In the next ease referred to an action was brought againt the military. The Learned Judge said, " If they acted on a warrant they were themselves under the circumstances of the ease justi fied ; in truth, these persons would be entitled to their acquittal, acting as they dil in pursuance of the warrant, although the parties granting the warrant might not." The next ease referred to conspiracy, and in support of the plea evidence was required a; to whether a person felt any alarm during the proceedings of the meeting. He was asked whether he would go with these persons to get a big loaf for a little one. He said they would have reform in Parliament, and make their way to Landon to effect that purpose; and that they would make use of the property of anybodyrowadh.o h A a b d ou p t ro m per o ty r thonesethpeeirrsomnasrcphrocded t as ee they went Evidence was also given by a person who signed a paper which o nthe he sent to the magistrates, expressing the terror and alarm which he experienced in consequence of those parties meeting for drill. It was also proved in evidence (page 96) that im pressions of terror and alarm were made on the inhabi tants by a meeting at which Hunt presided. la page 99 of the charge it is said—" Ia one of these counts drillings are alleged, which are stated to be clandestine, but whe ther they are clandestine or not I give no opinion ; but if done for the purpose of overawing the Government, or ex citing tumult or resistance to the citil power, they would be unlawful. It is also alleged that divers of those persons assembled unlawfully, armed with stones and various weapons to carry out this conspirocy." In page 102, he says—" If they came armed, so as to terrify other per sons, that in itself would be an unlawful assembly." His Lordship then referred to the memorable case of Lord George Gordon, and the vast meeting of people in St. George's-fields, and said—" There were called toge ther an immense number of persons in St. George's-fields. (Kennett was then Lord 'Mayor of London.) They met for the ostensibly legal purpose of petitioning Parliament not to re peal the Acts passed in favour of Roman Catholics. Lord Gordon went -with their petition to She: House of Commons. They accompanied- him there. There was nothing amiss in that"-70,000 or 80,000 people meeting in London, and speeches being made in a very vehement, if not in a very vio lent manner, and then going en masse to the House of Com mons, was not amiss—" except it was indiscreet, because it had the appearance of being tue.ultuous ; and if they were net satisfied with the result, some of them might break forth into acts of violence." They were not satisfied; they broke out, and we know the result—confusion in London for an immense number of days. He (Mr. White side) would not trouble their Lordships by stating the judgment of the Court on the matter of drill ing. In the case of the King v. Hunt, 3d Barnewall and Alderson, the parties were indicted for a conspiracy. The evidence was not given in the Report ; but the result was given, which was that the accused were acquitted of the con spiracy, bat found guilty of being at an illegal assembly. He (Mr. Whiteside) had procured a report of the evidence, with the view of showing on what evidence the Court and jury came to such a conclusion. The Learned Gentleman then produced a history of the life of Henry Hunt, which contained an ac count of his trial, from which he (Mr. W.) read the evidence of several witnesses examined for the prosecution. The evi dence was to this effect—that a meeting was held in Spital fields, London, at which a series of resolutions were adopted. The first of these was, that if the grievances of the people were not redressed within a given day, and the Parliament re formed, they (the persons composing the meeting) would be all released from their allegiance. That Mr. Hunt pre sided at that meeting, and afterwards at a meeting in Man chester, at which the same resolution was proposed and carried. It was also resolved that they should meet together to elect re presentatives for Manchester. They did so without any writ from the Crown, and the magistrates declared that meeting illegal. On the night of the 14th of August, 1819, they met on White Moss, where they were drilled. Two policemen were present, and having been discovered were severely beaten, but their lives were spared on their promising never to be King's men again, and never to name the King's name during their lives. On the morning of the 16th they met in Man chester. They came to the place of meeting with flags and banners, marching in military array, with sound of bugle, &c. Threats of making a Moscow et Manchester were heard. Several mottos of a seditious character were inscribed on their banners, and great terror and alarm was ex cited. A controversy arose on the trial as to how far all the persons at the meeting were affected by the inscriptions on the banners. Justice Bayley, who charged the jury, ob served on this point—" With respect to the banners, these only who showed that they were favourable to any motto in scribed on them by carrying them, or immediately marching under them, could be considered as I:able to any . penalty which the illegal nature of any the inscriptions might warrant." He (Mr. Whiteside) called particular attention to that part of the charge, because in the present case evidence was adduced of In arch that was erected, on which was a motto, and that motto was brought forward as evidence of the illegal intentions of persons going to that assembly. Having commented with severity ma the resolutions passed at the meetings at Spital fields, the case went to the jury ; and on that charge and those facts they acquitted the defendants of the crime of conspiracy, and found them guilty of attending an unlawful assembly. The Learned Gentleman next referred to the case of the Queen v. Vincent, 9 Carrington and Payne, p. 91, a case which the Attorney-General did not cite. The CHIEF JUSTICE—He did. Mr. WHITESIDE said it was another case of the same na ture in the same book. In this case the defendants were charged, Li fi e i s fo t, r . w n it u h nla h w a f v . in l g pur c po om se hin T ed he li charged ciousl y secondtogether count rm n a t them with having assembled in immense numbers, armed with weapons ; and with having caused great terror and alarm to