Toe LORD CHANCELLOR will sit oil Thursday RA COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Wertimorrot, MON DAY, MAY U. THE KING V. HUNT, BAN! FOND. HEALY, JOHNSON, AND KNIGHT. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL prayed the judgment of the Court on the above Defendants. Mr. Hunt wished in know, if the Attorney-Ge nerul meant to tile any affidavits in aggravation of punishment. as he hail several affid.rvits which he would nut give the Court the trouble of hearing read, if the Attorney-General had none of that de•c►iptinn to tile. The COURT intimated, that the regular course would be fur Mr. Hunt to put in all hie affidavits first. • Mr. Hoot then handed op several affidavits, which were read in the followisig order, viz. Henry Hunt's affidavit states the circumstances attending hie going down to Manchester, and thence to the period at which he was arrested by the military on the hustings on the Ifith August ; after which the rffitivit,states, ne was assaulted by the constables *it!) tht ir staves, and the military cut at hint with their pi/torch, and one iierson, a Major General on half -ply, struck him behind his back, and that he had his hat taken oil, for the purpose of affording a fairer op portunity to his assailants of striking him; and that he had no intention of proposing any resolutions, nor did he know of any person who intended to pro pose any ; and finally, that he had already been put to considerable expense in law, expenses which hail pressed very seriously on his properly. already much depreciated by the pressure el the times. Joseph Johnson's affidavit stated, tleit he attend ed with intention of promoting Parliamentary Re fa►m by legal means, and that he did not intend, nor any person to his knowledge, to pas simil•er resolutions to those psssed at the Smithfield meet ing, and that if such had been proposed he would have opposed them. Joseph Ilealv's affidavit prated, that he had no previous knowledge of the flag or motto thereon, which was carried by the company with whom lie marched to the hustings. That he had on the 16th of August been crushed and trampled on, and in consequence had stilt blood ever since that he suf fered great hardships when put in confinement, and has a wife and fire children dependant on him for support, amid that by his absence in confinement, at tending at his trial at Yo►k, and iii this Court, he has lost nearly all his businesses ass apothecery,and most have to begin the world again. Other affidavits were put in of persons who had signed the requisition for the meeting, stating that they had lived at the places set against their name.' at lilatichester, for periods of from 5 to 25 years, and that some of them were weavers; could not, by from 13 to 15 hours labour each (fly, earn at the utmost more than 94. a week, and some not more than 60. per week ; and that they thought Reform in Parliament would lead to u redress of their grievances. N. %%lilt worth's affidavit states that he had seen 400 persons who had been wounded by sabre cuts, gun-shot sousids, or limited by On trampling of the cavalry. Robert Hall and Joseph flayner, two members of the Committee appointed in London to distri• butt relief to the sufferers at Manchester; their affi davits state that they had seen 300 persons wounded with *Are and gon-•hot wouods, many of whom were women and children. IVi Cordingley and Jan Lees, of Oldham. Their affidavit contradicts the teroiniony of Stand. ring given at the t,ial respecting Healy stopping at his 'muse to drink. The ailfi.lavila of Thomas Driver and John Lin ney. of llaneltr►trr—that they knew Chadwick (a witness at the trial), and accompanied him on the 16th Augli,t„ and ih.st he shouted when the people were opposite lthirroy'a house ; that lie had propos. ed to them to i purrhase pikes for arming themselves; and finally, that they would not believe him on his oath. The ATTORNEY-GENERAI, objected to the rend. ing of this aihid a it , tending as it did to attack• the character of a. witness ezniniiird at the trial. Mr. Jvartcx BEwr --11 It goes not only to attack the tentless's character, lint it goes to charge him with an °treater nearly amounting to high treason. Mr. flutit—. 4 It guns so alleW, my Lord, that he was the hero of los own story which he told at the trial. It goes on to that." Mr. SCARLETY contended that they bad had time to send fur these witnesses from Manchester to York in time to hare them examined at the trial, as they actually did send for and examine one wit ness to contradict the testimony of Mr. Hunt explained the reason they did not call the witnesses at the trial was, that they could not he found; hut the person who could invalidate Willies' testimony they pricked upon immedi ately, and brought him up to York accordingly. The Court consulted whether the affidavits of Driver and Linney should be received, mid John. son not wishing to press it, they were ultimately rejected. Another affidavit of Matilda Jones was also rejected on the same account. Mr. Hunt said, liclure tittering any. thing in ex tenuation of punishment, he begged the Court would separate and dismiss from their minds all the evidence given, and applying to those counts on which they were acquitted, and attend only to that applying to the fourth count. This was the more necessary, as he perceived that that testimony had weighed on the mind of one of their Lordships. Mr. Justice BUT said, the ill-treatment or Murray, the constable, was certainly evidence tot their consideration, as•that fact served to shew the illegality of the meeting. Mr. float adverted to his affidavit, in which he lad sworn that his intentions were not to pnt siAsi. tor resullgloll6 ai those pa►srd at Smithfield. The Lord Chief Justice. ABBOTT said—" The Court