broken ; the lower windows were protected by
shutters. Ile met the Defendant a few doors round
the corner, and said, " What work it is:" the
Defendant replied " It is." Witness advised him
to go home. saying, he thought lie had some in-
fluence with the snob, and if he went home, it
might he the means of taking is good many of
them away. The Defendant said, " They have in-
jured tor." Witness rrnlied, " Mr. Wilson has
not injured you." The Defendant said, " To;
but they have—the Gentlemen have." Witness
then begged him to go home, and take as many
with I' as lie could. The Defendant said, " If
they (the Gentlemen) will mike a birgain with me,
I van take the whole home." Witness inquired
what bargain he wished to make. Ile said, " If
they will give me a quart of ale for every man, I
will take them all away." They went out, and ut
about a quarter aim hour returned. The Defend-
ant was with them then. The town of Macclesfield
was lighted with gas. The lamps were put out
while This was going forward. When they were go-
ing to break the lamp at the top of Goose-lane, wit-
ness saw Defendant advance a little, as if he were
reconnoitring. He then went to his former station,
and the lamp was instantly broken. About 200 or
300 persons were then assembled. There was a
great deal of noise and shouting amongst them:
witness did not go from Mr. Wilson's house to see
the other ',arts of the town. lu about half an hour
the mob Caine again, and broke the door. The Pri-
soner was with them : witness did not hear him say
any thing at that time; he only saw that he was
busy among the crowd. This lasted altogether about
an hour and a hall—that is, till near ten o'clock at

-800 yards from the house of Wilson ; the mob were
then dispersing.
Mr. Gould re-ealisd.--Tl.e Defendant was
brought before I • as a Magistrate. The. Defend-
mist said, that some permit had pitt s cockade in his
hat in a drunken frolic. Thene was written iu his
hat, " Hunt and Litterts.." Witness did not see
the hat, but said to the Prisoorr that he had heard

far the prosecution bad adduced. In his Lordship's
opinion there could not he a clearer roe. but he telt
it to the Jury to pronounce their judgment 113/4111 It.
The 3 tory, in the course of five n l i 111 l tr.
turned a verdict of Guilty.
Ralph Wright, aged g 3, a silk-weaver of Mac-
clesfield. was then indicted, upon a sinitlar charge.
Mr. EVANS, his Counsel. said that he woolti
admit the evidence of Mr. Gouli, as :scittoced in
the former case, and any thing which related to
the general kind and quality of the riot ; by merely
required evidence as to the presence alt.! behcviour
of the Defenileut.
Witnesses were then called, who' denoted. that
the Defendant was smolt!! the crowd, and thaj he
encouraged them, by calling out,
that's your sort ; Gal speed the plough !" but he
did not commit any violence.
Mr. Samuel Stone, of M.cclesfieid. attorney Inc
the prosecution, said, that the Defendant had lately
returned front the mine, and that he Ind never ob.
I served any thing iinpmper in. his conduct before.
Thomas Wright, the Defendant's father, said.
Ithat his son had been in tie artillery ; that he was
at the battle of Waterloo. and •fierwart4 received
I a medal for his service'. (Tile Defendant wore the
medal in Court.) lie continued in tit- army tilt
about a year ago. He was • sober good lad, very
reveciful to his parents, and was as gnat a lad as
I ever was known. •
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, the only qtr.:-
tints" for the consideration of the Jury were, was the
Defendant present with the mob. and was he vet-
big with them ? Thie was clearly proved by
Naylor---and sinless the Jury' tfishtlievtd his
deuce, there could be no doubt as to the guilt of
the Defendant. .
The CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and said, that
this case was made out as clearly :14 the former.--
Whatever the character of the Defendant might
have been before, and at, and after* the battle of
Waterloo, it could not be taken into consideration
by the Jury; but it might weigh in the amount of
the sentence to be passed upon him, if the Jury
should find that he had acted with the mob.
The Jury returned a verdict of Gailly.

