.•_ TRIAL OF MR. HUNT AND OTHERS. THIRD DAY—Comma Wm. Hutton, Esq. a Magistrate of Blaachestor, lwas era mined by Mr. SCAILLM.--411 3 Magistrate of the County of Lancaster; was at Manchester on the 16th ; ,the Magistrates rot first at the Star Inn ; from thence they proceeded to the house of a Mr. Burton, from whence they might see the Meet lag ; went there between 10 and 11 ; he took depositions, and also took an opportunity of seeing what passed ; as Chairman of Cie two Counties, he was much engaged writing; went once to the window, and saw large bodies of men coming from various quarters; the first column, he observed, came with music, ban ners, and apparently divided into sections, with persons who marched by their side, and who, from time to time, gave words of command. The other bodies were at too great a distance for. him to hear. They approached in a most remarkable man ner; they did not march straight up to the hustings, but wheeled upon receiving the word of command ; generally the heads of the columns went up to the hustings; deposited their colours there, and in doing so, were always met by the huzzas of those w:io had previously arrived ; having deposited the colours, they r.tired, he believed, to a particular circle round the hustings, . . to allow the others to approach with more ease; they w e re beautifully exact in coming up to the hustings ; could not oh c.rv..: the last column ihat came with Mr. Hunt ; but that which cattle from the other side of St. Peter's-fu Id from Mosley street, advanced with particuhr precision. This last, he thought, was in number fotlr or Sve thousand ; there was music, but he heari no drums. Witness p trticularly observed the approach of the body in which Mr. Bunt was ; observed the carriage ; heard Cie persons in it were, Mr. 'lout, Johnson, Castile, and Moorhouse; the noise made when Mr. I hint arrived, fi.ist drew him to the window ; the MaLtistrates wished to form a line of Constables from where they wera to the hustings; saw dis tinctly persons in the attitude of ridre3sing on the hustings; Mr. Hui.: WAS attended by itnnicrne r ; could see the while of the Area, with the esceptioh of one corner; Could not farm a conjecture himself as to the numbers present ; never saw so great a crowd; those who calculated and measured the space, estimated them from 50 to 60,000; Oey were variously esti mated ; in his judgment, the crowd was calculated to inspire, and did inspire fear in the town of Manchester. Ile received cl,:rositiors on oath from various persons as to their alarm.; held produce their d^positions; his feelings were similar to t'aose of the persons whose depositions he took; several Gen wete irnrressed with fear and al trm; they eeme to him as a rizi.:ttatz to give their &purl:ions; his own. opinion was, that the t/v r 7 - 1.5 in the oreatest darger - the last Census cl the . . i:2-e,:•1:-t), o.

Hunt.—eWituess declares that be re: 1-.1;11 every thing as he saw it; could not distinctly see so as to 1,017 hint (Mr. Hunt) on tb: busting ; could not di-tingebh his person from that of another; the hustings were dista u front the windav, perhaps three or foot hundred yards; this, ever, was mere guess; it was so far that he could not know iris (g.r. Hunt's) person ; knew those who were locked round the hustings, because they were particularly distinguished from the rest, bAng imre-b laded, ann forroir.g a card. u; se.lannly be- Lev;,s they were 31111 in arm ; th -y were inked s close as nun could be, and were distinguished from the rest of the crowd; • cuald see that they were linked arm in arm, though be could net distinguish hint ( Mr. Aunt) upon the hustings; he, as well as all who were with him, saw it ; swears it from his own observation. air. Hunt turned sound, and asked the Witness empint ti:aey whether, upon his oath, he would say that the persons in body of the Court were linked arm in arm or not ?i W nest—lean po.iitian is different ; The moment thioguestiou was put some clapping took place, bath in the body of the Court and in the gallery. A person owned Janes Kellenbeck, was pointed out and brought before the Judge, es the man who commenced the clapping. This Iry proved by two or three witnesses. Mr. Justice tiaverr said, ha would give him time till Saturday to make an afulavit excuse. The prisoner said he was ready to swear that he did rot clap, but moved his hands merely to prevent himself from falling. The Judge begged of him, in the ni.me of Con, not to race such an affidavit, for he saw him distinctly clappink. Af ter a severe reprimand, he was committed till Monday, that be :night have time to reflect upon his conduct, and draw up any CY •:use he might have to offer. The examination proceeded.