ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. LANCASTER, Auoust RI. TRIAL OF ANDREW RIDING, FOR 'TILE AT TEMPT TO ASSASSINATE SAMUEL HORROCKS, ESQ. M.P. Andrew Riding was indicted on the charge of having at tempted to assatoimate Samuel Ilorrocks, Esq. M.P. 'at Pres ton, in this county. The prisoner was respectably dressed, about 23 years of age. He is of an active and rather intelligent appearance. When placed in the Dock he surveyed _the whole Court with a smile Lon his countenance. Ms deportment never shewed any consi derable alteration during the whole of the long trial, which !began at nine o'clock. - -•••-• Mr. SCAULETT stated the case and detailed the whole of the proceedings as expressed in the evidence. . - Samuel ilorrocks, Esq. M.P. examined by Mr. STARKIE :- 1 ;r was at the Preston parish church on the 27th of July last, it being Sunday, and subsequently went to cell, upon Mr. Mi my partner; it. was near one o'clock r. st. The road 4 went was the coach road; there is a aide gate for persons on foot to. pais to the house ; I was in the act of opening the gate when I received a blow it the top of my head.- Having DO -$1114) Wass I thought something had fallen down upon me. The first ' stroke was quickly followed by a tremendous blow at the baCk of my head. Finding myself assaulted I.turned round on my left'andsew the prisoner prepareirto strike again ; he exclaim ed, " you!" The I'risoner..--31y Lord, may I be permitted to ask him one question ? air. Justice BArykr..--Not yet.. .Exatnimation resumed.--Thu prisoner struck again with all his force, and [had just time to lift up my left arm ; he atrock three if not four times after that r I think six or seven bloWs in all ; the concluding blows struck me on diffineut partied' my arm, and one within my left hand ; I believe I. had knOtked the cleaver out of his hand, as It tiew about two yards front him ; he made an effort to take it up again, but I rushed f o r. ward and got, possession of it ; he then looked round almtit, as if for another weapon as I thou ht, but perceivin g none lie made oft'; I cried out to the peopl e to stop him, and be was ar rested before he had got out of Any sight; he was then taken aomewhere ; 1. went into Mi.' Miller's house, bleeding profuse.. ly; I had possession cut'. the cleaver when the „prisoner was taken; but I subseqtiently gave it 'away to whom I do n ot know 4 owing to the contusion m in which was thrOwn by ,the attack. • The following letter was then handed to Mr. Ilorivcks, stated thathe t'eceived'h on the 4th of April last. It. continued in his ixissession ever since. It was anonyulous " Sir—lf you do not advance the Wages of cotton-spinners at least 20 per cent., you may expect your life to be taken away by a cotton-spinner from Manchester. You was the cause of the falling of *ages of Preston. Preston spinners are working wore that 20 per cent. under Manchester, and I understand that the spinners at llolwn and their masters 41r& at difference about dropping the wages there; the masters offer thew wore than you give, but I hope thee will be obliged to give thew the same as thee had before. Thereare many cotton wasters who deserve to lose their lives, but you are, it is said, and I helieve it is true, the worst of them all, . therefore your life must go first, andllie next in rotation." The letter hadthe Mtuieliester post-mark, "April 3, 1ik13," and was addressed, " Sainuel Ilorrocks, Esq. M.P., Lark-hall, Preston, Loncashire." Cross-examination of Mr. Ilorrocks, by Mr. JON Its—l never saw the prisoner before in my life to my recollection ; there existed no personal quarrel of any kind between us; the hour of people returning from church on Sunday Is necessarily a very public time of the day, but I wish to observe, that Just at that moment there were not many in the street; ,it was not withstanding a public time enough ; I did not observe the pri goner following me, indeed - I did not think any one was near at the moment; I was walking very glow; the attack upon me took place within of all the Windows in front of the'house; it might be seen by any person who was at a window, for it hap pened as I entered the front gate ; I never heard, however, that any person observed it in Mr. Miller's house, but I understand it was seen from a window in another house; it must have been within the view of the windows of=several houses, and of some Cottages ; after I got possession 131 the cleaver, tNie prisoner seemed to me as if looking about for another weapcin ; he was arrested within my sight ; I did not hear him say, " take me, take Me," after he got some yards ; I thought he endeavoured to run on, and.not atop, when he, was stopped ; I was nntloubt . edly astonished at the attack ; I can't say that the 'Prisoner look ed wild at the moment, but he was certainly very Curious. At the instant I could not suggest to my own mind any motive for such an attack ; there occurred, two y ears l ast spr ing, what is called a tern-out of the spinners, but that had been settled, and I am not aware of any recent disagreement between the mas ters and the men. 