The friends of Sir RALPH WOODFORD will be
glad to learn that no mention is made in the
nidad Papers of any attempt to assassinate his
Excellency, although those Papers come do►vn to
four days subsequently to the alleged outrage. The
rumour indeed was on the face of it highly impro-
bable. It reached this country as a report through
the medium of a Jamaica letter,"and it stated that
the attack was made 011 Sir RALPH 011 the evening
of the 24th of August, while he was Sitting with
his wife. Unfortunately for the narrator, the
worthy Governor was never nlarfled.l

NEV BAILF.Y.
FOURTH EXAMINATION OF MEAGHER.

(From The Times.)

" The Court met this morning at 10 o'clock, ac.
cording ►o the adjournment.
Mr. RALPH WRIGHT entered Court at half-past
10, and
Edward Meagher was put to the bar.
Mr. ATKINSON, addressing, the Magistrate, said,
" I an) sorry to state that many of my witnesses
will not be present to-day, in consequence of
being threatened if they attended. I arts extremely
sorry to bear that the Police is in some measure
concerned in this affair, and that those witnesses
examined on Saturddy last have been threatened.
I wish much to protect them from these insubs.
The poor woman, Elizabeth Leigh, has been
grossly insulted by one or two of the officers of
the Police."
Mr. WRIGHT_Yo❑ bad better not bring for-
ward any charge at present. It any one has given
any obstruction or abuse, they shall be punished.
Mr. ATKINION—.My witnesses will not attend.
Mr. WRIGHT—Your best way would have
been to have brought your witnesses here.
Mr. ATKINSON---1 hope some steps will be
taken in consequence of these insults.
Mr. Foucxes—l really think Mr. Atkinson
should not be allowed to deal out this general
slander against officers of the peace. It is highly
indecorous and •improper. It Mr. Atkinson has
evidence, let his witnesses be called. On the pare
of the prisoner, I disclaim any thing of the kind
alluded to.
Mr. Baer:tow—So I ►lo distinctly.
Mr. FOULKES—I challenge Mr. Atkinson to the
proof.

-'
Jui] Bradbury was the first called by Mr. At-
kinson.—l live at No. 71, Porfer-street, and am
a watchman. .1 belong to No. 11 district. 1 was
out on duty on Saturday, the 2d of October, and
heard the report of a pistol about half past twelve
on that night. I was then about forty yards
from whence the pistol was fired, where the pi-
sorter lives. A woman was speaking to me, and
asking, " In the name of God, what is to be
done ?" I went round to Brazennose-street, and
the second pistol was fired while I was in H
street. I proceeded to the bottom of Brazennose-
street. The people increased by the firing of the
pistol. I saw Nadia there, and he dispersed the
crowd, I saw the head of the prisoner throngis
the window, after Mr. Nadin had ordered him to
open- the door, and the people dispetsed. I saw
no kind of tumid( more that night than another
before the firing the pistol. 1 was in ouch a si-
tuation that 1 could see well.
Cross-examined by Mr. FOULKES.—I could see
the tumult iu Deansgate. I was in Queen-streer,
which runs out in a parallel line with Brazennose-
street. I was 40 yards from the prisoner's house
on the same side of the street. I was going my
rounds then.—l bad not that night been in Mrs.
Leigh's cellar. When that happened I had not
seen her. After this she gave me threepence for
calling her up that night. (A plan was here shown
to witoess.) I was nearer Deansgate than the end
of tinkle-street. I went wood instead of comiug
immediately to the place where the pistol was
fired, because I was going my rounds. My te-
gular round is to go half down Queen-street and
up again. Although a watchman, I did not go
immediately to the place where it was fired. I
did not know what might have been the conse-
quence of if. I did not immzdiately spring my
rattle, but 1 did afterwards. Although a woman
said to me, " Good God I what is to be done," I
did not go immediately to the place. (The plan
was then shown to the Magistrate)
Mr. FOULKES (to the Magistrate.)-1-lere, Sir,
I will show you he went round 200 yards.
Examination continued.—'!'here were three
other watchmen besides myself all upon our
rounds. One was at the corner of Brazennose-
street. Mr. Nadir some time afterwards told ma
and the other watchmen to do their duty. I and
Mrs. Leigh are not intimate. She gives me
threepence a week for calling her up and het
children,

Examined by the MAGISTRATE--. 1 could Hot
see the front of Mengher's house. There were
prrsons standing opposite to the house after the
firing.

