SATURDAY, OCT. 31.

ROBERRY ON THE RIVER THAMES.

The Court met at the usual hour, and proceeded
on the trial of Winter, Allen, Taylor, Ivey, Knox,
Cooper, and G. Harris, which had been suspended
on the night preceding. -
Brown resumed his evidence.-LFenWick was sent
with the silk to Cooper ; witness and the others in•
company,' remained_ at the Leap Bar until he're-
turned ; he was then in company with Ingram.—
Cooper came soon after, and was told by Caddick
that there was 1100 cwt. of silk ; to which he an.-
swered, be did not care how tuna there was, as
would pay for it in proportion as it was de-
livered to him. It was then agreed that he should
pay twenty shillings iu the pound 'for it.. Joseph
Winter, the prisoner, then told Cooper that- he
Wanted Some money 'to send to his Master for the
-hire of the barge ; upon Which Cooper gave hint
three pounds, and desired them to take care of
.themselves, and not keep together. They were to
Inca next morning-at. an old iron shop in Golden-
lane, but as be and Winter were proceeding to the
rendezvous, they were apprehended by Goff, the
.officer. • The witness, was, in Consegnente,
'lodged in the New Prison ; and while there, Sa-
muel Harris, - the attorney, came to him without
having been sent for. 'Winter, who was also in
the same prison, told the witness, that Harris had-
also called.upon him, but he did-not know who
had senthim. Harris then called Winter and the
into a back yard, and told them that he had
got instructions from Cooper to defend them, and
to assist theM with money, and that he would
',. send ;his brother to :them. Next day, George
Harris, the prisoner, came to, them with 20/.- tell,
ing them that- they should want for nothing
while they
,were there---and that, provided they
kept their own counsel, nothing could happen to
them. About five, 'afterwards, they sent Taylor
and B. Allen, who had come to see them, for
more money ; arid the day
,after, the. prisoner,
George Hsrris, brought them 14/.. more, as he
Said, from, his brother. At 'another time he
'Nought t'-An 10/. and -shortly • after they were
discharged. At the Thames Police Office
they received 21. more froth Mr. S. -Harris.—
Shortly after, Avitness and Winter called on
Cooper, at his bOttse in ltitcliffe-highway, for
more. Money ; but. be demurred, Considering the
great advances he.bad already made to' several of:
them. It was.agret,d, however, to meet at the'
Sir William Walworth; next day, and to settle the•
,business, Winter and witness went accordingly,
and were met by .Cooper and Ingram. ' They re- .
tired into the skittle-ground, to converse more
freely, when .Cooper said, he had declared before
he would give only 9001. for the whole. This,
they exclaimed, was not half-enough; but Cooper
said, he had agreed to give only sixteen Shillings
per pound for the silk, and this made exactly-9001.
as to the feathers, be had only twenty pounds of
them: If, however, Winter would' go with him,
he would give him 501. and settlellie-balanCe, he
having paid in all nearly 600ra to several of them,
and to Winter and witness 120 L The witness, ac-
companied by Winter, went accordingly to Cooper's
house, but were desired to go to the second public
house from his; and to wait till he came, which
they did, They were soon; however,' apprized by.
Ingram, that he had been apprehended. Ingrain,
at the same time,._hrought him 201. which heiaid,.
was' all Mrs „Cooper had,-and. advised theM to dis
perie. Those.. twenty pounds were divided be-

