with great sang froid, observed, " That us

Another Reporter stated, that he had not sent

The Coroner asked the Reporter of " The

Witness resumed-71 Was at the Meeting ebout
ten !Moines before Mr. Hunt came. I eo iced

banners, from Roveou and OnlhaT. I consider
that altogeetter_ 15,000 went trough Alatket•

o'clock. I saw. Mt. Hoot in the carriage, isi.h a

field. I stood near the Quakers' Meeting hone,
I was on the ground about ten mitnurs before Mr.
Hunt came. A tier a few minutes I,e mounted
the hustings, and soon cowl-tie:teed speaking.
I saw a simultaneous movement of the people
near the The Windmill stood
a short distance front the aria. Bootle-s•reet
is between Dickenson-street and the ground.
I stood on a line with Bootie street, and D.ck.
ensou-street behind me. There was no budd-
ing bet were aud the grorrotr. of which,
therefore, 1 had a 'full view. iTitness pointed
not the situation at which he stood on the map ]
The movement of the people appeared to be direct-
ed to Dickenson-street. 1 taw the BSth formed
into line, and supposed the movement on the
Windmill occasioned by the junction or the 88th,
The regiment formed into a sort of CreSCCIIr,
Which prevented me from passing either way. I
could not get away by any exertion. The tegi-
went prevented persons grit iug tither way, and I
was behind them. I could have, however, cot
into Conger-street. A part of the 68111 was near
to Cooper-street„ the 11101eSt about 20 yards.
The place was open from Dickenson-street ,o St.
Peter's Church. 'frier e was no obstruction lower
down in Dickenson-street, to go tnwards (IA

eft by the coroner of Cooper.s,reet at that rush-tut.
I am not quite certain whether gallop or trot, tur
:1 do not know' the difference. I never route a
horse forty miles its ecy lite. The Cavalry came

