TRIAL OF THE CHARTIST
CONSPIRATORS.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

CONTINUATION OF THE TRIAL OF CUFFEY,
FAY, AND LACY.
Mr. Baron Platt and Mr. Justice Williams took their
seats on the bench at ten o'clock.
Superintendent Rutt (L division) deposed to going,
with a number of constables, to the Angel, Webber-
street, Blackfriars-road, about five o'clock on the evening
of the 16th of August. Ho found thirteen persons in
the tap-room. Their names were Nilspear, Iron,
Proutten, Conway, Corbett, Taylor, Cocks, Poole, Gibbs,
}Torbert, Norton, Corbett, and Samuel Morgan.
Mr. BALLANTINE objected to the reception of this
evidence, as there was no evidence to connect the pri-
soners with any proceedings there.
-Mr. Baron PLATT considered the evidence admissible,
since the meeting at Webber-street formed part of the
alleged conspiracy.
Sergeant Rutt said he saw weapons taken from several
of the parties, and produced two powerful pike-heads,
taken from Conway, who had them under his coat.
There was much confusion. '
Cochrane, 108 L, corroborated Sergeant Butt's testi-
mony.
Harris, 6 L, gave similar testimony, adding that he
found seventy-five rounds of cartridges in a handker-
chief under a seat. _ _ _

' L 21 proved searching Nilspear and finding a breast
Plate between his shirt and waistcoat, and a pike-head,
which -were produced. Found a sword behind the door
of the room.
Baker, 112 L, proved finding a dagger, a pike-head,
and-a screw wrench on Proutten.
Slaymaker, L 124, searched Cocks, and found a card
in his coat-pocket, showing that he was a member of
the National Chartist Association, April 3, 1848.
Collins, L 184, was also at the Angel. Searched
Morgan, and found a pike. head and fit teen ball cartridges
in this pocket.
Inspector Rogers L, deposed going to a house in
Market...street, Borough, on the evening of Wednesday,
the 16th cf August. Morgan occupied the first fluor.
Mr. PARRY objected to the reception of evidence with
respect to what was found at Morgan's.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL considered the evidence ad-
missible, but would not press the question.
inspector Hawes proved searching the house of Lacy,
entitled the Charter Coffee-house, Strutton-ground,
Westminster. Found some books in a club-room in the
first floor, containing names, addresses, and subscriptions.
One had reference to the members of the " Wallace
Bridgate -branch of the Chartist Association"—Mr.
Lacy last. lie also found a printed plan of the mode of
organisation recommended by the Chartist Association.
All the books and documents were handed in and read.
Took a person named Jones into custody at the coffee-
house, on whom were found two pistols, loaded with
ball and primed, a canister in his hat containing
a pound of gunpowder, a small box of cartridges, a pistol
screw, &c.
Mr. Eagle, jun., proved the hand writing of a plan to
be in the handwriting of Mullins.
Thomas Barry, shoemaker, said he was a member of
the "Robert Emmett Brigade," which held its meetings
at two places—one section met at a beer shop in Shoul-
der-street, and the other in Beer-street, in the neigh-
b. s-hood of the Edgware-road. Had heard Mullins
speak at one of these meeting places several times. The
witness detailed the proceedings at these meeting
places a short, time before the arrest of the prisoners.
The prisoner was cross-examined, and admitted having
been committed to prison for a month for poaching, and
for four months for stealing three half- quartern loaves.
Never attempted to induce any one to join the physical
force movement. Was a moral force Chartist. Had
becotr • an opposer against the physical force Chartists,
because he believed they were dangerous to the com-
arlity,. Went about now, accompanied by a policeman.
After a short adjournment the trial was proceeded

with.
George ravis,_ of Greenwich, was next examined by
the ATTORNEY-UTENARAL—WiIetIOt a Chartist, yet had
joined the Wet Tyler district at Greenwich. Joined on
the 24th of May. Was accepted as a delegate to
meet, with others, at the George, Old Bailey. They
met on the 10th of July, the day of the trial of
Ernest Jones. Mullins said at that meeting that
it was a shame the Chartist prisoners then about to be
tried should be allowed to go to prison without a strug-
gle. It was said that Cow.cross would be a good place
to :sited( the police van conveying the prisoners to Cold-
bath- Holds. It was said that a person named Haley
wcridd come c,ut and lead the Irish on that occasion.—
Attended meetings up to the 10th of August, and made
communications to Superintendent Marks the next day of
what happened the day before. The superintendent wrote
this, statements down at his dictation two hours after
Attending the meeting, and signed them after the state-
ments had been read over to him.—(A paper was handed
to the witness, who stated that it contained the informa-
tion he gave to the superintendent of the meeting on
the 15th of August.) He did this, because witness
could not read.
Inspector Marks, of Greenwich, deposed to writing
the statements' in the way vouched to by the witness.
(The trial was proceeding when our report left.)

. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE.)
Thomas Collins, aged 27, and Malin Ewil, aged 51,
p tviours and:mason's.labourers, were indicted for stealing
a quantity of paving stones the property of Mr. Chad-
wick, the contractor, and of the Commissioners of Paving,
for the city of Westminster.
Mr. PRENDERGAST, who appeared for the prosecutors,
stated the quantity and value of property of this kind
which was plundered, far exceeded anything that the
jury, or many in court could be aware of. It was
necessarily much exposed, and it was only the day before
the alleged robbery by the prisoners, that an entire load
of granite blocks was carried off from the same stone-
heap in Weymouth-street. In consequence of the recent
robberies, a watch was set, and the prisoners were seen
to wheel a truck up to the heap, and had partly filled it
when they were taken into custody.
Their defence was that another man employed them
to fill the truck, and that they thought it was all right.
They had both been in the employment of Aln Chad-
wick many years, and they said he was in court and
could give them a good character.
Mr. Leckie, warden of Westminster House of Correc-
tion, said he knew them well, and they were " always
alternately in and out of prison," for assaults and
drunkenness.
Mr. Chadwick did not respond to their appeal, and the
jury found them Guilty.
The AssisTANT-JuneE sentenced them to be impri-
soned four months, and kept to hard labour.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Edward Squires was charged before Mr. Combe
with. stealing a chair from the shop of Mr. Gilts, High-
stree t, Stoke Newington, upholsterer.
It appeared that a policeman meeting the prisoner in
the street, not far from the prosecutor's, drunk, and
offering to sell the chair to the shopkeepers and to
passers by, took him into custody, not being satisfied
with his account of the possession, which was that ho
had found it in the road.
Mr. Gilts was positive that the chair was in the
shop - half an hour before the prisoner was taken,
but wished the magistrate to deal leniently
with the prisoner, as it might be that he took the
chair in a drunken lark ; besides, there were
children about the door, and it might have got pulled
out into the street, which would give some colour to the
prisoner's defence, as he was so very drunk at the time,
and might imagine it was " treasure trove."
Mr. COMBE said (at first) that Mr. Gilts must con-
vince a jury of that, but at length, in consequence of the
prosecutor's unwillingness to press the charge, and the
fact that the prisoner was drunk when ho took the pro-
perty, and was not a known offender, he discharged him.

WEST INDIA Rum.—Arrivala of rum Are now
taking place at the port of Dublin, it being compara-
tively a new branch of import trade at the Irish metro-
polis which has taken place since the reduction of duty
upon the article. This is no doubt caused in an impor-
tant degree by the Act lust passud, altering the duties
on foreign and colonial rums and shrubs, by which the
amount of duty levied on those articles, when imported
direct into Ireland, is very considerably less than
when imported into the other portions of the United
rbiDgdom.
