Exitevrton or Bi..NJA NOBLF--This
nate man, who was between 50 and 60 years of age,
underwent the sentence of the law shortly after eight
o'clock yesterday morning, at the usual place in the
'Old Bailey. He was convicted last Sessions (together
with an accomplice, named Mary Brown) of having
stolen from Mr. Jeremiah Steele,slop-seller, of Tower-
hill, through the medium.of a boy of tender age,
named W. Squires Smith,-whom he had seduced into
the commission of acts of delinquency, a vast quan-
tity of Woollen cloths. He was visited early in the
morning by the Rev. Mr. CO:TON and Mr. BAILER,
and appeared perfectly resigned, but he became more
agitated as the awful moment approached. Indeed,
so great was his fear of death, that it was found ne-
cessary to furbish him with wine. The Sub-Sheriffs,
Messrs. PuLLaN and Tv/mita attended on the occa-1
sion, and Mr. i3AKIIR supported the unhappy man to
the scaffold, whefe a new executioner (lotting, the
regular person appointed tee that melanctio)y.oake,
being indisposed) performekhe xvilacerenscoy oak
necessary firmness.

Row-staitet.--In consequence of the outrageous
scenes at West-End Fair, on Monday evening and
night, an additional number of Constables belonging
to the above Office, as well as Officers from Hatton-
garden, were ordered to attend the Fair fo detect t
and apprehend the offenders ; a number of the inha-
bitants of Hampstead were also sworn in Special
Constables by Mr. CARTWRIGHT, the Magistrate of
Hampstead, to assist the regular Police. On Tuesday
evening, notwithstanding the increased number of
the Police, they were not equal altogether to meet
with equal strength the banditties, who assembled in
numerous bodies, armed rith bludgeons, &c. and
who acted in their attacks upon defenceless individu-
als with more daring conduct, if possible, than on
Monday night, by knocking people down, wounding
and ill-treating them ; the number of depredators
were estimated at 150 in the different gangs. After
knocking down persons, and wounding, bruising and
beating them, they not only robbed them of their
money, but also in the most daring manner of their
wearing apparel, particularly of their hats.,One man,
while laid helpless on the ground by one of the gangs,
had nearly all his clothes tore off him ; his breeches
were torn to rags, so that he was left nearly in a state
of riudity. These disgraceful scenes were not con-
'fined to the fair ; but the miscreants sallied forth to
the fields adjoining the fair, where individuals who
happened to be walking in them were attacked, ill-
treated, and robbed, like those in the fair. By great
exertions on the part of the numerous assemblage of
the Police, they succeeded in securing thirty fellows
suspected of being depredators, principally consisting
of two gangs, eleven in one and nineteen in the other.
They took opportunities of apprehending them chiefly
in a booth, called Waterloo Booth, and behind it.
They were yesterday morning brought to the Office,
from different watch-houses, and underwent an exa-
mination before Mr. threes. Some of the parties
who had been attacked were ptevented from attend-
ing through the effects of the wounds and ill treat-
ment they had received ; one man was suspected to
have been murdered, as he had not returned home,
nor had he been heard of up to the time of the exa-
minatio9, which did not conclude till near 5 o'clock.l
The gang of eleven were first put to the Bar ; their
names are as follow :—William Brookes, Wm. Burke,
Henry Lure!!, Edward Cassady, William Mesa, James
.1, Themes Howlett, Wm. Passenger, John Read,
Ikr ry Hancock, and John Smith.
Thomas Hunt, a constable of Hampstead, gave a
general description of the conduct of the armed gang
of robbers during Monday and Tuesday night, in
knocking persons down and robbing them in the
most outrageous manner.
James Friend, plumber, of Avery-row, Chelsea,
stated, that on Tuesday he, accompanied by a friend,
went to West-End Fair. About nine o'clock in the
ilevening, as he was passing through a field, near
where the fair is held, he was attacked by a gang of
robbers, supposed to amount' to 17. The first man
who seized him by the collar and arm, he was posi-
tive was the prisoner Cassady ; he was knocked
down by a bludgeon, received a stab on the right
side of his belly, but fortunately the instrument did
not proceed far. One of the villains exclaimed to his
companion who gabbed him, 4‘ Cut his guts out:—
After ill-treating him in other respects, they tore his
clothes off, and robbed him of a El Bank note, some
silver, &c. What had become of his friend and com-
panion be had not been able to ascertain ; he was
fearful he had been murdered, as he had not return-
ed home, and no trace could be made of him.
Thomas Cooke, printer, of Lang-Acre, identified
the prisoner,William Burke, as being one of the gang
who attacked him in \Vest-End Fair on Tuesday
night. The prisoner ran against him, and at the same
time one of his companions snatched at his watch-
ribbon, which fortunately broke, and they only got
his seal, with which they made off.
Richard Hinds, one of the gang of the 19, was
charged with violently assaulting and wounding Mr.
John Clark, who stated, that on Tuesday afternoon
he accompanied a friend in a single horse chaise for
a ride, and between five and six o clock, when they
were about to enter West-End Fair, their horse was
attacked by several disorderly men by various noises,
which startled the horse very much, it being a very
young one ; the conduct of the men was evidently
intended to create confusion and mischief. His friend
in CORSCe, Jnce got out of the chaise to take ewe of
the hone, and while he was sitting in the chaise by
himself, he received a very violent blow on the head
from a large stone ; the dreadful effect on his left
temple was very visible; it had caused a great effu-
sion of blood ; his coat, the outside and inside of his
hat, gave evident proofs of it, and he produced the
linen he had on at the time, which was covered with
blood. lie recognised the prisoner Hinds as being
one of the mob,but did not see him throw the stone.
George Furinan, a Head Borough of the Parish of
Hampstead, stated, that he was near the spot where
the outrage was committed, and saw the prisoner
Hinds throw the stone at Mr. Clark.
William Fletcher, another of the same gang, was
charged by Jelin Dixon, a constable of Hampstead,
on suspicion of robbing some person or persons un-
known. On searching him, two silk handkerchiefs
were found, and a hat with the name of Prettiman
in it. This statement was confirmed by Charles Read,
a special constable.
Charles Talbot and Jonas Goldsmith were charged
with being concerned with several others in robbing
Mr. Andrew *Allister, who is in the wine trade, in
.Great Puiteney-street, and who stated that he was
in West-end Fair on Tuesday evening. At about
nine o'clock the prisoners forcibly took off his hat,
and immediately afterwards the prisoner Talbot gave
him a violent blow on the bead with a stick, the pri-
soner Goldsmith at the same time made a snatch at
his handkerchief, and struck him with a bludgeon.

with robbing a Gentleman near the Fair.
