RIOTS AT NEWPON Y•

CHARTISTS PLANS FOR RISING AT BI

NEWPORT, WEDNESDAY, ELEVEN P.g•
The evidence to-day pre.sents additional proofs col 1.
firmatory of the view I have all along taketa of the d, ;-
signs of the Chartists throughots't the kingdo,-n. From Je
evidence of Morgan James, and ti.'at of another wit ec ss,
George Hodge, you will be able to collect the .ole
scheme. Frost was to take Newport, and, ore his thr ow-
in;und„ L-Inhaniab Williams, 2,000 under Jones,
up rockets, the other bodies of men in reset nve--ssoo°
straggling hundreds in the nighbourbood who vere onlY
waiting to recnive the arms to be taken from the so or-
were then to march on to Newport, pull down th e
house, and blow up the bridge, so as to prevent the
mails from passinr. Some of the delegates at
mingharn were to be on the look-out, and if the V Teich
and other
mail did not arrive hi a n hour and a half after its time'
the Chartists were to oo,mmence an attack on that t evnis
The whole North was the n to rise, and, as the wit
Mes
the
expresses it, " The Chute was to become
law of the land before cisly-light." This cert aielY
was a very grand scheme, and'
was only deficient in the
trifling circumstance of a want of probability of suc-
cess, a matter which appears newt 'r for a momen t

revolutionists.

Jenkin Morgan ; he resides at Pillgwenlly, in
rough of Newport. He is a milkman and cliti:nediir
ced
by trade. He supplied me %I ith milk up to the Pe' ba
when the riats happened at Der_izes. At that time t
prisoner called at my house, and I' said, "
I understand the Chartists have .leen beaten at Del
vizes, but they could not expect any ot,vier, for the peol?
to be in-
of Devizes are a quiet people, and don't %visit
terrupted." He said, " I see what vou are for--Y°l
are for the locusts eating up the fat of the latid ;" an%
I said, " No, far from that." I said, My huabanu
always voted for reform, but he never wouli contenanee
rebellion. The prisoner raised his arm in a great pas'

sion, and said he should like to see every on. e who was
not for the Charter mown down like the grass. 1T told him
perhaps he might be mown down before me, and de-
sired he would not bring any more milk to my house.
The prisoner said he did not care for that ; at id I re-
plied, no, perhaps not ; and if he would wish to see me
mown down like the grass, he might probably put some-
thing in the milk to do me an injury.
Morgan James sworn—l am a labourer at Pill en-
lly. I have joined the Chartists. I know Joh,l Frost
t
well, and Jones the watchmaker of Pont-y-pool ; ileY
addressed the meetings. They said they would bra."
the Charter by moral force if they could ; and tho./
would have it by force, if they could not have it by
moral force. I know Jenkin Morgan, the prisoner. L
saw him on Sunday, the 3d. He called on me at about
eleven o'clock at night. He told me late was a cap id
over ten men ; he called it a sect ion ; be sai"
I was his man, and must come aloetg with hi°.
I said I had nothing to protect myself if I euainglize
along with him. I had a pipe in my band
he did not then say where we were going,
and the prisoner said you must bring that Wit' 'll

other side of Newport-bridge. He first said be was
going to take Parson Roberts and all his family
town. I asked him what was that for, and he s tc3
confine them in town in the clock-house, servants' en
all, and then he said he had other orders from ters;
the secretary ; he was ordered to take possession 01
Mr. Crossfield's, where there is a great deal of Vile
der. He said Frost and his men, thousands and Owl'
sands, were coming down that morning. He said theY
were coming to Stow-hill to attack the soldiers at tile
poor-house. He said the Charter would be had bef°l°
to the
daylight, for they should take the whole town and
the whole kingdom. He said Frost and his mesa also
were
to attack the soldiers. He said he, the prisoner and hie
men, were to take the powder warehouse, and keep it
for the Chartists. He said Frost and his men wore
to come down at two o'clock on Monday mornbag,
the 4th of November. I went with the prisoner to tle
other side of the bridge, in a field between the
Caerleon and Chepstow roads. When we got into the
field, the captain (Jenkin) and his men, and I along
with them, stood. We were there about twelve o'clock
on Sunday night, I suppose. He said there would be
an insurrection throughout Ireland, Scotland, and every
where at the same moment, and the Charter would
A.he
the law of the land after that night, and every man °
had joined them, aid did not come, would be the first
man killed by them. He said if I met any one on the
road I was to say " beans," and if it were a friend
the Chartists, he would say " well ;" of
we met did not say " well," we were to do what we
liked in that case, for he was no friend to °S.

Stow ; he wa,;: to throw rockets up and powder in the,.
air ; then as soon as they saw that, the prisoner and 113:
men were to go on dtity, and not before. I think
stayed in the field till about three ,o'clock, and thena_
made my escape home. It rained v.,rY
very dark. I was wet to my skin. Next more

hand more than a foot in length, en a long stick, lik,! A

were all to be there at two o'clock in the morning. ,
