TIIURiDAY AF FEILNOON

The trial of the i :St (it 114.1. vi 1,014 c, 1,•,1 with
the late ells urhances at Birmingham Lavi ig terminated
last night, Mr. Justice LITTLED,tLE proceeded to-day
to pass sentence upon the various prisoners.
Jeremiah Howe!, Francis Roberts, and .I.hn Jones
were then placed in the dock, and the Clerk, of Ar-
raigns hat lug inquired, in the usual forte, whether tiiee
had any thing to 'say wits sentence of de nth and execution
should not be pass .d upon them, accerdieg to Los,
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE having put on the black
cap, s std, tee prisoners had been convicted of felony by.
a jury of their countrymen, fur dernolishiug the house of
James and Henry Bourne, at Birminghatn, and thet
offence the policy of the law had for many years made
punishable with death ; and although of late years to my
offences which before were caOld, had, by the humane
policy of the Leeislature, been mitigated, the punish-
ment for that offence had not been tuoug-ht proper to
be reduced, but still remained a felany punishable with
death. He thought, however, that even at that time,
with regard to offences which still were capital, if thtre
were any alleviating circumstances, mercy would he ge-
nerally extended ; but he regretted to say, their off Lice
was not of that description, nor was it oee which, in the
discharge of his duty, he could honestly recommend to
mercy. The town of Birmingham, they were aware, had
been for a considerable time in a very excited state. There
had beed riots front time to time, which it had been
found very difficult to suppress, till at length, on the
15th of July, they had reached their highest pitch.
Houses had been demolished and burned, property to
a considerable antouut destroyed, anti, but for the in-
terference and interposition of a superior force, the mob
would have had entire possession of the town—a mute
greater amount of property might have been destroyed,
end many lives sacrificed. In that act of demoliii
the prisoners had utifortunately engaged themselves,
and had began the devastation, and he therefore fount.

outrages, and the convictions that fhliowed, and who

commission of similar offences. Although he could
hold out no mercy here, there was a hope of obtaining
it in another world, front that Alniighty 13, jag who
understood a.l hearts, and who was always disposed to
grant it where there was true repentance. Tht it time
was fast approaching its end, and they ought to pre-
pare to meet their God. He entreated them to em-
ploy their time in true repentance for all their offences,
and endeavour to obtain, through the merits and inter-
cession of their Saviour Ji.sus Christ, that mercy front
God which they could not hope for front man. It now only
remained f;,r him to pronounce the awful sentence of the
law, which W S that they Jeremiah Howe!, Francis

place from whence they came, and thence to the i lace
of execution, and that they be there severally hanged
by the neck till they were dead, and might the Lord, of
his infinite mercy, have mercy on their souls.
The prisoners, who did not appear to be much
affected, were then removed frotn the clock.
Tnomas Aston, a 3oung lad who was convicted with
the three foregoitig prisoners, was then paced in the
dock.

Toe 14-arned JUDGE said it would be his duty to
record jmignient of death against the prisoner, but he
did not think the awful sentence of the law would be
carried eff•et in his ease.

Neak, William Sim; s,William Bade:, Eleazer
Hulles, and James Pomeroy, who had been convicted
of a misdemeanour, were tnen placed at the bar, and
sentenced to imprisonment and hard labour for 15 calen-
dar months.

John Drinkworlh, for a misdemeanour, to be impri.
soned and kept to hard latiour for 12 calendar months.
James Rhodes, for a misdemeanour, to be imprisoned
and kept to hard labour for 9 calendar months.
John Storey, Frederick Mason, and Thomas &liter,
for a misdemeanour, to be imprisoned and kept to hard
labour for 6 calendar months.

John Tallow, for a misdemeanour, to be imprisoned
and kept to hard labour for one cdendar month.
John Smith, William Clift, and Thomas .King, who
had been convicted of a riot, entered into their own re-
cognizances in the sum of 404 each, to come up for
sentence whenever they were called upon, and were
then ordered to be discharged.

