Ile met the Defendant a few doors round the corner, and said, " What work it is:" the Defendant replied " It is." Witness advised him to go home. saying, he thought lie had some in fluence with the snob, and if he went home, it might he the means of taking is good many of them away. The Defendant said, " They have in jured tor." Witness rrnlied, " Mr. Wilson has not injured you." The Defendant said, " To; but they have—the Gentlemen have." Witness then begged him to go home, and take as many with I' as lie could. The Defendant said, " If they (the Gentlemen) will mike a birgain with me, I van take the whole home." Witness inquired what bargain he wished to make. Ile said, " If they will give me a quart of ale for every man, I will take them all away." They went out, and ut about a quarter aim hour returned. The Defend ant was with them then. The town of Macclesfield was lighted with gas. The lamps were put out while This was going forward. When they were go ing to break the lamp at the top of Goose-lane, wit ness saw Defendant advance a little, as if he were reconnoitring. He then went to his former station, and the lamp was instantly broken. About 200 or 300 persons were then assembled. There was a great deal of noise and shouting amongst them: witness did not go from Mr. Wilson's house to see the other ',arts of the town. lu about half an hour the mob Caine again, and broke the door. The Pri soner was with them : witness did not hear him say any thing at that time; he only saw that he was busy among the crowd. This lasted altogether about an hour and a hall—that is, till near ten o'clock at -800 yards from the house of Wilson ; the mob were then dispersing. Mr. Gould re-ealisd.--Tl.e Defendant was brought before I • as a Magistrate. The. Defend mist said, that some permit had pitt s cockade in his hat in a drunken frolic. Thene was written iu his hat, " Hunt and Litterts.." Witness did not see the hat, but said to the Prisoorr that he had heard far the prosecution bad adduced. In his Lordship's opinion there could not he a clearer roe. but he telt it to the Jury to pronounce their judgment 113/4111 It. The 3 tory, in the course of five n l i 111 l tr. turned a verdict of Guilty. Ralph Wright, aged g 3, a silk-weaver of Mac clesfield. was then indicted, upon a sinitlar charge. Mr. EVANS, his Counsel. said that he woolti admit the evidence of Mr. Gouli, as :scittoced in the former case, and any thing which related to the general kind and quality of the riot ; by merely required evidence as to the presence alt.! behcviour of the Defenileut. Witnesses were then called, who' denoted. that the Defendant was smolt!! the crowd, and thaj he encouraged them, by calling out, that's your sort ; Gal speed the plough !" but he did not commit any violence. Mr. Samuel Stone, of M.cclesfieid. attorney Inc the prosecution, said, that the Defendant had lately returned front the mine, and that he Ind never ob. I served any thing iinpmper in. his conduct before. Thomas Wright, the Defen dant ' s father, said. Ithat his son had been in tie artillery ; that he was at the battle of Waterloo. and •fierwart4 received I a medal for his service'. (Tile Defendant wore the medal in Court.) lie continued in tit- army tilt about a year ago. He was • sober good lad, very reveciful to his parents, and was as gnat a lad as I ever was k n own. • The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, the only qtr.:- tints" for the consideration of the Jury were, was the Defendant present with the mob. and was he vet big with them ? Thie was clearly proved by Naylor---and sinless the Jury ' tfishtlievtd his deuce, there could be no dou bt as to the guilt of the Defendant. . The CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and said, that this case was made out as clearly :1 4 the former.-- Whatever the character of the Defendant might have been before, and at, and after * the battle of Waterloo, it could not be taken into consideration by the Jury; but it might weigh in the amount of the sentence to be passed upon him, if the Jury should find that he had acted with the mob. The Jury returned a verdict of Gailly. James Parr, aged 3 G , a cl oc k -maker at Wigan. who was indicted sit the last Assizes for the county of (Attester, anti a true bill found against him for sedition and m isdemeanor, to which he do! tint ap pear and plead, was now placed at the bar and ar- NEW PICTURE OF LONDON.

Mr. Flail re-called.—The Defendant was shout. ing, and witness took him into custody, as he op- . peered to be taking part with the rest. Witness was at the Town-hall with the soldiers ; the inha bitants were much alarmed. Cross.exasairred.—The Prisoner was making a noise like a drunken man. The snob consisted principally of mannfActurera, but there were some weavers and others among them. The examination of the Defendant was then put in and read.

