The Police Reports almost daily show to those who have property of importance the necessity of procuring a good Lock. Crime to a very serions extent may be traced to the negligence or indifference shown as to the quality of Locks—Lad Locks giving no security whatever, but enabling the dishonest and tile curious to open and relock to lull suspicion, by means of other ordinary keys, or pick them with the common pick keys ; thus private stock in trade , jewels, plate, documents, and papers of tne most serious nature, are exposed to the prying curiosity of th os e left in trust in the absence of principals. To avoid these ruinous losses and exposures procure the SEVEN GUARDED LOCK, warranted and made by S.

London : A. H. Bailey and Co., 83, Cornhill. Moved by BRONTERREI O'BRIF.N, seconded by FEaRGUS O'CONNOR. 1. Resolved,—That from the evidence which has reached this Council from various parts of the country, we are unani mously of opinion that the people are not prepared to carry out the "Sacred Month" on the 12th of August. The same evi dence, however, convinces us that the great body of the working people, including merit of the Trades, may be induced to cease work on the 12th inst., for. two or three days, in order to devote the whole of that time to Solemn Processions and Solemn Meetings, for deliberating on the present awful state of the country, and devising the best means of averting the hideous despotism with which the industrious orders are menaced by the murderous majority of the upper and middle classes, who prey upon their labour. We, at the same time beg to announce to the country that it is the deliberate opinion of this Council that unless the Trades of Great Britain shall cooperate, as united bodies, with their more distressed brethren, in making a Grand National Moral Demonstration, on the 12th instant, it will be impossible to save the country from a revolution of b'ood, which after enormous sacrifices of life send property, will terminate its the utter subjection of the whole of the working people to the monied murderers of so ciety. Under these circumstances we implore all our brother Chartists to abandon the project of a Sacred Month, as being for the present utterly impracticable, and to prepare them selves forthwith to carry into effect the aforesaid constitutional oi:jects on the 12th inst. We also implore the United Trades. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZEVIE. At the Court at Buckingham Palace, the 31st day of July, 1839 Present, the QUEEN's host Excellent Majesty in Council.

WARWICK ASSIZES. TRIAL OF WILLIAM LOVE .11. FOR SEDITION. WARWICK, TUESDAY EVENING. The trial of Mr. Lovett, the Secretary to the General Convention cf the Working Classes, for the publication of a seditious libel, came on this morning ; and it being un derstood that Mr, Lovett would defend himself, there was a good deal of eagerness aril anxiety manifested to obtain admission to the Court which was crowded in every part, long before the hour appointed fur commencing. the pro ceedings. Mr. JUSTICE LITTLRDALE having taken his . seat, and the Jury having been called over, William Lovett, 39, who had been out on bail, was then placed at the bar. The indictment charged that on the 4th day of July, in the third year of the reign of our Sovereign Lady the Queen, at the parish of Birmingham, in the county of Warwick, 10,000 per sons unknown, with force and aims, unlawfully assembled, armed with divers offensive weapons, to wit—sticks, - clubS, and daggers, and bearing banners and flags, and were then and there snaking a great noise and disturbance to the great terror and alarm of the peaceable subjects of our Lady the Queen : That George Martin mut John .Hugh Sweeting, together with certain other persons, forming and being part of the London Me tropolitan Police, having theretofore been sworn in, and then being special - constables of the said borough of Birmingham, in pursuance of the statute in such case made and provided, did, by the order and direction of Wil!iam Scholefield. Esq., and Julin Raye Booth, Esq., Justices of our said Lady the Queen, assigned to keels the peace, disperse, separate, and remove, and cause and procure to be dispersed, separated, and removed the said unlawful assembly ofpersons,and that they the said George Martin and John Hugh Sweeting, together with the said other persons forming part of the said Metropolitan Police force, then and there acting in the due execution of their duty, as such special constables, in dis. persing and causing to be dispersed the said unlawful assembly : That the said William Lovett, being a person of a wicked, seditious, and disaffected mind and disposition, and devising, continuing, and intending to excite divers liege subjects of our lady the Queen, to violate, resist, and oppose the laws of the realm, and to resist and oppose the parsons so being part of the London Metropolitan Poac e in the due execution of their duty, and to bring into hatred and contempt the said Metropolitan Police, and to cause and prccure divers unlawful meetings, of the subjects of our Lady the Queen, and to cause divers of the said subjects to believe that the laws of this kingdom were unduly adruin:stered within this realm by the persona appointed to administer the same therein, and unlawfully contriving and intending to disturb the public peace, and to raise discontent in the minds of the subjects of out L ady the Queen, and to raise and excite tumults and disobedience to the laws, did afterwards to wit, on the