UNION TIALL._

Jane .ItPherson, Junes, Catherine Donoghue, Alex. Johnson,
and Amid. Wits, were charged with robbing a foreigner. The
circumstances may be thus very shortly detailed: On Friday even-
ing the proiecutor met Donoghue in Fleet-street, and accompanied
her hoMe. Finding that he bad plenty of money, he was invited
to a neighbouring public-holise, and then again requested'to return
to the hote.e where she lived. When there the ecund time be was
attended by all tile party, who succeeded in plundering him of
between I J. and 171. in sliest., which he had round his waist in a
girdle. In addition to this, two watches were stolen from his goer-
son.—All were fully committed for trial '

The Inquest which sat at Blackburn last week on the
body of Ann Morris, the young woman drowned in the
canal n• ar that place, did not terminate until seven
o'clock on Friday evening, when the Jury returned a
verdict of Wilful Murder against James Hughes, the
soldier, who was committed by the Coroner to Lancas-
ter Castle, to take his trial for the offence. As soon as the
verdict was made known to some of the comrades of
the prisoner, a great number of whom were assem•
bled in the streets near the Inquest-room, a strong
feeling of irritation was produced amongst them.—
Having a full persuasion of the. man's innocence,
they complained loudly of the verdict, and threatened
to rescue the prisoner from the constables who-had
him in custody. Their irritation was increased by
the taunts of some of the people, and several battles
and scuffles took place during the evening. The soldiers
were at length, with some difficuky, sent to their bar-
racks by the officers, and the prisoner was immediately
sent out of town by a back way in a chaise towards
Lancaster. On the followinE evening, owing, we believe.,
to some insulting expressions addressed to one's& the
soldiers, the angry feelings which 'had been with d.ffi-'
culty subdued on the, preceding day, burst firth with
the utmost fury, A number of soldiers, with drawn
bayonets in their hands, ran about the streets, threaten-
ing and abusing everyone they met, and beating and
