,NE Atis. COVRT-HOUSE, ScSiITHWARt.

• nird•D'ay—Weinesday, Feb.: 9.
johff Wood, John Francis, ThoMas' iVewman,
Daniel Tindall,-;.7ames Sarwick, Lander;
Arthur Graham, Samuel Smith, John .111441Vantara,
Thomas Philips,pand John Ault, were brought to
the Bar, when a Jury was formed, whose Names
were given in our Paper,of Wednesday.
The Sot. c !TOR GENE amiopened the case on the
part of the Prottecution, in,a very able. Speech, of
which the folloWing is the outline. fle observed,
that it fell to his lot, in the course of official duty,

to state to the Jury, and the Court, the charge
now made against the several Prisoners at the Bar,
together with the circumstances, anal the fads, which
would be produced in support of that charge ; and
he should consider it as perfealy consistent. with
that duty, and a faithful discharge of it, on his
part (and indeed, after what had passed, he owed it
to the Court), to .state the tads to the Jury, as
plainly, and, at the' same time, .as concisely as he
could, using no argument but what was necessary to
meet the fade anti circumstances of the case. But
before lie stated the substance of the Indidment,
which had been already distindly and clearly stated
by his Le'arned Friend (Mr. Asepe, who bad
'eopened the Pleadings),' he woukP sir a word or
two respeding the nature of the• crime of High
Treason, alledged against the Prisoners at the
Bar. That crime consisted in the Traitorous
Intention of the party accused, and if any man shall,
compass oceimagine the death of the King, or shall
compass 6Weiagine; restraint or imprisonment of
the person of the King, or to depose the King from
his Throne, or deprive him of the Kingly Name or
Imperial Dignity, &c. ; and there be due proof of
that intention, by writing, att, or speech done in
furtherance of such a design, the crime of High
Treason was complete. It was not necessary that.,
an adual attack should be made on His Majesty's.,
person, much less was it necessary that the King
should be put to death, in order to complete the
crime of High Treason. He need not argue before
the Jury, against any imputation of severityin such'
a Prosecution as this, it was necessary for. the safety
of us all ; for, with the- personal safety of the
King, with the protection of his Crown and Kingly
Title, &c. against the attacks of Traitors and
Assassins, Were connected the safety of the Com-
munity, and every thing which was dear to every
individual in it. Such being thee nature of the
crime of' High. Treason, it was the. most heinous
that could be committed, because, it was the most
extensive in its mischief, and the west dreilful in
its consequences.. The Law, hoWever, in favour
of the person accused, had provided certain forms,
and no High Treason should be stated in the In.
dielmente- but the fads relied on agz evidence of a
traitorous intention,, and those faas were here
stared technically as Overt.ads of Treason. The
Indictment against the Prisoners at the Bar, con.
tained three distinct charges of High Treason.
That they, together with Edward Marcus Despard
(who was net•elow in Court) and together with
other personse unknciwn, cOmpaSsed and imagined
the death of. the King. Secondly, that they com-
passed and imagined restraint or iniPrisonment of
the person of the king. Thirdly, Oat they cam-
passed and imagined the deposition cif the King from
his Titione. Indittnient contained eight
distind Overt.atts, as evidence .of such inters.
tion : the first. four of them were 'those • of
attempting to seduce Soldiers and others from their
duty, and to. persuade 'them to join with the Pri-
soners in the'Conspiraef they Vt'cre'cliarged to have
entered into for the objeds he had mentioned. The
oiler four ceeets were, on meeting's had and con_
sultationa hteltiiietween those persons, for the pur.
pose of carry leg that conspiracy into effed. Having
stated thus much of the indielment, he had stated,
he hoped, .as inoch as was necessary to understand
the substance of it, and having also stated, that in
order to constitute High Treason it was not Heces.
sary that a direct attack 'should be made on the
'person of the King, he should now, shortly, state
what the•LeWe requited to support such a charge.—
'First, the Law required :two Witnesses, either to
one Overe.ad or, to different Overt.a&s, the one to
one aa, and the' other to another Overt-an; and
further that one Over t-aa should be proved by one
, iWitnessat least within the County in which the.
'Prisoner was ttieti.e. Having thus stated the nature
of the Chattee and the substance of the Intik-intent
as fatas it Was'necessary,.he should now, with great
deference to she Court, state the outline of the evi-
dence necessary to support the charge. The Jury
Would'observe, that the crime stated in the Indict.
!Tient, was that of a Conspiracy. They would,
therefore, • have two questions to. consider—first,
whether a Conspiracy ae4tually existed, as stated
secondly, whether the Prisoners at the Bar, or any,
and which of them, were guilty of that Conspiracy ?
.Now, With respect • to_ the existence of the Conspi.
racy and object out, the Jury would find evidence
conclusive upon that subject,: The existence, in.
deed, of the Conspiracy had been already admitted,
and he did not believe it would now be denied.
The object .of it would be well explained by a
Printed Paper and Card, containing,' first, a Decla•
ration, and then an Oaeli ; to the first of which,
persons were invited to subscribe, and the second
was administered to all who would take it. Both
tended to premote an association, the purpose—of
which, as explained by the Ads and words of the
"Parties concerned in them, was to overthrow the
peesent state of things in this Country. It would be
proved that the Prisoners proposed this Declaration,
and offered to administer this oath to many persons.
Hen he read the declaration and die form of the
oath, as stated in our Paper of yesterday, and
which, for that reason, we pass aver. He main-
tained, that the civil and religious rights which`
were mentioned in this paper, it was manifest, were
nceeeintended to be sought by.peaccable means, or
by appeal 'to and of the Constituted Authorities of
the Realist. his, he said, was clear (torn the
words of the paper itself, anti still more manifest
from the declarations of the Parties on the con.
sultations which they held ee various Pablic.houses,
at which all of the Prisoners at the Bar were pre.
-beet* 'acre- mgrs., oomaigog CIA Awl:4;l'4ow of

