John 'Blacker, aged 35, was charged with bf having in a riotous manner, and exciting and. encouraging divers disorderly personS to riot and endanger the public peace, at Sheffield, on the 11th of April ; and also - with having in his pos session a loaded pistol, a pike, and other unlaw ful weapons, to endanger the public peace. Mr: conducted the prosecution. The charge was a riot of a most mischievous and dan gerous-. kind: Sorry he was to say that this was the second time, he had to prove a charge of this kind against the man at the bar ; he had,but just. left this Castle, where he had been imprisoned two years for riot, .when he headed a most dan gerous rabble in Huddersfield, and at the very time when the alarming diSturbances at Barnes- Icy and other, places taak place, and at a time' when all the Authorities of the place were at Pomfret attending the Sessions. Theman at"the bar had a pistol, which he loaded with slugs and tired several times, but without aim. The object evidently had been to take , the Barracks, and . the cry was " Hunt and Liberty!" The Jury knew-what that clamour for liberty meant. • John Phipps, watchman at Sheffield, said there had been upwards of 200 persons assembled. They marched in separate parties through the tow. They were, quietand peaceable. He heard a pistol fired several times. He heard the party that Went do wn th e H ay - mar k et s h out i ng .- Th e people were shutting their shops. It was half . past eight. VvitneSs said to Blacker, " If you don't mind, you'll get= into a h o bbl e ag - ain." Blacker replied, " Touch me if you dare." Joseph Prince, apprentice to an ironmonger in- the rmrket-place, was ordered to shut the shop at half-past seven, because,anumb er of men wore Ills mast er had fire-* be4inning to assemble. arms in his sho; Three:other ironmongers shut p up- at the same tithe..

He saw the prisoner in 'company With another. The prisoner had a long pole, with a bayonet at the end. The other had a stick, with a sharp instrument in the end of it. • William Smitlpsaid his -mother kept a spirit shop. While he stood at the door, he saw a pistol fired. _They said it was Jackey Blacker. There Was t great crowd. He followed them, and saw I.3laeker loading his pistol from a round paper. Blacker said to, the people, " Go on, my lads." Blacken—How many were with rile ? • Witness.—Five or six'opposite to Jackson's. Blacker.---lie is 'right, my Lord, but as to the, - words, for I did not speak any thing: George, Hamilton, a printer, heard loud shout ing about a quarter. before nine. He saw 131,,cker with a cartridge in his hand, and pulling the top ofd to 'load his pistol. One division marched on ; a few stood with Blacker at Jackson's window. In Blacker's division, after a pistol was fired, there was a cry of " Hunt and Liberty t" There was a great deal of alarm. When they had formed into a compact body, there might be 200 or 300. - Matthew Hall, apprentice to a scissor -maker, saw a great.' crowd coming up li . !r the road from the market-place to the barracks. He heard shouting, and saw Blaclier loading a pistol. They said they were going to the barracks. Thomas Joht viin. draper went to the barracks to ctsllnnunicate the proceedings to Ccl. Ogilvie, the counnanding ollicer.., The barracks were a mile'from the town. On returning, he saw,about half-way, upwurcls of 300 persons. Ile heard, " Befirm, my ladi! all -in a mind to the bar racks." As he p'assed thein,he heard that ex pression frequent)) , repeated. Xilacker,.being asked if he had any questions, said he had only to say that Johnson had per-. jured hiinself when •he had been tried before, and that he now said not a Word of truth. - Mr. Justice PARR made some remarks on charges _against witnesses and depositions, and concluded by saying, ". Many take oaths when they ought not:" Blacker.—Yes, my • Lord, or I should not have had two years in this prison before, Fox, . constable, heard , the shouting and the cry of " Hunt and liberty 1 ." He heard them proposing the West Bar as the gaineit road to thd barracks. He heard - them say, when dis, • persing , Rem-my:her the 11th." John -Waterfall, constable, was sent off by Mr. Wortley from Pomfret on the morning of the iclth. He went with.several other constables to - Blacker's. - Blacker was .on—his- board (tailor's). Witness seized - a "pistol, which was placed over Blacker's lisad;` it was loaded with: slugs, : primed_ and cocked. A bayonet was found close behind Blacker. A long pole too was found, the end of which was exactly fitted for the bayonet. (All those instruments were produced.) George Alapp-leS 5 constable had found the long pole under the board, and, on searching pri- Goner's ;-box, found four cartridges containing slugs. : Thomas Smith, constable, drew- the pistol - , and had, taken : powder and slugs out .of The pri soner said it had_ been loaded with the same sort of stuff the day before..

