TO THE GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, AND FREEHOLD- GENTLEMEN, • StIOULD be unworthy of the honourable • station in which you kindly placed me during four suc cessive Parliaments, if I hesitated distinctly to avow the principles on which I once more presume to solicit your in dependent suffrages. I yield to no man in firm attachment to Civil and Religions Liberty, blended as it immutably is with our admirable Constitution ; and I declare myself, in ,the truest sense of the words, the Friend of the People, for the rause of the people can never be separated from the cause of their King and country. Acting un these principles in the conscientious discharge of my public duty, I beim, to the utmost .1 my power, re sisted the progress of sedition and blasphemy. I have sup ported those measures which subsequent events prove to have been indispensably necessary for the preservation of the Constitution; and in the anxious promotion of all real and practical improvement in our Laws and Constitution, I have nuifurnily opposed all vague, visionary, and dangerous pro. jects of reform. It has been my constant endeavour, duriog the last four teen years that I have been your Representative, faithfully, zealously, and diligently to promote your real interests, by devoting my personal attention to the arduous and impor tant duties of this metropolitan County. I therefore eonlitleully trust, that by your votes and inte rest you will sanctum my parliamentary conduct, and that your early attenclauce at the pull will replace me in the dis tinguished situation to which it is the highest object of my ambition to aspire. In this anxious hops I have the honour to be, with the greatest respect, Your obedient and faithful Se►vant, WILLIAM MELLISH. _ _ _ Bush•hill Park, March 20, 1820. STATE OP SHE POLL. W. Mellish Cr.

YORK ASSIZES, SATURDAY, MARC!! 18. —.,—• THIRD DA Y--(Coscumsp.) THE KING V. HUNT AND OTHERS. Jonathan Andrew. examined by Mr. Scaniere.—l reside at Endbam Hall, near Manchester; I was head-constable i■ Mauchester in August last; I have some property there; I was on the ground about n o'clock on the 16th of August ; it was arranged that a line of constables should exteud from the house where the Magistrates were to the hustings, or ■s near as possible to them; when I went to the ground there was a line of constables formed from Mr. Buxton's house to the hustings, which were then erected; shortly after the hustings were removed several yards backwards; I took no. tice of the different partici as they arrived ; they marched in regular military order, as I have seen soldiers march; about every fourth or fifth man appeared to hare some coo. mend over the rest; they were five or six abreast; a great number had sticks, and massy carried them as a soldier ear ries his musket, that is erect upon the left shoulder; I saw a great number on the emend with sticks, but they did not tarry them in that form; 1 saw many Hugo and cape of liberty ; when each division arrived there was tre meudous shorting by those who were on and round the busting.; there was also waving of sticks in the air; I was hear enough to the hustings to recognise Jones, whom I know, but I slid not bear what he said. I was upon the ground when Mr. Hoot arrived in a carriage. There was then an immense crowd of people assembled, and the crowd which accompanied bite was also immense. I have before seen as many people assembled together as I on that day saw. I think there were between 60,000 and 70,000 persona present, they consisted mostly of labouriug people; there were very few respectable persons present. I conceived so large a meeting could bare no other tendency Hutu to over swe the respectable inhabitants of the town and its authori ties. The people appeared to have come (ruin a distance. It was a very dusty day; I thick it was a warm day. Cross-examined by Mr. Bennow.—Junes was one of the first on the busting.. Ido not know that be was employed as a mechanic to erect the beatings. I ennui tell whether be was directing the crowd nut to press too close or not. Cross-eximaiued by Mr. Hunt. —I think it was the division that bad a banner with " Equal Representation or Death," upon it, that marched with their sticks shouldered. It was a black flag; I saw them on the Frosted; the sticks were very large and thick. The people who encoded the meeting appeared to me have come generally with shirks. I said thought the meeting amounted to 60,000 or 70,000 persons. The sticks 'sew were not seek as I generally see people use in walking—they were larger; I cutout say whether they were as long as walking sticks; I was not near enough to judge exactly. The size of the sticks vatied materially, se. cording to the size of the men. I think they were generally four or five feet long; they were nut all ad thick as my wrist. I do nut know from whence the party beating the black lag came. Tly-y sere marching a breast; I do not say that every m itt bail his stick shoulder. .1 ; but Ih. y carried them general! ) in that position. Some of the cominandtre alas had slit ks. I think that division ctruaisted of 3,000 or 4,000 men; they had nticks generally. I cannot tell how many sticks were among the whole party; I cannot swear that half of the party, or that one in four had sticks; I am positive there was snore than one in tea or tree in five so armed. 