No ! they arc surnwotted

•in a 'quick .manorr----:.in .very.roick pace: They
proceeded right to Mr. BoatOn's house. I could
net see the end of Buxton's house. Cooper's
,Cottage was between me and that house. About
a minute after they arrived, I heard a shout front
-the multitude, iu front of the Cavalry, and about
a minute afterwards the Cavalry allowed, wavina
their swords itt the air. Presently afterwards I
perceived the Cavalry riding Hmong the•multitude,
and the cloud of dual was immediately -so great,
that I could •not afterwards discern the Cavalry.
3 knew it .to•be the Manchester Yeomanry that,
passed Cooper-street. .1 raw no other-Cavalry go
to 'Buxton's house before the charge. I saw no
other Cavalry going oil the groond before the Man-
chester Yeomanry. lam positive it was the Man-
chester Cavalry that f then saw. I cannot form
Hey idea of the number of the corps, nor how many
troops were there. The whole party came at
etoce. I saw no second party. While the clouds
of (lust prea ented me from seeing the Cavniry,
there was another body of Cavalry formed
before I;,,aton's. I did nOt think (item the
Manchester Cavalry. There was a distinction
in the'r dress. I caw, immediately after, ant-.
tiler body of cavalry, of different dress, form
on the ground the Maachester cavalry had left.
They rode off into the trial,itiole ; and I saw two
field-pieces. These cavalry did not ride so quick
as the former, and they'had two field-pieces with
!bent. The people were at that time 1-tinning in
all directions, and some up :11ouni-street towards
the vacant ground near Brasennose-street. 1 saw
some people, boys, women, and men, run towards
Dickenson-street, at the East of the Quaker's
Chapel ; not where the timber lay. A soldier
came suddenly riding to that corner of Dickenson-
street, and in his inteetuoaity threw •down,his
horse at r';e corner. Tile horse, I think. made
a false s!, p. This soldier was called Thomas
Barnes. I (lid not know him in regintentela. A
person came by at the time he wart unhorsed, and
mentioned his name. Colonel M'Gregor ordered
Iris men,, the 88th, to charge bayonets. Mien
the people were running, Col. M'Gregor gave, this
other. Some persons running by said, that Thomas
Barnes was thrown down. It was about 30 yards
from the place .11,rnes was thrown down. I was
in Dickenson-street near the infantry. The latter
was between me and Barnes. The infantry was
formed in a crescent, and I was behind them.—
(Witness pointed out the place on the tnap.)—
Colonel M'Gregor ordered his men to charge
bayonets in order to protect Barnes, as I under-
stood. There was no person where I stood but
mvs.lf; Colonel Nl•Gregor was nearer to the
man than I was. The people were running near
Barnes.
Mr. Harmer cautioned the witness to under-
stand each quesiion before he answered.
Witness—There was about 40 or 50 running
near Barnes ; but the Street was empty where
Barnes tell. I liereril some kind of exclamation
a.ll‘ll the people, and at that nointeut from' Cul.
Ill'Giegor in order to save Baroes, whom the in-
Ivory immediately surrounded. I did nor go
tient er to Barnes. Directly afterwards the in-
fluor y were formed in the saute position as pre-
vious to a charge. Barnes, I believe, got upon
ltis norae, bur I do not know what became of
hint or his horse afterwards.,—While I remained
behiod they brought by the lnoly of John Ilithne,
a young; Gen:lemao of Mtaadey-street, carried
on a shorter by four persons ; I heard it was
Mr. Hulme. Soon after I saw a coach go on
the ground and it returned its a few minutes with
persona in it whom I beard were injured. The
coach retorned along Cooper-street front the
ground. 1 did not see aay •hing further. I went
with the 88th when it moved off. This tnovement
was bet wix' two and three o'clock. The regiment
passed to their barracks, and as they passed,
Lem! one of the Officers ached whether the enemy
was discomfited ? and the Officer replied, Their
own tawnstnen bad done it. This was said in
Brazennwe-street, where the 31it were formed,
and one of the Officers of that regiment put the
quest ion referred to. The people who passed
through the market-place had some of them
such sticks as are- used generally fur Walk-
ing sticks. One hail a strong stick on his
shoulder, and this was the only one I saw.
connot say that the chief part had sticks, but
many of those I saw had sticks. I saw no person
on the ground with larger sticks than are used in
walking. 1 was never nearer the hustings than
the corner of the Quakers' Meeting-house. The
ground was not crowded up to that ; there were
only a few straggling persons near me on each
side. The body of the Meeting did not extend
to me ; the people appeared to be moving in, and
the space appeared to be increased. The dense
'crowd was about 20 yards front me ; the hustings
were about 80 or 100 yards from me. From
thence I went into Dickenson-street, where I had
barely a view of, the Meeting, the corner of the
Quakers' Meeting-house intervening ; there,
about 200 yards front the hustings, I remained,
until the Meeting dispel sed. CoCMlGregor carne
into Dickenson-street,l think to intercept the flight
of the people! from the field. I did not see any stones •
thrown ; I btlieve they were thrown at the time
Col. M'Gregor ordered the charge ; I believe so,
because I heard some soldiers say so, when they
returned into line. I believed the people who
were running away caught hold and flung what
they could at Serjeant Barnes, who, in his rush
upon them. was unhorsed. The infantry charged
to protect Barnes, but their bayonets were pre-
viously fixed. I mean by charging, their chang•
ing their position to surround and protect Barnes.
I never saw any stones thrown. For the word
charging, I mean the running of time men to sur-
round Barnes, but I may be wrong in the military
term. I saw then no object for the vengeance of
the people but the man who was unhorsed. A
boy running with a parcel of sticks under his arm
was seized, and deprived of them by an Officer of
the 88th ; I did not know the boy, nor do I
know whamt became of him.
Mr. Harmer—l have several respectable per-
sons as witnesses, whom I do not wish to be put
iu charge of a constable.
Coroner-=The order of the constable was the
.coosequeuce of a suggestion from the Jury.
kVituess resumed—l did not see any thing strike
Barnes before he tell. My impression was, tllea
his tall was ow ing to his own impetuosity. I
cannot swear that nothing struck Barnes. I did

