ME IN the sum of 500, as reported in the Spy OF
yesterday An abstract OF the evidence in the
was accidentally omitted in our report OF the pro
ceedmgs yesterday. The examination Of officers
| ChaS. W. Wentworth and VIM. T. Farr was quite
lengthy. Their evidence proved that the parties in
ques,n were respectfully requested by the officers
to deSist from making disturbance aud go to their
| homes. Inis occurred at early hour OH Sunday
morning The prisoners declined, and attempts
were madeto arrest Edward Fitzgerald and he
| thrown down by the officers, who endcaNoed TO
iron him The others of the party, though repeat
eddy informed by the officers of their official posi-
| ton, and warned not to interfere with them it, the
discharge of their duty, persisted in ther attempts
TO rescue Edward and general melee was the re-
suit Officer Wentworth was held down by Ed
ward, and Willie on the ground received three blows
Oh the head from billy, which had been taken
| from Mr. FAIR, rendering him senseless and power
less The latter was badly bruised about the right
| eye, and received blow on the side Ofthe head.
City marshal Pratt, who made most of the arrests
testified that David Fitzgerald, On being taken into
| custody remarked that lie the that the mar
| slal was looking after, and admitted that he and
one OF the officers had exchanged caps Mr Went.
worths cap Was subsequently found in Fitzgerald's
house. lie also expressed his satisfaction that the
officers had got good poundingn
James Fitton was discharged. Although it was
proved that he was present. tappeared that perhaps
his intermeddling was much for the purpose OF
getting his friends quietly home, as for any other
purpose.
VIM Connors vas also discharged, the evdehcO
not being deemed sufficient 10 hold him. 1t was
pain enough that certain Connors was engaged in
the aiiay, but it was held to be doubtful whetherit
was the prisoner who answered to that name.
The whole six mouldcrs' apprentices in Jones'
foundery, and this the first case of either of
them before the court.
VI. j. McCafltrty, Esq counsel for the defense,
referred to the importance of sustaining the officers
Of the law in the discharge OF their difficult and ar
duous duties, and the court commented at length
upon the same point. Indeed, every citizen can but
heartily rejoice at the conviction of every actual
offender of those statutes which are designed to
| cure the enforcement OF law and order.
