Yesterday the Whitehaven magistrates continued the hearing of the case
against 20 prisoners charged with rioting at Cleator Moor on July 12. Mr. H.
SHEE appeared for the Roman Catholic prisoners. Fifteen witnesses were
examined. Mr. SHEE having addressed the Court for his clients, Mr. PAISLEY,

the chairman said they dismissed the cases against Joseph DIXON, James DUNN,
John HOUSTON, Samuel SCOTT, Daniel DORAN, James HELDON, James M'CLOUGHLIN,

Moor. The Bench committed for trial at the Cumberland Assizes John BAWDEN,
the leader of the Orangemen, Simon John CORDNER, Workington, Henry LAVERY,
Whitehaven, John MOORE, Distington, Orangemen; and Thomas CAIN, Thomas
