THE ULTRA REFORMERS.

LEEDS, JULY 7, 1 t P )rasters to correct
an error in my letter of yesterday. The Re.
formers, without waiting tor the appoin.cd
called on the Mayor, and took away their Rei'vi-
‘•ition, without assigning any reason tor so doing.
The conversation alluded to in toy letter tools
place on their leaving the R,quisition.
An alarming fact has just colite to my know-
ledge. The Ultra-Reformers thioogitont the
kingdoM, particularly the mantilaettung diitricts,
have tfialatained a most active correspondence
during the past fort [tight ; and it has been
determined among them, that there shall be
a .general and -sitirultaneons meeting of all the
Union Societies, on an early day alter the
prorogation Of Parliament ; that they will they,
publish their numbers to the nation at large, ahrf
proceed immerliately. to cat ry the!r ulterior objectg
into eXectuion ! What these ulterior objects are,
may he pretty accurately guessed, front th(f_tenor
and violence of the Resolutions and proceedings
:of some of the la!e.Meetings.

The reason siigried-114fr. for the withdrawing.
of the Requisiti.9entri-the Mayor, before the
rime appointetP7tir-bis answer, is, that the
Committee .here had received fresh and sodded;
instrnetioos from: the head Committee of Ma-
nugement, which instructions directed them
to remain quiet ~until after the breaking-up
of Parliametttl'----The qu et and peaceably-in-
clined part of the• community are by no means
free from alatm frOm the prospect before us ; for
this part of the kingdom (and 1 ant informed,
'Many other parts)-bas been for the last two years
inundated with sedititus,reeolutionous, and bias-
phemons tracts, which have not only been sold
cheap, but given away, and posted on the walls.
etc. by thousands.
. This industry on the part of the Ultras may
,well excite uneasiness, It is to be hoped, hots -
ever, that the general good sense of the mann-
-factoring classes (tor they are not that ignorant
rabble -which mischief-makers wish to find them),
will induce them to attend to the admonitions Of
•the•friends of peace- and good order, and serve to
shield them and (heir families from that distress
and ruin which acts of violence would undoubted.
ly entail upon them.

DARING, ROBBERY.---On the morni,:g of (he
28th •rnit. a pane of glass was cut in the shop
ivindOw of Mr. Monnier, clock and watch-
make'', • 33, Southampton-street, Strand, and
the thief succeeded in carrying off two watches,
a gold and steel chain, and a silver watch-
case. This daring act was ell', cted at- the
public hour Of • nine, whilst Mr. Monnier was at
breakfast in a back room. Next morning a paper
packet was found in the area, containing the sleet

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY. COMMITTED BY A FEMALE
SEIWANT.-.Yesterday, Isaac liairsign and :inn, his
wife, were btought before Mr. I{AYNSFORD, ;it
Hatton•garden Office, charged by It. Appleyard,
Esq. of No. 9, Montague-street,llussell-squat‘,
with stealing a large quantity of wearing apparel,
consisting of silk stockings, shirts, &c. ; also gold
.pins,•china, table linen, bed furniture, glasses,
tea,- sugar, silver spoons,. plates, dishes, knives
audjurks, .&e. &c. &c. It appeared, that the
above female servant, had lived in the house
upwards of two years and a half, and was vi-
sited by Isaac Hairsi,gn ; but during the time
the . family were -in the country she had got pri-
Nately married, and on her appearing in a state of
-pregnancy she was discharged. In consequence
of -several things having been missed, sulpicion
tell upon the above parties ; more esrcially, as
the man had been frequently seen to take large
bundles away from the house. Upon Edwards
and Wainwright, Police iOfficers, searching. the
prisoners lodging, at No. 11, Princes- st re,t,
Pimlico, accompanied by the butler and lady's
maid, a great number of the above articles were
identified ; and uptin'a second search, upwards of
a coach load were found that could 'not be iden-
tified; Both the prisoners were fully committed
fo'r trial. Mr. Harmer attended for the prosedu-
tion. The f-nuale prisoner has not lain in more
than three weeks.