1 have already stated, that when Ilse) came upon the ground they shouted, told waved the sticks in the air. I bad no particular compaction on that day ;we had one linadred constables on the field, hut I council point out any one who saw this at the same time that I did. After the party had waved their sticks, they marched towards the hustings in the same order they had come opal the field. I heard nu order of " Slioaltler arms^ I saw MO use made of those sticks in attacking the constables; I taw no such attack made. I saw other divisions arrive, who appeared to have sticks also; they might have made use of their Mielks without my toeing them. 1 was eblettelth the Ma. &Orates, and therefore had nut so good ai'oppoitanity of seeing what took place. I saw very few woorea, and very few girls indeed. The space of gruuud was so large dirt I could mot make an estimate of the number of females. I was near the Magistrates' boom when you arrived. I was not at any time near enough to the hustings to bear what you said. 1 saw neither fire arms, *wools, or any other offensive weapon, but storks with the crowd. I saw nu per. son that day hut at the infirmary. I saw no person struck, nor did I see soy of the constables make use of their staves. I had no occnsion to make use of fume. Thomas Hardman examined by Mr. irreLeDat.e.—l was a special constable on the lath of August ; when I first got to the ground (Moot 11 o'clock) there was but a few people assembled; soon after several parties cause iu in regular mi litary order, carrying sticks. 'noose that I saw corned them in the left hand as soldiers do muskets, and seemed to have command over the others. They marched towards the hust ings, and were cheered ■s they went up. I heard two peo ple speak from the hustings before the whole party arrived. The first speech was, " There has been an order given to stand six yards back from the stage, otherwise you will afford your enemies an opportunity of ramble' in with their ca valry and all their corruption." The other speech was soon after, I know rot which was first, it was as fellows—" If you had ever so stout-hearted s leader, you will do no good melees you stand firm to your post."—Both these speeches were made before Mr. Hoot arrived. Josses spoke one of the speeches, the first I believe. I know sot who spoke the other. I saw Mr. Hunt come up is a baroucbe, attended by a large crowd. I was theo at a distance, and could not judge how many came up with him. He got upon the hustings, which were at that time removed eight or ten yards farther from where the constables stood, than they were on their first erection. 1 think there were 60,000 or 10,000 persons present. The alarm in Manchester was very great then. Cross-examined by Mr. ainnow.—l have am 'mete named James Hardman, a brewer. Jones was some time since em ployed by him as au engineer and millwright. I do not know that Junes was employed to erect the hustings. 1 was between 15 and 20 yards from the hustings when he spoke. A Mr. Green was with me, and also beard him. I do not know any body else who was present at the time. Mr. Green is here. I think the words are correct, as Mr. Ellis, who was near me, wrote them down. lam ogt positive that it was Jonas who made the first speech, but I believe that be did. Oross-mtamined by Mr. Hnnt....—l am • dry..alter, •ad acted as • special constable on that day. I can't say that a Reporter, standing within five yards of the hustings and tak. ing motes, is likely lo be more correct than myself. I saw the Oldham division march I. in regular order. I •ever saw a copy of the indictment against you. The expression of one of the men, who appeared to be • leader, attracted my attention to the Oldham division. The commanders had sticks, which they caroled in their left hands as soldiers do muskets. I did not see soy of the men make use of their sticks. I saw no black Aar. The sticks were very large outs, bat not so bug or so large as a musket. They were of different sizes. Some were three or four feet loom, and •bout half as thick as my wrist. I saw no perrons injured that day. I temained on the ground till you were taken to the New Bailey. I accompanied Mr. Hay to London. Mr. Hunt—did yon give the same evidence before his Majesty. Ministers as )ote have give, here? Witness.—Does your Lordship think I ought to answer that question? Mr. Justice BATLEY —Yoe may answer it. Witness.—l did. I ant not • magistrate. Mr. Hunt —Did you compare the evidence given to Mi olste►s with what you now say? Witness—l do nut think proper to answer that gnptio•. Mr. Justice Bromxv.