MIDDLESE.Y SESSIONS.
KING V. MILLS.—PRETENDED RIOT
The indictment rrekrred by the Solicitor of the
Treasury against Mr. Mills, for a riot in St. James's.
square, came on to be tried on Nliwilay. The 'ase on
the part of the Crown was opened by Mr. NVal ford ; and
Mr. A rabin addressed the Jury, and briefly stated that
he should be able to prove that the defendant hail, on
the 31st of August, made his appearance In front Ville
Quc,..ii's house in St. James's Square, and there con-
ducted himself in a riotous and tumultuous manner, so
that the magistrates had thought it field to order hint to
be taken into cus;oJy, he had excited the public to dis-
turbance, which created a serious riot, in which many
of the constAies were seriously hurt.
The Learned Counsel proceetkd to call Vickery, the
police-ollicer, who swore, that he had been ordered by
►he Magistrates to station himself at St. James's-square,
previously to the 30th of August, and that on that day
lie had observed Mr. Mills haranguing the persons
assembled in front Of the Queen's house, and that Mr. M.
recommended that an Address should he presented to
the King, syhich he read to the persons assembled—
saying, that on the following day he would attend and
prepare the means for signing the Address; that accord-
ingly Mr. Mills attended on the following day in an
open lanaan, and was beginning to address the asseninly,
when Mr. Bennett and Mr. Alleyn, two tual,istraies,
directed witness to take him into custody ; he then made
his wow through the crowd, and carried off Mr. Mills
on his back ; and Mr. Mills addressed the pmple,
saying, " Will you let ate go, or will you let me be
taken away? In consequence of which, he was attacked
by fide, five, or sit hundred people, who assailed the
witness and the other 13ow•street officers with stones
and brick -bats.

Upon Vickery's cross-exatnination, he persisted in
saying that Mr. Mills did address the people, and excite
them to rescue him ; irr consequence of which, Mr.
Mills took down in writing the very words which Vick-
ery swore he had used:
William %%rotten, the constable, swore, that he had
emleaioured to stop the carriage in which Mr. Mills W. 15,
ineffectually, and that Mr. Mills had said to him, if he
knew who he was, he would take him into custody ;
upon which the Chairman inquired what was the name
of the witness? arul linnitiz it was the person mcntiowd
iu the indictment, he asked the witness what Mr. Alub
did to him? to which the witness replied, " he dui
nothing to me."

Tee‘Chaiiman (Mr. Const) said," front this evidence
it is clear that yon tentrucied Mr. instead of that
gentleman oh:erecting you ; surely this part of the case
must he git en tip."
Four other Low-street Officers were then ex import,
who proved nothing material.
Mr. Mills, in his defence, went at very considerable
length inio ihe history of the transaction, and said he
stood there to defend his principles and his conduct,
and he would fearlessly assert and maintain, that he was
only exesCillug the Hirst which every journeyman, in
C• it himself, and every subject of the realm
passessed,of poitionitig the Throne at any and all times,
when they clime: touuso. Mr. M then related the pait
