TRIAL OF MR. HUNT` AND OTHERS. SEVENTH D.Y. YORK, THURSDAY NIGHT. I: 4e Court was but thinly attended in the early part iif the morning. At nine o'clock the pro ceedings were resumed. John garnsbaw was called, but being a Quaker, could not be sworn. The JUDGE (having referred to the Act) decid ed, that evidence in criminal cases could not be received on ihe affirmation of a Quaker. Mr. Hunt had thought that the testimony -of a Quaker could be received on Itis solemn affirms don, which, it inlse, would expose him to a pro secution for perjury, He, however, did not wish to press the examination of Earnshaw, as he could call persons who were with him to prove the facts he had been called to establish. John Brettaigh, a wharfinger, residing at Pen dleton, was with Mr. Fornshaw, and another mem ber of the Society of Friends, in a room looking over the meeting on the 16th. 'Business was not stopped, and nobody expressed alarm to him on the subject of the meeting, nor did he feel any himself. If lie had felt any alarm he should have stopped his own teams, which proceeded to their dvstinatioo as on another day. The processions he had seen were accompanied by many decently dressed women (apparently wearing their holiday clothes) and childi en. Saw no large sticks or bludgeons: There might be some common walk ing sticks, btu nothing more. lie must assuredly have seen their weapons, had they carried any thing more than common walking-sticks. Went io the meeting. Was in a room in Wiodmill row, or Windmill -street, which overlooked Pe ter's-field. Described the assembling of the meet ing. lie heard " God save the King'played, and " Rule Britannia," as he thought, by the beating of the drum, and nothing disloyal in the,conduct of those who attended the meeting. Witness did not belong to ally of the Unions for Reform. Thought the meeting the grainiest sight he had ever seen in his life. Saw no violence offered to Mr. Nadin, or to any of the constables ; saw Mr. Bunt mike; lie was received with cheers, and the people pulled off their bats. All those who came to the field in divisions polled off their hats, when " God save the King,," was played, bite the . constables did itint complaining of something that had occurred behind the hust ings, and he (Mr. Hunt) then said, " It any per son attempts to create a distudiance, put him down, arid keep him down." It was impossible that be could have . applied these words to the military, for they were not in sight at the time. The advance of the military caused some contu sion, and the people began to run, . Mr. Hunt cheered, and those with him .cheered, and this caused the people to stated still again ; saw the Military put diemselyes into line, but saw no at tempt to resist them on the part of the people. tVitness never took his eyes off the military till they got round the hustings ; they advanced in is canter or gallop, as fast as they could go.• Saw no bricks or stones thrown ; could see die place as well as he could see that Cour. Cross-examined by Mr. SCARLRTT—Had lived, at Pendleton 34 years ; witness shook a handker chief frow the window of the room Where he was on the morning of the meeting ; he did this on the arrival of Mr. Hunt, and joiued in the cheers then given ; could no say whether the, bigger cheer was gi'ven for Mr. Hunt or for the soldiers.

Never knew of any riot or breach of the peace at any of the:meetings which he had attended with, his master. Remembered the sol diers surrounded the great meeting at Brandon hill, in Bristol. The people Cheered' the,soldiers going and coming, but this did not appear to give the least offence. • He remembered meeting some Horse Guards on returning from one of the Spa fields meetings. Some of the people hissed the soldiers, but Mr. Mint did not. He rose and told the people nut to hiss the .soldiers,. but to cheer them. Remembered that this condUct was re peated on Meeting with other soldiers on the same day ; went to the Spa 7 fieltls , meeting on the 2d of December with Mr. Hunt ; all was peaceable and quiet ; heard that morning of a riot in Snow hill before they got to Spa-fields; went with Mr. Hunt to Bullock Smithy ; proposed going back, as the Manchester, nteetiog was put off from the 9th to the 16th August.

Hecuilected that Mr. Hunt spoke to the people, and la - rriented that he could not. stay, as he must go . ' back into the country on business, but said he would return on the 16th. Witness held himself in readiness to return with Mr. Hunt till the following Wednesday, when he came to the stable and said he had made up his mind to stay over the 16th. Ile remembered the horse Bob ; he was dead, and buried at Preston; witness had seen his grave and monument ; the horse was said to have been poisoned at th e L an . caster Assizes. Had never known Mr. Hunt to exc ite the people to violence; knew that Mr. Hunt, in Eltord, where he was brOught up, was considered the poor man's friend ; always en couraged industry.-01r. ScABLETT here remark ed, that in this case the usual practice was revers ed, and the servant was called upon to give the tnaeter a character, instead of the master being called upon to speak to the character of the ser vant.)—Had never seen Mr. Hunt, or any of his visitors intoxicated. 'Squire Whitmore, and the Clergyman of the village, were the persons who visited him most frequently ;- his fellow servant had lived upwards of six years. under his present master ; had never before been a witness in a Court of Justice.

