THE LATE FATAL AFFRAY IN SHOE-LANE. Last evening a public meeting was held at the Literary and Scientific Institution, Leicester-place, Little Saffron-hill, "to consider what steps were necessary legally to effect Mr. Long's release from prison," that individual being one of the witnesses in a recent police case, which was characterised in the bills convening the meeting, as a " brutal polico outrage in the City ." Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, M.P., was announced to take the chair, but his Lordship having sent an excuse for his non-attendance,. Mir. W. Browno was called upon to preside, and .in opening the proceedings, he observed that at a meeting recently held on Clerkenwell-green, it was agreed that a memorial should be sent to Sir George Grey, requesting him to offer a reward for the apprehension of the policeman who it was stated was guilty of the "murder" of William Hogan (in a disturbance which took place a short time ago in Shoe-lane). The reply of the Home Secretary was to the effect that he (Sir George Grey) had received the memorial in reference to the death of William Hogan, and that he had forwarded it to the Lord Mayor, together with the letter accompanying it. This communication, it was contended, left the memorialists in the same position which they held before they addressed the Home Secretary; and the chairman now urged that it was the duty of all true friends of freedom to make every effort to promote the ends of justice in this important matter. Several persons afterwards addressed the meeting in language strongly condemnatory of the conduct of the police, and suggesting the necessity of farther agitating the question in order to effect the release of Mr. Long, who, it was said, had been imprisoned for the purpose of preventing him from giving his evidence against the policeman alleged to have caused the death of William Hogan. A resolution was passed condemning the course adopted by the police authorities in not causing an investigation to be made in order to identify the policeman. Other resolutions of a similar tendency were also carried, and it was agreed that the cause of the deceased Hoganr was the cause of every lover of justice and humani!Yii andy ought to be taken up by the public, snore 5 working men, who were bound to protect etheirh °were Peewlan fives and property.
