COLDIIATIT.FIELDS MEETING OF THE
WORKING CLAs'SE.—(THIS DAY.)

Two meetings having been appointed to be held at the
National Exchange Bazaar, Gray's Inn-road, this day—
one to adopt some means of testifying public approbation
of the Jury who sat on the body of Cu;ly, the police.
man; and the other, to petition Parliament for an inquiry
into the conduct of Government and the police in the
suppression of the late Coldbath.fields meeting; the partie,
concerned in getting them up, met in one of the rooms of the
Bazaar, and it was agreed between them to hold only one
meeting, and to unite the two objects.
At half.past one o'clock, there being then from 400 to 5C.0
persons in the room appointed for the meeting, the Committee,
among whom were Messrs. Hunt and Murphy, arrived on
the platform.
Mr. HUNT came forward to explain how it happened that
two meetings had been called with nearly the same ob-
jects in view.—( Hear, hear.) When the Coroner's Jury
had given a verdict which afforded so much pleasure
to every friend of humanity—(Cheers)—he went round the
acted metropolisfor theto lastall
years,
to reformers
know rer sh with t whomwad
het e had
intended
to be done. He found they were all anxious that something
radical o
what
a n
should be done, but no one offered to do any thing. He after-
wards, on app!i •ati n to the proprietor of the Banat', learned
that Mr. Duffle had spoken about engaging a room, but had
not actually engaged it, and he therefore decided on having a
meeting. So far, therefore, from his wishing to disappoint
Mr. Duffle and his friends, he was willing to take a subordi.
nate situation in the meeting, but it was for the meeting to
say whether he or Mr. Murphy should preside.—(Cheers.)
After a few observations from Mr. Dome, it was proposed
and carried that Mr. Hunt should take the chair.

Mr. HUNT then said that it had just been proposed hi
him, in consequence of the oppressive heat of the room,
to adjourn into the area of the building.—(Hear, hear) The
adjournment then took place, and after considerable delay,
Mr. Hunt and his friends took their station in one of the
balconies.

Mr. HUNcr said, they were assembled to discharge a great
and important duty, that of expressing their opinion of th:•
conduct of seventeen as brave Englishmen as ever trod the
fa:fe of the earth. They were assembled to celebrate a new era
in the annals of British jurisprudence, and to thank men who hzd
had the courage and honesty to resist the importunities and
determination of a public officer. He contended that Cully, the
policeman was killed during an illegal,unjust and cruel dispersion
of the peop'e, and that the jury who sat on the body had re-
turned a verdict in accordance with their determination to
do their duty. He admitted that a certain number of indivi-
duals had met who were in a st.de of distress, and man•
of them enthusiastic; but they were the persons who
had been taught to believe, nine or ten months ago.
that if they put their shoulders to the wheel, they would have
such a reform in Parliament as would benefit, not only them.
selves, but all their fellowmen. Since that Bill had passed,
however, they had found, alas no relief for themselves.
and very little satisfaction for the country.—(Hear, hear.;
What were the first fruits of the Reform Bill ? An atrocious
and unjustifiable Bill for Ireland.—(Loud hissing.) Whze
was the second ? The bloody massacre attempted in Cold-
bath -fields.—(Loud hissing.) Persons, whether prudently or
not he would not say-, thought they would call a public
meeting, for the purpose of taking into consideration
whether they could not prevail on his Majesty's Government
to do something to benefit the public.—(Loud cheers.) He
was not there to inquire whether those men had acteo
prudently or not, whether they had acted imprudently
or illegally; for when promises had been held out to men, an“
they had been disappointed, he was sure that all present and ever
honest man would be likely to make great allowances for wha•
they did. They had advertised that they would meet to form
a National Convention. He, then, inquired what then
meant by that term, and the answer was that all they intende.
to effect by calling the erecting was to take into consideration
whether they would not petition Parliament to adept the best
means for every man who bore his share in the burdens of the
State to have a proportionate share in the Legislature. That
in his opinion, was as honest and legitimate an intention as
men ever thought of; though he admitted the intention was
imprudently expressed —(Loud cheers.) The Governmery
immediately sent forth a declaration, saying that the
meeting was illegal, and warning all persons to
abstain from attending it. That declaration was signed "by
the order of the Secretary of State."—(Loud hisses, and cries
of " Oh, oh I") It was an utterly indefinite proclamation, but
if it had been signed by the Secretary of State himself, or by the
King, he thanked God that neither the Secretary of State nor
the King could yet make laws in the country.—(Cheers.) If the
meeting had been illegal, what course ought the government to
have pursued ? They ought to have called upon the sherifl,
or the magistrates, to have come forward and told the people
assembled that they had met for an illegal purpose;
and if they had done so, he would ask whether there was any per.
son present at the late unfortunate meeting at Coldbath-fields,
who would not instantly upon such a statement have
dispersed ? But what did the Government do ? The)
allowed the people to assemble—the guilty and the
innocent to assemble together—and, shame to them,
laid their forces in ambush for the purpose of rushing out
in a body upon the people, and beating them to death
But to the proclamation. It purported to be issued by order
of the Secretary of State. Now, who was the Secretary of State )
Lord Palmerston was the Secretary of State for the Foreign
department ; Mr. Stanley was Secretary of State for the colonies,
and Lord Melbourne was Secretary of State for the
Home Department. Now which of these three Secre-
taries of State gave the order for its issuing
did not appear, He would leave it to the meeting to say whe-
ther, upon such a proclamation, the course pursued was the
proper one ?—( Loud groans, and cries of " No, no.")
Sorry was he to say that he had witnessed a similar transac-
tion at Manchester, when the people had met for the legal
purpose of praying for a reform of Parliament and a repeal on
the corn laws.

