" I have another thing to acquaint you with,

is to say, that tie Captain has behaved himself
very much like a Gentleman, which I am sure ha
is; and likewise the Doctor, who is sent flout Go.

ready to grant all our reasonable requests ; and
has done every thing in his power to keep us
clean and comfor;ahle, in which, I ant Very i,appy
io say, he has succeeded and in fact we hare been
treated wore like Free Passengers than Conricts by

EMIGRtTION FROM AMERICA --.-The ship Mag-
net, Captain 1). S. Oonr,,N, of and from New
York, bound to Liverpool, out twenty•two days,
was boarded off Waterford harbour, on Sunday,
by the Caroline pilot-boat. Sie had on board
upwards of one hundred passengers (some ac-
counts say one hundred and eiglity,) the principal
part of whom were persons who went out to
America last spring, in the hope or bettering their
condition, but who have been sadly itisappointed
in their expectations. The Caroline hinted six-
teen of the passengers, who on Monday passed
through this city, on their way to their respective
homes.—They give, we under,tand, a melancholy
account of the distress that prevails at New York
mud the adjacent places, arising from the stagna-
tion of trade and the consequent scare;ty of specie
—and represent the situation of the unfortunate
emigrants front Ihe•e countries to be in general so
deplorable, that thousands of them are prevented
Prow returning, merely from the want of means
to pay for their passage home.—(Waterford
Paper.)
It is said above 50 Carlisle weavers have re.
turned front Philadelphia to England, not being
able to find employment.

Suicine.—An Inquisition was taken yesterday
at the Blue Anchor, in Bast Smithfield, before
JOHN WRIGHT UNWIN, Esq. Coroner, on the
body of Esther Pat sons. It appeared that the
deceased cohabited with a young man of the name
of James Bennett, but some altercation hav-
ing taken place, caused a separation ; she
came at different times to his lodging", entreating
of him to give her admittance, stating that she
had no way of support or place at residence :
he would not hearken to her entreaties, but al-
ways sent her off; she at length & spiCing of
his doing any thing fur her, told him that
she would come and hang herself at his
door. On Monday last he had occasion to
leave home very early in the morning ; on go-
ing out he locked his door, and in the interim
t: e deceased came and asked the landlady if he
(Bennett) was at home. The landlady said he
was not, but he would be in soon to breakfast ;
the deceased said she would go and it out the
stairs at his room door until he cattle in ;
cordingly ►sent up stairs, and the landlady took no
`farther notice of her. Bennett can►,t: soon ,otter,
I and on going up st►►irs, the first thing that pre•
sented itself to him, was the deceased suspend-
ed by a cord from the latch of the door ; she was
inonedia,ely cot down, and Mr. Price, a surgeon,
residing in liateliff Ilighway,was sent for and used
every possible means to restore t►er,, bu: ell to no
purpose. It appearing by the evidence of several
persons that the deceased shewed symptoms of
derangement previous to her committing tl►e act,
the July returned a verdict, that she " hung
herself, being in a state of temporary dt rangement
of mind."

ORO NER'S INQUEST OW JOHN LEES.

OLDHAM,' Orr. . --4sIXTH• DAY).

:(From Tire Illdrithig Chroqicle.)
James Wheriell deposed .astfollow:—l saw John
tees. whom I have kno.wtt 'for many years, at St.
Peter's-field on the 16th of August. It was on
the hustings 1 saw him, alittle after tu-elve
o'clock. 1 did not see him again until the Caval-
ry were among the people. I have net ,been at
the ground since the Mit. I was nearer 'the hale
trues than the houses of Windmill-street.
Coroner—How far from tire htlflinga
Witness--I cannot say
7tlr. Ashworth (angrily)—Answer,
Witness--I do not wish to be crossed, in the
way.
Mr. Harmer (to Mr. Ashworth)—That .mode
of addressing a witness is not the way of getting
at the truth
IVitness—l might be a dozen or fourteen yards
front the hustings.
Mr. Ashworth smiled, and observed,
absurd to be so nice."
Witness—The field was very mticit crowde
We could not move at that tune.. I Sittig no more
of Lees until the Cavalry came—and then f saw
sour,: Cavalry, Special Constables, and a Trum-
peter, the last of whom struck at John Lees
with a sword. Lees pot up his stick to keep off
the bl-w, and a constable with a dark green coat
on struck him with his truncheon. I made my
escape from the field, and fled into a house. We
were driven away by force of-artns by the Cti:-
valry, and one swore " by that lie
would cut me down, which put me in fear of my

" It

Witness underwent a very lung cross-examina-
tion by the Coroner and Mr. Ashworth, in the
course of which the Coroner expressed his sus=
picion of the witness, in what:(speared to me a
very ungenerous manner. -Mr. Ashworth echoed
the Coroner's sentiment.
Mr. Harmer--I beg it it may be taken down,
that both the Coroner and the Barrister express
their suspicion of the witness. I never saw any
thing like it in a Court of Justice.
Mr. Ashworth—There is an insult offered'to
the Court, such as 1 never before saw mani-
fested. 1 know the reason, but I will not say
what it is.