DESPERATZ OUTRAGE-' eStCrday
ab:int two o'clock, T. Izard, one of the Bow-
street pAtrole, stopped two men with a cart, con-
taining four sheep, supposed to be stolen, near
Muswell Hill, Ilornsey. On his way with the
cart and men, to get more assistance, one of
them felled him to the earth by a dreadful blow
on the head with a large stick, which nearly
made him senseless ; they then drew his cutlasi,
and in the most inhuman trimmer cut him very
severely about the head. The two villains de-
camped ,on hearing another patrole coming up,
leaving the cart and sheep behind them,—
lzard now lies in a dreadful condition.

VICE-CHANCF,I,LOR'S COURT, JuLv 9.

CONTEMPT OF COURT.

M4SSRTT V•. ARDEN, EVERETAPF, AND ANOTHER.

"t tits cage came before the Court, on a motion
by Mr. WINGF,rat.D. pr4yitig that the defendants
might hr committed her a contempt of the Court.
hi December, ISIS, a hill was filed in the Court
by the defetolants, for the specific performance of
a contract ; and soon atter the plaintiff obtained
an injunciion, preventing the parties front pro.-
ceeding in an action at law against him. That
injunction still continued, as no answer had been
put in, notwithstanding which the plaintiff was,
on Saturday last, arrested by an officer of the
name of li)bhin, belonging to the Palace CuOt,
and was kept for sortie days in confinemems.—
The defendant, Mrs. Arden, was' told that the
plaintiff would certainly move the Court against
her if the persi4ted; but she still went on, and
insisted on his being apprehended. lie was. dis-
charged, on giving sufficient bail for the rent due
by hint to the defendant. Of the facts of the case
theme could he no doubt, as they were admittO
in the defendant's answer, without any
eircemstances.
Tne \TICE-CHANCELLOR did not see how a
question of committal could be urged . against
the Sheriff's Officer, tie being a poblie charac-
ter, and oily acting in discharge of a Public
duty.

Mr: PARKER, for the defendant, contended.tha.t
she coldti not possibly have any sinister motive io
view, as she was merely the executrix ot- de-
ceased husband., The vlaiotiil had been arrested
for nio,iey due to i.er as rent since December
last, When the injunciion was granted, 41)11 site
had eVery reason to believe he 1V143 about to quit
the Ft-noses without p,iyior her what he,owed.
lic had- sold .off !he (!t his furni.ur,.which
consrmod her in her beliet of his intentions.

The VICE-GnANcELLott—Are yot► instructed,
lOr—VVitigfi,ld, to press for die coi:►cnitral ?
Woo it hot be noich better. to let the plaintiff
be discharged on her !plying to hin► all his costs,
as site lia. no right io the properly, being merely
an executrix ?

Mr WINGFIELD said, she.had the estate for life.
He had positive i,strucions to move for her be-
hug committed. Slic knew quite well what she
was doing, and surely a person acting in such open
coutt opt of the Court ought not to be suffered to
piss %volt impunity.
The VICE • CHANCELLOR, after some observa-
tions from Counsel, suggested, that the better
way for all parties in ,his opinion would he, to
allow the case to stand over till next seal, in order
to give an opportunity of settling it amicably out
of Court, it being in the mein time intimated,
that unless some amicable arrangement was ef-
fueted, the Court had no other alternative but to
commit for a contempt.
lit (163 suggestion Counsel acquiesced, and the
case stands Over.

OPERA-HOUSE.

WATBRS V. TAYLOR.

Mr. nourr.u. moved for an order of the Court
imtler the following -ciicum'stances :—By the co-
venant tooter which Mr. Waters had the proper•
ty. he was specially bound to insure the Opera-,
riwt..e for the stint of 24,0001. and he was to do
in the (UMW of Mr. Taylor, or of Mr. Hid-
low,tys trustees, Seijeants Lawes and Marshall.
Fai:ptg to do this, An application was made to the
Court by Mr. Taylor, who complained that the
full amount had not been insured. The Court
gtahted an order for that being done, but it 'had
sioce appeared that Mr Waters insured the whole
in his own name, though bound by the covenant
to do otherwise. Mr. Taylor, having sold his
share to Mr. Waters, had no right of course to
insist on the property being insured in his name;
and lie therefore now applied to the Court that
an order might be made for the names of the
two trustees being inserted in the policy of in-
surance.

