Looks like "& another (for) rioting" to me.

The Manchester Weekly Times dated Saturday December 14 1889 carried an article about the case.
Abraham Hampson and Peter Jefferies were indicted for having, at Gorton, on 20th October, engaged in a scuttling affray.  Jefferies pleaded guilty; Hampson was tried and found guilty.  They would each be sentenced to nine months imprisonment with hard labour.
 
NB: 'Scuttling' described in the article as being armed with belts and sticks and stones to create disturbances.
