MIL HUNT'S "I'IIIAL.

NINTH DAl', SA rURDAY, 51ARCE1 25.

Cllr. Judie* DAVI EV.4 Charge lo the .hery, cantina'd frogs
ocr Caper of yesterday

THE KING G. HUNT AND OTHERS.

The indictment set foith, " That the liefendanto eon.
rpireil to inert, and to raiser and proem.• oilier persons so
awes, hie the purpose of disturbing the public pence, Rod
the common tranquillity of the King and This was
one count ; and at would be fur she Jpry in say, whether say
conspiracy was made nut, so as to siolsorise ulna I. god
a verdict of guilty. The Coolest further charged that she

citing discontent and disaffection in the minds of the nob-
jects of our Lord the Kiug, and also to incite them tel con-
tempt and haired of the Guvernmeut and Culiallelithoss as
by law established. Therefore these were here three heads of
charge—lid, sites of a seditious meeting, to disturb the
public peace; a 4.1 purpose was to raise and excite dis-
content and disaffection in the missile of the subjects of
the King; and she SJ purpose was to Incite the mob-
jells of the King to contempt and hatred of the Govern-
ment and Constitution of Ilse realm as by law established.
in a conspiracy it is by no meson necessary to prove that
Ilse parties did actually meet together, it N enough au thew
that they could not have procured this sairethat sentient pre-
vious consent. If you think, however, they did nut actually
an inert, then von will have to say whether the sobsequent
eireurnstauces justify us in implying that previous concert

All who assemble are out filially guilty, fur many might
have oue for innocent and nut illegal porposeis, wishinst any
knowledge of, or participation in, the original pr.+ el. In
yes must lake in the woo. of the
ace 1111 l ponying circumstances of the meeting, their Manner,
their hem, their conduct. In looking at is shin was, your
sistraitioss will be naturally eallsd so the banssers, bat yet
pm must take care that none are implicated in she in-
scripshing sip..o then., rm....pi those who reused them
So be ss,a.b., or who subseipoinly, lay their acts, approved
and adopted them. Go the subject whether ski. particu-
lar meeting was calculated to inspire terror, yon must
take the proof of such witnesses as shall prove so you that
such was lis inevitable ienikucy in the view of rational
minds. That terror may be mediate or immediate, perhaps,
tinder all the circumstances of this meeting, nu ounseslotte
bread, of the law was in view—that kok; likely, from the
promiscuous asscusblsee of wisineu and children, who weir
in she crowd. Rut then there may be • contemplation of
prospective danger, and the parties may be sounding their
way towards the accomplishment of their ultimate object.
It is my duty nisi, to Si II you that a meeting me; assemble
for is iierfreilr heel purpose, nail yet scay become illegal
from subsequent eels; tech as, for instance, if any evil per-
son should have the will and power to give a wrong direction
to a hotly of people, who were thereby rendered capable of
doing vent mischief. It is true, that you knee nu evidence
here that those who were the lenders of that meeting did so
instigate the people; on the contrary, you have beard that
tlwir addrenes wise recomnseedistory oftreace mad qu ie. With
r .pert to Moinhouse, they had it iss evidknee that he was a
religious man; such • person was therefore unlikely to do
as, art that would militate against the precepts of religion.
Mr.. lilliorlsoute was ale at that meeting, and in an advise-
red state of pregnant", a encomiastic* strongly in his favour.
It is most iniportaid that you should keep your eye epos the
structure of she isolictmesit. la the Ist Count, the Defendsets

also charged with meeting in what is called militssy array,
ant wills slivers nolitiosis null inflammatosy Punitive, to the
great alarm and terror of the peaceable subjects of our liege
Lord the King. I will tell you shat the best writers any on
the subject of what coostitutes ass unlawful assembly : Any
great sueetiug which is attended with such circumstances as
cannot but endanger the public peace, and raise fears and
jealousies among she King's sobjecia; for anemic*, meeting
together armed and se a warlike manner, in order to consult
about a redress of grievances, for DO OK can foresee what
may Ir. the effect of such so assembly." If, therefore, taking
all together, the ClICII112•011110PS of the meeting were calculated
to peoslnce terror, theta it became illegal. It is not necessary,
I repeat, that the danger should be ceosidered immediate;
it is enough If it be only prospective, then you will hod a
special verdict,fluding the Defemissats guilty, Watch you think

of crowds of people marching in what was called military
