a number of persons . .rjaied by the Mine of at °allows. but none by the eats of the military. The groans and the shrieks he supposed proceeded from the pressure, and the pressure front the entlearaurs of the multitude to get front the field in consequence of the operations of the soldiers—in consequence of the appearance of the soldiers, and not from any act of theirs, certainly. Witness was pressed upon by the crowd, but was not geriounly hurt. No one attacked or cut at hits with a sword. lie bad no constable's staff that day; never told any body that be had ; never told tin) body that his hat was cut at that day, and that he saved himself from a second blow by holding up a coustatile's staff. lie hail never told any brother reporter, that on his producing n constable's staff, the soldier who that day cut at hint, said " you, why did yan not shave that before ?" lie never told that to any one. Had told some one that he wan comity;.; to York as a witness for the Crown, or against Mr. Hunt. He might have said either. Never told any one whets he got into the withess-hox, lie would do Hutt. loterrogated re spectiog a statene•rit, that " but for the humaility of Mr. Nadir]. who had been 3o grossly calumniated, it was certain that Hunt would out then have been alive, as sums of the military had declared that they would cut him (Hunt) to pieces." Witness admitted that he had written soar thing to that effect ; could not reeallect who laid hitn that fact ; some body had tab' bit e ea. He %Vas told to go between the time of the Meetting and twelve ii'cloels at night, hut by whom he could not rte./Meet. It sttitek willies+ as a very forcible thing, hot he could scared, believe it, hr sanifeesed. lie did not think it poesible. but had written that the fact Was certain, on the infOrmation which he had received. He put in the word " certain," not on his o wn account, but as the fact hail beta, related to bite. lie ems employed by the reoprietors of 7 1 / 4 ,- New Witness knew Dr. Stoddert ; one of therm was to tel<uion to hire. Upon a question front Mr. Hunt as to witares's knowledge of an indictment al:animist Dr. Stoitilart for a hliel, iireatte tiereone to aneassiiiate Mr. Hunt, wititese said he knew of Ire exatterice of an indictment of a libel, but nut for such a purpose as that charged by Mr. Hoot. Witness did not write the libel for winch his employer wan indicted.— The attention of witness was neat directed by the examiner tai a part of his letter from M .Itieliester, which read as fal laws ;—" This set etch, who tai Si often and so inrulently threatened, that in the hour of trial he would not be found ellinlkitig, but would be foremost to encounter danger, and to perish in the cause he had espoused t he who when no soldier was near, opened his breast and called oil tine soldiers to ' tire !'—tie hat did he now ? The grin of malice died away on his quivering lip, ; the colour ,forsook his sallow cheek ; Inc seemed ready to sink into the earth with fear, and he yielded at onceau the toad) Of a constable, 1.011 happy to feel himself under the protection of the lases, though it was hut as a cri 'Maid." ft aas true that Hunt had turned pale, but he (witness) had nothing to du v.ith the garnishing of the passage. Witness dared to say, that he himself might turn pale. Could nut say Abe made Hunt turn pair. His rale- Use occurred before the groans and shrieks were heard.— Wit tress saw some wounded; none carried away in carts, and did nut hear of arty. It was true that he (Hunt) had sur rendered at once tin the countable. It was rather a seizore than a surrender. He saw no resistance offered. Thought !font had been seized by Mr. Nadin, but did not speak posi tively, as he himself was Ulm] bring driven off the field. Saw part of the Yeomanry go to the back of the hustings. Saw nobody wounded. Did not see Nadi,' seize Hunt. Saw hint seize Johnson by the legs - , and perceived him about to seize Hunt, (as he supposed), when he (witness) was obliged to take hie eyes front the hustings, and when he looked Tumid again, Fiala was in custody. By Bamford—Received information occasionally from Mr. at the Manchester Police Office; he had that confi dence in Mr. Nadin, that infarmatioil obtained. from his was, in his opinion, of sufficient impurtance to induce hint to send it off by express to London. It was not Irons Mr. Nadin that he received information of the intention of the military to cut Mr. Hunt to pieces ; had received no information from Mr. Milne ; had been with Mr. Cowper, the accountant, at his own house, and in the street; the information ire ques tion he had nut obtaitied from him; he did not communi cate to Mr. Hunt that there had been an intention to assassi nate hint. By Swift—Witness never saw him (Swift) before the Man chester Meeting. He referred to hint (Swift) where be stat ed sonic one to have addressed the people, exhorting them to abstain from violence, to show their enemies they were not mad. Ite-extemined by Mr. Scarterrr—Did not know of an indict ment for tiny libel exciting any body to murder Mr. Hunt ; he knew that there was an indictment, and that it charged Dr. S.. with private malice; hr rather thonglit that the libel related to what took place between Mr. Hunt and Mr. Dowl ing at the Westminster Election; had seen no article in the Sew Time, to encourage persons to murder Mr. Hunt; could take upon himself to say, that none such had appeared.