Mr. Hulton, from the Bench said, I did not tel' you en; but
that before the charge against you could be ultiniawly shaped,
the t:oroner's verdicts must be known.

Mr. Norrts—Alouri.uuse 1 aball reel it my duty to remand you

Mr. Milne called over the Allies of the witnesses. whose writ-
ten depositions he held. On putting the book into the hand of
else first, Hunt di:sir:ll lie might he examined alone. and the rest
ordered to leave the Court. Mr. !touchier said he should not
object w this.
Many questions were put by Hunt to another of the witnesses,
several id wilich the Court, overruled. On one being objected to.
Him: said. in a loud energetic voice. I demand it as an act of
justice.—M:. Norris: When you make a requeet, we understand
that you make it as a demand, and as a British subject. The

Maw put a question to him at the same time. Hunt was very
passionate with r. Jfilneat the interruption. Mr. Norris stopped
him, and altid he would allow no intimidation. a question
Which Hunt put to the same witness. the witness said he did not

humanity.
Hunt—This, after twelv! days' aolitary confinement!
A,ter the wi.ole of the evidence had been lead, Hunt said to
the Brach; May Ibe permitted to ask who is the prosecutor ?
Mr. Norris : Tire Crown. Hunt ; Ica person ?—Mr. Nortis: The

THE NATIONAL ItEGIgTEIL

Solicitor of the Treasury is here.—Aunts nine name.—Ste.
ikinchier t I mast know the name of the
prosecutor. as I linty have °cession to biting an action I
Afr. Norris: Mr. Botschier bats been went by the Crown.—
Hunt : I wish to know who is the responsible person, in order !
that if it should turn out that after being eleven days confined)
I have committed no oKnce, some one may be mode fee-
ponsib:e.
Mr. Norris I take it, that those who have !loom to the parti-
culJr facts are ib the present instance responsible.
H ant t Nut brit not neces:ary that there shook be a prosecutor?
Mr. Nutria. Ire Crown pros.outes :if du:cellar any particular
frostoutor. it must be the Aitoniey General.
Mr.. 14 un • then addressed the Bench to the following effect :
" I know that I em now addressing the sante magistrates who
took the find depositions agi.inst me: but tiller that evidence,
and the amend:el evidence. has been read. is it for them, sitting
as his alajosty's Judices, to adminiaterjustice.—l hope, and do
not doubt, they will dismiss from node minds all pre,mitce, and
and act upon the evidence. Some witnesses say that those bodies
%%MA came from the country came in military array, but they
could not explain what they meant by military array. Some
say they cause with sticks. One says, they were so far in •
Lary array as to have dabs at their left breasts, similar to mus-
kets. But they all agree that hone of them dill any act to inti-
midate. Can the magistrates say we should be committed on
such eviilencelor a inisoerneatiour.after eleven dayecontionnent?
Is not this a sufficient punishment for any offence that we have
COMITIII TlO ? The eyes of all'England are fiver, upon this matter.
I stand here with a conviction that I have acted rightly ; but it is
doubtful whether those who beer me have that conviction. The
Country is in a very agitated state, and will boin more agitated
state till this question is settled. Are you-non this evidence to
