NEW BAILEY COURT.

FURTHER INVESTIGATION ON THE CHARGE OF

FELONY AGAINST MEAGHER.

About half past tell o'clock this slay the investigation was
remained; Mr. iVright, as before, bring alone nu the Reticle.
Juhu Bradhrrry, watchman, wa■ at about 40 yards from
the corner of Queen-street; beard the shot on the night of
the 211 October, al t haltpast twelve, and observed upon
it to a woman in the street. There were oat more persons
in /Jtansgate than listen, on a Saturday night ; nor did I sue
any Summit or nut berme the shut ; I heard a second shot ;
I saw Mr. Nadia, who directed ns to disperse the crowd ;
saw no persons collected round Meagher's house until the
shot was fired.

Cross-exantined by Mr. Foulkes—Witness could not yen.
tare to say there were nut some persons in trout of Mraglier's
house, whom he could not see from the sitnatiou in which be
stood. My attention was first drawn to Meacliev's house by
the fire. I cannot tell as to what happened lire minutes
bCfore the fire. I was about fire minutes before in (buit-
street, whets I heard the tire. After the fire there acme peo-
ple collected opposite Meacher's house.
Item 'omitted by Mr. Atkinson—About a quarter before
one, this m c, the Watch and Ward writ passiog my
stand, when they--
Mr. Foulkes ob. d, that if there were any charge
grains! the ‘Vatch sad Wan:, who were Mil of respecta-
bility, they should have previous notice of it.
The Magistrate concurred iu this observation, and the re-
exaraininun was abin.loned.

George Wyo., wateltinan-1 was on duly on the 2J of
October ; 1 sw the prisoner about 12 i.'elittls iu Deamigate,
at Spintalog.fleld tool ; there were two trim near him ; I
eanuot say they were talkiug to lom. Juhu Lutigworth,
tiMither watchmau, was with me; he is sick in bad; 1 saw
him on Sunday morning, and he was eery bad. 1 did nut
hear the prisoner say soy thing. laingworth bid the prim.
wer to go home. About a quarter of au huur after 1 heard
the watchmaii's rattle. There was no dist minium when I
saw Meagher; it was about the time of shutting tip public.
huostril, when inlay people are usually coming out; but
although several people were in the street there was uu rough
work or disturbance.

Olsen-examined by Mr. Barrow—l am a painter, and
gerund ur third cousin to Mr. Irrue, of The (11)%ereer "hire.
Loogssurth in so in that he cannot Curer down, so his wife
told me shill; mottling. Lutigwurtls has bad orders to be
here.

Mr. Atkinson said, that he had taken Longworth's exami-
nation, mot was anxious fur his presence. He has had
sutlers.

tt'itness resumed—Longwortb :me as a reason forbidding
the prisoner to goi home, that he (the prisoner) had been
making some disturbance, bolt I did not hear it. I cannot
tell what sort of disturbance Meagher hail beets making be-
fore longworth spoke to him. Luiigworlh is not remark-
abie for desiring people to go home. He is always anxious
to keep the streets quiet. and to do his duty. I did not hear
of any coniplaint num Nleagher to I.ongworth —lMr. Bar-
row pot sonic questious to the willies, about having hi■
pocket picked, hut Mr. A tkinsou objecting to the question as
orelevaid, the Magiatiate decided against it.]-ISaitye, the
beadle, never roused me from sleep any time oo the night of
the second of October, before the shots were fired by the
prisoner, nor from eleven o'clock until three that night.
I.tongivorlh and I base different districts adjoining each
other iu Deansgate. I was not above four minutes talking
with Longwurils opposite the Red Lion puldoc-house, about
twelve o'clock. I was not in that house in the course of that
night. I went to the Castle Inn to get a min lodging. I
slopped there about a quarter of an hour. He gave me
something to drink. Marine the four minutes I was speak-
ing to Luagworth, I remarked to bins that the streets were
remarkably quiet.
Mr. Wright—This watchman dues not appprar to be on
his duty.
Witness resumed—Duriug the quarter of au hour that I
was absent at the Castle 100, there might have been some
disturbance about Meagher's house. The rattles were spring-
in; when I Mlle out of the Castle Inn. There were many
people in the street when I came ; they were fain; the
two wounded men away. Longa/11rib was there when I came
up. Tbusr men were wounded when I tame up. I dud not
hear any shots fired. I was not near Bradbury when the
*hots were fired. There were many people in the street after
the public-houses were cleared; they were passing and re-
passing.
Re-examined by Mr. Atkinson—Poynton, the beadle,
t►reatened un Thursday night to do me a private injury.
He asked me, was I going against the trumpeter 1 said 1
Wilt, and that I would tell the truth.

