" T/wmas Jiarron. District of Montuf.al ; Personally appeared before mc, one His Majesty's Justices of the I'eacc in and for tlic said District, Joseph Jiouron, Esquire, of the Township of Godnianchcster. who being duly swurii, dcposetli and saith : that on Monday tne twenty first instant, he was present on the Place d' Armes of this City to witness the proceedings at the Poll, for the election of a Kcprcsentativc for the West Ward, and that he continued there from half past four until the close of the Poll, and the end of the subsequent riot. The facts which he witnessed were as follows : Truccy, one of the Candidates accom- panied by a party of his supporters at the close of the Poll, first left the place in which the Poll was held, and instead of, as usual, pursuing their route homewards by St. James street to tlie West Ward, they proceeded into the center of the Place d' Armes, anil immediately formed a line in front of the Church within the pre- cincts, and under the Porch of which the Special Con- stables were then stationed, and as it appeared to the Deponent, put themselves in an attitude of defiance, with hir/rat and shouting. Afterwards Tracey and his party moved off into St. James street, in a westerly di- rectton, as they should have originally done according to custom, and Mr. Ba|:g, the ollu r Candidate, with his friends and supporters commenced proceeding as usual towards their destination, with shouts and hurras — whereupon the partisans of T'acey returned, and im- mediately assailed Mr. Bagg «na his friends with show- ers of stones and < very kind of missile weapon, upon which occasion and in consequence of the dnngerous situation in which the Deponent foui d himselfbetwcen the two conflicting parties, he w;is obliged to take re- fuge in the shop of one Henderson, and even there in consequence of^he number of stones that passed ihrough tlie doors and windows, he was obliged for j.ersonal safely to conceal himself under the counter. Shortly afterwards, this Deponent saw the soldiL-rs march from the front of the Church, where they had been btationed. and were drawn up in front of St. James street, facing to the west, and marched in the direction of the Ri- oters, to the west, at least two hundred yards, with a view of dispersing them— all the time receiving showers of stones from the Rioters. They then haltM, and as this Deponent verily believes, the Officer who ijnme> diatcly put himself i.-i front of the military, commanded and endeavoured to persuade the Rioters to disperse, but his persuasions proving ineffectual he returned to his proper station and gave orders to fire. The firat fire as the Deponent believes was in the air, the Ri- oters still continued throwing stones, but the next volley taking cfTcct. the mob immediately dispersed: And further this Deponent saith not, and has signed.

Datuel Sabiwn, Esquire, Advocate, of the City of Montreal, being duly sworn on the Holy Evangelists, depooeth and saith: That on Monday, the 21st of May instant, about three o'clock in the afternoon, being with one of his friends in a house at the corner of St. Gabriel street, he there saw Troops passing to- wards the Place d'Arms, and the gentleman who was with him, the said Deponent having observed to him that they were going to the Poll, because he had heard that there was some noise there ; the Deponent im- mediately went to the Place d'Armes, to see what was going on there ; when he arrived at the place he saw the Troops there, who had iusi arrived through Notre Dame Street; Deponent then went into the shop of Mr. Howard, Merchant, on the Place d'Armes, and stood inside at the shop door of Mr. Howard's until the cloae of the Poll. While the said Deponent was at Mr. Howard's, he bad an opportunity of seeing and hearing a great deal of disturbance at the Poll, and he also, at the same time, saw passing opposite the shop of Mr. Howard, an individual whom he thought to be an Iriiihman ; this man seemed somewhat tipsey, ai.d havidg givon a handkerchief which he held in his liand, and apparently containing something, to a woman who followed followed liini ; Deponent heard this man say to the woman, in Knghsli, " Take that, ' iWi.-arini? anil cryiiin hurra (or Traccy ; lie «:iiil lh.it he was goin;» to the I'oll 10 join thf crowd anil fight for Traccy ; anila»thi» iniliviilunl was going to the I'oll with the apparent dc- tennination of kicking up a row, and of creating trou- ble, Ueponcnt then taw Mr. Trv, one of the Special Constables, who Heizcd him by tlie collar of his coat or ■urtout, he told liim not to go to the Poll to make a noiic, becauie there were enough there alrcailv or ■omething to thatcfl'ect, and then Mr. 'I'ry carried back the man some distance } and ns he shewed some utnvil- lingness to go, another Toiistuble came up to the as- sistance of Mr. Try, and Deponent saw both of them drag him to the entrance of Notre Dame Street, where Deponent then lost sight of them ; and Deponent is positive in saying, that in his presence, there was no violence whatever committed by Mr. Trv, or any other person whatever, on the said individual. That in h moment af\cr. Deponent having heard of the close of the Poll, he left Mr- Howard to see the Candidates go from it, and when he arrived at the cor> ner of the house occupied by one Mr. Henderson, precisely opposite the house occupied by the Ikadle of the Parish of Montreal, he went on the foot-path among those who were then there ; then he saw Mr. Traccy immediately come out from the Poll, in com* Eany with Mr. I^ifontaine, linked arm in arm, and leponent taw them both followed by an immense crowd in great haste, on the path way. or extremilv near the patn-way, where Deponent was