send us back tasolitary confinement? (Mr. Morris: No.) One
of the magistrates whom I do not now see told merdi the blood
that had been shed must be set to my account. After having
been remanded for tieason—after having been held up to the
country He it traitor—and after haring been committed on that
charge. and now there being no evidence offned to support it, I
appeal to you to lay aside all ptivate feelings. (Here there was
applause in Court.)
Mr. Nonis: No tumult shall be made ; if there is I shall
commit thefiarties guilty of it.
Hunt : There is no attempt on my part to make tumult ; the
man who makea any disturbance is my personal enemy.
Hunt resumed. I expected to have stood here tin a much
greater charge—on a charge of high treason; and I have also
been chargell with murder. I submit to you there has not been
one particle of evidence of these. Many of these prisoners
I never saw till they came into the box. i admit that I
did attend the meeting for the purpose of addressing it, conai •
dering the laws of the country allowed me. I did not consider it
as a matter of pleasure, but on the contrary, a painful duty.
.Having had the honour to )-resent to the Secretary of State,
Remonstrances from other meetings, thro' him to be laid before
the Prince Regent, it was intended a Remonstrance of a similar
nature should be sent font this meeting. It was the unanimous
opinion of those concerned in this meeting, that we should nut
imitate Birroitoshant. The proclamation bad pronounced that
object illegal ; and though I did not think it at first illegal, yet
I in m 7 opinion it was foolish.
Without three months' notice given to all the inhabitants. I.
as Chairman, would not have put such a question ; and it was
entirely given up, even if the meeting on the 9th had been
held; and we hare most respectable evidence of it, from men of
as much property and respect. bility as any in this Court. The
resolutions intendeddo have been propo -cd were lost in the late
bustle. Hut it still be proved it was unsoiled to convey, certainly,
a strong vote of censure on Lord Sidnieuth for refusing to pre-
sent peudons from Manchester and Stockport; and then a
solemn appeal to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, to take
into consideration the distressed state of the country, and renew
the connection between the people and the throne.
I shall not stust to my feelings as to what took place on dis-
persing the meeting ; it would be much better if regent portion
of that were buried in oblivion. Upon this evidence, I beg that
you will not commit. Will you throw down the apple of discord
for perpetual contention, and conunue the people in agitation ?
(here the Bench inte.trohted hint).
Mr. Norris: your language is now improper.—What account
of this you may have to Haiku must be conveyed to Powers higher
than ourselves. If the Country were in tenfold the agitation you
speak of. I and my Brethren should do our duty.
Hunt resumed : I did not meaty° throw out any imputation,
nor ask airy thing 44 a boon. but I demand named ; jeer will I
accept any favour. I autainly did ask ;he Governor whether I
might be permitted to walk in the garden. but the moment I
knew Mr. Johnson hatl been refusedby the Magiattates, I would
have sawed off my right hand before I would bare gone into it!

