TOE LATE RIOTS.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
fesperchT the LORD MAYOR received a letter from
about HO miles from London, informing him,
on Friday last, a young"man, in all respects an-
the description of young Watson, and having
trance of a person who had travelled a con-
, distance on foot, called into a public house
and obtained refreshment. He expressed a
anxiety to see the latest London papers, and
he had perused them. he expressed much dis-
, at the result of the riots. He slept at
house in the same town, where he appeared
anxious about an account of the riots, and
servant whether there were two ways out
louse consequence of this informasion,
tomer, the City Marshal, quitted London by
it last night, for the place whence the infor-
, came.
At a late hour last night no tidings had arrived of
si of this rash youth.
Some progress has been made in tracing the his-
•of the proceedings of the father and son during
twelvemonth. Before they left their residence

in procuring his money, he removed to Tot-

, inform his patients of the place of his resi.
nor has the motives of his concealment been
awn. There can be little doubt, however,
'arose from distress and poverty. Indeed the
and his son decamped from their residence at
_....quare, a few days previous to the meeting
Spafields, without paying the reat that was due
• them. What became of them in the interval
• transpired. It was conjectured that young
had been up all night previous to the meet-
in company with Preston, as both of them ap-
intoxicated on that day. Old Watson is said

LAW INTELJJOENCE.

COURT OF CUANCERY, DECEMBER 18..
CLANDESTINE MARRIAGE.

BAZELY IN THE MATTER OF LATELY.
Sir ARTHUR PICIOra said, be hoped his Lordship
would not think it too great a liberty to ask him to
receive a petition from Mrs. Barely. He telt a dit-
acuity in making the request, as the' Lady had re-
fused to sign the settlement, as reported by the
Master, to secure her property. The nature of the
petition he had to present was only to ask for a fur-
ther sum for her maintenan:e.
The LORD CHANCELLOR---" I don't know how I
can refuse any petition from her. I have had an in-
terview with the Master, and the settlement is going
on in a way that it makes no consequence whether
she signs it or not."—Motion granted.

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.
Yesterday William Anderson was put to the bar in-
dicted for the wilful murder of John Levi, by inflict

ing certain wounds upon his body with a knife.
The case for the prosecution being opened—
Richard Hollier was called, and deposed, that he
was a goldsmith and jeweller by trade. On the 9th
of November last he was in company with the de-
ceased at the Cart and Horse, Sutton street, Clerken-
well. Between eleven and twelve o'clock that night
the prisoner came into the public-house: witness had
remained in the house from seven o'clock to that

time, but had taken very little liquor; he had been
playing at cards the greatest part of the time. An-
derson came in, and said " I will play any man at

