•in a 'quick .manorr----:.in .very.roick pace: They proceeded right to Mr. BoatOn's house. I could net see the end of Buxton's house. Cooper's , Cottage was between me and that house. About a minute after they arrived, I heard a shout front -the multitude, iu front of the Cavalry, and about a minute afterwards the Cavalry allowed, wavina their swords itt the air. Presently afterwards I perceived the Cavalry riding Hmong the•multitude, and the cloud of dual was immediately -so great, that I could •not afterwards discern the Cavalry. 3 knew it .to•be the Manchester Yeomanry that, passed Cooper-street. .1 raw no other - Cavalry go to 'Buxton's house before the charge. I saw no other Cavalry going oil the groond before the Man chester Yeomanry. lam positive it was the Man chester Cavalry that f then saw. I cannot form Hey idea of the number of the corps, nor how many troops were there. The whole party came at etoce. I saw no second party. While the clouds of (lust prea ented me from seeing the Cavniry, there was another body of Cavalry formed before I;,,aton's. I did nOt think (item the Manchester Cavalry. There was a distinction in the'r dress. I caw, immediately after, ant- . tiler body of cavalry, of different dress, form on the ground the Maachester cavalry had left. They rode off into the trial , itiole ; and I saw two field-pieces. These cavalry did not ride so quick as the former, and they'had two field-pieces with !bent. The people were at that time 1 -tinning in all directions, and some up :11ouni-street towards the vacant ground near Brasennose-street. 1 saw some people, boys, women, and men, run towards Dickenson-street, at the East of the Quaker's Chapel ; not where the timber lay. A soldier came suddenly riding to that corner of Dickenson street, and in his inteetuoaity threw •down,his horse at r';e corner. Tile horse, I think. made a false s! , p. This soldier was called Thomas Barnes. I (lid not know him in regintentela. A person came by at the time he wart unhorsed, and mentioned his name. Colonel M'Gregor ordered Iris men,, the 88th, to charge bayonets. Mien the people were running, Col. M'Gregor gave, this other. Some persons running by said, that Thoma s Barnes was thrown down. It was about 30 yards from the place .11 , rnes was thrown down. I was in Dickenson-street near the infantry. The latter was between me and Barnes. The infantry was formed in a crescent, and I was behind them.— (Witness pointed out the place on the tnap.)— Colonel M'Gregor ordered his men to charge bayonets in order to protect Barnes, as I under stood. There was no person where I stood but mvs.lf; Colonel Nl•Gregor was nearer to the man than I was. The people were running near Barnes. Mr. Harmer cautioned the witness to under stand each quesiion before he answered. Witness—There was about 40 or 50 running near Barnes ; but the Street was empty where Barnes tell. I liereril some kind of exclamation a.ll‘ll the people, and at that nointeut from' Cul. Ill'Giegor in order to save Baroes, whom the in- Ivory immediately surrounded. I did nor go tient er to Barnes. Directly afterwards the in fluor y were formed in the saute position as pre vious to a charge. Barnes, I believe, got upon ltis norae, bur I do not know what became of hint or his horse afterwards. , —While I remained behiod they brought by the lnoly of John Ilithne, a young; Gen:lemao of Mtaadey-street, carried on a shorter by four persons ; I heard it w as Mr. Hulme. Soon after I saw a coach go on the ground and it returned its a few minutes with persona in it whom I beard were injured. The coach retorned along Cooper-street front the ground. 1 did not see aay •hing further. I went with the 88th when it moved off. This tnovement was bet wix' two and three o'clock. The regiment passed to their barracks, and as they passed, Lem! one of the Officers ached whether the enemy was discomfited ? and the Officer replied, Their own tawnstnen bad done it. This was said in Brazennwe-street, where the 31it were formed, and one of the Officers of that regiment put the quest ion referred to. The people who passed through the market-place had some of them such sticks as are- used generally fur Walk ing sticks. One hail a strong stick on his shoulder, and this was the only one I saw. connot say that the chief part had sticks, but many of those I saw had sticks. I saw no person on the ground with larger sticks than are used in walking. 