Bow-sugar.--Saturday, S. Algoma, C. Sup-
'gird, W. Woodward, C. Parsons, and J. Harrison,
were charged, some with being active in the riot on
Friday, at the Courier Office and the others with
being there present after the Riot Act had been read.
They stated generally that they went merely from
curiosity ; and Harrison added, that he wasaforeigner,
and was taken into custody while merely looking at
the illuminations. The latter statement was corro-
borated by J. Scholfield, who said he was servant to
Mr. Winter, of the Tax-office, in Somerset-house;
when the Magistrate (Mr. MINSIIULL) ordered bim to
be locked up, as it was probable some charge might I
be produced against him, and, in the interim, he would
let his master know what sort of servant he had got.
He was accordingly locked up for two hours, when he
was discharged, a Patrol being sent with him to his
master. The prisoners were then ordered to find bail,
'the Magistrate observing, that those who were found
after the Riot Act was read, might be capitally in-
dicted, but they would be more niercifdlly dealt with.
J. Oklberrg and J. Sawyer were then charged by
Conley, a Patrol, with parading down Great Russell-
street, calling out " The Queen for ever !—" Light
up !" &c. and each of them bearing in his hand a
lighted torch. Magistrate—" Twe lighted torches ?"
" Yes, your 'Woraiip ; both blazing !"—Magistrate,
" Both blazing ! Gracious GOD!" The Patrol added,
that when he told them to go away, Oldberry struck
him, and he was very roughly used. Oldberry, in
his defence, said he came out to see the lights, as he
had a right to do. Magistrate—" But why did you
buy a torch?"—" Because it was a glorious occasion,
and I thought every honest Englishman ought to re-
joice; and as I had no house to light up, I thought
I would illuminate myself." He added, that he
knew nothing of the Riot Act being read, and that
the Patrol first knocked him down, and then bid him
go away ! His head was dreadfully cut and bruised.
The Patrol then begged to add, that he had seen the
prisoner twice previously, opposite the Courier Office.
He was there (continued the Patrol) just at the mo-
ment that this bone was thrown at your Worship,
when you were reading the Riot Act at the Courier
Office door : this is the bone, your Worship, that
knocked out the candle !—Here the Patrol pulled a
large marrow-bone from his pocket, the production
of which caused no small merriment. Oldberry so-
lemnly denied being at the Courier Office; and Mr.
James, an auctioneer, who was with him, corrobo-
rated him in this particular; also declaring, on oath,
that the Patrol struck him before he uttered a word.
The Magistrate said, that torches were extremely
dangerous things, and he ordered the defendant to
find bail. Oldberry complained bitterly of this de-
cision, and said, the Patrol ought to be held to bail
for assaulting him.
John Jones, John Bruce, and Leonard Lush, were
also held to bail, for being opposite the Courier Of-
fice, and groaning, hissing, &c.
Mr. Mixsuou., in the course of the day, took oc-
casion' to observe, that very severe measures would
be adopted on future nights.
MANSION-House.—On Saturday, Rook was'
charged with heading a mob who were destroying
the windows, &c. of such persons who did not illu-
minate their houses, in the neighbourhood of Aldgate;
and Crow with attempting to rescue him. A
Gentleman, who was passing, remonstrated with
Rook on the mischievous effects of his conduct, and
advised him to desist.'when he made a contemptuous
reply, and crying out, " Come on my boys r led the
mob down Jewry-street, where they broke a great
number of windows. They proceeded with the same
violence in Aldgate, and all the way to Tower-hill
they broke the windows of such houses as were not
illuminated. At Tower-hill the witness got some
Police Officers to take the prisoner into custody,
which they effected, amidst a shower of stones, bricks,
ind such missiles. Rook said, that as he passed an
oil-shop, where they were distributing links, they
gave him one amongst the rest, which he lighted,
add went to see the illumination with it, but denied
that be had ever thrown any stones, or done in-
jury of any kind ; wben Rook and another were
taken into custody, Crow told them that the tailors
of his country had more courage than the men in
this, and used other language to excite the mob to
resist the Civil Authority. Crow said, he had taken
rather too much liquor in celebrating the acquittal
of her blijesty, and bad been with others to see the
illuminations, bat he denied that he had been guilty
of any breach of the peace, or had excited the people
to resist the Officers. In proof of which he said, when
the Officers arrested him he went quietly with them.
This was admitted by the Officers, and Crow was
discharged with a severe reprimand from the LORD
Klima. Amongst others which suffered was the
private house of the LORD MAYOR, in which a num-
ber of windows were broken. Rook was ordered to
find bail.

QUEEN-SQUARE.—Saturday, a number of Special .1
Constables were sworn in at this Office, to aid in the
preservation of the peace. Messrs.Wnirs and MARX-
LAND were in attendance at the Secretary of State's
Office; and Mr.RAYNSFORD at this Office, till nearly
lone o'clock on Sunday morning, to receive.the report
of the Officers every half hour.
Samuel Lawless was remanded, charged with steal-
ing a crate of glass, from a shop-door at Hammer-
smith. The property was found at his lodgings, as
was also a quantity of harness, stolen from a Gentle-
man in the same neighbourhood.
Elizabeth Sones was also remanded, charged with
stealing a watch from the person of %V. Pratt, in a
public-house, in Pye-street, Westminster, whither he
had foolishly accompanied her.
GUILDHALLTWO coachmen, named Tuck and
'Town, were charged With stealing a truck, the pro-
perty of Messrs. Wright and Andrews. ironmongers,
in Smithfield. It appeared the prisoners had been
drinking, and seeing the truck unemployed, Town
got into it, and Tuck agreed to draw it to their tesi-
dence in Moorfields, on condition that they changed
stations on their may back. They were, however,
overtaken in Jewin-street, and conveyed to the Comp-
ter. Mr.Wriht said he had enquired into their cha-
racter, and fund them to be good ; he only wiAied
them to be admonished on Cie foolishness of their
conduct ; but he much regretted that the Magistrate
had not the power of sending his porter to priJewell,
for leaving the truck in Smithfield .at riiDlit. The
prisoners were discharged.