The Court granted the order as rayed far.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 9.

411iddleses adjouraed Sittings after Trin;ty Term before the
Chief Justice and a Special Jury.

• JOURNEYMEN COACHNIAKERS' CONSPIRACY.

THE KING V. WILLIAM CONNELL AND OTHERS.

This was an incite' went against 20 persons, con-
nected with the coachmaking trade, for a conspi-
racy to raise wages, and make regulations touch-
ing the trade in general by unlawful combinations.
One of the defend:tuts, named kVin. Penrose, since
the indictment was found, had died. The follow-
ing persons were put on their trial :-117m. Con-
;tell. a journeyman coach-trirnMer, working with
Mr. ste-yeusoti, a coachmakcr ; George Stephen-
son, Win. Thatcber, Thomas IVildey, the elder,
Ridiard Palmer, master coach-smiths; David
Vince, John Carwardine, Abel Brannan, Richard
A Ider, and Sydney Thomson, journeymen coach-
smiths ; Richard Windorer, James Langshaw,
John Stevens, 'Thomas Cux, John Moody, jour-
neymen coach-trimmers; James Field, Jahles
Doke, and James Clarke, journeymen coach-
spring-makers. The defendant, Thomas
jun had not pleaded.
The prosecution was conducted by Mr. CUR.*
tiEY, Mr. HOLLAND, and Mr. PLATT.
Mr. SCARL6TT and Mr. F. PoLLoct. conducted
the tictenee of the master coach-smiths; Mr.
144:AiiRYAT and Mr. CHITTY that of the journey-
men smiths, and spring-makers and trimmers ;
awl air. DENMAN that of Wm. Connell.
Mr. GUI4NEY stated the case with his usual per-
spicuity. lie said, that the persons named in
the indictment had been selected from an im-
mense number of those who were engaged in the
dangerous and extensive conspiracy charged
against tile defendants, on account of the prono-
- part which they had taken in it. The object
of the conspiracy WaS as mi3chievons as could
Well be imagined, and in it• operations was only
to tie hounded by the extent of the whole trade
of coach-tuaking. In sul;stance, the charge
the dettolatus was, that of conspiring
by uniaNftil combination, to restrain ihe master
co,:ch-makers in the lawful exercise of their trade.
The coach-making trade consisted of several

