SPECIAL COMMISSION AT DERBY. SECOND DAY, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16. l'br the preliminary Proceedings, see our Paper of October 17.] Jeremiah 13 . randreth, otherwise John Coke, other The Nottinghtva Captain, 'being put, to the bar, Mr. ATTon N EY-GE NE RAL rose, nod commenced by observing, that the :4 eutivino - 1 vvln»n he had the honour to . address were now assembled to perform one of the most solemn-and important duties - .v rich could ,devolve upon them.as meni berS of civil society : it was, as they must already be aware, to tiecitie upon the guilt or innr.cenee of an . individual charged with the highest crime which could be' committed against society, and Hga inst . that order of things which,. ; thank God, !Ind been long happily established in this country. There were other offences of great enormity to which human nature was sometimes insti ? .., , ated in violation of the law, and of the rights of math ; hut there was none that originated in deeper malignity, or was so directly dangerous awl subversive of society, as the crime described in the lariguag'e of the law as high treason : the safety, comfort, and happiness ot them all, depended 'on the security of that Government and Constitution which had been established in this cottufry for so many years, and whic`li he hoped might, if pos sible, last for ever : his own duty consisted, in the present stage ot these proceedings, in stating as acetiratelv as lie was able„ and tinder the correct- tion of the Learned Judges, it he should happen to this-state or to misconceive it, the law as it af fected the prisnimer, and applied to the acts charg ed in the indictment. Cod torbid that he, or any man in his sitution, should attempt to go tat timer, even if there did not exst._ that lecurity for every subject which was to be found in the lea ruing and wisdom of those avho presided upon all suchi.nyes tigations*; ice hoped it would be recollected by" time Jury, that they were to derive the true . construction of the lawirom that source, and nut from the ar guments of Counsel on either side. Perfect stranger as he was in that part of the country ) acid necessarily unacquainted with time Getitlquen of the Jury, Jme ha.d.a perfect confidence that, upon so solemn an bc(aisiOn, they would exercise tlich functions impartially, iiabiassed by any motive but tine impression made upon their understandings by the evidence: and wide a recollection that they had attested their Nlaker jo the iategrity of ;bete con duct. There were three distinct charges ofTreason againspthe prisoner.; the first of which stated, that he in conjunction with others, levied tt . :ar• against his Majesty, and. describing certain overt acts, viz., arming thevsclyes for this purjnase,...and using other means ‘vl-0,..ms view to its success, and was founded .oPon tits_ statute of the 25ah of Edward 111. For many years this was the only, and still remained the most important, statute on this subject ; ftmi the other charges were founded upon statittea which contained no, material diffe rence, hut deseribed certain .substantive and spe.. cific acts, amonnting..to the crime of high trea son. : The 2d count referred to this description, nhich was to be found in the .36ih of theaiag, and was that of compassing and imagining to de pose the King. ,The overt act in which the trea son consisted was that of consulting with others, and of providing arms and ammtinition the the purpose of subverting, by insarrection and hostile force, .the Constitution of this realm as by law established. It charged also, that in purSnance of this design, the prisoner and-otheis did openly parade with arms in a warlike manner, and did actually levy war against his. Majesty. The third charge was, that he had conspired. to levy war against the King, in order to compel him to. change his measures, and contained time same avert acts stated in the former part of the in dictment. The legal meaning of_ the word " to compass," as.used in the statute of,Edward, was considerably different from the ordinary sense and acceptation of the term : it meant,, in familiar language, " to effect" an object ; but in the law of treason, its construction was " to imagine or intend." It was sufficient, - therefore, to affect the prisoner with this offence, it he could be shown to have joined with others in hostile Ay ray, in execution of a design to subvert the . estah lkhed Government, even though he.had no other absolute or determined object, or knowledge of any ultimate purposes entertained by oihers.. ,A Learned Judge, Mr. Justice Foster, as much tit tached-to time liberties of his fellow-subjects as any Magistrate that ever adorned the benek•had distinctly stated, that every insurrection for a pub lic and general purpose, such as the pulling down all enclosures, time .opening all prisons, or the reforming an imaginary or real grievance of a pitim lie nature. by force of arms, was in construction of law high treason against the Crown. It was a mis take to suppose that war against the King could only be levied by a foreign force,but the only war that could he levied by a subject was that o f in surrection and rebellion.. It was t>f no importance upon this point, whether there had existed at)) probable chance or spreading wain throughout the kingdom, and renewing the calamities of former periods in its history ; the treason was complete, however few might create the insurrection, and , however weak the chances of success. • It might be likewise necessary observation for hint to make before Ice proceeded to detail the circum stances of the case,. that the crinie of treason existing in the mind, could be proved by no better evidence than time declarations of the prisoner when.found to be in conformity andeon sistency with all the circumstances, and with the +overt acts charged in the indictment. The crime itself, was ,t,jmidy an infervace•fram all the circum- [Pliic r? SE vENI , ENT E. stances prothited in evidence, and did, not consist in any particular act. He shonld endeavour" ,to shOw that'the prisoner, with cithers,had project ed4t