1 was never nearer the hustings than the corner of the Quakers' Meeting-house. The ground was not crowded up to that ; there were only a few straggling persons near me on each side. The body of the Meeting did not extend to me ; the people appeared to be moving in, and the space appeared to be increased. The dense 'crowd was about 20 yards front me ; the hustings were about 80 or 100 yards from me. From thence I went into Dickenson-street, where I had barely a view of, the Meeting, the corner of the Quakers' Meeting-house intervening ; there, about 200 yards front the hustings, I remained, until the Meeting dispel sed. CoCMlGregor carne into Dickenson-street,l think to intercept the flight of the people! from the field. I did not see any stones • thrown ; I btlieve they were thrown at the time Col. M'Gregor ordered the charge ; I believe so, because I heard some soldiers say so, when they returned into line. I believed the people who were running away caught hold and flung what they could at Serjeant Barnes, who, in his rush upon them. was unhorsed. The infantry charged to protect Barnes, but their bayonets were pre viously fixed. I mean by charging, their chang• ing their position to surround and protect Barnes. I never saw any stones thrown. For the word charging, I mean the running of time men to sur round Barnes, but I may be wrong in the military term. I saw then no object for the vengeance of the people but the man who was unhorsed. A boy running with a parcel of sticks under his arm was seized, and deprived of them by an Officer of the 88th ; I did not know the boy, nor do I know whamt became of him. Mr. Harmer—l have several respectable per sons as witnesses, whom I do not wish to be put iu charge of a constable. Coroner-=The order of the constable was the . coosequeuce of a suggestion from the Jury. kVituess resumed—l did not see any thing strike Barnes before he tell. My impression was, tllea his t a ll was ow ing to his own impetuosity. I cannot swear that nothing struck Barnes. I did not more from 'behind the soldiery, myself safe there, and filing that danger stir rOutrded him. I did not understand that he was hurt, either than or after. I have seen Barnes frequently since, but not immediately after. There were several other Yeomanly followed Barnes ; one following a lad in a fustieu jAcket, who had, as oe said, knocked one of their men off his horse. Four other soldiers met the man in a fustian jac ket, but how lie was disposed of I cannot tell, as I lost sight of him. I cannot say that these four soldiers were Yeorhen. They proceeded to • wards Mount-street Chapel. The man in a fus tian :jacket appeared in custody. Ten minutes elapsed after -Barnes was unhorsed when this man passed in custody. I heard no Riot Act read nor mentioned, nor any notice to the crowd to dis prise. 1 beard no person on ftsot or horseback t}irect the crowd to disperse. A thing or the kind might have happened in a crowd without my no ttciug it. I saw no one °Het iug the people to dif.perse, nor speaking to them at all, but Mr. limit.. I did riot see any one going into the crowd lloue before the Yeomanry chat ged. Alter the Yeomen charged, I saw a man on a pyebaltt horse, in light coloured ckthes, but I 8 +VV 110 one WhAt tVer tide into the .crrsved hetote the cavalry shout ed, and they charged immediately afterwards. I saw the min on the pycbald horse riding itt before the cavalry heist; a few yards before them. Mr. Harmer observed, that the practice was for every wit necs to sign his testimony before he It tt the room. Coroner—l.:eery witness shall be called to sign his testi mony b,tme the Inquest concludes. llariner—What! must the witnesses all come again ? Why nut bare each sign at once? That is the practice else where. Coroner—l must question the witness, as he prevaricates. Witness Inotested a'ge.inst this charge, and appealed to the Jury whet Ler that charge was jtost.tiathe. Coroner—Sit down and awswer its glit,tll/115. WO nes; resumed—The ruau woo weat into the crowd, and to whom I alnide,,wure t white dress, and oil 4 pyebald horse. Ile had neither bout: our paper i r his natal, but ap peared to carry a %woad He tea, Miry about twelve yards before the Yeomanry, proceediog :tt • very quick pace. Examined by Mr. Fla.mer—The si lotto). which the iStis took did not oltstroct any outlet for the people. The people could get op Dickenson-street, after getting on a line with lount-street. But they were prevented !rum going along Moont-street into Cooper-street. Several people attempted ' to pass that way, but were prevented by the 83th. They might get by another aventre into Cooper-street. The people were ruanitig in such bodies, that the} were looking fur every outlet, and I saw the soldiers preveot any passage where they were. The soldiers would not allow any one to go behind tkemselves. I heard the cavalry make a shout, a tremendous noise, and flourishing their swords. It was an huzza the sokhers made. Immediately after they rushed into the crowd. I saw no Magistrate go among the crowd, or apptuach them to call silence, nor did I hear any one pro claim slieure.