of it.
Mr. Flail re-called.—The Defendant was shout.
ing, and witness took him into custody, as he op-.
peered to be taking part with the rest. Witness
was at the Town-hall with the soldiers ; the inha-
bitants were much alarmed.
Cross.exasairred.—The Prisoner was making a
noise like a drunken man. The snob consisted
principally of mannfActurera, but there were some
weavers and others among them.
The examination of the Defendant was then put
in and read. Mr. Gould, the Magistrate, anal, that
no Mu** hesl been used to induce the Defendant
to sign it. It was as fallow.' Samuel Hcniern
says, he had Hunt and Liberty,' written on his list,
but did not shoot. May wrote the words on his
hat. Joseph Wilshaw was with hint when he went
into Cope's. Wilshaw ia sire• weaver." This was
the whole of it.
Mr. Hall re-callcd.—There was at that time no
local dispute between the mato crs +shit men in Mac-
clesfield, respecting wages.
The ATTORNEY-GS:NI:OAT. said, that this was
the case for the prosecution.
Mr. JONES then rose and addressed the Jury for
the Defendant.
The following witnesses were then examined :
J. Clown Orme said, he was a master-matinfae..
hirer sit Macclesfield: had known the Defendant
14 years ; he had lived aid) him and had worked
for him, and beets very attentive to his business.
The Defendant hail eo other connexion with the
silk trade, except in making the turnings; he al-
ways considered hint a very civil man. Ile saw hint
on the day in question, about three o'clock, when
lie was much in liquor. Ile never saw or heard
that the Defendant was against his King and coun-
try ; but quite the other way.
M. H. Corhishley lived at Macclesfield ; had
known the Defendant many sears; he worked for
him eight years. He considered him an hottest,
peaceable,. loyal man. -
The CHIEF JUSTICE then summed up the case
to the Jury. Ile said, that this was an indictment
for a misdemeanor, and it charged the Defendant
with a riot. The legal meaning of the word tint
was a disturbance of the public peace by three per-
sons or more aasembling together, of their awn au-
thority, to assist each other 111 some enterprise of a
private nature, and afterward' conducting themselves
in a tumultuous manner. The first witness in this
case was Mr. Naylor, who said, that Defendant was
among the crowd, hissing and shouting ; so that lie
was not in the assembly by any of those accidents
which the Learned Counsel for the defence had
suggested. He was among them, calling Mr.
Wilson " Cobbler !" by which it was evident that
he was taking an active part in the disturbance.
He encouraged the boys to throw stones, saying,
" Now, lads, go it !" Stones were then thrown.
A great part of the defence of the Learned Coun-
sel was, that the Defendant was a drunken ;tenon ;
but drunkenness was no excuse in law. If •
drunken man killed another, would it he allowed
or tolerated that he should set up that as an answer ?
A man in that situation was answerable for all he
did. The Defendant said, that they had injured him.
Who was meant by the word gentlemen had no
explanation in the course of the trial, but the
Learned Counsel had said something upon it.--
The Learned Counsel had contended with great
ability, which on all occasions he displayed, that
the Defendant might have been in the crowd
by accident. But what was his motive for
being there ? He disclosed it when he said,
" The gentlemen have injured me;' and then he
added, that the mob were under his control, and it
was clear that all which the others did was by his
instigation. When they were going to break the
lamp, the witness saw him reconnoitring. The
Learned Counsel asked, how could a man tell
that? Certainly, he might tell it very well, from
observing the conduct of the party. The Defend-
ant saw the door brisket), and the casements forced
in ; and yet, though lie said he could lead oil'
the mob, he took no steps to do it, but joined in
their proceedings. This took place after the mili-
tary were drawn away to another quarter, anal, no
doubt, the attack was made under that knowledge.
Fortunately for the preservation of Macclesfield
the gentlemen of that town assembled, and saved it
from destruction. As to the memorandum made by
Naylor, if it had contained any thing contradictory
of his evidence to-day, the Jury would have beard it
from the Learned Counsel.—[Mr. Jones here said,
" I did not read the paper."] —Then the Learned
Counsel must have believed what the witness said.
This case was proved by that witness, and by those
who followed hint. The next witness said, that six
men only were left to guard the baggage. T!os
first word he heard in the crowd seas " Cobbler !"
opposite the house of a word used in
hostility to Wilson ; and the first witness deposed,
that he heard the Defendant call cot " Cobbler !"
It was of no consequence whether he broke the
windows. and forced the door; he was with the
mob, and was answerable in law. Then there
were two witnesses, clearly proving the interfe-
rence of the Defendant, and his taking part with
the rest in the riot and disturbance, not op-
posed by evidence on the other side : it was only
said, that he was drunk. The law of England ad-
mitted of no such defence. Suppose they had all
been drunk, and had burnt :Macclesfield to the
ground, and killed all the inhabitants, would the
Learned Centime' have them excused on that ac-
count? All the witnesses confirmed the videsice of
Naylor, that the Defendant was taking an active
part ; and the Jury must mint find • verdict of ac-
quittal, even if they thought he was intoxicated, ton•
less they discredited the evidence which the Counsel