sth day of July, write and publish and cause to be written and published, a certain false, malicious, scandalous and seditious libel of and concerning the said _persons, so being part of the London 'Metropolitan Police ,and of and concerning the administration of law and justice within this realm, containing the false, scandalous, libellous, and malicious matter fol lowing, that is to say : (The Resolutions of the General Convention, which appeared in our report of the trial of Collins yesterday, were then read.) The defendant pleaded Not Guilty. The ATTOaNEY-GENERAL said he understood Mr. Lovett would defend hirnsetf, and as it would be more convenient to him to stnnd or sit at the table, he had no objection to that being done. The defendant accordingly took his place at the table, and the Jury were then sworn. Mr. Lovett said he bad an objection to make to two of the DECLARATIONS OF INSOLVENCY. • Jurors. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that might be done, but only upon shown, Mr. Lovett said he objected to them on account of certain ex. pressioas they had used, namely, that they wished all the Chartists were hanged. ThU AT I'OIINEY-G ENERAL—You must give some evidence of that. Mr. Lovett—l fear there would be some difficulty about the proof now. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL &iitl it should be understocd that in cases/ of felony the prisoner had a right of peremptory challenge without cause shown, but in cases of misdemeanour there could only.be a challenge upon cause shown and proved. Mr. Lovett bad made no objection to the persons selected, un derstanding that he could afterwards object to any he thought proper. The ArronNsv-GENEnaL—They have not been selected—they have been fairly chosen by ballot, and I have not interfered in the slightest degree. The defendant was then given in charge to the Jury, and The ATTORNEY-GCNERAL proceeded to state the case. He said he was most anxious that the defendant should have a fair and Partial trial, and so far as it rested upon him, he had intcrfered to give him all the advantages possible to enable him to conduct i:ie defence. There was a very serious offence laid to his charge, but unless they (the Jury) were convinced of his guilt it would be their duty to find a verdict of acquittal. He was sure they would not be influenced by anything they had heard before they entered the box. He was satisfied that their minds were free front all bias and prejudice either upon the one side or the other, and that the verdict they would pronounce would be the verdict of truth and justice. It would not be necessary for him to occupy any very considerable portion of their time in detailing the circumstances under which the defendant stood charged. He might, he hoped, without any impropriety say that they were aware there was a eery dangerous riot in the town of Birmingham on the evening of the 4th of July, and the nature of that riot would be proved before them in evidence. He should call witnesses to prove that there was an unlawful assembly there, and that the Magistrates in the discharge of their duty did what was necessary for the suppressicn of that riot—that the officers of the law were resisted and were overpowered—that several of them received wounds by which their lives were endangered. He should either tender the evidence of time witnesses examined yesterday on these points, and place them in the box, in order thct the defendant might cross-examine them, or lie would call and examine them a second time, but the former course would, it appeared to him, s.tve a gaol d eal of te public time. It was for the defenclmt to say' tchich ,ours sho uld ba adopted. Either one way or the other, it Would appear that there were long-continued meetings in a public place in Birmingham, called the Bull-ring, where there wt.', a great many shops and important business transacted, and that the Magistrates in the discharge of their duty did all they could to suppress these meetings. Their efforts were ineffectual—the meetings were persisted in, and became more numerous and disorderly every day. From the defective state of the Birrninghem police, it was necessary to procure some assistance for the preserva tion of the public peace. The Learned Gentleman then detailed the circumstances relative to the Magistrates having applied for and procured the assistance of a body of the metropolitan police, end the riot and assaults that had afterv. ards taken place on their at ri. cal in the Bull-ring. He then proceeded. Such a scene was not known in Birmingham for many years. He believed in the year 1750 or 17S1 serious riots had taken place in that town, but from that time to the present, although there bad been many and numerous meetings, he was not aware that the public peace had been so disturbed, or that so much injury had been done to life, person, and property, which caused the description to be applied to it that " Birmingham was like a town taken by storm." Now under such circumstances what was the duty of every loyal and peaceable subject? Why if it was supposed that any violation of the law had taken place, an action might have been brought against the parties. But what was the conduct of the defendant ? Mr. Lovett could not deny that the document he (the Attorney-Ge neral) held in his hand was in his hand-writing, nor could he deny that he was the composer and author of the printed bill now lying • before him,to which his name was attached. In the course of the following day came out what indeed might