Long before tl►e hunr fixed for meeting, Mr. Kinnaird, and Mr.
Harriet. tw,s most respectable Ma!!istrates belonging to the Thames
Pollee Office, and who are also Magistrates for the comity of Kent,
arrived in the Justice Boom, at the Mitre Tavern, together with
several -ther respectable ind►v►rluals. Mr. Constable, who as senior
magi-trate for the Greenwich district, Icor nsnally presided at the
bench, as Chairman, arrived at twelve, but it was nearly half-east
twelve before he was joined by three other magistrates, namely—
Mr. Smith. Mr. Mason. and lastly Mr. William.. The latter three
gentlemen signed the warrant upon which the pedestrian was atm►mre-
hended. The fourth gentleman, whose name was to the instrument,
Pr. Burney, did not make his appearance till the busine s nits Al
aver.

An invitation haying been given for the Magistrates present to re-
tire to an adjoining room to consult, Mr. Williams and his two co-
adjutors retired. Mr. Constable declined any interference in their
deliberations, and remained behind.
By this time the room was so crowded, that there was scarce
room to stir. The absentees did not return for Italian hour, when
they re-entered the room, with Mr. Bicknell, the clerk of the
eounty, by whom they hail been accompanied. Having taken their
seats. Mr. Williams, acting as Chairman, ealled for Mr. Smith, the
High Constable, and asked him if he had Wilson in custody?

bring forward his pri,oner, who was in an adjoining room.
Mr. J. Dyer, Mr. Ellis, and Mr. Ohmann, had previously arrived
in a carriage, and were billowed by Wilson, and some of his other
friends, in another carriage.

IVilson being bronolit forward,
Mt. Williams addressing himself to Wilson, said.—" I believe we
have nothing to ti, hut to call upon you to enter into sureties for
your appearance at the next Quarter Sessions of the Peace. to an•
saver for suet' things as shall there be alleged against you. Are you
prepared with hail:"
Wilson-66 Yes, I nm, Sir."
Mr. Fills, a most respectable Solicitor residing. on Blackheath.
now stood up and addressed their Worships. He said he attended
there as the legal adviser of the Prisoner, and it was his duty to sul►.
mit, that there was no just ground for canine upon the unfortunate
man to enter into recognizance%; on the contrary, he was prepared
to contend tbit he was entitled to his discharge : and this upon two
grounds. The first was, that no breach of the public peace had iii
a"y way been proved a_ain,t him ; and the second, that the nostril.
merit upon which the Prisoner had been deprived of his liberty. was
in itself illetyal. With regard to the first ground, he begged leave to
observe, that the warrant on its face alleged " that upon the view
of the Magistrates, whose names were contained therein, George
AVilson had been walking for several days, in pursuance of a public
advertisement, ou Blackheath, for a remuneration in money, and
