WORCESTER COUNTY SESSIONS.

At the Worcester County Sessions, on the 22d inst.
a bill of indictment was preferred against thirteen
persons for riotous conduct on the day of the Coro.
nation, to the great annoyance of the loyal inhabit-
ants of Worcester, who were assembled at dinner at
the Dudley Arms ; the party alluded to decorated
themselves with white favours, and paraded the
street opposite the windows of the dinner-room, and
continued to do so for some time, shouting " Queen,"
and " Queen for ever !" and, by degrees, as it be-
came dark, excited the mob to acts of outrage
against the " King's Men," as they termed those who
were partaking of the festivities of the day. They
began by attacking some individuals of the Himley
and Enville Troop of Yeomanry, who were regaling
themselves at the Dudley Arms, and proceeded pre-
sently to demolish, with stones and brickbats, the
windows of the room in which they were, and in a
very short time there was scarcely a whole pane of
glass in it. The windows of a room above, where
the Gentlemen of the town were dining, were also
attasked, and the party obliged to quit the room,
and break up, after a few toasts only had been given.
Many of the individuals who went out to quell the
riot were most severely beaten ; and, in reading the
Riot Act, the Magistrate (Mr. HAWKES) was assailed
with brickbats and large stones, and his life was in
imminent danger. The ordinary and special con-
stables, who were sworn in on the occasion, were
shamefully beaten, and for some time overpowered,
and it was found necessary to assemble the military
force in the yard of the Dudley Arms, to act only in
case of the most urgent necessity. Soon after the
Riot Act was read, by the great exertions of the con-
stables some of the ringleaders were secured, and the
mob dispersed without the assistance of the Cavalry.
After the evidence on both sides had been gone
through, the Jury signified to the Chairman, that as
they were quite satisfied, it would be unnecessary for
him to sum up the evidence; and immediately they
returned a verdict of Guilty against four of the de-
fendants.—The Chairman (Earl Momirraortats)
passed sentence first upon the two principal offen-
ders—that they should severally be imprisoned in
the County Jail for twelve calendar months, at the
end of which time each should pay a fine to the King
of £lO, and be further imprisoned till it was paid,
and each find security for his good behaviour, him-
self in £4O and two sureties in £2O each for two
years, from the expiration of their imprisonment.—
As to the other two, there was no evidence against
them of wearing badges, or encouraging others to
riot, and it appeared that they had been led by others
into the commission of the crime of which they bad
been found guilty.—The Court had taken these cir-
cumstances into consideration, and its sentence upon
them was, that they should be each imprisoned in
the County Jail for six calendar months.

Hatfield-House, in Hertfordshire, and arrived in town
in time to receive the joyful charge. The fair Lady
and her infant are doing extremely well.
