and put in bail to the charges preferred against them.
Major Cartwright arrived at Leamington on Monday,

waited upon the agent for the prosecution, Mr. Spur-

OVTItAGE COMMITED BY A PARTY OP .EFOlf..
MISTS AT DRILL
The circumstance of parties going out to drill
having been much talked about hero, two persons,
viz. John Shawcross, of Blossom-street, Salford. and
James Murray, of Withy Grove, Manchester. set out
this morning about one o'clock, for the pprpoie of
ascertaining this fact. Pn their way towards Mid-
dleton, these two persons passed several squads WhO
were in regular marching order, and they heard a
great many more parties calling to each other, and
from the answers being more distant, every time
-they were repeated, supposed the 'fields fOr some ex-
tent containad different parties. The place appointed
for a general muster was Whitemoss, between Mid-
dleton and Oldham. When Murray and Shawcross
arrived at the plate, there were at least 500 men at
drill; the reater part were drilled in a body; there
were also tletached squads of fifteen or twenty each.
It eras no bulf-rist three o'clock A, 11r. 'and nearly
`bay-light ; Missies-ow and Murray were within 50
yards -of B.(maiit Oody ; a boy of the name of Ray-
ner, who had been sent by Shawcross and Mur-
ray to hear what was passing, came back to
them and said, " the persOns at drill say, here is
Gingerbread Jack coming," (meaning Murray),
ff d—n him, we'll pay him, if he comes here."—
Shaweross then wished to go away, seeing the eyes
of the persons at drill fixed- upon them—the crowd,
on seeing them both go away, said, " D—n 'em, at
'em", and some of them came after them, and said,
"Come back, come back." Being still pursued, %T-
-ray and Shawcross fled towards a lane, where they
were overtaken, and asked what they were doing
there? Murray said, it was curiosity brought them.
Near one hundred persons then attacked Murray and
awcioss with sticks, stones, and their feet. Some
ono knocked Shay, cross into the ditch by a blow on
the head and then cl.lled out, " Kill him—murder
..im!" While in the dit.h, one of them kicked Shaw-
cross, who for some time remained senseless s when
he recovered, he found them still beating him, and
on his calling " Murder!" they said, " D—n him,
finish him." After a few more blows, he was left ap-
parently dead,' but he was enabled to get over a
hedge, and with some difficulty crawled to Middle-
ton, and has been since gut to Manchester. Doctor
Oilier, .v:Yro has examined him, is of opinion that a
deep cut on Sawcrciss's lip has been done by some
sharp instrument; the back and loins of Shawcross
have been batenao a jelly, and he is now confined
to his-bed, and likely to remain there some
Murray was More abused, if possible, than Shawcioss,
and has been brought home in a chaise, and is now
confined to his bed. ilia thighs and legs have been
dreadfully beaten by bludgeons. Their depositions
have been taken by the Magistrates.
COIN sEXCHANOt, MARK-LANE, AVOUST 18.—We
had but Fettle English Wheat at market to-day, for
which Monday's prices were obtained, but the trade
was lseavy in consequence of tl,e continuance of fine
weather, and an expected increase of surply of new
Wheat. -Oats fully support Mo iday's prices. Fine
Barley is more ensaired assn-, bat there is no ix-
mend for the inferior valaies. In Beans ara Peas •
there it no 'Asa atien.
