YORK ASSIZES.

TRIAL OF Jilt. HUNT, AND uriunts.

TENTh DAy.
The Court met this morning at nine o'clock, and the
names of the Jory bashig beeo called over, liis Lordship
; ruceeded to detail the evidence to them. Ile hail mop-
pet! on Saturday with the evidence of Shawcross, Which
I.e now continued ; and a ent on to that of the last witness
for the pt wee midi. The principal observation that arose
out of this was grounded on the restitutions which were
proposed and adopted at the Smithfield meeting ill July
Lest ; which, according to Mr. Fitzpatrick, Mr. Hunt pro-
duced from his pocket on that occasion. His Luttiship
would read diem to the Jory, in order that they might
jtidge of the feeling and temper of the imlividual by whom
they were pioposed, lie would make no comment on
them, for the J sirs would see how Mr they were calcu-
lated to excite discontent in the minds of those to
they %vete addressed. His Lordship now came to li
the
evidence for the defence. On the part of Bloorhouse and
Jones it had been stated, that their attendance at die
meeting so near the liostings was merely accidental ; and
it was observed, that it' the object of the meeting was legal,
and its
illconduc peaceable, numbers would not make it
illegal. In th e condo red. N anthers did nit make a
meeting illegal, unless they were such as to excite a tenor
in the mindo of Lifters, or to be a pi °liable cause of terror.
Healy, in Lis defence, expressed a hope that his case
would he jedged without any party feeliogs, His Lord-
ship hoped so too, He dusted the Jury would dismiss
trout their minds every feeling w loch was not excited be
the evidence before them. He would do his ditty (edict tidy
to the crown and the people on the one hand ; and if lie
did not do it to the defendants on the other, there was
One above him, under whose e; e he was acting, and to
whops lie was responsible. He &Meet ely hoped awl trusted
that that Being would guide 10111 in the observations which
he had to make, and the Jury in weighing well what he
should submit to thens. (This observation was delivered
to so impressive a 'trouper as to affect several persons in
l'ourt even to tears.l It was true, as had been stated by
one of the defeedaws, that tame there was no law, there
could be no transit. essiutt ; anti if the Jury found that, at
the time of this !meting, there was no law against it, they
would give the defendants the benefit of it. Co taiuly the
carrying of sticks or banners in the procession were nut in
themselves illegal, and could nut be so, unless carried or
borne Niel a bail iuitt'utiolt. In the address of Mr. Hunt,
it was observed by hint, that his intentions on this occasion
were innocent, and that the whole of his observations were
add' eased for the preservation of the peace, and that the
object of their meeting was levant—eh cumstances which
would be wholly for the consideration of the Jury. lie
would now proceed to the very vol 1111 l Mous evidence
offered fur the defendants; but, as he said to the Jury on
Sattuday, lie would put it to the parties whether it was
necessary to go through the evidence of each witness. He
did nut think that the Jury would find it necessary
he less so, as it was probable that, by-and-by, tbey would
be of opinion that the facts to which these witnesses were
called were satisfactorily established.
Mr. Hunt.— My Lord, we leave it entirely to your Lord-
ship's discretion.
Mr. Justice Bayley.--r only wish that every thing
should be fairly done, and so considered.
Mr. Hunt.--If your Lordship should happen to leave
ant any particular point of evidence, will you allow a. to
call it to your Lou tiship's recollection?
Mr. Justice Bayley.—" I will not only allow it, but I
desire it may he dour; and I hope those concerised fur
Me crown will also do the same, if I should omit any
point of evidence making for the disc."—His Los &hip
then went on to recapitulate the leading points of the de-
fence, as it hot eou the defendants generally. As to
lialtuts, die Crown had very ;Howdy given tip the case
against him. To hint it appeared, if the evidence of the
several witnesses were to be earn ll ill eel, the conduct of the
meeting was peaceable; and if those who attendee' it
were innocent in their intentions in going to the meeting,
they committe dno offence in so doing. It appeared from
a member of witnesses (whom his Lordship enumerated)
that the people went peaceably along—that there ode
women and eh dilren up with them—and it would be fertile
jury to consider how far their intentions .l have bent,
peaceable when many of them thus brought Mete wives
and children with them. As to their having cheered on
the field, or at the appro. atice of soldiers, they hail a
perfect right to do so: and unless the cheers wee e those
of defiatice, they were quite innocent. Several of the
witutesses (for the defence), indeed all of them who spoke
of those cheers, looked upon theta not as cheers of defi-
ance, but as proceeding from a consciousness of inno-
cence. Many of the pe.sons, even the women, win n
they saw the soldiers, looked upon their apples:tell as in Ito
manner hostile to thew meeting. When his Lou dship, in
summoning up the cattle'', e a Mr. Tyas, came to that
part which melitioned the hissing opposite the police
office,
Mr. How requested that his Lot dship would recollect
that neither ms nor Johnson had given any elite:elitists to
encourage outvlll 10 the people to hiss.
His lordalop said that lie was about to state that fact to
the jury.
Having goer throngli the evidence of several other
witnesses, ais iordship again called the attention of the
jury to the raceable conlinet of the meeting on the 10th,
and the fad diet tio person had lieu called to prove that
any act of violence hod beta c 1111 l nutted helot e the CA.
/airy come. 'Piero wets now two pit nuns which lie