moss wito aiplesi it, lokFther eaiSt the bath to'
endeavour to obtain the object of ftl he considered
Ai of very great importahce in this case, because
they would explain the• object Of the Parties who
pramsted their circulations 'The•papers Might be
said to be ambiguous in their sense ; this he appre.
heeded would be quite otherwise, and that 'the
meaning of them was to employ force to overturn
the Covetnment of this Country, ! wottld be mani-
fest from the declarations and • conduit of the Pd..
sorters. The Jury would find, that meetings for
the purpose of obtaining subscriptions to this 'de.
claration, and to administer this oath to all who
would take it, had been hell so -early,ai the Month
of March last, and that they had beets contineed.
and held On -various occasions at-different Public.
houses, -until the Prisoners were all 'apprehended at
the Oakley Arnis, on the l6th of November last;
in , the course of that time, he believed that the
Public-houses at which these meetings were .held,,
were not less than twenty in number: Here he re-
cited signs of the Public-houses atViliich these
consuititions were held (and which we pass over,
because they are already in evidence upon the trial
of Colonel Despard). In all these-meetings,- the
Jury would find, that one.great objed of the Parties
was ,to?seditee the Soldiers...frons their duty, and in
which John Francis was particularly adive in
swearing persons to that engagement. The Jury
would find that some took, and some refused
to take the oath in the course of this proceed-
ing from March to November. Hitherto, how-
ever, he had not stated any specific objet'} to
be attained by .the persons engaged in this Con-
spiracy- It was that of destroying or seizing the
person of the King, and then the taking possession
' of the Tower, and that was intended to supply them
with Arms ; but as it was doubtful whether they
should he able to have possession of the Tower, for
it was under the protedion of Guards, the Conspi-
rators intended to obtain-their objed partly by force,
•,atici:partly by stratagem, anti therefore—it Would
;appear., that they determined to terrify some, and
tOcejok others.: They were to seiac.the Bank as
well,: but that being protested by Guards also, they
were to gain them over. These were objects of the
Conspirators, „ which the evidence would prove
against the Prisoneri:at the Bar ; but the last and !
the most desperate Oil of the Conspiracy, was that
concerted plan for artrattack upon His Majesty; and=
this plan was not only adually planned, but the ex',
ecution of it put off until the day when His Majesty
was actually to meet Parliament. Jr. was agreed to
be attempted on the day when ibis Majesty was ex..
peded, by some persons, to meet the two Houses,
but it being found that His Majesty was not to go
that day, and that a subsequent slay was appointed
for that purpose, these Conspirators .put off the exe-
cution of their design until the day_ when.Ris Ma.
jesty was,adually to go to the House of Lords'.—
This meditated attack on the person of His Wes.
ty, was the subjed of many meetings and great des.
'cussion. Some proposed firing at the Carriage in
the Park, as His Majesty passed, out of the great
.Gun on the Parade, and then to make an attack, by
rushing at once forward--others thought it better
Id attack His Majesty as he passed, near Bucking.
ham-Hotise, after the Horse Guards had left him—
but svith'all their variety of opinion, they agreed
to attack the King on that day; in this plan they
alt agreed, -anti Francis, Newman, and Wood,
who were Soldiers, were particularly adive, but
they wanted for their head, Edward Mavens
Despard. The, SOLICITOR GENERAL said, he
would not state all he felt, on this occasion,.
and which he apprehended would appear in evi-
dence, lest he might make an impression On
the Jury too unfavourable for the • Prisoners.—
He was aware that the Jury would see that the
general object of the whole Conspiracy was to seize
on the person of the King and to put him to death.
However, he observed, that if in the examination
of the evidence, the Jury should finti.any reason to
distinguish between the cases of the Prisoners, they
would do so. Possibly they might find some of
them snore adive than others ; but he was afraid
they would find that most, if not all of them, were
without any excuse for their coodud.He then proceed-
ed to observe on the topics which would be probably
urged by the Counsel for the Prisoners, such as that
the evidence was either that of accomplices or spies,,
and laid down the Rules of Law as they applied, in
his opinion, to these points, and in which he was
afterwards confirmed by the Court. He concluded
with observing he was perfectly satisfied,. that from
the diligent attention else Jury ..would give to the
case, and the assistance they would have Irons the
Court, they would be -enabled to find a verdid
Consistent with ' justice, and satisfactory to their
consciences, as Well as to the Public.