—Witness had a better opportu nil of seeing the men in the square than ha c a:Ad possibly have of seeing those as they now are ; could distinctly see them linked together, and, as he believed, arm in arm ; could ceintifily dis tinjuish the outside men linked, and from the appeathnceaf the 52:Lr.r5, he had no doubt that they were lir.ke ! ; there was cir;le o: men, about ten deep, round the hustinzs, whom he he lisvci, on his oath, to be linked arm in arm ; atid he had an op vsrtunity of seeing that many of them were so; there was a • 2:e vrithitt this circle between them and the hustings, in which * re some individuals ; this circl: was distinguished by being barehea.led ; ;peaks with great deference about the distauce ; kaard as :mule:Lie shouting when Mr. Hunt came on the ground; i ryas the noise of applause ; be conceived it to be so; could ait say whether the people were looking towards the carriage when they applauded ; did not remember that ".he same up p!a•.;,e was directed toward; the constables, many things might nave occurred in the intervals while be was not at the window. (yin. Hunt—lle !alien, my Lerd. Just;ce ilstinr.v—l did not • him).—He heard no shout of &halve directed towards the constables ; understood it to he on his (Mr. Iluut's) arrival ; :..is applause kad sonic influence or witnesa to sign th,7 warrant, Le (Mr. Haut) brotight a great accession of strength velt.in l c erri ved. i:r.:lltint.—You say, depositions were made before me, in the • sum` er ; and a warrant was issued by me, in the sin bolar nufeer. Were you Commander-in-Chief of the Magi,- tiates on that day ? Witness.—l was President of the Lenesshire and Cheshire Magiitratca. I did not know that I used the singular number. The warrant was signed by me and others. The first deposi tion, not against you, hlr. Hunt, bat with rsamct to. the alarm of the town, was made about half-past chef . = or twelve o'clock. ¶%e last deposition was made immediately after you ascentkid the hustings; it was made by a person named Owen, I could not swear to your person ;.hut it was made after the carriage had drawn up, and the people had alighted. I have not got ' that warrant; I delivered it into the constable's hands; it is often the case for a constable to return a warrant when it has been served; but at there were Magistrates senior to me in age and service, it *as not returned to m e . Ido not know the exact terms of that warrant, as I Have dot seen it since. It was placed fa 'the hands of Naditi, and directed Mtn to arrest Hunt, Johnson, Knight, and Moorhouse. Owen's affidavit was made beforethe warrant was granted, and after you had ascended the hustings. When the warrant was made out, I had a very strong idea that its service would be a . task of great difficulty. Neither I nor any of my constables, to my knowledge, called on the people to make way for the constables to approach the huft. ings. I was not elected Chairman of the Magistrates on this occasion because no one • else would undertake the task : the situation was offered to no one else. I was never in the army : .1 was for a short time in the Local Militia. .- - Mr. Hunt.--I believe you saw very little service until that day? Witness.-1 don't call it service. The letters to Colonel L'Estrange ar.d the Commander of the Manchester Yeomanry, aver; sent at the same time. The reason why the two forces did not arrive at the same time was, because it was deemed prudent that, instead of Colonel L'Estrange proceeding through a very narrow street, he should advance to the Area by a cir cuitous, but mare open route. I think the warrant granted on the oath of Owen set forth that you, Moothouse, Johnson, and Knight, were proceeding through the town in a cur. Mr. Hunt.—Then, as I was in a batouche, that is not correct. Mr. Justice 14ATLEY.—YOU cannot make any remark on the warrant, unless it i; prodtved in Court. - Witness continued—l did not say, that when you approached, the snob set up a shout of defiance. I said, when tLe Yeomanry arrived, the people set up a great shout, groaning, hissing, and brandishing their sticks. When I stated that I wished to ren ! vey my opinion to the Jury, that the shout was given in defi ance of the military, I also said, and I repeat, that that part of the crowd nearest the military faced towards them. They hooted; hissed, pointed at them, and brandished their sticks. I believe these who were nearest to the Yeomanry rather ap proached thou'. Then the Cavalry, Li forming, waved their swords, and advanced to the hustirgs. If