Justice BATLEY.--I cannot consider that persons have a right to go armed in that way in contemplation of an attack. _ _ _ _ _ The examination of witnesses for the defence was now proceeded in. John Cross enamined by Mr. WtwAsts.—Has known Fletcher from a child. Saw bins three or fonr weeks after the Manchester meeting, and he then asked the witness if be had his pike ready, for it would soon be wanted. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . Mr. Justice ItaTtEr.-1 do not think this is admissi ble, but I will take a note of it, and wish you to state the nature of the evitleme. _ . Jr. WILLIAMS.—We propose to show, by this witness, that Fletcher was in the habit of inciting and soliciting people to arm themselves ; and therefore those who at tended the meeting might have been induced to do so at his instigation, inorail of that of the defendants, as charged by the indictment. After some observations from the prosecutor's Counsel, John Cross was called again.—Fletcher toll me the pikes were preparing. I said I slid not believe there was such a thing. He told its be could tal.e use to where there were plenty. James Chadwick was raked, as stated by Mr. Colt man, to prove violent repressions used by Fletcher against the Covert ttttt •nt ; list Mr. Justice Bayley thought it was not n.!csissible evidence. Mr. W. Lets, watch-maker, was at the place of meet ing before the people arrived ; saw them rinse in with music and colours, not different front Oraut,e meetings. Saw no arms. The meeting was conducted with peace and order. Heard an alarm after Knight arrived, but it was soon in:terabit% There were no seditious or in flammatory .xpressions used by Knight, but he exhorted them to peace, and rather to accept an insult than to offer one. Cross-exantinell by Mr. RAINP%—lie had the Ilasling don flag at hi 4 house for three or four days, with the in scription, •"l'hou waist covered with anger, sod perse cuted us. 'llion bast slain, and bath not pitied us. Cursed be their anger, fur it was tierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel." R. Haworth was at the Burnley meeting; went about one o'clock, before the large body came in. They came in civilly. Saw Knight arrive. 'Went within about ten saris of the hustings; heard alarm of military, once be fore Knight came, and once after. Hill not see any pikes or pistols ,•:i either occasion. Conld hear distinctly all that was said ; nothing was said shout overthrowing the tiovernment, or all rising in one day. When the second alarm wss given, Mr. Knight put out his hand, and said, lie still ; I can see the danger before you ; be peaceable, and keep good eider." This was repeatedly said, and he told them to go home peaceably shortly before he cause fruits the hustings. Every tiring was peaceable, except when the report was made of the soldiers. Cross-examined by air. Si•rj.tant Ceoss.—l am a weaver at Ila;lingtlon. bid not t.t.o with Lees. There Wight he %hunt 200, otol only one 114. I did not belong to them. They titialtt meet a: a room to arrange the meeting. I went acrtoot the country, and got to the place before the people arrived. Lid not see figures on t:ie Bags. James Ormrod Atkinson.—l am a shoe-msker. I got' to the meeting about one o'clock, and stopped until it as over; was near the hustings, and could hear every word the speakers s Lid. I did not hear an expression abont overthrowing the tiovernment. There was some thieg said about their rising in one flay to petition the Prince Regent about a Lim that was to issue. The peakers wished the people to he peaceable, and not to give any offence to any one This was given at the be ginning and at the end of the loudness. t 'rips-examined by Mr. NAI,IIL-1 did not remember what was on the flag, or whether there was "Ckstvt, Love, and Unity." " The King and his Throne shall be estahlished. 4 "Fr Sid th's bloody black coats, and from the Yeomanry Cavalry at Manchester, from all oppressors of the poor and needy." I will swear I did not know or believe there was any thing atilt. sort; I du not know that there was on others " Magna Charts," Henry Hunt, F.sq." To questions from Mr. Justice BATLZT.—I was there when the alarm of the soldiers was given before Knight (tame. It did not induce me to move away; I could area great part of the people, and those who were in front of the hustings. I dui not see any pikes or pistols, or stop. I never saw a pike in my life; they had sticks like walking sticks; I think if any pikes had been pro duced near the hustings, I shim's' have seen them, and none were produced in my sight ; I hearth a single re port of a pistol as was going away ;it appeared to be at a distance from Ibe crowd; I did not see the smoke. Wm. Montgomery —I was at the meeting before Mr. Knight arrived, anti stopped until it was over. There was a run, and I was carried back 9 or It/ yards. When the speaking was going on, I was near enough to hear what was said. Notlong said about overthrowing the tiovernment. The speakers frequently desired them to he quiet, and to give no offence to any one ; anti just be fore the meeting broke up, Mr. Knight desired them to be peaceable anti quiet, anti in no sense of the word to give offence. There was no riot ur offence given to any one. Cross-examined.