— Witness did clot, when at St. Peter's-field, remain ur one place all the time of the meeting ; he had left the meeting and re turned; other persons than those Ire had named might h are 'pollsters iu the course of the day; he gent to the Arrow Time: an account of what he had seen, and of what he had been t o ld that he thought entitled to credit;"had never used the expres sions imputed to trim in coliversatiun with Mr. Tyas or Mr. Fitzpatrick; at the time witness described John Tyas to be one of the delinquents he did not know him to Inc merely a Reporter from a London Newspaper ; Ire bad never seen air. Tyas before the Hirt) of August. ' James Platt examined by Mr. Serjeant FluLtoex—was police-officer of Manchester; was at St. Peter's-field on the morning of the ltah August ; saw Healey there at the head of a party who approached by Peter-'street; -Healey went in or on to the cart that was there ; he, thought he saw him in the act of addressing the people; the party drew up round the cart; described the taming of 'sir. Hunt with another party; saw Baiiiford on tine hustings: Cross-examined by 13ainford—Saw him (Mr. Bamford) on the hustings, after the arrival of Mr. Hunt, shouting and waving his hat; thotight the shouts to be one of defiance to the constables rather than - of joy ; had seen many public meetings ' but never one like that on the 161 h August. Wit ness had been brought up to the fustian trade; had since been a Gentlieutti's servant, bad been to the Bank of Eng land with infortnation* about forged notes; was never ac cused of passing any. • Thomas Hardtnan gave evidence astotheaprecantions taken against the Cavalry, the military order in which the divisions advanced, with their sticks, shouldered like muskets. Ilan% in eross-examining hint, allied, as be had accompanied Mr. Hay to London, whether he gave the same information to Government ? This question was at first objected to, but ai r . Justice Bailey ruled that it ought to be answered. Joseph Green !lewd orders given to the people to stand six yards from the hustings, otherwise they would give their ene mies an opportunity of rushing in with their cavalry and their corruption. He also corroborated the evidence of tine other witnesses respecting the military order, .Sic. oilserved tin the occasion. John Ellis, bookseller, in Manchester, -gave ceidenee to the same effect. . William Hutton, Esq. a Magistrate of Manchester, was exa mined by Mr. Scaneerr—ls a Magistrate of the cnonty of Lancaster, was . at Manchester on the 16th; the Magistrates met brat at the Star Inn ; from thence they proceeded to the house of a Mr. Button, from whence they might See the meeting; went there between ten and eleven; he took de positions, and also took an opportunity of seeing what passed; as Chairman of the two counties, Inc • was mach engaged writing ; went once to the window, and sass large bodies of men corning from' various quarters; the first column be ob served Caine with music, banners, and apparently divided into sectiuns, with persons who marched by their side, and wino from time to time gave words of command. The other bodies were at too great a distance for him to hear. They ap pruached in a most remarkable wanner; they did not march straight up to the • hustings, but wheeled upon receiv ing the word of command; generally the heads of the culunuts atilt tip to the hustings, do posited their colours there, and in doing Sr., were always met by the buzzas 'of those who 'had pit riously - arrived; having deposited the colours, they retired, he believed, to a particular circle round the Hustings, to allow the others to approach with more ease ; they were beautifully exact in corning up to the Hust• lags ; could nut (Abseil ce the last eulumn that came wit h Hutt ; but that which canine from rke other side of St. Peter's field from Nlasley-street advaticed with particular precision ; this Lot, he thought, was in number 4 or i 000; there was music, but he heard no drums. Witness particularly ob served the approach of the burly in which Hunt was: observ ed the carriage; heard the persons in it were. Hunt, John son, Carlile, and lalourliou,e; the noise made when Hunt arrived fiat drew Liar to the window; the Magistrates wished to form a line of eutostishies from where they were to the Hustings; sane distinctly persone in the attitude of addressing on the Hustings ; Helot was attelided by im mense nowhere ; could see the whole of the area, wilt the exception of one corner; could nut form a conjec ture himself as to the numbers present; IlerCr saw SO gre,tt a crowd ; those who calculated and 111011 M -tit the space, estimated them front fifty to sixty thousand; they were va riously estimated; in hie judgment the crowii was calculated to inspire, and did inspire, fear into the town of Msaue j TRIAL OF MR. HUNT AND OTHERS. TIIIRD DAY.—(Cnncludeci.) Henry Orion's Evidence concluded front yesterday's Paper. Cross-examined by Mr. Hunt—Had attended the Meeting for no purpose, but to report the proceedings to One of the London Papers. The account that had appeared of the Meet ing was his. He did not swear that it was his, verbatim, but it was to the same effect as the account which he had sent. It was not usual to doctor-up reports in the shop, or to alter the tenor of what was sent, though in some a change might he made in the language, and errors arising from the hurry of writing corrected. Witness had no other occupation than that of corresponding with the London and Country Newspa pers. Had no business at Manchester but that which was connected with the meeting. He had arrived in Manchester ON the Saturday night preceding the 16th of August. lie sent for accounts which appeared in the New Times in the course of the following week. He wished the Police to obtain infor mation, but never to give any; he had given none at all; he had never been employed by MC. Milne, nor by the Solicitor to the treasury; he had never heen scot to Halifax, nor had he ever been there hilt as he ps , sed tlnautgh on his way to Yorh; he had communicated wills no London Newspaper but one ; some articles had been communicated to the Paper he was connected with by another Correspondent at Manches• ter, but by whom he did not know ; h had written but that which came under his own rye, or svuj