Sidney Walter, by Mr. Acne.-1 am a lieutenant in the Reseed Native Infantry. I have been from India one or two years. I was at Manchester on the Idth of August last. My family reside there. It consists of my mother, a sister, arid her family. I observed the procession coming in. They were perfectly praerable. I went afterward 3 to the meet ing. Some of the processions I saw pass through Deans-gate. I I saw nothing in the course of the morning calculated to 41801.11. fears In the respectable people of the town. My Seller or sister expensed no alarm. I did not hear any One express fears for the safety of the town. I saw the mi- Mary on the field. I stood about forty yards from Mr. Bui -1 ion's house on the Deans-gate side. holt. Huston's is at the side of St. Peter's Church.

Up te the arrival of the estuary. 1 did not see any thing like intimidation on the part of the people. Cross-examined by Serjeant Ilehhoeg.—Was still in the service of the Cosapauf. but his leave is out, and he does lot receive pay. I have a mind to retire, and am now a 'lndent of the Inner Temple. I wan ealleJ to the meeting by notices ea the walls. I did not see The Observer. I bad come is from the country. 1 lived *hoist two miles IMO tows. My mother lives la tows. about four or Ave limbered yards teem Peter's-heed. lam sot a member of the Unites, or say political society. I was told who tie speak ers would be. I knew that Mr. Mont was to 'onside there. 1 did not know that Dr. Crompton, Mr. Partite, or Mr. Pearson. were to be there. I know Mr. Carlile's shop. I knew at the time he was under prosecution for blasphesuous libels. Mr. ile NT again °kited'd to any inquiry being made about Mr. Carille, who was not a defendant here, Mr. Justice RATLIT said, as be was one of those who called the meeting, the prosecutors were at liberty to show that he was nader prosecution for blasphemy at the time. Mr. Hirst thought it very hard to he made accountable Ibr every act of Mr. Carlile's life. The witness went on.—l know Mr. Wooler. his ehop is In Fleet-street. I have bees in Carlile's shop. that is also in I Fleet-street. I believe it is celled " The Temple of Res ew' ;" pan of " The Republican and Deist - is over the door. Never knew Mr. Hunt before the 18th, but I saw him at a tenths; at the Crown and Anchor Tavern; it was upon occasion of the death of Sir Samuel Romilly ; Sir Francis Burdett was in the chair ; Mr. liant was there; many other public characters were titers.—(tiers there was another ob jection raised, but after some conversation, the wheeze went on.)-1 don't know that Wooler or Carlile were there; I have not been much in the habit of attending the trials at Guildhall ; I was not at Carille's trial ; Wooler Is a pub- Heber. I believe; I never saw Mr. Hunt at any other place but the Crown and Anchor; I never was at a public meeting before that of the lOth of August. The divisions marched in order, keeping • step, seven a-breast. They did not march so regular as a regiment of sepoys. I emit say what number of persons were assembled; they were ealenlated at 100.001.1. The place *as quite full. I heard Mr. Hunt's address. It did not see the carriage in which Mr. Hunt was. Re-examined.-1 saw the persona assembled, but I can't say is what numbers. Trey were not in military or der: If they hail I might have guessed their numbers. In August last I hail nut beard that Carlile was convicted of any crime. Mr. Carlile's trial had not then come on, and I must presume a man to be innocent until he is Paned guilty. Had heard in August that Wooler was tried, but I don't know that he was convicted. I r saw yon in company with either of them. Cie me I never saw in my life. I slept one night before the meeting at my mother's, the other at wry sister's. two miles out of the town. The people its Ilii held had not the appeatance of regular troops. I saw lea large staves. Tin people did not appear to me ready te light for Mr. Mont if there should be occasion, for *et WI • - TRIAL OF MK HUNZ AND OTHERS. MOUTH D:ll.