HARRISON, FOR SRDITIOUS WORDS. The indictment in this case charged 'hit the Defendant, Joseph Harrison, being au evil-slispused peeress, did, upon the 1511 i of August, 1819, unlawfnlly and seditiously, with isstent to bring Into hatred sad contempt, lex, and to excite to tumuli and insurrection his Majesty's liege subjects, use and utter the following our& : the words were them set Furth—" That the Government had starved the people; anti that it was right that the people should starve the G ment." "That it is iseermary fur the consent of all three of the Eames, King, Lords, and Commons, in make laws, whkh cannot afterwards be altered but by the MINI consent." "That the Commons House was the 1101111, of Assembly of the people, where their rights should be protected : bat that when the people asked fur their rights they threatened to make war upon them." " Can laws peueredissi from such • austere be called the laws of the laird! ur is it fit that we should obi 161111 ?" Mr. WINTON, for the Crown, stated, that he should he very brief in his address. The Deferdarri, Joseph Humus, stood charged with having used the repressions imputed to hint in t h e indictment, with a view to excite the people to tumult awl insurrection, and stir up • haired gad contempt of the Government. The day upon which those expressions were stated to have bee• used was upon the 15th August, 1819, one day previous ha the celebrated meeting at Man. dimity. The Jury would feud that the 51aevairates of 51auctreater, aware of the meeting which was to lake place there upon the 16th of August, and beaming that a sweating at SIM kport was to he held up...t the 15th, had seat over to Stockport Mr. Matthew Cooper, in order to malice and leper* to than what might pa.s. Upon Mr. Curpre's arrival in Stockport, he had found • large as. world, occupying the Union Mine. Mr. Harris*. the L fehdasit, was paraching a sermuma-a sermon iu *MA there had bees, as the Jury wuttld lad, a greet deal of seditioa MA a little religion. Mr. Cowper had takes soles of wiat he beard, awl he would be called before the Court. If the Jar! believed Mr. Cowper, they avoid my that the De (radios had uttered the words impaled to ; sad MOM se. is the same comps.., be (she logrand Citassel) hid sever beard. The questions foe the Jury world be—lirse, whether the words were tittered by the Defeadmit? sad, seat, whether those words had the atesaiag imputed to I hem is the initrailoes of the itedietatest! Upon wittier of these owes. Sans did it appear to him (Mr. Beeps') that the slightest doubt could arise. Mathew Cowper ezamitted by Mr. MAIIILT.—Is k pYblic accountant in Manchester. Qo the lbilt of August (Sun day) went to Stockport, to attesd a lecture advertised at the Windmill-roonui open that day. Went to the rooms shout six is the evening. When beget them, found Mr. Harrison preachnig to a large concourse of persons. Harrison had begun prearhing before oilmen, could get ism the rooms, therefore he had sot heard the beginning of his discourse. Harrison was in& pulpit. His discourse continued, wittier should suppose, three quarters ores hour. Witners„as sues se he left the room, took stoles of what he had heard. Hy the COURT—Thuegla a ihoesand persons mutt Wive beet, present. The room stm treitamach eitrded. By Mr. MansT--Witoesa went there on permeate he lake notes. Was instructed by the Magistrates of Maaelseater to do so. Could not take notes in the room no stemma of the crowd. Took his lodes at the Bolkeley Arms, within a quarter of an boor after he left the room. The int head on which he heard Mr. Harrison lecture was upon the pro priety of living soberly. Under that head Harrison milled upon the Priest& of reform generally to Mistain from the use of tea, coffee, tobacco, and other excisealde articles; that, Defendant said, was the only su r e way of CRUSiIIE t he re form which they sought. Harrison added, " the lin vernment have starved the people; and, therefore, it is At that the iteople shqnlil starve the Government." Thal ended the discourse upon the lend of sobriety. The next head was on the advantage of l,viog righteously. Mr. Harrison said the word righteously applied as well to the rich se to the pox ; to the governor, as to the governed. He then slated that the Constitution of Eugland consisted of King, Lords, and Ominous. He added, that it was neces miry fur all the three Estates to make laws, which could out he altered but by the same consent ; that the Commons House was the House of Assembly of the people, where their rigbts might to lie protected ; but when people asked fur their rights they threatened to make war. He added, C an laws pruce:ding from such a source be considered the law of the land, or is it It we should obey them? Wituess was al Manchester next day. There were 100,000 people at that meeting (the Manchester meeting). Stockport is only six miles distant from Manchester. Cross.rxa•yord by the Ddendiak—Was • witness on Hours trial at York. Mr. William Shaw, examined by Mr. BeNTON the Windmill-rooms o■ the 15th of August. Thu rousts were much crowded. This was the day before t►e blanches ter meeting: the Defenelaut was speaking; he said bs was very happy that his townsmen had refrained frost &risking ; by so doing they would starve the system that hail so long starved them. He added, " You will have a dark valley to go through s the thunders will roll over your heads, mid lightnings lash in your faces." He continued, 0 England has been the paradise of Europe;" and be hoped it would he the paradise of Europe agsiu, and that it was a corrupt Go vernment, Crosaexamiord by Defendant.—lssuer the Defendant mid " starve the system that had starved them."