—CCoroner interrupted.] Mr. Harmer—l ant putting the questions inNite very words of the Act. Witness—l did not see any people assembled in a riotous or umultutois nrauuer, nor did they become so, or thew any dis position to become so. I saw no constable, nor did 1 know that any were on the ground. My situation was about one hundred yards from the house where I understood the Ma gi trates were. I did not know then where they were, hut have sines learned, and there were numbers of people near that house. I saw no stones flung, but from the manlier the soldiers acted, I conjectured -that there were stones or brick bats thrown. I mean Ity soldiers, the wit h. At this moment Mr. Ashworth, the Barrister, and Mr. Cook, the Attorney, entered the Court, and took their station at the same table with the Coroner, near the Jury... Messrs. Harmer and Denison's situation is outside the bar v and has been so from the outset. Wit Less said the people appeared enraged at Barnes, be-' cause he pi evented the people (ruin escaping. Mr. Ashworth addressed the Court, iii order to make an • obs•rration with a view to hasten the Inquest. • sl r. Harmer protested against the interruption of the witness. Mr. Ashworth—l address you, Mr. Cormier. I,will not eni4a;e in controversy wi►h ally individual. Yuu are alone the Judge of this Court. Coroner• said that it was better mot to interrupt the witness: and e.hen his examination was - clused, Mr. Ashworth might address him. ....... Witnesk re-asserted, that the reason the people were en raged against Barnes was, that he had been ioterrupting the people in their passage trout Boutle-street to Cooper-street. Ido not know that any people had passed Barnes. • Mr. Ashworth said, 1 ant here for the town of Manchester, and I request to hear tbe : evidenee read. Mr. Harmer—Whoever are your constituents, I venture to say, that I can find numbers of gentlemen who hace.nothiog to do with yotr. Coroner—l did not ask you, Mr. Harmer, by whom you were appointed, I have good authority to say, that you are not appointed by the parcats of the deceased. But why in terrupt a banister who attends ? Mr. Hariner—l say that the parents of the deceased did require nay attendance before the Inquest corameoced. • Ashworth—l do nut attend for any party, but to elicit truth . , seed to guard against the publication isf garbled, im perfect, or contrived statements, for the purpose of producing a particular effect on - ihe public mind. You me aware that, as Coroner, it . ,,ia.your bounden duty to hear esi dence in vindication ae well as in accusation. It appears to me, that unlcss such evidence appears against any in dividual in the opinion of the Jury, this case should not go on as it does. UlllOl some such, else is made unt, it is a waste of your time; And of that of the Court, to continue this inmAigation, the public to lint being kept in a state of ferment. I think, therefore, that unless there is some charge against some individual or individuals, you cannot go into any inquiry into the legality or illcgality of the Meeting. It is only for you to say whether there is any charge of murder against some individuals, to call for the investigation of those facts of the Meeting. If it appear that malice prepense was attributable to sonic individual, then inquiry is applicable as to the character of the Meeting. I say, then, that some charge should be made out before you determine to protract this in quiry to such an indefinite period as is at present in coutem plation. Therefore I say, unless a charge be preferred against - some individual or individuals who can be identified as hay ing attacked the deceased, and that such attack was the cause of his death, this inquiry cannot he prosecuted. I say, • that there has not been any specific evidence that any one gave a w•und which was the cause of the death of Lees. It can he shewn that there were other causes besides his wound for the death of Lees. Ido not want to irritate—l du nut de sire to excite ferment, or to eater into personal contest. There may he an uoject in this elude of investigation ; hut I . . , say, it should not be sought through you. 'There is another mode—let it be looked to. We have all an interest to allay the ferment that prevails—to put an end to dissentious must be the desire of all good men; and therefore I trust that yeu - • will not alloy.• yourself to become iststruiniffital to those who semi: to keep alive such dissentions.—Are you aware that iu consequence of your toleration of critain persons here, and deeidiirg it be an open Court— Coroacr-1 have not so decided. Mr. Ashworth-1 beg pardon, Sir; 1 do not mean offen sive laoguage. 