THE KING V. HUNT AND OTHERS.

At half-post eleven o'clock the Court proceeded
to the cnosider.ition of this case.

Mr. BAYLEY was preparing to read the
renimider of his notes, when_

Mr. Hoot requested their Lordships to take down
another objection which he wished to urge, namely,
the admission of evidence on the trial of the nnittns
on the flags, which would appear in the linter
part of the examination iii chief of Morton.
Mr. Justice BAY LGY could not find the evidence
in that pert of his notes which corresponded with
Mr. Hunt's description ; but the objection was
Takeo down by the Chief Justice.

The ATTOINLY.GESERAL prOffneed a copy of
the first bill which was posted for calling the Man-
ehester Meeting, nod of that of the Magistrates,
which directed the people to " abstain" from flint
Elegal meeting " at their peril."
Mr. Justice BATLEY then went on reading the
evideoce. When he came to that of Matthew
Cooper, an accountant. which related the inscrip-
tions of the banners, Mr. Hunt reminded the Judge
(Mr. Justice Bayley) that he (Mr. Hunt) had on
tire trial required so see the notes which Cooper
professed to hare taken, and this was refused by
Lordship.
_ _ _

Mr. Ji*live BAYLEY did Dot recollect, bet sup.
posed he should discover it in his notes.
Mr. Hunt said he mentioned it in ibis place, to
sa,e the trouble of referring to it afterwards.
Ii appeared from hi, Lordship's mom that Cooper
did not take any notes of the foregoing evidence nn
Lire ground, bet made them up from memory, alter
I.e left the meeting.
By two o'clock Mr. Justice Batutt had reed
tiirough the whole of the evidence fur the prosecu-
tion.

The Coley Jurrice thew said. that his brother
Bailey would be too much exhumed if he went au
further. Tire Court, therefore, thought fit to ad-
journ the coriaideretion of the case till to...narrow,
•ad in the mean time proceed with the ordivary
business of the motions.

In the Court of Common Pleas yesterday Mr.
Seqestit VAUGHAN rose to bhew cause agitinst a