SENTENCE ON COLLINS AND LOVETT.
John Ca/ins and Ilan. Lovett, for a misdemeanour,
were then placed at the bar ; and in answer to the
questions of the Clerk of the Arraigns whether they
had either anything to say why sentence should not be
pronounced upon them ? Lovett said, the Jury were
prejudiced ag-ain,t him. He had it from good authority
that several of them had expresscit a wish that all the
Chartists should be hanged. He thought that was a
very pod reason, taking into aciaiunt the evidence that
had been offered at the trial, and the truth of the facts,
and the prejudiced feeling of the Jury, why the circum-
stances Ought to we4h very much with the Court on
the present oeclsion tti proilouricin;: sentence.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said they had each been
convicted of having published a seditious libel, and he
had taken the circumstances of their cases into his
serious consideration. With regard to Collins the Jury
had recommended him to mercy on account of his hav-
ing received a good character. The Jury did not so
recommend Lovett, but at the same time he had also
received a very good character from the witnesses.
Although the Jury had not recommended him to the
merciful consideration of the Court, it would not make
the slightest difference between them. The sentence
of the Court was, that John Collins and William Lovett
be each imprisoned in the common gaol of the county
for one year.
Collins said, in the year 1821 George Edmonds,
Charles Maddox, William Greathead Lewis, and
Thomas Jonathan \Voider were convicted of a simlar
offence, and Lid mute an application that they might
be imprisoned on the debtors' awl not on the felons'
side of the prison. He humbly made a similar appli-
cation in thtir cases, and that the same indulgence
might be extended to them.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said it did not appear to
hhn that he hail any power to give directions to that
effect. They alluded to what had taken place in 1821,
in which an application to be confined oil the debtors'
side had been acceded to. Although, generally speak-
ing, the debtor's side should b.; appropriated to debtors
only, he did not mean to say that the Secretary of
State had not the to make the order. but since
1821 some Acts of Parliament had been passed for the
elass:fieation of prisoners, be thought in the year 1824
or 1825, which took that power out of the hands of the
Jude, and kit the classification in the hands of the
Visiting Justices. It did not appear to him, therefore,
that he had any authority to give directions. If any
application was thought necessars:, their course would
be to apply to the Secretary of State.
Colitis said that not a sery law time since,,about
eighteen months ago, two persons, Guest and Watts of
Birmingham, were imprisoned on the debtors' side of
the gaol, not fur debt, but for selling unstanaped pub-
lications.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE hardly thought that had
been done by the direction of the Judge .
Collins believed the men had been tried before the
Magistrates at the Sessions at Birmingham, anti the
application was made to the Court. He presumed the
present Court had quite as much power as the Court
of Quarter Sessions.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE did not think ho bad any
power to make the order.
The CLERK OF ARRAlGNS—Certaihly not, my
Lord, sitting as a Judge of Assize.
The prisoners then bowed and retired.
Wm. Dowling, an extensive ribbon manufacturer of
Coventry, who had been convicted of larceny, was sen-
tenced to twelve months' imprisonment in the House o!
Correction at Coventry.

WEDNESDAY EVENING.
Alin Bird was placed at the bar charged with
having, on the 15th July, at Birmingham, demolished
and destroyed, and pulled down the house of George
Naden. Another count charged him with beginning to
pull down and destroy; and in a third count he was
charged with a riot.

Mr. WADDINGTON Appeared for the prosecution,
he was engaged not for the Crown, but for Mr. Nader,
a grocer in New-street, Birmingham. The Learned
Counsel then referred to the law proving
,the crime to
be capital.

The prisoner was undefended by Counsel.
Edward Bladen Adams was first called and examined
by Mr. Waddington--1 am clerk at St. Paul's
Chapel, Birmingham. On 15th of July I was in the
Bull-ring, near the corner of Philip-street, ni ar the
Market Hal. I saw a great number of people coining
up Digbeth, from Ehbastan-street arid front Spiceall-
street and New-street, towards the Bull-ring. I was in
the Bull-ring three quarters of an hour before anything
particular occurred. The fiist thing was a ru.iiing up
Moore-street, and then stones thrown in the Bull rind
at houses and persons. I, in consequence, went into
Mr. Taylor's house. I could see what was or,goi g
from the window. I saw the crowd coin down Moorl-
street again into the Bull-ring. The windowe-
Messrs. Bournei and of several other silo were
broken. The crowd conio up th„
as far as Mr. Naden's opposite the n-ring
New-street, ebout 100 yards from Messrs Belot'utr eest..
