Ano ther witness said', " They should make war on 11104 e that starved them,;" but, Gentlemen, I now -conceive war is . Made' on me, 'hostilities are not only commenced, but a'n illegal—legal - war, or a ~rear by means of the law is • openly mode on me.: 'These witnesses, Gyntlemen, are' peeei-affieets; .-employed in the Police •ist 11 - atieheste who 'bet& ditl4 reor employe, s to serve and . ends _to - gain ; and, - Gentlemen, when you look to r s‘liat they said, , .1 hake 1,0 doubt • yo,l, will consider ihe . detendant as o'grosslyinittred - nolividtral.' The'inecting is as Siftten ti) be ridrertized, but where Why, -Gentlemen, all I preached was•a-tisnal lecture on 15abbatirday eveni,,gs'. 'The 'peo; , l:.' repaired 11l chutchmoielly,'and•returned -hurts f tall of teinicingslo'the Almighty. Gentlemen, in - 11;;!. eighih count l VD most grievously charged, and if guilty of that, 1 deserve to be - punished, thst 1 moot disprove—it charges me With exciting se- . .veral - persons to at ms to overawe the two Houses of Parliament, and make instil reel ions in the realm. • Why, if this were true, 1 deserve indict ing, and to be found guilty. Rot I am confident you will not be able to find me guilty on any one -coont in the indictment. Great stress f, laid upon the day, the 16111 Actg., for which Mr. Hunt nod others - were indicted, as it there had been sows; design in my preachiog to train, drill, aq fit the people who beard the lot some extraordinary transaction to Manchester. lVitlt that I ant woolly unconnected ; I.never designed to go thete. But on Ihe day they met, 1 intended to go there, but arrived after it was dispersed by the sabres of the ea volt y; I .n mild hove taken no part in that meet- Ifeconse•l had deter mined never to go to any public meeting without an invitation. .it you had any proof of this, 1 night have been included with that on which others wete tried ; but, Gen tlemen, there is none. My ministry, Gentlemen, is attended by poor people, and people,. who, it I had excited them to insurrection, they would no longer have listened to me ; no, they would soon abandon me. Indeed, Gentlemen, Ido not know *toy one of a more peaceable disposition than my belt, for 1 eannin indulge tevenge, even against those who injure me. All who know me, know lom the rexerse of hut is alleged against ate. But, Gentlemen, I would 'not have you take this Merely on my saying, and 1 trust the Court have no objeolou in letting use bring for ward an evidence or two in my favour as to these points. Stanley Hamiltbn examined by Harrison was at the Room on the 15th August, ten minutes before service and after it was -over ;' obserVed every thin: very regular, as becometb a place of worship ; you (Harrison) preached out of the Bible ; you exhorted the people not to go to public-houses, and not to spend their ail to the destruction' of their. families ; 1 beard nothing to encourage the people to insurrection' of to starve the Government. Cross-examined' by . Mr. BeNYOil---I am a wea ver; Wlnnis lodged with me for seven or eight. years. ATTORNEY-GENISRAL—It's a mistake; you are not the person. John 13orgests examined by Harrison—l was at the room - on the 15th of Angus' ; 1 joined•with the congregation in religious worship, in sitoging'and prayer; there might' be 500 people there ; it was not So fully attended as usual ; you preached from the Scriptures; I did not conceive you preached a political 'sermon ; I never beard the o ord Government mentioned ; 1 heard the defendant admonish the people to avoid drunken ness, which was the case With many ; you stated di ti bad brought many families to great etarvat ; nothing to excite the people to arm,' oldie the reverse to that. I did not hear defend ant say the people should starve the Government, nor that it was a corrupt Government ; it it were said, I am certain I should have heard it. • Robert 'Jump, examined by Harrison—l was at the Windmill room on the evening of the 15th of August ; I recollect some little of what oc curred ; •the preacher encouraged the people to peace and good order, and to abstain from public houses. I heard nothing . disrespectful spoken of the Government, nor heard the people advised to reform the Parliament by force—far from it. Cross-examined by Mr. MANLEY.