'When that disagreement took place, it was not limited to any class of operatives, but was general against all masters; I cannot say how many masters were affected 1 by that quarrel, perhaps fi ft een or sixt een difierent houses.— The letter alluded to in my direct examination I received in April last. I did not know it was written by the prisoner until he acknowledged it, and until I coMptired it with the letters the prisoner has written inc since the assault. The moment that letter was put into the hands of the prisoner in my bed room, on the day after the assault, he acknowledged it to be his hand-writing. The Prisoner.—hid you sea the letter,put into my hands Mr. JosrEs—Prisoner, I - beg of you nut to interrupt my examination.' Examination resumed—The prisoner had certainly the letter long enough in his hands to see what the Chericter of it was. 'lle admitted' it to be his in these Words t—S , It is coy h al l& and I put it , into the poet -efilee'at ,Manchester.' The Kite where I was,Sl4ttilked is ‘ 11 ) 0 yards from the Ghttreh*,antl along the public street. I stepped a little in the street,' • ex- Jiecting tc me e t' Mr: Miller. "The IttOppage alipwetilhe crowd ito disperse, 'so that'l cannot sky that maay persons were near at the time of the attack. The cleaver could be concealed in a • moo's Coat pocket. Whe n t h e pr i so n er was taken, I b ean! t ha t he admitted gala Jo-lint-II the act, but 1 do not knowdrat of my own knowleke, .as he was instantly taken out of my sight. I cannot state nor conjecture any rea,son for the. attack, I be. hove the pf.t.letter to he a Preston man, but I have no recollec tion of ever seeing him before. On the day after the assault, the-prisoner was brought.to my bedside; I was then in d very distressing situation from my wounds, but I don't know that the prisoner exultA' at say situation. My *hitt and clothes, 'covered as thevVere with blood, were not exhibited to the pri soner in royliid-roont,, The prisoner watt asked there if he was sorry for the act, his answer was, " No, I ant relieved." He retrained in my bed-rodmiiininutes ; but I do not recollect "that he said any thing-More. lie did not refer to passages in Scripture in jnstification of his as sau lt ; his: appearance mani fested no wildness of manner lie Seemed as fully Sensible of what he was saying as any other man in the room. I did not see him slime until Saturday in th e pr i son . Th e c l ea ver w as blunt, but still it cut e Ido not believe it received any, prepa ratory sharpening for use at the time. Mr. Horrocks cross-examined by the prisoner—You have told the Jury, Mr. ilorroeks, that after I struck you I said " I would kill you ?"—I tutveanswered that already. Prisoner,-,Aftet I struck you, did I not first look at your head, and theii thrOw my-eyes upon the ground ?—[The pri soner gave here a motion of his head t to convey to the witness .:and the Court the exact manner that lie assumed alter the attack.] - Mr. Horrocks—When the prisoner rose, after attempting to regain the cleaver, lie then looked at me, as well as I can new , recolleet, and turned round, as I thought, looking for another weapon; not finding it, he ran away. Prisoner—After I struck you, and that the weapon fell from. me, you saw me close, doubtless ?—Yes, I did. Prisoner—Did I not:then look first at yeti'. 'head, sad after wards look at the ground ?—I do nor recollect. Prisoner—How long did the cleaver lay on the ground, think you, before you took it up ?--A very few seeonds. Prigoner— Was it not ao seconds ?—No, nothing near it, front 'first to last. Prisoner—You did not see me endeavour to recover the clea ver before you grasped it ?—Yes, I did indeed. Prisoner—lle so good, Mr. Horrocks, as to describe to my Fiord and the Jury the manner in which you say I endeavoured to regain the cleaver—pray do, Mr. Horrocks P—l can only de scribe it by stating that you went to the spot where it lay, about two yards from where I stood, and that you stooped, as if to take it up. can you positiyely state that the cleaver l a y more t h an one yard of'?—l think, as near as possible, it was two yards. Now, Mr. liorrocks, that is not an answer to my question. Can you safely say it was more than one yard ?