EXANUNATION. OF THE RIOTERS.—.-TcEsDAY.

•
The following prisoners were Paced at the trar of the Publi
office, before his WOrship. the Mayor and Alderman. Sir, Thos.
Brancker, ch aged by the. officers of the nightly watch, the
day-police, and others, with having been leaders and actors in
the riots which took place on'Shuday and Monday last, viz.:—
Patrick Heaney, John Fitzpatricic Joseph M'Allister, Wil-
liam M`Loughlin, John Burns, Joseph Donnelly, Win. Hutch-
) instill, Morris Quirk, Patric Fitzpatrick, --Cohn M'ltityre,
•Patriek M'Shea, Thomas Curran, Peter Kelly, Michael Fla-

Hugh Gallooley, Patrick Goodwin, and Thomas Carthv.
John Heaney, John Regan, James Bowman, Michael Roo-
ney, William Hunt, Patrick Pentony, John Callaghan, and
Timothy Carland.
• Of these the first forty-three were, in the course of the evi-
dence,. distinctly identified; but the cencludingeight individu-
els could not be sworn to,—though they had all been taken
from the mob, and placed in custody for acts of violence corn-
mined in defiance ot, or directly against the persons. of the con-
servators
of the peace.
The first case brought forward was a charge, by a respectable
working man, against a very rough-looking individual, who had
rushed upon him in Titheharti-street, as he was going to his
work en Monday mulling. The prisoner, seeing that the head-
kerchief on complainant's- neck was of a yellow tinge, rushed
at him, and ordered that lie should immediately. take -it off.
Complainant expressed some surprise at this, when the prisoner
fell upon him, took his breakfast-can from him, and tore his
handkerchief from his neck. One of the officers of the fire-po-.
lice, who happened to be passing, took the prisoner into cus-
tody. He was remanded. Mr. Parlour took occasion to eulo-
gise the conduct of the officers of the fire-police, whose efforts,
he said, during the late disturbance,' had been most praisewor-
thy. The whole of the prisoners were then successively. placed
in the dock, in parties of six at a time; and as the examination
which followed was! necessarily very desultory, and involved
much of what we have stated in the preceding account., we shall
merely touch upon its -material points. Mr. Rammage, the
keeper of the Vauxhall-road lock-up, having been called, reca-
pitulated his statement of Monday, to the •effect that he had
seen a body of two hundred 'persons • parading: opposite •the
Bridewell on Sundays that the watchmen had been assaulted
and had taken refuge in the'Bridewell, front the furious conduct
of the mob, up to the time When he deemed it necessary to ring
the fire alarum bell. Baylis and several watchmen spole as to
the. commencement of the dkturbance on Sunday night. It
seems that a considerable mob had assembledin liorth7Street.,
Which extended into Dale-street af%one end, and into Great
Crosshall-street at the other. The officers of the nightly watch,
in accordance with their duty, endeavoured to put it down.
They Made prisoners of one or two refractory persons, the eon-
sequeue of which was, that the whole mob instantly assailed
them, acid drove them into Vauxhall road lurk-up, as before
stated. Watchman No. 100, identified the prisoner M'lntyer,
who rescued a man from him. -
Mr. Davenport, attorney, intimated that he appeared on be-
half of Fitzpatrick, Henney, and Quirk. Mr. Whitts pointed
out Heaney as a man who, when he had dispersed and was pur-
suingthe mob down North-street, had skihked into an entry ;
as Mr. Whiny came up•he dropped a huge paving-stone from
his hand. It must be stated, that missiles of this ilewription
were made use of in great abundance by the rioters,. On the
production of another knot of prisoners, Mr. Whiny gave a
succiut account of the state of affairs, on his first arrival at
Vauxhall-road, and his encounter with the rioters in the Bride.
well yard. He stated that when the mob there assembled set
upon him, two,young men had placed themselves between him
and his assailants, and had done their utmost to preserve him
from injury. M'Allister and (we believe) Densely were the
ringleaders in this part of the affray. They were subsequently
taken into custody by sonic of the fire-police. Mr. NiThitty
stated that after he had dispersed the mob he heard tltht some of
them had taken refuge at M`Nolty's public-house, in Vauxhall-
read. He immediately proceeded thither, and, as he approach-
ed; he heard a rush within the house. As he entered, the pri-
soner Fitzpatrick dropped something, -which he immediately
took up. - It proved to be a bent poker, which was produced in.
court.