—Wus door keeper that night ; I have' but little to do with the management of the chapel. Robert ‘Vilkinson deposed to t i ne same effect, • CotraT—Who do you "call next, Mr. Harrison ? Harrison—l do not, my Lord, "think it neces sary to call any more. 1 shall here close my - defence. Mr. ItitiNvotc—Gentlemen of the Jury, in rising to reply, I feel it will not, be necessary for me to• occupy much of your especially at this pe riod of the Sessions. You have heard the Charge made against the defendant, you will bear in mind -the allegations and the proofs I have offer ed to substantiate theni, and if you believe - the words you have heard were actually made use of, I know not for what other motive under Heaven than the one suggested in the indictment. One witness (upon whom some aspersions were en-• deavoored to be east, but who from" his demea rtour and general conduct to-day becomes, it pos sible,' a more credible witness th a n he would otherwise have been) has proved to you, almost: verbatim, the defendant's use of the words charged against "him in the indictment, anti . unless you disbelieve this witness, corroborat ed in•the main by the ry() - others mill() fol lowed him, you cannot possibly decide ha fa vour of the defendant ; indeed, Gentlemen, as have already stated to yoir, if yon believe the words sworn to by Cowper to bare been used, I should be insulting your understanding to affix any other intention to them than that of exciting the people to insurrection, - and endeavouring to bring the Government of the Country into hatred and . contempt. .11 tlre imputation attempted to . be cast capon that witness were followed up by the ver dict, it would go to say, that no 'repentance for early etitue•Can wash away its stain. Having gone over the evidence, lbe Learned Attoroa`y-lieneral contirined.—Has this (Maw werable case been an-' starer( or paittated by - Mr. Harrison"? He styles itintSelf'"a= liter, ittioffendlng, and religirins man ; I hope on other occasions lie is so; hut sure I am, that when he uttered the seditious expressions have proved to you, he could not lay. claim to the character be has now set up. Ile says, k former cannot speak either bad or good of the Government, without incurring the danger of a charge If, 1 answer, 'he says what it had, he ought to be punished;" if he say good, God forbid I should say he did not say so, with ingenuous 'test and .every honesty. lVith regard to his many extracts front the Set iptures, which he has cite4,-1: say they are of divine origin, but applied to tittles and circutnstanees'totaDy Jiff tent from those in Which We live*; and while.] once, and while I pay every respect to every thing coot aintd in the Sacred, volume, I have no hesitation in saying, if seine of the extracts were applied to the Govern ment Of IL'tigland, anti int en . ionaliv so applied, that such application of them would be seditious. It sedition were grafted on them, their publica tion would be criminal, and c onsequently penish able. It was altogether tar tetched indeed to think at•all of applying them to England. As to the de fendant's motives lor becoming to Reformer, I do not object to diem '; if they were as he has stated thent. tiny were good, perhaps laudable; but the disclosures he had since disseminated were not to he endured in any country that •looked to the peace and security of the people. After some furthei. observations, the Learned Attorney concluded, by committing the case to !behest and most impartial coosideration of mite The Curet" Jos Tice proceeded to sum up the case to the Jury. Atter having reed over the in &et merit, be said, The first thine, you will have to con•ider is, whether the words were spoken or tint ; the second, whether they are seditious ; and thiroly, Whether they were sPoken with intent to exci.e in the minds of , the liege subjects of the King, a contempt for his person and Government. In order-to enable you to do' this ; T shall read to you the evidence that - has been given.—[Fhre the Learned Judge read oyes' the evidence, as we heve alrea'dy detailed it.]