Mrs. Limey Dae, u shopkeeper at Heaton, had known the Defendant, and his wife tau, for up wards of three years. Until he WI under tins charge, lie haul aluitys borne a good character. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL. replied, and the Chief Justice summed up the evidence. Tire Jury consulted a few minutes, and pro flounced the Defendosit—Gsti/ty. Chief Justice BEST—" Julia ilinclicliffe, you have been convicted upon evidence which could leave no doubt upou any snarl's uriod of riots coin usitted on three successive days at Stockport w t i n , co tm ty ; t h e ohicct of those who %sere cuigiged iu such tints being to compel the masters to raise the wages of those who were in their employ, or to pre veut persons from winking who were disposed to work at the wages the master was content to lacy. This unquestionably is is very serious ',Weiler—Ml offence the Court Van under no circumstances pass over with a light punishment; fur there wo u ld b e an end ultogether of our iiimmilisetures, if servants were to he permitted to dictate to their 'Posters either the amount of their wages, or prescribe on what terms they would work. I think there never was a case of this sort snore aggravated than yours counot but recollect that it is a very little tune, scarcely a year, :once persons of your situatio n 0 1 life, being at the moment reduced to distress f circumstances which no Minion bring could prevent, the wealthy traria the community were must boon. tiful in extruding their aid to them. Prosperity sooner returns than vou lake odvairtirge of the &- annul which arises out of that prosperity, mid at tempt to extort from your musters sari mugs as in the fiist place would ruin them, 'lien yourselves, and, lastly, your cumitry. I did not make the ob servations to the Jury us to tt.e ar.r.sunt of the wages, with any other view than to form my opinion with regard to your punishment. It appears at the time this riot was committed, a girl could earn f ow U.. to Is% it week, I ) .,ys the came, rind men :2-7.. a week ; and there is no doubt ti n t at this 'mit there ass plenty of work for all ; so Lunn it ,4 clear, that if men were disposed to work, they might have had it ; and that if they had families; their children would have been wealth to them, because the younger brunches of their families might hove earned a larger sum than is allowed for the support of persona in a much higher situation —inure Ono is earned by some licrsoris on whose education large SUMS have been expended—inure than is paid to those who encomiter perils of every description in defence of their country : and yet, with such wages, you are not content. There seems to have been a combination smug the work men, mid those who were reeking a common cause with them. I think the country is wider great obligation to Mr. Garside for the lir 1111 l CPS lir limo displayed, and the law must make him u suitable re turn by protecting him. The only way to protect him is by the punishment of offenders such us you are. It appears that you were most active; there was not one occasion upon which you were not the ringleader. lie almost every thing that wee door, leaning to had consequences, you are Initial to be the principal. You have had a very Harrow escape, mid you are ranch indebted to the mercy of your Prosecutor ; for I state it, not as my own opinion only, but as the opinion of the Learned Judge who sits by ow, that if you hod been indicted for a capital offence, the Jury could not have hesitated about convicting you, mid we certainly should have felt it our duty to have left you for executioti.— It appears from the evidence that a dwelling-iiinise was begun to be denaulis.hed—that you had broker. down the shutters rif the windows, and were pro ceeding to further violence, wires, fortunately for yourselves and the unhappy persons in the house, you were stopped by the arrival of the military. I have to state, for the information of all whom it may concern. that beg, 111 l i l to break a house, us a way that she we you intend to demolish it if you are not prevented, is a capital offeirce ; nay more, if you begin to break a house fur the purpose of eisternig to ill-treat those who are in it, it is also a capital offence. No mau cuss doubt diet a complete capital offence has been proved against you. lam .sorvy to find that nu Eng:lislimut. could be found to act •a you and those cosscerisell t, Ws you have done ; there was a time when nothing could provoke out Englishman to ill.t:•rat a woman. I ant sorry to find that the poor persons in the house were sill females, and that tlov were 1 , 0 apprehensive of de struction that they weir prs)•iog to God for deliver unce from their danger. A more aggravated "" cannot be, and the sentence of the Court is, that you be imprison e d for the term of three years, usual pat• a bile to the King of i•. This is mercy to you —the walls of a prid.,ll will separate you Gout your wicked companions, and preyent you from do►ng further mischief." The Prisoher - wept bitterly when the Pe it truce was passed, and appeared to be deeply affected. Joseph Baker was next put to the bar. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, the Defendant w a s also indicted as it participator it, the riot which the Jury had been occupied in discussing, as re specting tlit• last Prisoner. He was also chargrd with having incited others to rioting and tumult. lie should saw no more. The Jury woukl hear the evidence in support of these charges, and they would hod their verdict, of course, according to that evidence. Mr. Thomas Garside said, he ►emembered on the 14th July there bring a great concourse of peo ple about his house ; Ise supposed thomamils. He raw the Prisoner at the bar anumgrt them ; y were committmg sets of violence. The Prisoner was brought iutu Its manulactory by the cavalr the 16th.

Several other witnesses corroborated this state ment. The Detrudai,t Pint!, that he was not in the mob with the intrtuion of doing nut' uuseitier. His house was opposite Nit-. .....

Bugnley, Johnson, and Ds otnniowd, were then arraigned jointly fur a coo. spirary and seditious expressions. They all plead ed 11ut Guilty. Beguley said he thought he ought to traverse this indictment likewise. Julien:oil observed, that upon the came terms as with respect to the other indictment against him, he was ready to be trued now.

Johnson begged Ilia Lordship's pardon, lie at the n►oment confounded the two indictments together. He repeated that he would try the indictment found against them individnally. Drummond said he certi,iiily was not prepared to try the second indictment, and lie should traverse it until the next Assizes. Joltiness said a thought had jult struck him, hut if be wrong, he was sure their Lord hips would cheerfully set lons right.