1 admit it is a public Court; but only to those who are likeiy to give 'evidence. But this Court is under your controul as much as that of the Judges at Derby, - where the decision was to be final.. Yet the Judges there said—" We will deem it a contempt of Court, if any publication take place until the trials terminate." Thesu reasons were just; but. your order here was founded on still stronger reasons ; because persons, who here may be ac cused, may be prejudged and prejudiceil by the publication of exparle statements; fur surely, the case of the accused should not be brought before the public, clothed with the asperities arising from rx-parte publication. Yet will you believe, Sir, that although it must be luog before any evidrner in justification of those to whom blame is imputed can be brought forward, the evidence for the accusation is already before the public. Every intelligent and fair man toast de precate such a course as must injure the cause of just cc; for we know the structure of the human mind, and the Man- ' enca of rust impressions upon it, especially upon such winds; therefore, upon you, as you are competent, to order that no publication of any part of the evidence shall take place until the whole shall hare been adduced. If your order be broken, let it be so, but allow me to request, in the exei else of your discretion, that you will issue the order. If their be no legtsl theaus of. enforciur, your order, let any gentle man, or any enliehtened man, ash ; hiuisell whether such a publication as I deprecate, be in tiny degree fair? !say, Ihrt by various Arts, tied csinciuliy bI the vbstil Niar7, you are authorised putt ilowo all Oa cridcnse on ' , nth sales. Therefore, your - litiriog full power, it is your duty to take care that those powers shall lint he the engine of injustice. But I hope you will make the order to which refer. I address you in in'aur to save time—and Itall upon you to declare that, until a chargt lie made out against sonic particular ntilividoals, anv inritlit'y into the character of the Meeting of the I tith of August is irrelevant; but if any such charge be made out, a full ineestigation of that Meeting would be quite correct. I know tint who are re taitied for the 'Crown. I am here 'On the part of those against whom it is understood that accusations are to be preferred. 1-have as mach right to appear here as in any other Court. LI do not appear here under the strelter of aw authority, which would afterwards disown nre. Ido not skulk like an fancies. I bring 7ou an authority, and if any One elae Isms a proper authority, he has as mach right to be here as you but I maintain, that nu one, without any authority, I•mean no personality, has a 'right to address you. I come here to facilitate justice. 'Yon are competent, if you think proper, to prevent the investigation from extending • thus, perhaps for months, if mit ad infinitum, a gentleman • declaring that he had seventy wit itesses to examine. Perhaps these seventy may become 700, and thus your time, so Tato able to the public, may be oceapied to an indefinite extent. But you are competent to say to any gentleman that he must chew that he can lay some evidence before you against sonic individual or individuals, to fix some stain of the crime upon him or them, or lie should riot be Allowed to pro- , ceed. Consider, Sir, how much the country is agitated upon the subject, and how many persons in this ntoghbourlicod ' Are withdrawn from their proper business to attend to the proceedings of the Court. Therefore, in every point of view, it ltellores you to decide against the way in which this inquiry has gone on, and has been planned to go on, instead of putting some charge in a tangible shape. Let it be shewn first, that the deceased received a wound that was the cause of his deat h. You have had the evidence of a surgeon, that the wound upon the el how of John Lees was Lot the cause of his death. The Coroner said that a comment upon evidence Was inad ' Mr. Ashworth. I beg pardon. I only require that some ev'denee should be adduced of the nature I have described, anti that a loose and indefinite investigation should nut be allowed to go on. Mr. Harmer—l rise with great deference and dfNence to answer the eloquent speech of the Lent - tied Geutleman, who first told you he was employed by the town of :11..incliester, Unit afterwards by the party, who, it was understood, were impli cated in the alleged offence. Will the Gentleman write down What he states as law? 