SALFORD SESSIONS, JULY 2s. TUE SING ) ON THE PROSECUTION OF SA NIVEL NEWTON, AGAINST SAMUEL. WALLER. This was an indictment against Samuel Waller, a lay-preacher amongst the (primitive) Methodists; and the indictment charged, that he, the said Sa muel Waller, on or about the 17th of June last, in a certain public street and King's highway, in the parish of Ashton-under-Lyne, did unlawfully and injuriously cause and procure a great number of per sons, to the number of two hundred or mare, to as semble together, and did for a long time obstruct the said public street, to the great damage and com mon nuisance of the liege subjects of our Lord the King, and against the peace, &c. Tne second count charged the defendant, with divers other persons, with making a great noise, riot, tumult, and disturbance. The third count charged the like riot, &c. to be by shouting and singing, and wholly choaking up and obstructing the street and highway. Mr. STA eele. stated the case to the Jury, and gave the substance of the indictment as above. The defendant, an 1 persons of his class, had been in the l habit for some time past of visiting Ashton-under- Lyne, and there holding forth in the public streets, to the great annoyance of the inhabitants of the town. On the day mentioned in the indictment, Air. New ton, the Constable of Ashton, finding the defendant (who was what was called a Ratite') roaring and making a great noise within twenty yards of the church-door, approached him, cautioned him of the illegality of his proceedings, and ordered him to de sist. This he refused, saying Cuetsr and his dis ciples did so, and he had a right to do it : that he was a licensed preacher, and considered it his duty to continue the -ervice. T:e defendant, in conse quence of his obstinate perwverance, was summoned to appear at Oldham, where he accordingly attended before the Magistrates, on Thursday, the 21st, and when bound over to take his trial at the present Ses .-ions, he refused to pay the expense of the recogni zances. The defendant in the present case stood neon his right; but he hoped the verdict of the Jury would be such as to convince him, that neither he, nor any other pers:n—not even a Minister of the Church of England, if' it were allowable to conceive that a Clergyman could ever sn far forget his duty— had a right to obstruct the public highway, ranting and roaring, to the common nuisance of his Majesty's subjects, on pretence that he thought it his duty. Samuel Nea ton is Deputy Constable of Ashton.— On Sunday, the 17th of Jane, went into the street; saw Samuel Waller standing on Jonathan Whisker's steps; there were other persons with him, he sup poses two hundred - or more. They were about '2O yards from the gate of the church-yard. Whilst they were there a hearse came from Droylsden with a funeral ; the hearse came to the church a different way with the corpse from what it usually would have done. Went to Waller, and told him his orders were from the Constables and Churchwardens to make him desist. Wailer refused to do so. Got a summons for him to appear at Oldham on the 21st, when Waller said what he was doing was lawful.— They sung and made a great noise. The tunes were common song tunes, such as are sung by factory lads in the glee. Before the Magistrate Waller said he would persist. The practice had been continued every Sunday since. Waller has not been there ; they come for opposition it appears ; they are more hen twice as numerous now as when Waller preached. Mr. Waller said he was a licensed preacher. Examined by MT.COURTNEY.—Witness is a Church man—never was a Methodist ; has often gone to Me thodist Chapels, but never was a member of their society ; was not then a Constable; now he is a man in office, thinks it his duty to go to the Church of England. Samuel Waller stood in the public high way ; was in fact on the steps of a door, Jonathan Whisker's. Information was brought to him of the meeting; a Gentleman said, if it were not stopped, he would remove. Witness heard nothing offensive or wrong. They were singing to merry tunes; song tunes. Knows, in point of fact, they were singing psalms. The words were given out by defendant. The Ranters have come in a double body since de fendant was taken before the Magistrates. Defendant has never been at the meetings since. Mr. France, the Curate of Ashton, and the Churchwardens, di rected him to give notice to the defendant, that if he did not remove he would be taken up. Was sent for by the ostler of one of the Inns to a Gentleman, about getting the defendant away. There is a public house opposite where defendant stood ; the Gentle man was not a publican. The hearse from Droyls den did not come the usual road : witness supposed on account of the preaching. Re-examined by Mr. STanete.