cards for £5." Witness was pointed out by two Of
three persons to play with him, but he declined.—
The prisoner was a little affected by drink, and said
to witness, " Why you have no money I suppose in
your pocket." Upon this witness was a little offend-
ed, and said that he would play him for £5. The
prisoner said he would only play for a shilling and
something to drink. They sat down to play at cards,
but were interrupted by the landlady of the house,
who said she would have no cards in her house at
that time of night. The prisoner remarked (alluding
to witness's watch), " You will be drawn before you
get home." At this witness laughed, as well as
.Levi, and the former said, 84 I am not afraid of your
drawing it." The prisoner at this addressed the de-
ceased, saying, " I will play you for X 5," and
accused him of not having any money in his pocket.
Levi said, 44 D—n y—r ey—s, I will produce ses in
an hour." The prisoner said, " I know what sort
of chap you are, and I will bl—dy well lick you."—
He then challenged Levi to fight, but the deceased
refused. The prisoner called for a mop, saying,
" D—n him, I will mop his foul mouth out." He
then took up a pint pot, and attempted to throw it
at Levi's head, declaring that he would cut his
bl—dy head in two ; but he was prevented. The
landlady' endeavoured to turn the prisoner out, but I
did not succeed. Anderson again challenged Levi
to fight, but he refused. He continued the challenge,
and Levi said, •' I suppose I must have a turn with
you." The landlady endeavoured to dissuade him.
The deceased went out first, and Anderson followed.
The prisoner had his hands behind him under his
coat. The deceased expressed a wish not to fight is
the mud, but on some turf, which v'as near at hand;
but the prisoner said, " No, d—n your eyes, I will
fight here." They immediately fell to fighting, and
they both fell : they got up aoti fought again : the
second round lasted about a minute : they both fell
again, but the deceased was uppermost both times.
,Levi got up, and staggered towards a grocer's shop,
and fell into the arms of a man of the name of Hut-
ton, who cried out, 66 He is cut, he is cut." The
deceased made a noise, as if he were about to faint
away. The prisoner was all this time lying on the
ground. Levi was carried to a Mr. Taylor's, a
doctor, close by, and did not live more than two
minutes. Witness helped to carry the deceased to
the Doctor's shop. From the commencement of the
fight until Levi died it might be a quarter of an
hour. Witness, with others, went then in search of
the prisoner, and found him standing near the same
place where the fight took place, covered with blood,
speaking to a watchman. Directly he came op he
told the watchman to take Anderson is the watch-
house : saying, 44 He bas killed a man." No answer
was made. A man of the name of Knight gave
charge of him, upon the prisoner's saying, 48 Who
will give charge of me ?" The deceased was a silver-
imith.
Cross-examined.—Witness was acquainted with
almost all who were present in the public-house but
the prisoner. Anderson's head was cut by the fall
he received on the ground; the deceased was always
uppermost in the falls.
Examined by Mr.JusticeßAYLEY.—Those persons
who witnessed the fight were not so near as to be
able to give the deceased any blows ' • no one could
have cut him but the prisoner; both rounds lasted
about a minute each.
William Hutton was at the Cart and Horse pub-
lic-houseon the 9th of November : he went there, in
company with Levi, about eight o'clock. Anderson,
when he came, between eleven and twelve o'clock,
appeared a little intoxicated. He corroborated the
statements of the former sitness in every particular.
No ring was made for the fight. As soon as Ander-
son had said, in answer to Levi's request to fight on
the turf, 44 No, you b—g--r, you shall have n here,"
he ran up to the deceased. After the second round,
Levi staggered to the other side of the way, and fell
into witness's arms, saying, 66 He has cut mei—
Witness asked, 44 Who ?" and the deceased replied,
" The man." These were the last words Levi spoke
before lie died. There were about nine persons wit-
nessing the fight. He did not search the ground for
a knife that night, but did next morning ; he did not
perceive any sharp instrument at that time on the
grodnd.
Cross-examined.—The prisoner came into the
house a little in liquor, challenging any man to play
at cards for £5. Levi went out before the prisoner.
Two persons in the public-house persuaded Anderson
not to go'ont to fight.
Examined by Mr. Justice BAYLZY.—It was not
possible for the prisoner to have taken any thing out
of his pocket from the commencement of the fight to
the end of it; and in the opinion of witness, the
prisoner must have had an instrument in his hand
before the fight, to cat the deceased, if at all in his

possession.
Daniel Parsonage also knew the deceased, and was
in company with him at the Cut and Horse on ti.e