He then proceeded to call the Evidence for the
Crown, which was nearly iverbathls the same as
that which was given on the trial of Colonel lies..
pard, and which did not sufficiently alrett the Pd..
soner Doyle, he being only found at the Oakley
Arms, without any proof of previous knowledge of
the intention of the rest of the party, and therefore
the ATTORNEY GENERAL kindly observed, that
although the appearance of Doyle at such a place,
on such an occasion, and untfer such circumstances,
might warrant the putting of his case to the Jury,
still be would consent to his acquittal, in order that
the other Prisoners, if they thought his evideuce
could avail them, might make use of him as a
NVitness in their hehalf.—Doyle was, therefore,
by consent found--No! Gado.
The evidence for the Prosecution being closed,

. Mr. 'Jetty rose, and addressed the Jury on be.
half of the Prisoners, in a Speech of considerable
length, and as remarkable for its style, energy, and
eloquence, as any ever delivered on a similar °CO-'
sion. Exhausted as we are by the fatigue of detail.
ing the proceedings of yesterday, it would be a vain
attempt to give even an imperfeti idea of-it. He
commenced by observing, that it was his duty to
address.the Jury on behalf of the twelve unfortunate
meta -at the Bari for whom he was Counsel, at a pe.
riod of the night when both body and mind were
overcome with fatigue and attention. He adverted
to the difficulties he had to encountery as .Cour.sel
for twelve men accused of so rat a crime.._ it was

by which it was requiied that no than 'sitonia heat.