—The hearse did come an indirect road. The noise was to the great disturbance of those who I:ad to perform the cere mony of the interment ; was sure it must be. Mr. COURTNEY objected to this as new matter. _ _ James Ogden, excimilicd by Mr. STA a KlE.—Lives at Middleton ; is not in any business. Remembers Sunday, the l'ith of June ; was in the street on that day ; saw Samuel Waller preaching at Jonathan Whisker's door. There was much noise and rabble; about two or three hundred people assembled. Wal ler was preaching and singing. There was a great deal of laughing—they sung merry tunes—sung like ballad-singers down the street ; the street was crowded up; when the hearse came Walter preached louder; witness thowt it reailicr liawkind. It was a great nuisance. The CHAIRMAN said it surely was not intended to deny that this was a nuisance. Mr. COURTNEY observed, he certainly was pre pared to deny it. Cross•examaud by Dr. Bnowx.—Witness is out of employ. Does not know Samuel Waller ; did not hear his words distinctly ; he made no more noise than people could hear ; made too much noise for witness. Remembers no other carriage passing but the hearse; if any carriage or horse had coms.they might have made an opening. Heard them singing like lads in factories. Mr. SranKat:.—That is my case. Mr. COURTNEY addressed the Court and the Jury, on behalf of the defendant, with considerable zeal and ability. After quoting the well-known case of Penn, and arguing on the insufficietc . y of the evi denee to support the allegation of the indictment, he said this was a prosecution at common law. It was admitted on all hands that there was no statute, no positive law, which his client had infringed. The common law was the unwritten law of sense. It combined the purest reason with the purest justice. He had the authority of Chief Justice Hale, one of the first lawyers and best Judges that ever adorned the bench, for saying, that Christianity was part and parcel of the common law. He called upon the Jury, therefore, to pause, and investigate how that which our SAVIOUR did, and instructed his Apostles to do, could be a nuisance—to pause and consider how con duct which was sanctioned by his example, and en forced by his commands, could be a nuisance at common law. The common law being that whereof the memory of man runnel not to the contrary, it followed that a nuisance at common law could be no new nuisance; it must have been such always, at all times, and under all circumstances. But he con tended, that notwithstanding the great increase of field preaching within the last century, there was no instance of an indictment such as the present for the last 150 years. It followed, therefore, and he had a right to conclude, that in the eye of the law such preaching constituted no nuisance. With respect to the obstruction of the highway—admitting, but only for the sake of argument, that it had been proved— he would ask, whether assembling in the streets was at all times and on all occasions to be deemed a pub lic nuisance? By way of illustration, he would state a case : on Thursday last the King's highway was obstructed, not by hundreds, but by thousands, or tens of thousands; the passage of numerous carriages was, not supposedly, but actually prevented, and that for a great length of time. There was shouting and singing ; and on that occasion the Magistrates on the bench were present, and in those obstructions they bore a part. But who could doubt that if these Magistrates had been indicted for a nuisance in cele brating the day of the Coronation, the Jury would have expressed their abhorrence and detestation at it? And would they say, that for Christians to as semble to praise GOD, under that canopy of Heaven which GOD himself had spread, was a nuisance? Could they say that it was no nuisance to celebrate the Coronation of George the Fourth, but was one to celebrate the praises of their MAKER? Attend to the practice of our SAVIOUR. Mr. Courtney here quoted Matthew, chapter x. verse Tr.—tali. 9.—Mark ii. 2. —xvi. 15.—Luke ix. 5. And what construction, he would ask, could be put upon these passages, but that of preaching to people in the highways? He asked them as Christians, upon their oaths, and it was only as Christians that even their oaths were binding, was that a nuisance? Did our SAVIOUR en courage and promote nuisances? He hoped that the worthy and Rev. Chairman would not be offended with him for having called his opinion rash: bethought he had now proved that it was so. But who was the in visible prosecutor? Why did lie not cone forward? —The Jury had seen Newton's flippancy ; they had witnessed the manner in which he gave his evidence; and he asked them whether it was possible to doubt that he had given a colour to his testimony to suit his own views? He said the ostler had come to him from a Gentleman, to request him to interfere. That was the only symptom of grace he had