Mr. Kum opened the profecntion by fitting that
the three prifoners, Taylor. Corneilley,',and Draper,
were charged as principals, and the other prifoner
Newman, only as an acccffary before the fie. He
Paid the profecutors were of of two parifhes, St.
Sepulchre's and St. Luke; that the Magiflrates had
Wiled a warrant for the purp3fe of fearching difor-
derly houfes, and to apprehend idle people, who
might be found likely to dilLurb the public peace;
end that in confequence of this warrant being put
into execution, the affaalt charged in the indiament
took place. He then proceeded Ilsortly to floe the
particular circumllance of the cafe, which will appear
from the fubdance of the evidence which was adduc-
ed. As to the prifoner Taylor, he acknowledged,
that although he was charged as a principal along
with others in this tranfaaion, yet be could not un-
dertake to prove that any perfonal violence or threats
were ufed by him on the occafion.

Samuel Stidgentan, High Conftable of the Fin.
(bury Divifion, in the pa&iOs of St. Luke, produced
the Search Warrant, figned by two of the Magian:es
of Hatton Garden.

Bridgman depofed, that in obedience to the war-
rant, be iffued precepts to call feveral conflables to
meet him, and that the profectitor Thomas Coltman
was one of the number. In order to put it in execu-
tion they went to a pub;ic.houfe called the Cock and
Bell, in Old•fireet. He therefaw the prifoner Cor.
neilley, taking a pint of beer at the bar, but did not
think it neceffary to apprehend him at that time.—
He, however, took up five diforderly perfons, and
tent Coltman and ethers with them, en Old greet
watch houle, and he himfelf then proceeded to the
bonfe called the Oxford Arms, in the fame &en,
about the did:ince of a furlong from the other. He
law Newman fitting in a box in that honfe, in coin
pony with feveral others ; he alto faw the prifoner
Draper, but was not certain of feeinF Taylor. He
heard Nenman fay, " d—n the High Conflabk,"l
previous to any didurbance happening : lie took no
notice of his condua, but paffed on in order to view
the whole company till he came up to Draper, with
whom he had tome quiet converfation, and told him,
that he• (the witnefs) had come there in order to do,
his duty, and therefore he could by no means be par.'
tial. At this time ltc heard Newman calling him
(witnefs) by name, and uttering various oaths very
loudly. The witnels turned round to him, and find.
" hold your tongue Jack. otherwife I mull order
you into cusody. ' The ex preffions which Newman
ufed were, to the belt of the witnefs's recolleason,
" d—n Bridgeman, b—t him, d—n the conliabk,
who dares for them d—n all his b—y traps, d—n
their b-y livers." The prifoner Newman then Tared
out of the box with violence, and tiled the fame'
words; after which be turned round to the box where
bis comrades were, and laid, " d—n you, you are
all a let of b—y fools, if you fuffer one of yourfelves
to be taken." He then added," I would rather die
firft r" or, " you could rather die Left." He, the
witnefs, was not certain which of there expreffions
was ufed by the prifoner, owing to the confulion
which then prevailed in the !tonic. by their attempt.
ing to puffs and drive away the officers. The witnefs
feised hold of Draper by the coat, but owing to its
tearing. he made his efcape at that time by aunt:tog up
the fide of a table in one of the public boxes, where
be pulled fomething out of his pocket. which the wit-
nefs had no doubt was a knife. Draper faid,at the fame
time, " d—n your b—y liver, I'll cut out your b—y
liver." On this, one of the officers (truck that
prifoner over the arm, which tended to confofe him,
and prevented him from opening his knife. He then
riffled out upon the witnefs, and feized his flick, bin
he was immediately feized by two of the Officers.—
The witnefs faw one of the Officers fall, while the
prifoner, with the greateff violence, got away from
the other. The deponent then (deed Newman. who,
he conceived. was a great acceffary to this dilturb•
ante. and continued ufing fuch violent expreftions
all the way towards the watch-houfe. When arrived
there. one of the watchmen told the witnefs, that
Coltman was violently cut. When Coneilley was
feized, tome blood appeared upon him, and be Did
repeatedly, " I with fhad cut their b--- livers out;"
and ufed various other dreadful expreffions. Cor-
neifly made an ends for the blood which appeared
upon him, and laid. " that tome of the b—y traps
(meaning the confeables) had cut him." The witnela
anfwercd, and laid, .1 that he did not think that could
be true, as he believed that none of the oinecrs had
any cutting indruments about them." He then laid.
"he had been cut by a bit of glafs." Ncwnian and
Cinneilley were then orderedlto be handcuffed toge•
titer for coating fuch a riot. Newman had arrived
at the watch houfe before this molt violent part of
the affray happened. The deponent was not certain
of teeing Taylor there, but when brought to the
watch lu,igfe, the witnefs faid to him 66 well, Mr. Tay- ,
tor, do ycu know me this he anfwered, that
be did not. He denied alto ki.owing ally thing of

him to have been oncei fiflrmonger. and afterwards
a publican, and as fuch had occupied the Oxford
Arms, but had lately given it up ; that prifoner's
wife was prefent when he was in the watch houfe,
and the witnefs heard her check him for ufing Inch

prifiner Cnrneilley.
