The Learned Counsel may say what wundeiful discoveries
we have made ; he may affect astonishment at our end-
ing out what we have dom. I can tell him we have nu
public purse as one bask, enabling us to discover them,
but that they were recognised by persons who knew their dm-
rollers, and then sent me its the account on a slip of paper,
of which I have not failed to make some use. Cowper knew
be dare not contradict the fact of his having robbed his mas-
ter, fur we had a Allow-servant of his to prove it. Whew
he comes as a Reporter to the hustings, he tells you Ant
that he went there of his own accord; but that was • sort of
under-play, and thealit romps out that he went liters fur TA•
Cearier. Heand his friend Roger &theist leare at yeriaism, sea
they again differ materially from another of their amiable and
proper associates. All whoa reported on that occasion differed
except in one point, that I said to the people," Put theta
dowu, and when you have them down, keep them et)."
What says Roger Entwistle? that I said, as the yeomanry
were advanciog, " There are your enemies, if they at.
tempt to nosiest you put them dowu, sod when doom
keep them so." The others did sot go so fur 110; they
would not swear so well. Next comes Mr. Plait, the Gent le•
man so intimately acquainted with the flimies. All he has
proved has been coots edicted over and toyer again, but whe-
ther it has or not, we shell be able to disprove it. He swears
at one time he saw Sexton uu the hastens fur half au
hour, arid at another lime fur au hour and a half. Theo
as to Bamford's befog on the hustings after my arrival,
we shall prove it to be false, and that he was standing iu
the mobil of the crowd during the time 1 was there. It was
necessary, however, to connect him with the pruceediugs,
and of course he wished to have loins on the buntings.-.-
He also swears he saw Moo house too the hustings—a man
who
that 1 admit for a single moment there was either dis-
grace or cringe in being there), and who, I believe, did
not even think of mteseeliug at the 'mellw. Here there
is one circumstance which I must beg leave to set-al
to the attention of your Lordship, and of you, Gentlemen
of the Jury, as to the iestimuuy we extracted about the
flimsies. I allude to aadoccurrence that took place in
this Court--an occurrence float never should be tolerated Miss
Court of Justice, upon a question which I asked Mr. Hal-
lam. A general rensatiou then pervaded the Court, and
one man, who clapped his hands, and made some other ins.
proper demonstrations, was taken, but not hurried to pri-
son, as I have seen men treated on oilier occasions, very
often indeed, brit upon oath taken as to the fact. Nell;
but it is nut a little remarkable. on this occlusion, to see wins
appeared to stele she facts. Nuw who comes forward—why
Mr. Plait. He hears it said, the mass had clapped his
huts, and lie instantly coons forward to swear it. These
are the sort of taco we see who come forward against us;
but this is not enough; another •flielavit might be necessary
to the fact, and lie looks up to the gallery, and there he Studs
another of his brother wituessie, fur whom he couchte that
he can also swear it. Worthy witnesses indeed ! IVliy,
Geniktmen, when such persons are employed in any pro.
iteration, eau von rely upon the motives that have pro-
duced ur given you belief to the instruments engaged to sus.
lain it? Platt, you see, was not tired of swearing, and I
don't know if he'll be as successful here as in his prosecation
of the flatuty !majors', for in shat he never failed of nailing
those against whom he had appeared. Elias and Cowper,
and another Reporter, differed iu their aecuuida of what
occurred, and fur one, certainly, if his levity did met induce
him' to read forth all that was said about the corals y, would
not fail to do en from his malig,nancy. Then Ellis swears
to what Alr. Green and Mr. Hardman till him ilwy saw, yet
he use ou the ground, but his testimouy amounts to nothing.
I am placed, Cattlemen, in the very unpleasant and unfur.
telltale situation of being obliged to answer and explain as
to Mourhouse, what a Learned Counsel took a very mu-
sideralsk time to mystify. 'rule Learned Gentleman usually
mistook, or he did perhaps what was worse, but quite usual
with Counsel to do, endeavour to make the July mistake.
He appeared as if he had in Isis hand au issue—
Mr. Justice BAYLEY—This ellllllllttli is unfair; it is not
allowable; it is uncalled fur.
Air Hunt—My Lord, if the mode of defence adopted by
the C set fur Mr. Mourhouse mods to commit wee, I
consider myself entitled to continent upon that procedure.
