near the Court House in this village and
severely handled by an nfurlacd mob OF
drunken Irishmen, while taking iefrac-
tory prisoner to jail who had been arrested
for breach of the peace. This prisoner,
Robert Manney, was rescued, but retakcn
on Saturday. The principal rioters cs-
capped. Three of them were from parts
unknown but had been about the streets all
day 'spoiling for fight" he others it
is supposed were workmcn ut the North
Middlebury marble quarry. All of them
against whom there was positive proof
slipped away before II warrant could be
issued Cor their arrest Mr.. Champion
was very badly bruised, and his assistant,
were more or less injured. Ga the whole
we must confess that the mob trumphed
Manney WAS yesterday brought before
Justice Stewart on the chargc of assault
and battery, and fined twelve dollar, AM
costs, II. $ Fuote appearing for the State
and Ira w. Clark for the prisoner.
