" Ant, Fildes. the wife of Charles Fildes, of 'Manchester,
upon her oath. salt h,that having errand to go near St. Peter's
Church, on Monday, the ltilh of August, she took her child,
an infant of two years old, in her arms, Several of her
neighbours were with her at the time; it was, as near as
she can recollect, half past one—that seeing the immense
number of people assembled at the meeting on St. Peter's-
field, and the militiay, examinant and her neighbours re-
turned towards their own houses, in Kennedy-street; that
on smiting hack, along Cooper street, she 51W the Manches-
ter Yeomanry Cavalry coining cp. Examinant, after seeing
the whole pass, as she thought, crossed the street from the
house occupied by Dr. lianas to Mr. hater's, and when in
I lie act of Si), one of the Yeomanry, who, being behind
the rr.t, was coming tip the street at a gallop, came against
Iler, she was thrown down, and her infatit full front her arms
to a distance of about two yards and a halt, and afterwards
died from the effect. Examinant catl state nothing farther,
AS she was stunned by the tall. She has tern applied to I.y
person some time ago, to whom she !ifs related the saute
circumstances. " FILDES."
This statement of the poor woman was fully
confirmed by the testimony of a Gentleman of!
1r eat respectability (sworn to the facts), who saw
the whole scene as she deribe ,doss picked
up the woman and child when knd ocked nhy
the horse, the consequence of her crossing at the
moment when, as he states in his affidavit, it was
impossible for the rider to draw up in time to pre-
vent riding against the woman.
It has been shewn that the missing John Not toll,
a weaver front Tottinginn, the vott!trf, tn.", " of
sober habits stid good charaCter," alts,, It iii letE
home on the Ifith al August anti had not sine'e het n
heard of, ,stole eight pounds of iohacco on the 14'1i
of August, was taken in the fact, hats ple..tic(l
guilty at the Sessions, and was
was well known to his family) in the New
Ear-
ley prison.
Butt of all the cases, none seetntl so pregnant
with atrocity as that of Joel Brown, a young
man who has been d, scribed cut and inano( d
on the 16:b of August, was taken to the hi-
firmat y, where he soon after died, THoUGn HIS
DPATH WAS coNcrtALF,o, and whose father was
said to have been inhumanly obstructed in satis-
fying himself as to the fate of his son. What is
the truth of this story Head the tollowingalli-
davit of the falter, on the 3ti ot November last
Joseph Brown, of Little Moss, near Ashton-under-Line,
farnu'r and weaver, occupying his own estate, upon hi. oath,
saint, that Olt Sunday, Ike 15th of August last, heariog that
his son, Joel Brown, intended logo to the meeting of the Re-
formers, in Jlitriehester, on the followiog day, deponent for-
bad his aoiug, and told him if hr did, he should not ever he
allowed to come into his, deponent's, hous,..+ airy more:--•i hat,
maivithstanding what deponent said to his son, he, his coo,
got up the following 'Doming (the iGth) early, paelied up his
clothes, and went oil, at the time telling his younger
James, that he would strike up a light and go to 110n,,n ;
that deponent has not since semi tutu or heard et him; and
deponent believes, that he is concealed somewhere by the Re-
formers, in cousequence of the great noise Mr. Hunt made at
Bolton, and at the Crown and Anchor, about his son having
been set y ill used at the I'llll.ll.mi y in Mauchester, and .shoat
depomon having been trft:sed seem; him, and of depooetit
having seen his clothes hung tip in one of the wards, :old be-
ing obstructed in se:aching; through the wards of the NG,-
nary. the whole of which is false, deponent having had every
possible attention paid to him At the !oh-nutty, oral been per-
mitted to go through every place, and search soy ward there
he liked ; that deponent lodieves his son is secreted either IM ,
Bolton or Stocliport, for fear of the falsehood of Mr. ghat
being detected. " JOSEPH BROWN."
This case, however, does not rest 111,011 the
niou of the fattier ; for the son himself, he who
was stated to have been so cruelly cot and mangltd
and to pare died, and to have been secretly buried,
made the following affidavits on the I th day of
November last :
" Joel Brown, son of Joseph Brown, of Little Moss, firmer,
upon Isis oath, saith, that he is 19 years of age, that though
he left his father's house early in the morning of Monday,-
the pith of August, he did not go to the meeting of the Re-
formers WI that day lit Manchester; but went straight horn
Little Moss to Stockport, where he has remained until this
morning, and has emplova himself in weaving tinder Patrick
Spears, on Lancashire Ilia ; that he has several times sent
word to his father where he was, by his master Patrick Spears,
and by one James Pearson ; but he believes they would not
tell his father, as they are great Reformers, and wished bin.,
examinant, not to tell his father where he was, for fear
he
would 111;11:e tutu go hume ; that he never received a hint of
any sort in his lite, nor was he ever in the :Manchester In-
firmary ; and that it any hotly has said be was either at the
meeting in Manchester on the lOth of Angu,t, or ever hurt,
or ever in the Infirmary, it is altogether
JOEL BROWN."
" Deponent further saith, that his master ft equently t;111;etl
of public meetings, and that when the day came they must all
go or die. He told his master white he came frets, hot his
master said it was 'lot so well to tell any body where lie came
from. Ilis roaster got him to subscribe to f/ic Waver/ e Pa-
per about a month. " JOEL BROWN."

WEstrmut4s-rett SCHOOL.--The second rehearsal
of the Adelphi, by the King's Scholars, took
place last evening. The representation of ttie
lust nigh: 'teas 50 perfect, it seemed to leave
no roam fur improvement. Last night, how-
ever, the young Gentlemen who fill:A the
several characters displayed nets' claims to
superior excellence, an advantnge probably de-
rived from familiarity with the scene. The tiro-
logue to the piece, which was athnirabiy deliver-
ed, alluded, with great feeling to the causes
which tad interrupted the performance in the test
two years, viz. the deaths at the Priticuss Cti,sa-
LoTTFI in 1817, and her MAJESTY it)
it being the usage of lVestminster School, that no
play Should be given in the year of a Roy t 1
death. These expressions of ;egret were fol-
lowed by a just and well-turned compliment to
his Royal Highness Prince Lt.to-PoLD of SAX.:-
0013URG.—The Epilogue, among other still:-
int!. features of the present times, dwelt upon
the extriiordinasy diligence and resources o!

information. Ihe roots WhS crowded to excess
with a splendid circle, including Prince LkoroLo
of SAXE-CoItURG, accompanied by the Bishop o!
