters and the watchmen in Bishopsgate.
Mr. Alderman Farebrother went immediately to the place with a
large body of constables. He found all quiet, the crowd having en-
tire
BOly
lldispersedET.
-111 T IZ.—Mr. Mileson, a lieutenant in the navy, was brought
before Mr. HALLS, charged vith having committed a riot at the Admi-
ralty yesterday morning.
It appeared that about ten o'clock, the defendant called at the Admi-
ralty with a letter for Mr. Croke; but b.ing told that there was no
answer, he rushed up stain, and brandishing a great stick, swan that
he would see Mr. Croker himself. He was stopped, however, before
he entered Mr. Croker's room, and given into custody. The defendant,'
in answer to the charge, said that in the year 1827, he forwarded some
documents to his present Majesty, then Lord High Admiral, and since
then he hadrepeatedly applied for them, but without success. and he
called that morning for the purple of getting them. He went on to
state that he conshlered himself a very injured man.
Mr. Minimum. said the explanation in no way justified his con.
duct, and therefore called on him tor bail.
The defendant, whose conduct was very violent, said he would
remain in prison rather than give bail, as he would not be answerable
for not repeating his application. He was then removed.
Dr. Collier, of Spring Gardens, and three of his pupils, named
Bradford, Hanson, and another, were charged, Bradford with having
assaulted a young man named William Creasy, Hanson and the other
with an attempt at rescue ; and the Doctor with aiding and assisting.
It appeared that the four gentlemen were walking abreast in the
Strand, when they came in collision with the complainant opposite So.
merset House. 'The complainant was knocked down by Bradford, and
the clothes were torn from his back by the other parties. Bradford was
then taken into custody by the police constable F. 136, and the other
defendants attempted to rescue him, aed in the course of the scuffle that
ensued, the policeman, and a porter belonging to Somerset House, who
I had come to his assistance, received several blows front the defendants,
one of whom, a Mr. Hanson, used a stick across the shoulders of the
policeman.
The defendant endeavoured to explain away the matter, and Dr.
Collier denied that he had taken any part in the matter, except as peace
maker.

Mr. MINIIIIVLL not being satisfied of that, however, held all the
parties to bail on the three distinct charges of assault.
The defendants gave the required sureties, and Mr. Thomas empres.
sed his intention to indict the defendants at the Sessions.
Usriox.Hatt..—.Yesterday, Ply Co. was charged with stealing a
piece of silk, containing 83 yards, the property of Means. White and
Greenwell, Blackfriars-road.
Mr. Oreenwell stated that the prisoner purchased some trifling arti.
des. As she was on the point of quitting the shop, Mr. Greenwell's
suspicions were excited. When accused of stealing a roll of silk, she
betrayed gran agitation, and taking the piece containing 83 yards, from
underneath her cloak, sne placed it on a chair, and falling upon her
knees, implored forgiveness, and saying that she was was waling to
pay any sum if she was permuted to leave the shop and return home.
The prisoner was committed.
Monday two men named Wilson and Edwards, were brought been
Mr. enametans charged with behaving in a dosses manner, and dia,
tubing the con at on assembled at a Dissenting ineeting.house in
ICollier's.rents, Southwark.
From the evidence of the clergyman and other individuals, it appear.
that during the morning strike, at the above placej of worship, the

coupe were disturbed by the noise of the defendants, who intrt.d,d
tic yes for the purpose of creating a disturbance. The Loise n,,de
by the defendants completely drowned the voice of the minister, ,r,,t
when the clerk interfered to eft them, he was threatened. At length
the uproar became so greet, thedareedints both hallooing and sin..,:.
indecent songs, that it was found necessary to have further asaisti4el
and after great resistance on the part of the defendants, they were both
locked up. At the station-besse they were equally boisterous in theft
conduct, and kept bawling and bootleg the whole of the night, to tier
great annoyance of those persons living in the vicinity of the plae, of
dick confinement.

The defendants said they were sorry for what they did, and were now
willing to make any atonement fa their conduct on the occasion. The,
added that they were intoxicated at the time.
The Magistrate said that excuse did not palliate their offence.
The minister said they did not want to behave rigorously to the de.
tendons ; all they required was some guarantee that the oongregatio
would not in future be disturbed.

Mr. Czawssas said, that the may way to guarantee order and de.
carom in future, would be to indict the defendants at the sessions, ,:n,;
they were accordingly held to bail.
QuEsw.scauartz.--Yesterday, Winfarn Elder was charged by C.
Hibbard, • with striking him, at half-past twelve o'clock or
Monday night, opposite the Horse Guards.
The witness deposed, that the prisoner was in the mob, with his hie
in hand, waving it, and shooting to the man who bore the tricoloured
flag, " This way, my boy !" pointing towards the Strand. On the po.
'iceman attempting to take him into custody, he aimed a blow with a
thick stick at his face, but the officer guarded his face, and rewired fl
across the back of his hand.

Mr. Purser saw; a mob, which consisted of nearly 3,000 persons,
coming down the &nod. They assembled round the statue at Charing.
ants. The prisoner was conversing with two persons, and, observing
the direction which the rioters were taking, called to them, " This way,
my boys !" and directed them towards the Houses of Parliament,
(the prisoner,) walking on the pavement, at the same time waiving
large stick. The mob then proceeded to the House of Commons,
where, finding the House closed. they returned to Downing.stmet. At
this moment, the police, who had insinuated themselves amongst them,
made a simultaneous attack, and disperW them. The rioters, during
their progress, cried " Down with Wellington ! Down with the New
Police I down with the Ministers 1 and Reform for ever !"
The prisoner in his defence said that he had been supping with twn
friends, and as he was ieg home, he met the mob, and was ac-
cidentally mixed with them. He denied baring cheered the mob and
struck the_policeman. He was fined M. and ordered to be detained.