This was the whole of it. Mr. Hall re-callcd.—There was at that time no local dispute between the mato crs +shit men in Mac clesfield, respecting wages. The ATTORNEY-GS:NI:OAT. said, that this was the case for the prosecution. Mr. JONES then rose and addressed the Jury for the Defendant. The following witnesses were then examined : J. Clown Orme said, he was a master-matinfae.. hirer sit Macclesfield: had known the Defendant 14 years ; he had lived aid) him and had worked for him, and beets very attentive to his business. The Defendant hail eo other connexion with the silk trade, except in making the turnings; he al ways considered hint a very civil man. Ile saw hint on the day in q uestion, about three o'clock, when lie was much in liquor. Ile never saw or heard that the Defendant was against his King and coun try ; but quite the other way. M. H. Corhishley lived at Macclesfield ; had known the Defendant many sears; he worked for him eight years. He considered him an hottest, peaceable,. loyal man. - The CHIEF JUSTICE then summed up the case to the Jury. Ile said, that this was an indictment for a misdemeanor, and it charged the Defendant with a riot. The legal meaning of the word tint was a disturbance of the public peace by three per sons or more aasembling together, of their awn au thority, to assist each other 111 some enterprise of a private nature, and afterward' conducting themselves in a tumultuous manner. The first witness in this case was Mr. Naylor, who said, that Defendant was among the crowd, hissing and shouting ; so that lie was not in the assembly by any of those accidents which the Learned Counsel for the defence had suggested. He was among them, calling Mr. Wilson " Cobbler !" by which it was evident that he was taking an active part in the disturbance. He encouraged the boys to throw stones, saying, " Now, lads, go it !" Stones were then thrown. A great part of the defence of the Learned Coun sel was, that the Defendant was a drunken ;tenon ; but drunkenness was no excuse in law. If • drunken man killed another, would it he allowed or tolerated that he should set up that as an answer ? A man in that situation was answerable for all he did. The Defendant said, that they had injured him. Who was meant by the word gentlemen had no explanation in the course of the trial, but the Learned Counsel had said something upon it.-- The Learned Counsel had contended with great ability, which on all occasions he displayed, that the Defendant might have been in the crowd by accident. But what was his motive for being there ? He disclosed it when he said, " The gentlemen have injured me;' and then he added, that the mob were under his control, and it was clear that all which the others did was by his instigation. When they were going to break the lamp, the witness saw him reconnoitring. The Learned Counsel asked, how could a man tell that? Certainly, he might tell it very well, from observing the conduct of the party. The Defend ant saw the door brisket), and the casements forced in ; and yet, though lie said he could lead oil' the mob, he took no steps to do it, but joined in their proceedings. This took place after the mili tary were drawn away to another quarter, anal, no doubt, the attack was made under that knowledge. Fortunately for the preservation of Macclesfield the gentlemen of that town assembled, and saved it from destruction. As to the memorandum made by Naylor, if it had contained any thing contradictory of his evidence to-day, the Jury would have beard it from the Learned Counsel.—[Mr. Jones here said, " I did not read the paper."] —Then the Learned Counsel must have believed what the witness said. This case was proved by that witness, and by those who followed hint. The next witness said, that six men only were left to guard the baggage. T!os first word he heard in the crowd seas " Cobbler !" opposite the house of a word used in hostility to Wilson ; and the first witness deposed, that he heard the Defendant call cot " Cobbler !" It was of no consequence whether he broke the windows. and forced the door; he was with the mob, and was answerable in law. Then there were two witnesses, clearly proving the interfe rence of the Defendant, and his taking part with the rest in the riot and disturbance, not op posed by evidence on the other side : it was only said, that he was drunk. The law of England ad mitted of no such defence. Suppose they had all been drunk, and had burnt :Macclesfield to the ground, and killed all the inhabitants, would the Learned Centime' have them excused on that ac count? All the witnesses confirmed the videsice of Naylor, that the Defendant was taking an active part ; and the Jury must mint find • verdict of ac quittal, even if they thought he was intoxicated, ton• less they discredited the evidence which the Counsel DENTIFRICE.