Mr. ItAINE said, he should not have done his duty if he .did, not move that the prisoner's re cognizances should be estreated, for he had found sureties for. 5 years. Mr. Justice-, PARK.—Let them be estreated. his Lordship `'then described, the riot proved.. against-the prisoner as the most dangerous he had ever become acquainted with,,either judicially or professionally. The prosecution had been thbst mild and merciful, for the circumstances might have warranted a ,ditferent charge. "You appear, Sir, to be . a person of the blackest. possible heart and disposition. Your sentence is imprisonment for 30 months, and recognizances, yourself in 40/. and two sureties in 201. each, for 5 years longer. I hope you will never again set yourself up-to be a leader, for which, if it were virtuous, you-are not fit." Messrs. Raine and Littledale were Counsel; and the Crown Solicitor Attorney, for the pro secution. FRIDXY JULY 21 .

MINUTES of EVIDENCE r , 1,11 ye to the TIMBER TRADE taken before the SELECT' COM),IITTIOL of the 110USt of LORDS, appointed to inipiire into the Means of extend ing and securing the FOREIGN TRADE Witch's COUN TRY, and to Report to the House.- (Continued from our Taper of Saturday.) The following is the conclusion of the evidence. of rr T E- • —4JOINIAS . , Ruisia supplied chiefly by British Colonial Produce, or by the Colonial Prodnce of other Nations ?—CbietlY by Uri" Colonial Produce: but there-Appears a probability; that in consequence of a recent regulation by'which crushed sugars; usually known by the name of crushed hoops, are subjected to ai high a duty as rt fined ; while the clayed sugars front the Havanna!), and from the West Indies and the thazds, are admitted at a reduced ditty as raw sugars, the importations trout the latter Will he increased. _ Cali you state the proportion of the tonnage referred to in the statements you have given, to - the Gimmittre, employed in the Timber Trade, as distinguished front other merchan diz, ?—I cannot from,any papers that 1 have at •present with we, -but I believe that the ;Deal . l'iade under the present re ghlations is taller declining, as it has for souse time past,heen eonduvted at a toss. Is it,a very small proportion ?—1 should say that :it forms a subordinate proportion to the whole Exports froth Sr. Pe tcra‘i urg h. No inference, therefole, can be drawn from the statements you haye g - iven, and the v►riation in the tonnage of Briitsh vessels employed in the Trade generally, as to the state of the Titatier Team- particularly shouid.presume that it cannot, becatow the variations of demand for other articles of Russia produce, may very m uch out-weigh the fiuetuations of deiband for wood. The deals imported from Russia are chiefly-of th'e greater iength, are they 4mt ?—Yes. The duties t hen upon the deals imported from the Baltic cannot .operate so detrimentally upon .the Russia deals, as ,ompared ait h the deals front the North American Colonies, as they do upon the deals from Sweden and Norway_thht are of shorter lengths ?—l-should apprehend that the duties in question do operate more prejudicially to the deals from Sweden and Norway, than to those front Russia. Carr you state, from your aquaintance with Russia, what degree of success has attended the efforts nf t be•Oovernment to pi ontote the domestic Manufactures of the Country," and•of what they'principally consist ?—I cannot., speak front know ledge, not having been resident there'since my youth; but I understand, its general,t hat their manufactures, excepting of the coarser cloth-, have tint made any considerable prOgress. Is there much Cotton Twist goes to ItusSia ?—A but not living very conversant, with that branch of. the busi ss, I cannot speak in detail beyond any information that may be contained in the lists. Havumoi they established a Silk Manufactory in some part of the Russian Dominions am not aware that they base, but it is very possible that they may, as they seem to have strong predilection for favouring manufacturing productions ; hitherto, -I believe, with very little success, at their situation and habits are best calculated for the expuitation of raw prpduce. . _ . - You have stated the principal imports by us from the Russian dominions; have . the goodness to state in theLsaine detail Out 'Exporte to Russia ?