MAGISTRATE—After the firing ?—Yes.
Cross-exatuntirtion continued—Your attention
was drawn to the place by the filing ?—I cannot
tell what happened before the firing. I had not
been in Queen-street fire minutes. 1 came down
I-luline-street, and down Brazennose-street. The
woman who said " Good God, what is to be
done ?" lives in a cellar in Queen-street. I don't
know either the number or her name.
Examined by Mr. ATKINSON—Have you had
nothing said to you as a threat ?—Yes, at about
a quarter before one o'clock this morning the
watch and ward were coming—
Fout.xEs here interrupted the witness. I
think this testimony should not be received; it is
not quite fair.

Mi. WRIGHT—You had better take the regular
coarse, and not introduce the matter here.
ATKINSON—Very well, Sir; that is your
pleasure.
Air. WRIGHT—Yes, Sir, it is.
The next witness called was George Wroe.--.
I live at Salford, and am a painter. 1 ant a watch-
man, and go on one side 13razennose-street and.
Ridge-field. On Saturd►►y, the 2(1 of October, i
was on duty, and I saw the prisoner about twelve
o'clock in Deansgate, at Spinningfield-end ; there
were one or two within three yards of him. John
Longworth, another watchman, was with rar ;
Longworth is now ill in bed ; 1 last saw him on,
Sunday, he was then in bed. Slimily after see-
ing the prisoner, I observed he was talking, but
I did not know what he said. Longworth told

. _
the prisoner to go home. Shortly after, about a
quarter of an hour, 1 heard the watchman's ratfle.
When i saw Aleagher at first, there was nothing.
like disturbance in the street ; nothing more thatt
in general. It was about the time of slotting up
the public-house, and many people were coming
out. There were some people in the street, buc
not near the house.

Cress-examined by Mr. BAnuovr —I am cousin
o Air. Wioe, of the Observer office, Aldrickester.

saw Lopwvorth's wife this morning. I have
not seen him since snnday.
Nir. ATKlNSON—Longworth bad orders to be
here.
Mr. iitenuow—l take it so.

Cross-examination continued—For what reason
did Longworth tell Meagher to go home ?-11e
lati been malting some disturbance before, but 1
(lid not hear it.
What sort of disturbance ?-1 cannot tell.

if you neither beard it or any thing else, how

do you know it 2—Longworth told toe. I don't
know that Longworth tells people often to go
home; he is very quiet in the street. difi not
hear the prisoner make complaints to Longworth ;
I (lid not hear Meagher say " I have beets ill-
used."

Yon appear here in a different character; about
pickitag pockets, don't you I—l do.
_ .

Mr. ATKINSON—That is net fair.
Mr. BARRow—I want to show his character :
I will show that be was in company with ttvo

Mr. WUIGHT—You had better not.

Examination continued—Refore this happened
I was not sitting on Mr. Heron's steps in Deans-
gate. I know Batty, the beadle, and I swear he
did not rouse me from those steps that night. To
the best of my recollection, be did not. From 11
at night to 3 in the morning, be did not rouse me
from the steps. My beat is not the same as Long-
worth's. At this time we were both in Deans•
gate, opposite to the Red Lion window. In my
beat I take Ridgefield. this district is on the
wirer side of Deansgate. I was at the Red Lion
window about four minutes talking with thins. I
bad not beets that evening its the Red Lion. This
was about 12 o'clock. f parted, with Longworth
there, and I went back again along my own dis-
trict. i went over to the Castle-inn, and took a
mats thereto get hint lodgings. I stayed thereabout
a quarter of an hour, and the man gave me some-
thing to drink. The man came to me as I was stand-
ing- with Longworth. During the 4 minutes 1 was
talking, there was no disturbance, and I made the
obaerration to Longworth—" The streets seem
giriet." We generally made these remarks on
,1.-;atntlay night, I went into the Castle.:ints to
drink. While I was there, there might have
he4n a eonsiderable distnrhance before Meaglier's
house, for any thing I,knew to the contrary, with-
out my hearing it. When I came oaf of die lon
the watchmen were springing their rattles. The re
Were immy people then in the street, and they
were taking the two woanded inert away. I saw
Loogwordi when I went op to the house. All
the mischief happened before I arrived.• 4 did licit
hear any pistols fired. I WA'S not -standing with