brancbta.
roach-makers, harness-makers,paintere,
smiths, and spring-makers, in some of which the
defendants were employed. le the spring of last
year the conspiracy broke forth in full operation,
but it appeared that the plan of it had beet, laid
two years since, by a society cilling themselves
" The Benevolent Society of Coach-makers,"
formed tinder pretence of relieving the aged and
sickly members of the trade, bet in reality for the
purpose of regulating the trade, and compelling
masters to submit to the combined power of the
journeymen. This sm iety was formed on thy
26th of February, 181(1, and solicited the patron-
age of hit Royal Flightless the Doke of Sussex.
In order to disarm the master coach-makers of
any suspicion of their designs, they had studiously
ieserted an article in,their bye-laws, to the effect
" That no tourneyman should in any way con►-
hine against his employers." This was intro-
duced as a fundamental article, but was in fact
pot fat ward, in order to deceive the masters.—
Whilst they put forth the ptetended rules of the
society, they had in tact another set of rules,
taloor were really to he acted upon, and those
were to be kept in protound secrecy by the mem-
bers of the society. These rules were printed,
hut not the least remarkable part of their pro-
ceedings was, that these articles were without a
printer's name. The grand mover and leader of
this conspiracy, was the del-endue:, William Con-
'tell. By the secret rules alluded
.to, a grand
Committee was to be formed for superintend-
ing the affairs of the society, the members of
which were divided into three classes, citizens,
subjects, and people, the candidates for which
ranks respectively, were, to render themselves
eligible by a strict conformance with the midi of
the society, and penalties were to he imposed for
any disobedience thereto, besides degradation to the
lower rank in case of defauitf and in the case of
an incortigible offender, he was to he turned out
of the society for ever, that is to starve, because
such was the influence of the society, that he
could get no employment in any part ot 'the kitte-
dom. The Grand Committee was to have a sus'
preme po.ver over The Society except as to the
funds ; there was to be a General Secretary (Mr.
Cantrell) and Divisional Secretaries of Districts,
who were to act as spies upon the conduct of the
Members of the Society. If a proactibed man
should happen to get employment in any part of
the country, such was the power of the London
Society, that they could compel the master so of-
fending to turn him off. There were instances of
the exercise of this lower. In one case, a coach-
maker at Bristol had employed a proscribed man,
and Mr Gtiiittil had told him that if be not
immediately cease to employ the offender, be (Mr.
C.) had 20001. at his command, and he would set
up a coaciunaker against him in. the town, and
ruin hini, by compelling all his workmen to leave
his employment. Among other articles of, the
Society was one, that a journeyman who should
serve any master but an honourable master, he
should be liable to a penalty of 10s. Gd. per day.
By an honourable muter, was meant a man who
employed none but members of the Society; and
lby another article, any forem,an of a shop in the
country who betrayed the secrets of the Society,
was liable to a fine of 20 guineas. Anotheraob-
ject of the Society was to prevent masters from
taking Tore than one apprentice to every six men.
In short, from first to last, the object of the So-
ciety was to keep a monopoly of the trade in their
own bands, by ovetaweing the masters to a com-
pliance with their regulations. The master-
coechmakers were not blind to the effect, which
the formation of this Society produced upon their
Workmen, who manifested a great deal of dis-
content ; but still no overt acts of the conspiracy
were yet exhibited. They were, howe►er, in
hourly apprehension that some burst would take
place, without being aware from what cause it
proceeded; because the operations of the society
were kept profoundly secret. By the merest ac-
cident the plans of the society were discovered.—
In the month of February, 1818, a parcel, directed
to a Mr. Williams, a coach-maker, had been sent
by a stage-coach to Reading, in Berkshire. But
no person of that name being resident in that
town, it was delivered to Mr. Brown, a coach;
maker, of that place. This parcel contained a
letter, in 'the hand-writing of the defendant,
Connell, addresst d to Mr. Williams, informing
him that he inclosed in the parcel copies of the
two sets of rules in question for hig perusal ; that
the second set, already described, were the pri-
♦ate articles upon which the society were really_
to act. In that letter were the following ex-
pressions :—" We are now preparing for a turn-
out in London ;- and as the fate of the trade in
general depends on the first encounter, it is ne-
cessary that the whole, farce of the country should
bear down upon it, in order to insure its success.
In case of its being successful, we propose to turn
our attention to the country, and attack one place
after another, mita the whole trade in each town
respectively is brought under, when we shall put
the private articles in force, and then we shall go
on inure comfortably, &c." This letter, together
with its accompanying documents, was afterwards
transmitted by Mr. Brown to Messrs. Hopkinson,
coach-makers, of London. In the mean time the
society went on in maturing its plans, by enlisting
under its banners all thejourneymea coach makers
in the kingdom, in order, by one simultaneOus
effort to bring the masters to terms. Pre.
paratory to the blow which was to be struck,
a printed letter, signed " An Enemy to
Intolerance" had been clandestinely lett at
the houses of different master coach-makers
throughout town, containing a list of the
demands or requests of the journeyman, which
demands were of a nature highly injurious to the
trade.. Some of the masters, influenced by terror,
acquiesced in these demands, but others manfully
resisted them. The author of this circular, it
would appear, woe Mr. Connell, who, it seemed,
had endeavoured on repeated occasions to induce
sonic of the masters to become members of the
Society, with a view of engrossing the whole
trade to themselves to the exclusion of the fair
manufacturer. lu the spring of last year, the
plans of the Society being ripe for action, the
first open manifestation of their design was by
corrupting the coach-spring-makers, and on the
1411 of March, all the persons en,l,eg,d in that
branch of the trade in London struck, and icfused
to work any more-; and,' but for tic molly re- .

