THE STATE TRIALS.

THE QUEEN V. MARTIN.
DUBLIN, AUG. 15.—The Court sat this morning at
ten o'clock, when, the names of the jury having been
called over,
Mr. Vernon was put on the table, and proved that
Air. Martin was .the registered proprietor of the Felon
newspaper.
Martin Healy, police constable, proved that he pur-
chased a copy of the Felon on the 24th of June. The
office was so crowded on that day that he could not get
a copy from any ono engaged in the office, but he pur -
chased it from a newsvender.
Martin Redmond, a detective, gave similar evidence
as to the number on the Bth of July.
It was proved by other policemen that they pur-
chased two copies of the Felon in the office.
After some procedure,
The Court ruled that nothing should be given in
evidence under the Act unless what war, an overt act,
and, consequently, evidence of the compassings and
imaginings. They could give nothing as an overt act
in itself which was not specifically pointed out in the
indictment, but might read other articles as bearing
the character of the specified overt acts. The Court
then ordered that nothing should bo read unless what
was set out in the indictment.
Mr. BUTT then said that the Attorney-General read
yesterday, in his address to the jury, a letter signed by
Mr. Lalor, which was not in the indictment, and he would
now call on him to read that letter again.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then proceeded to read the
leading article in the Felon of June 24.
Mr. BUTT rose to address the jury, and proceeded at
great length to rebut the arguments of the Attorney-
General, and concluded as follows :—lf, on a calm con-
sideration of the evidence, you could believe my client
guilty of the charge laid in the indictment, of course it
would be your duty to say so; but it should be a verdict
not founded on speculation or an impulse, but on evi-
dence coercive to your minds. You are trying my client
upon the evidence, and upon that alone, and for the sake
of the Constitution I implore you to bear that in mind.
If you do not observe that plain and necessary rule—if
you do not make the evidence, and the evidence only,
your guide in forming your verdict, deeply as I care for
the interest of my client, I would forget his case in the
deeper feeling for the liberties of my country. If you
decide this case upon the views or principles laid down
by the Crown, or otherwise than upon a calm and ra-
tional view of the evidence submitted to you, and a due
and careful consideration of the whole case, the liberties
of the country may be looked upon as sacrificed, unless
the verdict of another jury shall redeem them from the
perils in which they would assuredly be placed.
At the conclusion of the Learned Gentleman's speech,
a murmur of applause ran through the court. The
audience expressing, as far as the order of the Court
would admit, their high sense of the great force and elo-
quence of the address throughout.
Mr. James Martin sworn—l am a brother of John
Martin, the prisoner at the bar. I reside with him at
Loughorne, near Newry. I attended a meeting held at
Newry, on the 17th of March, at which my brother de-
livered a speech. I read a report of it a day or two after
in the .Newry Examiner, which I believe to be a correc
one, as to the substance of what he said.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the admissibi-
:y of this evidence, but after a lengthened discussion
by counsel, it was permitted to be received, and the case
for the traverser closed.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then replied on the part of
the Crown. lie said that the prosecution was instis
tuted for the purpose of punishing a party whose con-
duct they felt it their duty to bring into a court
of justice, and to call for the verdict of a jury, under
circumstances such as they deemed what led
to this prosecution fully justified. The Learned
Gentleman then referred to the ancient law of trea-
son, to the circumstances under which the present
Act had been passed, and to the alterations which were
thereby effected in the law. The question, he said, which
the jury had to try was, whether the prisoner did in-
:end to depose the Queen, or to levy way against her, in
order to compel her to change her measures, and did ex-
press that intention by some publication. If they were
of opinion that the published numbers of the Felon con-
tained articles exhibiting the felonious intent on the part
of the writer to levy war against the Queen, it would be
conclusive evidence that the prisoner entertained thatin-
tent. There was no other mode of arriving at the pri-
soner's intentions, save by his own publications. If it
were not so, the law would be wholly inoperative, as
there would be no means for a jury to arrive at the inten-
tion of the party. The charge against Mr. Martin was,
that he entertained certain felonious intentions, which
were expressed in articles published in his own news-
paper. After some other remarks, the Solicitor-General
concluded:—The unfortunate man, the prisoner at the
bar, was charged with having made those felonious at-
tempts, and it would be for the jury to say if his justifi-
cation was to be grounded on abuse of the Attorney-
General of the country?
Baron PENNEFATHER said—lt may be right to say,
Mr. Solicitor, that we did not stop some things which
were said, because of an assertion that they were rele-
vant to the issue, and because of our supposition that
they would lead to an explanation of the case in which
some stress was laid on giving in as evidence the title
of this newspaper. The case referred also to remarks
on Mitchel's trial, and we could not say or anticipate
all that was said, and we could not therefore say it was
irrelevant.
The CHIEF BARON—In the coarse of the Learned
Counsel's address some matters were introduced which
were irrelevant. But for the reasons stated by my
Learned Colleague, the Court did not interpose, though
both my brother Baron and myself were of the same opi-
nion, that those matters were irrelevant, and ought not
to have been introduced; but there were matters which
we expected would be replied to.
Mr. B UTT—I beg to assure your Lordships that I
would not have spoken one word of those matters, nor
have introduced the subjects I did, if the Attorney-Ge-
neral had not challenged me to do so. I feel obliged to
your Lordships for what you have said.
The SOLICITOR. GENERAL then resumed, and said he
trusted that nothing which had fallen from him with
reference to the late topic, would have the least effect on
the minds of the jury as bearing on the prisoner's case.
The. Learned Gentleman then proceeded to explain his
views of the law with reference to the charge alleged
against the prisoner. He was proceeding when
Baron PEN NEFATHER said—Mr. Solicitor-General,
now, having said so much, I would say it would be,
per-
haps, better that you should postpone your observations
on the evidence till the morning.
The SOLICITOR- GENERAL—I am entirely in your
Lordships' bands. I agree it would be too much for the
j
Chief Baron and the ury, that we should remain until I
close my remarks, and his Lordship charged the jury,
besides, it is not desirable that the case should be laid
before the jury, who are doubtless fatigued.
Baron PENNEFATHER—Then, gentlemen, we adjourn
till ten o'clock to-morrow—you will be accommodated