plan for overturning the laws and Governittent this country; and it Was perfectlyindifferein to in quire what they nesigued to establish in its place, whether a N.s tonal Contention, or a mere state of anarchy, or whether they hod no definite.objeet of any kind. The only question for their conOlera thin was, did.the prisoners contemplate the sub ! . version of the Government, and 1,1,:s any measseres foe effecting this object., If they slid entertain such a design, and attempt to carry it into exec[[- lion by insurrectiore mid hostile farce, then the j• had_ unquestianably, 'according to the laws at England, committed palpable,High Treason. ,It would appear, as he epprehended, in the course of the evideoce e Onet tee prisoner had jostled others in arranging a plan for the achievement of some public purpose by means of hostile force and violence ; that although not present at all the Meetings o f the Conspit ators, he was active in ep deavopring to advance their plans ; that lie 'as commonly designated "by the tide of " the N,e. thighs:is (Jaw aitt," and hod been appoint ed to lead, conduct, and command a division of . the rebel army, which was expected to be formed. . Ile should show, •that in' purseauce Of, and in connexion with this design,it was agreed to assemble in insurrection on' Monday night of the 9th Of June, in a placecalled Not tingliam s forest ; and that .the prisoner went to Pentridge in' the countyof Derby on the Sunday preceding, to' see the expected insurgents, who were to subvert the Government, and, to use their own language, to " wipe all off." , It would likewise appear ; that he prisoner, on this occasion, exhibited to others maps,,and plaps of the intended progress of the insurrection at a public-horse known by the . name of the ‘White Horse, endeavouring by these means to procure a simultaneous rising in different places, and .stirring up evil- spirits' to deeds of conspiracy and rebellion. The insurgents not only armed themselves, but provided a sup. ply cif . arms Un- those ' who were expected to join them. They collected-pikes, guns, pisthls, and every species of weapon that feltin their, way. Froth- Hunt's-bar they proceeded to Dobson's clOse. 'Brawl:pat, the prisoner, and George Weightheati, tvliO wet e the' leaders, were preced ed a,eonsiderable hotly of their party 'their, object was to add as Malty to their numbers as passible, by compelling others to join them, and to e . provide arms for those wfio might willingly cotes . - their, ranks, or whom they might compel info their:service. Theis were fully . aware of the i-hfiiiehee Of neuthers among those who were ignor rant of the hat ate of the force, or the means em- to increase it:; they' therefore always de-_ dared purpose' to be to collect men and. arms. If b'bd been said that the arms of Ettglish men were allowed thetit for their defence, and for the protection of those houses whiehlor security are proudly called their castivi. Among our - an cestois this was permitted; and reckoned a , prond' boast. Little was it thought by those who allow ed.. it that they were, in' the instruments of per sonal and domestic protection, providing weapons to put, into the hands of such men as lirandreth and his associates, to overturn social order and to destroy their fellow-subjects. But the seizure of arms was not enough. They added to this violence, that of compelling their owners to join them. The inhabitants of the houses to which they paid their unwelcome visits were required to give their guns, and either to join , their party themselves, or, it Coe c was no male head of a family, to send it son, or a servant, to swell their numbers. They openly declared their intention to have a. man or a gun from'everyhouse to which they went ; but the man whom they pressed was not to be all Owed to retain - the instrument which they seized. It was put into the hands of a wit , . lingaftendant;and another weapon was to be forced Upon the owner. After conducting themselves in this manlier, they proceeded from Dobson's close to the house of Mr. Thomson. They had not hi therto been joined by such numbers Of their ad herents as they, expected. They, therefore, de termined to .dispatch some of their followers to Pent' idge, to gain intelligence of the state of pre paration of their partisans in that quarter, to hasten their match, anti to learn the cause of their tardy approach. This party e was headed by George Weightmau. The others, uuder the commend of the . prisoner Brandreth, came to the house of Itlij'aft hail they there took a gun, and in- sisted on the son of the. owner joining them. — Elijah Hall was compelled to go along with them, but he deserted theta as soon as he could, and fled back to his own house. It was a fortunate circumstance for the justice of the country, and the cause of order, that this man was forced Into their ranks, and compelled so long to attend their move ments. this means the Jiffy would have to listen to the testimony of as bones . t a man as could I s e lotted, .speaking, to facts that came within his own knowledge and tinder his own eye, and fully diiclosing the intentions and conduct uf' the Pri soner. This person, who would be brought for ward as a witness, accompapied, thoog,h reluct antly; the parry of insurgents to the house of ,Mre Walker. When they strived there, they as usual demanded :a gun. The owner of it was reluctant to surrender it, but was compelled to yield. When they got the gun, they still were dissatisfied, and returned to demand the pistol which they heard to be in the house. The owner denied that he had one, but th e y searched and tOok it from his belt . . From thence they proceeded to the house of Samuel who stl' Hunt, 1 rsv whose el l i : ( ri le ,t t i ‘l ie ctsi o ni f 'n a at e ed r i : Nn : (ll ll - 1 1 a :l e r ca e ti.) a ai er evi dence,l i n il a s t Cu:thee::. prisoner happened, (cal hard ai whic h s c b h pr t ro v et o : get MONEY.

After a long interval of senatorial si lence, Lord St. John again came forward, and in the last Session frevently spoke against the Sus pension of the Habeas Corpus . Act.