upon that Stattite by the Cornmentary and Expos'.
Lion of Lord Coke, and the more.modecn Writings

of Lord Hale an 4 Mr. justice Foster. He faiiteride'd
that the,ques-t-ion tor-the jury was stripped of all 1:-

gat discussion, alt diifetence of opinion as to point?
of Law, and that it was a mere question of fan. fk
then stated what • 'Were. the ruleS and printipta Of
evidence required to prove the fait of High Treason;
elucidating his remarks by apposite quotatiOns fruni

Beccaria 7)n Crimes and P‘irlishme-nts, aria other

eminent Writers ; and by referring to various Pre.j
cedents on subjeCts of Criminal Jurisprudence, at va-
rious periods prior and subsequent to the Revolution.
He then referred fo the particular evidence given In
this case by the Witnesses, insisting that it was °lwo'
suspicious a nature to justify a jury in condeinnint
such a 'nuinber of their felldw creatures upon
charge of so, foul a nature; and which was vi:;i(e4
by puniihment so severe and dreadful. He examinett
the evidence of each Witness separately, conteridilA
that the testimony of Windsor, and the accomp
was unworthy of the least credit. He gi4(ln t try
severe remarks upon the charaCter of the witne,ses,.
and appealed, in the most earnest manner, to tki
Jury to discard their evidence altogether ; and biz,
concluded ah eloquent harangue, the delivery of
which occupied near three hours,. trusting that the
Jury would, by their verdia, restore the PriWner,
to their faMilies.

A great number of Witnesses were Mien called for
the purpose ofgiving eharaders. to the different Pei-
soners, who stated them to he all men dauber and

industrious habits, 4irc. but -none of them spoke .“••
any k.tioivledge 'of the political Sentiments of any of
the. Prisoners, never having heard them say any thing
upon politics.
Mr. Ho v C L'i; spoke in behalf of. the Prisoner.'
after, the evidence was closed.

:A.rroiraY GENERAL made an able rtTli

to the speech of Mr. JEKYL, and answered aIl ch
observations which.viere made by him. He main-
taingd that all the evidence was on one sidv, mme-

ly, for the Prosecution. As. to the charaAer of
Witnesses, ‘fte.,observed, there was More advantage
toE the Prisoner in the case of High Treason than
any other, even in the cure of an accomplice Ming
examined as a\V tress, because the Prisoner had tl‘e
name and addition of every 'Witness, to ‘k)e exathin.
ed against him, given in, a number of flays bcfbret
his trial, by which, if ibete was any defe& in the
charaaer of the Wiinesses; the Prisoner had titn4
'to examine into the matter, and to bring fotwAra
any thing that might diminish the credit of a Wit-
ness, an advantage which a Prisoner never had in
the case of a common Felony ; fin, in this C4Seji
if any of the- Witnesses for the CroWn were
those despicable charaders they were stated to be,

there had been abundant time to attack their
charaaer by the evidence of others, if their cha.
raaers were vulnerable. That with regard to Go-
vernment having discharged fifteen out of the
thirty who were apprehended at the Oakley Arms;
and who were supposed to be as guilty us the Pri.!
saner's, and who, it was contended, ought to have
been examined by the Crown ds Wiinzsaes, he hA
only to say, if they had been called as Witnesses
for the Crown, they would have been called .At com.:
plices ; but if the Prisoners thought they could
prove ally thing material to their defence, they
would have been excellent Witnesses for them. that
Government had not prevented their being Wit..
.nesses for the Prisoners, by including them in the;
charge now before the Court ; and if they had
therein erred, it was an error that could not be said
to be a hardship on the Prisoners. He depteuated
the idea of giving way to the apneals which had
been made to the humanity of the jury, by rep at..
edly reminding them that there were as many lives
to he disposed of in this caste, as there were em-
powered to pronounce their doom. He held this to

be a principle much too. dangerous to be attetoled.
to. Hi
.13inented as much, as his Learned Frivoti