I were called on to state the partietee s pee in which they advanced, I would say, it was in sornethlre of a trot, or rather prancing; the hotses were fidgettieg con's:Treece of the nnise, and they were not in good order. I saw nene of the Cavalry gallopirg. The pace I whit to describe wa; between walkirg and trotting. I believe they advanced to the right of the Constables; but the line of Comtables had, I believe, been previously broken. The letters I sent to the Officers were writt6 in conjunction with all my brother '.llagiiteite. The Sr3Ce which the Cavalre made in their approz.:h was immediately failed up by . the people. I can not say that it was filled np by the Constables on tho right, and the people mithe lefts endeavouring to escape I only know the space wes immediately filled up. I think decidedly that the space was filled up br the purpose of desist; them le, and cut tMe the ni Mr. Justice Mt/ay.—Do you thick It was done to pull them off their horses, and injure them ? Witness.—l.oertaiply do, my Lord. The impression made on my mind, at the time, was, that the People closed in order to injure the Yeomanry. There might be some Candtablzs mixed with the People: 1 could not sec them. Ido AM kn ave that the closing was effec t ed by the rushing in of Mr. Na,:in and the Constables. I believe the People wished to close on the Ca valry. 1 will swear that many of the People did not fly when the first body of Cavalry rode amongst them. They fled when they saw the second. The moment Colonel I: Estrange ad 7aneed with his squadron, the general fight, according to my belief, took place. 1 saw very fe* children in the crowd. 1 cannot undertake to swear that I saw one. There were a good many women, undoubtedly. I heard the women particularly, noisy iu hissing and hooting the Cavalry when they first ap peared. When the Yeomanry advanced to the hustings, I saw bricks and stones flying. I have not stated that they were levelled at the Yeomanry, nor can I swear it. I wlsh to eanvey to tile Jury, that those stones and bricks were thrown in defi ance of the Minn-. I saw them attacked, amid under thht im pression. I deshed Colonel L'Estrange to advaitce. I said, For Gon's sake, 7. 7 haw they're attackinz; the Yeomanry— save them," or words to that effect. There was not time for me to consult ray brother Magistmws as to sending in mote Military, but they were with me at the window, and I should certainly conceive they h...ard me. I did not take the sesponsi hil:tr on myself. They, at that moment, were exprming fear the.na:lres. Mr. Hunt. —What fears? Pears that the People would hurt the Yeomanry, or the Yeomanry destroy the People e Witness.—l answered that. They saw the perilous situ ation in which the T:drnanry were placed. Ido not recollect how many of the filagiatrates were with me. Some of them endeavourctl to get Into the crowd, but without effect. I and my brother Mreistrats, Mr. Tattoo, tricd to get into the crowd, but were repul;:d. That was after the first body of Cavalry had arrived, and proceeded with the Constables tover.rds the hosting-. The attempt was made before the dispersion, and stance - pi:lst us the athisce of tile Caysary. Nuttier he nor any of his blether hl.szistrates had atttropted to persuade thc People to disperse. I saw suns, of the partite march into the field in beautiful order. Mr. I lunt.-And this thieg, which was so beautiful, created alarm in your tender heart? Wintes...—Thot body, which roanthed so beautifully, did create went alarm in the town. 30-trah of throe persons had large s:e:as, I won't say shoultiered like mushets, but they had them up to tit .'it. 'haul:ler,. Thu applied principally to the pony that entered from Mosley-street. Ti. others .1 could not see. Mr. liunt.—Why did you leave the winde* ? Wintw.—Because I gave n.y orders to Colonel L'Estrange. Mr. Bust.—Was the carnage too horribi.: to look at ? • Witnesi.—l would rather nut see any Aivance of the Military. ?fir. iiunt.—Then you gave orders for that 4•Wcis . you had not the courage : i witness? Witness.—l ;rave orders to Colonel L'Estrange to advance to the rapport o; tile Yeomanry; I never thought it would be nccesrary to disocrse tittin violently. as I thought they would disperse on the appreheasion of those named in the warrant ; tied I will add, that we had no previous intention whatever of disperdng the crowd. 