the peaceable and well-disposed subjects of her Majesty, for the unlawful and seditious purpose of offering unlawful and seditious opposition to the Government aed Constitution, and would remain undisturbed. But suppose twelve hundred or twelve thousand such men met and passed similar resolutions, the Minister would begin to look about him—would see that th• public mind was stirred, and would consent to discuss remon strances which he had hitherto treated with contempt. A meeting of twelve thousand such men would produce important results ; and yet no man, no legal officer of the Crown, would THREE SUPPLE ME NTS BA AT I S, WITH THE D I S P A TCH, ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE COLUMNS, . „ dare to treat them as conspirators. They would not be con sidered conspirators even if ono of their number spoke rashly, or if the incendiary or the spy should have been among them uttering treason and sedition. Now, the humbler classes of :o- Equal to an Octavo Volume of Six Hundred rages, containing THE WHOLE OF THE GREAT TRIAL IN DUBLIN. • ciety had the same right to Meet and discuss their grievances as persons in therank of the gentlemen of the jury, but the opinions of the men of the multitude were not equivalent in individual im portance, and therefore they were obliged to make up the deficiency of moral force by superior numbers. But then, if meetings of those classes, however numerous, were more orderly than the House of Commons—although, as that august body was now sitting, he must not allude to it—(A laagh ) if the English reporters were astonished at the pa. liteness of Irish mariners—at the moderation of the savages who occupied this portion of the United Kingdom, then the meetings were as legal as any that might be formed of their more elevated fellow-subjects. He would now call the at tention of the jury to some meetings which had been held in England—held under the nose of the Attorney-General, and at the door of the Prime Minister. The first meeting to which he should allude was that which had been mentioned by Mr. Ross, the Crown witness. It was attended by two hundred thousand of the lower classes—for it would be an insult to call them rabble—and was met for the purpose of discussing the severe sentence which had been passed on the Dorsetshire labourers. Mr. Ross stated that he never had seen such ameeting—a small party of 200,000 men, march ing in procession to the Prime Minister's office, with a petition w►ich it took twenty men to lilt, on the subject of a sentence which had been pronounced by one of the Judges of the land ! How was that meeting headed? By a clergyman of the Esta blished Church, dressed in his sacred robes. He (the Learned Counsel) mentioned +his fact, because one of the charges against Mr. O'Connell was, that he attended a meeting in his red robe of office. Now he (the Learned Counsel) thought that that fact should be taken as an indication of Mr. O'Connell's SHELL'S SPEECH WILL BR CONTAINED IN THE FIRST SUPPLEMENT, TO-MORROW, FEB. 4, 1844. 8 . 1 Orders received by all Newsvenders and Booksellers, and by 111 r. Wood, at the Office, 139, Fleet-street. wish to preserve peace and order. No man in office would, if bent on disturbance, go to a meeting decked in the insignia of authority ; he was sure that if their Lordships—with re spect be it spoken—should ever feel inclined to encourage riot, they would never do so decked in the judicial ermine.— ( Loud laughter.) But the meeting to which he had alluded marched through the streets of London, end he would read to the jury some account of its proceedings. ( The Learned Coun sel here read reports from the London papers of the meeting, and other great meetings held in England, and then proceeded.) lie would now draw their attention to the way in which the Evening Mail spoke of the great meeting at Hillsborough, at which 75,000 men attended. The people who appeared at that meeting were called " the bravo men of the North." Ile liked them to be called so, f•r they were a brave body of men. They travelled many miles to attend the meeting at Hillsborough, and they assembled at that meetinc , in such numbers for the purpose of declaring that by physical force " the union should be main tained, and that they would resist its repeal with their lives and fortunes." And did they think that if these 75,000 men met again for the self-same purpose, and exhibited the same bold and determined front, that the Attorney and Soli citor-Generals would not be very mu"h obliged to them?—( A laugh.) Did they think that if these men met sgain, and expressed their determination, not only to uphold the union, but to support the Government in the prosecution of those who southt to repeal that measure, that the Attorney-Gene ral would not be most gratified? Did they think that they would not hear from the Attorney-General the expression of his thanks to these brave men of the north for the honour they had conferred on himself individually, and upon the Government whose unworthy servant he was—(Laughter) for having, by the demonstration of physical force, expressed their determination to uphold the Church and State, and maintain the sacred institutions of the country?—(Laughter.) There was not one of those 75,000 men that could not handle a gun ably and well, and the Attorney-General, at the bottom of his heart was glad of it; and could they doubt that if these 75,000 well-armed and well-disciplined men had met and declared that the union between this country and England was a grievance and must be repealed—did they doubt, he would aak, that as Act repealing the union might not, in a very short space of time, be the law of the land? But they did meet in " border fashion," and they declared they were ready to uphold the union; and with the view of giving cou t age to the Queen's Ministers to oppose the repeal of that mea sure, they stated their determination of being ready to sustain them with their lives and fortunes. If that had been a meeting composed of 500 persons, of what value would such a declaration have been? If it were a meeting of 5,000, or of even 15,000, its value would be doubtful, as re- garded this expression of feeling in favour of the Government; but it was of the first consequence when it came from a well organised body, such as the 75,000 men who met at Hills borough. No doubt the Learned Solicitor-General