will :uttered to your affidavits." Mr. Hunt proposed that the Court should bear the Defend:tuts in the same order as at York. The Court did not accede to the proposition. hut decided the Defritelvtit% were to address the Court a• tli!y stood in the indictment. Mr. Haut then rose and said, that he had ex pected the Attorney General would have had many affidavits to filr in aggravation of punishment; lie thought lie ought to have had costly in justifica tion for calling up himself and his co-defendants for their Lordships' judgment. Ii • must say, that after the length of time occupied in this important case, both at York and in that Court, and after a decision of a Jury, in oppwation not only to the feeling+ of the country, but to the Learned Judge who tried the cause--. Mr. Justice BATLEY —" I can't allow you to state that, Mr. Hunt ; had 1 been of the Jury, I should certainly have found a verdict of guilty as against you and some of the other Defendants." Mr. Hunt resumed. and sail, that he went to atten , l a public meeting, to obtain that reform for whirl, millions had petitioned, and he thought it perfectly legal for Inne to do in. That ■s to the flaw of whirl, so much had been said, the practice of bearing, thew was as old as the country itself. All clubs for convivial purposes—the freemasons —nay the peerage itself, had their standard-bear er.; and lie would, therefore, submit, that the files could not make the meeting illegal. He quoted a speech of Lord Sidttiouth's in the House of Lords, to shew, that his Lordship, speaking under the advire of the Law Officers oft he Crown, thought additional legislative measures were necessary, as such meetings could not be prevented by ant• of the laws ill force. Ile,therefore, submitted to the Court, to consider what sort of crime lie was accused of—a crime which my Lord Sidmoutle and the Law Officers of the Crown doubted the existence (deny law to punish; he begged the Court to con sider that with reference to the puoi-limeut to he meted out to them. Mr. Hunt here quoted Mr. Burke. who haul thought such meetings useful, and haul called them the " Safety alve•s" of the Con. stitution, but Mr. Holton and the Manchester Ma. gu-1 rates wished to seal up hermetically these "safety valves," even with the blood of the Re. formers. He contended that these Reform Meet ings had been productive of much good, inasmuch its they never heard now of any homing's of mills, cur robbing of butcher► and bakers, or any other species of violence ; they now approached the Prince and Parliament with Petitions, and sought their ob jects by legal means alone. He adverted to the effidavits of the requisitionists amid contended their long res;dence at the same place was a proof of good character ; for they would have soon been remov ed, had they ever rendered themselves obnoxious to the law; " but such men (continued Mr. Hunt) as Hulton, of Halton Hall, remain above the reach---" Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT" No man, how ever high in rank, is above the reach of the law of England." Mr. Hunt contended, that it was not necessary to inflict any punishment on them by way of ex ample, if the Court should think any punishment aas due to them. us the late Acts of Parliament stow rendered it impossible for any person to com mit this ofFritte again. He went on to state. that he had already suffered a grievous puttishrhent, not only to the personal ill-treatment he had sustained, lint be the iticap icily he felt of bringing to justice the perpetrators of the acts of outrage which he had enumerated in his affidavit. He asked the Court whether it was no punishment to have witnessed all - these outrages, and yet be unable, from the want of pecuniary means, to bring the utletiders to justice. It had been said the Courts were open to the rich as well as tlik poor, and so it had been said was the Crown and Anchor open to both; but he apprehended that a poor man iu both places would 110011 be kicked out. Ile must ►ay, though he wus dissatisfied with the Jury, yet the ten or eleven days of the trial at fork was one of the finest specimens of British jurisprudence that ever was exhibited. Mr. Justice BAT LEY desired him to forbear eulo gizing him: he hoped he had dune his duty. Mr. Hunt resumed, and complained that though hr bad so much reason to be satisfied with the Judge, the same was not the case of the Jury, nine of whom were Magistrates, and they might have found the Defendants guilty by way of ,saving their brother Magistrates; but he trusted their Lord ships would not participate in such feelings. Mr. Hunt now animadverted on the choice which lie supposed had been made of the Learned COUI/. Pt I who led the cause for tbe.prosecation—imagin ing as he (Mr. Hunt) had once or twice foiled him at his own tactics, he was selected to bring, in addi tion to his great abilities, a little personal pique. He then apologised for having taken up so much of the time of the Court. and said, as the other De. frodants were to speak for themselves (all were pre sent except Knight, wham the Court intimated would not be brought up for judgment), he would not intrude any longer on the time of the Court. Johnson then addressed the Court from a written paper, the principal scope of which was to shew that from the previous meetings in Spafields. Smithfield, and in the north, he was led to believe they were not illegal, and that if he was doomed to suffer for this act of his life yet it was one of which he could never repent. Healy addressed the Court also from a written paper, and read it with apparent difficulty and em barrassment. He alleged the purity of his motives, and his previous sufferings in confiuentent, and also dwelt upon the contradiction of the witness Stand ring's evidence, es