—Yes, certainty it was more than one yard. Did you attempt to catch the cleaver in your hands as it fell front mine ?—! do not think it fell.; I think I was more iu the act of warding off the blow which you were making at me. You say you think it was so—then you only thi n k y ou did so ?.--That is all. Do you think so now ?—Yes, I am inclined to think so now. Prisoner—Hat ! then you are only inclined to think so ? I, .11r. Harrods, think the cleaver remained there 30'seconds and why do I think so; because I saw it lying therefor what I suppose to be that space of time. I looked at it on the ground several times, and did you not stand at the time with your legs open?— .I really cannot say how I stood at that moment. Did you stand with one leg before and one behind ; surely "On can answer that question P-1 really cannot answer who such particularity, Why you were in your sensed, vete yott not, Slr.. Ilorrocks? I think I was. flow many seconds elapsed' before you took itp the cleaver:-; can't you say that ?—Six . , perhaps. Did you hurry to t a k e it up P-1 made all the haste I could. Did you mn, or walk, or fly? Mr. nor:kicks did not fly, I suppose, to it is easy for you to say whether you ran Or Walked ? `—l went as quick as I could. Did not your hand tremble ?—Yes, it might. . . Could I not have rescued it from god if 1 willed ?-4 think you would have had great difficulty irtgetting it from me after I got it in my hands. flow did you then hold it 1-Ir:tally can't any ; but I held it. Then you were perliapa oth °lvor mind?--I think not. And yet you are describing what you .say I did. Did I, in fact, make any etthrt to rescue that cleaver from you ?---/ think you did. Did I not ra some time stand b e f ore you before you took up. the cleaver ?—I don't think you did. Npeak positively, Mr. liorrocks, end do not tell me what you think ?—I don't believe you did stand still. its you state' you Were in possession of your senses, can't you, Mr. IJorruele, give a direct answer—yes, or no ? ; .- - f can only ga,y, I think you did not. Did T. not stay smite time before yeti, when you got the cleaver, without attacking you ?--Ve F.K Did I remain so tWelVe seconds 'o: Six seconds, Mr. Itorrocks ?.—I can't sa Four seconds, good si r saycannot ; do not think it was more thin four secontht. few seconds. Was not four seconds a very short time to look about, as you 'say, for another weapon I , —lt was certain!y a, very little apace df time. Volt say I shifted my posture to regain the cleaver when it fell; pray state how did. I move ; was it this way or that way ? (the prisoner moving alternately to the right and the left.)— Ytiur body stooped as I thought. • ' • Did my feet shift? I have told you your.'s did,—l don't. knoW. Then you mean to say you saw all'my body move, but not my feet ?—.l have spoken of what I saw. Ily,virtne. of your oath, did walk or rue off when I struck you—say - What I did--did I run ?-1 think you ran. How far was I from you when you say I ran ?--Five yards, perhaps, • Perhaps less, Mr. tforrocks ? , .perhaps so; I cannot speak to a yard. I walked first, and then I rah ?.__l think you walked about three yards before you ran. Wes my object to commit wilful murder, mild I not have get off much sootier P—l don't think you could. Thetnisoner examined Mr. norma l ; very minutely as to the manner in Which he, the priioner, opened Mr. Miller's gate. —The object was to chew that if he were in , harry he could have forced the door open by his. velocity ; whereo he had opened it inwards. The prisoner then adverted to a paragraph hi The Preston Clironie.ie of the of Angust, which had represented, or in. deed misrepresented, his conduct when brow s lit into, the heti. room of Mr. Ihiiiiscks. 'That paragraph alleged that the pri. soncr had manifested no syniptom of feeling at 111 r. Ilorrocka's condition; „that, ,on the contrary, h e re p ea t e d his d e t erm i ne. tion to destoy him, When that Gentleman declared lie felt no' ill.will to him, and added,, that he (the psis - ober,' Wortid have rather seen him* a corpse. ,Nsitv, said the prisoner, did I v a' r.

Mr. Harrods; and that the latter took it up from the ground ; the prisoner then a ttempted to run away ; w i tness run cloven stairs, and by that time the psi. soner had escaped thrpugh the gates, and seemed to stagger against the wall in the earner, about 15 yards from the gates ; witness with another person ran up to hint Mt. llnroicis,was following, and cried out to se i ze the prisoner; ; witness ant In and took him to Mr. Mill er ' s . t Cream-examined by Mr. JONES —The prisoner said, " Tolle me, take me!"

