" There is no •uutla in its
show the lotter—produce the letter.")
Mr. THOMPSON said, it the Lord Mayor did not
produce hi' plot, he did not see chat it was neces-
sary for Mr. Hunt to produce his letter.
Mr. HUNT resuMed. Although I have been so
recently released Irons a dungeon, I thought it
my duty to stand op, nut for my man rights, but
for yools, nod that without consnhin,g any body
as to what the eousequences were likely to be. I
therefore put my nightcap in my pocket—(here he
produced a nightcap, amidst the laughter of the
Hall),—with the resolution that no one of my
fellow-citizens should be arrested, without my
placing myself instantly in the same situation.
The threats of the Lord Mayor have all vanish-
ed in smoke, amidst almost universal execration.
I thal:k you for the honour you have done me.
I have always here conscientiously endeavoured to
do try ditty. Oil the present occasion I have re-
ceived the approbation of my fellow countrymen.
feel conscious of the rectitude of my intentions,
nod am perfectly satisfied with my owu conduct.
It has been said, that the Manchester people, far
from offending, were forbearing to a fault; but I
will ask in what situation would the people of
Manchester have ben placed iu this day if they
had been prepared to resist ?—(Cries of " Turo
him out,"---" you're the cause of all.") One
peon says shut I am the cause of all—with all
my heart, notwithstanding some lives were lost.
In a struggle of this nature, we had no right to
think that we could regain our liberties without
the loss of-some lives. I placed no one of the
people in a situation in which I did not place my-
self. I pushed none of them forward kvi; loon b..-
ing ready to go with them. You have expressed
au opinion on the conduct of the Magistrates of
Manchester, and on that of those whim were their

agents ; I «•ill now !et:ice to von one trestt Euro-

city, which came to my 'knowledge but last night.
A person of the name of Hall, who, with his son,
worked in a factory at Manchester, went with
the youth to the Meeting ; the f.stber was cut
down with a cut across the skull, and its conse-
quence he was carried to the Infirmary, where he
remained many days. His son was discharged
front the factory where he had worked under his
father ; but such were their feelings, that they
clubbed their pence together, and rmised among
them the sum of Ss. 6d. with which they desired

him to walk to London to find Mr. Iloont. lle

came last night, his affidavit is prepared, and you
will probably see it in some of theipublie papers
to-morrow. I will now state one more fact. A
father having lost his son, at about the time of
the Meeting, inquired for him at the Infirmary,
but was told that there was no such person there.
He inquired again on the next day, being in-
formed by several persons that they had seen such
a lad cartikd into the hospital. He was again de-
nied, hut the frantic father demanded admission,
forced hit way in, and was at length permitted to
search the whole of the beds. It turned out to
be trite that his son was not there ; but just as he
was coming out, happening to look behind the
door, he exclaimed, "Though toy son is not here,
yet I will swear that these are my son's coat,
waistcoat, and breeches."
Mr. 13ISTEAD returned thanks.
Mr. IIuNT rose to move the concluding Reso-
lution. Doing this, he thought it right tO say,
that the Common Setjeant had been the greatest
violator of the public peace that day. in his en-
deavours to put down troth until justice, he had
threatened Mr. Waithinatt that he should have a
hearing in the Court of King's Benc►t, where he
would not be allowed to say a word. Now though
the Common Sarjeaot was a Judge in the City,
he was nothing more than a junior Counsel in the
Court of King's Bench. lie moved that the Re-
solutions should be iuserted in the usual Morning
and Evening Papers.
Before this motion was carried, it was moved
that the thanks of the Meeting should be given to
Messrs. Harmer, Pearson, and Dennison.—The
motion being carried.
Mr. PEAHEON returned thanks ; in (Wog which
he enlarged on the horrors of the scenes be had
witnessed at Mancheste►, and expressed his hope
that those concerned in them would be brought to
justice. The Common Council held the purse of
the City. In former years they had given two

thousand pounds to a Fund raised for Our brave
Soldiers who had been wounded in foreign parts ;
10001. (or the Russian sufferers, and 10001. (or
the Portuguese sufferers had been voted ; and in
one instance there waa a grant of 2001. towards
building an Episcopal Chapel in Canada. Oo this
occasion he hoped something would be given in
aid of the Manchester subscription. Ile was
disposed to move that a Petition should be pre.
sented to the Court of Common Council, praying
them to make a grant for that porpoae.
Mr. Hu NT moved the Resolution which the

fast SpeAker had suggested, an►i it was carried.
Ou the motion of Air. HUNT, it Was then or-
dered that the Resolutions should be inserted in

the usual Morning and Evening Papers.
Alr. STEVENS again came forward. The Li-
very had performed one important duty, but
there remlined another still more important,
in the performance of which they were now
about to proceed, namely, the election of a
Lord Mayor :or the year ensuing. It ap-
peared that the Livery had not the abso-
lute power of appointing a Lord Mayor, but only
of returning tN%o to the Court of Aldermen, who
would choose one of them to till the Civic. Chair.
Ile therefore hoped the Livery would br4r
this in mind, and return Aldermen kVood
and Thorp, and thereby secure the election of
one of them, for svithout this was done, all

their exertions would prove abortive. liy this
means the t.ystein of rotation would he done
kv y with, and he wool(' now more that it
svai nrcesiarily detrimental to (be principle
of free election, to cotoinue to elect the ni.:xt
Alderman in rntntion. Ile should tell them that