appeared from the affidavits which he had put in, aud coirjored their Lordships to act by hint as they would wish he should act by them in similar circumstances. Bamford then addressed the Court with a con. eiderable degree of fluency, and contended for the goodness of the motive by which be was actuated, lie endeavoured to chew that the whole of the mottos ou the flags were susceptible of an inno. cent interpretation, and concluded with observing that at any future period of his life, unless jostle* were to be done .ass the perpetnitors of the violemes at Manchester, he should abstain from adapting patience to the o people who might be complaining of their grievances. He did not stand • • there to erlt their Lordship far pity et numibiseva• lion, but for justice only. The Arroamer.Geosaat, addreeseed the Caen in an mhle speech, which we regret nor halite will not allow ns to give at any length. lie contended that so far from the offence of which the Defendants had been convicted being a slight ease„ it was only falling short by n,t iottensible step of the very high est crime km-,wii tr, the laws. Ile contended that the affidavits of the Defendants now put in, and their cwiduct also, was so far from being in et trout,. t hat they were both high aggrava tions of their misdeeds : he said that tin persons who the array and order of that " tremen -111111..' 111 , r . iiiro as the Defendaut Hunt had term-. 1 it, but must be satisfied they had net it, g o t with a view of actual immediate violence, yet of exhibiting such an appearance of their strength as would intimidate and overawe the con stituted authorities. In allusion to what the defeiods ant Hunt had raid of the inscertsitety of the law out the subject, previous to the passtity; of the last AO., he said there never was a time at which meetings of that nature were not illegal: the indictment wits not framed on any particular statute, but on the common law of the land. The Learned G.-lineman then adverted to fliatit'saffida- Vit . '. in which he swears to have no knowledge of the re-P.41160ns which were to be put, awl asked if it was credible ghat a wit' should go that distance to address it meeting of 60,000 persons as a deliberative body. Ile contended that, if the defendants had sustained any personal hardships they had brought them on thern.elves. lie disclaimed any personal feeling, but, in pur*lta ore or his duty to the public. lie culled for the judgment of the Court on an offence which, though only called a misdemeanor, was • misdemeanor of the highest and molt aggravated iia ti re. Mr. Scaut.mr would not have now ris-n, if it had not been fur some personal remarks which k i d f a lle n from Mr. Hunt, who seemed to think that he had been selected by his Learned Friend, the Attorney-General, from motives of which he was very sure his Learned Friend was incapable, a• he shouid have deemed them the highest insult to himself. Their Lordships knew, that it arra from his particular situation on thatcircuit,and the absence of soother Learned Gentleman, which occasioned Lie being appointed to that duty. Mr. Hunt seem ed to think that he had some feeling of personal resentment towards him, but he could answer him that he was totally mistaken ; be never had sod never could have any such towards any Defendant brought before that Court for punishment. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to comment on the address of Mr. Hunt and the other Defendants, which lie agreed with his Learned Friend in thinking en aggravation of their office. If he s3id Mr. Hunt really went down to Manchester with out knowing any thing► of the nature of the resolu tions to be proposed, which he had sworn he had, then he was the greatest meeting-monger he had ever met with. Serjeant CROSS made a few observations on the defence now set up by the affidasits,:aid that which was offered at the trial, and contended, that by the manner in which such meetings were got up, the public were grossly imposed upon. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in passing sentence, went through the whole of the evidence and affidavits, iind commented on the whole as he went on. It was he said, a very painful part of the duty of that Court to pass asentence, by which the liberty of any subject should he abridged ; but in conformity to the duty which they owed to the public, they must now act in discharge of it. The sentence of the Court was, that Henri , Hunt should be imprisonedi in Ilchester Rao, two years and six months, and afterwards enter into recognizinces for five years, himself nr 1,0001. and too sureties in 500/. each. Johh•on, Ilea ly, and Bamford, to be imprisoned one year in Lincoln Castle, and nfteroarils give similar sureties; each for himself 2004. sad severally two sureties in 1001. each ; and is the mean time to he committed to the custody of the Marshal of the King's Deficit. Knight was not called up for juegment. Mr. Hunt asked if it was to be solitary con finement ? Mr. Justice BATLEY informed him the Court had not given any such order. ►►is confi nement was to he with es few privations as the due execution of the sentence would allow. The Wend:into then bowed to the Court, end withdrew in the custody of the tipstaffs, who lied hackney-enaclies in wasting. _in which they were conveyed to the Hinge Bench Prison. The es. sembled crowd cheered Hunt loudly as he passed through the 11311. THE KING V. SIR CHARLES WOESEI.EY, BARONET, AND JOSEPH HARRISON. These defendants were imniedistely after put on the floor, and ?dr. Justice BAYLKY passed the Pea tence of the Court as follows 4 Sir Chap. ‘Volsely to be imprisoned in Abingdon gaol for eighteen months, and afterwards to ewer into recognizance* fur fire )ears, himself in 1000/. and two sureties in 500/. each.