tweets the. !kitness, Winter, T4lor, and Bedia's
, .
main. Allen. The witness alter that weft With
Winter to Harris'S house, in Houndsclitch fbr more
moneys and were desired to callnext day ; but on
tileir.way thither they were Met by Mr..notchson
and Smith the officer, and the witness Was.appre-
! headed, but the others escaped for• that time.
WitneSs was then lodged in Cold R. /I-fields pri-
son, where Cooper bad been sent before MM. He
had. some .conversation with him through a gate
before two courts,. and:hearing he meant to hang
~- thern 'all, he sent a Message to that effect to Al-
len, Taylor, and Winter, confined in other parts,
,of the prison, and was himself admitted by the
Magistrates as King's evidence, and was diScharged-
from Cold Bath-fields prison. .
. G. Scares, 'a 'lighterman, , had met Brown and
:Winter at the Harp; in Harp-lane, on the Satur
day before the .Sisters hoy was robbed, and was
• offered to take a share in the business, but he de-
'! 'elided it as being too dangerous; Brown wanted
Aid), to go to -the boy and personate Bampton,
tbtast he would have nothing to say to the business:
Winter said afterwards, that be would think no
`MOO Of . killing Bampton than to ' shoot at a
sparrow. Bampton was a deceitful man ; he
„might have. ran his vessel ashore. at Old. Haven,
or on the Bligh Sand; without incurring any sus-
picion, instead of which he bad deluded them by.
false prothises, and. had Made him spend all his
money. :After the robbery, witness gave. informa-
tion of those circumstances to Mr.' Lucas, his
employer.
• Mr. Lucas corroborated that part of the last.
'witness's -testimony which related to him, and
stated also that he had given information of it
to Mr. Hotchson.
Ralph Fenwick, examined by Me. GIihNEY. •.i
I am a ship-chandler, and reside at Green-'
wich. I am acquainted with George lirowa,whoi ,
as -well as myself, has been. admitted King's eyi7
pence.—lis June last, he asked me to go down
the Riser with him to get some silk, to which I
consented. We went to Gravesend, but,' not
being_ very: successful, we. returned to town. I
then agreed to go down, on the 29th of June,
on another expedition. Some. time , after I met
with Ingram, at 'a public-house inWhitechapel,
who offered to buy part of any silk which. we
might procure... Next day he, in company with
Cooper, met Ingram, who said, there ,was alarge'
tiudritity of silk at Stangate Creek ; but expressed
. his unwillingness to speak before Cooper, who
wag", a stranger to him.' But being- told that all
present were friends, he said, that a vessel,
laden With silk, . Was then lying at
,Stangate
. Creek, that 'she was to be unloaded by a boy, and
that it would be easy to take the property from
' the Tatter vessel. 'Cooper said, he did not care
where the silk came from—he could get money
for:as, much as Might,be. I requested him, to ac-.
company me to the Borough, to see Brown and
, the rest of the party. Cooper said, he would ea s.: ,
then deal with one only, as be did not like that
so,-many persons should know his :biisiaess.—
Ingrain and I then went with him to Brown,
at his mother --in 7law's house,. in the 807-
rough, where they talked , apart from me.—
Ingranr:then went away with me, and it was
agreed.that notice Should be given' when to
go to Dagenhani-beach, to receive the silk,
when stolen. Ingram was ordered, on the: next
Thursday, or. Friday, to , go on- board Winter's
barge, at Greenbitfie, 'which he did. He -took
on. board myself, William . Armstrong, Joseph
Winter, 'and William Winter, at Gravesend, for .
the purpose of stationing ourselves; and then
sailed to SheernesS, where we remained for a
day. and a lialf.', In the mean time, 'Bampton
came ons board, with -another man, whom I
belieeeto be Knox, the prisoner: .' Bampton in-
formed us, that the quarantine had expired, and
that lie ,would begin to unload about four o'clock
the next day. Brown and his companions then _
'directed me to go to London, and apprize Cooper
of the. delay which had taken place in procur-
hug the goods. I accordingly went, but could
not, inch Cooper at home. I 'then: endeavoured
,toiAteslngram, -who was gone to a fair at Ep- '
ping Foresf.. I went to the fair, and told him
the -goods could not arrive on the Friday.—
Ingram objerved, that he and Cooper had waited
all day at Dagenham, and he promised to be there
on the Saturday. I immediate:y returned to Sheer-
neis; where I went on board Winter's barge.—
Bampton's' boy sailed soon after, and Winter's
vessel was within musket-shot of. her during the
voyage. A man came on board from- the boy,
whom I did not then know, but I since learned to
have been Knox. In consequence, of the vessel
not being run ashore, I heard my companions say
that if was a d--d bad job. One amongst them
said, if the business was to be done at all, a .
signal .must be given. Another of them: ob-
served, that there was an old fisherman- on
board the boy, 'who knew the River navigation
' as well as any of them, and, consequently, that.
.nothing could be done till they arrived in Lon-
don, at the Custom-house road... They called'
Bampton a deceitful sort of a :man, for inn-
. posing upon them. They followed the boy to
Gravesend, where I went on sh6;.e. 'This -was
. - on the 4th of July. • Next day I arrived in
London, and happened to see Cooper and In-,
gram, at St. George's Church, in the Borough.,
They were coming to town on the top of a stage-
coach ; they immediately came down,. and -corn-
plained,
that I had nbt come to'Dagenham,where
they had waited all Friday and Sattirdayand
observed, that they were trifled with. In taking
, a walk up the Borough, met J.. Winter and W.
. Allen—we. went into the back parlour of an, inn,
where we had some conversation. I then informed -
them, that I was determined to have nothing fur-
ther to do with the business. On the Wednesday .
. after the robbery was contmitted, I was going over
the quays, by the Custain=bouse—l saw a number
of'pers'ons' standing there, and heard from them
that the hoy had been . robbed—, I then went to
Lambeth to lobk after Winter:" I asked him
whether he could tell me where Brown was -?
. He said Fshould find him at the Royal Oak, at
Vauxhall,- 'that- : afternoon.. I went there with
Winter ;' ArmStiong came in soon after, and
Benjamin Allen; and, in the course of time afL
tcrnoon-Brown also came in. I-did not know any
one then.except Winter, to ask about the silk,
1 and nothing passed on the subject injury pre-
sence. frown and Winter went into the passage

