RIOTS ON THE QUAYS, DUBLIN.

The circumstances connected with the extraordinary
proceedings that took place on Monday evening at
Dublin, as briefly mentioned in the STAR of yesterday,
underwent a long investigation on Tuesday, at the Col-
lege•street, Police office, in that City. before the Magis-
trates Aldermen FLRNIIIiiG and Sir GARRETT
and Counsellors G AbBETT and Cols. The following
appeared in evidence :
Peace Officer Ross sworn—Between six and seven, a
number of Gentlemcn called at the police office, College.
street, to say that there was a crowd assembled at Car.
lisle bridge and the quays, throwing stones at a yeas-1
lying in the centre of the river, and that the persons on
board were obliged to fire in their own defence; west
there with a party of six peace•of6cers and watchmen;
at the end of D'Olier-streek, saw a number of mete
throwing stones ; took three of them into custody : saw
some shots fired from the boat; could not swear by whom.
Mr. J. Ferguson, 5, G ranby-t ow, deposed, that he was
one of the. Gentlemen alluded to by peace-officer Ross.
In coming down Backville-street, at 20 minutes to eight
o'clock, saw a crowd on the bridge, and about the
quays, and, on looking over the walls his attention was
directed to a small figure on the top of the mast of a
pleasure-boat, lying about 20 yards from the wall, at
which some stones were thrown; the party becoming
numerous, and the stones flying in showers, it warout
of the power of the persons on board to remove the ob-
noxious figure as the risk of their lives; saw some shots
fired from the boat; could not say by whom; saw so
stones thrown at a time by the mob, consisting of a great
number of mea and boys ; thinks the first shot fired was
blank cartridge; remained until the horse police came.
Mr. John Walsh examined.— At ten minutes to eight
o'clock, going down Burgh quay, saw a crowd of men,
boys, and women, leaning over the wall, and on in-
quiring the cause, was shewn a figure at the mast head
of a pleasure boat, which appeared to be a Mercury
trampling on the clouds; saw it plainly; but saw no
ribbons flying from it ; it was painted a reddish colour ;
a boy went up to the mast head, and removed the little
figure; this seemed to do away with the angry feeling
of the multitude.

Mr. Horan, 15, Lower Sackville-strett, examined.—
Was sitting in his drawing room, when he saw a crowd
of people running towards the pavement under repair,
near Carlisle-bridge, at about half-oast seven o'clock;
asked a man whom he saw with a stone, what he was
about, when hesaid the bloody Orange villains on board
a boat, lying in the river, wanted to trample on them,
but that they would G* do them ;" a person wearing white
trousers came from under an awning, and filed, six
times out of a double barrelled fowling piece ; a man
near him was wounded by the first shot slightly in the
face, but on the discharge of the second barrel, his hand
was torn up, and a boy wounded in the eye; each time
a shot was fired the mob continued to fling volleys of
stones, .crying out, the bloody Orangemen would
murder them; the shot fired cut of the fowling piece
was that of the smallest slat.

Mr. Brown, from whom the image was bought.,
examined. He stated, that he had it for a sign for up-
wards of two years, and it was only on Friday lastibat
his son sold it to a gentleman, who bad agreed before
with himself on the price ; it was purchased for a vane
to the boat, and was made of shogt.ison; it represented
Mercury with a caduces, and was painted about iciir
weeks since, as near a flesh colour as possible ; there was
no shamrock under the feet, but a representation of a
cloud, and he could not conceive how any person could
take it for a shamrock; the vessel was called the Cor-
sair ; the mob threatened himself for attempting to calm
their violence.

Here the three Gentlemen taken en board the vessel were
brought forward, and they stated their names to be Richard Kean,
jun. John Creery, and Robert Boyd.
The Magistrates asked several times, were there any
persons present to snake a charge against them, or
ready to identify them, when no person appearing, the
Magistrates went into the interior office for some time.
On the return of the Magistrates, some further witnessee
were examined.