By the JupGa—Had heard Mr. Hunt stfy that a poor man, who worked hard from Monday morning to Saturday night, ought to have enough to maintain his family. Edward Baines, jun. examined by Mr. Hunt — Had made no deposition ; had not read or been made acquai•nted with any part of the evidence on this trial. He attended the Manchester meeting, for the purpose of reporting the proceedings. Saw the different bodies come up-, arm in arm, towards the hostings.• They were received with three cheers. They did not take up their stations in a very regular manner. Saw nothing very parti cular in their manner, but that they came in dif ferent-bodies-. Saw nothing more than common w.ilking-sticks among them. A considerable number had sticks. Did not notice a greater pro portion among " the with sticks 'than • was usual in a mixed assembly.. Saw no large stones carried 4 aurot..them ; bad stich, been carried, thought he nnost have seen them. •r He _then described the propesdings of the meeting. "Some persons, who cane front a distance, had wanted refreshment, and'a subscription was made for all. Afterwards it was determined to have nothing but_ water, and a-eatm of water was sent for. When Mr.. Hunt arrived, he seemed dissatisfied with the situation of the huitings. He (Mr. Hunt) mounted them, as did about 14 girls, dressed uniformly in white. They were placed there for safety, as the pressure of the crowd was very great. One or two women had previously fainted, and been lifted on the hustings. • An attempt was made by those nearest the hustings to push themselves back and leave a space between them and the hustings. They suc ceeded hut very partially in this, and to the best of his recollection they were close up to the hust ings while. Mr. Hunt was speaking. Mr. Hunt spoke .and witness took notes of his speech in short-hand. He then read the speech, which, in substance, agreed with the report given of it by other witnesses for the defence. Towards the close ot the.speech witness observed the cavalry advance; they were 'in considerable disorder. — Before they came in sight Mr. Hunt stopped in rite middle of his speech, for,what reason .witness did not know, and called on the . people to give three,cheers. He then s aid., there is some•dis order on the outskirts, it - is only to rally them, that is all."' Three cheers were given, but no more l before , the cavalry came. Mr. Hunt said, •".this•isa trick, you see they are.indisorder."— The e!svalry, after halting for-about three minutes, brandished their swords. - " • - . By the JUDGE--Witness saw n.o.thing done . to 'encourage the crowd to. .offer ,resistance. His eyes,were fixed on them as they .advanced into. the house, till they bad got about tin yards into the crowd. Saw no stones'thrown, or sticks lift ed at them, or any other inatilt"otTered. Should think' Mr. Buxton's 'house 60 or 70 yards from.the hustings. • He continued to look on the 'cavally •till they arrived within 20 or 30 yards. Then he turned away, and in about half a minute they arrived at the hustings. Mr. Hunt stood, and stretching 'out his arm, cried " Be firm." His face 'was then in the direction of the cavalry, and the words were addressed to the whole crowd.—. No application was made to witness's knowledge. for the cavalry to pass through. He had no know ledge of the purpose for which they approached, and had no reason for thinking that Mr. Hunt bad. He saw no constables accompanying the cavalry. Mr, Hunt said, " Live three cheers ;" this was whilst the cavalry were advancing. While they were among the crowd Mr. Hunt called out se veral times, " be fit m." Three cheers were given before they were in sight, which had not ex pired when they halted at Mr..B4ixtoa's door.— Did not remain on the hustings till Mr. Hunt was. arrested. Re-examined by Mr. Hunt—He left the hust ings when the cavalry were about 10 yardsavitbin the people ; he then went about four yards in the opposite direction to Mr. Buxton's. He saw a trumpeter on a pyebald hoists wheeling about ; the crowd, by a sudden impulse, fell back ; he was 1 carried 30 yards ft - fon the spot on whien be had stood; he then got on a cart to sce what was passing ; met with no impediment to his retreat, but from the density of the crowd, The (rum peter was about two, yards from the hustings, be tween witness and the hustings. There - was •no locking of arms behind, and on the side where the witness.was.. Saw no cordon of people-with locked arms, six or eight deep surrounding the hustings at a distance of six yards. lie thought it impossible for any one to see that arms were locked at a distance of 'lour vards from the !mt . ings ; he could - not say Whether or not lhey were !joked arm in arm before. 'Saw no difference in thepeople's.forming on that day, front the man ner in ichi - Clirliey assembled on other occasions.— Heard no per Son call ow . those COI° first arrived, " to piece it the cavalry and the corruption lions coming among the . in " It was not possible for a person at 100 yards dista nce (ft om Buxton's), to see that the peOple stood' ,round the hustings with locked arms. .Saw nothing warlike in the appear ance of these persons ; theydid not seem at all like disciplined (1040, ready to pro , ect floor, or to fight for him as occasion offeredi. 