Mr. Davenport here questioned Mr. Whitty very-hrieflv upon
hilid4bliges against both Heaney and• Fitzpatrick, hilt the
abswers he-received were so conclusive that he did not persevere.
M'Laughlin was identified as the individual from whom a load-
ed pistol with a quantity of gunpower and leaden slugs were
taken. Amongst-The charge a number of shoemaker's sprigs
were taken. livley, the constable, identified Burns and Den-
ncihoe as two individuals who had threatened to break into the
prisons unless their companions were released. Samuel Lloyd
produced a sharp instrument -which had been taken from the
person of the prisoner Edward 'Tarr. This weapon had been
mannfactured•froM a butcher's steel. It was ground sharp, and
had atop like that of a gimlet clumsily fitted to it by way of a
handle. A prisoner, named Finuingham, and a great number
of other individuals, were identified us having excited and led
the mob, and threatened the officers of police, and declared that
• their incarcerated companions should be let at liberty by force.
Seneral dangerous weapons were produced which had been
taken from the persons of some of the prisoners. One formida-
ble weapon was a short club, made of a thick ash plant, to one
end of which was attached a heavy knob-of iron; bludgeons and
sticks were in abundance. A thick pole was produced which
had been stolen by one of the prisoners from a shop. He hail
immediately broken it in two, and given the one-half to a coin-
' panion. Several individuals also who had been taken into cus-
tody, and against whOm sufficient grounds did .not appear, were
discharged. All those whose names we have given above were
remanded. WIiDNESDAY.
William Heaney, John Kegan, James Bowman, Michael
'Rooney, William Hunt, Patrick Pentonv, John.Callagan, and
Timothy Carland were placed at the liar. These: were the
eight individuals who, having been taken in the -confusion of
one of the- great tumults, could not be easily identified by the
watchmen or police officers. When the priiiimers were ranged
in the dock, Saul, of the fire police, stepped for-Ward; and point-
ing to Heaney and Pentony, said that he had seen them both
in the mob on Sunday night, at Vauxhall-road, cheeriog and
ta,tharriotere, and instigating-them to veserie the pri- •
sonars whom the watchmen had taken. This evidence seas
deeMed sufficiently conclusive, and the two prisoners were in-
stantly removed from the dock. All the watchmen present
--were then called down, and mustered at each wing of the dock.
They were commanded to look attentively at the prisoners, and
endeavour to identify them, and-state the circumstances under
which they were taken into custody. Several of them spoke to
having made prisoners on the Sunday night, but they could not,
with any degree of certainty, fix upon the prisoners at the bar.
Mr. Bacheldor, the governor of the Bridewell, said that the pri-
soners had used every effort to disguise themselves since they
had been placed- in custody. All of them had changed their
apparel more or less, and one of them had put on fresh clothing
no less than three times. A gentleman, who had been violently
assaulted, had been in Bridewell, but had failed to identify his
assailants in consequence of-this change of dress. John Hea-
ney and Timothy Carland were examined, and as nothing ap-
peared against them which could warrant their further deteu-
lion, they were discharged. The remaining four were then re-
manded for further examination. -

'Edward M'Grath and Charles O'Neil were placed at the bar,
charged by a person named Douglas, with haying
destroyed
certain of his property during. the late disturbance. Coin-
plainant stated that his residence was in Blundell-street, where
he keeps a hairdresser's shop. On Monday morning last, the
two prisoners went to his premises, with a mob of between two
and three hundred persons, and seeing his wife on tire steps,
commanded her to send out her husband that they might mur-
der him. They then pulled down his sign, and demolished it.
Not content with this, they broke in the shop window, and
taking out the articles displayed for sale, they scattered them
about the street, and trampled them under their feet. As their
fury increased, they took missiles from the pavement and broke
all the front windows of the house. On the following day they
again returned, and threatened to break open the complainant's
house, and murder him:and his wife. Mary Douglas, the com-
plainant's wife, corroborated his statement. The complainant
said that he had other witnesses, but they were fearful of giving
their testimony, because of the violent character and threats of
the prisoners' associates. The prisoners denied having taken
any part whatever in the riots, and.prodiiced witnesses who
swore that they were not in Blundell-street at thelirne specified.
This evidence, however, was of such a conflicting character that
it had no weight with the court. The prisoners were ordered
to find bail to answer the charge at the sessions.