—Vonoc, FRIDIT EvaNlxe. The Court met this morning at the usual hour of nine, and the e►idence for the defence continued. The examinations to -day were directed to disprove the terra► said by the pro secution to hale been felt at the assembling of the meeting of the 10th of August. The principal witme-sea whose de position.' were taken were moat resimrtnble merchants, ma atifacturers, and other inhabitants o: Manchester. The first witness called was Robert Wright. who. being examined by Mr. Hum!. de. posed—l live at Hollywood, abont five miles from Nlan ehester. I ant a list-mannfaeturrr. I remember going to Manchester on the lath of August last. My house is shout a mile from the main fo3'i. between lees and Mariehester. I went to see the procession. I saw the Oldham, the Roy ton, sad tiaddleworth divisions. They were perfectly peaceable, and walking in a kind of orler. They had considerable numbers of women and children mlxed with them. I saw no large sticks or bludgeons. riev . made use of no improper language. They neither insultea nor assaulted any person. This was the procession which had the black flag. I took my horse and rode to Nlanche.!er to see the meetlog. I did not go in any of the processions, nor have I any connexion with those called reformers. I reside in the neighbourhood of Mr. Duncough. I 33W nothing that created alarm for my person or property. thongh I am a man of considerable pro- , perty. lam n married man: I have a wife and family • I leg them to go cud see the ineetlnrs. It was assembled w hen I arrived. I arrived on the field nt•sr one o'clock. I was there half an hour before Mr. Hunt came on the field. I took up my station In the field near the line of constables In the space between the hustler( cad Mr. Buxton's house. I observed thwondrict of the people: they appeared perfectly peaceable. n, saw note of aids aimed with krge staves or sticks shoutililoGed 'es ♦ soldier;higgiderg his Musket. I did not obarrve orb le staff. Tae ground. tone‘hieh I stood was high ..aatl co uld see all the crowd : hut I saw no heir sticks or stases shouldered. I reruttinei, and saw the mili tary come on the ground. Examined by the t'onn'e.—l saw them advisee towards the crowd. Tice crowd cheered when they came on the field at Mr. llex.lon's house ; the military cheered again. I heard no groan intr. hooting, or hissi % lien the military advanced, that Indicated resisfasee. I heard vothin- said on the hust ings est orwagieg resistasee. I was voids W yards of slit hustings. and could hear what was said. I saw Nothing thrown at the nraftery; I saw no sticks Wit spin appoaition to them of in defiance of them. . Esamined by Mr. liVNT.—i saw nothing that riveted any alarm fur the barely of the town or of my property. When the military arrived on the ground. the people Merrell. and the military cheered again. There was a little panic ih the outskirts of the crowd as the military appfotebed. I heard a cry of „Be fi rm." and I thought it was intended to allay the fears of the people. lest some accident should occur la mole running away. The sudden running away would creole dauger. Tigre use a panic when the military approached. and the ewers from the multitude rather re-assured me. I saw the infantry arrive in Dickenson-street. I did not hear Mr. Hunt say, turning to them. " There are your enemies put them down, and. haying got them down, keep them down." In the advance of the yeoumnry to the hustings. they passed within one yard of me. During their progress from Mr. Button's house to the hustings, I kept my eye upon them.— There were neither large stories, brick-bets, Cudgels, or blud geons. hurled at them. When the cavalry passed I did not see the people close in again. The people endeavoured to make their escape, and did not press on the yeomanry. I heard no expression of alarm at the appearanee of the meet ing before the military arrived. I heard no request made by the constables, at the time of the approach of the military. to have room to serve a warrant. I did not hear them state why they were proceeding to the hustings. I remained dear the line of special constables all the time. I was on the field till the dispersion of the meeting. Cross-examined by Mr. ScsacrrY.—l thnnght the mili tary. as they vluteer,. were going to take somebody on the hustings. I sow the constables near them. 1 was shout forty yards from the hustings. and I retreated abcut twenty o r thirty yards nearer Mr. Duxton's house. When I had f.ne towards the beatings. the line of constables was on the left. The crowd was very thick towards the hustings. I attended the meeting of January. I was at no meeting of blatiketeers. How did you reeelve notice of the meeting I—l saw it In the papers. The .11ameherter nbrerrer I—Yes. Do ) O' take in that paper?