IfT,(3 T-END FAIR.

Monday evening, a most outrageous and daring
scene of plunder took place, together with the wound-
ing and bruising of great numbers of persons assem
bled at West End Fair, Hampstead. The numbers of
the ruffians have bees estimated as high as 200.
Many of them were armed with bludgeons, and those
who were not, tore up the trestles. of the stands for
weapOns to defend themselves against the police-
officers and constables, whom they overpowered.—
The life of one of them was yesterday stated to be in
danger. Davis, belonging to Bow-street Office, was
very nearly deprived of the sight of both his eyes.
The daring and outrageous conduct was principally
between sit and seven o'clock, when every person
.passing the two entrances to the field where the fair.
is held, was attacked and rifled. Numbers whose
pockets could not be opened easily, had the skirts of
their coats cut off, And the pockets of their small-
clothes turned inside-our. The conduct of these ruffi-
ans towards the &males was most brutal, and com-
pelled them to utter the must distressing shrieks and
screams. Their arms were held up, their clothes cut,
and every article of wearing-apparel torn from them.
Some were turned upon their heads, and the greatest'
indecencies offered to their persons. To effect their
diabolical purposes, the villains have been estimated
to have been in gangs of ten, twenty, Unity, forty,
and even as high as fifty.
Yesterday, a boy named Joseph Taller was brought
'to Bow-street, charged .with being active in the mis-
chief, and committed for further examination.
Jaynes Whittaker was also brought to the same
Office by Hunt, the constable for Hampstead, charged
with a similar offence. - _

Charles Read,ofPond-street, Hampstead, attended
with a plaster on his- head, in consequence of the
wounds he received at the Fair; He stated that. he
was in company with his father, and observing some
constables very ill-treated, went to their assistance,
but the mob proved too powerful for them, and not
only put them at defiance, but he and his father re-
ceived cuts in their heads, and were robbed of their
hats. Several of the constables were treated in a si-
milar manner. He saw The prisoner with nearly a
new hat in hii hand, besides that on his head ; he
followed the prisoner, and observed him offer the
hat at two shops for sale, when lie secured him.—
As the prisoner was brought through Tottenham-
court-road to the fte:lce, Mrs Bean, No. 5, Charles-
street, Somers',Town, recognised him as the man who
robbed her if her handkerchief, at West End Fair,
on Monday night.—Remanded.
Joseph Dickinson, Waller Ellis, and Richard Harris,
were charged with similar offences.
Samuel Dickons, belonging to the above office,
I stated, that about half past three o'clock yesterday
morning, he, in company with liober•-ln and Bat-
ton, horse patrole, was crossing n field leading from
West End Fair, when, knowing the prisoners to be
suspicious characters, they searched them, and found
upon Ellis the skirts of two blue coats. On Harris
they found two handkerchiefs ; on Dickson a purse,
containing three half crowns and four shillings, a box
of brass dominos, &c. The prisoners were committed
for further examination.
Yesterday the gangs of pickpockets at West End
Fair were as numerous and audacious as on Monday
evening.—Ladies were robbed of their bonnets, ridi-
cules, and parasoles, in open day ; their persons, in
many instances, reduced almost to a state of nudity,
and the few individuals who had spirit to protect'
them against these ruffians, were overcome by num-
bers, and dreadfully maltreated. To add to the dis-
asters of the day, a genteel young man, in an endea-
vour to recover his stick which had fallen, came within
the range °lone of the swings, which killed him on
the spot ! His body was carried to an adjoining pub-
lic house. His name and connections were at that
period totally unknown.

Monday afternoon, between three and four o'clock,
as a waggon was proceeding through Temple-Bar, a
soldier accidentally slipped off the pavement, when
the wheels went over his thigh, broke it, and bruised
him in several parts of his body. He was conveyed
to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, with little hopes of
recovery.