would endeavour to draw a difference between the meeting at Hills borough and those which took place at Tara at Mullaghmast ; but he was sure that twelve high-minded and honourable men would not allow paltry, personal, or political considerations, to influence them when they were called upon to give their opinion as to the character of these respective meetings. He would now direct their attention to the evidence which had been given in respect to the several repeal meetings. The wit nesses examined were chiefly policemen, and one or two magis trates ; and yet every one of them admitted that peace and order prevailed at all the meetings ; and this, if it had been necessary, could have been fully established with hundreds of witnesses for the defence. And here, he might observe, that there was not one witness who was able to say that these meetings pro duced the slightest fear or annoyance to either the resident gentry, the merchants, or the traders who resided in the localities where they took place. In fact, all, from east to west, was order and perfect tranquillity. But the Learned Attorney-General contended that the more quiet the meetings, the more criminal—(a laugh)—so that if the question which they had to try was the insanity of an individual, the best evidence, according to the dictum of the Learned Attorney- General, that could be given in support of it, would be to show that the party bad always acted in a perfectly sensible and correct manner, and that in truth his intellect was wholly and entirely unclouded.—( A laugh.) If those men who assembled at the meetings in question had been drunk, and if they had broken each other's heads, why that would have been all right. It would have been the good old fashion and system by which heretofore Irishmen settled their differences ; but the moment they lay aside their national characteristics, and soberly and steadily meet in large numbers to obtain a great object, then down comes the At torney-General and immediately calls for Coke and Hale to see if he cannot out of this peaceable and orderly proceeding make out something that will ensure a conviction for conspiracy, and this he is to do by means of the gentleman with the seissors—( A laugh)—and then by stringing this speech and that together so involve both speakers and journalists in one common crime as will completely overwhelm them, and pre vent them from appearing at a meeting for the future. It would be absurd to present petitions of the meetings held in August to the House of Commons, when perhaps there might not be thirty persons present—they were, therefore, necessarily reserved until such an impression might be made by an accumulated mass, as well as by the number and variety of the signatures, as could not fail to make an impression on the understanding and feeling of Parliament. Now as to the Mullaghmast meeting—and here he would ask, was it a lawful or unlawful meeting? What was the test to try the legality or illegality of a meeting ? They would say, no doubt, :that it was to be tested by the acts of the speakers— by the speeches made—by the general conduct of those assembled—whether they had separated quietly, and whether they returned to their homes peaceably. It was the duty of the jury to look at those features, and look at them with the eye of charity—to look at them as freemen, anxious for the rights and privileges of freemen. They were not to view things with the critical eye of a lawyer—they were not to find men guilty who assembled for a peaceable purpose ; nor were they to be looking for something different from what really appeared. Would the great meeting at Hillsborough, at which the Marquis of Downshire and other noblemen and in fluential persons attended, be deemed illegal because some ob scure criminal, a spy, an incendiary, went there—some ballad seller from Belfast, to sell and circulate treason or slander ? Surely it would not. Such was the case of the Mullaghmast meeting. Did Mr. O'Connell, or any other of the tra versers, cause to be published, printed, or circulated, the do cument which was produced in Court, and received in evidence? They did not. They had produced on the table here the printer who had published everything for the Association, and he brought with him the only large placard which was pub lished for the Mullaghmast meeting, and which they directed to be printed, and for which he was paid. Were, then, the traverser& to be tried, sentenced, and condemned, upon the act of a man whom even the police did not know—who cir culated a document giving a description of something which occurred, no one knew when or where—a document received evtdcr.cc to prove tl,e, common pies set forth in the indict ment—as evidence of a common union to promote a com mon object—to promote and effect a preconcerted plan? And yet there was not one particle of evidence pro duced to prove that the paper was printed by the Associa tion, or by their direction. Why did not the Attorney-Gene -1 ral produce the man who printed that scandalous and wicked document? Why bring forward a document not proved by its printer? Why keep back his name? And were the jury to fasten the guilt of such a man upon the traversers— te fasten upon them a lying, slanderous document, which they never saw? He complained, then, of keeping back such a witness, and which the Attorney-General should have pro duced. It was not their business to criminate themselves, nor should it be done by any party but by clear and unequi vocal proof; and although that piece of evidence was received by the Court, it should net be received by the jury, unless it was proved that it was part of a common, a preconcerted plan ; for he would lay it down as law, that if that document was even the act of one of the eight traversers, it should not be received as evidence against the others, unless they believed it was, by the assent and consent of all, a part of a precon certed plan. The Court adjourned for refreshment, for a few minutes. At five minutes past two the Court sat again, and Mr. WWITESIDE resumed his address.