—ln one part, he asks if it was fit that the 'people shook! obey the laws so made % • This, though pot in the way of a ques tion, was a direction - not to obey the laws of the cottony. It is the duty of the Magis trates to procure'. persons to give concert in formation .of what takes place on such occa sions as the present, and therefore no imputa tion could be cast on the witnesses called to prove what they had been sent to collect, from the cir cumstance of their being so employed by the Ma gistrates.. In allusion to what one of defendant's witnesses said, the Learned Judge observed, Har rison wished to shew that his discourse was a religious one, and yet we have his own witness, who tells yon that he said the House of Commons was corrupt. Was not this an introduction . of politics Having gone through the evidence, the -Learned Judge said, that he saw no reason on earth' tci'douin the witness Cowper. He does not comeAoere charging his memory with what was said,-be took notes of it, and therefore there Could be'no doubt as ro fallibility of memory, and he was corroborated by three other witnesses, who swore to the same words. Nor did Mr. larrison attempt to explain by the context what he meant by the words imputed to him, which he had an opportunity of doing, by asking 'what was said before and what after. On the contrary, he en deavours to shew that lie did not use them at all. But all that can be -taken from his witneses is, that they did not hear him say the coals, As to whether the words were seditious or not, it would be a waste of time to speak on the subject ; what could be more likely to e x c it e ilisconlent a n d dis affection, than beitic told from the pulpit that the Government starved the people, 'and that the people ought to starve the GoVernthent We judge of • men by their actioils, as lAell as their words. What then could Mr. Harrison mean b y using - those wOrdi: tiole - ,is . that Which is charged against him This sermon be professes was a religious one; and grounded on the Gospel ; but surely these words could have no rclerence to the subject of religion. If you believe, Gentlemen, that the defendant used these words with the in tention ;miued to bin;, you will floc! him guilty ; if you have any doubt on your nitods you will give hint the benefit of it. The T Jury: without leHving the box, returned a Verdict of Guilty. THE KING V. HARRISON. The AT TORNEY GENERAL 9:sid, this W 39 anin dictmeot for misdemeanour against the defendant, on which he had an opportunity of challenging any of the Jury if be pleased. Mr. Harrisonl shall certainly challenge the whole Jury, my Lord. ' • The ebief,Justice—lf you do you must assign a reason for it. Mr. Harrison—My Lord, they have found Me guilty on one indictment, which 1 thought they could not 00, and I think that is a sufficient reason why they should not try me again. The Chief JuSticc-;-That is not a legal reason, Sir. Mr. Justice Marshall—No, no, that is not a legal reason. The Attorney-General—My Lord,. we'will get a fresh Jury if the defendant wishes ; I have nu objection. The Chief Justice—Well chi so'. You act very fairly; only I wish - it to' lie understood that the defendant cannot hare it as a matter of right, unless he assigns a legal objection ,to the present Jury. Another Jury was then called. ' Mr. Harrisun 2 —My Lord, I understand that some of the last Jury arc again called. Mr. Justice Marshall—That is no matter. Mr. Harrison—My Lord, I shall not say a word in my de fence, unless I have a new Jury; the Attorney-General may take what course he. pleases. The Chief Justice—!You will take what course you please, Mr. Harrison, in your defence. Mr. Harrison—l have not a list of the Jury, my Lord. The .Pruthonotary—You shall have one, if you wish it. My. Harrison—Burn says, that a Juryman having served on one trial is a sufficient reason against his sitting on a second against the same person. • The Chief Justice—No, no ; you will not find it any where fur a mi s den.eanour. The Attorney-General—My Lord, wishing to have every th'ng fairly done, I hastily told Mr. Harrison that I would get a new Jurv.• . Not Wishing to retract this:promise, I shall, if your Lurdships do not feel it necessary to press the trial, put it tato the next Assiies. The Court—We cannot express an Opinion on the subject. It is for the parties to agree about it. The Attorney-General—Then,. toy Lord, I shall. give Mr. Harrison big choice, if he wishes it. JUstice Marshall—l think, Mr. Attorney-General, you had better bring the case on now, and put,an end to it. . . . Some delay. occurred in endeavouring to procure a new Jury. Mr. Justice Mar,hall said, that in future it would he ne cessary to impose flocs upon those who did not answer when called upon. Some persons in Court were called upon ; but The attorney General - said,, that the Citizens of Chester claipied the privilege of :exemption front serving . on