-1 think you may say whether die evidence give• on both occasious be co. reel. Mr.Scaamirr.-1 object to this question. Mr. Justice Butmcv (to Mr. Hunt)—Do fro■ mean to con. tradicttbe evidence of this witness ? Mr. Hunt—lf I ran she', that be has equivocated, I think I base a right to do so. Mr. justice 13.11YLZY—You may ask any question tending to invalidate the testimony of the witness. Mr. SCARLCTT — I object to this question. Mr. Hunt—lf he gave different testimony at different times, I wish to know where and bow be corrected Isis opi nions. Mr. fleciticrr—The Defendant bas no right to inquire into what has taken place elsewhere, unless he means to con tradict the witness; it is under a pledge of this sort that such questions are allowed. But how can the witness be contradicted i■ this instance, without calling sonic of his Majesty's Ministers into Court, which cannot now he done? If the witness says that he has not given the same evidence is both places, then the inference will be against his testi mony, and I shall have no opportunity of shelving the con trary. If Mr. Hunt can conirisdict the witness in any legi timate form, I have nu objection to his going ou. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—I am of opinion, that a general question of this kind might be asked, not fur the purpose of being received as evidence, or of contradicting a witness, but is order to go to his credit, and of seeing if his evidence was substantially the same, Mr. Hunt said, that sooner t h an put any question likely to disturb the verdict when given, be would waive the question. Mr. ScAaLerr—Don't be afraid, Mr. Hunt; if you are acquitted, the Crown will nut mo►e fur a new trial. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, that if he received what was, or rejected what was not evidence, thg Crown would certainly best liberty to move fur a new trial. Mr. Hunt waived his question, and the examination pro ceeded. Captain Healy, of the Manchester yeomanry cavalry is a cousin of mine. He was on duty on that day. He-examined by Mr LITTLIMALE—The expression which attracted his attention to the Oldham division was usrd by a man who carried ■ slick ; tie said, who said we Oldham lads thirst nut come here to day ?^ 1 heard nothing else. Joseph Green examined by Me.Serjeant Homoca-1 was at St. Peter's area on the 16th of August, in company with Mr.Hardsean. Abuut the time I got there the first body arrived. They marched iu the array that soldiers generally march through a town; is what is called column, I think. I was on the ground until Mr. Hunt was takes from the stage. Various other bodies arrived after that I have first men tioned. They all marched nearly in the same 111 anuer. Tbrre were also sassy gamesome Some of the bodies bad mimic. A Curl Cale' wpm; the ground nearly at the Dame time with the firm body, and that I think was the only PRICE id. bestinge. Mr. Hardmaa and myself bad been ariauging all re of coestables from the cart to she Magistrates' house. la a short time the cart was removed about six yards further from the constables. I should say that before this removal the low a constables did Out reach close to the cart. Tire parties m 4 !bey arrived formed round she cart; I beard no word of com mand given; I saw nu muskets, Wit some of them bad sticks ; I hoard a short address from • person on the host. logs whom 1 did not then know, but shunt I have Mince beta told is rained Jones ; I do hut know his perria.—( Here witness repealed the int speech mentioned by last witness man order has beta given, ir.c.)—Those surds were take• down by Mr. Ellis, partly frost my dictation and paltry from Mr. Hardman's ; in my opinion the alerting waa cot. rotated to excite the most slanging sensations in the nom& of the inhabitant. ; it certainly appesrad to me far Inure a general rising of the neighbourhood then of a Emirate for any peaceable purpose, rod especially far iletibeimrion ; I conceived deliberation impossible; they seise ►y far 411, great a body fur persona at the extremity to hear *hat was said in the centre; I estimated those who finish the ritia, who storied, and who Gerrard to take s lively interest in the • proceedings of the day, at shout 40,000. lo roomier ace of ~Mhat I had wen, I joined is an alLiaeit ; 1 wade U at elf _amp instance; I weal from there I was ataudiag to the Magistrates' room for that pui porn.. . . Cows-examined by Mr. Bassos` —I do not know tic name of any one else who heard this, but Ellis, whom have named. {Whist was said mast have been heard on the hustings if persona mil-tided to it. I was :twenty yards from the hustings. The words did not strike me as eery rapine. • clumsy. A desire had been expiessed by the Nlacieirates, I understood, though I did nut bear it from oho tr his, tie. undoubted testimony should he had of what took place, 41.1 this was the first of the proceedmev.