—Mr. Fitgibbon had given a full statement of what might be considered the best passages of Mr. O'Connell's speeches, and he (Mr. Whiteside) would now take a view of what might be considered the worst. Many of those speeches had not been given in evidence, but the nature of the indictment was such that the prosecution were enabled to put in a vast number of papers containing reports of speeches, and the jury had to distinguish between those that were proved and those that were not. It was also well known that many speeches were reported which never had been delivered—particularly in the way of poetic ex tracts which the speaker never uttered, but which some times found their way into the written speech. In one of those reported addresses Mr. O'Connell was represented as alluding to the battle of the Boyne, and defeat of the Irish people there. It was singular enough that Sir Walter Scott, in alluding, on one occasion, to the battles of his coun • trymen in " flood and field," admonished the Scots not to fall into the mistake of their ancestors, but to be steady, firm, and united, in their moral agitation, and not to be divided and wavering as their ancestors were in their physical conflicts. This was precisely the meaning of Mr. O'Connell's allusion to the battle of the Boyce. He encouraged the people to firm ness in the political struggle in which they were engaged, by a reference to historical facts. His language plainly meant no thing more nor less than this—" By their want of perseverance your ancestors lost the memorable battle of the Boyne; in the constitutional struggle in which you are engaged, be me the you preserve perseverance and unity, and you will to the terror and alarm of the subjects of the Queen. Another count charged them with assembling with clubs, &c. The 12th count charges them with being at an unlawful assembly ; and the 13th for a riot. He wanted to show that, in this case the same result followed, and that those counts which were not found in the present indictment were those on which, according to the authority of the Learned Judge and the finding of the jury, a verdict was had. The Learned Gentle man then read portions of the evidence given in the case of the Queen v. Vincent, to show that violent language had been used at a public meeting at which the defendants were present, and that the inhabitants were put into a state of great terror and alarm. Vincent, in his speech, had described the system of Government as cannibal and atrocious—that it doomed men, women, and children to toil in factories, in starvation, and nakedness, to increase the wealth of the aristocracy. The snowball of Chartism was increasing in size, and he called on the people of Newport to roll it down on their oppressors and crush them. He had also threatened the magistrates with violence, and wanted to purchase a large quantity of arms—muskets, cutlasses, pistols, &c.—from a commercial traveller, named Johnson. Baron Alderson said that any meeting assembled under such circumstances, or likely to produce danger to the tranquility of the neighbourhood, was an unlawful assembly. He then alluded to the petition to obtain the five points of the Charter, which points went to a length that sensible persons would think inconsistent with the Constitution of the country. Gentlemen, nothing is more unfair than to take a part of a speech without taking the whole. In doing so you will be unable to judge justly, for there may be many pas sages which modify others, and change the entire meaning of a sentence. " God be thanked," said the Learned Judge who presided over the Chartist trials, "that the Constitution does not forbid men to meet peaceably to petition the Queen. It is the inalienable right of the subject, and surely it is not now to be usurped." It is not evidence to be given against a man for a conspiracy, namely, that he attended a meeting, if that meet ing be not illegal. Neither are the acts of another who may have been gailty of violence to be offered in evidence against a man for attending a legal meeting. He is not accountable for such acts, and cannot be made so. Nor is it evidence of a conspiracy that a number of persons propounded the same doc trines for the accomplishment of the same object. You must convict them of one and the same conspiracy, and of one and the same act—in different counts, if you will—but it taint be proved that they have combined to effect an illegal act, or a legal act by illegal means. On the banners which the Man chester rioters bore before them was inscribed—" Englishmen, the blood of your brothers reddens the streets of Preston, and the murderers thirst for more ;" and on another banner was in culcated the observation of peace, law, and order ; but it was decided that such an inculcation was absurd, as their acts were to be evidence of their intentions, and their acts did not correspond with the words which expressed those intentions. Let us see, before we go further, what you are to find the party guilty of. Is it that they have agreed together for the furtherance of a common object? No. But that they con federated and conspired, by a complete union of purvey), and a premeditated plan, to do any of those acts charged in the in dictment. Judge PERRIN—Yon don't mean to say that they must find them guilty of every overt act ? Mr. WinTesinE—No, my Lord. Judge PERRIN—I was afraid that the jury might misunder stand you, Mr. Whiteside, Mr. WHITESIDE—I thank you, my Lord. I say that they must find them guilty of the whole of the conspiracy, and that these acts were the result of a fixed and settled confederation. Judge Bo RTON—Is that report of the Chartist trials authen ticated ? Mr. WHITESIDE—It has been published, my Lord, by Mr. Feargus O'Connor. He says that he is quite satisfied that he has been tried by law, and punished by law. The report was taken in short-hand. There has been no evidence pro duced that the acts charged were done in accordance with a previously-arranged plan. My client, Mr. Duffy wished to accomplish the repeal of the Act of Union, which I need not tell you is a perfectly legal Act, for no one Parliament can make a law which another cannot repeal--otherwise the Legislature would be cramped, and posterity would be bound by a number of unjust and oppressive laws. The act of Mr. Duffy is re ceived in evidence, because he is on trial. But if my client agrees with a party for a legal purpose, aided by legal means, he is not accountable for the intemperate conduct of others who are not on their trial, nor is that conduct evidence of guilt. Would the meeting at Trim have been less illegal if a thousand persons more or less had stayed away , and