County Juries. Mr. Justice Mnishall- , -I think we uiustdiApute that The Mgt S'heritt is Writintabie fur this delay. lie ought to ha've a su i llicient number ofJ uryinen itt.attendance. . A Jury hating been at length impanelled, Mr. Harrison said, he objected to George Edwards: The Court-;4l'irit is your objection ? = . • •ci challenge peichiptotily, my Lord. The Court—Tina *ill not do. You might do so on a trial fortreasun or felony, but not for - misdemeanour. Edwards was sent off, and another Juryman sworn in his ' place. ~Mr. Manley opened the proceedings. He stated this to be. an indictment against the defendant for using the following words seditiously, and with a rimy to bring the Government into contempt Kings, Princes, Dukes, Lords ; Commons,. Parliament., Archbishops, Bishops, Prelates, Rectors, High Constables, Constables, Sheriffs, Deputy Constables, and Bailiffs, are all corrupt, and the time is hear at hand when they will be upset. The people should rise en-nudsse to app - press such a tyrannical Government as the one of this country ; and it will not be long, but very soon, that it shall be over turned, and many a bloody battle may be fought, and many.a one incarcerated in prison before it shall he accomplished." The Attorney-General said, this indictment charged •I he de fendant with malicionslv and seditiously atteniptiny, to over turn the Government of the Country, and 10 excite cuntenipt and disaffection in the minds of his late Majcsty'a sithjects. He should prove that these words were tittered on the atli December at Stockport, in a sermon preached by defendant at his chapel during reciting service. It Would be for the Jury to sav,• whether these words were seditious, and if they were used with the. int ention charged upon the defendani. If they could on their oaths say, t hat t he defendant had HO such motives, then you will acquit film, and:if otherwise, they would find him guilty. Mr. John Robinson examined by Mr. Manley—What arc you, Mr. Robinson ? Wittiess—l am a man, T suppose. The Couit directed witness to answer with More ptopriety. I have been a barrack master occasionally...l a,ttended.at the Windmill rooms, at Stockport, ein the 5f h December. I saw Parson Harrison and a crowd of - people there. went there in consequence of having Seen an advertisement of the meeting. t went to the steps leading to the room; I Vas sufficiently near to hear what was said. Mr. Harrison was preaching. - I could specify toy reasons fur going, if— Judge Marshall-Cunfine yourself to answering the ques tions put to you, Sir. Witness—l heard Harrison say, that all Kings, Lords, Dukes, Commons, parliaments, were corNg. • have my notes, but 'believe I have left them. I believe I have -got my notes spine:where about Inc. Mr. Harrison—l übj,:ct to his reading his notes; be may fools at them. - Witness—l took my first notes at my father's, and 1 copied this paper (producing a paper). Mr. Harrison—My Lord,_l object to his teading his notes; he ;nay refresh his memory from then► if he pleases. Judge Marshall—Why do you ohject ? Mr. Harrison because it is contrary to law. Mr. Marshall—Pray where do you find the law against it Mr. Harrisim—My Lord you know it. XVitne•s read from his notes—Archbishops, bishops, high constables, constables, and deputy constables, bailiff's, and even 'till he came unto the common brim bailiffs, were all corrupt; and that if such x tyrannical Goveroment most exist, the people ought to rise en masse to sdppiess such to tyrannical Government. Mr. Harrison—My Lord, it appears that the witness is intoxicated. It is calculated to bring . this Court into con tempt ; you ought to look t o it.- Marshall—(to witness)—Go on Sir. Witness—He went on to speak of Neah's flood and the Ro man Government. He said it would nut lie long, and that it should not be long, when such tyrannical Governments as the one in this country should he upset, and the people should rise ea masse to suppress such a tyrannical Govern ment as the one in this country.. , . The Court—Mr. Harrison, do you wish to ask any ques tions of the witness? • Mr. llarrisoit—A3 your Lordships have thought proper to exautioe him, I shall do so. _ _ Harrison—Do you ever read your Bible' Witness—Yes, and so do you, I suppose. Judg e Marshall (to witness)—Do you know that you are on your oath ? I 1 )ou'do, you must not joke: Witness—l have read the Ten' Commandments. The tsth Thou shalt not