Cross-examined by Mr. JONPS, the Recorder of Chester.—Had known the Defendant six years ; he was a wood-turner by trade. The witness was in the crowd from the cotninencernent of the rio!. Two or three times he was away for a minute or two, and had conversation with several persons— about half a dozen individuals; Joseph Farnyhough was one, and Mr. Gee another. He could not now tell the names of all the six persons to whom he spoke that night. He did nut know that he should have to answer errthist:' Ile had reduced the con versations to writing soon after, and had that paper now in his pocket. Mr. JONES desired to see it. Mr. Justice MARSHALL thought thatibeLearned Counsel could not exit for the paper, as the witness had not produced it in evidence; he had made the memorandum merely to refresh his memory, and had rot now made use of it. Mr. JONES paid, he had never heard it doubted that when a man lard made a memorundirm in writing of conversations at the time, it was compe tent fur the Counsel fur the Defendant to look at ii, in order to check theAvidriste of the witness at the trial, by comparing it with what he had formerly written. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, the witness bad not said one word about the paper; but if the Learned Counsel called for it, he would out object, , and then it must be read of,coarse. Mr. Jones observed, that Ile must make it part of his defence to raise a contradiction in the evidence. He could not for a moment conceive that he was acting won* Was he to use it or not ? The COURT—" If it be used at all, it must be read in evidence." The paper was then handed to Mr. Jones, who, however, did not read it. Cross-examination continued.—The witness made the memos sisdum at his own suggestion, after he had given evidence before the Magistrate. There was a great commotion in the town. Many were there from curiosity—others from alarm for their pro perty. Witness's object was to obtain information so as to protect the property of his master. The Defendant appeared to be drunk. Ile said, that if they (the Gentlemen) would give • quart of ale each, he would take home the crowd. There might i be 500 people there at that time. Roland Gould, Esq. one of the corporate Ma gistrates in Macclesfield, said, he remembered the numerous Meeting at Manchester on Monday, the 16th of August. On the Tuesday evening there were only six men of the 31st regiment its Maccles field. They were stationed in the Town-hall to take care of the baggage. He did not know of what the baggage consisted ; lie did not see any arms. On Tuesday evening, about eight o'clock, a great many people assembled together. They did not then appear disposed to riot. He thought they were assembled merely to learn news from Manches ter. They had done so oil the Monday evening, and afterwards dispersed very quietly. On the Tuesday evening, the first disposition to riot which he saw, was their crying out " Cobbler!" opposite Mr. Wilson's house. He did not see the Defendant among them at all. As soon as h e h ear d t h em ca ll " Cobbler!" he thoughtasa Magistrate, that it was proper to read the Riot Act. There were about three or four hundred people opposite the house when they called " Cobbler !" They had been collected about half an hour before the Riot Act was read. When the Act had been reed, the- Magistrates deemed it expedient to get as many horsemen as they could ; they got some horses, and sallied forth immediately upon the mob. The wit ness himself got pretty writ 011. They threw stones at the Mayor, at the witness, and at others; in about an hour and a half after they dispersed the mob. The rioters broke the windows of Mr. Grims ditch, the attorney ; of Mr. Barnet, a special cols stable ; of the hotel -keeper; of the witness; of the Mayor ; of the n ews-room, and of a great many others, about thirty or forty altogether. The peace able inhabitants were very much alarmed ; he did not hear any words used except " Cobbler !" but there were other expressions. NVilliam Hall, a s ilk-mantifecturer, at. Maccles field, said, he gave his assistance oss the 17th to the Magistrates, by order of the Mayor. lie saw the Defendant in Mill-street about ten o'clock, and took him into custody. He was then about 700 or glass. Sold, Wholesale and Retail, by Bayley sad Blew, Per fumers, Cockspor-street, Lomb.. CHESTER ASSIZES. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3. RIOTING AT MACCLESFIELD.

The ATTORNEY-GIINERAL (Mr. Benyon) then detailed the case :—" Gentlemen of the Jury, this indictment charges the Defendant with the offence of a misdemeanor, in having riotously assembled, in company with other*, to the number of 200 and more, at Macclesfield; and had it not been for the leniency of the Prosecutor, I have nu hesitation in saying, that the Defendant would now have been indicted lwfure you for a capital offence. I repeat, Gentlemen, that it is entirely owing to the le oiency of the Prosecutor that the Defendant now appears before you charged only with a misde meanor. By the Act of George 1., commonly called " The Riot Act," it is enacted, that if a multitude riotously and tumultuously assemble, and do not disperse in one hour after orders to that effect from one Magistrate, then the parties per sisting so to meet are guilty of felony without benefit or clergy. But, Gentlemen, in the hope that the example of your verdict against him will he salutary, lie luso not been proceeded against under that clause, and, as I have before stated, is now indicted merely for the misdemeanor. A riot, taviitlemeil, is defined to be a tumultuous . assembly of three or more persons, with one cont. mon object of an unlawful nature in view ; and that this was the case with respect to the Defendant, I think I can satiafacturily skew to you. 'Chia iudiia ment has its origin in the present disturbed state of the northern districts of this county ; end I have no doubt that, out of the twelve Gentlemen who coin- Imre the Jury, some of you are well acquainted with the circumstances to which I allude, and Fro biddy some of you may be resident* of Nisei:les held null its neighbourhood. It will be, there fore, quite tttttt ece-sary to enter into a detail of the Particular Pieta to which the origin of this riot mar be attri'iiited." The following witnesses were then called : Mr. Samuel Naylor, • printer, in the employ of Mr. Wilson, Editor of the 31raccle.Vield t our, ier, deposed, that about the 16th of August some mili tary were quartered at !Macclesfield. Oo the 17th they left it, except two or three, to go to Man chester. The corps of Macclesfield yeomanry, commanded by Sir John Fleming twyceater, Bart. had also left the town. lie knew the Defendant, who lived in Macclesfield. On the 17th August was at his master's house. There was a great crowd opposite to it, upwards of one hundred persons ; the Defendant was among them. .1 hey marched backwards and hirwarda by the house. The Defen dants shouted repeatedly, calling out " Cobbler !"

High Sheriff, preacl.ed from Psalm (viii. 10, " Verily there is a reward for the righteous; doubtless, God will judge the earth." The increase of crimes was proved by 42 persons having at the last Assizes received sentence of death. It was on record that the county of Lancaster pro duced mote criminals than any county in England, not excepting that in which the capital was situated. This was to be accounted for by the cruelty and success (greater than in the capital) with which in fidelity was diffused as the foundation of relP-Ilintt.