contented Coul t d ho i u t sa l n l was illegal? t sp h aei e rd m s a nt ! sa l , v t ead i He t d h i lb r s e yb a o d Lr wing oorudg h t h D e mo s we p en e t e si h e n h igr e e s o a i fn t 1 seventy-fivepoemr s e o n To agitate for a repeal of the union was perfectly leg al, and, therefore, the numbers who attended meetings for effecting that object were only important is so far as they gave alarm to peaceable persons living in the vicinity of the several places of meeting. The meetings mentioned in the indictment had excited no alarm; and he would ask, was the Solicitor-General prepared to affirm the monstrous doctrine which had been laid down by his Learned Colleague,that the more perfect the tranquillity which prevailed at a meeting, the more dangerous was its character—the more they form the determination not to break the law, the more palpable the indications of crime and conspiracy ? He (the Learned Counsel) would say, that meetings of such a nature were always disliked by Kings and their Ministers ; for men born to command disliked the voice of the people when raised in murmur and complaint. Such sounds disturbed the tranquillity of a Court ; and Ministers of the Crown, ex cept when they could make popular ferment a stepping stone to power, disliked meetings called to complain of grievances. Such meetings were always unheeded, ex cept when imposing in character and appearance. Sup pose the twelve gentlemen he bad then the honour to address met to discuss a fiscal grievance—suppose they passed strong resolutions, their resolutions and their meeting would pass unheeded—they would wither under the silent contempt of the press, and the Minister's slumbers EASE IN WALKING. %v BADDELEY, of 130, STRAND, is in duced to give publicity to his much-admired PRE PARED LEATHER (so noted for extreme SOFTNESS and DURABILITY), in consequence of the patronage he has received, and the generahcatisfaction given by him in manu facturing the above into BOOTS, &c., on his peculiar fitting principle of combining elegance with ease.

D ANGERO US FREAK.— About two o'clock on Tues day morning, two persons on horseback galloped at a most furious pace up the Waterloo-road, towards the bridge. To arrive at the bridge first appeared the object of contention, or probably to see who would get through the gate first. One succeeded in passing through the south-west gate, which was open, but the south-east gate being closed, the other horseman dashed the poor animal against the gate with such force as not only to break one of the horse's legs, but abso lutely to force down the gate, snapping asunder the iron hinges and the bolt. Fortunately the reckless riders both escaped unhurt, but the poor animal was found to be so much injured that it was found necessary to kill it. The riders were taken to the police-station in 'rower-street, and gave their names and address, from which it appeared they were two tradesmen moving in a respectable sphere of life, and having become inebriated had thus wantonly indulged in this illy and dangerous freak. 130TANICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—The ordinary meeting of this Society was held last evening, Adam Gerard, Esq., in the chair.

If that peculiar crime, as it was explained and described on the face of the indictment, be not clearly and distinctly proved, no matter what might be the ot'aer supposed offences of the traversers—no matter what miglet be, even by possibility, suggested that they might be guilty of—they would be bound to acquit them of the present indictment. To find men guilty of one charge because it may be sittnised that, by pos sibility, they may be accused or guilty of another, would be to violate the law—to violate the justice of the case—from the strict line of that duty they (the jury) were not to swerve. He would say it with deference that they were not to re member any one word which was spoken or written by the traversers, or by any one of them, which was not proved in the indictment against them on the present occasion. The crime of which the traversers was accused was that of a conspiracy. In the proper acceptation of that word there was nothing criminal in it—it simply meant having one speech —that there was one prevailing idea, and that of com mon consent among men, for the accomplishment of a common object—but a community of sentiment on political, subjects was not criminal. Associations existed in the present day, literary, scientific, religious, and benevolent—the object of all was to accomplish a given end, and for this they concen trate their opinions and strength, that they might bring them to bear on a particular or a common object—and which otherwise they never could accomplish. Governments, it was well known, were always biassed against, and adverse to, popular movements—they were always repugnant to change —so that very great efforts—a great concentration of opinion was necessary to obtain from them that which parties might regard as beneficial. It was by such means that the wisest reforms were effected , and the grandest trumplis in humanity were accomplished, and the most righteous and wisest projects had been achieved. In ordinary cases, where men are charged with particular crimes, they are to be proved guilty by what they themselves had done ; and the evidence by which they were to be convicted was to be strict and rigid, and the facts prescribed were to be all prescribed by law. But, as was seen in this crime of conspiracy, one man is affected not by what he has done himself—not by what he has spoken himself—not by what he has committed himself, but by what others may have done or spoken—that is, some may suffer not the consequences of their own acts or of their own speeches, but they may suffer the consequences of the conduct of others. That men should suffer the consequences of their own conduct was natural and right, because a man can control either his own language or his own conduct; bat it was difficalt to understand why persons should be held responsible for the acts of others over whose movements they could have no control—whose tongues they can neither silence nor check — over whose actions they have neither authority nor power. If in ordinary eases that ob servation was founded in good sense, it was of more weight when applied to the charge of political conspiracy. It was, therefore, necessary