CHRONICLE. 
ed for the protection of their per. 
sons and their property; wherever 
their presence was necessary, their 
appearance was zlmoust immediate : 
they apprehendéd several of the 
rioters, four of whom were yester- 
day committed to Newgate by 
Alderman Fierisg. = Alderman 
James, a short time after «he art- 
tack had been made on the lord 
chancellor, seized one of the mob 
in College-greeen, who had a large 
stone concealed under his coat: he 
is at present in Newgate, where 
we understand his lordship went 
yesterday to view him. His name 
is Denis O’Brien, a cadet servant 
lately discharged by Mr. Kemmis. 
es This morning between one 
51+ and two o’clyck, a very despe- 
rate attempt was made to rescue 
Isdwell Isdwell, a jew, who stood 
' charged with some others, with 
being concerned in a late forgery 
of stamps, and who, in a scuflle, 
lost his life in the following man- 
ner: Isdwell, who was confined in 
New Prison, Clerkenwell, per. 
suaded two of the turnkeys, that 
an aunt of his, who was very rich, 
then lay at the point of death, and 
that he had been informed, thar, 
could she see him before she died, 
she would give him a thousand 
pounds; and therefore, if they 
would let him out and accompany 
him to the place, he would give 
them fifty guineas each for their 
trouble, and that thé matter might 
be effected without the knowledge 
of the keeper of the prison, or any 
other person, they having the keys 
of it at night, and the rime requir. 
ed being very short. To this pro. 
posal the turnkeys agreed; and ac. 
cordingly, about one o’clock in the 
Morning, the gates were opened, 
‘and Isdwell, with his irons on, was

conducted in a hackney coach by 
one of them, armed witha blun- 
derbuss, to the place directed, 
which was in Artitlery-lane, Bi. 
sho, sgate-street, where they gained 
immediate admittance on ringing a 
bell; and, on enquiring for the 
sick lady, were ushered up one paie 
of stairs, Isdwell went into the 
room first, on which several fel- 
lows rushed forth and attempted to 
keep the turnkey out ; but not suc. 
ceeding in that respect, they put 
the candles out, wrested the bluns 
derbuss out of his hands, and dis. 
charged it at him. At this instant; 
it was supposed, Isdwell was en- 
deavouring to make his escape out 
of the door, as he received the 
principal part of the contents of 
the blunderbuss in his back, and 
fell dead; the turnkey also fell, 
one of the slugs having grazed the 
upper part of his head; and the 
villains, by some means finding 
their mistake, though in the dark, 
beat him in so shocking a manner 
with the butt end of the blunder. 
buss, while he lay on the ground, 
as to break it to pieces, fracture 
his skull in two places, and bruise 
him dreadfully about the body. 
The noise which the affair occa- 
sioned, brought a number of 
watchmen and patroles to the 
house, who secured ten persons 
therein, mostly jews. There is 
every reason to suppose that they 
wou.d have completely murdercd 
the turnkev, had not timely assist- 
ance been afforded. 
The princess of Wales, accom. 
panied by Mrs, Harcourt, lord 
Malmesbury, and commodore 
Payne, disembarked from the Ju. 
piter, and went on board one of 
the royal yachts: and a few mi- 
nutes after twelve o’clock landed at 
Greenwich