'lle Geotleman rapt essed his desire for a full investigation ; and yet his object is evidently to stop the ill vast igatioo. Neither you nor I know W lin and how many may be impugned by the evidence. I can u n dertake to say, that se veral persons will be charged by name with being concerned in the murder of John Lees; fur I hold that every one its the corps by which Lees was wounded,was as guilty as the inan who actoullv struck the blow. Mr. A. has spoken of the time •f the Jury, but I am sure that Gentleman would deem no time ruispent imptiring into the cause of those atrocious deeds. He also spoke of your. time ; but I tin darstatal that you yourself once held art Inquest that lasted five weeks. Can that, or any other case you ever heard of, be as important as the present ? The Gentleman stated, that he had a right to produce evidence in deli nee of the accused. I admit that; but I undertake to prove that the Manchester Yeomanry, by a wanton attach upon the people, were the cause of the death of John Lees and several others. I maintain that every our present aiding and abetting in that attack, which terminated in murder, vvcre alike guilty. Coronet—ln consequence of the appeal of Ashworth. I must say, without animadverting upon the evidence generally, that no identity has been proved—all the evidence applyiiig to the character and conduct of the Meeting. But we hal', no evidence tcashew the persons who made the attack upon Juba Lees. Jr. Harmer—l have shewn that his death took place im mediately after the attack of the Yeomanry; and I will ideo lily many of these cavalry with several persons who were pre sent aiding and abetting. The Coroner stattd the order he had issued on the first day of the Inquest, to prevent note-taking, and as that order has been violated, he said, I would' prevent note-taking •if I thought myself competent. Mr. Ashworth—l pledge myself, that you arc so competent, after a consultation with two or three of the first lawyers in the country. • Mr. Coroner—l recollect that Mr said he was employed by The Timrs.—l sent the notes I cumpally with your injunction; I sent the notes as I did front duty; but leaving it to their discretion to publish. But after what has taken place to-day, if you will allow me to take 'nutes".l shall not at ad toy notes to the office until the Inquest 4)1411 have terminated.—The Chief Barony at Derby, said only that it would be better nut to send the notes to London. Dot all idiots. Coroner—Had you not time taringli to prepare your notes for the press, as you could have so much matter pubiished within It hours? Mr. Ashworth repeated his opinion, that it was competent t o you to prevent notes. Coroner—l- further understand (to The Titer' Reporter) that your notes were sent by express. Reporter—lt was nut so, as the notes were sent by the Li verpool mail front Knutsford. coroner —(to The Tivaes Reporter)—Yon were culpable in sending your notes with such haste; I wilt prevent you or any one from your paper from note-taking. Reporter—l will pledge myself not to send the notes in future - . ", Corvner , —l cannot believe your pledge. Mr. Ashworth called for an extension of the irtittnctign, not to publish until after a farther trial, if any such arose out of the Inquest. Coroner—l have issued that order already. Now, as to the other parts. of the Learned Gentls:titan's address,. I will call for evidence inanediately conceruini; the death of John Lees, and to point out or identify those who are accused of inSiet ing the wound upon Lees. Harmer—Several persons base been already identified in evidence. Coroner expressed a desire that Mr. Harmer should say by what authority he was sent bare, as that question had been put to Mr. Ashworth. Harmer—! was desited by the mother to attend at the time the Jury saw the body. Now, AIIOW fine to ask again, by whom Mr. Ashworth was called upon to attend? Mr. Ashworth made no reply ; bnt the Coroner produced a letter from Jonathan Andrew, a constable of Manchester, requesting Mr. Ashworth to attend. The Coroner here ordered the Reporter of .The Time: to cease note-taking.' Reporter asked for a written order.—Coroner refused. Reporter-1f you commit tuc, that would be proof of your order. Coroner—l restrain you, Sir. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-HOUSE. THE SEDITIONISTS. Yesterday being fixed for all the parties held to appear and vacate their recognizances, the Sedi- Sionista and News-venders presented themselves in the morning at the Sessions-House. Thomas Dolby, late of Wurdonr-street, now of the Strand, was the first name called. The charge against him was, fur selling the conchtding Num ber of Sherwin's Register. The usual fee ot was demanded, fur entering the discharge of the recognizances. Dolby--1 shall pay no fees. lam here, as re quired, to have my recognizances distlyoged ; here are my bail, discharge them. I m inno cent ; no bill was even preferred against me ; and if there are fees to be paid, let Mr. Birnie pay them, as the penalty of his error. Mr. Rica/tans, Deputy Clerk of the Peace-1 know nothing further than that you ate here in discharge of your recognizances; and unless you pay the customary fee, I certainly b all not dis charge them. Christopher Harris, of Broad-court Bober; Shorter, of Wych-street ; William Watling. of the Strain! ; and James Sainsbury, of Pooltoey. court, , also charged before Nlagistrates for itylling Nos.

