Thee got all round me. I heard nothing then. I did not hear,the
soldiers say any thing to John Lees. There were soldiers all
round the hurting.; when he was cut. I did not see
off the hosing. 1 think the Yeomanry were at him lo or 13
yards from the hustings., I carinue•SWelir that he was not cut on
the listings; but I swear that tio solgiers lied conic up when
I saw him off the hustings. after he hail been on. The soldiers

at the hustings, and special constables; they were lying along

about seven ; six lout truncheons, and one a piece of a staff of a

him strike rwice. I was ten yards off.—What do you call a
considerable time ? Three or four minutes. The soldiers were
about four yauls from Julia Lees then. The hustings were two
carts. 1 can't tell the height. I can't tell the. thickness of the
planks that were upon the cans.
Coroner.—The .tury will Mrin their opinion of that.
Winleb.st-al know that the sue had limn cut with a sword, for
I saw it cut by a Yeoman, and saw a man pick it up-about a
minute after. The staff was green. I saw: nothing in John
Lets hand after he cone otf the hustings. The soldiers were
galloping about the stage, and cutting every one that fell in their
way. I cannot testify to any other man I saw cut. I was not
hurt. I had a staff. I came from Leeds to see the crowd, and
to hear what. was to be said. I was not the Later. I knew no
leader. I gave r.'. directions. l told sonic of them to keep then

They wentatt a sharp rate, very quickly. 1 think a gall°P.—
I saw several Magistrates in Mr. Busuot's house. They were
there aboat half-past •H. and I saw them at intervals to the
moment the Yeomanry charged. I recognized Mr. I.lhelstune, i
a clergyman ; Mr. Hay, a clergyman ; Mr. Norris, a stipendiary
Magistrate ; and Mr. Fletcher, commonlv called Colonel
Fletcher; and others whom I did not know particularly, and
therefore don't like to aware. I heard them say nothing. I saw
• them cooling out and *peaking to persons about the doors. who
Appeared to be special constables. I ant sure of all doing so.
.except Mr. Hay. whom I did ant notice. I certainly did nut
hear any Riot Act read, and saw nothing like it. I ant sure no
.direction was given to disperse. The last thing I heard or saw
was Mr. Hunt still addressing the people. I was about 1410 yards
.from the hustings. and Do from Mr. Iltotom's hollow then.—
When the cavalry ruslital into the crowd, it was about half past
one o'clock.
Mr. Shuttleworth here went into particulars of the condact of
the Yeomanry, which are circumstantially repeated in the evi-
dence given by Mr. Win. N. llncltley.]
Mr. Harmer stated, that on Saturday lie had not been aware
that Mr. Hamm had seen the meeting, and wished him now to
be examined to that, as he had seen it front a house near
Cllr. fluxion's. _ _

Mr. Basnett.—Were you in eottrt this day?—Not till this
wiment. I was at the meeting on the ifith, about one, and s w
Or. Hunt arrive in an open carriage. I saw the cavalry advance.
and prtseeed towards the hu.stings Great confusion took ple-e.
and then the cavalry surrounded •the hustings. I heard cries of
" Murder." and " Save us." I saw several fall opposite to the
house where I was, in Windmill Street, about tHso yards
Was Al much shucked, that I retired into a back room, and
desired the women who were with me to do so to. afraid that their,
screams might bring persons to the door. I remained thereabout,
an hour. i went hJme as soon as I could with saf:ty. 'That was
a quarter past two. The house belonged to a woman, I think. of
the name of Croft. The whole of Windmill Street fronts the
ground. I saw a woman fall about the centre of the field.—She'
was struck by a Manchester yeoman, by his dress. I was never
out of the house. I saw the special constables striking several
blows. _ - _ _

Ry Mr Harmer.—l was there pmhably 2n minutes before Mr.
Ilitat arrived. The people appeared perfixtly peaceable and
..puet, till the cavalry charged. The people cheered, and then
toere was a mob. I heard no Riot Act read, and no notice given.
nor any thing to lead me to believe tharthere was any thing. of
4:ne kind. I saw no stones thrown, and no sticks used spinet
the cavalry. if there had been any. I think I ahould have
.s...en it. _ _ .

Mr. William Norris Buiklev.-4I am a Manchester tradesman
I have my dwelling-house i•r berby. I srw parties coming on
the 16th.