was, whether the meeting WWI illegal in iis uaeuue, or in

If the object of meeting was to discuss or petition for
reform in a peaceable manner, that would be

manner of assembliog to create terror in the wools of
the people of Manchester. If melt lei cur were eseiti

so as to produce alarm to the tools of Manchester, then
the meeting would be illegal, and all those who columned
in it would be guilty aan illegal act. If the jut). beheved

lint tit 4 future danger, if the meeting had continued
together, they would give a special verdict to that effect.
They would recollect that there was no Mien melon of
business on that day, and this would materially inlbeenee
them in the judgment they should foe 41, aliether •
diate or remote danger was to be feared. On the pal tof
the Crown it was suggested—and it might possibly have
IIeVII so—that an ininiviliaie disturbance was not the ob-
ject of the patties accused, but that they looked to the
lettere power of some minchief. It would be for the Jury
to inquire how far this was pros ed by the evidence. he
next question was, whether the meeting was nedresful as
to the intentions of ally, and which of the defendants. lie
looking at the ease in this view, it was necessary to exit
mine the actions of the several parties. 'the meeting was.
admitted on all hands to have been very large, and one of
the charges against the defendants was, that they had at-
tempted to excite, in the minds of those present, disaffec-
tion and discontent, and to produce a Mitred :mil contempt
for the Government of the country, as by law estaleisheil.
Let the Jury look at the fact. It was said that this meet
hugs was called by 70.1 housekeeper. However, no one of
those persons hail been called to prove that fact; ana as
to the 'teenier in which it really was called, ur by whom
the notice was given, the Court and the Jury were lett 111
the dark. Mr. Hun', it appeared, had recently befoie
this been at a meeting in Smithfield, where certain reso
!mimes lead been agreed to. Front thence, or at least soon
after, lie was found in the neighbourhood of Slanelteaters
He ass fleece before the time at which the meeting of the
'llth was to have taken place. Now, it' 'Mr. Hunt had
intended to propose resolutions at the meeting of 11w lath,
similar It) those which lie had proposed at the Sthfield
meeting, it would be fur the Jury to say how tar they
would be likely to excite discontent and disaffection in
the minds of those also were assembled. He would've% (-
this pan' of the question entirely to them, with olds thi•
observation—that if' Mr. Hunt had suck object, and that
the resolutions were calculated to excite discanlent‘theil
quuad Mr. Hunt, the meeting would be illegal, and if lie
communicated such intentions to any other, and that
they approved of them, then there would be a conspiracy;
and it any three of them went to the meeting with snot
intent, the meeting would, as far as they were rowel stet',
be illegal; for the law said, " three or more person..."
Court and the Jury went, not only on what was
proved, but what might be proved, and Iw evifleitce had
been odered that it was intended to submit any other
resolutions to the Court. With respects to the flags which
wet e carried, it was important for the Jury to look at the
inscriptions which were on litmus If meg et those inset ip-
tions were illegal, or calculated to vartte diseffection or
discontent, then lie vile° bole such dag, all those who
were areauged under it were grill) of all illegal act, and,
as fat as they were concerned, the meeting was illegal.
In looking to the iuscr:ptions, it singlet also be elect:ism y to
see how far they correspoteled with the resolutions which
had been agreed to at Smithfield. There were " Culver-
sal Suffrage," " Annual Parliament," and " N'ole by real.
lot." "No corn laws.' Now if the words "no corli
laws" oiettet only that the laws on tun: importation of t tit 11
should he repealed, nothing was more hat inless than the
inscription. The criminality of the motto would he ill
wishing to have them so repealed by threat or force. .N
thrr was there any harm in the wends " Unite and be
free," unless the Jury believed that these was a Lail in-
tention in calling tor such union. The swat inset iption
was " Ta maim' Willem' represeutatiou is unjust and ty ran-

