he subscribed to the new loan!

oth Francis Dunn was indiéted * 
* for the wilful murder of David 
Brewer, by giving him several 
wounds on the head, and in the 
side, with a clasp knife, on Thurs- 
day the 10th of November, and 
William Arnold and William Ryan, 
for aiding and abetting him in the 
said murder. On the night of 
Wednesday the 9th of November, 
the patroles observed two men go 
up Pipe-maker’s alley, near Cow 
Cross, and, following them up, 
observed one of them, which proved 
to be Dunn, with a knife in his 
hand. They interrogated him as 
to what he was doing with it; but 
he refusing to satisfy them, they 
took him to the watch-house, of 
which the deceased, Mr. Brewer, 
was the keeper : however, as they 
had no charge against them, anda 
publican appearing in their behalf, 
they were discharged. The next 
night there was a club held at the 
Sun, Cow Cross, at which, among 
Others, was a witness of the name 
of Toombs, who stated that, on 
his refusing to sing, several persons 
insulted him; and that the pri- 
soner, Dunn, even went so far as 
to tear his coat, on which he went 
down, and brought up three watch- 
men. On their coming into the 
Toom, and one of them proposing 
to secure the door, they all, tothe 
amount of twenty-five or twenty- 
Six, began to attack the watchmen. 
ann knocked one of them down, 
and they were glad to get out of 
the house, in doing which they 
were followed by the whole that 
were in the room. From one Har- 
WN L(G E: [45 
ris, another of the club, it ap- 
peared, that when they got into 
the street, they missed ane cf their 
party, whereupon they returned to 
the Sun, and, finding the door 
fastened, Dunn and Ryan got if 
at the window, and then opened 
the door for the rest; but not find- 
ing their companion, one of them 
suggested he might be taken to the 
watch-house, to which Dunn went 
‘first, Williams next, then Arnold, 
and the rest followed. Another 
witness, and the deceased, Brewer, 
seeing them coming, shut to the 
upper part of the door, it shutting 
with a hatch ; this they soon forced 
open, and three of them entered ; 
when two womep swore to seeing 
one of them strike Mr. Brewer 
over the head, and another punch- 
ing him on the side. They then 
came out, and being met by ano- 
ther party, Dunn said to them, 
* Damn him, I’ve cut his bloody 
eyes out.” Dunn at this time had 
aknife in his hand, which, as he 
came out of the watch-house, he 
was noticed to wipe on his coat ; 
Arnold also had a knife in his hand; 
and it was proved by several wit- 
nesses, and two accomplices, that 
the whole party proceeded in a 
riotous manner, knocking down 
several watchmen, and that Dunn 
in particular kept his knife in bis 
hand, and seeing one of the patrole 
atthe corner of the street in their 
way, he ran upto him, and cut him 
under the chin, and his coat be- 
hind ; and after this he made a 
thrust at a gentleman whom they 
met as he was turning up Saflron- 
bill. After they left the watch- 
house, Mr. Brewer came to the 
door, wiping his face, and stands

his hlood; he was afterwards taken