be called a proclamation from the General Convention, of which Mr. Lovett described him self as the Secretary. Instead of appealing to the inhabitants, and advising them to be quiet, and to appeal to the laws for redress if they had been violated, there came out the most inflammatory address, which was calculated to rouse their passions, to exas. perate them to the utmost degree, and to lead them to acts of violence and outrage; and to that handbill must, in a great measure, be attributed the melancholy effects that followed in the succeeding week. That document pretended to be resolu tions unanimously agreed to by the General Convention, and was signed" By order, William Lovett, Secretary," with all the form and solemnity of a proclamation by her Majesty Queen Victoria. Now, what were these resolutions which he would prove to be in the handwriting of Mr. Lovett ? The Learned Gentlemen here read the resolutions, and commented at some length upon their tendency and effect. Now, if persons were allowed to excite the people to re sistance and opposition to the law, society could no longer exist in that country, and no publications or speeches, making and leading to a violation of the law, or breach of the peace, could be tole rated, else there could be no security for life or property. If these proceedings were tolerated, the natural conse quence would be, that they would get into a state of confusion, and the utmost calamity ; and who in such case would be the greatest sufferers ? The industrious classes theem selves. For that class he (the Attorney-General) had the grea eat respect, for to them was - that country indebted for its greatness and wealth. They should be trea"ed with respect and kindness on all occasions, but for their own sakes it was necessary to protect them from the delusions cf those wino sought to mislead them, to pervert their understandings, and who endeavoured to lead them into the commission of crime for which they would afterwards be answer. able, and thereby lead to the ruin of themselves and their families. He understood there was a Convention of the Woi king Classes, but he called upon the Jury to protect the working classes from the con. sequences of such publications. The present was the last oppos te nity he would have of addressing a Jury of the county of Warwick. Several cases still remained for trial, but his public duties called him elsewhere, and the remaining trials would be conducted by his Learned Friends, whose valuable assistance he had had. Before he retired, he might be allowed to say most respectfully that he should ever, recollect, with gratitude and with admiration, the manner in which the juries of the county of Warwick; on that occasion had conducted themselves—they had shown a firmness and determine. tion—they had shown that they were not to be intimidated, and not to be misled. They had shown that the trial by jury was an institution on which they might safely rely—they had shown that while the trial by jury existed, and the jurymen discharged their duty faithfully and honestly, the laws would be enforced, and the properties and lives and liberties of her Majesty's subjects would be safe. In times like the present, it would be most lamentable and deplorable if offences like the present, when fairly and satisfactorily proved before a jury, should escape punishment. When the guilt of a party was satisfactorily established, then it was the duty of the -jury to finds verdict of gut ty,however painful that might be to there. In times whenthere was any improper interference w th the freedom of the subject, it was the duty of a jury to protect the: e iberties from encroachment. In times when there was a disposition to disobey the law, and set it at defiance, it was the duty of the Jury to 6:e that the law sh uld be vindicated. It was a satisfaction to him to anticipate that these times of turbulence and insubordination would probably be but short—that the people would return to a due sense of their duty, and see that they would best consult their own interests and the interests of their families by a due obedience to the laws, and that they would be convinced of this, that it was for the sake of the free institutions under which they lived, that the law: should be vindicated. Proceedings like the present, and in flammatory publications like it, had a powerful tendency to bring the law into disrepute. With these observations he would leave the case in their hands. Mr. Lovett would defend himself, and he had no doubt he would do so with great ability. He entreated of them to pay all attention to him, and to the evidence that would be laid before them ; and he had no doubt that in the duty cast upon them they would deliver a verdict on which for the rest of their lives they might satisfactorily rest. The ArroesEY.Gesensr. then proposed, if Mr. Lovett would agree to the arrangement, that the witnesses should be sworn, and placed in the box, and the evidence which they had given yesterday be read to them from the Judge's notes. Mr. Lovett said he would like to have the evidence proved. Chance Colburn, a stationer living in High-street, Birmingham, neat the Bull-ring ,was accordingly placed in the witness's box, and his former deposition reed to him by the Judge. Scholefield, Mayor of Birmingham, was in office on the Gth of July. The town of Birmingham had been for some time in an excited state and some alarm. He then described the meetings held in Birmingham, and ren peated nearly the evidence of Dr. Booth, relate. e to the applicatic at the Home Office for assistance. PRICE sd. Cross-examined by Mr. Lovett—Was not in Birmingham during the excitement on the Reform Bill. There was no destruction of properly previously to the introduction of the Metropolitan Police into Birmingham. Mr. Lovett---You are aware that by the Constitution and laws of Englsnd, the people have a right to meet for the discussion of grievances ? The ATTORNEY- GENERAL said that . was no fact. It was a matter of opinion upon which; however, there c^uld be - no doubt. Cross-examination resumed.