Cross-examination tontinued—Whea I gut to Spiiising-held
I was indueost to go to Nleagher's house by seeing a disturb-
ance there. This was about 40 yards distant. I went, al-
though my Ntrat3ll4l6 Were.sulartilis, to Meagher's house ; it was
nay fancy to go there.
Why you went 20 yards en the otiser Side.—Yes, because I
did not like to be. shot at for nothing.
George Oinirsou and Luke Butterworth were called, but did
not appear.
Matthew Fioligh—f am a bricklayer, and live in Back
Queewitreet. I remember being out on the Saturday night
in question. f was opposite Meagher's house a little before
twelve, and again at a quarter past twelve. I left the Red
Lion a little before twelve, and went towards Knott-mill,
Deansgatc. I went lute the Swan, and then came hark on
the same title of the street. I went past Brazennose-street.—
I did not see any noise or disturbance. In a few minutes after
.1 returned past Meagher's again. I saw neither man, woman,
or child, on the same side of the street with mys.elf, near to
Meagher's house. There were a few passing awl te-passi.tg
en the other side. Whets in the middle of Queen-street I
heard the report of a pistol. I was crossing to my own door
in Back tlneen-etteet. I saw that the flash came from out of
a garret-window. I saw the Mtn retiring fronts the window.
I went aliout I yards further, taking any tints- at a slow pace,
and then I heard the report of another pistol. I saw the
wadding train the piste! on fire falling into the street. Dur-
ing all the time I saw nothing like riot.
Mary Danis—l am a married woman, and live at No. 35,

at October, I had just done my supper, when I heard the re-
port of a pistol. I ran out to the Stump, near. Felix's (a
puhlic-house) first door. It is at the bottom of Queen-street,
and nearly opposite the house where the prisoner lives.—
While there I saw Meagher looking out of his garret-window,
fronting into Queen-street. I heard hhu say, " Come on
you ." Immediately afterwards be fired. I never
heard any one say any thing to we. I heard firs twice, aad

saw him fire once. I saw the prisoctsa throw a stone through
the window at the tamp. Ir broke the lamp, and he said,
" Now, what have you done ?" and iheit shouted, " Watch,
watch," and " murder." I am truite sure it was he who
broke the lamp. I saw noparticula.r disturbance at the time.
Cross-esainine,l—Nly husband is a tailor, and so is the pri-
soner. I saw no people in. front of the house. I was en-
gaged its looking at the prisoner. I saw Mather afterwards
It there was snhody in the street, how came he to say, " Come
on you h--?"-1 don't know. I suppose he was talking to
somebody. but I saw no one. I won't swear that nobody
said any thing to him. All on th:: outside was perfect peace
and good order. I stopped in the street till the rich (the

new church in Oxford-road. I hare beets 10 months out of
work. I used to work in a factory belonging to Mr. John
Marshland. I worked last at M'Couttell's and Kennedy's. I
worked in the Card-room, and left them, because it was such
a way to go in the morning. I was not turned away. I have

I went a little further arad 'tan; a uan, supported hy five or

ennduct of the prisoner. ,The watch and ward asked him if he
had fired .any pistols. He answered that he had. Some
one in the crowd said, " IJeis_go.ing ne fire itgaiii:" A hard
substance came from the window and broke the lamp. The
crowd retreated. When 4 got there, there was.sto rietnr
disturbance. There' were about tia4 a dozen tarela when
got there.;
Cross-examined—l had been utlionte 90 minsrtes when I
heard the report-of the pistol. When I came rip, Mather was
exclaiming, " Fire. 4tgaitt,,•you: rascal." •The risoner said
something to the watch and ward, besnlesaCknowledging that

was going down by the.sille of the prisoner's door before 12,
aura I-saw Meagher talking a ith another man. The prisoner
bade tbe •Gentleman " He' had a stuck pistol
with brass on the end in his breast. There was no noise or
disturbance. I went away, and .returned in a quarter .f an
hour, and saw the prisoner looking out of the garret window.
He kept, walking from one window to the other. I fell in
with Joseph Jones, and we all went on laughing and talking
among ourselves. • When near Cripid's-alley sioenebotly,called
out " Irish tbief.7 The prisoner fired the* directly, and
wounded Joseph Jones. I then took Jones away. During.
this time I heard no distill-fiance.