for the jury to be on their guard ; for why should the incautious language, or the improper actions of one man be visited on another, because that the other man may happen to be an obnoxious individual ? The traversers were accnsed of having conspired to excite discontent and disaffection among her Majesty's subjects. He should have occasion to comment on every part of the indictment. The terms of that indictment were, " that the ac cused had devised to raise and create discontent and disaffec tion amongst the liege subjects of the Queen, to promote feeling' of towards her Majesty's subjects in England, to excite disaffection in the army, and to cause large meet ings to be held for the unlawful purpose of obtaining, by means of the intimidation to be thereby caused—by means of the demonstration of great physical force at such assemblies, to bring into hatred and disrepute the Courts of Law established in Ireland, with the intent to induce her Majesty's subjects to withdraw the adjudication of their differences with, and claims upon, each other from the cognizance of the said Courts of Law established, and to submit the same to the judgment and determinion of other tribunals to be consti tuted and contrived fur that purpose." Now, it was that single crime of conspiracy that the jury had to try—they were to ascertain whether the accused were guilty of having entered into a conspiracy to do the precise acts, the very speci fied things desctibed.na ;. 'hat most extraordi nary, unprecedented, and unheard-of indictment. The Attorney-General, whom, he thought, had stated his case with great moderation and temper, and, he would add, with firmness and candour—the Attorney-General commenced his address, as might have been expected, b . y a statement of the principles and the authorities which he said were necessary to explain the subject-matter of the accusation. As to general principles, they afforded but little opportunity for dispute. It was the ap plication of those principles to the facts of the case on which he should comment. As to the short definition of conspiracy that had beers given, no doubt could be entertained. Conspiracy meant the accomplishing a legal object by illegal means, er an illegal object by legal means. The first case quoted (the King v. James) had not the least analogy to the present accusation. It was an indictment against a bank rupt, charging him with conspiracy to conceal a part of his personal estate, and that an illegal act had been committed. Lord Denman stated that that indictment ought to show that an unlawful act had been done by u n l aw f u l means . Certain it was that the indictment in the present instance did not so demonstrate. In the second case adverted to, several per sons dined together; they pursued that common object with industry and perseverance—( Laughter) they agreed to sup together ; they confederately pursued that common object also with perseverance and indust ry : th ey fi na lly determined to go to the play, and, having gone to the play, one of them having a rattle, rattled it; another having a whistle, whistled it ; a third had a neck of a broken bottle, and be suffered his ultra-Protestant principles to go so far that he threw it on the stage at the theatre. They w ere a ll tr i e d f ora co nspiracy. The grand jury ignored the bill s. Th e Attorney-Gene ral, nothing daunted, referred the matter to a jury. The formidable case of conspiracy was accordingly tried, and no verdict was returned, except that acquitting Mr. Brownlow. The next cave he conceived to be more applicable. It was the King v. Murphy, and it was stated—." If you believe the acts done were done without a comm on d es i gn b etween the parties, this charge of conspiracy cannot b e suppor t e d. The common i design—that sto say, to do an illegal act specified—is the root of the charge ; if you find that these two persons pursued by their acts the same object, often by the same means, one performing one part of the act, and another performing another part of the same act, so as to completed it, with a view to accomplishing a certain object, you are at liberty to draw the conclusion that the parties were engaged in a conspiracy to effect that object." He had to observe that the object to be gained was in the case just cited an illegal object, because the persons agreed together to prevent the collection of a certain rate, and to obstruct an radon vidual in his duty—that is, the collection of the rate--and to take from him the property he had seized. The object, he repeated, was an illegal one, and it was declared that one per son at one moment having done part of the act, and another having contrived to complete the act, they (the jury) then were at liberty to come to the conclusion as to con s p irac y , and the persons were accordingly found guilty. The n e x t case quotedhe by the Attorney-General was to be found in Knight, Carring ton, and Payne's Reports. The first count declared that an unlawful and seditious opposition to her Majesty's Government had been committed. The second count charged the parties with having " induced a number of persons to assemble and meet together. for the purpose of exciting terror and alarm in the minds of her Majesty's subjects, and, by means of such terror and alarm to procure great changes to be made in the Constitution of the realm as by law established, and to annoy and alarm, disturb and prejudice, divers subjects of the Queen, in the peaceable enjoyment of their property." In that case certain policemen were asked whether, in point of fact, anybody in the kingdom had comp lained to them of alarm bein g inspired in their minds by the general character of the meetings. In the course of evidence, a Mr. Roberts stated that several persons complained that were alarmed at those meetings, and r equested him to send for military assistance. On that evi dence the parties were found guilty. Their Lordships would please to observe that according to authority in that case, it became competent to ask each policeman examined in the present matter of conspiracy, not only whether a n ythi ng occurred which was calculated to excite alarm, but whether that alarm had filled the minds of certain persons during the proeeed ings which took place. The next case to which reference had been made was one in which the accused (Stone) was charged with conspiring