—The f have Mentioned comprized the articles in Which I am principally'concerned as an . importer ;• at the same time, -they do constitute a very large proportion, including corn, of the expoi table produc tions or Russia.. The Exports from • this Country to Russia consist of a - grealvariety of articles, more thou can. be rut in-aced by any detail within my power to sire, but 'flatly of theta may be collected from-the papers that i have given in, Have many.of the vessels that have. gone fur Timber to• Russia gow• out in ballast ?—As the productions .in Russia are very bulky, whether of Timber. or other. produce, the . largest proportion of the vessels go cut in • ballast; the arti cles we-send are coruparativelyof small bulk, and great value,-. and therelm c occupy but a small proportion of shipping. Arc yon sufficiently acquainted with the state of the Timber . Trade ; though.it Is not your principal Trade, to know in-what relative proportion it is carried on by the different Baltic Powers ?—I doubt aty power of stating it with any thing iip 'proachingtn rii.ctracy. • .Is nut the. Russian 'limber Trade very small in proportion to thatrof the other Battle Powers ?--It May be small, com pared with the others collectively ; but I sfionld not consider it - small• compared with pay other single Northern State, though it may probahly ht sdniewhot less. Do not you believe that. hall the Baltic Timber Trade is carried on by Prussia alone?=:-1 should not have thoughttlrat Prussia had formed so large a proportion. Do not yoti believe that Pr ussia firms a much greater pro portion than.linssia ?—Yes; I should suppose - it might : but I beg leave to (*serve, - that the Expdrtation of Deals from Archangel and Ortega, which do not strictly come within the Description of Ports of the Baltic, - form a large proportion of the Exportations of Russia, and would present an increasing source of supply, with sufficient encouragement; and as con , neeted_with one of the objects of • thy inquiry, - I should say, that the employment of British Shipping, •irtnlctbe Ports' of Russia, generally May be stated to be tally -equal bylength of - voyages to that from the Colonies of North America, be- cause the ships that go for Deals from.Arehatigel and Onega, can perform but one voyage in. the Season ; and -the Ships for Timber and Dezils from the Russian Ports, in the Baltic can . hardlyanake mute than two voyages in the SeaSon'; - noW as . to America, I understand,- that though they can make but one voyage from Quebec, there are some of the lower Ports, - frein Which they can make two voyages; so that 1 should cer tainly put the employment of British Ships-in the Importation aif Tinther.ana Deals from Russia on a level with those from the Colonies of North' Ante, Have you not stated, that the demand for British 'Articles • in the Russian Droniniofis has increased, notwithstanding.t he' Present state of the. Duties ?—el believe !set out with saying, that the Exportation of Timber from Russia formed a very -ital./ordinate part of its exportable Produce; and therefore although the demand for .Timber from Russia has been of late decreasing, yet there ate other Productions, such as Tallow,: and Hemp, and . lrinseedarrd Cm is, for which of late years the demand has increased, ancl. in point of amount, the excess of demand fur those Articles very much counterbalances any falling oil of the demand for Timber ; therefore our Expor tations to Russia might go on increasing, to lay for the in creased demand for their more valuable Productions; nor withitanding any regulations of the. Timber Trade that should reduce that branch of the Exportation from thence. Then the state of the Timber Duties has nut tended to prevent the increase of out Trade with Russia?---It has not been sutticientto outweigh the causes of general increase of the Trstde, although, as far as it goes, it is a prawback. You have also said, that you thought the demand for Bri tish Manufactures would continue to in :Crease its the Russian. Dominions, on peeper measures. being taken?—Yes. 'Have the goodness to say, what are those measures which you would recommend as inducements to Russia for the increase of the Trade reduction, :or a disposition to reduce gradually such Duties as are not for the purposes of Revenue to this Country,but merely protective of souse branch of production of this Country, or of our Colonies, to the ex clusion of so much of eorrespoudjug or• similar production of Russian produce or manufacture. • j n speaking - 14 those Duties of which yen} would recommend the reditetio;a, do you apply yourself to the Timber .Duties or to others on other commodities, and which ?