not more from 'behind the soldiery,
myself safe there, and filing that danger stir-
rOutrded him. I did not understand that he was
hurt, either than or after. I have seen Barnes
frequently since, but not immediately after. There
were several other Yeomanly followed Barnes ;
one following a lad in a fustieu jAcket, who had, as
oe said, knocked one of their men off his horse.
Four other soldiers met the man in a fustian jac-
ket, but how lie was disposed of I cannot tell, as
I lost sight of him. I cannot say that these four
soldiers were Yeorhen. They proceeded to •
wards Mount-street Chapel. The man in a fus-
tian :jacket appeared in custody. Ten minutes
elapsed after -Barnes was unhorsed when this man
passed in custody. I heard no Riot Act read nor
mentioned, nor any notice to the crowd to dis-
prise. 1 beard no person on ftsot or horseback
t}irect the crowd to disperse. A thing or the kind
might have happened in a crowd without my no-
ttciug it. I saw no one °Het iug the people to
dif.perse, nor speaking to them at all, but Mr.
limit.. I did riot see any one going into the crowd
lloue before the Yeomanry chat ged. Alter the
Yeomen charged, I saw a man on a pyebaltt horse,
in light coloured ckthes, but I 8 +VV 110 one WhAt-
tVer tide into the .crrsved hetote the cavalry shout-
ed, and they charged immediately afterwards. I
saw the min on the pycbald horse riding itt before
the cavalry heist; a few yards before them.
Mr. Harmer observed, that the practice was for every wit-
necs to sign his testimony before he It tt the room.
Coroner—l.:eery witness shall be called to sign his testi-
mony b,tme the Inquest concludes.
llariner—What! must the witnesses all come again ?
Why nut bare each sign at once? That is the practice else-
where.

Coroner—l must question the witness, as he prevaricates.
Witness Inotested a'ge.inst this charge, and appealed to the
Jury whet Ler that charge was jtost.tiathe.
Coroner—Sit down and awswer its glit,tll/115.
WO nes; resumed—The ruau woo weat into the crowd, and
to whom I alnide,,wure t white dress, and oil 4 pyebald
horse. Ile had neither bout: our paper i r his natal, but ap-
peared to carry a %woad He tea, Miry about twelve yards
before the Yeomanry, proceediog :tt • very quick pace.
Examined by Mr. Fla.mer—The si lotto). which the iStis
took did not oltstroct any outlet for the people. The people
could get op Dickenson-street, after getting on a line with
lount-street. But they were prevented !rum going along
Moont-street into Cooper-street. Several people attempted
' to pass that way, but were prevented by the 83th. They
might get by another aventre into Cooper-street. The people
were ruanitig in such bodies, that the} were looking fur every
outlet, and I saw the soldiers preveot any passage where they
were. The soldiers would not allow any one to go behind
tkemselves. I heard the cavalry make a shout, a tremendous
noise, and flourishing their swords. It was an huzza the
sokhers made. Immediately after they rushed into the
crowd. I saw no Magistrate go among the crowd, or
apptuach them to call silence, nor did I hear any one pro-
claim slieure.—CCoroner interrupted.]
Mr. Harmer—l ant putting the questions inNite very words
of the Act.
Witness—l did not see any people assembled in a riotous or
umultutois nrauuer, nor did they become so, or thew any dis-
position to become so. I saw no constable, nor did 1 know
that any were on the ground. My situation was about one
hundred yards from the house where I understood the Ma-
gi trates were. I did not know then where they were, hut
have sines learned, and there were numbers of people near
that house. I saw no stones flung, but from the manlier the
soldiers acted, I conjectured -that there were stones or brick-
bats thrown. I mean Ity soldiers, the with.
At this moment Mr. Ashworth, the Barrister, and Mr.
Cook, the Attorney, entered the Court, and took their station
at the same table with the Coroner, near the Jury... Messrs.
Harmer and Denison's situation is outside the barvand has
been so from the outset.