together, soon after which they returned to the
robin; I left the
:house with Brown, and we
wentAii Ivey's house, No. 1. Artillery-lane, Bi=
shop4ate-street. I did not find Ivey at home,
but :were told that if we cane the next morning
before ten o'clock, we should see him. We went
'there- accordingly, and saw hey. IL! mccom-
. pained us to the Leaping-bar, in Bieckfriars
road , Caddick and Norman- were there ; Brown
asked -me. if-I would carry a sample of silk to the
prisoner Cooper; I took a sample there, which I
received from Norman -or Caddick. Mrs. Cooper.
-took the samesample :from Inc ; -she.put it in the
fold of as window curtain ; I sto.pPed till Cooper
;came home ;' ingram came with him ; they said, as
soon as they had lteard.of tlie robbery, they went
toDagenhain-beach, expecting the'silk would go
therei, beitig disappointed, they then crossed to
GreepOch, and went to my house; I told Cooper
I brought a Sample of silk from Brown and some
-OtherS'; I told him he was to go to' the sign of the
Leaping-44r, to -agree with the parties for some
ofthe, property ; be said he would go, and asked
melb stop and cline with him ; the sample was
taken out of the window-curtain the moment
Cooper came in ; he examined it, and said—" Very
good." After' dinner he desired me and !imam
to go to Blackfriars-bridge and , wait for I:itn.
We waited some time, but he did not come to us,
and we then went to the Leaping-bar, but lie was
not there ; afte,. which Ingrain and I went to his
house, and remained till he returned. He told me
he had seen Brown, Caddick, and Norman, at the
Leaping-bar, and had settled about the silk with:
them. Hesaid he was going next morning to meet
them at a house in Golden-lane, to arrange about
taking the silk away. Caddick, Cooper, Ingram,
Norman and I, went to this-house in Golden-lane.
—JUst as *e left it, George /Brown's brother came
up, and told me, in private, that Winter and his
brotherAvere tak en into custody on Thursday night.
That afternoon I went to Cooper's house, and told
him that. Brown and Winter were in custody. I
bad heard that Evans, the officer, had been making
inquiry after me, and 1 asked bim what I bad
better-do, -:He told rue I had better go down to
fire country, .along 'with Ingrain, out of the way,
for if I was taken the bUsiness -would look blacker.
I told him Livanted money to enable me to leave
town, and he answered, Ishould have what money
Lwanted: -Caddick" came in, in the mean time,
and requested Cooper to give him 50/. Cooper
gave
.01. to me, at first, but afterwards said, he
had to give Brown 31. and if I would give him 3/.
back, that would make an even-
,50/.. I did give
him back the 3/. and Caddick then declined having
'any. I went with Ingram down to Chadwell,
and remained there six weeks, chiefly at Thomp-
son7s. I slept mostly at the Greyhound public-
house. My wife came down tOrhadwell to me,
and staid there part of the time. After being
there a fOrtnight or three weeks, I came to London
to see Cooper. I went to a public-house in Pic-
cadilly that belongs to him. I tact him there,
and found Caddick, Norman; and a man they called
Uncle Dick, in his company. They seemed con-
fused at my presence, and' stopped their conversa-
tion. Cooper and Caddick went out into the pas-
sage—Coopet and I sPoon after left the house
together. I asked him how long -I—was to stop
in the country ? He said, in-a very few days time
I might come home, and that he should have the
remainder of the silk in his possession. He said
he had a great deal of trouble With Caddick and
Norman, -as they were bad characters. I then
went back to Chad Well. ' 'ln about a week I re-
turned home to Greenwich, and some three after 1
was taken into custody. 1 was admitted a witness
by the Magistrate, and baVe been kept in the
House of Correction ever since.''