-sistance or tile Masters to this overwltelthing con-
spiracy, the whole of their trade must have been
destroyed. The Learned Counsel said, that he
had a volume of evidence to lay before the Jury,
demonstrating the guilt of the defendants. This
was the outline of the, case which be had to lay
before the Jury ; and he was persuaded that-they
would have no hesitation in coming to that ver-
dict which should consign these conspirators to
the just reward of their enormous offences.
Witnesses were then called to support the pro-
secution, amongst whom were Mr. Brown, of
Reading, and. Messrs. William and Luke Hopkin-
son, the coachmakers, of High Holborn: The
evidence of the' latter
,Gentleman, which was
given at great length, tended to spew in the
clearest manner, confirmed as it was by the do-
cumentary evidence already alluded to, the guilt
of Connel, Vince, Carwarden, Brannan and
A bier.

Before any other evidence was offered, the de-
fendants' Counsel severally interposed, and ad-
mitted that it was impossible to resist the weight
of evidence adduced, and therefore, without fur-
ther occupying the time of the Court, they would
consent that a verdict of guilty in each case should
be recorded, trusting that this step would be met
by the prosecutors with corresponding lenity.
Mr. GURNKY, on the part of the prosecution,
said he was instructed to sty, that in consequence
of the course now adopted by the defendants the
prosecutors would forbear. (with the exception of
one) to bring them tip for jodement, on condition
that the liability to hr Gilled up should hang
over their heads in lerrorent, as a security for their
tntote good hehavi wt.. As to the defendant
cannel), no hopes of forbearance could be held
out.

Mr. DeNNAN followed, the example of his
Learned Frictids in Sorienderitig his client Connell
to a verdict of Guilty, feeling that as the weight
of ,he case was against him, it was impossible to
expect that the Jury would come to a different
conclusion after they had heard the whole of the
ease. lint he indulged a hope, that after the heat
of feeling upon this subject had sulisided, the pro-
secutors would be disposed to lot bear • carrying
the extremity. of ,the,lantinto effect.
The CHIEF JUSTICa said, that the Learned
Counsel had exercised a. very sound discretion in
adopting this course—a discretion most favourable
to his client, aAi which would have the effect, in
some degree, of relieving him from the pressure of
the case. It was impossible, after attending to
the evidence, for auy man to doubt what the re-
sult of the case would be if it went to the Jury;
and his Lordship could not suffer this occasion to
pass without observing that if the master coach-
makertrhad fallen into the plan proposed by the
conspirators, they would themselves .have been
guilty of a great offence and a high misdemeanor;
because, to confine this trade to a certain class of
persons, so as to enable them to pay their work-
men such wages as they might demand, and to
exact from their employers such prices as they
chose, would be the, most .unlawful combination
of which any persons could be guilty.
A verdict of Guilty was then recorded against
each of the defendants.

OLD BAILEY.

FORGERIES OF BANK-NOTES.

Upon the arrival of the Judges yesterday morn-
ing, the tour following persons were put to the
par, charged with tittering, end having in their
possession, divers forged and counterfeit Bank of
En'gland Notes, well knowing them to he forged,
viz. Owen Roydon, James Rabnett, Esther Bevan,

CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.
_ .

Francis Roxburgh, a man of respectable appear-
ance, was indictedon the verdict of the Coroner's
Jury, being charged with killing and slaying
Charles 'Coe on the 2d of June last. The case,
en tie part of the prosecution, was opened by Mr.
Rs Y NOLDS.

John Paul, the first witness, stated that he was
clerk to Messrs. Hinton and Co. in the isle of
Dogs. He said that on the evening of the day
in question, between five and six in the after-
noon, he was proceeding along Holborn west-
ward, that very tear Brownlow-street, he
saw an elderly gentleman crossing the street from
the north side ; at the same time he saw a man
on horseback, who was the prisoner at the bar,
riding up against him, and kuock him down. At
this moment the witness exclaimed, " Stop the
rascal !" the horse's head was immediately turn-
ed ; witness ran np to the prisoner and said,
You brutal rascal, how dare you to ride over the
Gentleman i" The prisoner answered that it was
the man's own fault, and asked why he did
not get out of the way On this, the crowd
which collected round the spot became in-
dignant ; and witness insisted on the name
and address of the prisoner, who at first refused
to give it, appeared indifferent about the act he
had done, and wanted to get away. Prisoner
said, he knew Mr. Francis, a linen-draper, who
lived close by, and Mr. F. immediately came out
of Lis shop, and gave the prisoner's name and
address. The deceased was taken into the shop
of Mr. Corbyn, the chemist. The witness said
be was sate that the accident would not have
happened if due caution had been used by the
prisoner. On his cross-examination, be said he
was sure this affair happened about twenty minutes
before six o'clock.