Examined by Mr. Ashworth—Swears he had
his eyes on J. Lees for two minutes before the
blow was struck ; observed no other per-
son but Lees ; did not notice any other ;
knowns the person who struck Lees to be a trum-
peter ; knows him to be a trumpeter, because be
has been a soldier himself ; will not swear to his
facings nor to the colour of his horse.
James Glover, Market-street, Manchester, ta-
vern-keeper, deposed, that he was a Special Cott-
stable on the 16th. [His evidence was objected,
to by Mr. Harmer, because the foregoing wit-
ness had sworn that Lees was struck by Special
Constables ;_ therefore this person might be one
of the Constables implicated. He might be sup-
posed to have come here in vindication of him-
self ]
His evidence, however, was taken. Witness
bore a constable's staff, bearing his Majesty's
arms. Upon further deliberation, this evidence
was refused, and he withdrew.

Hugh Williamson deposed, that he lives in
Oldham•road, Manchester, weaver. Did not
know Lees. %V.►s on the ground on the
near St. Peter's-field, about 20 or 30 }aids fron:
the Church. Was in the waste ground on the side
of Peter's-street,

Alter a variety of questions were put by tiie
Coroner, the evidence of this witness was deemed
inadmissible.

Robert Hall lives at 8, Bond•street, Salford,
talesman in a cotton warehouse. Not a Yeo-
man. Not a constable. Did not know Lees.
Never saw him. Was at 7, Windmill-street, on
the 16th August, from half. past 11 till Mr. Hunt
was taken. Saw him taken. Saw the Manches-
ter Cavalry come to the ground, and Cheshire Ca-
valry, and the 15th Hussars. The ninchester
Cavalry came about a quarter past one. They
came from the street facing Coopet's, to Buxton's
Louse. Dare say he was there near two boors
before they came: The ground wAs covered
with people; he dare say 100,000, when tire ca.
yalry charged. Soon after the cavalry came on
the ground, they formed themselves facing Mr.
l'inxton's house. Did not see or hear any person
addressing the people previous to that time. Saw
several persons likewise improperly upon the
hustings before they were finished. One person
addressed the people, telling them Mr. Hunt was
corning. Heard a cry " make room for the Fe-
male Reformers." Then a party from Deatisgate
cried out that Hunt seas coming, and the band
struck up "See the conquering Hero comes."—
The ground was much crowded before that. Then
cam: a landau, with Mr. Moorhouse, Mr. Hunt,
arid a Lady upon the box, bearing a flag. Mr.
Johnson was there also.—There were, perhaps,
between 2 and 3000 people after and before them.
Lir. Hunt made a small speech. The people gave
the Yeomanry three huzzas, waving their hats,
sticks, &c. The Yeomanry waved their swords,
and, he supposed, by ;he order of the Magistrates,
cleared the field. Saw Meagher arld Capt. Birley
next to hint. Saw Meagher hit one person with
the fiat of his sword. Does not know whether
ire cat him or not. The cavalry surrounded the
hustings, and took the speakers into custody.—
Au Officer said he had a warrant ; cannot say
who it was. After Mr. Hunt was taken, they
begun to disperse the people, not by any violence;
it was with the flat side of their swords ; they
cleared the ground, by asking the people to go
home ; they did no more that I 3 W. Did not see
any stones thrown till after Hunt was taken away.
At the end of Jackson's-row, a pistol was fired at
John Hulme. Mr. Benson, of the Fox, was one
of the Yeomanry. Saw a green flag and gold let-
ters ; thinks it was inscribed " Hunt and Li-
berty." Saw one inscription, " No Borough-
mongers." One of the flags said something was
unjust and tyrannical. One " No Corn Bill ;"
and one " Equal Representation or Death."—
Has taken notes of the various inscriptions upon
the flags ; thought, from the behaviour of several
persons on the hustings, that evil consequences
might ensue ; saw two daggers on a flag, one ot

