(FRONI ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.)

A serimis disturbance took place yesterday ('Thursday, 31st)
at the villa of Dunkirk, distant between four and live miles
from Canterbor', which terminated in the death of eight of the
rioters (including the leader Courtnay) and two others, one an
officer of the 45th regiment, quartered at Canterbury, by name
Bennett, anti a private individual of Faversham, who were as-
sisting the magistrates in suppressing the disturbance. Seven
of the rioters are also wounded, as well as one other officer of
the 45th regiment, by the name of Pendergrass. The particu-
lars are briefly these:—
A man calling himself Sir William Courtenay, but whose real
name is supposed to be Tom or Thom, was in the month of Oc-
tober last discharged from the Kent Lunatic Asylum, although
it was feared that his mind was still unsound. It was repre-
sented to the Rev. Dr. Poore, one of the magistrates of the
count Y, on Tuesday afternoon last, that this man was exciting
the lower classes of the community residing at the villa of Dun-
kirk, Boughton, and the adjoining parishes to breaches of the
peace, by assmbling in large numbers, and using violent and
inflammatory language; Courtenay representing to them that
they were oppressed by the laws in general. but more particu-
larly by the New Poor Law ; calling upon them to place them-
selves under his command, and be would insure them not only
redress, but plenty and affluence. Nearly tine hundred of the
most determined charactet s joined him, amt marched about
the various parishes. inviting other labourers and
join them
This sham Sir William Courtenay, Knight of Malta, King
of Jerusalem, /dins Mr. Thom of St. Columb in Cornwall, made
his appearance at SittingbouTu9 on Wednesday, May 30, about

half-past 6 in the nu.rnint,, accompanied ,by about GO men,
twist of them providel wink large sticks, bludgeons, &c. Sir
William walked tutu Sutingbourne, but had a horse with him,
which was led to advance by one of his followers; he wore a
sw rd, and had on a military cloak, and was also coned with a
brace of pistols at Its belt. He and his followers cause in
quietly; the men had bread and cheese and beer, and he,a
glass of sherry, &c., at the Wheatsheaf Inn, which they left
about 9 o'clock in the morning as quietly as they came in. Sir
William gave as his reason for coming " that they girt tin for a
walk, and came purposely to see the Wheatsheal of Sitting-
bourne, of which they had heard much talk." On their return,
they stopped at the gravel pits at Murston ; he asked the men
then working there to join him and his company, offering them
plenty. of bread and cheese and beer, and a payment on Satur-
day night ; they were, however, not to be led astray by his
unaccountable talk. Onwards he went, and committed many
most outrageous enormities. He had drilled the men to
march as soldiers. Some had fire-arms, and the others
clubs. One was appointed and called their General, and
they carried a flag. On Wednesday warrants were issued
for the apprehension of Courtenay, and two others who
seemed to be leaders. This morning (Thursday), a con-
stable who bad the warrants, who was personally known to
Courtenay, went to expostulate with him, accompanied by
his brother, who was not a constable. It is undeYstood
there was no intention of executing the warrants, if there were
any resistance. When they came to the place where Sir
William and his party were encamped, Courtenay came for-
ward, and asked the brother "if he was the constable ;" ho
answered " Yes." (This was not true.) Courtenay immedi-
ately shot him, wounded him afterwards with his sword, kicked
him, and then ordered his men to throw him its a ditch, which
they did. Courtenay did not know that warrants were issued
for his apprehension, nor were they attempted to be executed.
An express was sent to the Rev. Dr. Poore of the circumstance,
and the military at Canterbury sent for, it being found imprac-
ticable to subdue them without their aid. A major and about
EX) men of the 45!h Foot arrived, when the Rev. Dr. Poore,
Mr. N. Knatchbull, Mr. Halford, and Mr. Baldock, county
magistrates, accompanied the military. They were divided
into two parties, in consequence of the rioters having moved to
a large wood. That part of the military accompanied by the
Rev. Dr. Poore and Mt. N. Kuatchbull came up to the rioters,
who bore down upon the military, Courtenay calling upon them
to behave like men. The military having approached, Cour-
tenay shot Captain Bennett, who instantly expired, and the
soldiers /in self-defence fired upon the band of ruffians; the
consequence was, the loss of life already described. Seven
rioters, who were wounded, were taken prisoners, and three not
wounded were likewise committed to St. Augusttne's gaol for
trial at the next sessions. Inquests will be held on the dead
bodies this day.

We give a short account, compiled at a very short notice, of
thin wretched madman.