witnessed about the indictment, that the prosecutor was ashamed to shew his face. He (the prosecutor) well knew that there was no riot, tumult, or disturbance ; that no person was alarmed or terrified. He (Mr. Courtney) repeated, that the prosecution was hypocritical. There was no law to prevent meetings of those whom they chose to call Ranters and Roarers ; that there was no prosecutor proved it. The indictment attempted a juggle on the understandings and consciences of the Jury, which he hoped they would have spirit to resist. Ile called upon them to separate what was preyed from what was alleged. Lke discerning men, they would distinguish between what was substantiated by evidence, and what was charged in the indictment. If the Jury considered it necessary for the question to be raised, in order that it might be fully discussed, they would give a special verdict ; find only the facts, and not be entrapped to bring in a lumping verdict of guilty. Why a question so important to the rights of Protestant Dissenters should have been brought to trial in that Court, he was at a loss to conjecture. He suspected, however, that the invisible prosecutor, judging of others by his own baseness, thought to succeed at the Quarter Sessions, when in a higher Court he would have had no chance. He could con ceive that a man so base as the wicked and hypocri tical prosecutor in that odious case, might have spe culated on the composition of the Tribunal, might have considered that the Learned and Reverend Gen tleman in the Chair, brought up in the Universities of Orthodoxy, possibly would pollute the seat of Jus tice by prejudices imbibed elsewhere. His client might have removed the case; but relying on the impartiality of the Chairman, he had full confidence in the Jury. In their hands were the rights of Pro testant Dissenters ; at their hands he looked to receive protection ; he should scorn to attain his end by idle I flattery; he hoped, and trusted, and believed, they were all honest and impartial men ; but if there was one amongst them who felt that respect which a Christian ought to feel for the precepts of his Sas. l- OUR, that man would die rather than find the defen dant guilty—rather than give a verdict so inimical to the Gospel, and the Savroun who preached it.— The conduct of his client was no common law nui- Isance, for it was impossible to pronounce that a' i nuisance which their very religion enjoined. With respect to obstruction, no evidence of that had been given—no one had said he meant to go that way, I and could not. The indictment charged the defen dant with having caused and procured persons to stand in the highway—that meant, commanding them to do so ; but he had no power to command them. Ile was not in the highway himself; he was standing on the premises of a private individual ; the people who were in the street might be amenable, if I any nuisance were committed, but not his client, who did not commit the nuisance, and had no controul over those who did. It was true, a bookseller was responsible if his servant sold libels ; but there was a case in which a man was indicted for causing the distribution of band-bills in the street, which was I quashed by the King's Bench, on the ground that it was the person who actually distributed the hind ' bills that should have been indicted, and not the man who set hitt) there. He was, therefore, entitled to an i acquittal upon evidence. But he asked their verdict ' upon higher giounds—he asked it frour them as Christians, in favour of who had done only what had been done by that SAVIOUR to whom we owe eve! ything which makes us better than the rest of mankind. He relied with perfect confidence in theig honesty and firmness. Mr. COURTNEY called no witnesses. The Rev. W. R. HAY, the Chairman, in address ing the Jury, said, that a case not in itself important, had been made so by the manner in which it had been mixed up with other matters. The righti of Dis senters Were not in any way at issue. The Jury had only to ask themselves, whether the assembling of 200 or 300 persons in public day, and in the public streets. was or was not a nuisnance ? They had nothing to do with the horrid case (that of Penn and Mead) which had been cited by Mr. Courtney ; but, perhaps, it might be in some degree owing to that, amongst other things, that a law was subsequently passed, according to which, by the simple registra tion of a place, persons might be permitted to preach there, provided it were done with decency and pro priety. Every person might assemble in a private decent manner, either to preach or to hear other s. But he put it to the Jury to say, whether two or three hundred persons standing in the public street, was or was not a nuisance ? The Jury; having deliberated about fifty minutes, returned a verdict of Guilty of obstructing the King's highway, in