Mr. BRITON (Attorney-(llieral for Chester) oesaineseed
his reply...." Gentlemen of the Joey, I now beg leave to en.
treat your ideation while I reply to the observations made
by the decedents, and offer ro' continents us the evidence
as the nature of my case demands. We must first, Geode-
'nee, recur to the charge made spigot the defenilaste, for it
has bees oodeavuered to pat a different iuterinetatioa
on it, (mai that which it requires; sod we shall aloe
have to consider the legality of one of the coasts of
the indictment, to which some objections have ken taken
by the Learned Gomel for Sir Charles Wolseley. We
have alleged, Gra, that these parties asseaslikd an on.
lawful assembly, an reperably calculated to disturb she
public peace, sod by differed mass to elicits I. the
minds of the people a contempt sad hatred of the Go-
verneseut and Constitution of Ike realm as by law establish.
ed. This general 'illegalities appears to me to toenails two
uffireoes--first, that of assemblies au uslawhil assembly;
▪ secondly, by seditious words sad other moans hackies
the people to costempt mid hotrod of the Coneitutina as
by low established. My Lewd relsod hoc llontleillb,
tiiileammared to impress it o four aka', that the ammo.
bly was not unlawful, became sot so stated ota the records
because it did rot appear that it was he terror of the
people, and that it was not proved in evidence to have
any tendency of that notary. Bat it la not became
people of nerve were not alarmed that it may therefore
he pronounced trot unlawful. if the number of people was
so great; if they had wespoes is their kends; if they
were attended by such basses and insigais, as must as.
htrally produce terrog—if all this be proved in evidence,
then the meeting at Stockport was unlawful. If ever there
wee a tumultuous assembly, it is that to which our atteation
has been attracted yesterday and this day. The Leanied Cos a-
mei fur the Defendants made several allusions to the trial of
Mr. Hoot at York, and I did mil attempt to stop him. But
whatever was dose at York, the Juries of Chester have
molting whatever to do with it. tam obliged to the Learn-
ed COWIN!' for his mention of the case of the King and
Hurt, and I say, if that were a case for conviction, she
woe before es is les times stronger. Hunt was taken
from the meeting at Manchester before be spoke. Here,
seditious words have been used; this meeting had costa-
derably more terror in it, sold, its short, it has every
use concomitant circumitarce, with one exception, namely,
that here seditious words were actually used. If, them,
we are to call to need what was doom by others et that
iseeetiug, we find she case ten times stronger as to this.
Hawkins, and other leeward authorities, have been cited as
to the legality of owe of the acts charged in the indictment ;
with that you have nothiser to do. There seems to ma no
necessity fur dividing the ease, the facts of it are perfectly
clear before you. With respect to the legality of the meet.
ins, one may say it was assembled ender the specious pretext
of petitioning fee Parliamentary Reform. Parliamentary
Reform! I check myself; foe though many of these unhappy
meetings were assembled under sorb apparent motives, the
mask was here completely thieve off, mod there was no maw
who beard of the meeting of the 28th June, but must beer
that it had no more to do with petitioning for Reform
than it bad with soy other porpoise that the imagination of
man could suggest. In this cam the defeadaats stood toge-
ther un the beatings-4hr, were each participator, in the
whole of the proceedinp, sod if any thing unpleasant to Sir
C. Welseley had occurred, if he filmed be was net in goal
company, would not he have left them ? He gave his com-
plete assn) to whatever was said by Maniere; and if the
Iseguage used by him was seditious la its nature' Sir Chas.
Wolsrley was' in peat of law, equally guilty with the per-
use who uttered it. The meeting was also attended with