"Sir Jourtenay first appeared at Canterbury in the Mi-
chaelmas of the year 1832; and the first rumour was that an
eccentric character was living. at the Hose Inn, who passed
under the name of Count Rothschild, but had been recently
known in London by the name of Thompson. His countenance
and costume denoted foreign extraction, while his fan wage
and conversation showed that he was well acquainted with al-
most every part of the kingdom. He often decked his person
with a fine suit of Italian clothing, and sometimes with the more
gay and imposing costume of the eastern nations. In Decem-
ber of the same year he surprised the citizens of Canterbury by
proposing himself as a candidate for the representation of the
city in parliament, and created an entertaining contest for the
honour lo9mafter the sitting candidates had composed themselves
to the deliP,litfnl vision of an unexpensive and unopposed re-
turn. He was also a candidate for the eastern division of this
county, but polled only four votes, the county voters having
derived a lesson of wisdom from the sad effects of his former
freaks and follies. After striving in vain to possess himself of
a seat in parliament, at least a return of having been elected
for one, this crafty adventurer appears to have studied with
much more ardour and vigilance than before to captivate the
affections of the lower orders in the city. He made it known
that his condescension was as great as his rank and wealth,
and that he should be willing to accept of invitations to visit the
humblest families—to eat and drink at the peasant's and the
labourer's table—to make one of a larger or smaller party at the
lowest public-house—to enrol his name in the meanest society,
and to have it published abroad that Sir William Courtenay
preferred being the companion of the cottager and the friend of
the poor. It is easy to conclude that such intelligence charmed
a million hearts, anti obtained entreaties for his company from
every quarter. So numerous were his engagements, that he
was °blitzed to run or ride from house to house, taking a slight
repast at each, and generally concluding the day a '7a banquet
prepared by a number of his new friends in some ,%scure club-
room.

"In the month of February an action took place between His
Majesty's sloop Lively, a revenue cruiser, and a smuggling
boat called the Admiral Hood, near the Goodwin Sands, which
ended in the capture of the latter, which, with the crew, was
taken to Rochester for adjudication. On boarding the smuggler
no contraband goods were found ; but, during the chase, she
had been distinctly seen by the Lively throwing tubs overboard,
and some of them were marked and picked-up by the crew of
the cruiser. On the examination of the smugglers before the
magistrates at Rochester Sir William Courtenay made his ap-
pearance, attired in a grotesque costume, and having a small
cimetar suspended from his neck by a massive gold chain. On
one of the men being examined Sir William became his advo-
cate; but the man being convicted, a professional gentleman
from London defended the next, and Sir William presented
himself as a witness; when he swore that he saw the whole
transaction between the Lively and the Admiral Hood, and was
positive that the tubs, stated to have come from the Admiral
Hood, had been floating about in the sea all the morning, and
were not thrown overboard from that vessel. The object of
this statement was evidently to prove that the Admiral Hood
was not a smuggler, and consequently to procure the liberation
of the men. The solicitors for the Customs, having undoubted
evidence that this testimony was false, determined to proceed
against an individual who had been guilty of such a public and
daring act of perjury. The trial came on at Maidstone before
Mr. Justice James Parke on the 25th of July, 1833, when he
was found guilty of wilful and corrupt perjury, and sentenced
to imprisonment in gaol for three calendar months, and at the
expiration of that term to be transported to such place beyond
the seas as His Majesty, by and with the advice of his Privy
Council, should direct, for the term of seven years. Before,
however, the three months' imprisonment had expired, it was
found that Sir William was completely out of his senses ; the
sentence appears to have been annulled, and he was sent to the
Kent Lunatic Asylum at Banning, where he has been confined
until a few months since. When released from the Lunatic
Asylum, he took up his abode either at Herne-hill or Boughton,
where by pecuniary offers he has gained many followers, and
has carried on one freak or another until the above melancholy
catastrophe has occurred.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
FROM THE TIMES OF SATURDAY.

Canterbury, Friday Evening.

