Charles -Nick;son, a sarldlcr, residing in Moore-
street, after corroborating the general evidence of the
preceding witnesses, said-1 saw, at nine o'clock,
the
mob throwing stones at Mr. Naden's shop. There vvaP
much damage don:.. I sa.w the prisoner there.
Idi i not know his name. I had no acquaintance t‘dh
him. lam quite sure he is the man. I was about four
yards off him --not more than four. I observed bite
partieularly, because he came the most forward in throw-
tug stones ; and he had in his hand a piece of iron, be-
twct.n two and three feet long. Is iw him throw many
stones. He was swinging the piece of iron over his
head. He said something, but what it was I could not
d stinguish, and shouting. 1 saw him in New street ;
on the toliokig morning in Moore-street ; and I let
him pass, as there was no policeman about ; and 1
knew that I wou'd knowhim again. He had his
arm in a sling in the afternoon ; and I gave
him into custody.
By the COURT—I siw him throw stones through Mr.
Nackt:s wiiidos. I saw him throw several.
By the Prisoner—l saw you throwing stones a fel
minutes before nine. I pointed you out
next day, a"
described the dress you were the night before. when
the smock-frock was taken off which you wore your
dress underneath corresponded with my description.
Edward Bolton corroborated in every particular the
evidence of the preceding witness, and swore panic:Ll-.
lariy to the identity of the prisoner.
By ilia Prisoner—l saw you throwing stones about
nine o'clock.

This closed the case for the prosecution.
The prisoner in his defence stated he had not been
in town from half-past eight in the morning of the riot
until six next day. I was not nearer than Dale-end that
night. I have win tsses to prove it. I saw them )'s-
terAity but not to-day.
The witnesses were called but did not answer.
A female from the gallery said she knew where they
lodged and she would go and fetch them.
An officer was sent with her. •
Hannah Ryland was the first.—l live in Brie{chill!
street, Birmingham. I work for my living. The Pri'
soner was at my house at seven o'clock on AlondaY
night, the 15th of July ; he left at eleven ; he was not
out of the house during that time.
By Mr. WADDINGTON.—I saw him all the time. I
was in the house with him, and in the same room.
There were nine persons in the same room with us ; 0"
was a young woman, with whom the prisoner keeps
company ; neither of them live with me, but they often
meet at my house. Ann Gre4thead is the girl. I
cannot say how hc was dressed. He had, I believe, a
smock-frock on. He had not his arm in a sling when
he came to our house or left it. I did not go before the
Grand Jury when he was apprehended.
Ann Greathead—The night of the fire the prisoner
was in my company from seven to eleven at Mrs. 111"
land's house. He left my company about half-past
eleven.

Nickison recalled by Mr. WADDINGTON—When the
prisoner was asked what was the muter with his arms
the prisoner sAid it was the d—d London police who
had struck' him the night before.
'rhe prisoner denied saying so, but that be fell from
his own door.

His LORDSHIP, in summing up, observed, that by
the law of tile country, if any person were charged WO
demolishing and pulling down a house, or assisting.
in such demolition, or pulling down, and it were proved
in evidence that the intention of the mob or party aej
cused were to pull down and destroy, then the capital
offence was proved ; but if the mob left the house with-
out being Raced or driven from it before the work of
destruction was accomplished, it was laid down
by the lAA, that the intention was not to
demolish and destroy, On this point evidence had
been given, and he thought the Jury would be able to
distinguish ; if they had not that intention, he thought
the indictment could not be proved ; but if, on the
other hand, they were of a contrary opinion, then the
prisoner, it they were s distied of his identity, would be
found guilty, an I liable to suff,A. death as a felon.
The Jury then retired to consult, and the Court
a-Thorned to the Judges' house. The Jury delivered a
verdict of Not Guilty there, at eight o'clock, having
been in deliberation about an hour.

CHARTiS MEETING AT
LEAMINGTON.

A Meeting- of Chartists took place on Wednesday
evening in the grounds adjoining the Birmingham Ta-
vern. Although no previous notice of the meeting had
been given, in a very short time there was a large as-
semblage congregated for the purpose of hearing the
statements that would be made relative to the which had just terminated at Warwick.
Doctor 'TAYLOR. addressed the meeting at some
ength. He slid he had it from the best authority
Dr.tthatthere were policemen in disguise sent down us spies.
Dr. Taylor then alluded to his having beira that daY
discharged from prism without any e..-idnce having.
been offered against him, and he was determined not to
lose a single hour in agitating for the cause in the
advocacy of which he had pissed his life. Englishmen.
had m nay blessings to he thankful for, which Scotchrden
were without. They had London policemen—they had
Bishops—i hey had Poor-laws—and they had a propertY
qul fi •ation for Members of Parliament. But his l
I
countrymen did not envy them the enjoyment of these
blessings. They rather wondered that Englishmen
were such fools and slaves as to submit to these things...
This, however, he could assure Lord John Russell,
although his spies were present, that before Scotland
would submit to such a state of things, the land from •
North to South would be a sinoaking ruin—every field
a field of battle, and every valley watered with blood.
—(Much ceeering.)
Mr. CAIIOG denounced the conduct of the Govern
gent with great vehemence, in instituting the pre7;oo.t
prosecutions, which he described as the basest aara most •
despicable that had ever been exhibited by any Go-
vernment in this country. He then procerAled. to ani-
nridvert in very strong terms upon the o'onduct of the
Metropolitan Police, both at Birmingham,
and in their
evidence at the trials at Warwick. He complained of
the malignity of the Attorney-Geo.oral, who was mere'y
a base tool of the basest Government that ever swayed
the destinies of Eagland. They might attempt to put
down the present agitation by these prosecutions, but
they would signally fail. So long as he had breath be
would exert himselt for the cause of freedom, and when.
he was prevented hundreds would rise up in his place.
—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. WILsoN then addressed the meeting, and went
into a long history of the conduct of the Police at armingh-an.
Mr. HawrwELL afterwards addressed the meeting.
which then seperated, after giving three cheers for the
Charter.

• fire to Mr. Banks', chem'sts, and another house op.
• pos te. There was a fire near Neison's monument, and
I saw the prtsoner come from that spot to those houses.
Ch tries Smith, store icc•ep, r, saw a great crowd come
up the Bu.l-rutg. Ott the fith of Jaly. I was at Mr.
shop ; I wtts left in care of it ; I e!o ed a
I ad lactic
little. 1 heard a great tuatu:t and noise.
ami saw a %ast nutn.,cr of people coming up the Bull'
ring, and I ordered the door to be closed. The shut-
ters were fastened with bars of iron. I heard a break-
ins of windows up stairs ; I went up ; the stones were
coming into the dining-room very thick. The dining-
rn.!.ll wintiow-frames were made of copper and brass,
anti were not broken. The furniture was injured
and 1 ralt,ti. I heard a great noise at the shop-window.
I %tent down, and it appeared to me they were Lreak-
ing wt.) the shop through the shutters with bars of iron.
Ti,e shutters gave way and stones came into the shop.

Nearly the whole of the shop front was reft open, but
he lower part of the doors or the stone-work wore not
broken. The mob then rushed in and helped them-
s ivus to the goods. The rioters cried " Fire! fire!
tire! Bring fire here ! D—n him, fire him !" This
went co till the military came. The military, I think,
came in belt' an hour. I went into a sitting room at
the back of my own shop, the door between which and
the shop was broken. It was a glass door. They only
broke the alas;. Three four-pound weights were thrown
into the shop.
