The inhabitants of that town and neighbourhood 'were re. i

The Advertisement or Notice appeared in the Wakefield

a Rabble Crew ( Friends of Reform,) assembled, no doubt •
by•instirvq, around the Banking :hop .of Messrs: 1 ughams, ,
near to the door of which shop was eieded a scaffold, for the
accommodation si the fellowing respeetable personages, viz.
Samuel Clay, linen-draper, the Public Orator on the oc:.
cosion, otherwise Master of the Ceremonies,

• Benjamin Ingham, of LOckwOod, 'master cloth-dresser,

Joshua Ingham. .of Nth-field, in the Commission of the
Peac, collier, lime-burner, banker, Esq. Chairman of the
Rabble-COew, by order of the 'Linen-draper.
With a few others, insignificant persons, and one or two
Patriotic Reformers, borrowed from Halifax Parish. To
them must" be added the Motley Crew below the scaffold,
the enereetie Friends of Reform, who are so well described
by the Verses in the Leed's I litelligencer; of July 3
" What rogues-are-these in greasy caps.
w(tia long lank hair, and lanthorn chaps,
" Who throng" the Banker's door ?
The proceedings of the Mob Meeting were published by a
paragraph in' the Wakefield Star, of Friday, lune 2, stating,
that Samuel Clay (the Linen-draper) opened the business—
harangued the numerous and respectable Assembly—called
losnua Inghatto Esq. to the Chair —and in a clear and ex-
pressive manner,. read the Resolutions, (printed in the
Wakefield Paper above-'mentioned,) and also dispersed in
hand bills amongst the country people, which were passed
unanimously with the .plaudits of those persons (rogues in
greasy caps) who surrounded him. And-that the Meeting
-was dismissed -by the cOO% dignified, and respedable Chair.
mm (the humane witness to the character fames Asquith,
the younger,) Joshua Ingham, Esq. with the following im-
pressive words
Gentlemen -I return you thanks 'for the honour you have
done me un thisaaccasion, in calling me to the Chair. It is
an honour I shall never forget. You know, my principles,
and when any Constitutional Question, such as Asquith's,
is brought tor-Ward, connected, as I conceive this to be, with
the liberties; as well as happiness of the country, I shall
never be ashamed (very trqe I) to shew-my face in its sup.
port.
- Then the Motley Crew dispersed, but without that salu-
tary caution, which might make them amends 'for so great a
waste of their valuable time ; for there is no doubt that, if
the dignified Chairman had explained to the Gentlemen in
greasy caps the various uses of hemp, they would have been
converted into more peaceable meinbers.of society It was
an omission pardonable' even by the most rigid Reformer,
and for which the dignified Chairman made .imple amends
on Thursday, the mat of lune, on which day the great ener-
gies of his capacious mind were exe,ted, though-in vain, in
promoting a quit ad of hunianity, viz, to rescue an
unfortunate neighbour in distress.
lames Asquith, the younger, son of fames Asquith, of
Mirtield, blacksmith, west hatlotted to serve as a Local Mi-
litiaman for that town, and attended on the 3 ist of May, at
Wakefield, before the Deputy Lieutenants, to take the oath ;
when Olio was administering to him, he exclaitned at the
words "True allegiance to his Majesty king George,"-e
" D King George,'' -- lie Was committed, for he could nut
be persuaded out of his sobriety, and to retract. And even
tarnes'Asquith. the elder, his Father, declared, that his son
was as sober as any of the Deputy Lieutenants. A Father,
of notorious charmer in Mirfietit, having told the Vicar, that
he, old Asquith, would freely give a day to pull down Kings
and Priests ! The next clay, the dignified Huddersfield
.Chairman appeared in person, to speak. in favour of the im-
prudent youth ; aid as the character of Joshua Ingham, Esq.
is exeelled by none, for the stridest veracity, rnodesy, diffi-
dence, mildness of temper, disinterestedness, haimanity, and
fidelity to the King, his Crown, and Dign ty, and zeal to
serve every poor man in -distress, he aetonisheil the' Deputy
. Lieutenants by the most excellent character he gave of old
Asquith and all his family.
I t was an affetting sighr to behold the pathetic spectacle
of the dignified Chairman of Huddersfield pleading in vain
for the indiscreet Son of an indiscreet Father. This sincere
friend of a fellow-creature in distress, even pledged himself
to be one of the unfortunate youth's bail, ye,. it was all in
vain. The Justices and Deputy Lieutenants did their duty ;
they would- not sutler the law to be frittered away by philat,
.tiiropy, it took its course, and the dignified bail being ab-
sent, lasses Asquith, the younger, (who d King George,)
was liberated on the bail of the highly-respected lames As-
.quith, the father.' and another of his sons; the culprit in
fifty pounds, and his two kinsmen in twenty-five pounds
o :each. The said lames Asquith, the younger, being bound
appear at Bradford Quarter Sessions; with the sincere re.
gret of his compassionate 'neighbours.
By Order of •
R. H. BEAUMONT, a Magistrate,
Whitletliali, near Huddersfield. •
