He-came towards us and said, 4 ‘ itim, if I find, him I'll hare Iris tile." 'He 'said tioilling more, but went on towards his own house. I followed , I:saw no persons .insulting him, nor was there any disturbance at the time. Cross-examined--I don't know to whom he alluded its saying ' - ` 4 lift%'t Ilia life." ' The priioner appeared to be looking for some one. He was with men who might be headlestos , arty thing I know. There were two,persons with ore : one was Thomas Lomas, and the other Edwards'. The prisoner overtook us in the Middle Of the road. Mr.' Thomas , 'Ogden of the Police, was called by I}lr. At-_ kinson. My duty is to took after nuisances; I ant e mployed thy the Commissioners. When I heard the report of the pis tol, .I sat ins ray own house near the Castle-4in, l)eansgate, Litton hearing a.second report, I werit out anil saw a crowd of 'people before.

I told them it was a very serious hil liness, and I would send for Mr. Nadin. Between the hist and second pistol about two' Oa Unit es elapsed. Cross-examined—The crowd was so violent that S was afraid of interfering,.. I waited till the ycatch and ward, came up, and rest:aimed there till Nadia canto. I saw no lamp broken by the prisoner.

From the time of the first firing to the time of his arrival at this spot two or three minates had elapsed. ' MAGISTRATE (to the prisoner)—What have you to soy for yourself ?—I !cove my case to , my pro fessional4elvisers. Mr. Fout.Kas then, on the part of the prisoner, called the attention of the Magistrate to the sta tute under which th e' ptisOner had been appre hended, via. the Cutting and Maiming Act. if terror and threats were used, sufficient to make hint believe that his person and property were in danger, be bad made out a good defence. fie alluded to the case of Hague arid others, where a crowd had assembled round the factory . of -Mr. Cartwright, tind where the people were fired up on. He also referred to the case of Middleton, where it bad been found that the party' had acted in his own defence. So in this 'case the same would be distinctly made out. H e s h ou ld prove by respectable witnesses, not such as Mrs.. Leigh and Steel, but just and honourable men would state, that the pri9ontee life had been put la leo partly, and bad been most abominably ill-treated by a mob.—(Hisses.) Mr. i\]ILNE—I shall order the Court to he clear ed it that improper disturbance continoes Mr. FoULKEs continued to slate the evidence which he would adduce; and particularly alluded to the ill-treatment of Meagher at the Dog Ta vern. He was about to observe upon some strong observations contained in The Manchester Observer respecting the'prisoner, when, Mr. ATE{ LN SON objected to 'the .iiiention of it, as it had nothing to do with tire case. Mr. FouLicas—l don't want your interference, Sir. Mr. WRIGHT—Go on, Mr. Foullies. Mr. FOULKES said, that he should show the in tention of this infamous Journal was to inibtence the public mind, by abominable and inflammatory language. This Paper had the audacity to coin, plaiu, that " this man of blood (Meagher) still lives." Was it to be wondered that the public mind was irritated after such gross and rascally abuse Mr. ATKINSON (for the prosecution) then con tended, that under the act 'sufficient evidence had been adduced to put the prisoner upon his trial ; and that there was no power in the Magistrate to hear the witnesses for the defence. Mr. IVRIGHT—You would not contend, that if a man's house were attacked by a parcel of fel that if a man (liferids hitrisell, and fires, and kills, that be is guilty of murder? . Mr. ATM NSO N I should contend no such thing. Mr Foy Lxas—A man is bound to protect him self and family. Mr. NVRIGHT—The only question is, whether it has been done to :lawfully in this case. Mr. FOULKES—To be sure, arid I shall prove that the priso,4er fired only in defence of himself •and hi 3 property. The following witnesses were then called for the defence 1— 'Henry Canteril I was the first witness called far thedefence. —1 am a law-writer and stationer.

I went with him. The crowd cried out " do yOnr job before the winter is over:" This was said by several, and they aslded that he was the ;eader at St.Peter's4eh. The - crowd followed him all the way up Deansgate. The prisoner said hehati to go to the Flytog'iltirse,andbe asked rue to go with 'him. I did go, and wailed at the dour. He came out, and went down Manket -street into Deansgate. When we got to the door of his house, there was a,crowdaaf 20 or JO people before it. When he got near the house, the mob cried, " Let us all set upon him at once:" His wife ,cried out, " For God's sake come in, Edward, or they will murder you."

Cross-examined—The people said nothing as he went to the looliceosflicie.• When the prisoner • went to the Flying Horse, the mob did not follow him. They left him near the Red LiOni.

As I passed by them, they said, " I'm sure that's the d—d trumpeter." Idechired that I was not the person.

Mr. Atkimion—Do yonthimik - this material, Sir ? • Magistrate—lt will lead to something.. Mr. Foulkes--.To he sure. We will show you if you wait. Magist rate—Go on. Examination eontinued—Another man cried out, ." Leap on the topef him." A friend of mine (Mullet), came into the crowd. They struck him several times. The prisoner then came up. .I cried out to' thein. not 'to take My hat, or murder me. Meagher reseued me from the crowd, and took me to the Palide-office. - He left me - there.

There was a great crowd after and they right to the Office-doer. I went out and inquired what they wanted. Some one said, " We want that thief, the trumpeter." I persuaded • theta all to go quietly holm., and I dispersed them as well as I could. I told the priso ner I.thought his life was in eery great danger. My reason for saying that, was the eagerness of the crowd. Before that, we bad been sent for to the Dog,- when I SAW six or seven people upon the prisoner in the house. This was about half-an hour before. It was as much as we could do to rescue him.. One of the men rams alter !inn,' but was caught: at• the Dog entry, and said, " I will have his life." The prisoner went off into Deansgate. After all was quiet I went off to the Office.. The two amen .were'left by the prisoner in the Police Office, and desired us to take care - of them. Cross-examined—l found the 'prisoner set upon by people at the Dog-tavern, and I rescued bins with the assistance of others. The man who threatened the prisoner's life was not apprehefuled. We had no power. We could not take the people who set upon the prisoner at the Dog. I told the pri soner that 1.140440 A his'life was in dangei,' but I did not go home with him. I did, not see Mr. Canterill with the prisoner at the office. I know Mr. Canterill. ' , Re-examined—l could nut take the people at the Dog, they were so rough. They were tke roughest set I ever saw.

Thomas Prinnott, a police-officer—Oa the Saturday night we were: sent for to the Dug; Booth and 1 went. It WAS then about al, or a little after. We found the trumpeter there in the lobby of the tavern; and 7 or 8 around him. We rushed ill and found him amorg them. We gut him on one side, and through great persuasion got the men to disperse. Then the trumpeter went. Presently up jumps a man (I should know him again), ran down thoentry,aud swore that he would hare his life. I caught hint in the entry, and took him back into the house. The men in the tavern .were all laying hold of him. It was as much as we could do to get bim away. He was in a state of danger. I cannot re collect what was said. The man who said " I'll have his life" was one of the party. I cannot say positively that he meant the prisoner's life. The man swore, that if I would let him go, that he never would touch th 6 trumpeter apin. I was not in the Police-office when the prisoner brought the men, but I saw 30 or 40 men neap lv opposite the Police-oltice. Some said, "'Turn him out; we'll have that d—d thief, the trumpeter, out." The people were ultimately dispers ed, through great persuasion. John Ball—l live in Southam-street, and ant a carter. I am one of the watch and ward, and was on duty on the Satur day night.
