He could give the of ficio beet a very imperfect account of the Meeting, as he left the geiound before the Cavalry went these, and did not re after the crowd was dispersed. He did nut ask the olliirier if he had been to Manchester, and reply, on his say " Ne," "then you have ,lost, all the fun," nor had be any thing like such expressions... His business had car- Fig; 1 him to- the Warehouse at Manchester, and curiosity to oh him thence to the Meeting in Peter's field. He Vas aware that a dispersion of the totting would take r e face, from placards that he had sees about the town—the siotices given by,t he boroughs eeve and constables, from the tenor of which he thought the dispersion of the ineetiag Very likely.. 'the substance of the placard was a recommemlation to the people to keep at home, and to prevent their ivives, children, and servants, from attending the meeting. Wit ness, notwithstanding, aria to the meeting, at his own risk. lie thought he should have ruts some tisk had he staid, and that induced him to go away for a short time, and theu return. When he went away,. ,the field was completely thronged with people—when he returned, the military had possession of it. They were then Iningiog Mr. Hunt out of Mr. Buxton's house. He saw no persons that were wounded. Witness, had a mill burnt down some years ago by the Lad= dices, and lie believed that four pea sous were hanged fur it. Witness was at Gibraltar the time the mill was destroyed. lie never heard that the mill was ,burnt down by the black faccd spies hoes Bolton, and. if he haul heard such a story, he should out have believed it, Ho believed his name might have been putebia a as tme of the prosecutors. He might have heard that one et the persons executed was a child, but had never seen the parties. lie-examined by Mr. SCAR LETT—MitIICSS thought it was not safe to remain at the meeting, as he expected- that it would be dispersed. He did nut think such a meeting safe fur the lawn of Matuchcster. tie should suppose that there might be filer ;0,000 to 100,000 persans present. They were almost exclusively of the labouring classes, with the exception of . those whom he supposed to have been carried there by ca -1-1044y, irons their standing some distance trout the hust ings. Some of the persoos who formed the multitude might unquestionably be out of employmeat. Roger Entwistle, examined by Mr. Scatteerr —Was an attorney at Manchester. From ten to eleven on the liith of August, he %vas at the Albany Hotel, in Piccadilly, on the load leading to . Stockport. He saw a coach going at a foot pace, and a prucessiou advance as from Stockport that night, consisting of from four thousand to five thousand men, n arching• - like regular soldiers. They had banners and capt of liberty with them. Several hail the command of different parties. • Those who appeared to committal were un one side at certain iistervals, about a yard from the rest. They had sticks, apil very large 4)IICS. Some wafted with them, and some carried them on their shoulders. The coach stopped opposite the White Bear, in Piccadilly, and he saw Mr. Muorhouse step out of the coach which accompanied them. • One the marching men said to lilt», " Thou hest a good coat on thy back, but I shall have as good a one before the nizlo is nut." Several ut them on hearibg this went into the .huuse. Witness then went to St. James's-square ; there he shy the special constables in. front if Mr. Buxton's house. Mr. Hunt had nut then arrieed. Went to see Mr. Hunt com ,ing Op. Ile was in a carriage with Mi. Monthouse and sere sit hers. It was the same coach that lie had seen ars ive Stockport. Ili saw Mr. Hunt get on the hustings. He previously seen a party, said to be from Oldham and loss, arrive un the ground. They marched on, the band " Rule Britannia, • ' and the people exclaiming," Bri toa. never will be slaves." Altogether he should suppose must have consisted of at least one hundred tl.oasand men. 'Kiley were nearly all of the lower order.—. The rat...thig , 'as certainly ettletilated to inspire terror sent alarm in the inhalotanis of Mattchest 'r. It was proposed that Mr, nal-should - take the c (Mr. H oo t; then cause forward, took oil his hat, acid said he seas g!al that the meeting had been adjourned from tie preceding 'Monday, o r words to that effect, as they had now donitle the number as sembled in the eanse . thauthere.would otherwise Lave Iteeri: .-1 party of the military appro.ched, and Mr. Hoot pointing to the soldiers, " Your enemies ate among yi'm ; ,they attempt. to .molest_ you, get them_ down, an& wit4o..tuu. leave them down, keep them down." Shortly after the Yeo manry Cavalry appeared, and. winless thinking it unsafe to remain, went towards Mr. Buxton's house. There was a great shouting among the moll when the Yeomanry appeared. By Mr. Hunt—Witness was ail attorney ;• was clerk of the, Manchester Race Course; was examiteetl oo • the CiAVITWI's Inquest on his oath, and answered the questions put to him there. IVhat he said'at Oldham, and what he now stated at York, was true. lie again : described what. he lied seen from the.Steps.of the Albany; the coach went at a fetot pace, aud he conceived it tee head the Stockport division. The coach stop ped. lint the divisionwentaio • ; soiree of the persons had very large sticks, which they carried over their shoulders, but he had not said that they carried them as soldiers carry their muskets.

