BAIL uarrfrosu Colt MU littlitivr Joni:N.—Mr. F. argum
O'Connor, M.P., accompanied by Mr. Mummers, his soli-
citor, attended to be admitted as one of the sureties jointly
with Mr. John Sewell, fur Ernest Jones. He stated that he
, had waited on Friday evening on Mr. Jardine fur the same
purpose, and being referred by him to Mr. Mauls, the Soli-
citor to the Treasury, lie brought back a note from that gen.
tleman auth. rising the court to accept him as one of the
sureties.—Mr. Henry said he had received no commune's-
tion from the Solicitor to the Treasury respecting Mr. Sewell,
and inasmuch as the recognisance, could not be taken sepa-
rately he had no power to comply wi h the request —Mr.
O'Connor, in reply, said be did not consider it alisolutely
necessary to have the sanction of Mr. Mtal., particularly as
there could be no doubt of Mr. Sewell's solvency.—Mr.
Henry said he was not guided by the sanction of the Solicitor
to the Treasury, it being indispensable that 24 hour.' notice
should be given by each person of to become a surety.
—Mr. filaenaniara said that on Friday haunt in four names,
and that of Mr. Sewell was among them.—Mr. Henry said,
if such was the case, the specified time would not expire until
two o'clock, by which time there might be a communi-
cation made by Mr. Mauls upon the subject, but as the
matter stood, he knew nothing of Mr. Sewell's solvency.—
He was willing to give every facility, and begged to draw
Mr. O'Cennor's attention to the fact that members of the
House of Commons were not eligible to act in the capacity
of bail for any party, such being the decision of the Court
of Queen'. Bench in the case of " Duncan r. Hill" (Ist Dow-
bag and Ryland's Reports); bond., which there were other
decisions to the same effect in the other courts, the cause of
which was that members of parliament, by reason of thi it
privileges, were nut amicable to the ordinary previews of
the court, and could net be proceeded ursine, should it be
required ; it would therefore be necessary for the tm. gen.
tleman to consider the objection before nil return to the ,
court —Mr. O'Connor replied that the Solicitor to the Tres-
miry had omitted to point out the objection mentioned, but
of course his worship was most likely to be well acquainted I
with the law upon the subject.—'ilia h .n. gentleman then
left the court. —Mr. Mummer& afterwards returned to
court, and said that Mr. O'Connor had gone out of
town, as the magistrate did not think him competent
bail. Ile proposed as bail Messrs. Sew, II and Blomfield.
—it. Blonitield, of Harlow-house, Mile-end-road, said he
had not paid has taxes for four quarters. Ile had not paid
his lust half-year's rent, which was payable quarterly. He
had been distrained upon for rent within eighteen months,
or perhaps twelve months. He possessed five small cottages,
three of which were mortgaged. The others produced him
:SOU. a year. He bad only one man iu his employ at present.
He could not produce his last receipt, not being ordered to
brief( it.—Kendal, a detective officer, said he distinetl) told
him he was to produce his ri ecipte.— Mr. Henry refused to
acme Blomtield as bail, upon which Mr. Murrell, a grocer,
of 10• i, Bailers-street, was put forward, who said he paid tiOl.
a year rent, had been three months in business, and hail put
down 1101. towards setting up himself. The rest he had
found by means of bills.—Mr. Henry refused to accept the
bail, and, u both sureties should be taken jointly, he could
not accept Mr. Sewell, and fresh notice shou:d be given. The I
parties th, n left the court, and in the latter part of the day
fresh notice of boil was served on Mr. Burnaby, the chief
clerk, the names being Mr. J. Sewell and Mr. Edward
Dipple, publisher, 42, Holywell Street, Strand.

charged with making a sedition. speeds. W. Council said
he was a short-hand writer. On the evening of the sth of
June he attended a meeting at the Chartist-hall, Wi bber-
street, Blackfriars.road. Looney said, "1 am not &speaker,
but I am one who has a deadly hostility to Lord John Bus
sell; and I will tell you more, I am one of his to at practical
opponents, I believe, at present in London. Igo into every
neighbourhood where Irishmen and Englishmen are to be
found, and try to get them to become dissatisfied with his
government. 1 advise you to get arms. All the world seems
to heave at this moment for liberty acid for justice to the
working classes; and now the oily man who effectively
preached the true doctrine calculated to give the working
man the means of living, is taken away by the horrible
machinations of an unjust and pernicious law, and
transported away from us. We have not his fel-
low. I believe he was the first man who preached and pro-
pounded that doctrine ; and I believe it is the only true doc-
trine which is calculated to save the lives of the people. We
must no• be afraid of government. I tell you trom this
spot that lam a republican in heart and soul. I tell you to
be particular to do this ,—Let every ten or twenty of you in
,he neighbourhood you live in meet, and if your means are
wiry poor, and you cannot provide yourselves with stuns, you
can get pikes from Is. 3d. to Is. Gel each ; and mind you, you
can get pistols very cheap. I tell you, as one of your friends,
not to misuse them. Do not go about the streets. I am
opposed at present to street work ; I do not like to act such a
part. Ido not like to go into open-air meetings or ',rocs.
sions ; hut any fi Dow who is paid fur cudgelling me head in
will fled me stiff enough for him ; and I can tell him that,
if he attempts to strike me he shall strike nobody elec."—
After some further examination, Mr. Ilenry said he had no

the prisoner. Ile would take bail—two sureties in 1001. each,
and himself in 2001.