Awn a rolnoily ilagor. Saw but oneinvin struck
before they got CO the hustings, who would not
go out •orthe- way.' Was.neer enough -a ,nd so si,
Waled, he could hsve seen any *person who
was struck. Saw a man lift up his sadk, as if to
save him,elf; he seemed as it•.stupitiedl law no-
riiing done by the Yeomanry in their advance to
the hu,tings which was not necessary.
What e, as the effect of the cavalry coming rO
the hustings ?
Saw but one man knocked down by the flat slat
of the sword. Saw nothing done but clearing tire
way. The -Cheshire Yeomanry were coming on
the ground when stones were thrown.; the stones
appeated eo be throWn at he Yeomanry. The
stones were thrown alter they had surroinkled the
hustings and taken Hunt. The conduct 'of the
Yeomanry was the Sallie after the storm were
thrown as before. Saw no difference. Sal" the
Hussars come in. They came at ac quick a pace
as the Yeomanry. They came from Cooper's
Cottage. Saw nobody cut till stones were thrown.
SAW tire ground before the .crowd_ assembled ; saw
sticks and stones upon the ground before the
peirple assembled: •After•the crowd was dispersed,
time were sticks left npon•the field. There might
be 100 or 200 sticks of various sizes and thick-
ness. Did not observe the 9tmies.
Cross-examined by Mr. Harmer—Wirness said
be was .a salesman. r Had been out of a situation
twelve months. Has seen Prinnott. Has 'seen
Mr. Harmer in L.ndon. rrinnott, the police of,
ficer, asked him to go and ger a s!ielt, and go
along with him. Has lived with his lather. • Went
with Prinnott and others.
Here an altercation arose betweet) Messrs. Har-
mer and Ashworth respecting SpecialrConstaldes,
and Mr. Ashworth attempted to give a legal de-
finition of the ttrm speCial.
Was•sworn special 'cons able on the woroing
of Wednesday, The house to whit,ll ;le was ad.
m!tted was Mr. Benyon's.
Mr. Harmer—What took you to this house—
were you sent these
Witness—Do you, mean that 1 was a spy ?
Mr. Harm& r—l did- not suggest that you was

II Spy.
Witness went to observe the Aleetioe. Saw
people in large bodies. Many women wer
amongst the bodies of Ihe people. Women con-

4%.ith the Mel; t the c:lvidry came.
Mr. Hunt said, it any person made wriisturbance
put; him down, and ,keen him down People
were not very silent. They were peace-
able as such a collection of persons could
be. Previous to the cavalry coming saw no
riot.. People were not tumnittions. Was look-
ing from the upper -story in front of Mr. Bux-

ton's house, Could see it. There was a row of
constables from the crowd, to Mr.liuxton's house,

100 or 200. Though looking particularly at the
hustings, saw no riot or tumult ; 80,000 or mo►e
persons were upon the field tthen the cavalry
came opposite Mr. Buxton's house. The Yeo-
manry Cavalry were disordered. The people gave
three huzzas. The people cheered when Mr.
Hunt. came. He could not tell the difference be-
tween one cheer and another. Cheered the Ca-
►-alry the same as Mr. Hunt; yet witness said
they gave one from defiance, the other from plea-
sure. Cannot say what number of sticks. Two

hit-mired sticks—not so much. 'Knew to of the
Manchester Yco►naury Cavalry, Mr. Benson of
the i'ox, Mr. Hulme, Mr. Birley,. and Meagher

the.. trumpeter. Saw some Gentlemen at Mi.
Buxton's house, but could not indemnify their
faces. Supposes the cavalry would not act, with-
out the Magistrates' orders. Tlicy flourished