1 winussoi r.oue of the scenes that took place after. I went down stein just as Mr. Hunt was brought in prisoner. I did not see any of the killed. I believe I did see one man wounded, who was brought into Button's house, but I would rather not swear it. I saw none at the time, but I have some blot reco ll ection of haying bract a„ wounded person—a woman—carried In a Chair this Or three hours after. I saw a woman brought into Eturtbn's house in a faint :tate, hitt not wounded, as I can recolledt. I did not see I ' one woman in a faint stale, and advanced in pregnasey, inl blood tiowing from her bosom. I think that is the woman to whom I alluded. I do.not recollect having had a woman in a fainting state pointed Out to me, and a person asking for a little water for her; I was so busy looking at you, Sir (to Mr. Bunt). I do not recollect having said to Colouel L'listrange, in Bus- ten's house, " There, Sir, is your prisoner ; march him off to 1 the New Bailey; I commit him to your care." I do nut be lieve I did. Ido not recollect some person pointing out to ma ' the danger there would be in sending you (Mr. Hunt) among the Yeomanry and constables (" Who had been already attack ing use r added Mr. Hunt). I wished to send you in a coach. I did not think it safe to send you among the crowd. I had beard that Mr. Hunt had been struck, but I will not swear it. Examined by Mr. attaterr—lle and Mr. Tattoo endea voured to force their way into the crowd, but could not; they went down together, but advanced only a short way ; they found it quite impossible; they had their horses ready to rids in, if they found it practicable in any way; he conceived it necessary to disperse the Meeting when be saw the Yeomanry in what se believed to be serious danger; he knew no other reason why the military were called its, but the declared impos sibility for the ehil power,to matte the warrant ; the service was attended with *reek danger es Me part of the police, and artounted almost to an impossibiblit deemed it expedient to grant the warrant, because they bid not before identified Mr. `Hunt with the Meeting; the apprehenalen of the ringleaders silts considered necessary, in consequence of information re ceived on eatb, and actual observation of the danger which . menaced the town then and now ; if the Meeting bad pro ! ceeded in the town, Manchester would not now have been , standing; was aware of military training; thought there was ' a man brought to Mr. Buxton a house wounded, don't know his imam _ By the Count.—l have aid as a Magiataate for stply line or ten years. I bale lined as inch sines I came star. Ido not live at Manchester; .1 live'at - Hutton, twelve miles from it. Thetis ,reds ten Magistrate& present. It was a largo Meeting of Magistrates. The Magistrates of Cheshire and Lancashire were called on to act together on this occasion. Nothing but a con• viction of the existence of imminent danger could have induced me to order Colonel L'Estrange to do what he did. I think that I ought to have been struck out of the Commission if I had acted otherwise. I should not have discharged nay duty if I had not done so. If the Constables bad not informed me that it would be impossible to execute the war:ant, I should not have ordered the Manchester Yeomanry to advance. By the COURT, at the request of Mr. Hunt.—" Had you heard that a warrant had, under similar circumstances, been peaceably executed at a large Meeting in Smithfield "i" Mr. Ilulton—l certainly had, and this was one reason which induced me, when I had consented to sign the warrant, to or der its execution at the Meeting. And, my Lord, I beg to add, that I alio wished the Public should know, that• it was the Leaders of.these proceedings, and not the People, who were objectionable. I never heard till this moment that Mr. Hunt had, on the Saturday preceding the 16th, offered to surrender himself, if there was a warrant against him. I had heard that Mr. Hunt had called end asked whether they had a warrant against him? but no more. By Mr. 8ARR0W....-I never gave it a. thought whether the warrant was to opera* only on those who were on the hust ings. It was against Mr. Hunt and others. By the Couwr. — l could judge by the motion of a large body, whether they had their arms tasked, without actually seeing their arms. Here the Gentleman's examination closed : and Mr. Justice BAYLIT observing to the Jury that they must now be fatigued, he would have the Court adjourned to Monday. The evidence foie the prosecution will close some time on Monday ; but the whole will not be over before Wednesday evening. POI.ICE. . - - -- lisw-strarar.