Brady, the boy who had been wounded in the eye,
was next examined.—He stated that there were two or
three double shots fired before he was hit; he saw the
person who fired go back several times, as he could not
take aim in consequence of the showers of stones ; it
was about the sixth discharge that he was wounded;
he saw one volley of the stones thrown at the fig Ore,
and all the others were thrown at the men ha the boat ;
.beard the people say, •. fire away at them ;" that was,
to pelt them with stones.
Magennis, a servant, saw the
the riot ; the mob were throwing stones incessantly ;
some of them said the figure represented " bloody Ha-
milton, who was turned a devil, and was trampling the
shamrock in spite under foot;" the stones were thrown
for a full half hour, before the shots were fired, and he
saw one of the persons on board struck with a stone on
the shoulder ; he attempted to speak to the people front
the boat, but he could not-be beard from the noise and
clamour which prevailed.
Some other evidence of minor importance was afterwards entered
Into, but at too late an hour to glee In detail.
The Magistrates then adjourned the anal decision on this tramme-
-1 don until next day, all the parties being kept over in custody,

Baosszts, JULY B.—The British Colonial Messenger
passed through here this morning, on his way from St. Pctersburgh
to Loudon, with dispatches.
His Roy Highness tlie Prince of ORANOS arrived
at Brussels on Saturday last.
The ball given by Mr. FancussoN, of Craigdarroclii
on Tuesday sinnight, in honour of his election, as M.P.
for the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, was numerously
and fashionably attended. In the contest, we have heard
that the hopes and wishesof the Ladies went along with
him ; and certainly on this happy occasion he was
zealously supported by the fair. The dicers of the
Kirkcudbright Yeomanry appeared in their graceful
uniforms. Dancing contmenced at ten old( ck, and was
kept up with great spirit till one, when supper was
announced. About 130 sat down to supper, which was
served up in elegant style by Mr. Malcolmson. The
wines were choice and in great variety, among which
the Champagne and Burgundy were decidedly the fa-
vourites. The health of the Member of the S:ewartry
was drank with three times three; and he, after th ,nking
'his friends warmly for the kind wekome they had given
him on his return to his native country, proposed "The
Ladies," which was received and drank with the met
enthusiastic acclamations. Alter supper, dancing re-
commenced, and continues till broad day-light gave
the signal for departure, and a happier and mote truly
ijoyous meeting never et.livened the ancient bu•gh of
kcudbright.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE:

SALISBURY, JULY 12.

Robert Banks and Isaac Hadd were ttied upon an in-
dictment for the theft of one hen from the premi,es
William Banks, of Lacock, on the night of the 47th of
June last. The singularity in this case was, that Robert
Banks was a blind man., and, as stated by the counsel,
although not put in evidence, being irrelevant to the
charge, a great adept in matters of this kind, and a very
good sl•Ot at birds on the wing, levelling his piece by
the instinct•of heating,
By the testimony of the constable, it was proved thati
Banks was GI% the premises at the time of the robbery,
and an hour afterwards the stolen hen was found in a
saucepan on the fire at his house. The property was
identified by the owner by the feathers on the head and
neck, and a mark on the eye. The only evidence against
Budd was, that he was found in Banks's house when the
stolen property was found there; and his voice, crying
Hoy," as a signal on the prosecutor's premises, was
sworn to by the constable.
The Jury found Banks Guilty, and acquitted the other prisoner.
The Learned Judge sentenced Banks to twelve months impri•
sonmem in the House of Correction; and admogished Hudd as to
his future course of life, reminding hint of a capital conviction
against him four years ago.
Wtiliawa Quinton, a bricklayer, aged fo►ty•four, was
indicted for an assault, with intent to defile Sarah
Elkins, on the 19th of June las,. at Bridport, in the
county of Wilts. There was also a count in the indict-
ment for a common assault. _ •

