whom he laid an information of the assault which had
been committed upon him in the discharge of his duty, and
procured a pear warrant for the apprehension of Mr. Lon.
molly. 'Phis Warrant was directed to the constables of • the
district, •and those intiividuals were munitioned to pat it
in tereeetion. From the specimen which Mr. Connolly
had given of his disposition to resist all ordinary 'neaps
of arrest ; it was considered necessary to take a cotn•
patent force to effect this object, and certain persons
were sworn as special • coustahles for the mension.—
"(Wong others included in this body was the brother of the pa-
riik constable, James Grainge, an industrious shoemaker at
Shenley Bill. The whole posse being assenliled, they pro-
ceeded in ontisiderable force to the scene of action, which they
reached about six o'clock. A second loud knockicg at the
door gave nonce of their approach, when Mrs. grown again
made her appearance, and. es has been stated by the witnesses,
admission was demauded in the King's name. Mrs. Brown
still declined complying with this demand. A general assault
then commenced, and several panes of glass were broken in
the windows, as well as in the door. 'Pais continued for some
time, till at length Mr. Connolly came forward with a gun in
his haud,and threatened to shoot the first person who presumed
to break the door. This only tw.ded to increase the violence,
and as the party out considered that they: wore armed with I
hollicient authority to use every exertion in their power to
make their caption good, thoy treated-Alr...croarrolly's tin eats
with indifference, and actually began ta break the planets of.
the door with sash missiles 1.3 cane to hand. At this unlucky
moment, and in the heat of irritation, Mr. Connolly discharged
the gen, and James tirainge toeing nearest the door, he lodged
the contents in the upper part of his arm, near the shoulder,
which was dreadfully mangled. Tne unhappy man fed, and a
cry of •• Murder !" burst from all quarters. A considerable
pause now took place; the attack was discontinued, and the
officers and their assistants drew back, fearful that farther mis-
chief might be done ; and indeed we hare heard that other
shots were actually fired, hot without producing any further
injury. The wounded men being unable to walk, was placed
in a cart and carried to the White Hart, at Shenley 11111, from
whence expresses were immediately sent to St. Alban's and
Barnet for surgical assistance. Information of what had oc•
curred was then conveyed to the Kew. Mr. Newcame and John
M. Winter Esq. another Magistrate in the neighbournood,
who consulted upon what it was expedient to do.--All the
constables of the witottivundies villages were forthwith sum-
moned, and fresh addithilia were made to the list of spec al
constables. With thiir fheee the Natiisteates proceeded in
person to Robley how, Within which all remained in perfect
silence. It was now Ipforren nine and ten o'clock, and an
attempt was made to faros an entrance at the hack of the pre-
mises, where some more piottows were broken. Under the
direction of the alagialrates, admission was once more for-
mally demanded, and War Warrant was read io a loud voice.
Mrs. Brown, for the tided time. came to the door, and an-
nounced, that if the pertravould shew her their warrant, she
would admit them. 'Phis was fefused, but it was read in her
hearing, and the door was hosiir opened. The Magistrates
and the ofilcers then entered, and Mrs. Brown said she would
send to call Mr. Connolly down stairs.-1 servant did Rh.
cordingly go op stairs, and Mr. Connolly came down and
surrendered himself. All the other persons in the house were
then secured as being participators in the outrage—namely,
Mrs. Brown, her servant woman, Heidi Moran. a servaut
niaiw and another man called Edward, whose surname we were
unable to learn. The whole ware conducted to the White
Hart, at Shenley llill, where they remained under a strict
guard for the remainder of the night.

In the interim, the unfortunate wounded man had been con-
veyed to his own house, where he was put to bed until the
surgeons should arrive, which did not take place till a late
hour. Mr. Lloyd, of Barnet. Mr. Webster, of St. Alban's,
and a third medical man at length reached the spot, and on
examining the wound, pronounced It to be estrentely danger•
;ems. Tbey remained in attendant° the whole of the night ;

.and yesterday morning, on again opening the wound,. they
unanimously declared that amputation was necessary, and
that this operation afforded the only hope of preserving
life.

At ten o'clock, the Reverend Mr. Newcome, Mr. Winter,
and kir. Iladdow, assembled at the White Hart to take tae de-
positions of the different witnesses against the prisoners. and
ou hearing tie opinion of the St14(00114, tuty deemed it
necessary to take iirainges evidence before the operation
took place. They accordingly proceeded to the bed side of
the wretched man, and received fro:n his lips the detail of all
the circumstances which he had witnessed previous to the fatal
shot having been tired. TG this he was sworn, and attached
his signature& The surgeons then lost no time in performing
their painful duty, but Still expressed their fears of the re-
sult.

The Magistrates then returned to the White Hart, and
examined, in private, a vast number of witnesses„whose
dia.- rent statements they committed to writing. In the
result, we understand, that a very strong case was made out
against 31r. Connolly ; who, it was proved, was perfectly
aware of the character of the person who demanded admis-
sion, as well as the object which they had in view. It teas
also provedovelearn,‘ hat be, ween the use ofthe pitchfork in
the first instance, and the return of the officers with the
assault warrant, Hugh florae went to the house of 4 farmer
in the neighbourhood of the nettle of Bartholomew, and
obtained from his servant the loan of a gun, with a quantity
of powder and shot. Other testimony was give,' a'. to tier
declarations of Connolly, an t to the state of irritation in
which he appeared to be at the time the attack on the door
was made.
Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Connolly, and the three-servants were
all called in separately, and their state nents were received
with the inmost attention. Mrs. Brown was greatly af•
feeted, and fainted three times during the day. Mr. Con-
nolly, who was present when the surgeons were examined,
particularly questioued them as to the mode in which the
operation on Grainge was performed—namely, as to
whether the bone bad been extracted from the roe bet, ha
been splintered, or bad. been sawed oil with a bent. We
on•lerstand that the amputation took plaCe just I,elow
the shoulder, and that there was no splititering. During
the investigation Mr. Connolly betrayed a good deal of
impatience.
Soon after three the melancholy intelligence reached
the Magistrates that Geoid /Arc had clpired,,-a fact which at
once derided the course they had !As pursue), and, after a
,short consultation. they determined to coinage all the
parties upon the charge of the wilful marder of dimes
tirainge, and Mittiniustes awe wade Mit lecswdlisFly; ,
Connolly, and his servant Moran, were se* atf to aost,