trsctable man, to see.Nl r• delinson ; and it' necessary for him to

witted this.)
Hoot resumed—l must say I suffered much bodily pain from
the Wows of the constables and from sabres. They are visible. I
scorned to tell tl.e Docuvr Of it. My health certainly has. by my
apprehension and confinement, been preserved • the exertions I
should have made to keep that fleeting quiet, would have affec-
ted or. for years. I have slept on a bed such as I would not
have put my servants:en ; but. thank God, I have slept well and
have suffered nothing, bot from the recollection of my felkiw psi.
soners, and the mangled creatures cut to death. 1 have no cow •
plaint to make against the jailor, aior of the air of the jail.
Moorhonse---As the law presumes persona innocent until con-
victed. I beg to say we ought to w+ used as well w possible, while
we are kept in prison.
Mr. Norris: You may all of you have Ind.
Nloorliouse: When.biought up here before, I was warm, and
cordocted tnysell in a way for which I am lather sorry.
The Magistrates then withdrew.
On their resort. Mr. Norris aie : d Henry Hoot, and you all:

we sent for 3I r. Boychier in order that We might akain care-
fully peruse the depositions.—lt is a most painful duty to me to
commit you for I:onspiracy. We can. however, lay our hands
on our hearts and say, "we have done our duty." As to the
charge of l'onspiracy, though you might not have been altoge-
ther presiou.•ly to the Meeting. yet in the eye of the law all those
who commit separate acts, tending to one illegal objectofre guilty
of that crime. Coupling the too Nleetin,s, together, taking
tino consideration the manner in which the last was fie-ciao:ad,
with such insignia, find under such demonst►ations, with the
black sl4g. the bloody dagger, the words equal representation, or
deaths—the Loosing in a threatening manlier under these harmers
—these were a direct shewing that the merthrow of the Govern-
ment was unasealaWy contemplated. No discussion could be
had, where that flag was; intimidation was its direct object. The
charge now i 3, ••that of having conspned to alter the law by
force and threats." It is an illegal procedure sufficiently made
put; and calls upon its imperatisely to commit you fur trial be-
fore a proper tribnnal. It is now my painful duty to commit
you to Lancs.ter Castle.
last night buil nut bring produced, Henry Hunt, Rolm Jones
Joseph (nr. Ilealey.Gtorge Salta, J. 'l'. Saxton. Sam. Bamford
Robert Wild, mid Jcian Knight, were sent off 'o Lancaster Castle
committed to take their trial at the eurning Assizes. Joseph
Johnson was admitted to. bail. himself in WIWI. and two total, s

amount for the others. Johnson was home home on men's shout•
ders, followed by a rabble of women and boys. l'ttoorhouse is

many said he would not leave its walls without a premium of
thirty thousand pounds I Others said the Duke of York VidS
coining down to set him free. So little right apprehension, had
the populace of Hunt's actual condition, and what a sober-minded
tenacious uir.K the law of the land is. They could not undetstand
that the crime of Conspiracy has any tenors in it.

When the hearing had concluded, the magistrates left the beech
to consult ammo theirszlves, and .Ir. !touchier quitted the
Court; presently he returned, when Mr. Hunt address. d
saying he leattll he hail been out with the tuagistraus, and itc.is-
tett upon his remaining in Court, unless his our. solicitor ('dr.
l'earaon. of London) was permitted aloe to be present. Mr.
Ilouchier then resumed Ins place in Court. Mr. Hunt's bail
was fixed by the magistrates at Wool. for hirnstif, and two sure.
till at 5001. each, and the magistrates stated that they should be
willing to take it at any reasonable time in the course of the even-
ing. It was understood that notice of bail was: iscinediately gi-
ven, but this was not true, respecting Mr. Hunt. Same 6
o'clock, Mr. Hunt and some of toe ptieutiers were on the road to
Lancaster, under an escort in Dragoons. 'flint measure excited
great surprise, and was considered by the populace (who knew
not that Mr. Hunt had refused to give bail) as exhibiting an ap-
pearance of being founded on p..r,onal dislike.
When the magistrate were w-ited upon in the course of{'{the
evening with bail, they excused themselves on tome ground cr
other hour attending to business that night, and fixed 32 o'clock
this day fur receiving the bath. Accordingly, about that time,
Mr. Euniund Grundy of l'ilsworth, and Mr. Thomas Chapman,
a Manchester, were received as his sureties, with the approba-
tion of 11r. liouclier. When that gentle'. an had quitted the
Coutt, I understand Mr. Hunt's faientis applied for an order for
his discharge. *Loch the magistrates reload, under the pretext
they could nut grant it without the sanction of the Solicitor to
the Treasury, who had then quitted the Court. Mr. Pearson
wits therefore under the necessity of going in quest of him, and
having obtained his cur:sent tier .Nlr. Ilunt's discharge, the ma-
tes acceded to it, and Mr. Chapman, I hear, set Whim

Norfolk Agricultural lleporl.—We hare had the finest
weather imaginable thoonthout the last month, and it
has enabled us to get in nearly the whole of the Corn in
must excellent order. There has bot been even half a
Jay's interruption on account tit weather, and such a
harvest has not been iemembtred fur many leant. Last
year, to be sure, may he said to form all exception to
this assertion; hut it will be remembered that in hulk
there was then considerably less than now ;.consemtetit-
ly, that less time and labour were required to get tip the
crop. As to the quality, (as far as we have yet been
enabled to forty an opi iiiii it) ace lIIIISL decidedly give the
preference to that of last year. Wheat it ,lot generally
so even and bright in the sample, nor will it he a casting

was) that it had been occasioned by a apecies of mildew,