the Parish of Ashton-under-Lyne, that being, in fact, a general verdict of guilty on the first count of the indictment. Tile CHAIRMAN inquired whether, after the ver dict which had been given, as he took it for granted that the prosecution was not instituted with a view to a vindictive punishn:ent, any compromise could take place, by the defendant entering into sureties not again to offend in like manner ? Mr. COURTNEY said, that the conduct of his client had been guided by what he conceived to be his duty, and as his view of that was not altered by the verdict which had been given, I.e (Mr. Courtney) was in structed not to apply for any mitigation of the sentence which the Court might think proper to pronounce. Mr. STARKIE said, he hoped the Court would pass such a judgment as would put a stop to the outrages they had witnessed to-day; that they would remem ber the ungracious and unchristian attack which had been made on the prosecution, and prevent for the future the nuisances they had seen that day. Mr. Waller wished to explain, that in asking for no mitigation, he acted according to what he thought his duty, and that it was not his wish personally to offend the Court; to which the Chair man assented. Mr. STARKIE hoped the sentence of the Court would be such,• as to convince the prisoner that ire had no right to interrupt a Christian congregation in one of its most solemn services. The defendant denied that he had done this. The Magistrates then retired for a few mitlutes. On their return, the Chairman, the Rev. W. It. HAY, ordeied that the defendant should be put to the Bar, and addressed him to the following effect Sa muel Waller, you have been convicted of the offence charged in the indictment against you, by a Jury who have taken no ordinary pains, and have done themselves great honour by their attention and dis cernment. The prosecution has been mixed up with other matters quite unconnected with it ; but the simple question is, whether you or any other person ' have a tight to be a nuisance ? The interests of Dis senters have no more to do with the evidence than high treason has. A great deal has been said about an invisible prosecutor ; but it is evident the prose cution has been ordered by the Churchwardens for the protection of the parish, and you were not sum moned before the Magistrates until pains had been taken to make you desist. You speak of your ditty; but when any one continues to hold their own opi nion against a Jury and the law, it looks like obsti nacy. The sentence which we are about to pass upon you is not meant to be vindictive, but to shew that individual opinion is not to be set up against the law. The sentence of the Court is—that you be im prisoned in this House of Correction for the space of three months; and that you give security, yourself in £5O, and two sureties in 4.:25 each, to keep the peace towards all his Majesty's subjects, and be of good behaviour for two years, to be computed from the expiration of your imprisonment; and that you be further imprisoned until these securities be given." We have been favoured with the following extract of a letter, dated Valparaiso, March 12, 1821 : " Arrived here, the Edward Ellice, HEATH; the Lord Suffield, BROWN ; and the Indian, CROZIER ; on the Ist inst. prizes to Lord COCHRANE, for attempting to enter Callao. The Indian on her passage to this fell in with a whale boat, in which were two men and a boy, who had been 89 days in her when the Indian picked them up ; they belongei to the North American brig Essex, Captain POLLARD, a whaler. The cause of their taking to the boats was a very singu lar one; an immense sperm-whale struck the ship on the starboard bow, and before they had recovered ft om the consternation into which they were thrown, the whale struck her a second time, and so effectually, as to com pletely stave her, and she filled fast ; in this situation they had recourse to their boats; the unfortunate crew consisted of 20, and divided thems,c,lves in three boats. That which was brought here separated from their companions in a squall, and had six hands in her when she left the ship; one had been left on a barren at.his'own request, and two had died before the Indian SaW them; the first they threw overboard, but the second they were obliged to eat; they are re covering fast, and want for nothing, as very liberal subscriptions have been made for them. Captain LAUGHTON, I am happy to say, is considerably bet ter; he is now able to come on shore. The 31acedo aian United States' frigate, Captain DOWNS (the same that was taken from tlre English during the last war, arrived here from Lima on the 4th instant. Trade is not so good here as it was twelve month;, since, as the markets are overstocked with English, Amer ican, French, and India goods, and speculation is sus pended, waiting for the fall of Lima."