Wit Less said the people appeared enraged at Barnes, be-'
cause he pi evented the people (ruin escaping.
Mr. Ashworth addressed the Court, iii order to make an •
obs•rration with a view to hasten the Inquest. •
sl r. Harmer protested against the interruption of the
witness.
Mr. Ashworth—l address you, Mr. Cormier. I,will not
eni4a;e in controversy wi►h ally individual. Yuu are alone
the Judge of this Court.
Coroner• said that it was better mot to interrupt the witness:
and e.hen his examination was -clused, Mr. Ashworth might
address him.

.......
Witnesk re-asserted, that the reason the people were en-
raged against Barnes was, that he had been ioterrupting the
people in their passage trout Boutle-street to Cooper-street.
Ido not know that any people had passed Barnes. •
Mr. Ashworth said, 1 ant here for the town of Manchester,
and I request to hear tbe:evidenee read.
Mr. Harmer—Whoever are your constituents, I venture to
say, that I can find numbers of gentlemen who hace.nothiog
to do with yotr.
Coroner—l did not ask you, Mr. Harmer, by whom you
were appointed, I have good authority to say, that you are
not appointed by the parcats of the deceased. But why in-
terrupt a banister who attends ?
Mr. Hariner—l say that the parents of the deceased did
require nay attendance before the Inquest corameoced. •
Ashworth—l do nut attend for any party, but to elicit
truth., seed to guard against the publication isf garbled, im-
perfect, or contrived statements, for the purpose of producing
a particular effect on-ihe public mind. You me aware
that, as Coroner, it.,,ia.your bounden duty to hear esi-
dence in vindication ae well as in accusation. It appears
to me, that unlcss such evidence appears against any in-
dividual in the opinion of the Jury, this case should not
go on as it does. UlllOl some such, else is made unt, it is
a waste of your time; And of that of the Court, to continue
this inmAigation, the public to lint being kept in a state of
ferment. I think, therefore, that unless there is some charge
against some individual or individuals, you cannot go into
any inquiry into the legality or illcgality of the Meeting. It
is only for you to say whether there is any charge of murder
against some individuals, to call for the investigation of those
facts of the Meeting. If it appear that malice prepense was
attributable to sonic individual, then inquiry is applicable as
to the character of the Meeting. I say, then, that some charge
should be made out before you determine to protract this in-
quiry to such an indefinite period as is at present in coutem-
plation. Therefore I say, unless a charge be preferred against -
some individual or individuals who can be identified as hay-
ing attacked the deceased, and that such attack was the
cause of his death, this inquiry cannot he prosecuted. I say, •
that there has not been any specific evidence that any one
gave a w•und which was the cause of the death of Lees. It
can he shewn that there were other causes besides his wound
for the death of Lees. Ido not want to irritate—l du nut de-
sire to excite ferment, or to eater into personal contest.
There may he an uoject in this elude of investigation ; hut I

. . ,
say, it should not be sought through you. 'There is another
mode—let it be looked to. We have all an interest to allay
the ferment that prevails—to put an end to dissentious must
be the desire of all good men; and therefore I trust that yeu

