in Caftle-ilrect, near Cavendifh-fquare, where they
demanded admittance, and, upon being refuted,
began to make a great diflurbance, attacking the
citadel, and endeavouring to force an entrance.—
One of them got into the area, and an alarm being
given, the watchmen in the neighbourhood came
to the anance of the venerable matron of the
bagnin, and fecured the aftailants, in doing which
one of the watchmen was knocked down. They
did not deny the charge, but ;nettled, with much
effrontery, that the Magifirate had no right to de-
tain them, and that they were merely amufing
themfelves, and were in fearch of fair game. They
gave bail, and were difcharged.
An attorney was alto charged with afraulting
the mailer of a public }route, the corner of Char-
lotte-flreet, Rathbone-place. He gave bail to an-
twer the complaint.

vent belonging to the houfe who partly confeffed it.