Gave notice to the Magistrates of what he bad beard at Stockport or the slay after, Monday. Did nut hear the text. Was sot present when the Defendant was praising the constitution of England. Mr. George Hemming, examined by Mr. leaded the Windmill rooms on the 15th of August by or der .f the Magistrates. When he w ent is, beard De fendant say—He was happy that his townspeople had refrained from drinking ; if they would stick to the system, the system that hail starved them, they winald starve. They Lad a dark val ley to go through, and thunder might roll over their head, sad lightning lash in their face; but if they would stick to that, they would gaits their point. Went to Stockport with Mr. Shaw, the last witness. Did uut go with Mr. Cowper. Cross-eaamiurd by Defendant —ls a labourer—works at any thing he can get to tht. Has been • soldier its the meld key. Was at Malta. Never fought there. Did out run away. Never leaped into a draw.well to screen himself from the sway. I. - Reinui;miued by Mr. Manwr—Were you drilling tbs Rw dicals ou the Sib of August?-1 was nut. This was ibe case for the prosecution. Mr. Harrison addressed the Court in his defence. He stood before the Jury, the Defendant said, under different circumslaures from those is which he had been placed upon a former Joy. The present indictment was something more credible than the former; bet still it bad not specified when, where, bow, and under what nitration the words had been spoken, and be bad therefore found it difficult to make out a defence. He might possibly have made use of some of the words charged in that indictment ; but if he had made use of all, in his opinion there would have been but little of sedition ii his coudect. By the common law auy tiling might be construed into sedition— " For learned lawyers at their ease, 14 Twist words and phrases es they please." He could not take up his Bible and read three chapters without uttering something which might he called seditious. He could not afford to employ eeunsel, but be would have employed a solicitor if he could have found one ; bet aulieitures were unwilling to set fur reformer', and be therefore was his ones attorney and bis own counsel, urine so far as the Learned Judge would, as the law expressed it, assist the Defendant ; that was to say, the Prisoner. If persons were to be prosecuted fur preaching, the best days of old Eng land were over—they were gone—they were bed. He should nut be long alone. He should have company enough. As hog as money was to be got by informers, there would be no want of prosecutor, or of prosecutions. At the last trial, be had entertained tin hope of acquittal. The Attorney. General had on that occasion pleaded hard against him; but it was his duty to his employer. The Learned Judge had 1111111UI. d up bard against him; but he, too, must please his employers. The Cates Jurrirs-1 have no employers, Mr. Harrison and you know that well. What I said, upon the occasion to which you allude, I said because I thought it. Go on in yowr defence, but confiee yourself within the ►uesdn of de. cency. The Chart cannot vermit federation it► be cast upon persons sitting in this place. Mr. Harrison could take the hint. That which he bad said, be also had said because be thought it. Times bed been when bills of indemnity could not protect the guilty. Entree aid Dudley bail been banged with their bills of in. &madly about their necks. If preachers were to be pryer. ieuted, they bad better out preach at all.—[Here Mr. Harrison opened hia Bible, and quoted at large.)--Seppose be were to preach er to cite, and to allude to pennies in the higher walks of life, be 'night be prosecuted. Suppose he were to opeu his book at the sth chapter of Jerernien.—[Here the Defendant quoted again at kaigth.)--How should be explain the Scrip. tures at large, without sometimes taking texts which uiigbl be offensive? Why were out such texts lakeu out otiose. tier? Or, why were nut the Ministers of the Gospel told at *nee what texts they might preach from, and what they meld mat It was dangerous to name the higher powers. If they *peke disrespeelfelly of thews, that was direct eeditiew If they were to speak respectfully, it would be supposed, of 'course, that the respect could mot be worant—that it wee mere contempt sod itiessy; and that would he modifies ton Suppose he 'ant to the 234 rbspi , r of Estkiel, the !bits rue.. [Here the Defetodaiit sported J *novelette sedition ! "The people ',Elbe load bad oppressed the poor nod needy." There +ass/defies ! Age* in the 3d chap. of Amos.