brought under his own knowledge. His article was not utade up front the Ite• ports of his brother Reporters. He had sustained no injory from being one of Mr. Hunt's lockees ; no attempt had keen made to pull fro n t his hack the coat he had on. On retiring froM the Meeting, be wrote an account of the procuedings immediottly, hut omitted, i,i the hurry of the moment, the word; of Mr. limit, " put him down, and keep him down." The account was written immediately, and sent, without being read over, by ait express to town. lie left that part of the speech out in his haste. Subsequently, he sat down and wrote, from recollection, what had passed. Did not know, till the Paper reached Manchester, that he had omitted the words in question. It was not his practice, in a common way, to omit things of importance, and send trivial matters to his employers. He recollected the words before he saw them in any Newspaper, and on the very day of the Meeting. Did not tend to correct the report, from the pressure of other matters of itnliortance. It certainly did not strike the witness, on bearing the words referred to, that Mr. Hunt had wished any , persons to be put to death. Did not know that what he had said of some persons saying sumethin about killing was not e%idence. The expressions which had been used by Mr. Hunt did Hot refer to the military. Witness was very near Mr. ;runt at that time ; did not see him point to any one at that time; had be pointed to the soldiers, and said to the people, "• There are your enemies ; put them down, and keep them down," witness must most certainly have heard it. Witness bad not his original notes with him. He lost the notes taken on the field on the day of the Meeting; he wrote from them the account he sent to London; he lost them in the office of Mr. Retty, Solicitor, in Manchester, where he bad written ; could not find them afterward:,; bad not brought down the original manuscript that he had sent to the New Times; did not know that that was lost; did not refresh his memory br refet rat• to his manuscript, because he could do that by referring to the printed account, which did not differ in effect, in any fact, from the manuscript; did not hear or are Mr. Huht in the course of the day say or do aught to encou rat.,:e the people to commit acts of violence. Here lfr. Hunt handed to the witness rt London Morning Paper of the 18th August, 1819, and referred him to the fol lowing passages;--" It was within a few minutes of one o'clock when Hunt reached the hustings. He w•as said to be accompanied by Wooler, but I could nut see the Black Dwarf, nor do I believe he was there ; but Johnson, Mourhouse, Saxt•n, Swift, and Tyas, were in the barouche, on the box of which was seated a profligate amazon, named Mary Water worth, bearing the standard of the Stockport Female Reim mers." Witness could not swear to the truth of this state ment. He•had asked the names of the persons who came with Mr. Hunt, and was told that they were what he had written. He was told that Tyas was one of the persons. He did not know Tyas at that time. He could not swear that Saxton veal one of them. Ile had written from information, what he had received at the time. He did nut recollect see ing Saxton on the hinting.. The name of the female he had obtained, at he did the other names. Be was not told that was a profligate female. He put that word himself, and thought her appearance justified the application of it. Never saw a lady present colours at the head of A regiment. Thought the word he had used justified by the circumstances ut the case. Mr. Hunt next directed witness's attention to the follow• ing sentences in the same publication:— .4 The soldiers advanced and surrounded the hustings, when Mr. Nadirs, with the utmost resolution, seised hold of John son first, then of Hunt, and afterwards of several others, whom he handed to hie assistants, and the latter carried them all to the New I3ailey. The bansters were the next objects to which the police officers directed their attention, and with very little resistance they gut possession of the whole of them. The scene that now ensued was truly awful ; the shrieks of women and the groans of men were to be heard at some dis tance. Every person who had attended out sof curiosity, finding his personal safety at risk, immediately fled; and where was then the boasted courage of these mad-headed Reformers? They were seen retreating in all directions with the utmost speed. The crush was so great in one part of the Geld that it knocked down some out-buildirgs at the end of a row of houses, where there were at least twenty or thirty persons, with an immerse crash. As I was carried along by the crowd, I saw seretal almost buried in the ruins, while others, in their anxiety to escape, had unfortunately fallen down, and were trampled on by the populace, many of them to death. A feeling of suave que peat appeared now to fill the mind of avery body, and the result is nut yet known. The Yeomanry Cavalry arrived on the ground at full speed. They took their position under the wall of The Cottage,' a well known building so called, where they remained in line about five minutes, during which time I believe the Riot Act was read, inintedir.tily after which they took Mr. Hunt into custody, in the manner I have already stated. file Yeomanry were sup ported by the 15111 Hussars. Among the Spulics Opizna, they say, are to he reckoned sixteen banners with seditious in sc. iptious, and six caps of Jacubinism. The caps of Jacuhi ni.ni were red caps of Liberty, inscribed Henry Hunt, Esq. The cop Wai more jacohioical than the motto. 13oth the co lour and the shape led witness to give them that name. Had lo,i;ed over that hall; if he did so, and saw asap of liber ty, be should call it a lacobinical emblem, if it were carried as thasa ware which Lad beers seen at Manchester.
