HICM TREASON.

OLD BAILEY. I'. ItIDAY, APRIL 21.
TRIAL OF JANIES
The Court ntet this morning, pursuant to adjourn-
ment, to proceed in the trial of the other prisoners for
high treason. The Court was very thinly attended, nor
was the crowd in the Old Bailey near so great as it had
been on the former days, although there was the suit
attendance of constables to keep the avenues clear, and
the other arramtements wets.: such as to allind the great-
est facility to the proceedings. Proelainxion has ii
been made in the usual form. the jurors entered, and
nearly filled the body of the Court.
At a few minutes past nine o'clock, the Lord Chief
u•Oco of the ('Ollll of Common Pleas, the Lord Cnief
Baron, and Mr..litstice Richardson, took their seats on
the Bench. The Lord Chief itscce Abbott was not in
Court. The Duke of Ilanolton, s o
Marquif Lansdown,
Earl efion, Sir James Silas", Sir Richard Carr Glyn,
and Mr. Alderman ‘Vadliman, were on the Bench.
Lord Chief Justice Dallas.—Bring in the prisoner,
James lop,
The prisoner was immediately put to the bar. Ile
was tiresed in black clothes, as beim., and looked per-
fectly composed, thotiJi paler than 011 the former day.
In the course of the day he polled out sev...ral oratv4ess
which he Mt idcil wild his unfortunate fellow prismiers.
It was mutually agreed that the names o: the juiyinen
should be Ca I led over fiorn the p nut at winch the Court
left MY when the jury in the last case was selected, toat
is to say, at No. 108.

Jory having been sworn at 10 .o'clock,
Shelton proceeded to read the indictment. It
was the same which has been already described in the
case of Tnistleworel.
The Jurymen not sworn were then told that they
might depart for the present, and give their attendance
on Monday.
Mr. Holland having shortly opened the indictment,
The Solicitor-General rose at ten o'clock to address
the Jury for the prosecution. It was hardly necessary
for hitn, he said, to entreat their calm and patient at-
tention to the facts which he should have to lay before
theca; for he was convinced that they felt necessity
of paying it, not only in obedience to the dictates of
their own consziences Litt as imperatively one to the
pri.sotier at the bar. 'ln justice to him there was one
tact now known to them, and to which hight thfon-
-re-
lore, without impropriety, ailude—he meemmo the c
viction of Arthur Thistlewood. They were bound not
Us suffer that fact to operate in any way to the prejudice
of the present prismwr, but solely to judge of his gook
or innocence upon the evidence they would hear this
slay adduced against him, and on that alone. On the
law of the case, he was under no necessity of making a
single observation—not a d“ubt had been as yet thrown
upon that part of the subject. The Solicitor General
then stated the nature of the charge, and the evidence
which he meaut to adduce against the prisoner, and
which, in obedience to the order of the Court, we refrain
at present Irons publishing. The learned gentleman
spoke for an lour and a quarter.
Lord Chief Justice Dallas--Let the other prisoners be
brought in.
The prisoners, with the exception of Thistlewood,
were then brought into the dock, and severallv answered
to their names, except Wilsou, who, on beitsi.t called oil
as James William Wilson, said that his nom.. was not
Witham. They u;1 disldaved Ow utmost firmness, and
exhibited less aiortety atonal the proceeding* gran die
spectators ammo' them. None of the prisoners applied
for the indolgetice of a char.
The first witness called wag Robert Adams, formerly
a soldier in the Lite Guards (Blue). He was examined
by the Attorney-General, and gave near te sante ev-
dence %stitch he had already detailed ly
.11hustlewood'is
trial.
During the examination of Adams, Brunt appeared
very active in taking notes on a slip of paper, and fre-
quently gave nolications of denying such part of the
evidence as .diveted himself.
Eleanor Winker was next examined, and gave the
same testimony as she rifd on Tuesday last.
The witnesses called aintinst Thistlewood were called
in this case, and gave pr,ctiely the same evidence. Ai
eight o'clock, Bishop, alto apprenended Thistlewood,
was called, but did not appear. The exhibition before
the Jury of time various articles seized was postponed till
to-morrow. The Court adjouroed at eight, till nine
to-morrow 'homing. It is remarkable out Dwyer has
not been called in titis case. The Court was by no
means crowded.

The prisoner,, since Nl'etlin-mlay, have remained in a
state of great tiviceaifit ; 111% Awn philosophically sa)s,
" It can't be helped;' and "that they can ate but
mice." Some of ilk c.oop.tiouns cannot I:CntiCik. lli

Mrs. Thi-tlewood Lei had au inietview with her hits-
baud since his conviction. Site was ready affected
the levity which site had previously otantresied seemed
to have deserted her, and she gave way to the full tide of
her feelings.
Thistlcwood Ilitrsclf ieerned to be perfectly reconciled.