- •
will not alloy.• yourself to become iststruiniffital to those who

semi: to keep alive such dissentions.—Are you aware that iu
consequence of your toleration of critain persons here, and

deeidiirg it be an open Court—
Coroacr-1 have not so decided.
Mr. Ashworth-1 beg pardon, Sir; 1 do not mean offen-
sive laoguage. 1 admit it is a public Court; but only to
those who are likeiy to give 'evidence. But this Court is
under your controul as much as that of the Judges at Derby,
-where the decision was to be final.. Yet the Judges
there said—" We will deem it a contempt of Court, if any
publication take place until the trials terminate." Thesu
reasons were just; but. your order here was founded on still
stronger reasons ; because persons, who here may be ac-
cused, may be prejudged and prejudiceil by the publication
of exparle statements; fur surely, the case of the accused
should not be brought before the public, clothed with

the asperities arising from rx-parte publication. Yet will you
believe, Sir, that although it must be luog before any evidrner
in justification of those to whom blame is imputed can be
brought forward, the evidence for the accusation is already
before the public. Every intelligent and fair man toast de-
precate such a course as must injure the cause of just cc;
for we know the structure of the human mind, and the Man- '
enca of rust impressions upon it, especially upon such winds;
therefore, upon you, as you are competent, to order
that no publication of any part of the evidence shall take place
until the whole shall hare been adduced. If your order be
broken, let it be so, but allow me to request, in the exei else
of your discretion, that you will issue the order. If their be
no legtsl theaus of. enforciur, your order, let any gentle-
man, or any enliehtened man, ash;hiuisell whether such a
publication as I deprecate, be in tiny degree fair? !say, Ihrt
by various Arts, tied csinciuliy bI the vbstil

Niar7, you are authorised putt ilowo all Oa cridcnse on
',nth sales. Therefore, your- litiriog full power, it is your
duty to take care that those powers shall lint he the engine of
injustice. But I hope you will make the order to which
refer. I address you in in'aur to save time—and Itall upon
you to declare that, until a chargt lie made out against sonic
particular ntilividoals, anv inritlit'y into the character of the
Meeting of the I tith of August is irrelevant; but if any
such charge be made out, a full ineestigation of that
Meeting would be quite correct. I know tint who are re-
taitied for the 'Crown. I am here 'On the part of those-
against whom it is understood that accusations are to be
preferred. 1-have as mach right to appear here as in any
other Court. LI do not appear here under the strelter of aw
authority, which would afterwards disown nre. Ido not
skulk like an fancies. I bring 7ou an authority, and if
any One elae Isms a proper authority, he has as mach right to
be here as you but I maintain, that nu one, without any
authority, I•mean no personality, has a 'right to address you.
I come here to facilitate justice. 'Yon are competent, if you
think proper, to prevent the investigation from extending
• thus, perhaps for months, if mit ad infinitum, a gentleman
• declaring that he had seventy wit itesses to examine. Perhaps
these seventy may become 700, and thus your time, so Tato-
able to the public, may be oceapied to an indefinite extent.
But you are competent to say to any gentleman that he must
chew that he can lay some evidence before you against
sonic individual or individuals, to fix some stain of the
crime upon him or them, or lie should riot be Allowed to pro- ,
ceed. Consider, Sir, how much the country is agitated upon
the subject, and how many persons in this ntoghbourlicod '
Are withdrawn from their proper business to attend to the
proceedings of the Court. Therefore, in every point of view,
it ltellores you to decide against the way in which this inquiry
has gone on, and has been planned to go on, instead of putting
some charge in a tangible shape. Let it be shewn first, that
the deceased received a wound that was the cause of his deat h.
You have had the evidence of a surgeon, that the wound upon
the el how of John Lees was Lot the cause of his death.
The Coroner said that a comment upon evidence Was inad-
'
Mr. Ashworth. I beg pardon. I only require that some
ev'denee should be adduced of the nature I have described,
anti that a loose and indefinite investigation should nut be
allowed to go on.
Mr. Harmer—l rise with great deference and dfNence to
answer the eloquent speech of the Lent-tied Geutleman, who
first told you he was employed by the town of :11..incliester, Unit
afterwards by the party, who, it was understood, were impli-
cated in the alleged offence. Will the Gentleman write down
What he states as law? 'lle Geotleman rapt essed his desire for
a full investigation ; and yet his object is evidently to stop the
ill vast igatioo. Neither you nor I know W lin and how many may
be impugned by the evidence. I can undertake to say, that se-
veral persons will be charged by name with being concerned
in the murder of John Lees; fur I hold that every one its the
corps by which Lees was wounded,was as guilty as the inan
who actoullv struck the blow. Mr. A. has spoken of the
time •f the Jury, but I am sure that Gentleman would
deem no time ruispent imptiring into the cause of those
atrocious deeds. He also spoke of your. time ; but I tin-
darstatal that you yourself once held art Inquest that lasted
five weeks. Can that, or any other case you ever heard
of, be as important as the present ? The Gentleman stated,
that he had a right to produce evidence in deli nee of the
accused. I admit that; but I undertake to prove that the
Manchester Yeomanry, by a wanton attach upon the people,
were the cause of the death of John Lees and several others.
I maintain that every our present aiding and abetting in that
attack, which terminated in murder, vvcre alike guilty.
Coronet—ln consequence of the appeal of Ashworth. I
must say, without animadverting upon the evidence generally,
that no identity has been proved—all the evidence applyiiig
to the character and conduct of the Meeting. But we hal',
no evidence tcashew the persons who made the attack upon
Juba Lees.