as usual.
The Foreman—My Lord, we are glad of it, as we all
would prefer such comfortable quarters as we occupied
last night, to being locked up for the night in the jury-
room.—(Laughter.)
The Court then rose and adjourned to ten o'clock this
day.

We aro in a position to state that the illustrious pre-
late of the north, Dr. Maginn, and his patriotic and
learned clergy, have already adopted and foanded a
memorial for an amnesty, and will also be prepared to
join in a more extended national movement, having for
its object the immediate amelioration of the condition of
the people.

THE POTATO CROP.
The accounts from the provinces this morning, in refe-
rence to the potato crop, are just what might have been
expected after the dreadful weather of the last five or
six days. All the country papers and their corre-
spondents concur in representing the late crop as com-
pletely destroyed; and they also speak most despondingly
of the corn crops. The only chance of the latter lies in
the return of warm and dry weather, of which there is
no appearance this morning.

APPREHENSION OF CHARTIST
LEADERS.
Yesterday afternoon a party of eleven Chartist dele-
gates were apprehended by the police in a public-house,
called the Orange Tree, Orange-street, off Holborn. At
the houses of several a quantity of powder, • ball-cart-
ridge, tow and fire-balls to be used, it is supposed, for
incendiary purposes, was also seized. Later in the even-
ing twelve, men armed wielk pikes, daggers, and old
swords, were arrested at the Afgel public-house, Black-
friars-road.
From information received from an authentic source,
as well as from personal observation, the reporter ob
tamed the following particulars, which may be relied
upon as being perfectly free from exaggeration:—
It appears that on private information received by the
Government, a strong body of the P division of police
were ordered to assemble at the L division in Tower-
street. The men were armed with cutlasses, and were
joined by about 150 constables and sergeants of the L
division. The men belonging to the M section were also
on duty at the Stones-end station, under the direction of
Mr. Superintendent Evans.
About half-past nine o'clock, on a signal given, Super-
intendent Rutt and Inspectors Carter, Evans, Arnold,
and Rogers, with nearly 300 men, marched off to the
Angel Tavern, in Webber-street, kept by Mr. Smith.
Mr. Rutt, with a pair of loaded pistols and a cutlass at
his side, entered the building, accompanied by a strong
body of constables. At the same time upwards of a
hundred officers were drawn up in front of the premises,
all under arms.
The moment the police entered the tap-room, or par-
lour, a general movement took place on the part of the
persons there assembled, when Mr. Rutt cried out, "If
any man offers the least resistance, I will run him
through," at the same time showing his drawn cutlass.
This had the desired effect, and little or no resistance
was offered. The police then in a body laid
hold of fourteen men who were in the room, and con-
veyed them under a strong guard to Tower street,
where upon being searched,
pistols loaded up to the
muzzle, pikes, three-edged daggers, spear-heads, and
swords, were found, some upon the persons of the pri-
soners, and others secreted under the seats on which
they had been sitting. Some were armed with iron
breast-plates, and under one man no less than 75 rounds
of ball-cartridge were found. These, of course, were
taken possession of by Mr. Butt, and safely lodged at
Tower-street station, where also are deposited the pikes
and other implements taken from the mob.
Mr. Superintendent Rutt and Inspector Russell, from
private information which they received, proceeded to
Blue Anchor-yard, York-street, Westminster, where it
was stated a gang of armed Chartists were waiting to
march out and join the other parties, in the event of a
procession being formed. On entering the house, a well
known leader and a largo pike were taken. The seizure,
it appears, was made before any other parties had time
to reach the house. A strong body of men are, how-