Hy had besides frequently heard them express t sentiments on such subjects. Stone of the phrchasers of the works iu question he saw at - the 'meeting. lie - had seen few Manchester faces there (but those of the lower or ders) who did not .gti from curiosity.

Witness WAS nom ten to heel ye yards distant, 'and behind the hustings/ while Mr. Hunt was speaking. The people were tolerably peace able while be (Mr. Hunt) was addressing them. A Mr. l'Slentzie was with him, and heard the same expressions.--- He could not recollect whether he used the word " adjourn ment" at the Oldham inquest : his opinion then anti 'since waso hat the word used hy him (Haut) was " adjournment "he went to St. Peter's field, beeatne he was determined to hear what he (Helot) had to say ; witness was not on the line of constables whets the military appeared; saw the Yeomanry' Cavalry ii,:vance, e some cantering, and the whole on a pretty sharp trot; witness went to the meeting by himselcand re turned with him (Hunt) to the New Bailey ; when lee- went to the meeting, he thought it perfectly safe to go by' him self ; he saw Iwo sir three' of the Woonded, a wohian in parti cubit, carried on to Mr. Buxton's house; felt great alarm. when he went to the held : saw the people, and particularly. the black flag, which More resembled a pall than any thing else, with the inscription 0 Equal Representation or Death ;" felt this fear before the Yeomanry arrived, nut knowing. what the result would be witness stated at Oldham,. that lee, saw danger the tuoment.he saw the partieS come in from Stock port. • . - Hunt—Did You not swear at Oldham that you saw no dan ger till the Yeomanry came in, hut that you t hen feared same danger might ensue:?--,Elis . reason fur saying . 10 was this, there were before no acts of violence, but win is they came within ten yards of the hustings tine were assailed by stones, brick-bats, and sticks; his fear was, what the result of the meting would be when it broke up ; he was Narful only for the result ; he did not hear a report that the meeting - was to be dispersed by the military that day; was not in London since May or :lune ; remained there a week. . Wit Ness never was in prison for debt or misconduct ; the assignees of a bankropA. and himself were served with :t notice of a petition in t'h, t ; ) - eery, and that•matter was now pending.

Cross-examined by Mr. Scar:LETT—M iiness could not sa y where the flag was placed, but it was upon the hustings for a time ; all-the flags and caps were ripon the hustings at one time: did not know if such was the case while Mr. Hunt was there. if what he said this day be compared with what he stated at the Oldham Inquest, he felt convinced they would agree in every material point. Francis Phillips, examined by SerjeantHe'LLoCK—ls a mer chant and manufacturer at Nlancliester; remembered b e iro,,,, , on horseback on the Itali; Mr. G. Bailey was with him ; met a number of persons at Hardwick Green, - a mile and a half from Manchester; they were advancing in file, with the re gularity of military, principally three a•breast; ,they had no music; had two banners, and pe , suli S by their side, act ing to appearance as officers; they regulated the files, and the order was perfectly regular, the number from 14 to 1500; they had no arms, but a number of, them had sticks, which they carried in various ways ; there wa,s one stick at tracted his notice, it had a rough thick bark, as if newly cut ; lie caught witness's eye, - raised the stick with his other hand, and struck it at him; saw the whole pass ; heard them pru-- nounee the words "left, right." Witness returned to Man chester; was a special constable that day ; went to the place where the Magistrates were assembled ; when he got to Peter's area, there was a crowd there, and the party he before met came shortly after on the ground; he knew them by their banners; one had the inscription, " NO Corn haws;" they marched in the same manner as before ; could not say what number were on the grouml ; the party he met in the morn ing marched up near the hustings; saw several other parties come up nearly about the same time; there was some music; the party he saw at Hardwick had no distinctive badge in their hats, but another wore a laurel leaf, and a third party something white, which hr did not know ; saw a party in a carriage, of whom he believed Mr. Hunt to be one ; he was eccompatiied by an immense 11111ItitUde, and witness never heard such noise as that which attended his entrance, nor ever saw such numbers before. It excited great appre hensions in him, and, in his opinion, was calculated to excite the same in the minds of the