---T he T i mber Duties form one.of the most important features, by their excess, of a'disposition to exclude that description of Hessian Produce; at the same time there- are other Duties, such as a Duty that is .very disproportionate upon Potashes front Russia; ,Russian Linens of various hinds formed, some years back, a very large article of exportation from thence to this Country; they are now nein - Iy, .if not quite exc!uded; iron, Which in the year 1781 was imported from Russi a to this Country, to the extent of about 50,000 tons, and va ried between that and ao,ooo tons for several years, is now reduce , l, on an average of the last four or five years, to be tween three and four thousand tons per 'annum; one great cause of the diminution was the very heavy duty imposed in this. Country ; in the year 1756, the Duty . amounted to O. per ton, and it is 11011 between 6 and 7 pounds, being nearly forty per cent. upon the prime ; cost ; but I believe likewise, that there are other reasons for the failinioff tbat'particu-s Jar article, namely, the increased demand for: the - United states of il,rneri'ca, and likewise an extended consumption in Russia. The.reduction of that Duty is one of the inducements you would offer to 1111, , ii1l for the increaseiof the Trade ?—I shauld say, the reduction of the present Duty woultt be, considered as evincing . a disposition to conciliate; at the same time of course, the demand having altered so v . Z.fy math, and the iron rubies of Allis Connie): havingbeen:premitturely fostered to On en memos extent : 01 supply, I believe, that•nosy x prac itically speaking, airy' reduction of. Duty upon iron would (fire rate in a very slight degree ; that brauch of Trade has pre matrirOy lett us, but our, MineswoUld by this time, in all probability, fro:a other causes, have, kcorue a very large source of supply.. That would be an induceuient, 2 but a very slight -one, you think ?-1 7 e'ry z.* • • What would. be the indUcement which strikes your mind as likely to olKlatela the groatest degree witlAlussitt - tv Inmate • her intercourse with us ?—Tbere is, a.. very heavy pa i l 11 6 1 Heinp amounting to upwards of 30 per cent. ttpott the cost :' I behave that that' has been laid On successively.t s e t source of Revenue, and although that has at different t'.,"at been considered as detrimental to the Export Trade of 70, Article ; yet, I believe, t hat the Imposition of the PLOY o c been at such periods as has satisfied the Russian Gover atoe i, of the necessity for it; but can, only pay.in genera be that a disposition to reduce tire buties, wherever it 0 0 l' a , practicable, consistently with the Revenue which the. h o vertnuent is under the necessity of raising, .would,prOv e c l ue , we are disposed to cultivate an iiiteicuang - e of such Pr" l b, tious as we were best calculated to supply each other t bot walibut attenipritig to force 'ilhr own Productions, of our Colonies, to the exclusion of any:portion of theirS. ply Do you . iitit think, - that the - reduction of the Duty , taking aWay the high I)utron the Timher, would be aufg? r , t l inducement to Russia, to increase her dealings with u' r t he am inclined to think that those-Duties have been atiumP` l l l i most obnoxious (being the Most exorbitant of any) °oil Russian Gavernment, and therefore that the r , d uc ,i le j e, of them would be a stronger proof than perhaps Aiq of a disp , s,tion to resort to a more liberal prific.plo thercial Policy. Considering what you have stated of the small riot proporll'i l of Timber' imported from Russia, ell) you consider that t r t a d ivoufil be a very small inducement; that that would al' , l 3 ,: at i be merely colourable —No, I should-conceive trouvlltr ever heard of Whil , . has passed On .the differrolt discussl"-of what has transpired as to the d ispositions of Govern el„' l ',!, t , as to t liat.,:of the different indieidit,,is at t , sespe . c tiye r"' 4 that tie Tinnier duties have always hecir considered a 5 3s' oe, prominent feature oil' , disposttiiin to exclude the , t i ions of other countries wherever se could e ncourage a n) t :e our own, however interior.