Crots-exatnined—l was going this night with Thos. Stork-
ley to look for his father. When I saw the prisoner at the
door, he had a blue great-coat on and'-white trowsers. When
the term " thief" was used, I was nearly opposite a
grucet's shop, about five yards on this side of 'Parliament-
street. Some osse higher,- up Deansgate cried out, " Irish
thief" to share one; who it was said this I don't know. 1
den't know of wham it was said. Immediately afterwards,
the pistol was fired. I did not see any out opposite Nleagher's
house but oursetves ; there were seven or right of the party.
There were Steel, Stuxkley, Thomas and Jo.. Jones, More,
:tad ..othors.

Jonathan Fan ows—l re at Nn.l3, Tattle Job n-street, and am
a copper-plate printer: Onthe Saturday I was passing Qttein-
street at about, half-past t welre; I heard the report of a
pistol tired at the top of Bridge-street. I went forward, and
on passing Meagher's :house, tie canoe to the window in his
shirtsleeves. He- cried out " Watch; watch," and cried out
for a picquet of soldiers. He said, his life was in.danger.
When I came to the end of Parlianient-street I.saw at person
who was wounded. I saw nothing.like riot or disturbance.
Cross examined—Bridge-streett's about 200 yards distant
from the house;' the iiiidoWs appeared to be yvkuie at that
time; I heard nothing said isy the people.
Edward Langtree—l live at No.B, Back Queen-street, and am
a fustian cutter. 'On Saturday, Oct, 2d„ I was in 13ean.sgate
at about half-past 14; I'saw the prisoner opposite the Dog
Tavern. He-came towards us and said, 4‘ itim, if I find,
him I'll hare Iris tile." 'He 'said tioilling more, but went on
towards his own house. I followed , I:saw no persons
.insulting him, nor was there any disturbance at the time.
Cross-examined--I don't know to whom he alluded its saying
'-`4 lift%'t Ilia life." ' The priioner appeared to
be looking for some one. He was with men who might be
headlestos, arty thing I know. There were two,persons with
ore : one was Thomas Lomas, and the other Edwards'. The
prisoner overtook us in the Middle Of the road.
Mr.' Thomas , 'Ogden of the Police, was called by I}lr. At-_
kinson. My duty is to took after nuisances; I ant employed
thy the Commissioners. When I heard the report of the pis-
tol,
.I sat ins ray own house near the Castle-4in, l)eansgate,
Litton hearing a.second report, I werit out anil saw a crowd of
'people before. Nleagitei's house; they were veryviolets, atxl
said they were determined to have him oat, Or •pull the house
dawn. People called to me to grand fetch him oilt,itnowitrg
that I was constable. I told them it was a very serious hil-
liness, and I would send for Mr. Nadin. Between the hist
and second pistol about two' Oa Unit es elapsed.
Cross-examined—The crowd was so violent that S was afraid
of interfering,.. I waited till the ycatch and ward, came up,
and rest:aimed there till Nadia canto. I saw no lamp broken
by the prisoner. The people threatened to throw at ..the
house. d .adrised them not to do it, for that the prisoner
would he brought to justice. Notwithstanding .ray advice,
some windows were hrtken. When Sadism came, up, the ini-
tialler came down and opened the (loor for us. He said no-
about his reason her firing.
by the Magistrate—There were more than 100
persons-there wlietr-he got there. From the time of the first
firing to the time of his arrival at this spot two or three
minates had elapsed. '

MAGISTRATE (to the prisoner)—What have you
to soy for yourself ?—I !cove my case to, my pro-
fessional4elvisers.

