with the design of violating the law, aid only one
of them was actually guilty of the act. jet ell thee,
who were percent at the time were in the eye of the
law equally guilty. If, under inch circumstances,
one of the parties committed murder, for instance,
all the rest would be considered as murderers.—'
Thit he only stated for the purpose of reminding
t4eelury. that if every ore of the pre-omenat the
r not he proeeJato have been actively cos-
eerhed iu the riot, yet if they were all fouipd- to have
filreied a part of the assemblage, they onght to be
Ltitally deemed guilty orthe not. The prisoners
reel many different ages, and some of them very
young; all lie sLoulti have to say on this sithjecn,
was, that if they were at years of discretion, how-
ever young, they were and ought to be amenable to
the haws. Neither did be think that Corerunteet
.had,acted wrong in selecting some of the female
'sex, as objects of prosecution. We all know-that
women are atpable ofeloitig great evil, especially at
sue!, titnes. They were well known to have been
.partiedhulv active en the riots iu London; in 17e0 ;
sal-therefore it was necessary to *hew, that even
women could oat be guilty of' such acts with =pow
Hit!. The qiiestion for the Jury to determine was,
whether three iwrsens had assembled tretether to
disturb the peat eof the country ? ar.d if they hada .
they insist find them guilty. The qrantnns of pti-
nishment would be in the-breast of th... Judie ; and
he hoped, if theyescreronrieted., it irotiftlbe thought
easy even to the prisoners themselves.' If Gavenn-
meut had not been very lenient, they might at this
eminent hate stood ins very derereut and more ties

but though they knew that a quantity of meal was

it), yet which of them. had attempted to touch u

that during the summer there had been great dis-
tress in the manufacturiqg couptries for wain of
bread ; and it was oaly to be wondered at, that
alma a greet number of people, suffering under
severe prwatious, got together. they should have

that they did nut kuow with whom the misfortunes

They must know that their sufferings were all
owing to that tyrannical little gentleman, on the

however, that his career was about to be stopped,
and that the Spaniards would teach him to remem-

and appearance of the Prisoners, and asked the
Jury if such persons were likely to head a snob ?
They were moth fitter for playing at ball. The
girls had joined the rest for a little recreation, dud
perhaps to meet their lovers, se young people gene-
rally do on such occasions. As to what laid passed
about the dearness of bread, it was natural to ex-

The Jenne proceeded to charge the Jure ; and

assembled together to disturb the King's peace,
this constituted a riot; and that, if, in an assembly'

he elan observed, that it should be to the diaturii-

evidence, which he thought fully established the
Prisoners to have been guilty of a riot. For, al-