question fur the eltisideration of the Jury whether he at-
tended to propose the Icsulntiatis Cal lied at ;
at all events, he bad offered 1111 evidence to show' tom he
had any others. Mr. Hunt and Johusot were both pre-

- -
sent when the people kissed at Murray's, and at the police;
but it did not appear that either of them had advised or
encouraged it. .10111191011 was on the hustings, and pro-
posed Mr. Hunt as chairman ; and it would be for the
Jury to say, how fur he was likely to know the resolutions
%Ouch were intended to be proposed. This would en-
tirely di pond on their opinion of his intentions. He nest
came to Mom house, and certainly lie appeared to have
had less participation in what had passed than all the
others. The Jury would look at his ease, and, judging by
acts, would see how far he was connected with what
was done. Conjecture would not be aritheimit against
him, and if only such existed, lie wa. entitled to an ac-
quittal. The Jury world next look at the ease of Swill,
and see bow far lie was connected with any previous mo-
tives. it appeared from the evidence of Mr. Henry
Orton, a reporter, that Swift was present, and exhorted
the meeting to In' peaceable; but then Illin was on the teati-
molly of the witnesses whose recollection as to other points was at
least questionable. He (Mr. Justice Bayley) had before told
the Jury that evidence of words from recollection of this kind
ought to be looked at with caution. He did nut mean to say
that Mr. Orton told any thing which he (Orton) did not believe,
but the Jnry would do well to consider whether his recollection
of what passed was the most accurate. Ile next came to Healy ;
und if the .1 ury believed thee, he meant to impress on the minds
of the pro; lc that they should have any change in the represen-
tation by means of force or threats he would be guilty. As to the
words '• No Coro 1.. wis„' us he had before said, that was a point
on which much difference of opinion existed in the country, and
a wish to have them repealed could not be criminal. But the
runts, " Taxation without representation is unjust and tyran-
nical." were, it' they bore the meaning he had betine said, cal-
culated to excite disatliction, amid would, in that case, be
illegal. Bamford, it appeared, headed a party ; if the banners
which were borne by toot party were not calculated to excite
atPction, there was nothing in the manner or conduct of the
people to excite alarm J n ohnso as proved to have been at the
hustings, but it would be for the Jury to say' whether it was for
the purpose of constructing them or not. It appeared he bad
used the word enemies" in one of his speeches to the people.—
Ile (Mr. Justice Bayley; wits sorry for it. That word should
not be applied by any one set of men in this country to another,
where all ought to be united in one common bond of amity and
union.
Mr. hunt.—l hope your Lordship will excuse me if I say
one word. Your Lot &hip, in adverting to the Smithfield meet-
ing, has said that 1 proposed the Resolutions. My Lord, it is
the custom for whoever is chairnum at such meetings to put the
resolutions, and they are handed to him for that purpose. I did
put than, and I gave a copy to the gentlemen connected with
the press, who attended. As to the resolutions intended to be
proposed at Manchester, they were seized on the hustings wlwn
the meeting was dispersCiLand,though we have given them notice
to produce them, they have not done so. I hope your Lordship
will excuse my interruption.
Mr, Justice Bayley—Certainly, Mr. Hunt ; and 1 feel obliged
fur reminding toe of any thing whioh may be material to the
Case. I have put the case fairly for you, and fairly against you,
to the jury ; and it it were hoe last moment of my life, I would