—One Patrick Hughes who was hanged was apprehended at my house; he was working for we at my loom; he soncealed himself in my cellar. Remembers " Annual Parliaments, Univ e r s al Suffrage, and Election by %allot." I was charged with embezzle ment, but gut rid of it at the Quarter Sessions. Mr. Justice HATLIST questioned the witness, and lie said be did not hear any thing about rising or meeting all in one day. Robert Howarth.—l am a weaver. I was at the meet ing at Hatersham Eaves, and went with the prottessioo, and stopped till the meeting was over, and was about IS yards or from that to 30. Heard the speecev and resole llama .nothing about overthromiug the tioretameat. rnot fli'ey wished the people td - be peaceable and quiet, and in good order, and not to molest aooac in the least. Ne-disturbance except the slants,. Cross-examined.—No pike-Handles were found at my premises, but a shaft belonging to a loom. There was on a flag, " Open thy mouth and judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor anti needy." " Magna Char ts, Bill of Rights, Henry limit, Esq:Liberty or Death." On another, "No Corn Laws." On the first flag was. " Black Moss Iteforniers." " Thou shalt do no murder." " Universal Suffrage." " Annual Parliaments." " Vote he Ballot." I don't know what any of these are. Saw a figure of a woman holding a child, but whether it was without a head I cannot tell. In answer to Mr. Justice BATLIIT.--The flags were furled up before Knight came. Did not hear any thing about a rising or meeting all on one day. Saw no sticks, or pikes, or istols. I was carried oif fire or six yards by the peopl e on the first alarm. 'James Pollard, weaver, near Cohie.—Went to meeting with the procession; was at back-side of hustings; after wards changed his situation to the front, and was five or six yards off. Could hear what was said ; no word about overthrowing the tiovernment. The speakers exhorted the people to be peaceable, and to beware of spies, who would endeavour to alarm the people and create dis turbance. This was frequently done; and before they separated they were advised to go home peaceably. Cross-examened.—Might see the words " Ty ranny," and also the name of Hunt. By Mr. Justice BATLRT..-1 remember that it was said, if the Habeas Corpus Act was suspended, the people were all to meet on one day through the kingdom, to send a petition to the Prince Regent, that the Habeas Corpus Suspension might not pass into a law. William Dyson, of Rough Leigh, got to the ground about one o'clock; went after his children, who bad cheated him, to send them borne. Heard Mr. Knight tell the people to keep peace and quietness. Cross.examined.—linon • Witham . ; has been there to read newspapers. NMI' weal wit h Wi.halit fur the Rough Leigh flag. Here the case for the defeodaots eloped. Mr. RAINS (in the absence of Mr. Searlett) now rose to reply. The present rase, be observed, was one of as grave and serious a nature as he had ever n:et in the course of his profess I career—one of which, should the Jury be iniloced, by the specious arguments of Coun sel on the other side, to acquit the defendants, they would soon find the standard, not only of sedition, but of rel,ei!ion, raise I in et ery part of the kingdom, and from tier government of the laws we should he rcilneed to a stare worse than barbarism. The Jury had heard from the learned Counsel on the other side, an invective against the immense length of the present indictment, whielv he had termed unblushing; but that Learned Urn tlentan.well knew that such length was unavoidable, frees the nature of the charge, and must be so in all such -cases. He•(3l r. Williams) had also rotnrlained, that some of the prisoners had first been accused of high treason; but that now tle prosecutors had shifted their g rounds. It had been so, and certainly its first appeamnce was that of high treason. In its present shape, it came as near to it •as possible ; and if some of the words proved to have been used had been followed by any overt act, the ease would have assumed the character of high treason. However, the ease of high treason was properly given up, and he now stated to the Jury that the prosecutors also gave up the cliarze of conspiracy, which was in the in dictment, thnueh he was certain that abundant evidence , had been lab:before the bearded Counsel who drew the indictment to warrant his drawing it as he had done. The paints to which the Jury would have to direct their attention, were the illegalitr of the meeting, and the condoet of the defendants. * lt had been said, on the part of the defendants, that numbers alone did not render a meeting illegal. He won't, not take that propo sition withost.aome qualification, Inmate wettings, even ~. for the moat lawful purpose, might be in such numbets as to have a tendency to riot, end to create alarm. 80. not only, according to the Learned Counsel for the ile• fendants, might meetings assemble in any nansbers, but they might also go arose I. It might indeed be tree, as laid down by Mr. Justice Blackstone, that persons hail a right to have anus for self-defence; but be denied that such a right was any where mentioned as that of going to public meetings armed, or that any such right existed. