BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Mr. Bowyer and another gentleman, two of the Council of the
National Union, came before Mr. MiNsiitmL, the sitting Magis-
trate, this morning, and made the following curiens statement :
Mr. Bowyer, as spokesman, said—lt will be in the recollection
of your Worship that a short time ago a meeting was to have
been held at White Conduit-house, which created a very con-
siderable alarm in the minds both of the authorities and the
public. Since that time he had learned that a number of poor
persons were employed to sell through the streets a great
quantity of small tn-coloured flags, such as the one which he
produced.—(The flag produced was about a foot square, the
stripes running in the same way as the French flag, and
fixed on the end of a cane about two and a half feet in
length.) He said that) in itself the selling of these things might
not be against the law, but as that flag was, in the minds of the
people of England, connected with so many scenes of bloodshed,
it was necessary to trace from what source they were produced,
and he was in a condition to prove, before the Magistrate, that
a Peeress of well known Tory principles had lent herself to the
production of them, and also was so anxious for their being
spread that she employed poor persons to go through the town
with them on the Saturday before the meeting, as well as on the
Monday. The one which he produced was bought by a re-
spectable tradesman at the West-end of the town from
a poor woman, who would prove upon oath that she
was employed by a Marchioness for the purpose of distri-
buting these articles. He said that when this was proved, it
would shew that there were in this country some persons who
could look with more pleasure on excesses committed by the
people than on the:peaceable triumph of Reform.
Mr. Bowyer handed in his own card as well as that of the
tradesman whom he spoke of, and both he and the poor woman
were perfectly ready to come forward if his Worship thought the
case demanded more attention.
Mr. MINSHULL said, that in the meantime he would say
nothing on the question ; but directed the gentlemen to go into
the Clerks' Room, and there leave their statement in writing,
and the flag, and he would again see them on the subject.
Here the matter rests at present.
