The LORD MAYOR stated, that although he had
complied with the desire expressed by the pretended
Amon, in his letters, he had not yet received a
munication ; but the circumstance did not disap-
point him, as he never considered the documents
genuine. He added his fears that the description
given of young Watson was not so accurate as it,
ought to be,and said he would take means to correct it.
William Gunnell and Thomas Tyrrell, two draymen, '
were called, and first put to the bar.
The Loan Ma.vott inquired of John Roberts, the,
boy of Mr. Beckwith, whether he recollected seeing
either of them in or about the shop of his master, on
the day of the riots?—The witness replied in the

fugitive.
Mr. Griffin called.—The first man that broke the
windows of Mr. Beckwith's shop was certainly a
drayman ; tut I fear it is not possible for me to re-
collect either of the parties stow at the bar.
Here the LORD MAYOR ordered the prisoners each
to put on his hat, when the last witness continued—
The mart who broke the windows had, 1 think,
maller features than the prisoners ; but the shortest
priviner of the two (Gunnell) I certainly saw
in
likinner.street.
John Wilson.—l am a private in the first regiment
of Life Guards, and was in the Minories on the day
iftbe riots, where I saw a man very active in the
Di& I cannot say it was a drayman, but he wield.
els weapon like an axe very dexterously, and made
sew at my arm.
The Loan Mavon.—The shorter man (Gunnell)
l.sm myself, but who can speak to Tyrrell ?
• Mr. Griffin and the boy Roberts were recalled, but
could not identity him.
Brand, the Marshalman.—The prisoner, my Lord,
ms pointed out to me as one of the rioters, and
when I went to take him into custody, he iaid °he
knew he was wanted.
The Loan Mavon.—What account do you give
of yourself, Tyrrell ?
Prisoner.—My Lord, I deny being in the mob.
Joseph Page.—l am a dray Irian, and heard Tyrrell
fay Le was at the Meeting in Spa-fields, but he said
to more. Gunnell said he carried a very heavy
piece, and was obliged to obtain a lighter.
The LORD MAYOII.—How have you, Tyrrell, been
lately employed ?
Prisoner.—My Lord, I have been out of employ-
ment for some weeks; I used to work with the wit-
Lass Page.
At this period of the investigation the Loan
MAYOR was summoned to attend a Court of Lieute-
aanci at Guildhall, from which he did not return
for two hours, when the eaamination was resumed.
Mr. klir4ish.—l was passing Skinner-street the
day of the riots, and saw the mob turning towards the
house of Mr. Beckwith ; they had a flag flying, and
I saw a drayman advance to the shop, and with the
butt end of a musket breaic in the windows. I'he
piece with which he did it was very large and heavy.
• E. Hone, the foreman to Mr. Beckwith. confirmed
the testimony of the last gentleman, as to the outrage
upon the shop being first committed by a drayman.
The Loan MAYOR.—Can you, Tyrrell, bring evi-
'llence as to where you were on the day of the riots?
Prisoner.—l can, my Lord. I was in Spa•fielda
to that day
.for about half an hour, and then went to
I public-house. 1 afterwards went to another public-
house, where I remained until four o'clock. A person
named Gossett was with me.
The LORD MAYAR.TheR let the individual you
mention be brought forwaid to-morrow. The case
against you is slight, and I shall not detain you
longer than I can help. As to Gunnell, there is so
much against him that he must be kept till Monday.
Remanded.
Mr. Harmer, the Solicitor, addressed the Court
is behalf of Carter,i
and stated that several friends
were in attendance to give him a character.
The Luau MAYOR.—The fullest consideration up
10 the present time has been given to the different
wet, and the best opinion taken which could be ob.
The result of these are, that the prisoners
drould all be indicted for the felony in breaking the
louse of Mr. Beckwith, and plundering it of arms,
ke. The City Solicitor does not wish to decide too
rapidly, and though all may be committed for the
ale ace stated, there are of course shades of distinc-
in the guilt Of the parties. •
3. Mr. Nobler.—lndependent of the breaking and
"tering, there are two merchants' clerks who can
to.. • prove tat Carter was engaged with the mob, and
b
he uttered certain violent expressions. He con-