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to coo s . went upon the evidence as it affected each of the iir fendants; and in the conclusion he admitted that there was not sufficient evidenre as against the ilefendaws Wade and .Istits. lie should also observe, that the on!y thing which had been proved against Adamson was the fact of his having been on the hustings with a cat Of liberty. - : - o 5 Mr. Justice BATLEY. at about four o'clock. lifffib sum up to the Jury. Ile c o e utn en ce d by en them to dismiss from their winds gay feeling of pri;jr dice which they might hav e im bib e d on th e subject of ti e present prosecution, and to let their verdict rest upon the inidence which was before them, and epos that alone. Such should ever be the conduct of a British Jury ; awl if with those feelings the defendants should be acquittesi. they would admit they bad a fair trial; if, on the other hand, they should be convicted, they must feel that it was only (rout the force of evidence. The two charges to which the Joey should confine their attention wen:— first, that the defendants and others had unlawfully as sembled fur the purpose of exciting disaffection, & .;; and the second was, that they bad assembled to the common terror and alarm of his Majesty's liege subjects. His Lordship then pro:Teded to lay down the law upon both these points, nearly in the same terms as those he used in addressing the Jury at the recent trials in York. Tu constitute an unlawful assembly it was not necessary that any riot or disturbance should take place. Ilse mere assemblies' with offensive weapons was, in some instances, helil to constitute as unlawful meeting . With respect to the terror which the meeting was calcu lated to excite, he thought it would he one of immediate danger; but if the Jury should think the danger from the meeting was remote, or only of a future rising, they would give a special verdict to that effect, as his mind was not perfectly made up as to that being the kind tai terror which would render the meeting illegal. Ile Last nu hesitation in saying, that a meeting, on the sub . 's et of bringing persons who had committed crimes to justice was a legal one, but, sitting there, be did not judicia'.ly know who those were who had committed crimes gusts as bad been alluded to. Until be had judicial knowle-ee of the proceedings at the Manchester meeting, be rocll giro so opinion on it. They might be y innocent whocaused its dispersion, or they at he guilty. He e ,... could not now decide; but, if ever the t came Julio& ally before him, lie should be prepared to give Isis opts ' on it. His Lordship then proceeded to go throug'u therthfl_, • • thence, commenting as he went; and in the contiitr his observations took occasion to remark, that ht. Sad" • ' asked one of the witnesses whether any, and what pee -1616 - 44 - 1144 adiatiNF—lrai-oemposei of wea children, in order to form a judgmeat as to teee . seat ' .. able intentions of the parties; and he added, that in a recent investigation which had taken place before bitty respecting a large assembly of a similar nature, it• ap peared that a great portion, at lent one-eightb part of it, was composed of women and children; which circum stance had made a great impression on his mind that au mischief was coateasplated, or to be apprehended or that day. In conclusion, his Lordship said, they were first to consider whether the meeting was calculated to excite tenor, from the people being furnished with sticks and staves, considering that the women were !w -hited in mourning, and that the staves were mounted with crape; and if they were of opinion that terror was excited, then all the people who saw these things, and still remained, were guilty of being present at ea antra - fel nutting, and especially those who were active Far titans. They . were next to consider whether the in scriptions amid drawings on the lags were calculated to excite sedition and disaffection; and, if so, Dewburst and Broadhurst saw them, and afterwards remained to take a part in the proceedings, then they were guilty.— Lastly, they were to consider whether they had had an accurate account of the speeches and resolutions given to them by the witnesses fur the prosecution; anti it they bail, and they thought them calculated to excite disar fertion in his Majesty's subjects, then those who uttered them, or remained to sanction them by bolding up their hands, are guilty ; but Ise begged to say, that if the Jury entertained any doubt on either of these points, or as to the participation of the defendants, then it would be their duty to acquit the defendants. The Jury retired, and, after consulting together for about twenty minutes, refereed with a verdict of— Guilty against all the prisoners, except those two (Wade and Astro) as to whom the prosecution bad been given up. It was remarked that the verdict was a general one ; though Mr. Heine, in his reply, had given up the collets which referred to the charge of conspiracy. It was, however, understood in Court as not applying to tisat charge. Mr. Justice BATLiT was about to pass sentence. when Knight requested to he allowed to say a few worsts is mitigation. His Lordship said he would give him and the other defendants till to-morrow morning to prepare any affidavits, or any statements for that purpose. •CQVITTAII OP RICHARD OWEN. Rirhard Oren was nest put to the bar, charged with wilful and corrupt perjury, in having sworn at the New Bailey, in Aossvit 130, that be saw Moorhouse on the hustings in company with Mr. Hunt on the day of the meeting of the Itith.