I send you herewith a report of the inquest held this day at
the White Horse, a public-house, in Boughton, on the body of
Nicholas Mears. It terminated, as you will see, in a verdict of
wilful murder against sundry of the rioters. It appears from all
that I have heard, that the rioters fought with the most despe-
rate courage, and that had their weapons been at all equal to
those of their antagonists the struggle would not have been so
ea y decided. Thg rushed on the bayonets of the soldiery
with the rage of fats; and this will not surprise you wheni
inform you that this Courtenay or Tom had represented himself
to them not only as a political but also as a religious reformer.
H e blasphemously styled himself the Saviour of the world, and
to convince his followers that he was so, pointed to certain punc-
tures in his hands as those inflicted by the nails of the cross, and
to a cicatrice in his side as the wound out of which issued blood
and water. He also represented himself as invulnerable to steel
or shot; and so completely has. he deluded numbers in this
neighbourhood into the belief of his monstrous lies that they
even now fancy that though he appears dead he will rise again
on the third day, and lead his followers on to victory. lam re-
luctant to believe such pitiable ignorance; but whilst I am wri-
ting, 1 have received information of a fact which staggers even
my incredulity. A woman of the name of Culver was told by
this impostor, that if she got some water and placed it on his
mouth in case he was shot, he would shortly revive. On hear-
ing of his death, the woman filled a vessel with water, walked
half-a-mile with it, and in compliance with his instructions,
placed it on his lips. She was apprehended soon afterwards by
order of the magistrates, who imagine that her evidence will
lead to the arrest of more of the rioters.
The village of Boughton, near which these lamentable oc-
currences took place, and at which the inquest has been held,
has been filled with visitors (luring the day. The inquest-room
was crowded, and great numbers went to see the bodies, which
were lying in the neighbourhood.
In a shed near the Red Lion, at Boughton-under-Blean,
which is two miles nearer to Canterbury, were placed the body
of this Courtenay or Trom, and of the six poor wretches whom
he has betrayed to so miserable an end. When I was at the
place Courtenav's body had been removed to the Red Lion
itself, and was undergoing medical examination. The other
bodies, however, were lying cold and stark on the straw. They
were evidently all common labourers in agriculture, with one
exception—that of a man who was shot through the heart, and
in whose breast the perforation of the bullet was distinctly visi-
ble. The eyes of all wet wide open, and the glare of them
from being stripped of all intelligence was horribly frightful.
One only was killed by the bayonet Judging from their looks,
1 should say that the men were all above 40 years of age. I
have already said that Courtenay's body I did not see ; but 1
am informed that it exhibits great and even extraordinary mus-
cular powers. His stature was tall—his form symmetrical, and
his features expressive. He wore a great mass of hair, and
allowed his beard to grow to a most preposterous length. Since
his death his head has been shaved, for the purpose of allowing
a plaister cast to be taken of his face; and I have heard, such
is the veneration in which numbers here bold him, that various
sums of money have been offered to obtain a lock of his hair,
and a fragment of the blood-stained shirt iu which he died. The
women, with whom he was a prodigious favourite, seek these
relics with the greatest avidity, and are described as receiving
there with the must enthusiastic devotion.

however, he inflicted a severe wound on one of the rioters.

The rest', being

party left the village at seven o'clock.
It has already been stated that, besides Courtenay, seven
rioters were killed by the fire of the soldiery; seven others were
also wounded. Two of these men, I, ant informed, are now
dying. The village of Dun/4irk, from which most of them
came, labours under a worst disgraceful reputation. The men
ate said to be most of them poachers, and of the women it is
enough to say that they bad their reasons fur making Courtenay
their favourite.
At ,even o'clock, the soldiery were withdrawn from Boughton.
They left it in a stage-coach and two vans, which were loaded

mention this merely to prevent its being supposed that this ir-
regular tiring was occasiuued by any recurrence of riot.
I have already mentioned the desperate frenzy with which
these deluded wretches fought. One of them, who was made
prisoner, was asked how it was that he had the boldness to re-
sist the military. His reply was, " that he had no fear • that
he cared not fur the numbers of the soldiers; that he felt that •
he was, like his leader, invulnerable; and that he just went on
to the fight like a bulldog." As a pendant to this anecdote,
which 1 have introduced rather out of place, I will mention
another, which shows the coolness of these desperadoes.
After Courtenav had fallen, one of the rioters, the only one
who bad a gun, was seen taking a cool aim at Major Arm-
strong, but, before he could pull the trigger, a fortunate shot
laid him as dead as his redoubled leader.
In souse of the journals it is stated that Capt. Montgomrnery,
of the 45th, was killed in the melds. 1 am requested to state
that that officer was not present at the affray, and is now alive
and well in his quarters at Canterbury.
The general feeling to-day was that the evidence adduced
on this inquest is a complete vindication of the conduct of the
magistrates in calling out the military.
(eirom THE CORRESPONDENT OF THE MORNING HERALD.)
On our arriving at the field of slaughter, we were shocked at
beholding eight poor fellows who had been shot dead, and four
other poor wretches in the greatest agony, smarting tinder
wounds from musket balls. Sir W. Courtenay was bleeding
fast from his wounds, and on touching his handlis fingers were
still trembling, and the working of the muscles was very visible,
whilst his poor unfortunate followers were the most dejected set
of persons imaginable; two old men had scarcely a tooth in
their heads, and were shocking to behold. Among the dead
was George Gott, constable of Feversbam, keeper of a beer-
shop, called the "Good Intent," of that place. It appears this
poor man had been sworn a special constable, and was endea-
vouring to gAthe party to surrender when he received the fatal
wound ; a Mts passed through his head. Close to Courtenay

THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER IN WATERLOO-ROAD.