_ ....
Coroner.—What is the gist of his evidence ?
Mr. Ilanuer.—l understand he can speak to the whole pro-
everting, of the 16th.
Coroner.—He knowenoth:ng of John I.ca ?
Mr. Ilaraner.—No ; but it teems ecarcely nocesertry for me
wo state, that if the attack was made without necessity—if
there was no riot nor disturbance, all concerned, whether
asheristrates, soldiers, or constables, were guilty as principals, if
present.
The witness then stated the colours, the inscriptions, and the
Islamic which have been an often mentioned. One party was
headed by an old woman with a reddish gown, a black bonnet,
el a sprig of laurel in it. She said nothing. that I heard. I saw
several men with laurels. I observed no sticks. There were 3
or 4 pa-tied that I saw. I stood on the steps of St. Peter's-
(Mitch, and saw them all distinctly. The Quaker's chapel was
pearly in a line with the hustings. I went afterwards into the
body of the meeting. I heard many speak of the peaceableness
of the meeting, and say they had no fear of the meeting going of
quiet. I heard that the soldiers had been moving in Pickfortre-
Aid, and I went to see them. I stew the Yeomanry Cavalry
load their pistols. I saw them then told off, right and left. I
think I saw about 60 load their pistols : all that were in Portland
Street. I went again to St. Peter's-church. A friend. Mr..lohn
Moon, was with me. By the time I got there, I saw Mr. Hunt
had arrived. I went then opposite Muunt.atreet. I saw Mr.
I hint then take off his Sat, and commence addreesiag the meeting.
1 heard a general cry of '• the soldiers are coming. Soon after
they untbrtunately made their appearance. They were the Man-
chester Yeomanry Cavalry. Two trumpeters appeared tint.-1
thought them so, because they rode pie.leild horses. Shortly
after the rest rushed up. and made great confusion. They treat
et a gallop, penmen, with drawn swords. I observed they
looked remarkably pale. They passed betwixt myself and
Mount Street. They were about three yards from me. I began
to run towards the Quakers' Meeting, with intention of leaving
the meeting. The thought struck me that I should be safe in
the Quakers'-yard. I went into it. When I got there, a dist-
ance of 69 yards. I saw the Yeomanry brandishing their swords,
There was a hurrah be the mob or meeting. The Ye:sinewy
Iniunlished their swords, and dashed on. I remained in that
situation until there was a complete dispersion. That took place
in about five minutes or less. The people ran in such a body.
that they could not get past, and in that state they were ova-
t iken by the Yersinanry, and struck, I think by the flat side of
the swords : this was between the school and the Quakers'
m .eting, where game logs of wood lay, and obstructed the way.
I beard the report of a pistol, and looking whence it came, I saw
two or three Yeomanry in the yard, ant rutting as they passed
verse who, like myself, took shelter in the yard : I should think
toe report had been 30 nr 40 yards from use towards Deans-
g etc : I can't say who fired it ; atxl from the report I should
a ippose it was nut loaded : I heard only one report : I thought
it was time to doe (41: I ran across the yard, and jumped over
ti.e wall on the other side: I saw the Yeomanry cut five or
six: they were lying about them.—Were they laying about
thesis? They struck, but whether they cut I did not see, for
v. a., too anxious for my own safety to look.—Were you afraid
they would cut you ? i certainly was.— Why ? because they
were indiscriminate ; and if I had not been alarmed 'ay the pistol.
sad seen the Yeomanry, I believe I should have been cut down
before I observed the Yeomanry. I knew none of them in the
yard. At Mount Street. I knew Mr. R. Sharp, Mr. Whitlow,
an attorney, Mr. J. Moon, and others of the Yeomanry. I
b.lieve they were privet...B. These were among those whom I
saw look pale. Mr. Fox was one of the Yeomanry who were
striking tinder the wall. After jumpinz over the wail, I found
tuyselt very awkwardly situated. for I found some of the Yen.
Timmy in Dickenson-street. I felt apprehensive of my personal
sat'ety.—You 'night feel fear where no fear was ; did any person
offer you violence ? Na,, but it was impassible not to be afraid
after what I hail seen. Those in Dickenson Street struck down
a man on a crutch. lie fell, bait whether struck with the flit or
edge of a sward I can't tell. The man was lame, and supported
on a crutch in one hand, and a staff in the other. I saw no rip-
pmence of a Riot Act being read. I was not aware that any
Magistreass were on the ground t I hail no (panel with any of
the Yeomanry ' • but I was afraid, from the manna in which
they same up, that they meant violently to disperse the Meeting.
I saw the constables in a line at Buxton's hinise —I can't follow
you through your winding,: but where were you when the
caalry charged? In the Qoakers'iard. I saw them move
front before Buxton's house to the charge: there was then a