'There were many wearer among them. 4hree cheers given, if he expressed his opioion of (hem. wete three cheers of cons cious i n nocence, Confidently relying on the prOiectiou of th'ettsv Mr. SCAKLETT• objecied..to this being as evidence. • The JuoGrs said, the witness had a right tti give the impression on his nand, ainrit might very pos sibly have been as he supposed. (Esamination..te, , utned)—HeArd .Utint say no thing (referring to the militaly), like " get them down, and when you have them down, keep them down." He was close to Mr. Hunt ; thought he could not have'acted thus without his knowledge. Did not hear -him.say ." Never mind ; they are only a few.soldiers, amt we are a host against them." Had such words, been used he must have heard them. The Manner in ~hich he (Mr. H.) had used the. words " be firm" was accompanied by nothing to induce resistance, but seemed mere ly intended to induce the crowd to stand where they were, to prevent them Nom r tinning, and to guard aviinst danger and contusion. Mr. t , cARLETT objected to a question being put as to the impression on the witness's mind. The JUDGE thought, after getting at the words and manner of the party, a question as to. the im-. pression. produced by them might be put. Mr, Hunt would consent to give up the point, if that which had ben obtained - from the im pressions of some of the witnesses for the Crow n were struck out. Mr. SCARLETT said, those went to chew the character of the meeting. ?Ir. Hunt remarked, the Learned Counsel thought impressions .might be taken or, one side, but not on ►he other. Examined by the JUDGE—Saw no disposition in the crowd to put themielves in any posture of offence or defence ; Mr. Hunt found no fault with them for not puttingthetustlves in a posture of of etice or defence. Reexamined -by Mr. Hunt—He (Mr. Hunt) did.tiot stretch out his arm in a threatening atti tude, but in a way to preserve neacc. __. • . , Cross-examined by Mr. SCARLETT—Did not know whether Mr. Hunt hart his hat on or whe ther it was in his bend at the time ; had taken notice of the walking-sticks in consequence of what had been said on the subject of the inten tions of the Reformers, in the Papers. By Mr. liartnow—Did not remember seeing Jones on 'the hustings. By Dr.HEALEY—Remembered seeing Dr.Hcalt y on the hustings, and remembered that,he had de sired the people to be silent or quiet. By the JUDGE—Took notes previously to the arrival of Mr. Hunt. Did not know for what purpose the cavalry were coming towards the hustings. Tutu Schofield examined by Mr. Hunt—Was at Lees on the 16th, and at Oldham. Saw the peo ple assembling with flags and harmers, but saw no disposition violence. He went to Man chester the same morning. All business there seemed to go, on as usual. Saw the Stockport procession arrive. It was accompanied by many women, girls, and boys. He saw other divisions arrive ; saw no insult offered to any one ; did not see any large sticks carried by the crowd over their shoulders ; saw nothing to alarm hip in the conduct of the people, and saw ne one assaulted by them ; he saw the cavalry advance on the people. By the Jut:tag—Saw no disposition to resist the military. Re-examined by Mr. Hunt—Saw no resistance or abuse offered, by any part of the crowd to the military. They appeared to get out of the way as fast as they could, that the cavalry might pais.. Kept his eye : on them, while they advanced from. Mr. Buxton's, as well as he could. Saw no stones thrown 'or bludgeons lifted. The people were so jammed and crowded_ by one another that this was impossible. Saw no resistance from the first to the last. Robert Harrop, examined by Mr. Hunt—Was the manager of a spinning concern at Lees, Re-• membered directions being given to buy some . bleached cambric to make a flag for the Man chester Meeting. The colour was white. No in structions. were given to put any motto on it, but a tomber of persnos engaged to put on certain de vices and'inseriptions; 'A young man engaged to do them iii blank. This ,was ddne, and it did not answer, When he began the letters went through, so as to itaercept the reading. It was then arced, as they had no-Other paint, that the flag should be painted black ; this was,done, and the letters, &c. were painted white. The sole cause of this being done was that which he had stated. Nothing was said about a black flag being considered more of fensive than a white. one.. Went to Manchester on the 1.611), hut not i.n a procession. He de scribed the peaceable couiluct and unwarlike ap pearance 'of • the people that he saw march into Manchester. Did not see that any alarm was manifested-by the people of the town. Saw no insult or 'act of violence offered.. At the meeting he saw the cavalry go towards the hustings.' By the JUDGE—Did not see the people offer any resistance ; did not see that any of the peo ple had clubs or sticks with which they could have resisted. _ Ctow.examine4 by NIL% SCARLIITT—" No 1)0.*
