most ottentively to what he stated, and asked hiui

of them, dirt he had seen Wooler in prisou—
'hot he was II good kind of fellow—and offered
to print the proclatnations which he (Olivet) was to
write. Those proclamations would be disseminated
throughout Nutiiiighani, Derby. Leeds, York,
Biontogliain, &c.' Ile then observed, that he
wondered what the people in Nottingham were
about —for in Leeds, Birmingham, Liverpool, and
many other places, they could hardly be held in.'
In reply to this, some of the party said they were
abain to bring petitions to the foot of the throne.'

put this case to the House, and I think it sets the
question in the fairest point of view. There are,
according to the wild calculation of Mr. Ciolsiu-
how,. 30 or 40.000 persons its this onetmpolle,
who live by preying on their fellows,. In the
country towns there must necessarily be a portion
of persons of similar character. Now, what stein'd
we say to that Government who should send miss

racters who despoiled their iseiebbourti—to tell
them that this was the time to 'blunder the rich—

Honourable Gentleman who spoke last has told
us, that, if Government had any thing to do aid,

money which his missions hail previously earned.—
(hear, hear.)—But, why did not the Prisoners call
him ? They abstained, fur the best possible 'ravel,
because they could not. (heat, hear.)—They were
not to phew that they were 'reduced into treasonable
sets—they were to prove that they were not guilty
of treason. It would have been useful, perhaps,
to state to the Crown, that they were seduced by
the persons whom Government had sent out. It
might be proper, in mitigation of punishment,
to say, that they forfeited their blood to the
arts of these emissaries—but this was not an
argument to be used to a Jury. as a matter of
defence. It would trot be endured. The Judge,

Mr. WILISKRFORC6 protested against receiving
any reference from the Honourable Member, who
had just sat slows), because lie wished to feel
himeelf, in the Committee, uisembarraseed by
matters nut directly before it. His reason for
thinking the House should reject this motion
was, because it proceeded altogether on an tine
founded assumption. on a misapprehension. of a
lineage iii the Report of the Secret Committee of
last veer. It could not fairly he itspeetazil, that the
Comnsittee intent to say. that any considerable de-
gree of this tendency to 01SILIffeCt1011 011 S oCeasiolled
by Mr. Oliver. He believed the meaning of the
Committee, in alluding to persons eutployed by
Gore 11111 l riot, was this :—that distinct information of
seditious meetings having been received before
Oliver was went to the country, it wuul'l not be el-
together right to say, dust this isiass's conduct might
not have sin:feasts, the evil. Certainly the Commit-
tee had 110 reason to say Isis conduct had such an
effect. But, considering the stature orthe in-
strument, which was always suspected, list Costs-
mince had merely hinted at a possibility. They
did not speak of as y discovery having heels
made, of persons employed by the Goversoment,
who had fomented three diaturbauces--and.
therefore, there was nothing in the Report on
which the present motion could be founded.
—lie did nut pretend to 1.01%, that some ill ef-
fects might nut have hero pri;lticeil by this sumo ;
he could gave no opinions on that sositieet till he
procured snore el idence. Ile thoughts with his
Hon. Frieisil. that Olive, might have done some
mischief—hut he would nut believe all that throe
persona had said, who new came fie ward to accuse
individual. If - had led it

the witness, that the people in the North of Biog.
• laud were ready to rise on their uppressots--asid
that they could hardly be prevented from appear-
ing iu arms. That a vast body of people were ready
to pour down from Scott:nal, who would overwhelm
all before them, and hear down their tyrants. That
Sir F. Burdett and Major Cartwright were anxious
to aria. That several officers of distinction, whose
',a.m., it would be improper to mention, would
I.sks• soy part that might be given to them. And,
that all hr had stated was perfectly true.'
Now the Report spoke of delegates lining employed
all through the country—as it such were the fact.
1\ one of those delegates had erne:wed—but it doss
appear that Oliver, wherever he went, did speak
of himself as having visited various places iii
the capacity of a delegate.—(hear, hear, Gear.)
lis Bt aaaa he was not so successful tot else-
where. There, when he had endeavoured to entrap
persoias, by his statements, into illegal acts, he
was disroverril. They told him they knew his
plaits—that there was not au 1101101111141 10 1;11.111111

Sir, the 1 luate will mark this peculiar circum-
stance, that the very day Oliver was found out—
the slay he was convicted of being a spy—the

(Gas, licar.)—There it no doubt that, all through

the worst purposes. It is easy for us, who enjoy,

lie suspected front whom the Honourable Gentle-
man procured his information, whets lie men-
tioned the name of Mitchell, who had been taken
up for treasonable practicer, and was lately dif-
charged from confinement, and Peudrill and Ste-
phrase, who bad both fled to America. These were
hi. sources of information.—(•• No I no !" froot
Mr. Beismeti.)—Tite Learned Gent. then proceeded
to argue, that it was impossible Oliver could, in the
course of a few days, have organised an insurrection
in different parts of the cousitty, where Ise was a
stranger, fur it appeared that he only remained its the
country from the 25th of May to the lit of June.
He defended the conduct of the Attorney-General
during the trials at Derby, and stated, that Oliver
could not be called es a witness by the Crown, because
he was eekeseluded in the list delivered to the pri-
oesieto; but, independent of this, the Attorney-
General never intended to cull him. because he
knew nothing of the transactions. By the mare-
live itself it •appeared, that Brandreth only raw
Oliver on the 26th of May, and would it be said,
that, before that time, he knew 'milting of a rein-
opirney ? Was it to be supposed that lie end Oli-
ver funned the pion at this, their first and last tneet-
iug ? The fact was, and it was given in evidetwe
on the triads at Derby. that the conspiracy was goifig
on for weeks and weeks before Oliver went to the
country, and Brandreth knew of it. That indivi-
dual was tried first Iwcause he was the chief leader
on the occasi9n—and, in justice to the country, he
ought to he brought first to condign punishment.
Sir S. Rout LLY said, the gars was, whether,
after the important statements made to the House
that night, they could dare, to use the words of his
Hon. Frieud, refuse au examination into the cir-
cumstances ? Ar probably no usnetschnent would
be proposed, he el Id vote for the motion. But,
he confessed, that lie wished those extraordioury
facts to be examined, not by the existing Select
Committee, hint by smother. The Learned Gen-
tleman (the Solicitor-Geuend) had stated that the
sources of Ins Hon. Friend's inforruitt• were pollut-
ed cause he mentioned Mitchell. But Mitchell was
urreated oho the 4th of Mae, and all the transactions
stated iii the narrative took place since that time.
He strongly reprobated the idles. that because his
Majesty's Ministers chose to have a man arrested for
treasonable practices, and afterwards liberated, •1
without trial, that therefore he should be downed
Imam-thy of credit. He denied the accuracy
of the Learned Gentleman's statement, when
lie said it appeared, front the trials at Derby,
that long before the 2Gth of May, Brand-
retli was concerned in treasonable designs.--
The fact was, that the interference of Bruudretls
had not appeared until the ells of June ; the Law
Officers of the Crown were, on the trial, provoked
to go into the earlier proceedings, but they dr.
dieted the invitation. It had been asked, that al-
though Government had not called upon Olivet,
why had not the Prisoners done so ? But his Hoe,
and Learned Friend. the Solicitor-General, kuew

call on him ; but he hail asked why, when they