The language which he hod been reading, Wit had bees, his own, would have been called sedition It hod hoes said, that Mieisters of the Gospel ought not to eugage in angry politics. Mark the word " angry." He, the Defendant, hod ever minted angry politics; out lie would state what his reastriev had been foe cowinsesiciag hia public clover as Reformer. First, it war to peevest the dose. eniunti 0000 of infidelity, which he *wad to his mos row heel mails progress *moor the Reformers. His father, who was a Minis.

He hail a book in his pocket worth its weight ' in gold—it was war. Answer to Bishop liorskis Ser mons. Many quarrels had Ise had with the reformers on eccuent sal his defending and propagating the Gospel Amon Item. His next reason for hecomiug a reformer bad been to relieve the necessitrins. He was himself a pour man, but he might have isoluence with those who were nut so. Truly, however, it had beets said by Mr. Hours iu his alma. neck of the preset year, that " some men's charity would be their greatest foe" Su, indeed, had it pruveil with hint the Defendant. He had never thought it necessary to take up arms in order to attain Reform. He had always thought it would be enough if the higher orders could be couvineed that Reform was actually desired by the pen. ple. On this conduct he would slamd or fall. There was, be thought, a law in the reign of Queen Amor, that no maw should be prosecuted fur words spoken. Another law had been passed is the last reign, that eu man should be prosecuted for words spoken, valets information were given of these words within four days. But 160%V, they might see truth, bat they must out speak it : and this pritacipk was he be sitectioned by the Juries of the Country ! He looped not. He hoped better things. Surely the Gentlemen of the Jury could not sell themselves to work tech wickedness. The Defendant then went on to observe upon the evidence. The first whams, Matthew Cowper, bail ant beard the beginning of his discourse. He bad picked up a few words which, with a little twirling mid twisiug, might tierce the purpose of his employers. He bad not taken notes at the time; bet he bad told the Jury that the Defendant had advised the people to abstain from exciseable articles, and that they would Ikea starve the system which hail starved them. He did not remember to have used such words. He might have said that he was glad to see the people abstaining from druNkenness, by which too often their families bad been starved. Another witness had charged him, the Defendant, with advising the people to make war. He thought war was mow made upon bum; • war such as he had often cha racterised in his speeches as "an illegal legal war." The witnesses against hies bad bens police.utficers of 31anclieatert they had masters to serve, employers to please ; and theJery would dad that he (Mr. Harrison) bed been an injured man. One tritons had spoken of the *dyer, isements of the lecture, but be hod sot sees them; there had been sio adveitisements but what were comesow Pesach occasions. The eighth MINI of the Judith's*. dogged him with a heavy crimes on proof had hots give. in support of that coma in the erideoce for the prosecution'; but it was is, the iiiilictinent ' and he (Mr. Harrison) must disprove it.—(Hite the Defendant read the Bth count.}—He was amidest no verdict of guilty could be found epos ray count. The Atturuey-G I bad laid a stress epos the circumstance of this lecture basis, heels given the day before the great Manchester meeting. He was quite weconeeeted with that meeting; he had sot attended the meeting; be hid walked towards Manchester ou the day of the meeting, but before be arrived that meet ing bad bees dispersed by the avoids of the cavalry. if it could have bees shelve that in his lecture he bad twee al luded to the Manchrailer meeting, then indeed the Jury might go along with Mr. Beurin, and coon. et the Illth of August with the 10th. But persons attended his lecture, who would have retired in disgust if any attempt bad beets made by him to excite the people to rebellion or to blood shed. He was lot • malicious man. He wished s,o barns to his worst enemy, and he trusted the Court would permit hint to bring so evidence or two in his f . Stanley Hasidim' examined by Defendant —Was at the Windmill.roous on the 15th of .tuc,,.t, about ten missies before the service begs.; and runt iuned there ustil after it was ever. Every thing was regular, as became a place of worship. Mr. Harrison preached from the Scriptures. He exhorted the people to be peaceful, sober, sod imlustrions ; and mut to go to the public-houses, which were the ruin of themselves amid of their families ; beard nothing about sten iiig the Government. John Burgas examined —Wits at the Windmill on the 15th August. Jellied in worship on that evening; there was singing and prayer. The room was not so full as be has seen it; there were about sOt► present. All was peaceable. De fendant preached not from a Newspaper, bet from the Scrip tures. Did not bear the word government mentioned. Heard the Defrodantezhort the people ii) sobriety. He said, many, by drinking, had brought their families to starvation. No thing was said about the people starving the Government, nor that it was a corrupt Government. Wilma must have bard Defendant if he had said .4.. Robert Jump was at the Windatilt-rooms on the 15th of August. The preacher, to kg, discourse, eactiararril tba people so peeve and good order, and advised them la alh. stain from public•buusea.