—l put forth a proclamation pro hibiting the meetings in the Bull-ring. I did not consider the meetings in question constitutional ones, hecaus c they were of a tumultuous character, and calculated to excite terror and alarm. When I went into the Bull-ring I saw a person reading a newspa.. per or speaking to the people who were assembled round him, but whether they were peaceable or not I cannot say. The moment say hear ewas anythingar a little i see entered the Bull-ring we were received with groans. I don't know whether the groaning w as di rec t e d' aga i nst th e p o lice or Dr. Booth and myself. I c anno t sa y b ut I was rece i ve d on a former evening wahagroans. There had b een p rev i ous i n ti ma ti on s given about the to the people by th e aut h or i t i es that they must not meet there.

Mr. Lovett—Are you perfectly certain that the words were not, " There they are lads, now do your work ?" Mr. Scholefieid--Certainly not, nor words capable any of such construction. I ,llr. Lovett—lour o`oject was to arrest the speaker in the first place ? Mr. Scholefield—Yes. Mr. Lovelt—Did not, before you got up to the speaker, the po lice make an attack on men, cyonion, and children. Mr. Scholefield--Certainly not. Mr. Lovett—What time elapsed from tae police being introduced to the reading of the Riot Act ? Mr. Scholefield—About twenty minutes or half-an-hour Mr. Lovett—The people had uo caution to disperse before the police were introduced ? Mr. Scholcfield—They were told to disperse. Mr. Lovett—Who told them Mr: Seholefield—Dr. Booth. Mr. Lovett—After the Riot Act was read you went for the mi litary ? Mr. Seholefield—The military were brought to the spot before the Riot Act was read. Mr Lovett—Who read it ? Mr. SCllolefield—l cannot say, because I did not read the Riot Act myselt, nor did I hear it read. Mr. Lovett—What distance were you ? Mr. Scholefield—l believe about 30 or 40 yards. Mr. Lovett—The police brought arms from London. Small cut. lasses ; end they had them aUatit 'their persons when they entered the Bull-ring ? Mr. Scholefield—Certainly not; they were strictly forbidden. Mr. Lovett—ln what time after dispersing the people had they their cutlasses ? Mr. Scholefield—l am not aware. Ido not believe they had them that night. Mr. Lovett—Could they have them without your knowledge ? Mr. Scholetield—l cannot say. They. might have them. I mus not necessarily know. I was on horseback all night. Mr. Lovett—You are chief magistrate in Birmingham, and could any such power be given to any other individual but you, to arm the police against the people ? Mr.Scholetield—Yes, the Magistrates might have done it certainly Mr. Lovett—Did you see any of the persons who•were wounded with these harmless weapons with which the police were armed ? Mr. Scholefield—l saw a few brought in the same night. Mt.. Lovett—Do ycu not consider that those weapons are as much calculated for destruction of life as a sabre or any other weapon. I mean for knocking out a man'e . brains ? I put this question because they hare been called harmless. Mr. Scholetield—l would rather not see the :police armed with sabres. The other weapons ate certainly not harmless weapons. Mr. BULGUY cross.exainined the witness in support of his evi dence in chief. Char. Martin, police inspector, was called and had his evidence, given yesterday, read over to him. Witness cross examined by Lovett.—Our orders at Birming. ham were in the first instance, I took them officially from the Com. missioner Mr. Mayne. I did not, nor was I requested to ask my men if they would volunteer to go to Birmingham. The only observa tion which I made was to one married man, if it would suit his purpose to go to the country. They are allowed extra pay, and are generally the steadiest men and who know their duty best. .On that account he would ray they did stand a better chance for promotion. I saw one stone thrown before the order to disperse was given. That was near the Bull-ring. I am positive that all the avenues were net stopped to prevent the people from dispersing. Could not say, be cause lie had not seen persons take refuge in the churchyard, be. cause the avenues were closed. Cross.examined by Mr. Bascuv.—When the police entered the Bull-ring, all the avenues were open. James Laxton, police-constable, was next called, to acknowledge his previous depositions. This was one of the constables that was -wounded with a dagger. Mr. Lovett declined to cross.examine him. * Wm. Bennett produced a dagger and a bayonet, which he had taken from the rioters. He also confirmed his farmer evidence. Geo. Hogge.tts, police-eonsLble, was next called, and he approved his evidence of yesterday. Thos. C. Salt, stationer, proved the publication. Cross-examined by Mr. Lovett.—l have seen, I think, two letters from you, since the establishment of the Convention, and the re semblance of the manusetipt copy now produced is so strong, that I Iklieve it to be in your ha: d.writing. I never saw you wri' e.

