EXAMINATIONS AT MONMOUTH.
WEDNESDAY MORNING.

Magistrates prebunt.--The Rev. James Coles and Mr.
John Roberts.

Mr. Phelps—William Jones, the prisoner, is charged
with high treason, but as the evidence is principally his
own confession, I withdraw that charge, and will take
him for the minor offence of conspiracy and riot.

con, In consequence of information I received, I went
to the house of Lewis Hugh, in the parish of Trellong.

the prisoner there. A person named William Voss
accompanied me. I found the prisoner in the kitchen
by the fire, I told him he was my prisoner. He
said, "Itis a bad job for me." I asked him if his leg
was getting well of the wound. I had received infor-
mation that he had berm wounded in the back at
Newport, When I asked the prisoner how his wound
was, he said it was much better. I then took
him prisoner, and conveyed him to Brecon, While
we were on the way the prisoner offered me a sovereign
to let him escape, lie made a statement to me as to
how he got his wound, I offered him no inducement to
confess. The prisoner told me he was forged to go to
Newport by a man William L)sham ; that he had no-
thing in his hand until he came within about two miles
of Newport, and then he received a butcher's cleaver
from one of the mob; that he walked from there in the
rear with Mr. Frost down to the Westgate Inn. He said