—Yeaterdsy a gentleman came into the office, rat presented to-the Magistrate a portable deadly instrument, , which he had picked up in Great Ormond-street. It consisted of zbout half a bayonet of the point end, with a brass screw at the bottom, to he strewed on to a handle. The point and sides . ?.ppeared to have been lately sharpened. It was in a black paper case, similar to those used for knives. A person of the name of Avery was accused of throwing stones at the carriage of the Hon. George Lamb on his returning from the tasting. in Covent-garden. James Ab. , : was also charged with being one of a party who Hied to rescue the other prisoner from the custody of the officers. Me. LlTilb attended himself, and said, a I am determined net to tolerate such attacks. The abuse, the jokes, and all the lan- ' guage used towatda me I can bear ; but when any such actual offence is committed, I think it due to future candidates to pro secute the offenders. lam determined to prosecute these men." Mr. Maxis, after hearing all the evidence, ordered the pri soners to stand committed, or to find good b.iL Ysster.lay, Mrs. Thistlewood came to the Office, and re. quest.ol Air. BIRSIE to order that certain articles, which had beet taken from her lodging at the time of her husband's appre hension, should he delivered up to her, as they were things which could not possibly have any relation to the charges against him, :4:1 would be of material service to her. Mr. Ihsait asked what articles she alluded to, as he knew nothing of the matter? Mts. Thistlewood said, they were all of trifling value, but she should like to have them. There were several papers, consisting chiefly of Physicians' prescriptions, of great use to her, several pieces of rope of different sizes used as packing cords, some tri fling articles of wearing apparel, and two portraits of Mr. Henry Hunt. Mr. Maxie asked her, if she knew what Officers had seized them? Mrs. Thistlewood said, she believed Lavender, litshJp, and Salmon. Mr. Blasts directed that these Officers should be called, but thtv were not in the way, and Ruthven was applied to, who said he knew that some papers were brought away, arid he believed they were taken to Lord &clmouth's Office. On an application to Mr. Stafford. the Chief Clerk, this was found to be correct. Mr. Masts said, as that was the case he *could only refer Mrs. Thistlewood to Lord S:dmouth. Mrs. Thistlewood—" Are all the things there, the topes and every thing?" Mr. Britatt--" Certainly, everything." Mrs. Thistle wood (with a sigh)—" Then his Lordship may keep them ; and as for the ropes, he is perfectly welcome to make use of , them as soon as he pleases; the sooner, I be:irve, the better :" fle then curtsied and withdrew. MAstsonotrou-sTastr.—Yesterday the examination •f Sarah Kw, for having act fire t 3 the house of Mr. Walsh, the King's Messenger, of No. 7, Charles-street, •St. James's-square, was re sumed before J. E. CoNANT, Esq. the sitting Magistrate. The principal evidence was that of Plank, the officer, who stated, that the prisoner bad told him privately, when ordered by Mr. Conant to take her aside, that one day last week, a woman, who was a fortune-teller, came to Mr. Walsh's door, with some Bowers in a basket ; she forced herself in at the door, and would nut leave until her mistress turned her cut; she beckoned the prisoner to follow her. Mrs. Walsh shortly after gave her six pence to buy a myrtle from the w.;nian ; ,he followed her to Waterloo-place, when she began abusing her mistress, and said, .11e might want a bit of bread herself, and persuaded her to set firs t• the house, and threatened her, if she did not, that she would do it herself, ;he being a fortune-teller ; and the fear that she would do something bad to her if she did not set the house on fire urged her to it. She said she did not d• it from hatred or !Alice towards her employers. In ; her first confession of setting the tots: on fire, she said it arose from a quarrel wth her mistr:ss. She was folly committed to Newgate for trial, and the parties were bound over.to prosecute. Saturday, the Earl of DERBY left his house, in Grosvenor-square, for his seat, the Oaks, in Kent, where his Lordship was met by several of the sur rounding Nobility and Gentry, when a stag was turned out on Seven Oaks Common, which afforded an excellent day's sport : his Lordship joined in the Chace, and in the evening returned to town to dinner.

StIOCKINO OCCURRENCE.—Thursday morning, as one of the northern stages was (hiving into an inn yard at St. Alban s, to change horses, a woman, ac companied by her husband and live children, who was on the roof, instead of stooping forward threw herself backward upon some luggage, the conse quence of which was, that her head came in contact with the upper part of the gateway, and fractured her skull so dreadfully as to cause immediate death.
