Besides, a civic is not the less deserving support because a few bail men contrive to avail themselves of the advan►agr it holds out.

THE S,TA'rfI4ICSSi LATE TRIAL ion SEDIT!ON. When Johnsen, Deeseley. and Dronsumind called op to Peewit,' sentence, the Attarney.Geullal formally prayed the judgment of the Coati, on which the Chief Justice informed Awls, that ■lthoogh de; fended by Ccontel, they were at liberty In midis* Cuort piwrioni to the patting of sentence. The DP. Pendant liaeoeley then 440444. The chief purport of his ohlervalionswent to complain of tl.eeacessivebillwhich had been required, sad of the hardship. which he had oniotail finder the Suspention of the Habeas Corpus Act. Nine monthi sinconstitotionsi confinement, and wren month, confinement In conSeqsence of the demand of unreasonable bill; dating three of which ho bad beer, ill, were sorely enough for a few rash espresiiont ; not that ha navel for mercy ; as a „Tory had brought him In guilty, Ito *44 ready to suffer his sentence. This lhfehd■nt spoke at 'hit, times ; and neither the manner nor that language of the young min Pres unimpressive. In his concluding ohamatioss ha aid , it was oiled by metaphysicians, that all impressions were received through the medium of the senses ; and the limpenssinn made on him by Metal endirrance, *as net of a natal* to allay the fersour of his political opinions. Drummond complained of the bill In similar terms with Dagoeley, end strenuosity Insisted that indict. meat had been heaped open indictlttent, for no ether reason thaw so afford an paean for eseirsaire ball, on which account he called for those indictments to be tried, and depreat►d any speech from the Allot nay.Genersi affecting to Oro them up on the plea of (*.lcy to hail, there was a Staffordshire Baronet, Sir C. Welmley—(The Defendant was bete interrupted by Ilia ljnert.)—Mr. Drummond then went on to compiiin of witnesses, pett , colarly Live rey, who was hired by the Magistrates of Manchester. The Defendant, in the cootie of his address, flatly accused the Solicitor for tho prosecution of a design to "name his life, and obverted, that the evidence was contradictory, and undeserving of credit. Had he been aware of the tarn of the trial, he could have brought wit , and not hired ones either, to contradict it. He concluded litre Hagueley, by dis- Claiming any solicitation for mercy. The address of Johnston was longer and mote vehement than Minim of either of hit two triads —lle complAried that the Special Jury was not made op of Gentlemen. es it might to have been, and that not an individosi of them took a note to mark a contradiction. Ile uhierved, that it was a mere harangue that had hrue k tit him to the notion of the Manchester llef.•rmery in the first instance; and it was at the forms! and written trg•.rat of nom. beta, in varinos towns, that he had since attended at Reform Mevirogi.— With no mein decree of force and pathos. Defendant then el-scribed ilia seiattre under the Su.pension Art, Ireulmerel by the Police of Mancherer, and final discharge. without the pas. ▪ of redress. Here was the Interco of the warm espiessioni attrihipted to him, which were effects, not caries. D..f►ndant vir field base proceeded much longer, but for the fiord interroptinst of the Cow,. The Chief Justice (Comm) then passed arw ten.e in brief and forcible terms. In new part of his Lordship's address he was issterruplril by Dram mon.l—" That is your construction, my Lord;" anti nn the conclusion, when his Lordship declared that ha felt it an imperious duty to sepirsto thin, from the world, Johnston, with great vehemence, exclaim• ed, " Wo do not west you to plead against es any longer, we have had quits enough of it, let us know the sentence we are to have." The Chief Jostle* then delivered the 'esteem, •hkh we have elmedy given. . . Yee A w eo sentenced awe hot two years' imprigoment ; I ale willing to quit the country fnr doable Past panted, if yo 2 will allow me-1 pun peidy new."—The Prisoners were thew rewpoved. The Attorney-General then observed, that the Greed Jury had foond three additional indictors's, ►et that a nal prosevri Palest be entered against each of them. It Is bet jostle* to the Defendants, to ob , that although warm, they could scarcely be called di,. respectful. Johnston was the most moved, but it Me, evidently more wins to consititotional temperament, than to premeditated impropriety.