ever, at this hour waiting in the neighbourhood, ready
to pounce upon any suspicious persons who may be seen
making their way to the place. The whole of the Me-
tropolitan and City police not on duty in the streets are
in reserve at the several station-houses under arms, and
ready to march off to any part, in case their services
should be required.
Upon the police proceeding to the house of Samuel
Morgan, one of the men taken by the L division, they
found the leg of a chair loaded with lead and a number
of nails driven in at the extremity. It was about the
g policeman's truncheon, and so heavily laden
ltehnattah o
fa
violent blow on the head with it must have caused
instantaneous death. Swords and weapons of various
kinds have been found.at the residences of other pri-
soners. Mr. Inspector Carter and several constables have
just proceeded in a body to search the abodes of the
other persons captured.

The whole of tho military quartered at Buckingham
Palace, the Tower, Mint, Bank of England,:and the va-
rious barracks are under arms, and a continuous coin
munication is being kept up between the Metropolitan
and City police, as well as with the military and other
official bodies.

From what has already transpired, it is supposed that
the Chartists and Confederate clubs intended to march
out well armed, as they did some weeks back, and at-
tack such buildings as might be pointed out to them.
Shortly after the capture was made in Webber-street,
a meeting was attempted to be held at the South London
Chartist-hall, in the same street, when one of the leaders
rushed into the building, and advised them for God's
sake to disperse, as their lives were in danger. In au
instant a general rush took place for the street, and one
man in leaping from a side window severely injured
himself, and it is rumoured broke one of his legs.

ASHTON, WEDNESDAY.
It has been ascertained since yesterday that the Char-
tists left their meeting-room about eleven o'clock, and
separated at once. They met again in less than an
hour in large numbers, all apparently armed with pikes,
&c., and marched through the streets in military order,
their heavy clogs ringing loudly on the pavenusiwind
attracting the attention of the inhabitants. Thlwamo
in the direction of Oldham -road, where Bright, the po-
liceman, was on duty. An old man, named Warren, was
passing at this moment, and fearing that the policeman
would be in danger, made up to him, at which time be
heard him asking the mob it at any time he had injured
them, and was begging that they would not hurt him.
At this point another policeman was seen by the mob,
when most of them left Bright and gave chase after
him down Stamford-street. Several shots were fired,
but none of them took effect, and he succeeded
in making his escape. Several of the mob in a
few minutes returned to Bright. One man levelled his
pike and thrust at him. Warren, who was still with
Bright, seized this pike by the blade, by which his
hand was wounded. Somebody then thrust a second
pike quite through Bright's thigh. At this Warren,
alarmed for his own safety, began to retire; he had not
gone many yards, however, when he turned round and
saw a pistol presented to Bright, which was instantly
fired, and he fell. At this Warren ran off as fast as pos-
sible. A person named Slater, who lives close to the
spot where the murder was committed, was aroused by
the noise of the party marching. Be and his wife im-
mediately got up, and saw from the bedroom-window a
great mob; in a tew minutes they heard the report of a
gun, and Mrs. Slater going to another window which
looked into another street saw a man lying in the
gutter. Just before the shot, Mr. Slater distinctly
heard the words " make ready," and immediately after
he heard the same voice loudly say, "Join, join," when
the whole party formed into something like order, and
quickly marched off.
The magistrates examined a large number of persons
yesterday, some were discharged and the rest were re-
manded, but up to the present time no clue has been
obtained to the murder. The inquest is to be held this
afternoon.