• The only witness against the prisoner was the prose-
eutriz, a decent looking hard working woman, about his
own age. 13oth parties were married, and the prosecu•
%sir had six children. The Court was more crowded
uith Ladies than on any previous day of the Assizes at
this place. They all retired before the commencement of
the trial, at the instance of the Judge.
The facts established against the prisoner were, that
he joined the' prosecutrix on her road out of Salisbury
to her Owtt residence in the afternoon of the day in
question. She knew who he was, and where he lived,'
and they talked on the road about the weather and the
crops. At length, in the second field out of Bridport,
the prisoner offered his arm, and offered to carry her
bundle. These offers were rejected. He then tendered
a kiss at partingl but this was resisted, and in a struggle
the parties fell to the ground, when the prisoner took a
very unbecoming liberty with the person of the prose-
cutr ix. She screamed murder, and told him his master
was coming ; upon which he got up and ran away.
About a week afterwards he appeared.to a _surnmons
issued by a magistrate, and was then committed for
the 'offence.

The prisoner, a diminutive and silly looking man;
with a remarkable vacancy of countenance, being called
upon for his defence, said, that in smuggling for a kiss
the woman fell upon hlm, and that, whatever be did,
was entirely %y accident in endeavouring to get away
from her, which he did as soon. as he could. .He also
called two witnesses, who proved, that seven years ago
he was confined in the parish poor house for the space,
of two years lot insinity, and had since been frequently
out of his wits.
• The Jury found him Gaily of the common assault cooly, and he
was sentenced to six months' confinement in gaol forth. essauk.
Ann Davis, who was convicted of, wilful and corrupt perjury on
• the first. day'of the Auises, was brought up at the openldg of
Coon Jay; and sentenced to six months' iMprissidifilits
RIOT AT TROWERIDOL • • .
. Geo rge Reynolds; John Gregory, Joke Pat 1, Na.
,•,ilsaisiel Pearce, Daniel Davis, and John Thompson, ware,
• placed at the bar, charged with riotously assemblinv
on the 7th of May last, at Trowbridge. Other counts
'cha-gedthem with destroying a guard-house, rescuing
.a,.prisoner,therefrom, and committing an assault on W.
E. Waldron, Esq. Magistrate, while in the execution of

his duty.
John Foley, a constable at Trowbridge, proved the
assembling and riotous behaviour of the mob in the
market place. At nine in the evening there were about
1500 persons round a baker's shop of the name of
Marsh. In spite of the constables, they broke open his
house, and entered the shop. Mr. Waldron, with a
corps of special constables, then arrived, and endea-
voured to protect the house and property of Marsh ;
they were assailed with stones, and unable to effect their
object. Gregory was then apprehended as a ringleader.
The mob next went to the factories : they were met
there by the constables, whom they violently assaulted.
One man was taken into, custody, and tarried to tile
guard-house ; he had no stoner been lodged there thin
the mob attacked the roof and doorx•wah stones mid

crew bars, and succeeded in lit-erating the prisoner.
All the constables were more or less injured; one had
his eye knocked out. All the gas -lamps in the town
were broken and extinguished. At day-break the mob
dispersed, but in the course of the night upwards of 100
houses were broken open. This witness spoke positively
to Davis having been one of the rioters.
Several svitoessei corroborated al% statement.

AU the prisoners, except Pearce, Gregory, and Parnell, were
identified. The Jury . tuund all the others Guilty, and. acquitted
these three.
John Parnell, Charles Hooper, John T illey,aad Thomas
Turner, were convicted of a riot in the market place, on
the ['turning of the Bth of May, where they destroyed
the vegetables brought for sale, and overpowered the
constables who opposed them.
Joseph Bever* was put upon his trial for the same offence: It was
proved that he was intoxicated, and be was ociungesi.

RIOT AT BRADFORD.

