The whole of the defendants pleaded guilty v through counsel, but did not appear. Tho magistrate said the charge, a subsidiary one, should have been of taking part in an unlawful assembly or one of damaging property. One man who rode a horse up and down between the rails, and was evidently a leader, was fined £2, and the others were convicted and discharged.