standing with a certain number of other persons, and continued their route to near the end of tlio foot-path, where Deponent had ne- ver seen them pass on any former and similar occasion, although he had occasion frequently to meet them at the Poll, and to sec Mr. Tracey come out from the Poll when it dosed. Deponent further states, that it appeared evidently to have been the intention of a great number of those who followed Mr. Traccy, to turn off the foot-path all those who appeared to support Mr. Uagg's party ; also Deponent, as well as many othei5, were pushed with violence, and even crushed against the house of Mr. Hendersons-Deponent then quickly withdrew with several others, to the corner of .Mr. Hen- derson's house, to avoid being cruslied by the crowd, and afterwards, with a number of others, continued to return to the house of Mr. Dubois ; but having come there, he heard cries of, " Take care of the stones ;" when looking behind him, he saw a volley of stones readjt to fall upon him and those about him, and a crowd of people who were lying in the same direction, to save themselves ; then he hurried down St. Jo«eph street, down the hill to the Creek, where he mw a num< ber of persons running to save themselves from the stones which were fiilhng in great quantities. While Deponent was going down thix street, and nearly oppo- site the house belonging to the widow Leodel, he looked behind him, and saw a person throwing stones from the corner of the street at those who were running down ; and Deponent having , stopped, saw this man ukc up a great stune, and throw it at him. Deponent, with such force, that if he had not stooped down to avoid the stone, he believes he would have been mortally wounded. Deponent seeing that retreating only served to encourage those who were throwing the stones, to throw more, immediately turned back, firmly de« termincd to thiow them at whoever should throw them at him, and ran up the hill to the corner of the house of Kir. Dubois, wiihout, however, throwmg one, and whenariived at the corner, he perceived opposite Mr. Henderson's, a crowd of people, and a quantity of stonis which appeared to be thrown at them from the opposite side. Diponeni then ran in among the crowd. and followed the Troops to the front of Dr. Robertson's huu«e, and rcmaiti'd behind the Troops until they had fired i and during this time, Depomnt continually saw stones flying from the party which followed Mr. IVii. cey, ami in such quantities, that he believes if the Troops had not interfered, the lives uf citiiens were in imminent danger, and probably many murders would have b< en committed. Deponent liaxng read the present deposition, says it contains the truth, persists therein, and hath aigned. (Signed.) D. SALMON. Sworn before me, .Montreal, May, 1832. (Signed ) J. DeRiielieblave. J.

Lo!ia than one round from the first division (consisting of oixteen Hank and File of the .Main Uuard party), was accor- dingly discharged and took effect to an extent which could hardly have been anticipated, and I regret to nay I have been since informed in several instances fatally.) From the serious as|>cct of ofiairs, I had considered it necessary to despatch Ensign and Adjutant Hay, (whose zeal and intelligence nn thia occasion were par> ticularly useful to nie) with directions that the ro- mainder of tho UcgitnenI, which as a precautionary measure hud been drawn up in the Champ de Mam, under Mi\jur Gricrson, should be advanced towards the i'lace d'Arniei, and that Mr. Hay himself should without delay, join me with the Grenadier Company, the Captain and other Officer of which were absent on duly, which he did, with very great celerity, and ihcy arrived a few minutes after it had becoaie neccs^ary to act against the mob. In a »hort time the rioters were dispersed and completely appeased, and tranquillity was maintained during the remaining part of the afternoon. Before relio\ing the troops, I con* suited with the .Magistrates at their request, relative to the propriety of establishing a strong |M>st for the night in the direction of the western Suburbs ; and Brigade Major Pritchard, who verv promptly proceeded at my request to the Island of St. Helens for the purpose of communicating with the Officer commanding at that post, soon aAer returned with the report ihatCaptain An. derson was making every exertion in crossing the n> ver with two six-pounders, which arrived in a very shor<: space of time on this side of the river, and were sta- tioned for the night at the head of St. James street, covered by the Light Company j>f the 15th Regi- ment. Nothing could bu more satisfactory than tne soldierlike and alert manner in which all the Offi- cers and men of the Royal Artillery and liith Regt- employed, conducted themselves on this occasion, as also the Town .Major, Captain llooth. A party of the Montreal Cavalry, under Major Gregory, continued to patrole thro' the streets during the night. For fear of misunderstanding, I consider it proper to observe that I received distinct authority from Doctor Robertson, for " firing" before it was re- aorted to. I consider it my duty in conclusion from what I saw on this occasion, most respectfully to observe, that the number of troops in thist Garrison dues not appear to me sufficient, in the event of serious riots, entirely to prevent the destruction of property throughout the Town and Suburbs. Owing to the large spuce which they cover, and the straggling manner in which the latter are built, but where there is huucvcr much valuable property situated. The Post in St. Jamet Street was this morning removed by the authority of a Magistrate in consc- ijuence of the cuntinuauce of tranquillity throughout the town.