Henry Banks, Jones Alley, Joseph Derrett, and Ain
Stokes, were indicted for a :tot, on the 13th of May, in
the market place of Bradford. It appeared that their
proceedings were not accompanied by. any violence be-
yond the upsetting.of some stalls. They set themselves
against potatoes being sold above a cettain priCe, and
actually obliged one purchaser at a higher rate to take
her potatoes back again.—They were acquitted.
Ana Rig was brought op this morning, and Informed by Mr.
Justice Gazscts Maim would recommend that her life should be
soared; but what would be the amount of punishment allotted to
Ler he did sot know.

The son of Sir G. Cayky, who is a minor, and there.
fore the action is brought in his father's name, being on
is return Irons Harrowgates where he was on a visit,
Ncked up in a carpet bag a quantity of linen, pan.
tAloons, stockings, shooting jacket, &c. to the value of
3.5 Z. which, with a portmanteau and hatbox, he sent IQ
the detendant, who is a cattier, to be taken to York,
and thence forwarded to Bronspton, his father's resi•
dente. The portmanteau and hat boa wete directed,
but the carpet bag was not. When given to the carrier,
he observed the carpet bag was not directed ; but being
told they all belonged to the same gentleman, and were
to be sent to the same pldce, he took them in charge.
Ti e portmanteau and hat boa reached their destination,
but the carret b..g did not reach its destination; and to
tect.ver value this action WAS bronglit.

The carrier at York•swore that he carpet-bag nap. came Into
his.possession, and between these contradictory statements the
Jury were to determine.—Verdict fur the defendant.
Eduard .Warsh, aged 30, Anthony Miller, aged 19,
and Henry Town, aged $2,, were indicted for having,
on the 26th of April list, as embled at Addingharn,
with 'more tbau fifty Other persons, 'and having begun
to demolish a cotton mill; the property of Jeremiah
Horsfall, of that place. _ _

Mr. BLACKBURNK stated the case for the prosecution.
He referred to the 52d Geo. 111. cap. 150, as the statute
by which this offence was made a felony without benefit
of clergy. He believed he should be able to give such
evidence as would fully satisfy the Jury that the pri-
soners had been guilty of committing the serious offence
with which they were now charged.
, Timothy Lawson, the foreman employed by the pro-
secutor, described the tramaction. He saw the mob
spin oath, and ordered the mill to be closed, and all the
upper windows to be taken out. When the mob ap-
proached closer, he asked them what was their object
in coming there in a body ? They said they came to
break the power looms ; he told them he pitied their
condition, and would relieve them if he could ; but he
was determined they should not break the power looms.
They said if they could not come in quietly, they would
come in by force. He replied, that he had the means
of defence within, and would repel force by force. The
.nsoii had approached on the north side, but when this
conversation had passed. they came round to the south
.ode. One of their number flied a pistol, and the mill
was then assailed with stones, which were instantly
'thrown back, and •stoaes collected in the mill were
thrown on them. Several of tilb. machines were broken
by the stones; the affray lasted for nearly half an hour,
and was dnly put an end to by firing on the mob. He
saw Edward Marsh in the snob, and heard him address
one of the men in the mill. Marsh called that man by
his name, and, shaking his fist at him, said, "I know
.thee, and if thee don't be killed to-day, thee will to-
morrow."—Cross-examined. - There might be 5 or 600

Marsh speak .to the man in the mill, he called on t';e
man to mark him ; witness did not suffer the mob to
come near enough, except in one instance, to do any
injury, but •by stones; in that one instance he saw•

soners to mercy on amount of their good character, and the third on

The Court was occupied during the rest of the day in 'trying ler-
' ceny cases of no interest.

WORCESTER, Juiy
Richard Crook was indicted for having assaulted Miss
Letitia Tandy, with intent to commit a rape. The
second count of the indictment simply charged the pri;
soner with having committed a common assault upon
the prosecutr ix. -
This case excited most extraordinary interest, as the
character of a very beautiful girl, only 13 years of age,
who was the daughter of i very respectable farmer, was
toncerned in the Issue of tht case.