•
evening in question. e knew the prisoner, who
came into the house abort a quarter before twelve
o'clock. He confirmed the former examinations.
When the prisoner was about to throw the phut pot
at L-vi's head, the deceased said, ,4 No, don't do
that, it will be a pity." At the time Anderson came
out of the public-house to fight, witness observed
that he had one hand h..hitid him under his coat ; on
the second round wi:ness plainly perceived Ander-
son's left arm round Levi's neck, and with his right
hand he was giving the deceased several blows about
his head and body. but principally about the head ;
Levi directly staggered to the other side of the way,
and being discovered to be stabbed, he was taken to
the doctor's, and he died on the counter. Anderson
was lying on the ground, and a man standing by
observed, AVhy, Bill, you hive killed the man."
No answer was made by him.
Cross-examined.—The deceased consinually re.
fused to go out to fight. It was no unusual thing
for one man to get another's head under his arm in
a battle, it was what was termed fibbing among the
bruisers. He had no reason to suppose that any knife
had been used in the affray until the deceased lay in
a dying state on tHis ground.
Examined by Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—Did not see
the prisoner pull any instrument out of his pocket.
After the battle had been begun, he did not think it
was possible for the prisoner to have pulled any thing
out of his pocket s while on the ground the second
time, there was a suffi:ient space of time for the pri-
souer to have pulled any thing out of his pocket, but
the deceased was lying upon him with all his weight :
in his opinion it was improbable but not impossible.
William Knight was also at the public-house on
the night in question. He knew the prisoner, and
had been so acquainted for six years. Anderson
came in a little before twelve o'clock intoxicated.
Witness said to the prisoner just before the battle,
" Bill, do not fight ; Levi has given you no provo.
cation, and why should ycu tight ?" He replied,
" D—n him, I will fight him." Anderson being
intoxicated, he thought it of little use saying any
more about it. When they were out of doors, the
prisoner objected to going on the turf, saying " D—n
you, you shall have it here." Witness, after the first
round, saw the deceased fall, but never perceived the
prisoner fall. They both fell on the second round, the
prisoner being undermost. As soon as Levi was
taken to the doctor's, Anderson was found in the
same place where he was left, covered with blood
from his face to his boots.
Cross-examined.—The prisoner came to the public-
house quite accidentally, and in liquor; could not tell
whether the prisoner had any thing in his hand or
not, nor did he observe any peculiar action of his
right hand.
Examined by Mr. Justice Bavele..--Could not say
whether he had a knife or not : prisoner had not a
great coat on : could not tell whether his cuff carne
low or not : did not see the prisoner take any thing
out of hid pocket, and thinks he could not without his
having seen it ; was certain, after they had fallen the
last time, the prisoner could not have taken any thing
out of his pocket, and stabbed the deceased.
George Payne went about eleven o'clock to the
Cart and Horse, but was not in Levi's party. Saw
the prisoner come in about twenty miuutes before
twelve, and thought him rather noisy and intoxicated :
he heard somebody advise the plis'Aier and the de-
ceased to go out and tight. He thought the prisoner
could, during the fight, have taken an instrument
from his pocket.
Cross-examined.—Saw no knife in the prisoner's
hands before the fight commenced.
William Knowles was landlord of the Sun-dial
public.house, which was opposite the Cart and Horse.
A man came into his house about a quarter past
twelve o'clock, on the 9th November, covered with
brood : he said nothing, but walked out again.
James Hosier was a watchman in Goswell.street,
which was close to Sutton-street. Saw the prisoner
at the bar on the 9th of November, just as the clock
struck twelve, leaning against a post at the corner of
Sutton street. Witness said, " Iloilo, my friend, what
do you do here ?" He replied, " I have been used
very ill. A set of rascals have cut and beat me."l
Upon being asked who they were that had ill used him,
or which way they had gone, he said, " No, I cannot
tell." Witness said, " Why, you are covered with
blood and mud." " Yes," he replied," I am cut all
to pieces." Witness asked, " Where are you cut ?"
and he said, " Over the head, and all over." A man
then came up, and said, 4‘ Here is your hat." The
prisoner said, " This is not my hat ; take it again."
Another man came up and produced another hat,
which witness placed on his head. All this happened
about twelve yards from the Cart and Horse. Wit.
ness discovered a great quantity of blood in the
street, and took the prisoner into custody.
Examined by Mr. Justice Ilmtemo—Anderson's
face and clothes were all over blood.
Thomas Horn, keeper of Goswell-street watch-
house, proved that the prisoner when brought before
him was covered with blood, in front particularly.
When he came in, the prisoner said that he had beea
ill used at the Cart and Horse public-house: that
blood was on his breeches.
Frances Rowland kept the Cart and Horse public
house ; and was at home on the evening of the 9th
November: she endeavoured to put au end to the
dispute.
Cross-examined.—Levi said " I will give him a
taste." Attempted to put the prisoner out, and not
Levi.
John Hutt, Officer, produced the clothes of the
prisoner and Levi, which they wore on the 9th of
November last the back as well as the front of the
prisoner's clothes were bloody, but Levi's only in
front : they were all stained with blood. In Levi's
coat there were 19 cuts, in his waistcoat Ewe, and in
the pantaloons . about three. They appeared to be
done all by the same instrument.—(The bloody
clothes were here displayed by the Officer to the
Court.)—There was no wound except upon the head
of the prisoner.
- John Redgrave deposed, that on the 9th of. No-
vember last he was at the Hand and Apple public
house. It was near the Cart and Horse. The pri-
soner at the bar was there between ten and eleven
' o'clock, and witness saw him eating same pies wit!:
a clasp knife, and after using it he put it into his
right hand waistcoat pocket. The prisoner was a
watch finisher by trade. The blade of Anderson's
knife was about two inches and a half in length.
James lkow, , a young lad of nine years old, lived