against one Jackson, a person who died from taking poison. Evidence was given to connect the accused with another man of the same name r es idi ng i n France. Jackson had received a letter on the su bj ec t, and Lord Kenyon at first conceived that the act of another person could not be given in evidence against the prisoner. Mr. Justice Buller was on the bench, and on the second day Lord Kenyon said be was satisfied that the letter was admis sible. That letter was given in evidence, and the jury, im pressed with a sense of the danger of finding one man guilty for the act of another, gave a verdict of acquittal. The next case to which reference had been frequently made, was the King v. Redhead, to be found in Howe's State Trials. In that case the matters relied on in proof of the conspiracy, were explained by proper averments. The . Attorney-General had relied on a certain passage to which he (M r . Whiteside) would take the liberty of directing attention. It was to this effect If the conduct of the defendant had been merely a speculation of his own, it would b e a diff erent thing ; but when it was set forth that there was a large assembly in the case, it becomes necessary to know whether he did not address them with a view to inflame their minds and their passions ; if it could be proved that the act of combining, the results which took place, and the providing of arms arose from a pure motive, they might acquit." In the case in question, the pri soner was found guilty. No w he did not perceive the justice of that distinction drawn by his Learne d Friend, in reference to that case—namely, that a great man might broach opinions which a man in another position in life could not broach. There was no law supporting such a distinction, and his Learned Friend had not stated the true doetrine of the Consti tution. He would now direct the attention of the jury to the language of an eminent jcdgein a case recorded in the 32d vol. State Trials It is not necessary," said Mr. Justice Buller, "to elicit p ositive evidence from persons who heard the conspiratots consult; if you should find that a certain plan was entered into, and you shall be satisfied from what was done that there was a conspiracy to do certain illegal sets, you may thou draw the 0114114011 of conspiracy." In that eertsissly sure d.' ) The speeches given in the indictmen were for the most part made after dinner, and the worst pas sages of them were extracted for the purpose of showirse what a wicked man Mr. O'Connell seas. As to Ow ora " fo reigner," Mr. O'Connell took that word from the law hooks. A case was reported in 3 Harriman and Adolphus, where a bill of exchange was drawn on a person in Ireland, and as there was only a verbal acceptance, it was contended that that was suffi cient, Ireland being a foreign country.-(Laughter.) It was pressed on the other side, that that could not be ; but it was ruled by the Court that Ireland was a foreign country, and that a verbal acceptance of the bill bound the ae ceptor.-(Laughter.) It was observed by one of the counsel who argued the case that they did not even know where Dublin was.-(Laughter.) When Mr. O'Connell said England was a foreign country, he was speaking a ,Irgal truth ; he was certainly speaking of a place beyond theltt.at• but he (Mr. Whiteside) wou ld requ i re t h e S o li c i tor .Geiti v i l d to prove that, because Mr. O'Connell said this. his ( Mr. V.'s) client conspired to do all the wicked things with whicri- Mr. O'Connell was charged. All that he said about the " stunted corporal" (the Duke of Wellington) and Sir Robert Peel; provednothing, and was 'drawn forth because he (Mr. O'Con nell)thought those distinguished persons were going to put hisia down by physical force. His expression, " Here is morn . pkg..• sical force than was at Waterloo," was a mere boastful eipret sion of pride, showing that the confidence of the masses of the people was enjoyed by him, and that their opinions were.it much entitled to be discussed as those of the 75,000 . ,W1:0 went " shoulder to shoulder" to the Hillsborough meeting. Gentlemen of the jury, in looking at the Mullaghroast meet ing, you cannot consider Mr. O'Connell's speech as violent or as improper ' for when alluding to the historical fact of the massacre at Alullaghmast, he does not stir up a sectarian spirit -he told the people that it was not a massacre committed , b a Protestant on a Catholic, but one perpetrated by Cathllies on Catholics. The Attorney-General called your attentieti to the character of the proceedings by which the meeting) were got together-he told you the people were drilled, and he quoted a case to show that such drilling was illegal ; but he did not tell you that the drilling in that case was 'per formed at night, and by a soldier. You, gentlemen, saw the meeting at Donnybrook ; it was composed of respectable'arti sans-we, coming to court, saw them-would you belieie' any man, if he could be found, to tell you that he was put in terror ?-that he apprehended a breach of the peace, or any danger to either life or property ? No, surely -" Ex. uno disce omnes." From that one meeting learn the character of the whole. But the Orangemen have met hundreds of times with music, with banners, and mind. gentlemen, with arms, which they well knew how to use, for they were often tried for using them-(Laughter)-and then only for the riot, not because it was asserted they had no tight to meet, or that such meetings were illegal, for such was never asserted ; and when they did wish to put them down, they had to get an Act of Parliament to empower them to say so. Well, Lord Stanley put them down With a strong and a tight hand, and the only objection which was made by one of the present Judges on our bench was, that he du( not think the law went far enough, and put down all meetings of the descrip tion which were then under debate. Mr. Lefroy, who now so ably administers justice in an inferior Court, resisted with great ability the passing of that Bill. There were also two other persons who resisted it, both of whore are at present traverser, at the bar. One of them was Mr. O'Connell and the other was his son. They resisted it on constitttional grounds, and eloquently, ably, and constitutionally they argued the case, even though it took power from their enemies to injure them. He told them that the spirt of the Orangemen