after goir into be crowd wss muls,to, who led on
the gang in their last attempt 10 rescue the prisoner.
He at orce seized him. and the other off ,ers picked
up FIX more, making eight in all. Two Of them are
blacks and ak whites. They a. hard looking set
OF customers as one often meets.
The operations OF this gang wsre Of the most des.
perae aud audacous character according to the rep
reservations Of people in the crowd. They affirm
that they operated openly and that in Oue Instance
man was seen deliberately counting the contents Of
rades. One of the men arrested had splendid re-
volve, in bis possession, loaded and capped. Upon
being aeked why he carried it, he replied that he In
tended to protect himself
The accused were conveyed TO the Tombs, and
locked up on q charge of interfering with officer in
the discharge Of biz duty, and attempting to rescue
prisoner. Econvcted this charge they will doubtless
be zen. TO Blackwels Island for six months or so. No
charge. have been preferred against him for picking
pockets, and it ia not likely that those who were
robbed in the crowd the morning in question could
identify any Of tire party.
The officers who assisted Mr.. McDougal in his
descent upon the gang when in Church street, were
Messrs Leffets. Elder, Robb, King and Murnin, all
attached to the Chiefs Office.