at No. G, Allan-street, Sutton-street, near to the.C.il
and Horse public: house, and proved that some time
ago (he could not recAlect .he day), thinking his fa-
ther was late, he went to the Cart :lad Hdise pnhlic
house after his father. and heard two men taikiag
about fighting. He did not see his lather there, and
went to bed again.
The father of the lad said, that on Saturday, the
9th of November, he did come h. me late, but did
not know his boy had been seeking for him.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY conceived that
the lad could not be pressed fuither. It proved
nothing.
Mr. Taylor, the surgenn,lived at No. 74, Gnswell-
street. On the 9th of N,vember, at about twelve
o'clock, the deceased was brought to him. After his
death he examined the body, and found a cut on the
head about three quarters of an inch long : between
the mouth and the ear there was a cut, on the left
side : there were two cuts across each other, called a
crucial cut : there were other wounds upon the chest,
on the belly, an.l on the hip. Upon the inner and
upper pert of the right thigh there was a wound of
about three quarters of an inch ir: length, and 4n meta
and a half in depth : on the opposite thigh there was
a slighter cut. The wcun Is atmearei to he inflicted

deceased met with his death by the incision (in the
right thigh; the femoral artery w cot, and the de-
ceased, no doubt, died in cnnsequence. It would take
about fifteen minutes, in hi; opinion; fur a person 'of
bleed to death if the femoral artery were cur. The
deceased had also a wound in the hand, as it he hat
grasped a knife, and it was drawn from him. Sup-
posing the wound in the thigh had not been given to
the deceased, he might have continued fighting two
or three rounds without feeling the o her styinils.
Could not tell whether they were all tight:band:4
wounds.

The prisoner being called upon for his defence, sa;d
that his feelings were so much hurt by this dreadful
calamity, that he could not address the Court. Tne
tears fl.iwed from his eyes, and he was enable to pea-
ceed.—No evidence was adduced on the Nit of the
prisoner.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in summieg up, observed,
that the most important point for ::ie crotts,6:ration
of the Jury was, had the prisoner at the connieelce-
ment of the contest with Levi any deadly instrument
in his hand, with an intention of using it in such af-
fray? The law in that respect was, that it parties
fought on equal terms, and the fight was not preme-
ditated, but arose from sudden heat and passion, if
either fell by the hind of the other, the ,itf eice was
not murder, but manslaughter ; but it the parties
did not meet upon equal terms, and one took an un-
fair advantage of the other, the offence was murder.
Again, if a man in the middle of a fight caught up
a deadly instrument, which he did not before the
contest intend to use, the battle having begun upon
fair and equal terms, then it was only manslaughter.
The material question therefore was, whether the pri.
soner got the instrument in question into his hand he.
(ore or after the contest had begun; or had he placed
it in such a situation about his person as that he might
readily draw it out when he thought proper ? The
other two points to be considered were, whether I,,vi
met with his death by the wounds indicted, and whe-
ther those wounds were given by the prisorler at the
bar ? The Learned Judge then recapitulated the
whole of the evidence to the Jury, and coeclided
with recommending the Gen:lernen to lean against
the prisoner only so far a► the evidence against him
constrained them to dn.

The Jury, after minutely examining the clothes
both of the prisoner and the d.:ceasvd, consulted a
few minutes, and pronounced the paisliier—Guilty.
The prisoner, on bearing the verdict, began to wecp
bitterly.
The RECORDER adiressed him in a most awful
manner, upon the enormity of the aim:: o wl.ich he
had, after a most anxious and painful attention
the part of the Court and Jury, been convicttd, and
ordered him for execution on Thursday (to-:narrow)
morning, and his body to be given over to the sur-
geons for diss-ction. He was supported from, the bar
by the persons in attendance for that purpose.—He
seemed truly penitent.
The Court was excessively crowded during the
whole of the trial, which lasted from ten in the motn-
ing until four in the afternoon.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Susszx sat On
the Bench during the whole of the trial.
R. Simpson, S. De Wit,J. Lingan, Susannah Vil-
las, and W. rowers, were acquitted.

This morning it was currently reported in town,
that young Watson had yesterday afternoon been
taken at the village of Ealing, in a public house,

ment. He was of course discharged.

John Richards, a watch case maker, residing in
King-street, Clerkenwell, was brought up to II artoo-
garden yesterday, in the custody of Wainwright, the
officer, charged with committing a must brutal assault
on the person of Mary Slack, a woman with whom
he cohabited, although he had a wife and child.
The landlord of the house in which they resided,
stated, that hearing a dreadful riot that morning in
the kitchen, where the prosecutrix, Mary Slack, and
the prisoner lived, he went dpwn to see what was the
matter ; he found the prosecutrix lying in a seuseless
state on the floor, which was covered with blood, that
was flowing from a deep wound she had on the head,
and which she must have received from the pisoutr ;
it appeared to have been inflicted by a large China
image that stood on the mantle-piece, and which he
produced. \Vitae:: called assistance, and caused the

near two quarts of blood. the prisoner appeared in a