Cross-examined by Mr. JONPS, the Recorder of
Chester.—Had known the Defendant six years ; he
was a wood-turner by trade. The witness was in
the crowd from the cotninencernent of the rio!.
Two or three times he was away for a minute or
two, and had conversation with several persons—
about half a dozen individuals; Joseph Farnyhough
was one, and Mr. Gee another. He could not now
tell the names of all the six persons to whom he
spoke that night. He did nut know that he should
have to answer errthist:' Ile had reduced the con-
versations to writing soon after, and had that paper
now in his pocket.
Mr. JONES desired to see it.
Mr. Justice MARSHALL thought thatibeLearned
Counsel could not exit for the paper, as the witness
had not produced it in evidence; he had made the
memorandum merely to refresh his memory, and
had rot now made use of it.
Mr. JONES paid, he had never heard it doubted
that when a man lard made a memorundirm
in
writing of conversations at the time, it was compe-
tent fur the Counsel fur the Defendant to look at
ii, in order to check theAvidriste of the witness at
the trial, by comparing it with what he had formerly
written.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, the witness bad
not said one word about the paper; but if the
Learned Counsel called for it, he would out object,
, and then it must be read of,coarse.
Mr. Jones observed, that Ile must make it part of
his defence to raise a contradiction in the evidence.
He could not for a moment conceive that he was
acting won* Was he to use it or not ?
The COURT—" If it be used at all, it must be
read in evidence."
The paper was then handed to Mr. Jones, who,
however, did not read it.
Cross-examination continued.—The witness made
the memos sisdum at his own suggestion, after he had
given evidence before the Magistrate. There was
a great commotion in the town. Many were there
from curiosity—others from alarm for their pro-
perty. Witness's object was to obtain information
so as to protect the property of his master. The
Defendant appeared to be drunk. Ile said, that if
they (the Gentlemen) would give • quart of ale
each, he would take home the crowd. There might
i be 500 people there at that time.
Roland Gould, Esq. one of the corporate Ma-
gistrates in Macclesfield, said, he remembered the
numerous Meeting at Manchester on Monday, the
16th of August. On the Tuesday evening there
were only six men of the 31st regiment its Maccles-
field. They were stationed in the Town-hall to
take care of the baggage. He did not know of
what the baggage consisted ; lie did not see any
arms. On Tuesday evening, about eight o'clock,
a great many people assembled together. They did
not then appear disposed to riot. He thought they
were assembled merely to learn news from Manches-
ter. They had done so oil the Monday evening, and
afterwards dispersed very quietly. On the Tuesday
evening, the first disposition to riot which he saw,
was their crying out " Cobbler!" opposite Mr.
Wilson's house. He did not see the Defendant
among them at all. As soon as he heard them call
" Cobbler!" he thoughtasa Magistrate, that it was
proper to read the Riot Act. There were about
three or four hundred people opposite the house
when they called " Cobbler !" They had been
collected about half an hour before the Riot
Act was read. When the Act had been reed, the-
Magistrates deemed it expedient to get as many
horsemen as they could ; they got some horses, and
sallied forth immediately upon the mob. The wit-
ness himself got pretty writ 011. They threw stones
at the Mayor, at the witness, and at others; in
about an hour and a half after they dispersed the
mob. The rioters broke the windows of Mr. Grims-
ditch, the attorney ; of Mr. Barnet, a special cols-
stable ; of the hotel-keeper; of the witness; of the
Mayor ; of the news-room, and of a great many
others, about thirty or forty altogether. The peace-
able inhabitants were very much alarmed ; he did
not hear any words used except " Cobbler !" but
there were other expressions.
NVilliam Hall, a silk-mantifecturer, at. Maccles-
field, said, he gave his assistance oss the 17th to the
Magistrates, by order of the Mayor. lie saw the
Defendant in Mill-street about ten o'clock, and
took him into custody. He was then about 700 or

glass.

said.
Mr. DAVID EVANS repeated to the Jury the
substance of the indictment.
The ATTORNEY-GIINERAL (Mr. Benyon) then
detailed the case :—" Gentlemen of the Jury, this
indictment charges the Defendant with the offence
of a misdemeanor, in having riotously assembled, in
company with other*, to the number of 200 and
more, at Macclesfield; and had it not been for the
leniency of the Prosecutor, I have nu hesitation in
saying, that the Defendant would now have been
indicted lwfure you for a capital offence. I repeat,
Gentlemen, that it is entirely owing to the le-
oiency of the Prosecutor that the Defendant now
appears before you charged only with a misde-
meanor. By the Act of George 1., commonly
called " The Riot Act," it is enacted, that if a
multitude riotously and tumultuously assemble, and
do not disperse in one hour after orders to that
effect from one Magistrate, then the parties per-
sisting so to meet are guilty of felony without
benefit or clergy. But, Gentlemen, in the hope
that the example of your verdict against him will
he salutary, lie luso not been proceeded against
under that clause, and, as I have before stated, is
now indicted merely for the misdemeanor. A
riot, taviitlemeil, is defined to be a tumultuous
. assembly of three or more persons, with one cont.
mon object of an unlawful nature in view ; and that
this was the case with respect to the Defendant, I
think I can satiafacturily skew to you. 'Chia
iudiia-
ment has its origin in the present disturbed state of
the northern districts of this county ; end I have no
doubt that, out of the twelve Gentlemen who coin-
Imre the Jury, some of you are well acquainted
with the circumstances to which I allude, and Fro-
biddy some of you may be resident* of Nisei:les-
held null its neighbourhood. It will be, there-
fore, quite tttttt ece-sary to enter into a detail of
the Particular Pieta to which the origin of this riot
mar be attri'iiited."
The following witnesses were then called :
Mr. Samuel Naylor, • printer, in the employ of
Mr. Wilson, Editor of the 31raccle.Vield t our, ier,
deposed, that about the 16th of August some mili-
tary were quartered at !Macclesfield. Oo the 17th
they left it, except two or three, to go to Man-
chester. The corps of Macclesfield yeomanry,
commanded by Sir John Fleming twyceater, Bart.
had also left the town. lie knew the Defendant,
who lived in Macclesfield. On the 17th August was
at his master's house. There was a great crowd
opposite to it, upwards of one hundred persons ;
the Defendant was among them. .1 hey marched