their swords after three buzzas. Ti,e 15th sloped
swords. Some of tire Yeomanry Cat airy bad --.
Before they got to a hody, they might have to
come 40 or 50 yards. The crowd extended to
witl:in a few yatds < f Mr. litixtou's house. The
cavalry tint not halt on their way to the dustings.
Won't swear the trumpeter did trot strike with the
edge of his sword. Won't swear any oilier per-
sons were not cut down in their way to tic hust-
ings. They nrght have been en( (town loom(
icy seeing them. Sri A' several struck wi7b the
flat of the ~.word, but cannot say Icy whom
Did not see bricks thrown till after Mr. Hulme
was taken. People were disper,ing. Gorton tell
how loog the soldiers hart been cutting with their
swords before the brick was thrown. The mass
of the people were not dispersed before the brick
was thrown. Perhaps one-third or one-half of
the people were dispersed._ 'Some of the Yeo-
manry I believe were pursoint; the people when
they were running away. -Did not see any win-
dow broken in Windmill-street. Cannot tell that
the brick was ai likely to strike people as Yeo-
manry. Only saw two women lying down, and
many persons from the pressure. Denies he had
before only said one woman. Supposes ilie peo-
ple pressed to get awby from the horsemen. Saw
people leaping down into the cellars. Did not
see or hear any of the Yeomen threaten to fire upon
people it they-did not come out. Saw Yeomanry
Cavalry and Constables attempt to take persons
into custody upon the field. Saw Hulme fired at
from a window near the wall of tire Quake's' Cha-
pel. Saw the flash, and beard the report. Did not
see from what hand. There were some Yeomanry
Cavalry at the side of the wall. Mr. Holum was
betwixt the dye-house and gates. Did not see
Hulme strike arty one at that time. Not one of
the Yeomanry Cavalry kept his sword upon his
shoulder. Witness was in Watson-street ; believes
it to be the report of a pistol shot, either from the
top or window of the holm in Watsou•street,
corner house ; it wan at four o'clock ; (lid not see
whether from the window or the top of the house;
did not see the hand from whence it came ;cannot
say whetlier it was fired by a special constable ;
thinks the black flag had tor it " Liberty or
Death !" Thought the words horrible, when he
saw Death upon a flag borne before the people ;
has not heatd the song of " (live us Death or
Liberty !" Saw nothing terrible io tie Cap of
Liberty ; has seen Britannia with her staff; saw
t.e.'o daggers, one of which was red ; saw no blood
upon the field ; saw Yeotnamy Cavalry come to
the hustings ; they did trot remain there stationary ;
did see them with their swords at the hustings;
saw them strike with the that aide of their swords
at the hustings,after they had taken Hoot ; cannot
say how marry he saw struck: saw hats, boonets,
caps, shoes, and clogs.
Exainjued by Mr. Abbworth—Withess did not

see svvorili lianclrester Veotuaury used
more frequently, or in a different manner, from
those of the •Cheabite Yeomanry or the 15th
Hussars.

Mrs. Lees., ire trtep.motlrer of tire-deceased, was
called to state tvliether Mr.flarmer was employed
by her or her lorstand.--,-There came some Gentle-
men to our house and asked if we wished the per-
sons to be brought to justice I said, to he sure
we should ; cannot say exactly what more passed.
said I believed he lost his life at Manchester;
had no reason to disbelieve its cannot say 'ex-
•artiv .what more .passed; did not say much
more..-a—(Pointing to Messrs. Harmer ski De-
nison) I think I saw those two Gentlemen.
The account given is the most can say of Whet
passed at that time. Thinks she has seen one
or both since her son was buried. When I said
I wished to have justice for the death of my son,
I did not believe my husband would like to be at
any expente on account of law-suits. They said
" God forbid.' Nothing to do with employing
any body ; told Mr. Mellor that my husband
would not undertake any law S he said it was not
likely should. Does not recollect whether either
of the Gentlemen saw her husband. I said i should
wish the persons to be brought to justice. 'Mr.
Harmer produced a letter, but she did not know
her husband's signature. Does not expect to pay
either of the other Gentlemen any thing for this.
Expects it to be as other Inquests are ; never heard
of ally family having to pay for that.

Mellor, the constable, was then called
and swot-IL—lie did not summon the Coroner's
Jury. his apity did. Lees died on a Tuesday.
Witoe%s was nor at home when the _summonses
were issued to the Jury. He had a conversation
with the step-mother.
air. Harmer objected to this ; it was not evi-
dence.

Coroner—The Lady has already said that she
thought the Ingoest would have Bern conducted
as at 1 it nest.

Air iiarmer-2And so it would. were it not for
unt tuterlerence —(ro the constable) : When did
you vet ve the summonses ?
M-t:01—I did not serve them.
I‘l3-. 41 riner— %Viten did you call upon the wit-
nes,rs which were to be brought forward.?
Mellor--1 did riot call any ; I did not know
that the Inquest was to be held on Wednesday.
Mr. Ashworth—Those questions are put for the
purpose- of impugning your conduct, Mr. Con.
stable.
Mellor-1 believe not, Sir.

Harmer--Certainly not.