Jades 'Jones, the watchman employed near
Bake 's beard, in the beginning of July,
of a,hoy,,,having been robbed of silks and feathers.
Sawa cart, about three o'clock on the morning
of the" tobbery, at the foot of Holland-street,
and going up that street. He then went towards
the Sli&e•at Baker's Dock, and saw three or four
men.-with a boat ;' they took some things out of
the
.boat, and put them on shore against some
pig iron.
,One of the men welt away, and the
other three went off in the boat. He saw. several
sailing barges lying off, and a man very much like
IVinter cnit. in the River, in one of those barges.
After,this, a. cart came down the passage to the
Docks,, and the goods were put into it by two
Men. *He' was some time after this examined at
the Thames Police Office about that business, and
while there,.. and sitting in a chair, George Brown
came and sat by hinf---put his hand behind, and
put three three-shillings pieces into the witness's
hand. After Brawn's and Winter's first discharge,
he met them at the Orange. Tree, near Baker's
Dock.

William John Bannister, who resides in Wool-
pack-yard;' Gravel-lane, between BlackfriarS-road
and the Borough, and about three hundred yards
from Baker's Dock, saw on the 9th of July a cart
backed down the yard; two persons besides
.the
carman' were assisting in loading. it with bags,
with which the cart went off; on Saturday, the
I lth,, saw it come again, when it was backed
down to the same place; saw four more full.bag3,
something like corn or potatoes, put into the cart.
On the Monday following, the cart -came again,
.and went off,with full bags, but the witness did
not see thern
.put in. His suspicions
.then rose
very high," and he took the name of the cart ; the
naive. w_as-:.!•‘,Jaines Sprigs, Red Lion-court, Saf-
fron-hill;". on that day told a friend of Mr. -1-lotch-
son What he had observed. Re .knew Normari,
whom he identified, and to the best of his belief,
he assisted.in putting the goods into the cart on
both days, and he saw him following the cart on
the other day ; be did not know whether or no
Norman bad a stable in the yard ; but there was
one belonging to -a man of the name of Whitworth,
and the cart was backed conveniently toload froni
that stable.

Edward TOwnsend Whitworth proved Isis hay.
inter* let that stable to Norman on, tbe 4th of July,
and which he continued to occupy, until it was
visited by the Police-otficers.
James, Sprigs,. carman of Red Lion-court, Saf-
fron-hill, was on the 10th of July hired in Smith-
field, between 11 and 12 o'clock before noon, and•
taken over Blackfriar's-bridge, by a stranger, to
a place between the bridge. and Christ Church.—
The stranger asked him if he had any cora; o
his answering in the negative, be desired him to