Mr. Filike% objected to these interrogatoriev ; and os Mr.
Aikinsou's aakiux whether it was meant to examine Poynton,
Foulkes wcred in the negative. Therefure•Mr. Atkinson
prettied no further questions, but ob d upon the highly
improper iiiterpointiou of nay policemMeer to intimidate a
witness, or to impede the adiniuistration of ju•tice.

liesjamin Batty., a podice-man, deposed, that on the Si.
turday nitlit, of the 2d of October, be saw Wroe, the last
wittier., about a quarter after twelve, siding ou steps at the
turner of Brazennose-street. I do not recollect what I said
to him. I believe I told him to get up, lest the Captain of
the Watch should see him silting. I said so, because I saw
that hr had had some liquor.
James Mather, labourer, deposed—l am door-keeper to
Mr. Nlarryatt, cottuu-spiuntr. I was returning bootie ■ little
after twelve, an the Saturday, 24 October, and I saw a few

which he had been guilty in the fore part of the night. He
was leaning oat of the window with a pistol is his hand, and
I heard him say tbeint words, " If you do not go about your
busimpsa, I'll fire upon you." I directly walked ou to the
end of earli•inesit-street,and missing my brother-is-law from
my aide, I turned back a little, and taw him talking to soma

BRUI S 1-1. PIES S.

Auttor had anticipated the aLove determination of
Ministers to meet our preseit &tigers by an in-
crease of the army
" I have spoken just nnr► of inevitable results
I mean, Sir, by that expression; the ucist.Ltots
which is going to ezpkde. The metropolitan press
and vebelliou—onder the present system, at least

—are natural cause and effect; and if your Royal
Divliness or your Ministers, have any remaining
doubts upon this subject, they will soon be deplor-
ably restored. Things have reached their climax :
but • REVOLUTION will either be prevented or in-
duced, according u the MIDDLE RANKS bestir
themselves during the REBELLION. If your de-
pendence is placed upon your ARMY alone, for
the suppression of a general insurrection, your
expectations will be d:sappointed. It is idle to sup-
pose that the army will draw • single sword apinst
the collective sense of the nation. 11'hatever
may he the Duke of WELLINGTON'S sentiments
(and • rumour is gone abroad that his Grace's voice
in the Cabinet turned the scale, on a late interesting
division, where it was no glory to turn it !) he will
sot find his troops so ready to obey him, when the
charge is against British bosoms, and the word of
commend the signal for a genera/ fratricide. The
reapers will not go forth to such a Codtneean har-
vest !—Besider, the men themselves are no longer
the same individuals that they were four years ago,
flushed with conquest, and inebriated-with blood.
Peaceably domiciliated swot% their friends, they
have till this while been gradually collapsing into
their civil character; and to a great degree, they
have become amalgamated with the people.
The press, also, must have had its necessary
influence upon them; since • principal branch of
its circulation has been running among their imme-
diate relatives and connexions. So that they can-
not have escaped its contaminating effects any more
than the people; although their habitual subjection
to command, and their ideas ever reverting to dis-
cipline, would naturally hold out u longer siege
against the incursions of the poison.
" On no military movement, then, unsupported
by the great class of the MIDDLE RANKS, rail yore
Royal Flightless place the least reliance, or hop,
from it the smallest advantage. Our salvation is
in OURSELVES alone. We must effect the best issue
that we can, to a contest no longer avoidable ; and
I hope, Sir, we shall not he slow, in this tremen-
dous crisis, to rally round the fairest political edi-
fice that ever yet human ingenuity raised up, and
mankind admired !—I could place in a yet stronger
, light, Sir, the futility oltrusting to your soldiers,
without the countenance of your people : hut, I
think, I have done it sufficiently.
" With a heating heart, I am now going to
touch upon n subject, which, when 1 sat down to
athletes your Royal Highness, I had determintd
not to disturb; but my feelings carry me away. I
have heard, since I began this letter, that it is the
fixed resolution of Ministers to make no concession

upon THAT point. But it will be at their peril,
Sir, so to disregard the voice of the people, and to
confound it with radical clamour'. The Govern.
meat, and those who judge it, are at issue upon
many points, the carrying of which would be of
much more lasting political importance and benefit
to the country : such are Triennial Parliaments,
for instance, which 1 spoke of to Lord lIERTFORH;
and the disfranchising of such boroughs as (aton
and Old Sarum. and such obnoxious anomalies as
Cottle Castle; together with one or two other of the
desirable deknda of moderate reform.
" But all this, and ten times more than ever was
asked, or expected, might now he conceded in vain,
There is a bone of contention between the people
and the Government, about which—with the ex-
ception of the interested parties—there is but
one prevailing opinion: and however the timid,
and those who hate extremities, may be disposed to
sacrifice against their consciences, the MULTITUDI
is too mach irritated ever to listen to any seems-
noodstion, short of the most signal jastice. The
pertinacity with which Ministers continue to refuse
this. has brought all the mischief to a head : but it
is a moral impossibility to elude it long.