It was Mr. Moore, one of the priacipal constables of the tow,. who communicated to me the wish of the 3fagostratva Mr. Ellis mast have berm near one when I handed hien air pocket-book. I did slat say, " Ellis, take my book, said write down those words you have heard," as lie advising it that he bad sot heard them. I was Boroughreese fr 1816 to 1817. 1 remember many meetinze during th.it lime; they all attracted my attention, but tine more than the rest certainly. It was the meeting of the 19. ii of March, 1817. It was not any use bent:: killed th,t attracted my attention. There was no ore killed at that meeting; it was called the IThwekel Meeting. 1 do nut kuuk that any use was kilkd between Manchester and Slut k •. I saw re arms on the 16th August; 1 'saw no sticks shun'. dered. I was not personally insulted on that day, nor did I see any other respectable person insulted. 1 iementher large meeting held in January, 1819,at which you presided ; 1 canaut call it large, compared with that en the 11611 i Au. gust ; I saw several huger meetings than that or. the 10th of March. Ido nut recollect bearing of any actual violence committed by the meeting is January. 1 witnessed your pasaing from that Kneeing by the exchange. I did not as , the meeting break up. I do not know, that you Ulu. together us that day. I saw the hustings Wt. het I don't know from what cause. I said the cart of *lnch the hustings first consisted was soon after removed. 1 sto hut pretend to say that there was one cart or inure, but I saw the hustings removed. I saw no planks. I know Matthew Cooper. I alwayts thought him a very respectable man. I have since beard that he was at the meeting as a repurtei. I have heard that a Mr. Horton also encoded tn-that capa city. Ido nut below if their evidence varied (rum mine, but I have spokes SO the sense of the words 1 heard. I MOW professed to swear to the exact words. I swear that I have stated the purport of the words; I cannot call it the senor ; I could not make sense of the words " the cavalry mid a:l their corruption." After your capture 1 saw one person who had suffered us that occasion. Re-examined by Stojeant Hvm.orm.—The meeting ism Ja nuary was not to be compared to that on the 16th August in any of its circumstauces. The people who attended the former did nut go in bodies. I was twice at that meeting, and saw Mr. Hunt each time. He is not connected with the town. 1 Wok that he first appeared there in January. I think that while in town,be remained with Mr. Johissun. John Ellis, examined by Mr. LITTLIDALII.-1 am a bookseller in Manchester. 1 was a special cmistable on the 16.11 August. 1 went to Preemield about eleven on the 16th of August, and saw the different parties conic up with legs. 1 look down some of the inscriptions on the 11 la. On • cap of liberty was " Annual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, and Success to the Fe male Reformers of Stockport;" on • nog underneath, I- Na Corn Laws;" on a black Hag, " No Burouchimineering— Voile and be Free—Equal Representation or Death;" " This is the Saddleworth, Lets, and Mosley Union;" the reverse, " No Corn Laws," "Taxation without re_ presentation is unjust and tyrannical."

" N.l Combinations Acts," "Oldham Union." (111 a red Hag wit's green borders, "Let us the like men and not be mild bk.: slaves," reverse," Liberty is the birthright of man." This Rag was, 1 believe, inscribed "Middleton." The next was a cap of liberty and flag ; inscription on the rap, " Hunt and Liberty ;" on the Rag, " Major Carlwrighes Bill." In the centre was 40 emblem of Justice, with scale, and sword tin. der it. " Election by Ballot;" reverse, .0 Amine! Parlia ments."

White Hay, a Universal Snffrsge, Annual Parliaments, and Election by Ballot." I saw several other flags, but did smut lake do. es their iuscriptittus. Before Mr. Hunt arrived. I heard a per. sun speak from the hustings. 1 was with Mr. H•rdnissii and alr.Grecu. I did tut hear what wart said, but I rupied it down from the dictatiou of Messrs. Hardman and Given,— [Here witness read the speech rueutioued by time tau last sit.t. non ed 3-1 heard it myself, but insperlect.y. The hustings were removed about six yards while 1 was on the ;Ironing. 1 did nut bear what Ms. II out said when lie cot upon the hust ings. There were 60,060 or 70,000 person- errscol. I dusk the meeting was calculated to produce the must appalling effect on the minds of the inhabitants. Crass-examined by Mr. BAtILOW,I was near Mews. Han/luau and Grseu, but did uol Ma► the words used. Ido nut know wbo used the words. Cruss-examined by Mr. Hunt.—l was a special constable that day; I wrote what passed on the Isuitiugs from tha dictation of Mr. Hardman; I believe I wrote the words either during the time the penises was speaking, or so soon after that it made uu differeuse. I saw uu !niches march but on the field; they formed round the booting' ; they formed in a general body as other crowds do. I couceiv►. I was be tween twenty and thirty yards from air hustings. The people were presidug claw tu the busting., but on tbe speech being made they fell back upon the special cuilstabks; I du nut know (teat the constables were tujuied, but several of them complained of being pushed back If kill/ their stations. According tie my judgment the crowd kept back five or SIX yards from the bustiogs after the speech was made. The parties marched ins regular order into the field; they had a very imposing aspect; I cannot tell whether that was (be best way of keeping the peace; I cannot say that I saw the people go oh in soy particular rued, I re mained till three o'clock, but a great portion went away before two; I caliout say I saw any going elf in crowds. I noticed the diapersios; the field was of that extent that I could only see a small portion of it. 1 cauriot parti cularly describe whether the people came to or new from the field in the more orderly way. I was slummed between the hu.uop sod the Magistrates' boon between oas aid two, hut I saw oinking which particokrly attracted toy atten thou. 1 was occupied attending Is rtakkortl l / 4 a constable, i 5 k ,