i

- buy
some; which he .did: On his return -he found
hit i tart, loaded with three or four s'aeks, ,aild his
• hot se's bead turned towards the bridge. ,The
stran,ger told him 'f 'you hare been-so long that
.f
have done without,you--follow that Gentleman,"
pointing to a man at some distance, Which he did.
Tirtis,perst-in led him over the bridge, along Bridge-
street, tip to Ludgate-hill; and :yound St. Paul's
Chinek-yard, guidingzhim•all the way, and final-
, ly:conducted him to a street near the Curtain-
road. 'He saw him knock at the door of a house
infiie-street, and go in. Ilie,-.backed his, cart to,
that door,:the man helped him to unload, and paid
him seven shillings. It was, the same man who.
.had guided him from' Blackfriars-road. The wit-
ness thought the prisoner Cooper very like that
-man in bulk and shape, but could not 'swear to
•him, as he had not seen his face. For when the
arson paid the witness, he was fixing the tail-board
of his cart. ' The stranger came from the house
with a quick step, put the money in his hand from
behind, and went in again directly.
Alexander ,Gibbs, silk manufacturer, residing
I`.-10. 21,. Cuntberland-street, near the -Curtain-
road,'Shorediteh, knew the prisoner Cooper, .and
on his proposal had bought from him at two dif-
ferent times 6261b5. of Valencia silk, at the rate of
three and twentv shillings the pound, ready Money,
which he paid him at different titne6. Sprigs, he'
proved, had brought aid first parcel on the 10th
of July. The silk he got from Cooper he sold to
Green, No. 1., • Worship-square, for six amt
twenty shillings and,sixpence per pound. •
Mr. Theophilus Pereival.,,lnoprietor of silk mills
at Briton, .in.Somersetshire, had received from
Mr. Green 6021b5. of silk to be thrOwni it came
in different invoices. He recollected Mr. Hotch-
son coming down to Bruton, and produced to him,
in
,consequence of his ,application, that part of
the sills which had not been thrown; Witness,
on examining- the silk, found that some of 'the
skeins had been cut as if with a razor. In Con-
sequence:- Of 4,,u order from the Thames Pollee-
oirice,lielad sent the remainder of the unthrOwn,
silk-to London in sealed bags.,
.'Mr. John Catty, belonging to the Thames Po-
lice-nilice, proved •that the silk sent by Mr. Pei.-

lea apprehended Ivey and Cooper, . While in the
Thames Police office,- C_ooper-bad directed him to
Ilorndon. on the Hill, in Essex-, and sent his wife'
with hint, when :he received about 5001hs. -of silk,-
which Was delivered to him in a cart by Cooper's
wife. The silk being produced, was declared by

ROMAN CATHOLIC CLAIMS. •

OXFOEDSIIIRE COUNTY MEETING.