give the same to the jtiry that I have now done.
alt. font bowed, and appeared perfectly satisfied with what
his Lordship had done.
Ills Lordship then continued :...The points which the Jury
would have to decide were...was the meeting illegal in
or in its manner ? If so, all who attended it with welt illegal
object, or in such illegal manner, were guilty. The next quits.-
, thin was, how far allot any of the defendants were guilty on the
grounds he had before mentioned ? The jury had given to the
trial a most patient attention, and he had no doubt they would
now give it a most impartial consideration. As the Court was
now so silent and attentive, lie wished to express a hope that a
arose of respect for the Court and the due administration of jus-
tice would prevent any expression of approbation or thsapproba•
toga at the delivery of the verdict, answerer it might be. Ile
would row leave the Mc to tocat, with this one ooservation—
not to give a verdict of guilty unless they were fully satisfied tit die
sufficiency of proof—nor a verdict of acquittal, while such
proof existed in their minds. If they had any doubt, they would
give all the defendants the benefit of it.
It W.AS very neat 12 o'clock when his Lordship concluded ; and
in a few minutes after, the Jury retired, and. after consulting
together for tire liout,, returned into Court at five o'clock, whit
the tifflowing verdict :
We find MoonSaxon,Jones,
:wise,
Guilty ; and we find I hairy Hunt, Joseph Johnson, Joseph
lively, Samuel Bamford, and John Knight, Guilty of assem-
bling tiolawhil meeting, with inflammatory banners, and of
exciting his Majesty's liege subjects to a hatred, and contempt
Mr the Government of this realm, us by law established, and of
attunling at that meeting.
Mr. Hunt wa, then bound over in 2,0001. to keep the peace to
the King Mr six months ; Johnson and Heady in 1,!;001. etch ;
and Banitiml in SOUL fur a similar time.
The parties immediately entered into their several recogni-
zances.
Mr. Hunt—What is meant by good behaviour, my Lottl—it
is a very indehmte term.
Mr. Justice Bayley—The law defines it, Sir.
Mr. I lunt—l always, my Lord, wish to chew good behaviour
to the law,
Mr. Justice Bayley—Then you have only to continue to show
to it the good behaviour you observed to Coutt during this trial.
Mr. Hunt-1 hope I shall always do so, my Lord; if any
thing tell from me, it was' tar trout my intention to give any
°Knee to the Court.
Mr. Justice Bayley—You gave me no offence._ Mr. Hunt.
Mr. Iluot—l never Will, 1 hope, my laud. 1 have to thank
your Lordship much fur your patience during this long trial.
Mr..litsuce Bayley—You owe me no thanks for ooing that
which wus toy duty ; ton in what f say to you do I mote than
state a fact, I CIO out mean a civil expression.
Mr. unt—li I naive the Court of King's Bench for a new
trial, l suppo,e, toy Lund, the defendants who are acquitted
need not attend, though the inOictment charges a conspiracy.
Mr. Justice Bayley—l can't advise, but there was a case in
Surrey, 1 forget the mane, I'll recollect it directly.
I las Lordsiiip deli honed round to tile bury, and said, they
had his best thanks fin We patient attention they had bestowed
imon this arduous tnul. Ile %us very much obliged to thvid.—
Torn lacing tee body of the Court, his Lordship added, very
much approve of the continct of the Court at the now the verdict
was givtal in ; ailuding, a e presume, to the universal silence Mat
prevailed at the time.
It was near six o'cloch when the Count broke up. Mr. Hunt
was cheered as he went to his lodgings. He maintained, to the
' last his wonted compostoe, and there was a cainmos wal respect-
' tal decorum in his manner at the close of the trial which excited
much sympathy for his situation.