Mr. Joseph Wood, assistant in the shop of Cor-
bps and Co. chemists, in Holborn, remembered
the deceased having been brought in. He was
sure it was about half-past four o'clock, because a
quarter before five was the time of their drinking
tea, and they had got their tea when the man was
brought in. About ten minutes after the prisoner
came in, and said if the deceased bad been struck
down by him, he was sorry for it, or words to that
effect. , The deceased in a short time was able to
answer questions put to him : be complained of a
pain in his head, and said he did not know bow
the accident happened to him. Witness made the
deceased swallow a small quantity of camphor
time was a tumour in the Old Gentleman's head,
of which he did not know the cause. He was not
in any respect woundt.d. lie laboured under a
di:ficulty of breathing. •
Mr. il..l:,rgpn, a strivon, who attended the dc-

ceased after he was brought home to his house ";
Redford-row, said, that at Gist the deceoic"
seemed not to know .how he met the aceidearl
but he afterwards said, on the suggestion of. his
wife, that "he was knocked down in the Weer'
and. got his death-blow. XVitness stkid the id;
mour in his head was occasioned by a blow, 04
that the blow was the cause of his death. Mr'
Morgan said he used to attend the deceased be'
fore this accident, and that some time before t"'
had been. in a fit, in consequence, of having taken
a great quantity of gin.
Mr. ALLEY took two objections to the idle'
meat, which had been framed upon the Compel
Inquest ; but Mr. Justice UOLRoYD over-ruled
them.

The prisoner being called on for his defence'
solemnly protested that he was unconscious of tike
accident, not having seen the old gentleman
He expressed his deep regret at the occurs-epee..
The following witnesses were examined in b•IS
behalf :
Mr. Josiah Platt, Chief Clerk to Mr. Jostige,
Best, was passing through Holborn, on the 2,1 of
June, and saw the deceased on his back in 021:Ael
street, as if in a fit. His lips were closed, 01'7
be appeared convulsed. He was lying crosswoY.:
in such a sinration as he could not have•been 10,"
he been knocked down by a horse.
Mr. Francis, linen-draper, also saw the deceased
lying in the street, as stated. Witness heard a
noise, and the cry of " stop," wl,k,n he saw lba
prisoner trotting on a pony, but who immediate'
ly stopped of his own accord.
John Turner and James Moore, drayrnen;s3l,i
they were passing by at the time, :ind saw the 0.01
man on his hack in the street. if the horse of the
prisoner had ran against him they mu,t hake see"
it ; they thought he must have tallest before Oa
horse had reached him.

Mks Mary Wilson was also there. The (le.
ceased was asked in her presence if he could tell
how the accident happened, and he distinctly said
'he coal not tell.

A number of respectable witnesses gave tha
prisoner a most estimable character for homanil9'
Mr. Justice HotttoYD told the Jury, that th:6
question they had to try was, whether the P.
soner, riding at a quick speed along the street,
hid caused the death of the other through a a'ss't
of due caution ; and whether by taking pt4'll,
care, be might not have avoided the accident. 11
that were the case, he was guilty. But all that
depended on the evidence:of Paul, which, in scrag
.particulars, was contradicted by that of other
witnesses.

The Jury, without retiring, found the ri"
soner—Not Guilty.

Wednesday evening some villains entered thte
Parish Church of St. Peter, at Sr. Alban's, will
they robbed of two surplices, the pH fringe a
the velvet on the the gold tassels, co'
shions, and a large chest, containing parish paper.'
They entered by working an aperture in the we's'
tern side of the church.

Yesterday the body of a well dressed man, sir

was discovered floating in the river Thames ;
was immediately conveyed to the Feathers on Nli?