That meeting, when in the lawful exercise of their rights, was
attacked by a band of ruffians—by the Manchester Yeomanry
—who rushed in, cutting away, right and left, at man, woman,
and child.—(Groans.) They rushed in without the slightest
notice, and fourteen men, women, and children, were murdered,
a d six hundred and eighteen badly sabred. (Renewed
groans.) What, he asked, was the result of that meeting
Why a petition and prayer to Parliament for inquiry, which
was backed and urged by the Whigs, who were then out of
office.—(Hear, and groans.) This was in 1819; and now these
Whigs were in office, they had actually denied an inquiry whet.
he had moved it in Parliament —(Groans.) Well, and what
did they do with the meeting in Calthorpe.street ?
they go to the leaders of the meeting and endeavour to show
its impropriety ? Did they take any steps to prevent tin
meeting from taking place No. But, as they were told by
Mr. Thomas, they let out 1,700 policemen, armed witl
eadly weep ms—with weapons fit to knock down oxen—anti
then, according to a most respectable witness (Mr. Stanwood),
they beat away, right and left, in all directions, every avenue
being blocked up before by these blessed Whig peace-keepers
And the jury had been told by the same respectable man,
that the policemen were occupied nearly two hours thus beat.
ing a defencele,s crowd ; and he spoke of one elderly woman,
of most decent appearance, who was kneeling and imploring
mercy, with uplifted hands, but who was still illtreated by het
cowardly assailant —(Loud groans.) He had heard the
Ministers called bloody and brutal men.--(Loud cheering.;
They had been called bloody and brutal for their Coercion
Bill for Ireland —!Hear, hear.) He did not mean
to call them so that day ; facts were strong enough,
and he had no occasion to use even strong language. He
would ask the meeting was blood spilt at the Coldbath meet.

ment ?—;Cries of " Yes ") The jury had been told that lovely
woman, whom it had been the pride of Englishmen to honour
and protect, had been maltreated by these policemen. He
would ask, if that was not brutal Y—(Cries of" Yes.") Well,
added Mr. Hunt, you say so; I won't. After the meeting
had been dispersed, there had been an inquest held,
which was composed of seventeen respectable indivi-
duals, not selected, but chosen indiscriminately, to de
their duty to all parties. These men, according to the evi-
dence brought before them, had to decide whether the death o
the policeman was occasioned by murder, manslaughter, ex-
cusable homicide, or justifiable homicide. But tht
Coroner, who ought to have been an independent
judge, uninfluenced by any feeling, had attempted to dictate
to this honest jury what their verdict should be, and that, it
his opinion they ought to have returned it wilful murder
When followed that Jack-in-office the petty constable—how di,
the meeting think he served the witnesses that came forward ti
give their evidence ? He was present, and saw it himself. A
witness came forward and was shown into another room, then
came this Jack and roared out in a most authoritative toneles,
noise,kss noise here. To one woman he said, what are yet
here for, my good woman? Why, Sir, I have come to state to tht
Jury the way which I was served, and to show the wound which
I have received. What did the meeting think was the answer 1
It was,—" Oh ! get about your business; you cannot get it
hem "—(Hissing and groaning.) The next he came to wat
a lady who was sitting between two policemen ; the conduct
to her was altogether of a different description,--a
soon as he found out her business, it was oh, tit down hers,
-it down, I shall soon call you in. The way that he Mr
Hunt was served was no better. He had heard tha
a boy saw the policeman stabbed, and wished to hay.
teen called, but the answer was " Oh, no, no, Sir; holt
your tongue, or you shall be turned out of the room."—

(Loud hisses and groans.) The fact was, that all the wit
nesses who could depose as to the brutality of th•
police, and had their wounds to show in confirmation
were bullied and shoved about, and to the amount of 50 or 6
were not called at all, while e ery polcernan or wane,.
in their favour were treated with every respect and it,-
:tantly examined.—(Hear, hear.) He was told that the

the jury had not brought in a verdict to their liking: Well,
Indeed, might the Secretary of State be ashamed of what he
was about to do.—(Hear, and cheers.) He would say that
the order of the Sectretary of State, as it appeared without a
name, was no legal document. He would tell them an in-
stance of it. When he was living a few years r nee in
Sussex, a poor higler was taken before Mr. Abbot, the then
Speaker of the House of Commons, who acted as a magli.
trate, and fined, because he had not his name upon his cart.
A few weeks afterwards, he ;Mr. Hunt), travelling
that way, met with a dung cart, upon which 'was
inscribed " The Right Hon. the Speaker." Who the devil
was the speaker of a dung
cart ? He found out the higler,
and told him he could put him in a way to get hack his money,
and told him to lay an indictment against the Right Hon Gen.