inhabitants of Mancliest,er ; be saw Mr. Hunt on the hustings; witness saw him address the multitude, but did not hear what • he said ; he could not be heard by half the purple. assembled ; it might be two ;Januar , after seeing Mr. Hunt that lie sass' Mr. Nadir ap proach the hustings; did not see Hunt taken; after seeing the military, witness returned home, and watered the doors of the factory to be closed in consequence of the great alarm he felt, and gave directions to the porter to keep the doors clos ed, and not to (lint his post. His motive for this was, that lie considered the town to be in imminent danger; witness dis mantled some fire-arms that mot fling, lest the crowd might pay him a visit : he put away souse bayonets that were at tached to old muskets. Cross-examined by Hunt—Witness was a merchant, and an author sometimes, wrote and published a pamphlet MI this business ; the one produced was the first edition publish ed, a second was published, 1000 each, sold many and gave away some, st nt assay sonic as presents to Members of Parlin• meat ; it was a few days after the meeting of Parliament; Mr. Bailey, a ha accompanied witness on the morning of th-2 frith, is brother to Capt. Bailey of the Manchester Yeomen ; did not know whether they were commanded by hint at the time; Major Trafford might hire been with them though witness did not see him ; saw Hunt on the hustings ; witness altered nothing of any importance in the pamphlet : be con sidered the town in great danger, and posted himself near the Nlagistrates to give them his support as he thought hi: was bound to do; gave no urderS that Lis we n should rewain in dmors.;. heard 111311 y tatintiny, expieSsions used on the field to very Mall who wore-a good coat went among - the crowd ; coosidereil the shaking of the stick as an insult; the military appe.tred to hint to a , •t with temper, discretion, aml two prirt y ; only saw the first advance; saw. the I:qh and Che shire Yeomanry come on't he field its aluird canter, when they observed the Yeomen in daagcr ; - saw soda iutatttry, and two pieces of tlyino artiikry no blood Spilt ; saw ~,very little of the battle; the dust and the number of consta bles prevented him front seeing much of what took place. Mr. here observed, thartli. ,- TitteStion 7 .lt to the shed din„ of {loud was irrelevant upon the present occasion. The question, was, - whether the meeting was a legal and peace-- aide one. He had a right to put any question tending to chow that it was peaceable. Hunt—l do nut think, my Lord, I could take a better way of proving that t ke meeting was peaceable than by showing that so far from offering any resistance, or attempting any thing like violence, they, on the contrary, tied wit boor ever raising a finger in opposition to the wanton and -violent attack made upon them. Mr. Hunt was proeeediug when he wasinter- Forted by Mr. Justice BAYLEY. whit said the questlon was riot applicable to the suivjec4 at present before the Jury. The question was, whether Ili% meeting . was such as had a tett dency to distill!) the public peace by creating alarm in the minds of his Maj.sty's subjects ; and if that was its charac ter, whether the defendant.: conspired to produce such au effect. Though a meeting was originally called for a legal purpose, it might become illegal by the means adopted to produce the effect, or by the manner of the meeting. That was the point the Jury would have to decide, and lie should so pot it tot hem. After a few observations from Mr. Hunt, in which he again remarked on the conduct of the Military and Magi , trAtes, and on an attempt which lie said was made to seduce the people into illegal acts, by sending druidic!' soldiers among them, J 1 r. Justice Bit rev said, he was at liberty to ask any (vivo jot, tyndin:: to skew what the character of : the UWO 2 ins; was, but such was not the maitre Of that last asked . of the witness. The examination then proceeded—The people were peace able on that part of the field where witness stood ; should have conceived it wrong to send the Constable's hitt, stiels a vast mass of pecirle ttosupported by the military. It wauld have been excessively impritileist.. The eeople round the hustings were close together ; did not see them locked ; this he merely heard from others; they stood as clog-together as pes ' sible. tVi 'less heard r;Othing thitiVai's'Aiti On the hustings by him (Htittit): It was natural the people should flock rouod the hustings to hear hint (Hoot) ; their wish to hear aline would not have made them stand round the Inast iugs as they did— Witness considered th em as discii.lined troops, who cants to protect or fight fur hint (Hunt), as occasion offered. Thry appeared to him ready to protect him, or tight for Into, so he gave the command. 