—No. Did you ►ee it at the village, or in what house did you see it? The Court objected to this as not evidence. What number of The Manchester Observer did you see? —lsm w the baturilay's met before the meeting. I obser►ed in it the requisition, and the sicnatUre of persons rrduested to attend the meeting. I went to the meeting as a spectator. I expected Mr. Hunt to speak. I did not know Carlile, nor hid I heard or reed. at that time. that he was indicted for blasphemy. I say this on the best of my recollection. I cannot recollect now that I had heard then that he was under prosecution. I did see The Manchester Observer regularly. I cannot recollect that I bad read in that paper the account of the Smithfield meeting. I attended the meeting in Ja misty. at which Mr. Hunt presided, hilt I was not at the dinuer after it. I knew there was to be a meetins on the 9th. I had heard It spoken of. and I had likewise heard that it was put off. I know the defendant Johnsen ; I have known him shout a year. Where did you see him first ?—I cannot reroilcer. I p.m his shop in going to market, and sometimes rill in. I hare read in his shop the newspaper; never mi.rh. I never saw any paper but The Manchester Chserrer in his shop. I never heard him read it In his shop. Will yon swear to that?-1 swear Ido n,t r...olleet it. How often have you been in his shor %bout I dozen times, How long did you stay?—Sometimess nt.n..te ind some times half an hour. In that time were you not employ ed in readinc p dales! publiretions 1-780. I du not recollect. I !wirer spot: to him of Ccbbett's arrival. I bellee I saw it first in time papers. I have seen The Manchester Obserrcr in other places sides Johnson's shop. On your oath. were you not desired by h , vn to "end the meeting of the ifith?-1 think be asked mar i` I wrsolot attend. Did he tell you who was to be there?—lie said Mr. Hunt was to he there. And Mr. ruffle i—No, he never spoke of him. All 1 know of Curiae I saw in the papers. I never heard that he opened a shop fur the sale of The Rersblican. and Nine's works, but uuly through that mediates. Did you tier real these worts !---Nevet. no atom ' By the COURT.—Front seeing the divisions you could Judge whethef they hltd been drilled ! I thought they might walk as well if they bad not been drilled, I should not think, from their appearance. thin they had been drilled. I saw some of them in the greets. I eoold tell by hearing the approach of a body of noes. whether they were regular troops or not. There was nothing of uniformity in their step. I did not observe that they were locked in walking. In the debt the people pressed very close to the hustings. I think they were too close for offen sive operations. William Thelwall.—ls a builder at Manchester ; was there on the 16th of August. Ills house is about 900 yards from the plats of meeting. Has a wife and family. His house is in Lloyd-street. Srw some of the processions coming in ; they came in a peaceable manner. Ile felt no alarm ; neither did he hearhis neighbours express any. Has considerable property in Lloyd-street. There was nothing in the ap pearance of the processions d:fferent from those he bad seen of benefit clubs. Some few had sticks. There were a good many young women amongst them. Saw no shops shut op until evening. Was at the meeting about half-past twelve. He saw no one armed with long staves. Where he stood was the opposite angle lo Mr. Burton's house. Saw the cavalry artist!, and form in front of the house. Saw theta approach the hustings. No resistance was mane. There were neither stones nor brick-bats thrown at them ; If there had, he should have seen them. Crosa-examined by Serjeant Caoss.-1 stood neer the Quaker's Meeting-hone*. bat farther .lows. 1 know John son; never itIIPW him until about three dais before the 16th of August.

I am sure I heard no etrpraiskns of alanii amongst my neighbours, on account of the people essemblinv I knew a meeting was to have been holden on the Oth of An pet. I did not understand, however, that it was for the pur pose of electing Members of Parliament, Tike those of air °thighs's. I have seen this notice before. (A placard was put into his bands, signed 11. Hunt, for collie( tie meeting). Re-examined by Mr. Heme.—l can't swear that I have seen a correct copy of this before the meeting. Robert Grundy called.--(The winged* 'Welled to give his evidence, until he hail had his expenses ; let Mr. Justice BATLIIT said, he never knew of a Judge in similar eirevidi stances ordering his expenses to a witness. Mr. 11 uNT said, so far as he was concerned, he was quite willing to pay him his expenses). The examination then went on. I sat is the woollen trade, aid-live at Salford.