(From the Standard of Saturday.)

- .
A singularly-looking middle-aged man was brought before'
Messrs. Not ton and Hardwick, at Lambeth-street, yesterdays
by police-constable George Leaman, under the following cir-
cumstances :
It appeared that the prisoner, who gave his name as John'
Owen, and described himself as a jobbing cooper, residing at
No. 5, Cottage-place, Granby-street, Waterloo-road, entered
the shop of Mr. Clayton, a tailor and draper, 11, I.Vellington"-
terrace, and made a lengthened communication relative to the
murder of the young woman Grimwood, and on being asked by
Mr. Clayton why he did not attend before the coroner to com-
municate the circumstance, his reply vvi.,s that he had a strong
objection to take an oath, which he would be obliged to do if he
went before a coroner. Mr. Clayton (who is one of the jurors
swots in the case), considering the declaration of the prisoner
to be of importance in the mysterious case, gave directions to
his young man, on his leaving the shop, to follow and watch his
movements_ The young man did so, and the prisoner, in the
midst of the heavy rain, proceeded through various streets un-"
til he reached Rosemary-lane, where he purchased a sheet of
paper in a stationer's shop, and then entered a coffee-shop there:
The young man, who had followed him at this time, communi-
cated the circumstance to Leaman the policeman, and it wag
arranged that the young man should enter the coffee-shop and
watch the prisoner's ruanceuvrea. He did so, and finding that
he had written a letter and sealed and addressed it, he returned
to- the policeman, and through the window he could perceive the'
letter he had written was directed "'l'o either Mr. Grimwood
or Mr. Best, IA Wellington-terrace, Waterloo-road, Lam-
beth." Leaman instantly entered the house and demanded the
letter from him.. The prisoner, after some hesitation, gave it
up, and appearing much confused at the time, the officer told
him he should attend before a magistrate. The letter was
handed to the bench, and was as follows :
"eune I, half-past two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Gentletnen,—A friend of mine this morning has made to'
me a disclosure, in a particular way, that will, I have no doubt,
lead to the detection of the villain that committed the atrocious
murder. The man he suspects is a good-looking man, with
dark or large whiskers, thin made, nearly about six feet. You
will excuse me from writing his rrame or address for many rea-
sons. He is by profession a Baptist and a member of absti-
nence. He is considered by many a most singular character--
a man that has been well educated; formerly, in his first wife's
time, in great prosperity ; is now in great poverty and distress
of mind from two wicked, rebellions children. I dare not, on
any account, give you his name,

George Grant, assistant to Mr. Clayton, detailed at some
length, and with much clearness, the particulars of the conver-

on his way from the Waterloo-road to Rosemary-lane the pri-
soner kept continually looking after him, and, as he thought.
went some distance out of his direct course. He also seemed
very much confused on the policeman making his appearance
in the coffee-shop, and appeared to have much reluctance in

The prisoner, after receivinga caution from Mr-Norton, who
told him that the charge against-him was of a very suspicious,
and might turn out of a serious character, and therefore he was
not bound to say anything that was likely to criminate himself,
as everything he should say would be taken down, and might
be used against him hereafter, replied that he would tell the
whole truth of the matter as far as he knew, and added that
some persons might consider him insane, but this he could
assure the bench was not the case, though he would admit that,
he was somewhat distressed in mind, owing to the conduct of
two Of his children. He then proceeded to say that on Friday
night, or rather Saturday morning, being disturbed in his mind,
and unable to sleep he got out of bed, and considering that a
walk would do him some good, he dressed himself, got into the
street, and walked towards Waterloo-bridge. While passing
along Wellington-terrace, he saw a man standing at a door
with light pantaloons or drawers on, a clean shirt, with the
sleeves tucked up to the elbows, and some blood on his hands.
As he approached the man he saw him place his hands together,'
and raising them up, exclaim, " Oh, Oh! I have done the deed,
how shall I acquit myself of it?" and on his perceiving him
(prisoner) he stepped inside, and shut the door softly. He (the
prisoner) at the time thought it odd, and in consequence went
up to the door, placed his ear close to it for some time, but find-
ing all perfectly still inside, he, after three or four minutes+
proceeded as far as the bridge, and on his return again listened
at the same door, when not the least noise was perceptible; be
then let himself in by a string which he had fastened to a latch
and went to bed, and asked his children if they had heard him
go out, and they replied they did not.