Mr. Rrcr;Aßbi--I repeit, I shall discharge none except the fees are first paid. You must take tiic consequences of your refusal. Carfile's name was next called, and be appear• ed. lie said he was also bail for several of the individuals present. lie refnsed payment of fees, and demanded to know on what Act of Ysrlia went they were enforced. lie also asked that Clerk's name. Mr. Riciiaßbs. ,, 4 am known here, and act on the custom. None of the recognizances are dir. charged, although you have all appeared here, and win not be without all fees being fif st paid. You know your aurwer, and do not interrupt me. The parties and their bail still crowded round, the table, demanding their di,charges ; and Mr. Richards, being unable to proceed with the other business, took - his parchments, books, and money, and retired. The Seditionists hereupon did the same, leaving the Hall cro wiled with °theist, wti attended on similar business. MURDER AT HACKNEY. CORONER'S INQUEST. A case of tha most hoi tilde description wse brought before the Coroner (Mr. UNWIN) on iVteineeday. The leedine facts and circumstances are as follow :—Ann Ilohneshy, the deceased, who WrtS about 20 years of age, was the wife of John llohneshy, a brickliyer's labourer, hoth of whom lodged with the father of the deceased its a small Louse facing the Crooked Bullet at Clap ton. It appeared from the evidence of Either Surrey, it lodger in the house, that the deceesed and her hushaad came home in the eveoine r about eight o'clock, and as they entered the ho ese ness heard setae very augry expressions p!ss be. tweet) limn. Witness sat its the next room with two children, with which she was lett in charge by the landlord, who was a vre.chnati, at el lather of the deceased. The woman vent to bed in an adjoining room. The husband came into wit room, ‘ti ho asked him it he was coming to sleep with the children llolmesby said, perhaps he might. The deceased then calied our, that if he did, she should get up sole. flolmeeby came in and out of the room several times: Witness at length conceiving that he would go to bed to the children, relit ed to the back door, In ahoet 10 minutes she heard the sound of a blow, Wi! , a nest then rushed to the door, and was met by one of the children, who called out " Murder !"-- Holinesby swore at the child, and said, if he calf ed out again, he would minder him. IVitness then from the adjoining room heard three distinct blows, and the uefortueate deceased calling out " Lord have mercy upon me !" flohnesby then came into witness's room, and said, he " hail done for her, and should be hung." lie then asked one of the boy's where. his father's (ilie watchman's) money mai ? that money he Wtiflt. cd, and money i e wou:d have. Liolmesby took a chissel and laroke open a chest, and took what money lie could find, and said to witness, ana going out at the back door, and (holding op an axe) added, if you speak or stir, 1 %via murder you both." Wit Hess and the chibi then went to the .next hoese, are! as 30on av she was a little recovered from her flight, sent a girl over to the peblicehoese, where Peaseod, one of the perish hesuites, iiappeued to be.

Ile ran immediately for Mr. Bailey, the Surgeon. This wiiness found no person in the house but the deceased, and a child asleep in the adjoining room. Mr. Bailey stated, that he found tire deceased lying in bed on her left There was a great quantity of blood on the bed, but not in the spot where she was lying. Thought site had been dead abotit two hours ; examined the head, on the back past of which there is a large wound from awo to three inches in length, tippet:l - tog to have been matte by some blunt instrument., Pen axe was produced t o him with blood and hair upon it, with which it is probable the act was committed. Found the jaw , fractured iu the centre, and by the lett ear. Found another wound between the eye-browse about an inch in width, and another on the kft temple, about half an inch in width, and an Intl) and a half in depth, probably caused by some sharp-pointed knife. These injuries, and more particularly,the latter, were the cause of death.-- The J:i . ry instantly returned a verdict of Willa% Murder against John 1 - 10Imesby, the husband, alter whom the officers of justice are mitv iii search.
