Yost, Richard Bradhurn, John Shaw Strange, James Gilchrist, Charles Cooper. and James Harrison, having been charged with the same offence, have thought lit to withdraw' your p.ea at Not Guilty, and to plead Guilty to the charge. It may happen that the law against you may not be exercised to its full extent; but if this should be the case, you wil recollect that you are indebted for this clemency to the mercy of the Court, and to the mercy of those vet y person.. against whose lives your designs were directed. It uow only remains fur we to pronounce the sentence of the law, which is, that you he drawn on a hurdle to the place of vitectitiote, and there be hanged by the neck until you are dead, and that your heads be then struck off, and your bodies divided into tour quartets, to be disposed of as the King shall direct.

A few ini tttt tes bettor twelve o'clock Mr. Hunt entered the Court with a Intel in his hand, and his trial elegantly bound, sender his aim. Upon bowing to theft Lordship., the rest of the defendants, Johnson, Healy, and Bans. ford, were called , and appeased also on the floor with Mr. Hunt ; when !lie latter addressed the Court in the following woods:— " To move for a tide to shrw cause why the verdict in this cause should not be set aside ; and why a verdict or Not Guilty Am& not lie entered upon the record ; or to chew cause why a new trial should not he wanted." The Lord Chief Justice.—Mr Hunt, you had better state to the Cowl uu what points you move 14 a flea trial, in older that each of them may receive a distinct emeddetation.

For admitting evidence which oa zlit to have been rejected. 3. Misdirection of the Judge to the Jury. 4. That the Jury gave a verdict culinary to the three thin of the Judge. Mr. Hunt also alluded to certain Resollitions which had been passed in Smithfield, not being admitted t and like wise in admitting evidence in some instances which ought not to have been received ; and iii other cases, rejecting of evidence where it should have been heard, particularly respecting the training at White moss. The Lord Chief Justice.—Mr. Hunt, it would be im possible tor the Court to forin any opinion till they hear the whole of the evidence read t and, therefore, the bet ter able to accomplish that circumstance, this motion must stand over till next Monday. The parties will then stand exactly as they do now, and possess the sante rights. Mr. Scarlett here addressed the Court, observing, that as he (Mr. Scarlett) was connected with this trial, he entreated the Court that be might have the assistance of the Attorney-General, and who was so occupied at the present moment with his imperative ditties, that perhaps it might be impossible for that great Law officer to at tend on Monday next. The Lord ChiefJustiee.—Well, Mr. Scarlett, that will be seen ; and if such is the case, and good reasons are assigned for it, another day may be appointed; but it must stand for Monday at present. Mr. hope I shall hear the evidence read, as I have several remarks to make upon it. The Lord ChiefJustice.—Certainly. Mr. Hunt.—My Lord, all of the parties arc now here, and if your Lordship could appoint an earlier day, it--- Lord ChiefJustice.—.Mr.Hunt, I cannot alter the day ; it is impossible, it i. never done.