And, Gentlemen of the Jury, I need not inform you, that in order to change and influence public opinion in favour of any public nrasures, the same institutions of our country recognize the right .of publie n eect i ng ._ of free discassicts—of public petitioning, and all other peaceful insides of agitation. In fact, one of our best writers on Government (Hr. Bentham) has gone further, and has stated . that the people of this country have never obtained one political right or privilege but by making the ruling fear uneasy. ...And how t' e right of ,peaceful agitation may be exhioited, there ever clearly o • •, can be no doubt but that all agitation likely to be promotive of publielsenefit, likely to deprive unjust power of its stencil, or cor privilege of its prerogative, will occasion in them very gre at rupt uneasiness, and will, as the present agitation has done, stir up men in possession of such unjust power to prevent by every means at their dispaeal, the free and constitutional expression of the pub lic will. The Learned Counsel has alluded to the dangerous ten dency of this agitation, but, Gentlemen, let me impress upon your minds that the people were content with the orderly, peaceable, and public expression of their views and opinions, till the authori ties in 'power, feeling uneasy at their gathering strength and Merest • ing knowledge, sought to prevent the Leedom ofopinion, and put ee opportunities, i: influencetao,, rituutnnieitit wherei °r f s t a t whennhititns: drooltxrulu:rwis, "the Judges --- As well as the dclument that has been handed you ?—Yes. I known your political principles for some time. I have never known you to advocate violent or criminal modes of obtaining a redress of grievances. The whole spirit of your words and con duct, from all I have observe I, has exhibited an absolute disgust of all vlole ce, and a desire to produce change only by intluer:cing public op:nirm. I speak this from speeches I have heard from }on, and from private and confidential communications with you. I was a ?I tuber of the General Convention along with 3 cu, and believed it was a perfectly legal body. lam aware that before putting forth our rules we applied to a Counsel for his opinion as to their legality. Tae 0: j7cts of the Convention were to watch over the progress of a Bill entitled the people's Charter, to be introduced into the House cf Commons, as well as to watch over a petition in favour of that measure, and to obtain by all legal and constitutional means an equal share of polititical power for the unrepresented millions. They never centemp'ated any division of property such as had been at tributed to them. I speak of the Convention as a body. My re signation was not the consequence of any act of the body generally. It origiriated in my utter and entire disapprobation of the speeches made by and attributed to individuals of that body. I have heard very violent speeches attributed to Members of the Legislature. The Convention originated either in Mr. Philip Henry Monts or Mr. Attwood.—(A laugh ) Mr. Barasmv—Then it has two fathers? Are you aware that Mr. O'Connell had anything to do with it origin ?—1 am not aware whether he had or not. Mr. BALGLIV—Ii is a child of many fathers? Mr. Lovett—lt is a matter of great importance to me to estab lish who was the originator of the Convention, because his Lordship in his charge to the Jury said the term Convention 'arts "an omi nous name," and I am anxious to show its origin and objects. Examined by Mr. WADDINGTON—I have received letters from Mr. Lovett, and acted upon them and sent answers. I don't recol• beet receiving any reply. Mc. Lovett was Secretary to the Conven tion when I was a Member. The signarure to the document closely resembles that of the letters I have received, asd I would say they were the same, and that the hand-writing is Mr. Lovett's. The time I withdrew was the beginning of March last, when I saw the se violentspeeehes All the members of the Convention retired about the same time. The speeches I refer to made allusions to a reiort to violent means to procure political changes. Charles Watson proved the printing of the placard, and John Clarke, a bill. poster, proved having posted about 300 of them in the Bull-ring, and elsewhere throughout the town_ The manuscript of the resolutions was then put in and read. This closed' the case for the prosecution. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—There was no evidence of the pub lication by the defendant. down the right of public meeting. It is true that the alarm occa sioned by the attempt to deprive them of these great constitutional rights did in one or two instances lead to breaches of the peace. But, Gentlemen, on whose side is the greater culpability ? Is it on the part of those who in numerous instances, to secure unjust possessien of power, seek to restrain the great constitutional rights of the people, the safe and secure means for progressing in know ledge and liberty, or on that of the isolated few who may be found arnomg the multitude, who, seeing every avenue to a legal redress of grievances shut against them, rebel against such unjust autho. city. And here, Gentlemen, I would direct your attention to the fact that the people of Birmingham continued their 1,. aceful agita. tion till the autiroritLs, by placing what the people believed to be a false construction os a local Act of Parliament, sce . ght to put down that agitation by fine and iniprieoement. Nay, further, while the use of the Public Hall and Public OfEces were opened freely to other elasses, the authorities added to the outraged feelings of the multi. trete, by denying them the use of those places. But we are told at least such seems to be therational construction—that the violent lan gueg,e or conduct of individuals shall be made the pretence for re. stricting the free expression of opinion, and putting down the meet.. ings cf the millions. This has ever been the conduct of despotism in a 1 ages ; they excite the few to violence by their system of es. pionage and fraud, and then, by the pretence airsrded, impose ad.. ditional chains •on the liberties of the people. And, singular enough, gentlemen, while the violent expressions of working-men are made the subject of a criminal prosecuti en, the still more tio. lent expressions of the rich (as they serve the interest of party), are rewarded with honours and emoluments. Need I refer to party speeelos male during the Reform Bill, and still stronger language that has subsequently been made, in cart oboratiicn of this opinion? But to return to the proceedings at Birmingham. While, as I before stated, the people and their newly appointed authorities were sqnatbling respecting the proper construction of a local Act of Par liament, and were, as they had been accustomed to do, met in public to read the newspapers and talk of their grievances, these authori ties, having been supplied with a division of the police force from Landon, did, without caution or warning (such as the reading of the Rost Act, and other preliminaries of the law), make what I am still bound to considet a flagrant and uncoestitutionel attack on the people. And, gentlemen, permit me to explain the expression in the alleged libel of • unconstitutional power." Fr to reading and reflection I am led to conceive, that there are CoEt,in great fundamental rights and privileges which belong to Englishmen—certain great consti tuticnel boundaries which ought to be as sacred from the innovation of class or the infringements of law, as if England had bed a written The right of trial by jury, the right of public meeting, e right of petitioning, the freedom of the press, the freedom of sou stop, the right cf commonage anti numerous others, are all so it erwoven with our liberties, that all who by legislation or otherwise cesspass cn these boundaries are unconstitutional aggressors on the iglus and liberties of Englishmen. Now gentlemen, it must be well mown to you (and I wish to refer to it with respect) that out Legis ntuie have en too many occasions yielded to the suggestions of bad men and selfish interests, and have framed laws, and devised mea. sures, ca'culated to infringe on those constitutional and rational brit ileges . end many laws of modern enactment, respeciing the right of ' , utile meetings and the liberty of the press, may be referred to. And intro police force is to be a perambulating lardy, to be placed at the disposal of any interested or exclusive class, the more ef. fectually to enable that class to keep back public liberty, it is very - properly dceiguated as an unjust and unconstitutional force. And I have a trier authority nelech hears out this designa. tine, tio less titan Lord John Russell himself, according to this extract from one of his speeches, " 1 speak according to the spirit cf our Constitution when I ray that the liberty of Engeind abhors the unnatural protectien of a standing army; she abjures the ceunteearce of fortresses end barracks, nor cats these institu. Liens mer be n:trash:eel by force and terror." And what, I would ask, but a standing assey of the worst de: ninticn is the polee force, as being, and as now proposed to be established. This unconetitm, tioaal force, then, having, as !before described, made an inniscrimi nate attack upon men, securer], and • thildren, end having, it would appear, volunteered their services, end consequently looked forward fur prolmtion, sought to earn it by a wanton, and I am prepared to show in evidence, a bloselthirity discharge of their ( - titles. The morning after this ettaek, a consinemble number of the working classes of Birmingham called on me, and were'anxious that some public expression of opinion should be made regarding the outrage, and some advice