could not be put down ; it might be properly directed, but it could not thus be repressed. The Association was not obnoxious to the charges in the in dictment. Its object was, not to diminish the prerogative of the Crown, but to extend it-not to subvert the throne or the House of Peers, but to add to the strength of the one, and to re store the other, and to bring back to Ireland the House of Com mons, whose absence they deplored. if the jury were to judge fairly, they should place themselves in the situation of the tra versers, and then, he would confidently ask them, would they adept different means to effect their object ? The fact was, that the people had found out the secret of their strength, and that what was denied tojustice was conceded to moral force. The history of Ireland for the last century almost was but a series of Associations like . the present. After adverting to a number of cases in favOur of the traversers, the Learned Counsel thuicen eluded-A liree proportion of our countrymen were unhappy', tis contented, and despicable. They looked around on the cause of their misfortunes-they beheld a country blessed by Pro vidence with the means of greatness, and strong men pining for a daily sixpence, starving with gaunt famine in the midst of fertility, and they uttered the language of indignation and . remonstrance. If, under such circumstances as these.,Zis mars thought a native Parliament would give him the Tnelam of life, was ho criminal to wish for the means of life? he seditious if he said so? And if he, knowing dig . Eis single voice would be passed by unheeded as the idle wind, joined with other men in declaring their common wants, grievances, and sufferings, were they conspirators? .Wite they conspirators because they thought a local Parlial4nt might, perhaps, give them those blessings for which thnew .sighed. They thought, perhaps, the resident aristocra and gentry were the source of industry and the means of wealth. They said that the mischief of absenteeism was deity and hourly increasing. They thought perchance a native Parlia ment might induce the absentees to return. Were they ec2ll- . spirators because they said so ?-They knew, and true 'posits. that the beauties of Ireland were few ; she had little to ftulnce gentry or nobility to return. What were her beauties cen pared with the fascinations of the Imperial Senate, or the glit tering splendour of a Court? They believed that their country's wealtk was daily and hourly diminishing ; ere theta they saw a gloomy prospect and little hope ;, they transferred their eye t• this metropolis in which we stand ; they see what an acute and sensitive people eaneot shut their eyes to ; they see the houses of the nobility turned into barracks, the Stamp-office extinguished, the Linen . ..hall deserted, the University forsaken, the Custom-house almckt a poor-house, and not long since they had read a debate in Par liament to remove from their asylum the old Irish pensioners, who bravely served their country, to transplant them in their old age in another country, for the purpose of saving a miser able pittance. They saw every possible source of expenditure withdrawn from the country by the application of political economy and the unbending principles of imperial centralisa tion. They looked at their parliament house converted into a bank. In their eyes it stood a monument of past glory arid present degradation. The glorious labours of our gifted countrymen within those walls were not forgotten. The works of the understanding did not easily perish. The verses of Homer lived 2,500 years, without the loss of a single letter, while temples and cities had been swept away ; and we even now read without emotion the exalted sentiments her in spired sons poured forth in their exquisite language to save the expiring liberties of their country. Perhaps their genius had a resurrectionary power, and in later days quickened a dege nerate posterity from the lethargy of slavery into the activity of freedom. We, too, had among us in better times, many who approached the greatness of antiquity. The imperishable records of their eloquence would keep alive in our hearts a zeal for freedoni ' and a love for our country. The comprehensi ve genius of Flood, the immortal eloquence of Grattan, the splen dour of Burke, the noble simplicity and Demosthenie eloquence of Plunket and of Curran, had failed to save the ancient'eon stitution of Ireland! Had learning, genius, eloquence, lost their power over the souls of men ? With one great excep tion, these distinguished countrymen had passed away, but their memorials had not perished with them. Their names would be remembered by a grateful posterity, while genius was honoured or patriotism remembered. Those who desired the repeal of the union believed that the Imperial Parliament did not attend sufficiently to our peculiar wants. Our character was misunderstood, and sometimes slandered. Our vices were magnified into crimes, and the crimes of a few were visited upon the nation. The Irish-the mere Irish-had been treated as creatures of impulso-men,,,telf out settled understandings, without a rational pos*llt or moral sense. They had their faults, God knovand and he (Mr. Whiteside) grieved to say it, but their faulti were redeemed by splendid virtues. They had rushed into this agita tion with ardour. It was their very nature where theyOt strongly to act boldly, and speak passionately-ascribe their excesses to their enthusiasm, and forgive ! Recollect that the same enthusiasm had borne them triumphantly over fields of peril and glory-had impelled them to shed their dearest blood, and spend their lives, in defence of the liberties of England. Nor is their high spirit useful only in the storm of battle ;. it cheers their almost broken heart under their misgry-'-it sweetens the bitter cup of poverty, which thousands is` . n l6 countrymen are admitted to feel. The emanations of itaikus, the imperishable works of art, and the labours of herife and the attachment of patriots, have all been prompted by'enthu siasm. The sleep passions of the soul are sometimes summoOd into action for great and noble purposes, and are awakened - .by the hand of Omnipotence, by whose touch this island/Erse started into existence-that hand which has stampetrupOn this bold people the enthusiastic desire for the regeneration of Ireland.
