L CRIMINAL COURT.
COURT.
THE CHARTISTS IN BONNER'S-FIELDS.
The prisoners Coaling, Callaghan, Jones, Moston,
Whitehead, Blackburn, Kingston, Page, Bingley, and
Illman, who were convicted on Saturday of the offences
of rioting and assaulting the police, were then brought
jgmdogmmeonm A.
tISEncENT, addressing the prisoners,
had been convicted, after a very long and
inquiry, occupying more than nine hours, of the
offence
t theyo
of
riotously assembling together, and assaulting
the police in the execution of their duty. An attempt
had been made to show that the police had exceeded
their duty, but it had failed entirely, for the evidence
clearly proved that they had used no more violence than
was necessary for the preservation of the public peace.
They might with perfect propriety have prevented the
meetings in question from taking place on the Sunday, but
they did not do so, and remained perfectly quiet, and com-
mitted no act of aggression until Shackell, the inspector,
was attacked and severely injured. If men would commit
these acts of violence they must take the consequences,
and it was impossible to measure with nicety the
amount of force that might be used to repel them. It
was laid down by Lord Hale, that officers were justified
at common law in resisting even to the last extremity
for their own protection and the preservation of the
public peace; and it seemed to him that in the present
instance the police had done no more than their duty.
He saw no mitigating circumstances in the case. The
themselves up
prisoners all appeared to be in work and to have ample
means of subsistence, and they had no excuse for mixing
with such lawless proceedings. If there
was to be a Government, and if men were to live as
heretofore in peace and quietness, such acts as these
must be repressed, and, but for the recommendation to
mercy of the jury, he should certainly have inflicted the
full punishment fixed by the law for the offence of which
they had been convicted. He had most carefully con-
sidered all the circumstances of the case, and the sen-
tence that ought to be passed, and the result was, that
the Court adjudged Couling, Callaghan, Jones, Moston,
Whitehead, Blackburn, and Page, to be imprisoned and
kept to hard labour one year, and such of them as were
of full age, in addition, to enter into a recognizance in
1001. to keep the peace for two years; and those who
were not of age to do the same, upon pain of imprison-
ment. The prisoner Kingston was sentenced to six
months' hard labour, Bingley to three, and Ewan, who,
it will be recollected, struck one of the constables with
an iron bar, was sentenced to two years' hard labour.
These three prisoners were also ordered to enter into
their own recogniza ices in 1001. to keep the peace for
two years.
The prisoners who had been convicted in the course of
this morning were then brcsught up, and Mallandine was
sentenced to eighteen months' hard labour, Payne to one
year, Strapps to nine months', and Connolly and Yatton
to six months' hard labour, and, in addition, to enter
into recognizances to keep the peace for two years.