Pursuant to a requisition signed and published
by the High Sheriff of this County, a very nutar-
ous and most respectable Meeting was holden at
the Town Hall, on Saturday last, for the purpose
of taking, into .consideration the expediency of
presenting a Petitiois to Parliament; upon its ap-
proaching Session, .against the concession of the
Roman Catholic -Claims. After the business of
the day had been announced, and Opened in a con-
cise and elegant manner by the 'Sheila;
'COKER, Esq. rose, and addressed the' Assemblage
in a very able and energetic speech; of which the
following is the. substance.:
" Gentlemen—The important question upon
which we are this day assembled to deliberate has
been so frequently and so. fully discussed befo-ee
the Freeholders of this County, that I shall imot'
think it necessary;;npon the present' occasion, to
trepass On your time by many observations. The
proceedings, however, which took place dimring
the.laBt Session of Parliament relative to this sub-
ject, render it a matter Of indispensable necessity
to everyman, 'Who wishes well to the stability of
the State, and: the, security of our Prote-stant Esta-
blishment in -partl(-alar, to resist, so far as lies in
his power, those perilous and. unconstitutionalen-
ctoacinnents which the Catholics :are labouring
to effect with such untiring
:zeal and. such indefa-
tigablenerSeverance. The fall emancipation which
they contend for would go to
,violate and repeal'
the Act of Union between'Scotla ad and England,
and in a great measure also' the Act of Uiiion be-
tween Ireland and Great Britain: In the -Act of
Union between-England and Scotp.'..adie it Was 'de-
dared, that the Acts of Uniformity of Elizabeth
and Charles should he fundanmental.- By the Union
between England and Ireland the, Same Cherch
Establishment was guaranteed to both countries.
iroi these Acts w(7e,repealed. what would become
of the Constitution ? If these.pillars or support
were.taken away, the battlements of the Cliiirch
Might be shals.en down into one wide -and hopeles.s.
ruin, and, theholy rest of her martyrs disquieted
amigo e for ever.
t:entlenien, there is a broad 'distinction
tween .clainms of proteetionand el,tinms of power.
The Roman',Qatholis have <tt present all ti ,eieli.-
bertieAs as epiripicte as any peoplebn earth,' ancitheY
have the. same securities far their property:as
the wrest of their fellow
.subjeets-. They might
too have a seat in Purliathent,,if they would only
t,ake.those Oaths, which every
.other person todk
a,nd, uotil, they accede to this tes:„ , their claims
can -never be: granted,, excepting at the expense
Of the Protesi4nt :ascendancy, I ever have and.
:ever shall be ready to maintain that there is a 8U-
:1)re/the right• in the State to . settle the qualifica-
jions, for devil power. Civil authority may, by
carry its resteictions and exclusions to
blamable excess.;--it may be.actuated by' an
amagetierous suspicion or vindictive hostility ; but
that to compass, as he can, his elevation to power
is the :right of every.individual, and that it is in 7
tolerance, to impose conditions or qualifying tests
on such a person—this, I must confess, appears to
me to he a principle at .variance with the very de-
€initi©n and hypothesis of civil government. Time
-es_isteaCe of this' right ,is necessary to the exist-
ence of the State; and the exercise of the right,
in any particular case, is a question of political
prudence and expediency. Gentlemen, the-most
apprehensiOns force :themselves upon my
mind in prospectively contemplating the danger-
ous
_anomaly
.of a Protestant. Head of our Govern
went with Popish Counsellors, and a Chancellor
acknowledging the domination and simprenmacy of
a foreign potenttite, dispensing the preferments .of,
.the Protestalmt Church, and influence by principles_
iuii►Ticat to our Protestant Vaith. If rt be desire
able to IrayeaProteStant Chief, it is, unpaUbtedlY,
equally desirable that his Ministers, and all those
by whom his Throne is snrrOunded and protected,
should be equally, and decidedly Peotestants."—
After urging a variety of other considerations with
his aceustomed force and ability, Mr. Coker coif 7:
chided by moVing, that,
.cation the meeting of time,
nex(Parliar-,_ient; " a Petition be:presented, pray::
ii that the Claiins of the - Roman Catholics be
not granted:'
Mr.. ASMIRST then rose and said—" Gentle-
men, concurring, as I dt:, with every argument so
ably and so loyally addressed to you by Mr. Coker,
I beg_ leave to second his motion, being well con
vinced that it has for its object time stability of
those principles established at the Revolution, and
which subsequent events have taught us to regard
as the best safeguards of our constitutional rights,,
and the securest pillar of defence to tire-,ApoStoli7

Mr. C. B. 110-Srys then commenced a long
speech against the motion"; but, from the lowness
of ttnie in,y4ieb. he spoke; tb.e, gie4ter part of it
•iwas quite inatiflible.y its. He was followed on