Mellor—l am sure they are not, Mr. Harmer.
It would, perhaps, be better if I state all -1 know
about this matter.—[After some objections from
the GirOner and Mr.• Ashworth, witness pro-
ceeded]-1 called on Robert Lees with a list of
the witnesses, and asked him it he bad any_to add
to them ? He said he had not, and seemed per-
feci ly satisfied.
Mr. Ashworth (to Mellor)—Do you feel
yourself in the same situation iu which you were,
or do you feel yourself elevated since you have
been illuminated by those wise Gentlemen front
London, who have cast such a lustre- upon Old-
ham ?—[This was said with a pointed sneer.]
Mellor—No ; I feel jast as I always felt. •
Mr. Ashworth—l thought, that before these
gentlemen from London made their appearance,
the neigbhomhood of Oldham was sufficient to
conduct a business of this nature. Do you not
think so Mr. ?Mellor 3

?ir. Harmer—ls this necessary to the present
inquiry.? ,
Coroner
.(to the Constable)—Do you not think,
from what you have seen of my conduct on for-
mer occasions, that I would of myself have gone
into every necessary inquiry on this occasion ?
Constable--I have no doubt but you would.

[The Coroner thus cAlling the Constable to his
character uxcited a teehng of astonishment in the
Cour .]
Mr. Ashworth—lf it had devolved on you to
collect witnesses, would you have gone to the
toronike-gate, three-quarters of a mile off, in or-
der to ascertain who had pasied that way ?
Constabl,--1 had brizer not answer that ques-
tion. 1 ant not sutheiontly aware of the cult to
decide 'that 0w2,11t to be done.

111 r. Ashworth (to the Constable)—Do you nut
think that the evidence of one-half of the wit-
nesses produced here had nothing to do with the
quest ion ?
Mr. liarmer—" Tahe that down."
Constable-1 cannot answer that question.
Mr. Ashworth—For my part, I should not ob-
.
crude myself upon the Court were I not legally
employed to attend here.—But even now that I
am SO; I am ready to give tip the question—to
retire from the field, arid leave the enquiry to the
C,,roner, if the agency on the other side would
withdraw also—it those strangers who had ob-
truded themselves on the Court would retire, and
pledge themselves not to interfere. The statute
said, th.t you, Sir, were to receive all evidence
inculpating as well as removitq7 the charge from
the accused. I am, Sir, employed by the town of
Manchester on the part of the accused. I ant an
anthoti7ed agent. Ido not come here irregularly
as others do, not mentioning my authority for in-
terfering. You, Sir, have seen my credentials,
and know I have a right to act. It is for you,
then, to B.:certain who are authorized on the
other side—the statute vests that power in you.
The Gentlemen said first, they were authorized
by the relatives of the deceased—then by his n:o•
ther—but all turns out not to be the fact [Mr.
Harmer—lt is not so, Sir], and you have there-
fore the authority to prevent Messrs. Ilarmer and
Denison from acting here without authority. it
is for you to decide whether these Gentlemen are
to constitute themselves the organs of the Court.

Mr. Denison--I can produce a letter from the
lather of the deceased which proves our authority

Coronci—You stye not s‘voru.
Mi. Denison-1 Hin ready to he sworn.

Mr, 1)ellk011—DIC evidence is trout 'AI ~ not

The Coroner refused to have this letter read, as
the Itaod-tvritiog coold not be Inoved.

In answer to an observation from Mr. 1-larmer,,
The Coroner said, you may trca me as ou
please in toy private capacity, but I require of Cott
to state by whom you are employed and paid oa

Mr. Harmer-1 am not to be paid ; but I ACC

Mr. Harmer—She is, as her hoop ‘. 13 bound

Mr, Harmer—l am certainly deterniined to pro*
cure witnesses, and to 5 uggest to you such goes,-
tions as I shall deem necessary to the eltieldal ion
of the troth.

The Coroner observed, that the inquiry Its hi.
!hello conducted was not calculated to facilitate
the end of justice. After a few additional ()bier•
vat ions, the Cut otter determined to call one more
witness.

Mr. Entwistle, attorney—Neither yeoman nor
constable. Did not Know John Lees, nor how
he was hurt. Was at the Field on the 16. at
Angus:, Saw several thousands marching in
procession towards the hnsrings,' near ‘vhert
they were erected. Saw. one • party marching
past the Albion Hotel, from Stockport ; at the
very least four or five. thousand, with flags and
caps of liberty. Went to the Field between,
and 12 o'clock ; there were some thousands there.
Heard that the procession with Mr. Hunt was
ii conning—went down Peter-street, and saw an
open carriage with Moorhouse and several'othert.
Afterwards took my place' near the hustinol"s.