given to them es to what was best to be done rest eating their public meetings. Never having altcneL d one of the meetings in the Bull-ring, and conceiving moreover that they, being itilmbitants of the town, and knowing their customs and treages, must be better judges of their . right to meet there than strangers ccuid, I so far complied with their request as to pen and propose to tae Convention the resolutions which are deemed libel ous. Now, had I been singular in strongly expressing my feelings regarding this eireiust attack upon the people. it would afford some argument on the side of the prosecution; _ but when much stronger language has been used in most of the newspapers of the day respecting it, when it has been trade the subject of reprehen sion ai.d censure from one extremity of the kingdom to the other, it would. seem as if a victim from the ranks of labour was preferred, where lack of wealth would best insure a triumph. The. late Lord Chancellor, and we should presume he is no small authority regarding the law in this case, said the other day in his place in Parliament, that "he had seen the libel for which these persons were served (Mr. Collins and myself), and hardly a day passed that he did not see a worse case in the newspapers." I will read to you the resolutions referred to by his Lordship. "That this Convention is of opinion that a wanton, flagrant, and unjust outrage has been made upon the people of Birmingham, by a blood thirsty and unconstitutional force from London, acting under the authority of men who, when out of office, sanctio i ned and took part in the meetings of the people, and now, when they share in the public plunder, seek to keep the people in social and political degra dation."—" Tina the people of Birmingham are the best judges of their own right to meet in the Bull-ring,or elsewhere—have their own feelings to consult respecting the outrage given, and are the best judges of their own power and resources to obtain justice."-- " That the summary and despotic arrestiof Dr. Taylor, our respected cellea,one, affutds another convincing proof of the absence of all jus tice in England, and clearly shows that there is no security for lives, liberty, or property, till the people have some controul over the laws they are c.illed upon to obey." Gentlemen of the Jury, in my previous observations I have been. labouring, it may be very imperfectly, so show, you that what is here designated a libel was written under circumstances and momentry feelings induced by the b lief that a great outrage had been made on the constitutional rights of Englishmen, and with no:criminality of intent; it is the criminality of intent that constitutes the libel, and law authorities are not wanting to establish this point. For Mr. Starkie stases in his work on libel, that it is incumbent upon the defendant if he seeks to discharge himself from the consequences of the publication to show that it was made under circumstances which justify it. lie Mr. BALctn•—The libel is in the defendant's handwriting. constitut also iitates that it is the undoubted right of every member of the Mr. Justice Liman/see—How do we know but that some community to publish his own opinions on all subjects of public and one may have taken the paper out of a drawer or desk in common interest, se long as he exercises this privilege candidly and which the defendant had placed it. There is no proof that Mr. sincerely with a view to benefit society he is not amenable as a Lovett had authorized any one to print or publish it. criminal. And Lord Erskine in the trial of Mr. Frost in 1793 Mr. BALGUY said it had been decided by very high authority states—that no man can be criminal without a criminal intention; that publication might be proved by the document being In it stands at the top of the criminal page throughout all the volumes the defendant's hand-writing, or by his exposing it in his own of our Lw." Now, gentlemen, in this country where the free in. hand ; but it often happened that there was no direct proof of 17estigation of public measures end censure of public acts constitute the defendant's agency in publishing the document, and the us a free people; in this country where the freedom of opinion and most usual and important evidence in such case was to prove the freedom of the Press should be at once the witnesses and guar. that the libel published was in the hand-writing of the defendant. diens of liberty, and where the power of judging is exercised by Mr. Justice LrrTLEDALE said there was he recollected g reat the people, the design of the author is not to malign, but to reform difficulty in the case of Sir Francis Berciat in proving the an d i m p ro ve ; and as_ in my case by censuring the act prevent peblication, although the hand-writing was proved, Mr. Lovett—My Lerd, it was proved in that case that a servant s imilar aggre;sions in future.
