A too prevalent apioien of security on the part of my Friends induced many af them to abstain from toting during the three tiist days of the Eitction ; but the advantage I have this day obtained, and the great number of promises which yet re main unpuncd, fully justify me in relying on the ultimate triumph of out cause, which Is the cause of our country.

Had no motive for going but curiosity. Edmond Newton, examined by Bamford—Re sided at Mills Hill. Was a cotton weaver... Left his stick behind (having' first taken it our with him), on the.mot ning of the 16th, because it had been..desired on the preceding day that none of those gOitig to the meeting should take sticks, or any description of weapon, with them. Did not know of any being taken, ' or of any intention to take any weapon. He had set ont with his stick, in the first instance, to assist him by the way.

Those who formed titer procession were 'rely (pie( at first,' but they got throwing stones and Siff Its, and in the end buri.t down ome di his maatet's houses. Itt-examintil by Bamford—lt was about four years ago that the outrage described was commit ted. 'I here might not be so much said of ltt form at that time as had .been said of late.

At nine o'clock the proceed ings were resumed. On calling over the Jury one of them failed to answer to his name. Some delay occurred in consegnence. He however soon arrived, and having apologised for his absence on account of indisposition, the trial proceeded. Wm. Eason (examined by Bamford)—Was a farmer, residing at Chatterton. He was at _Mid sileton on the morning of the 16th, and described the assembly there to have been perfectly peace able, and to have heard Bamford address the peo ple, advising them to conduct themselves hi an orderly manner, and to molest no one ; and it any one came to take him, or any who might be callasl,l,o4l,ers, he iesired the multitude to sutTer them to be taken; for, said he, " what we have in view is a Reform, and let us pursue it peace ably." Witness described the distribution of the laurels. Saw nothing but what was peaceable. He went, and three children of his went also, two boys and a girl. By the JUDGE—He went as a spectator; his daughter was aged 17, the boys 14 and between 12 a n d 13 ;he went on to Manchester and Pe ter's-field. .Some of the party talking tumultu ously on the road, they were desired by some of those to whom the laurel had been given not to talk so loud.

She overtook the younger, took bin" by the hand, and went forward ; .she afterwards did the same by the other. She went on, and waited on. the road till Mr. Hunt came from Smedley Cottage. She went by a near way to Peter's-field with her childr e n. (Did not offer to get v er y nigh the hustings, on account of her two boys Stood by the side of a body of men that was formed in a line. These were istworn-in constables, whom she was not lowed to pass. Site stood there till Mr. Hunt came on the ground. A man, in black clothes, rode off from the body of the people. When he went off, the constables looked at one another and smiled, and one said "be should like to kick up the start just now." By the JUDGE—Did not see two men attempt to force their way to the crowd. Took the ex pression " Ki c k up the start" to mean that some thing was to be done to the crowd. Did not know that these words were heard by others.— Witness asked him (the Constable) " who it was that was like to kick up the start ?" He saw nobody lik e ly to d o i t un l ess i t were some of them. She saw a minute after the same man (in black) come back with the same speed with which he rode away. As he. came, the cavalry were coming behind. She then made the best of her way off with the children. She then thought that there was some danger. Saw no stones or brick bats thrown as they (the Yeomanry) came on the ground. , Did not. see them pass through 0,4 crowd. John Hampshire, examined by Mr. MOLT-..

Mr•. Hunt arrived; sail, Saxton writing on the hustings; he could tint have been there before witness, as he ieft him (Sasitnn)' at the Obierver Office, and went ditect ly to the hustings; didndt hear Saxton address the ,netting; could nut possibly have avoided hearing, hint if 'he had done sei; witnessstayed till the di;peision of the meeting.

The meeting increased between 12 and 1 o'clock ; heard a band playing ; what he supposed from the beat of the &urn, to be ' ' Godiaee the Ma g ."— The•beat of the drum in that tune is very pecu liar. The persons nearer than himself were un. covered. He asked it the tune was " God sase the - King ?" was answered, " yes," and replied, " lam happy to hear it." lie was statioutd about 25 yards from the left corner of the hust ings, rather in advance ; considered the meeting; to be complete, 11,11 d thought it the fins at sight 'Wet he bad ever seen, and was gratified at the good order of the Whole. He 'heard 'the speech of Mr. Hunt. lie (Mr. it) congratulated - the meeting that the effect of the meeting; previously called having been abandoned was the increasing the numbers of the proem meeting. He made t•oine re marks on the subject of a placard which had been issued, which he did not exactly het the hearing of. He thanked theiri tot having proPe sed . as their Chairman, dud hoped every person 'would keep the strictest outer; that . if person should •be seen attenving to 'disturb the peace, let those who were near him " put him down told keep him quiet." In a short time the cavalry arrived„ Witness was astonished at tire cireamstance, as well as his neighbours neat bins; but the grneral fee hog was, that they came to keep the.peace. The people gave three cheers, which he felt to be its pursuance of that ledii4g. , e military returned the cheers, and there was a expected things would continue in .at state tor some time.