I re mained in that eapeefty is the held until about half-past one. I hate not given In my depositions. I staid in the field until you came, and some time afterwardi. I remained until the cavalry made their appearance. The several processions were coming up in the mean time. I cannot say that I was in the line of constables, but I was very near them. When' I stood might be from l 6 to to yards from the hustings. I went to Iluxton's house after the cavalry appeared. Toe meeting was then partially dispersed. The parties came up in an orderly manner; there seemed to be four or Coe a-breast ; the had colours and music. No particular isn presslon was made on my mind at the moment. They were as peaceable as It was possible for such bodies to be. I did not observe any staves, but I believe some had sticks. They were walking-sticks, such as people generally have when they come from the country. I did not-see key of them offer any insult or violence to the respectable pooptelleere. Wheel I stood within GO yards of the hustings, the people promised very close against me. I did not then skew my stiff. and I think they may not have known that I was a special consta ble. Some of the constables did not exhibit their staves. I saw the cavalry arrive. By the COORT.—Was any opposition made to them ?—I did not see Cny. Any thing to intimidate them ?—Nothing that I saw. Nor any groans or hissest—l beard three cheers. and I believe the soldiers returned them. I did not hear bootlegs or hissiogs, or groaning.. Did von see any stones thrown at them, or urin the air! —I did not, my Lord. Hail you your eye on them es they mere advancing / No. I reeeded &little; I wished to get out of the meeting. This was nt i e right of the cavalry. By . Ili:MT.—Had you any fears for your own safety or the tows from whit you saw?—Not any until I saw the ca valry come upon the ground. I understood it was not the intention of the Magistrates to interfere with the rimed's,. and therefore I wins easy on the subject. Upon this under standing. I felt no alarm from the touduct of the people. Did you see the yeomanry saw them come up, and the people about me tried to get away. Teem was no resistance offered. I then, for the first time, begin to be alarmed for any person.

I have no connection with any persons who were there. The bodies marched. They did not appear to have leaden. I said they came in sections. hat by that I only meant that they came some abreast. 1 did not see them in the streets. Those that went into the field marched like a file of soldiers, a-breast. I did not see that any of them had a mark of di' , tinction. or command. they marched like persona who !aid been drilled. I doh% knoll that their appearance confirmed in in) mind what I hod heard of drilling. I don't mean to say they walked as regular as soldier*, het they were a little more orderly than persons walk in the street. From their manner of walking, sin you think, on your oath, that they had been drilled 1-1 do think tLey bad some in structions. Did you mean to say, that the impression on your mind war, that they had been drilled I—l hare said I believed they got instructions, bat of drilling I know nothing. How many werethere I—About 80,000. but I don't know much of public meetings. Their conduct was quite peace able. As they came in, they formed round the hustings. I can't say they all brought up their banners to the beatings.. I was never nearer to them than from 16 total yards. I did not try to get nearer. I remained with a friend of mine, a spe cial constable. I saw no reason to be alarmed in Manches ter, after I heard that the Magistrates bad determined not to interfere. VII put you a case. Suppose at the: meeting speeches had been made of an inflammatoty nature by various speakers, sod in ridicule of the local authorities, that is, the Magis trates, I ask you, would you be confident that such a meet ing would be safe in Manchester?—l think speeches of that Lind always have a had effect ; hut as I never beard such, cintlht give an answer. trupposs a speech of this sort. " The farce of petition is now over; a million and a half of men have petitioned for Reform. the greater part have been rejected. and none attended to. And should the people ever again stoop to any thing like petition, they will deserve what they now suffer for their dastardly conduct. But we are confident that the Spirit of the country will never again condescend to pray to those whom the people themselves ought to delegate. the most determined men in the corntry are in the ranks of the Reformers. Where can the clans of corruption find writers of equal talent to Cobbelt or resolution to Cartwright. Ate. ? Behind you is starvation ; before, the battalions of comp lies. On all hands we ate nothing but great Noblem.-1, Plowmen. Pensiooers, and a horde of black cattle whom they call Bishops, Fundhulders who consume 40,000,uti0., a 'ear of the public money, and those who give you a bullet when yea cry for bread." Do you think, after hearing such a speech as that, there would be no danger from the mob.. [This waft pert of it speech of Mr. Hunt's at a meeting in Smithfield.] Mr. Ht MT said this wall not proved to be a speech of his, and it might hare been made by the Learned Counsel him self, for aught he knew. Mr. dcaat.rry.— I s that decorous, Justice BAT LIM—I think the question may be put, not as purporting to be words used by you, but as a supposi tion of the Learned Counsel himself.