seems, after a !Ong, and, I trust, patient and
partial Trial, ybu have been severally convicted of.
High Treason, which, by your Indidinent, has been
proved ppon you.,, In the course of the evidence which
has been laid before-the Court, a Treasonable Con.
epilacy has been disclosed of enormous extent and
alarming magnitude, The (Ned of that Conspiracy,
iii which yon have . borne your several very alive
and criminal parts, has been to overthrow the fundas
Mental Laws and established Government of your
County y, to seize upoe and destroy the sacred person
of our revered and justly beliived Sovereign, and to
murder and destroy the.various members of his royal
house, and' annihilate those branches of the Legisla-
ture of this realm, and which some. of you have
chosen, in bold and desperate language, to describe
xt your meetings as a den,of thieves, and thereby to
supersede the legitimate Government, which you
have chosen to describe in terms, equally reviling
and unjust, as a system of arbitrary rule ; and in.
stead of the ancient limited Monarchy of this realin,.
its established .aed wholesome laws; its approved In.
atitutiona, its Civil and Uniform Gradations of Ranks,
. its natural end desirable Inequality, to substitute a
wild scheme of impratticable equalization of Civil,
Political, and Religious Rights, holding out a vain
and delusive promise elan ample provision for the
• families of the heroes, falsely so called, who should
fall in the Contest : a scheme equally calculated to
produce the misery of those who struggled for its
adoption, as of those who were toilaye been its
" This plan has been stated to have been carried
into execution by the seduttion of unwary and ig.
norant soldiers from their 'Attar, and by attempts to,
ensnare their consciences by the administration of
illegal and impious oaths ; that this might operate
on the more needy and unprincipled- persons of the
lower ranks and classes of .the community, and in-
duce a more ready association in your criminal Con.
federacy, it was (I hope falsely) declared, that thss.
country was ripe fur the attack, and that the people
in all its:great and populous towns were ready to
join it ; and were anxious for that change which was
its objca to effeCt. It appears too, that by a pre.
tendedExecuti veAutho-rity exercised by some among
you, the distribution and diredion of the resources
of the Confederacy, and the supply of ammunition,
arms, and military stores, were held out as the
'• means of assistance, and the encouragement and
pledge of support - It is, however, wisely ordained,
by Divine Provideeee, for. the security and !lapel..
mess of, mankind, that,the rashness of such counsels is.
evtr destined to defeat their malignity ;' and that the
wickedness of the contrivers falls on their own heads,
rid thus afibrds the means of timely escape and secu.
pity to its intended victims. The leagues and unions
which constitute the means of such associates, are
alwayi treacherous. We uniformly find they begin
in Treason to the Sovereign, and end, if they do
not also begin, in treachery..: towards those indi_
vidnAls who compose them. The danger to
the Public which is threatened by their machina.
lions, is redeemed; and its 'aids prevented by
the criminal motives operatinkon the same classes
of delinquents. It has thus happened in the pre.
sent instance, that your crimes have, in part, been
frustrated by the operation of the same instru.
merits by which they were intended to have been
for Warded, arid had, nearly been matured to their
ultithate accomplishment. It behoves all those
whose destruction was doomed to have taken place
in the successful event of this Conspiracy, and who
were the objetisolprosetirtion bysthose whose sen.
thnents ere, I trust, the sentiments of but very
small portion of the people of, the British„ Empire,
to render thanks to God for having hitherto defeated
in. As to you, the contrivers of this dangerous, but
abortive Treason, it remains fir me only to perform
the last but painful part of my official duty. As to

ARIS 4J. DICKIE.

„ „
iv.t,r, Kum-A-yr moved, that the inquisition to
assess damages in this case, should be executed be-
fore the CH rEr Jurrica and a Special Jury. He
stated, that it was an ;talon brought by At is, the
'Governor of Coldbath-fields Prison, against Dickie
the Stationer, for slander, in asserting that he had
starved to death tsvo prisoners committed to his
custody. Dicttfe, at first, pleaded the general issue;
afterwards he withdrew 'that plea, and pleaded a
justification., He did not think fit, however, to go
to trial, but had suffered judgment to go by default.
Rule Niri granted.