Srn,

- A letter, dated ."" Derby, Oct. 10, 1812,"
signed ," .Veax," - was.: pubtished ire your journed
of the purporting to give a correct state-
Anent or a meeting latelyheld in this to*n, << To
take into consideration the propriety of present-
his Royal Highness the Prince•
ltegent and the two HoUsessof Parlitiitient,'Pray-
ingthat sortie, effbrt imv be made for the restora-
ition oithe •bleSsing of peace" --You will be
nsurprised to hear, Mr..'Ettitoe, that this letter,
although. intemkd to cOntradiet the .staterrient
given-in the boll Mercury of the proceedings at
'that meeting, -and to animadvert upon the parties
and their views and Coudtict, who weir princi-
pally instrumental in calling the Meeting, silouid
not have been inserted in the Derl,,y iile.ecnry, as,
'surely, 'the inhabitants of this town are the-best
to judge which statement is most entitleci to
'credit.
We, who are appointed a -Committee to .carry
into effect the resolutions- of the' meeting, haVei,
in 'the Derby _Mercury of this week, done . Verax
the favour of pubti,:hing his. letter, anti witlit
lvhat, we, trust, ir;11 be considered 'a-eery fal,;,,
correct, and satisfactory answer: Brit as
paper has but a !coal ciecula'tion; and Veraxlez-,
by his coremunic4tion to you, made a most un-
Warrantable attempt to impose on you, and,through
your widely circulated -Paper, on the public at
larg-e; we hope the candour and impartiidity do e'.
from a, public journalist will, utider'such circum-
stances, induce you to insert the folloiving state-
ment in one of. your early columns,: we pledge
ourselves for its accuracy.,
Verak introduCes his letter. by referring to* a.
meeting- lately held at LoughbOrough, the okfeet of
which has been so' re'reaterily stated, that it is
not necessary now to dwell upon it. It was,. as
it professed to be-, " A Meeting 'of .Friends Of
Peace, assembled frOm the Counties -of Derby',
Leicester, 'iand Nottingham."' Why' Verax, calls
it a mingled 'Meeting_ we know not ; there Was
nothing in its intention which has not been ''re-
peatedly stated by public advertisement, nor of-
which those who promoted' it had any reason, to
be ashamed. .That your: Correspondent should
know nothing of that meeting previously can be'
-nO matter of surprise ; he is as little a.friend to
peace aSlie is a .lover of . tenth. For his better
information, however, we take the liberty of
Stating to him, that the meeting was numerous
and respectable that it consisted of not less than
SOO persons ; that of these-only .13 attended from
Deity; that Major Cartwtight's presence was
not expected by any of the persons who had been
instrutnental in calling the meeting 5 that being
on a visit in the neighbourhood, he attended
Merely to suegest the propriety ,of_combining
:with the petition for peace, a petition for reform;
that his proposal was over-ruled as foreign to the
business of the day ; and lastly, that Mr. Whit-
bread had not
.been consulted on the subject of the
meeting, nor knew any thing of its being in _con-
templation till after it had been called.
Verax identifies the promoters of the Loughbo
rough meeting and the one held atDerby,Which is
subsequently the object of his misrepresentafion
but he it here also in error. Of the 15, who pre-
sented a petition to Mayor of Derby, praying
him to convene a meeting of the inhabitants, five
only were present at Loughborough. The requisi?
tionists did indeed hope that the meeting here
Would-be convened by the sanction of- the consti-
tuted authority; the Mayor.; and it would have
been deemed disrespectful to his Worship
not to have offered to aim the honour of appoint-
ing it, and of presiding at it. They little ex?
pected that such a request, for such a purpose,"
could meet with opposition.
The counter rea,u4ition referred to by Verax (if in-
deed such a tiring existed at all, for it was never
,made public) was certainly not presented till after
the Mayor had refused to call the proposed meeting, .
That the May-or acted thuS; with the unani?
Mous concurrence of , the Magistratet; of the Bo,r•
rough," is a statement equally erroneous.' We
have authority to say; that. the Mayor's refusal to
call a naeeting was not with-the unanirnon concur-
rence of the other Magistrates. In justice to Ve-
rax, however, we
,must state-, that he bad the au
thority of the r.Nfayor's reply to the requisitionists'
for this assertion ; and we leave it to-this gentle-
:,
man to Justify, his conduct w this instance- -to his •
brother Magistrates.

states:; that of the fifteeninhaliitants who
:signed the. requisition " respectable in point of
situation, "-but, as he would ungenerouly have it
inferred, not so in other respects, several 'with-
drew their names,and afterwards, on the Mayor's'
refusal to comply with their request, -declined to
take part -in calling the meeting. Certainly,
two of the requisitionists. did not sign the subse-
quent.
notice, hut :not. tram any hostility to the
measure,_
"and one hag Since signed the. petition.
Of the number comOosing the -Der by 'Neetits
it is not easy to spe:ik With accuracy. It. Was far
too great to be counted. The ground :st __:ch it
mccupied was, however, measured; an
,d, on- the.
most moderate computation, it must have exceed-
ed .the number mentioned bt.= Vei:ax, six 'times
told. Without insisting upon precise enumera-
tion, it may, perhaps,-be intire agreeable to Veras
to be reminded, that it fullY justified xhe :state-
ment 'made in. the :Derby Mercury " tikt it will
long,be reinembere&as a tint expression *of popu,:
lar feeling, on one of the most important subjects,

From the insidious :Way in which this •.'con-
ieniptible scribbler has introduced the, name of
Dr; Forester, for the mere purpose of connecting
him in' relationship. and politics with the " pride
of 'Westminster," and also the manes of Major
Cartwright and Mr. Whithrtad As well as from his
sneers at the • " Derby patriots," and the *hole
tenor and tendency of his letter, it is very 'evident
that he would wish this opinion to prevail; that, a
friend, to peace is an enemy: to-his country