Mr. Fout.Kas then, on the part of the prisoner,
called the attention of the Magistrate to the sta-
tute under which the' ptisOner had been appre-
hended, via. the Cutting and Maiming Act. if
terror and threats were used, sufficient to make
hint believe that his person and property were in
danger, be bad made out a good defence. fie
alluded to the case of Hague arid others, where
a crowd had assembled round the factory . of -Mr.
Cartwright, tind where the people were fired up-
on. He also referred to the case of Middleton,
where it bad been found that the party' had acted
in his own defence. So in this 'case the same
would be distinctly made out. He should prove
by respectable witnesses, not such as Mrs.. Leigh
and Steel, but just and honourable men would
state, that the pri9ontee life had been put la leo-

partly, and bad been most abominably ill-treated
by a mob.—(Hisses.)
Mr. i\]ILNE—I shall order the Court to he clear-
ed it that improper disturbance continoes
Mr. FoULKEs continued to slate the evidence
which he would adduce; and particularly alluded
to the ill-treatment of Meagher at the Dog Ta-
vern. He was about to observe upon some
strong observations contained in The Manchester
Observer respecting the'prisoner, when,
Mr. ATE{ LN SON objected to 'the .iiiention of it, as
it had nothing to do with tire case.
Mr. FouLicas—l don't want your interference,
Sir.
Mr. WRIGHT—Go on, Mr. Foullies.
Mr. FOULKES said, that he should show the in-
tention of this infamous Journal was to inibtence
the public mind, by abominable and inflammatory
language. This Paper had the audacity to coin,
plaiu, that " this man of blood (Meagher) still
lives." Was it to be wondered that the public
mind was irritated after such gross and rascally
abuse
Mr. ATKINSON (for the prosecution) then con-
tended, that under the act 'sufficient evidence had
been adduced to put the prisoner upon his trial ;
and that there was no power in the Magistrate to
hear the witnesses for the defence.
Mr. IVRIGHT—You would not contend, that if
a man's house were attacked by a parcel of fel-
that if a man (liferids hitrisell, and fires, and
kills, that be is guilty of murder?.
Mr. ATM NSO N I should contend no such thing.
Mr Foy Lxas—A man is bound to protect him-
self and family.
Mr. NVRIGHT—The only question is, whether
it has been done to :lawfully in this case.
Mr. FOULKES—To be sure, arid I shall prove
that the priso,4er fired only in defence of himself
•and hi 3 property.
The following witnesses were then called for
the defence 1—