Jr. Harmer—l have shewn that his death took place im-
mediately after the attack of the Yeomanry; and I will ideo-
lily many of these cavalry with several persons who were pre-
sent aiding and abetting.
The Coroner stattd the order he had issued on the first day
of the Inquest, to prevent note-taking, and as that order has
been violated, he said, I would' prevent note-taking •if I
thought myself competent.
Mr. Ashworth—l pledge myself, that you arc so competent,
after a consultation with two or three of the first lawyers in
the country.
• Mr. Coroner—l recollect that Mr said he was
employed by The Timrs.—l sent the notes I cumpally with
your injunction; I sent the notes as I did front duty; but
leaving it to their discretion to publish. But after what has
taken place to-day, if you will allow me to take 'nutes".l
shall not at ad toy notes to the office until the Inquest 4)1411
have terminated.—The Chief Barony at Derby, said only that
it would be better nut to send the notes to London.
Dot all idiots.
Coroner—Had you not time taringli to prepare your notes
for the press, as you could have so much matter pubiished
within It hours?
Mr. Ashworth repeated his opinion, that it was competent
to you to prevent notes.
Coroner—l- further understand (to The Titer' Reporter)
that your notes were sent by express.
Reporter—lt was nut so, as the notes were sent by the Li-
verpool mail front Knutsford.
coroner—(to The Tivaes Reporter)—Yon were culpable in
sending your notes with such haste; I wilt prevent you or
any one from your paper from note-taking.
Reporter—l will pledge myself not to send the notes in
future-. ",

Corvner,—l cannot believe your pledge.
Mr. Ashworth called for an extension of the irtittnctign,
not to publish until after a farther trial, if any such arose
out of the Inquest.
Coroner—l have issued that order already. Now, as to the
other parts. of the Learned Gentls:titan's address,. I will call
for evidence inanediately conceruini; the death of John Lees,
and to point out or identify those who are accused of inSiet-
ing the wound upon Lees.
Harmer—Several persons base been already identified in
evidence.
Coroner expressed a desire that Mr. Harmer should say by
what authority he was sent bare, as that question had been
put to Mr. Ashworth.

Harmer—! was desited by the mother to attend at the time
the Jury saw the body. Now, AIIOW fine to ask again, by
whom Mr. Ashworth was called upon to attend?
Mr. Ashworth made no reply ; bnt the Coroner produced a
letter from Jonathan Andrew, a constable of Manchester,
requesting Mr. Ashworth to attend.
The Coroner here ordered the Reporter of .The Time: to
cease note-taking.'
Reporter asked for a written order.—Coroner refused.

Reporter-1f you commit tuc, that would be proof of your
order.
Coroner—l restrain you, Sir.