bear false•syitness against, thy neigh hoar." I have had the command of the barracks some time. I was in the employ of Mr. Harding. Mr. Harrison—How long were you in that employ Witoess what is that to you Judge Marshall—You must answer the questions put to you. Yuu are conducting yourself in a Manner nut credit• able tea you. Witness—l lived in Mr-Harding's employ le months. Mr. Harrison—What were you ? book-kenTer ? IVitdess-1 don't know bow to answer yott; that is a very blackguard question. Judge Marshall--Answer, Sir, or I shall commit you. Witness—There never was a clOciency of 4001. in my ac-, count A; tny brother did not e;nnountid for me. " Hartison—Were ❑ot you in danger of being trans; ported,under the Embezzlement Act • The Court stopped, the ansAer to this question. James Whalley--I went to the %Vitt.lmill Roems with the last witness; T did not See Harrison, but I heat d his voice; I ecvcr heard it befOre ; I heard bittit speak; but not as a preacher; I knew his voice because Smith saidto the-pteacher, Mr. Robilison is at the dour, andahe saute voice said, if Ito, !Anson is at the door let bins come in. The voice eeen h al to t come from a pulpit; i did not see a pulpit ; I him stat ing the state of corruption before the Antediluvian world.— He said the people in their days acre corrupt, and that it al most repented God that he had made tosin; and that Noah, as a'preacher of righteousness,had warned the penple for the space if 100 years in pleparnis; of the Ark, in which only sight persons were saved. 1 ti.len-ljt.ufd the same voice treat,, upiat the Roman ,Government ; he said it was ,tyran nical. He then coMpared 'that Government to the pre - sent . Government of this kingdom, and soid that , King,' Lords, Dukes,, Comnrons, Archbishops, Bishops, Itectors„-Iselitfs, Polieeollieers, High Constables, Constables, all aiithorities till •be came'ilown to comirnOui Ruin Bailiffs, were cohaild ; that our present Government was tyrannical.

The saute voice began to say what collection hail been made. • Cross-examined by Mr. H—l ant not in the •employ . or the Police, nor was I ever; I sena to Ihi Wiudnsill..ltounstwith Joins Robinson ; I did nut see him have any liquor oa that night; he did not appear to be intoxicated. I ant git'nerally a sober man, but I get a drop sometimes; I'dare say I gut a drop last week, but I did not disgrace msself. I seas formerly em ployed in carrying out political publications, but I ,cannot say that I ever sold twopenny trash. I was agent to Mr. Gleave, of Nlaneliester. Mr. Harrison —I suppose, my Lord, I can't ask him if be left that place honourably ? Witness—You may if you please—l'll answer it. Here the case for the prosecution closed. Mr. Harrison rose and said, -Here I stand before eon on another indictment for preaching. I have reason to believe that there are some things uttered in my preaching; that will not please smite people. I think differently front many. • But I never published my sentiments, and I : think that as a ft:ye ' horn Englishman I have a rieht to think as I please. This sermon was preached to procure It sttbseriptiiin for a Sunday School, as I always wish to do all eon in charity to toy•fel low creatures. I was asked to preach the sermon. it seats publicly placarded that the sermott was to he preached in aid-. of this satd, in which 600 children ate educated. I do not know the merits of the school, as toy Sutidays Are oceniii.a! preaehine. I am not here to eeny my preaching; it Ido wrong it is fer you to find use guilty. It I think lam right it is for me to justify myself if 1 cats. I look My text on that ceasion (tom Matthew vii. 12—" Therefore al/ things what soever ye would that men should do to you, du ye oven setao them; fun this is the law and the prophets." , , 'The connexion of oar text with the foregoing verse inti mates that, the more gOodness we expect frourGod, the more kind and disinterested we should be to our neighbour. - A. firm persuasion that our heavenly Father, will , give us all the good we need in answer' to 'prayer, will certainty excite our endeavours to promote the happineSS'olothers. The text goes upon the principle Of self-denial—appeals to the principle of self-love. - -applies it to our neigiilioar—anti insists in on it as the motive to infieence all our actions—and is similar to, "Thou shalt love thy neighbout'aS-thyself and is the demonstration of that text in action. .