The Court was crowded to excess by almost all the beauty at the
county f Worcester.
Mr. o
Justice BUAROI/011, on requesting the Ladies
would retire, before this case was entered upon, ob-
served, that it Away: gave him pain to desire the with-
drawing of the fair sex from a court of justice. Upon
the present occasion, howeier, he felt convinced that the
present case was one which could not by possibility afford
them interest.

The Ladies then withdrew.
Mr. Cie.aLts Psur.urs Conducted the prosecution, and stated the
facts of the case.
Miss Letitia Tandy was then called. She appeared to
be about 17, though her actual age was but 13. In
stature she was unusually tall, and in. figure she was
beautifully formed. Her countenance was of a most

Aing description, her eyes being dark, her mouth
,andsome, and her nose, though deviating' from the
right line of the Grecian, was most fascinating. Her
youth alone could repel anything like desire in any man,
and she was most respectably dressed. Her simple
narrativt after being sworn, was, that she went to Per.
shore fait on the day stated in the indictment, which
was the last day of the fair. In the course of the ev'en-
ing she was accosted by the prisoner in the White Horse
public house, where she had taken shelter from the rain.
When she was endeavouring to pr teed home, as he
acted civilly, she did not reject his attentions, though he
was much beneath her in rank; and afterwardi he of-
fered to conduct her home, as she was without any pro;
tection, because it was as:late as ten o'clock at night*—
She was stopping on a visit at that time in the house of
a brother in law, at Mount Pleasant farm; close to Per-
shore, and in her way thither she had to_pass a stile
which crossed into some fields that would indi-
rectly lead to the house. of her brother in law.' Over
that 'vile the prisoner forced • her, ind after pro-
.ceeding with some rapidiT far a jsegan to
take indecent liberties with; she resisted, and .the
prisoner knocked her down. After having est up, Ire
renewed his steack, add caught hold of her frock, whilst
she was screaming strider." The string of her frock
broke at that 'intent, 41441,being, • liberated from his
grasp, she ran is east as she could in one direction, and
on hearing her scresming .1 mut der" again, the pliseber
rah in another direction.
Mr. Ct./ay/00n, for the prisqner, closely cross-esa-
, mined her as to whether she bad lux first drawn in the

•
prisoner to make entails advances to her, but, wish
great simplicity Of manntr, and apparent purity of mind,'
she denied all the insinuations of the Learned Counsel.
Other witnesses were called, who proved that, heating
the cry of " murder," they proceeded intp4the field.
whence it proceeded, and there saw the prosecutrix in
a situation which evidently shewed that she had been
maltreated. Her frock was ripped open behind, and,
she was also otherwise maltreated.

The surgeon who had been called in to attend her, stated that she
had been grossly maltreated; he found her in a state of delirium.
On his cross-examination by Mr. Ceawcins, he was asked, whe-
ther delirium had proceeded from drinking too much rum and water?
He distinctly answered that it was a delirium evidently proceeding
from :tome other cause.
Mr. cuswoon then addressed the Jury at some length for the
prisoner, and stated that the whole accusation was unfounded.
The Lillirrusd Counsel then called witne,ses, both male
and female, who most positively stated that the prOse-
cutrix had actually invited the prisoner into her society
by words and winks. Some of them, however, equivo-
cdted most grossly in their cross•examination, and• we
understand Chit two of them particularly bore the basest
chararters.

Mr. Prinurs made a very eloquent reply.
Mr. Justice BURROUGH read over the whole of the evidence in
summing up, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
His LORDSHIt remarked, that there was a clear subornation of
perjury in the defence ; and passed a sentence of oue year's impri- '
mimes, upon the prisoner, and said that he must find securities for
his good behaviour for one year subsequent.