'They were so close, the constables could. not ppr.wch ; there was a double row of constables from Mr. Boxtoo's .house. Witness. went down that row, but could not' get within 20 or 25 yards, of the hustings; did, not see the Manchester Yeomen come into the field ; saw them torso; was convinced they were sober ; spoke to some, and did not see the least appearance of inebriety.. He. saw Nadirs, Istst had no conversation with bins ; did not see Nadi!) make any effoit; to go to the hustings without the Yeomanry; it would ',have been madness to attempt it. • • . . Jeremiah Smith resided in Manchester; is head master of the gra m mar-school; was - near the Star on- the Rith ; saw a large body of men in Deansgate ; it was that party that con ducted Hunt to the ground; saw him iu an open carriage;' was in the 'musk next the star Inn; the coach stopped, and the party stopped also; shouted, hissed, and groaned, oppo-, site the Star Imt ; did - not know whether the Ntagistrates were. there - then or not. Saw or.hernal no signal,. but it seemed ter be done by consent. Hunt, tie thought, was sitting. There' were music anti banners ; could uuf say accurately what the numbers were; it was not practicable to. get along the• street; he acted toion that judgment, for he did tint go home that moment, as. he intended. The crowd next stopped: at the shambles,. nearer the ground ; they marched at first; irregularly, but near the carriage, both before aril alter it, there was great regularity; the mess marched in rows in a practised step. When they arrived in King-street,. the same thing occurred as opposite t tste Star, .bot being fur-' ther otr, witness did not see it so diativetly ; beard shooting, hissing, and a clapping of hands; a. white handkerchief was disPlared from some window; the Police-Office is in Back King ; •street. The mode in which they proceeded was most err:ft:Only calculated to inspire alarm ; many of them accusing ;ea be countrymen. This body i'iself was consi'lerAle, no d 'connectiog it with What he hev.rd to be in St. Peter's Field, he became very anxious.—Most of the shop windows- weft. closed, but the doois, as far ass he recollected, were opened. Witness abut his own windows, and locked both his front doors. The crowd rotund Idunt had raut at aid the air of a deliberative assembly. Cross-examined by Hunt—Witness is master of the Greek Grammar-school of slanchestet ; had a great nomberof boys ; dismissed-them on thit day after breakfast : the nuoilrer of day scholars and boarders- was 110, 15 being boarders they were sent home immediately after breakfast ; did not think it prodesct to keep them io school, thought it better to send them home, to be under the care of their respective parents. The wood hour of breaking up was halt-past twelve, and witness thought it safer to let them home at ten I hauat half-past twelve. This alarm arose principally from what might occur in the course of the aftermion. - tin insult was 'sinned to wit ness as he passed through Deansgate. Did not recollect to hear that any of his buys were tort on that day, .Recolleeted when George IV. was proclaimed the other day hi Manches ter, did not see any windows closed upon that occasion. Examined by Mr. Scant..err—When he dismissed the boys at ten, it proceeded front apprehension that some distort).- atter might arise; had he kept them till twelve, be would have felt much perplexed how to act,: He slid out kuow where the ' parents of a'l lived. • • . . John Barlow,-examined be Mr. Serjeant Honbocg--Keeps, the Coach and Horses in Deansgate, about 50 yards from the Police Office; was ou his premises nearly all the morning. His attention was arrested by a number of people mat - Ching along the street, and an open carriage With four or five.rudis inside ; a woman was on the box with-a Bag Miser baud: saw the crowd stop in King's-street, within sight of the Police, Office, and stopped a few minutes ; they turned their faces to wards the police, and gave three ehters. The persons in the carriage looked towards the Police Office, but he did not know whether they cheered. He saw some banners, one had the loser' " Eqoal Representation or Death." The 'cheers were .eery loud, never heard any thing like it before. They closed their windows to prevent their tieing broken; t wit nes* did out go opt after ten o'clock that day, in conseooence of• the alarin ; lie Cross-eximiluol hy ,Hunt—Witness remembered the pro- ciatuation of peace; there-were then great crowds in Man chester, but nothing compared to those on the 16th.