'Henry Canteril I was the first witness called far thedefence.
—1 am a law-writer and stationer. I was with the prisoner
on Saturday the id of October, in the Red Lion, with ano-
ther man. •We had a Apiary of ale and some bread and•cheese.
He was quite sober. , I went out with bin, to Dean,gate,
Thfre was is shriek of Murder in the street. It was a little
more than I 1 o'clock. .1 and the prisoner went to where the
cry came frOm. The priioner found two of his workmen
a crowd iu Dtansgate. He laid hold of them by the collar,
one each hand, and took them to the police-office. I
went nearly-opposite-the'pollce-Offee with him. As he was
taking the two uteu, the crowd said nothing particular about
he trumpeter. Thepeuplefollowed Meagher to time police-
otfice, and hissed him. When he cause to the. police-office
-some person said " that's 'the h— trumpeter, take the
.pistol from his hand •and• blow. his brains out." He went by
the George, and the erased folhiwed him. I went with him.
The crowd cried out " do yOnr job before the winter is
over:" This was said by several, and they aslded that he was
the ;eader at St.Peter's4eh. The-crowd followed him all the
way up Deansgate. The prisoner said hehati to go to the
Flytog'iltirse,andbe asked rue to go with 'him. I did go, and
wailed at the dour. He came out, and went down Manket-
-street into Deansgate. When we got to the door of his house,
there was a,crowdaaf 20 or JO people before it. When he got
near the house, the mob cried, " Let us all set upon him at
once:" His wife ,cried out, " For God's sake come in,
Edward, or they will murder you." I then left lain]. thinking
myself in--danger. The piismier said nothing to influence or
insult the people.
Cross-examined—The people said nothing as he went to the
looliceosflicie.• When the prisoner • went to the Flying Horse,
the mob did not follow him. They left him near the Red
LiOni. The people did not set upon biro at-once. I did not
feel great alarm. I went home, and notwithstanding these
threats-, I 'did not go to Mr. Nadia.
Win. Burn—l work for time prisoner, and Irecollect the Sa-
turday night in question. On -coming put of Mr. Robinson's,
Hope and Anchor public-haute, nearly opposite the Castle,
between 10 and 11 at night, I was attacked by 12 or 14 per-
sons. I did not know their. As I passed by them, they said,
" I'm sure that's the d—d trumpeter." Idechired that I was
not the person. One then said "If You are not him, you are
-his brother," and then said " Knock him down, I have re-
marked him a long time." They knocked me down.
Mr. Atkimion—Do yonthimik-this material, Sir ? •
Magistrate—lt will lead to something..
Mr. Foulkes--.To he sure. We will show you if you wait.
Magist rate—Go on.
Examination eontinued—Another man cried out, ." Leap
on the topef him." A friend of mine (Mullet), came into
the crowd. They struck him several times. The prisoner
then came up. .I cried out to' thein. not 'to take My hat, or
murder me. Meagher reseued me from the crowd, and took
me to the Palide-office.- He left me -there.
There was :no cross•examination..
• Walter Mullet-1 live in-TUrrier-strect, and ant a journey-
man tailor, working for the prisoner. On the Saturday I was-
with Burn in Deansgate. It might be half-past 11. I was
.comingout of Mr. Robinson's.; • Burn went'hefore me, and he
was knocked down by a mob. The numb cried out, " That is
the b trumpeter," • •1 went into the' crowd; he was
down, and I went to his assistance, I was struck •at several
times. Presently the prisoner 'came after Burn got up.—
Meagher said, " I suppose it is on My account these men are
knocked down." He seized us both, and cat ried us to the
•The crowd followed' us.
• Cross-examined—l am au Irishman. The last witness is an
Irishman, and the prisoner is an Irishman.
James Booth--I recollect the prisoner came to the Police-
office on Saturday, the 44 o October, about 40 minutes past
.11 ; two men came with !lima. There was a great crowd after
and they right to the Office-doer. I went out and
inquired what they wanted. Some one said, " We want that
thief, the trumpeter." I persuaded • theta all to go quietly
holm., and I dispersed them as well as I could. I told the priso-
ner I.thought his life was in eery great danger. My reason for
saying that, was the eagerness of the crowd. Before that, we
bad been sent for to the Dog,- when I SAW six or seven people
upon the prisoner in the house. This was about half-an-
hour before. It was as much as we could do to rescue him..
One of the men rams alter !inn,' but was caught: at• the Dog
entry, and said, " I will have his life." The prisoner went
off into Deansgate. After all was quiet I went off to the
Office.. The two amen .were'left by the prisoner in the Police
Office, and desired us to take care-of them.

Cross-examined—l found the 'prisoner set upon by people
at the Dog-tavern, and I rescued bins with the assistance of
others. The man who threatened the prisoner's life was not
apprehefuled. We had no power. We could not take the
people who set upon the prisoner at the Dog. I told the pri-
soner that 1.140440 A his'life was in dangei,' but I did not go
home with him. I did, not see Mr. Canterill with the prisoner
at the office. I know Mr. Canterill. '

, Re-examined—l could nut take the people at the Dog,
they were so rough. They were tke roughest set I ever saw.
Examined by Mr. Atkiuson—Some Of those at the Dog be-
longed to a band est-music, with which the prisoner was con-
nected.

Thomas Prinnott, a police-officer—Oa the Saturday night
we were: sent for to the Dug; Booth and 1 went. It WAS then
about al, or a little after. We found the trumpeter there
in the lobby of the tavern; and 7 or 8 around him. We
rushed ill and found him amorg them. We gut him on one
side, and through great persuasion got the men to disperse.
Then the trumpeter went. Presently up jumps a man (I should
know him again), ran down thoentry,aud swore that he would
hare his life. I caught hint in the entry, and took him
back into the house. The men in the tavern .were
all laying hold of him. It was as much as we could do
to get bim away. He was in a state of danger. I cannot re-
collect what was said. The man who said " I'll have his
life" was one of the party. I cannot say positively that he
meant the prisoner's life. The man swore, that if I would
let him go, that he never would touch th 6 trumpeter apin.
I was not in the Police-office when the prisoner brought the
men, but I saw 30 or 40 men neap lv opposite the Police-oltice.
Some said, "'Turn him out; we'll have that d—d thief,
the trumpeter, out." The people were ultimately dispers-
ed, through great persuasion.
John Ball—l live in Southam-street, and ant a carter. I
