COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WuTimms,
TIIIIII.IIIDAT, M•t 2.

THE MANCHESTER CASE.
RV/FORD "ti. MILEY AND °THUS.
This morning Mr. Justice HOLNOND finished midis( his
races of the esideuce given at the tr al of this ease at Ise-
curer. After which his Lntdship stated to the Court the
outlines of his charge to the Jail.
The Loan CAMJv.Ttca said, that he thought it was
perfectly manifest there was no foundation for the motion
for a new trial. On the first point on wbts•h a new trial was
Wowed, namely, that the Learned Judge bad rejected evi-.
deuce which he ought to have received, hit Lordship could
not see how the evidence which was rejected was cowrie;
if It were so, the Counsel should have offered such argu-
ments as appeared to him to be proper, sod should have
reisested the Learned Judge, as was usual, in take a note
of his objection; but it did not appear that any thing of that
bled had been done in the present instance, and it would
be an extremely inconvenient practice, if, on a mire *men-
tion of Coanael, that be had such and sock evidence to offer,
ala 4 which being objected to, he acquiesces, that be should
afterward. be permitted to make it the ground of so appli-
cation for a new trial. On this point, therefore, it did not
appear there was an• foundation for the motion. The d
finial was, that eridenee for the Defewlaiit had been le-
vistaed which was inadmissible. The evidence, it appeared
by Hai Learned Judge's Maim, wmahjected to by the Learned
Comsitel for ' ••• of declaratioos of

■t the time of the messing, sod •Ism as to what was said
aotvordent to the meeting by some of the persons engaged
Jo it, sad also expresaiosikused by parties.. they were wog
to the meeting. Now one Grilse pleas was, that a conspiracy
extsied before This meeting; another plea was, that this
was a riotous and unlawful assembly, exciting terror and
Worm It was impossible, in such pleas and issuejuined,
that the evidence of antecedent acts and speeches should not

of Ms: Hunt's first vial to Manchester, where be was compass-
livery stranger, not having any connexion with it by birth or
trade, that there was as exhibition on the part of the people
to 'act the constituted 'who. ities at defiance, sad a well-
founded alarm on the part of the Magistrates for the peace
of the woo If ill this wee proper to be received's/oWe**
evidence of speeches and gets of persons going to t►is meet-
leg, was ',ideate of the real ititeut of that meeting. Doubt-
les., in meeting. of this kind persons would go fur different
objech; some from cork/Si'', I,olllr with • desire to get re.-
dress for grievances richer real or imaginary, and some merit-
rating mischief, with the iateestion, perhaps, that those who
boa already received a drilling without arms should there
advance • step farther in -military education, and be exer-
cised with arms. For these rea•ous, he thought the evideoce
bid been properly received. The t►ird point on which the
application fur • new trial rested wee, a misdirection on the
part of the L d Judge. His Lordship thought that the
Learned Judge could nut but put it as • yuestio■ to the
lery,selsether the Plaintiff was wousded or out ; the Learned
Counsel for the Defendant goestioned it, sod the evidence
of the mita who said be saw the blow struck was certainly
extraordinary It was said to be a sabre wound, yet no
nurse or surgeon was examined, MK any (rimed who bad seen
the wound. There was certatnly, theerture, ground enough
to make it fit and proper in the Learned Judge to direct the
attention of the Jury to that point. On the other polo'
efropposed misdirection, his Lordship was equally clear the
Learned Judge had acted most eurreetly in the discharge of
bia duty. AOollbef palatine which • new trial was sought
was, that the verdict was against evidence; ■ad ►ere his
Lordlllop could not bat entree/ his surprise that soy per-
son's zeal could bare so misled him as to imagine that on
reading the evidence the Court could come to that conclusion.
it seemed to him, looking ■t the evidence, that the
Magistrates had acted moat properly ; for if they hail aot
put an cad to this alerting, no seas could venture to say
that Mairclietter email have been safe for that night. If
io the riot of 1780, a tenth part of .bat was dune six or
seven days after it commenced had been door on the first
day, a great part of the mischief would have been pry-
vested, sod therefore it was • moat important duty of
the Magistrates to adopt men. f prevention. At the
close of the Learned Counsel's address, he had treated it se •
decided plan of the Magistrates to let in the military on the
people, bet there was oo evidence to jost ify that imputation;
on the contrary, all that bad bees done on the part of the
Magistrates had bees done lawfully, firmly, sod temperately,
arid instead of repreben►i•s they were eutitled to the thetas,
and gratitude of the community.
Mr. Justice Ilairt.sT mirror opinion also that there sus
BO ground for granting a sew trial, on any of the pots'ss
urged by the Plaintiff; lie thought the verdict amply wain.
ranted by the evidence is the case.
Mr. Justice Diet was of tbe'same opinion.
Rule refused.
