TRIALS FOR HIGH TREASON. OLD BAILRY, WIDNRSDAT, APRIL 46. RICHARD TIDD AND WILLIAM DAVISON. . This rooming the Court of Special Commission resumed the State 'Friel' at the Old B siley. The Kourt was thinly attended. At ten minutes after nine o'clock, Mr. Baron GARROW, BRIT, alprl the COMMON SEILIRANT took their seats on the 'Bench; the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. GURNEY, mid Mr. ROLLAND, and the Prisoners' COlll/111.1, Allessrs. ADOLPHUS and CURITOOD, prayed in Court at the same time. Some column nicetion took place between the Coon-el osi hodh aides and the Bench, when the Prisoners' Counsel immediately left the Court. A delay of some minutes having tocciered, Mr. Baron GARROW ad dressed the Gentlemen who were wailing to be celled on as Jurors. They might. he said, feel some satirise et the delay, end the Bench felt it right to declare that the present delay was caused entirely by the application of the Prisoners' Coon- sel. Ile hoped that the Jury would not consider the delay as intended to convey any waist ~1 respect towards them. One of the Jurors said he hoped the Court would allow them to sit down, us many of them had come , a considereble distatice to attend the GAM. Mr. Baron °ARROW said, that the Court felt every disposition to accommodate, in every palisade manner, the Gentlemen of the Jury, and requested them to occupy the seats vacant in the Court. Iu a few minutes the Prisoners' Counsel returned, and, after a short communication with the Court— Mr. Berms GAMMON then addressed the Jury. Ile might now explain to them the cause of the delay that had just taken place. The Coun sel of the Prisoners, who had ma the recent trials exerted themselves with an 1111C11 ability, had left the Court to consult with the Prisoners as to the propriety, instead of separating their challenges, to jolts in a common defence. By the delay which had just taken place, the Court and the Jury hail in Get gained time, es two of the Primilers (Tidal sod Miriam) agreed not to separate their dial lenge-, but to be tried by the 11111111 Jury. After his Lordship concluded, the Prisoners • Titld and Davison were put to the her. Mr. Shelton then proceeded to call over the Jury list.

Twenty-two were challenged foe the Crown. and twenty-eight by the Prisoners._ The COURT then said, that the Geatiemen of the Jury not sworn might depart, but the Court would expect their attendance on Friday morning at Moe o'clock precisely. The Prisoner, Davison, here asked whether the Court would allow him and his fellow Prisoners to sit down The Court complied with hits request, and chairs were brought to them. The Gentlemen to whose names are annexed swore, were put on the Jury. Time indictment against the Prisosiers for high treason, &e. was then read, and they repeated their plea of Aut Mr, BOLLARD opened the pleadings against the Prisoners. Mr. GuItNEY then rose to address the Jury. Ile said, that the crime for which the Prisoners stood charged was net of a private maitre, it was a crime which struck at the existence of the Govern ment. anti aimed itt its subversion. The Prisoners 11111 their associates intended, instead of the Go. verument under which we live, to establish a Pre visional Government, and the means they intended to employ ter its establishment were slaughter end coufligratime. The Learned Counsel then pro ceeded to say, that he would lay before the Jury evi. deuce to support the charges contained in the indict ment. Ile then proceeded to detail at considerable length the nature of the charges, the various circum stances of the case, end the evidence which the Crown intended to produce. He went on to anticit.ate mid to refute the possible defence that might be made for the Prisoners. He admitted that the evidence of accomplices in the common crime ought to be treated by the Jury with much jealousy; but if that evidence in every material point should be confirmed by the testimony of witnesses spinet "shout no seen objection could be urged, as well as by the circumstances of the cape itself, the Jury would not reject their testimony ; for, if the eve. dence of accomplices should be rejected by Jurors, then atrocious crimes would never be brought to light. The Learned Genleman concluded it very feet:title address. mid the witness and accomplice Adonis was called and examined by the Solicitor- General. His evidence was very nearly the same as on the former trials, any thing which it comprised of new merely regarded the degree in which the Pri soners on trial appeared to be implicated, and this we feel ourselves precluded from publishing. Ours Mg his examination Told rose from his seat, end was proceeding to comment on something said by him, but Mr. Baron Garrott suggested that it was both more regular. and probably more advantageous to Min, to wait till the examination iu chief should be concluded. yawn he would have on opportunity both by himself and his Counsel to put any qua. lions they might think proper. But he should not prevent a perion in his situation from remark. lug, oil the eVideoce in the way he wished, if lie per. misted in his desire, though it would probably be more beneficial to him to leave thaw things to the tliscretion of his Learned Counsel, who was irking notes, and would, no dobbt, avail binned' of every thing material for his defence. !be Prisoner acquiesced. Tidd was a second time about to put a question to the witness during fifil itioriesosa, but by the recommendation of the Bench pellioned it. Here Davison took the popeperhich lay before Tidd. to take a note of that peel'[ the evidence on which the latter had been devinves to remark, but Tidd declined his assistance, and shortly after hav ing put on spectacles. commenced taking note* himself. When the direct eimmination had been ended. Davison sent up a written potter to the Belle'', con. mining, we presume, such questions a. he or fellow-prisoner on trial thought proper to be put to Adoins—it was handed to Mr. Curwoud. That CAesatlemaii then commenced his crosses- 'ruination of Adams. Witness'. demeanour was more sober and respectful thou ins former dap; 1w accounted for this change by saying that lie was When Mr. Cuovrooo had coute to au end. Mr. Baron GARROW told Kidd. that having heard the last of Admin.'s evidence. he might if lie thought proper, pursue it himself, .by putting questions, mid if lie had not a recollection of the parts to which he had before objected, be should assist hie memory by reading them from his notes ; but iu general it appeared to him to be safer for Prisoners to put themselves under the guardian. ship and protection of their Counsel. and to confer with them by the means afforded by the Court, than to trust to their own dsscretion. _ _ Tidd did not avail himself of the i►roposal made by the Court. but Davison mid he had a questiou to put. Mr. Baron GARROW said, his object in saying what he had said was not to prevent the Prisoners from questioning witnesses theonselves if they de sired it. but it frequently happened that Prisoners asked questions winch proved prejudicial to them. The question having been put into Mr. Cur. wood's hands WWI proposed by him to Adams. Eleanor IValker and Mary Rogers were then ex amined. When the last witness had left the box, Davison rent up it written question to be pot to her. Mr. Curwood was not in Court, hut Mr. Baron Garruw took it for the purpose of putting it. When he hid read it, however, he informed the Prisoner that it was one which his Learned Counsel would pro• bably not put in ally shape, being founded on a supposition that the witness had proved a fact un favourable to him, which she had nut, but which, if closely pressed, she might. Davison thanked his Lordship, and the question was suppressed. The different other witnesses for the Crown who had been produced on the former trials were then examined. Nothing new transpired from their evi dence. They were examined precisely in the same order as before. About five o'clock the evidence on the part of the Crown was completed, save the exhibition of the arms found in Cato•street. The trial was then postponed to this morning. The Prisoner Davison now addressed the Court, requesting that his wife might be permitted to see I hat evening, for the purpose of enabling hint to send her to certain witnesses necessary for his defence. The COURT said, it was not their province to in. terfere in this respect. If the Prisoner addressed the proper quarter, they had no doubt but that his application wouhl tweet with whatever attention it might deserve. IRE LAND. DURUM. ♦PRIL if.