He had not expected to 'have met Mr. Thwack , ' that day, and witness heard him stibsequently, at the House of Correction, repeat the same. Cross.examined by the Prisonet—lllr. florrOcka had just opened the gate and, entered when the prisoner attacked htm the prisoner held the cleaver With one hand, and not with both ; he might have struck a heavier ,blow with both hands it' he pleased, and that Would doubtless be a more certain way of killing ; the prisoner might certainly have struck Mr. Horrocks while he was bleeding, across the legs, and then hit him where he liked rif he had been a bold or a learned assassin, he might have run round and struck Mr. Horrocks where the arm was down, as he parried the blows with one Arm only ; it was while the prisoner was behind Mr. Ilorrocks that he struck him on the top of the hat, and on the hack of the head ; the blow 3 afterwards fell on his ants ; the cleaver fell cm the ground by your throwing it in the way of aim at Mr. Horrocks ; witness did not see the prisoner attempt to escape; he did not see lain as if in rettrch of another weapon to do Mr. llorideks further injury. .

In point of fact, he stepped up to witness anti said " take The."' Witness then went home to Mr. Miller's house, and to a number of people assembled there the prisoner , avowed his determination, could he have p ur . chased piatole; to kill Mr, Miller and Mr. llorrocke.

The prisoner said, " had I known that weight was loose, .1 would have struck you (Sir. Miller) with it." It was Sir. Miller Who ordered the weight to be taltrn Away, having; observed the prisoner t o ok significantlY at it for Wale minutcs.• Cross-examined by the prisoner.—The prisoner might have escaped by the lobby. lied he got to the cottages where so many spinners were, he might Itave been concealed; 101 he Watt he was soconneeted at the " turn out" with the Preston (info!) Association. Witness was a little frightened himself at the time, and did not know what the matter Was until be saw Air. florrocks. Witness heard the prisoner observe, that he had done good to the town by what he .attemptett. The prisoner said his reason for wishing to kill Mr. Miller . and Al.r. rocks Was, that they had dropped the wager. The words were, that the, prisoner would have done so, not that he might have done so had he been able to get the pistols. Witness, heard Mr. Miller say, take the poker, and take care of hitn—When the prisoner added, " aye, bring fire.thcivel and all." The lady also said, when the prisoner asked for Watvr, that he should have none, as lie did not deserve it ; but Mr. Millet, her husband, ordered some for you. Thomas Walton, the constable for Preston, produced the cleaver. It was an ordinary butcher's clearer. ,The clothes and - hat wore by Mr. Hotrods at the tints lie was' attacked were also exhibited. l'he constable stated, that he recei ve d the cleaver on the day o f t h e assau l t , at Mr. Miller's lime, in the presence of the prisoner. The clothes he got the day after; Air. Horrocke identified the hat and clothes ; they were blood all over. The prisoner mid to the constable, in answer to a 'question, whether lie was sorry or not for hie conduct ? that lie was not sorry, at all. In his cross-examination by Mr. 'loam, he repeated the statement of the prisoner, a s t o hi e deternonatitm to kill Mr. .Miller and Air. Iforrocks, if he could have procured the pis. tols, on the ground of their having dropped the wages of the spinners. It the prisoner had pletteed, he might have selected It more appropriate spot for the c otnm i ss i on o f murder, thateat Air. Milfer'e gate, in an open street, At a public hour when the people were paesing from clinrch. The Cleaver and clothes Were here aliewn to the prisoner but he looked at them without evincing any symptom either of Alarm for the future, or of horror at the retrospect. Hr. St. Clare, the medical attendant upon Mr. Harrods, stated the nature of the wottoda ; there was a severe wound tut the back of the head, it measured an inch and a. half in length, and cut throUgh the scalp, and an arteryluttl been divided; time outer plate of the bone of the tiftull had been penetrated by the instrument whichhad inflicted the wound, and there was a greAt OW of loral•intianatnstion ; term 11w left arm there were four wounds---two cute anti two bruised.wounds, and there WAS another within the left hand.

In answer to Mr. Justi c e Ilava.KY, the Witness said, that such a blow as Alr. Home s received at the back of the head Might have been dangerotie. The skull was not at all frac tured; it was the outer plate of the hone that was alone pene trated. Tim bone et the back part of the head was very strong, Had the' inuet plate of the hone. been injured, th e brain might have been ietiously affected. et blow from a cleaver with the one hand might have proved daogerous to the head, particularly On the upper part. The hataird would be increased more in that part, of the head than on the lower part.