Mr. hunt-1 mean, my Lord, "to move for a rule to Phew cause why the verdoct of guilty against me and other Defendants should not be set wide, and ■ verdict of nut guilty entered, or why a new trial should not he hsil in the cause. The Cum what grounds do you snake this application ? Mr. Hunt-(ht several. my Lord. The CHILI? .lumes—State them. 111 r, fluot—First, on the misapprehension of the Judge in rejecting di►ect evidence on my behalf, which, 1 coniesid, he ought to have received ; and preventing me from getting the same points out by the cross-examination of the witnesses for the pro. *Kauai. The CHIEF Jurrica—What was the general MINN of that evniester ? Mr. Hunt-1n the tiro solace, for refusing to re ceive evidence of the acts of aggresaion, cuthug, maiming. and killing, committed at the people assembled at the Mencl.e►ter meeting on the 16th August, by certain yeomanry and other soldiers. The CHIEF JUSTICE—What other points have you ? Mr. Hunt—For admitting evidence which he ()nicht to have rejected. The CHIEF JUSTICE—What was that evidence ? Mr. Hunt—For admitting, my Lord, certain re• solutions passed at a Smithfield meeting to be read in evidence, which meeting took place before the one et Manchester. The Cater ANTIC g--Go on with your other points. Mr. Hunt—For admitting evidence of drilling and training at • place called White Mass—for misdirection to the Jury, which •rote in consequence of the Learned Judge's rejection or admission of the pat ticular evidence to which I have alluded.

Mr. Mont.—Yes, my Lord. The Cuter Jueetce—Have you any thing else to urge ? Mr. Hunt—That the verdict of the Jury was against evidence; and sth, and lastly, that it was given contrary to the direction of the Judge. These are all my points, my Lords. The Judges then consulted together for a few minutes, when The IIIEF JUSTICE said, on many of the points which you have submitted to us, Mr. Hunt. it is impossible fur the Court to form a complete judg. ment without hearing the nature of the particular evidence shaded to, which we can only receive from the Judge's notes. After the Judge shall have read to us his report we shall then be in possession of that information which will rumble us to decide on the applicability sod force of your objections. On Monday next we shall hear the report, and we will then lout you in the same situation of having the benefit of your objections. as if they were fully heard at this period of the Term.

The CHIEF JUSTICE—Yes, we shall then con. eider the applicability of any parts of that yet. evidence to your points. Mr. SCARLETT-1 do not object to Monday, so far as I am concerned, but perhaps the Attorney- General might wish to he present. How far Mon day will suit him, I cannot tell. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Let it stend for Monday now, and we can hear any application to postpone it. if that day should prove inconvenient. hereafter. Mr. Hunt—lt would be a great convenience, my Lords, if Monday were peremptorily fixed, as the Defendants have come up from distant parts of the country. The CHIEF JUSTICE—We cannot fix a day pe.. remptorily, Mr. Hunt, for many accidents may in terpose. and interfere w:th our appointment. All we cast do is, to put down the cause for a given day, and hear it then, if circumstances shall notarise to reader further postponement necessary.

Indeed. there could be nit certainty as to any period for his coming up, as it was a subject whits► inflamed his initial and rtichir genrd his life even to mention it.
