master's works on the 10th of August, took hold of
him by the collar, and said, " Come out, you d—d
linobstick."
John Mabery, one of the police, stated that he had
gone to the house of the prisoner to apprehend him.
lie found a hat in the house in which was the pri-
soner's name, and in it some papers, which he pro-
dneed. One of the papers was a copy of resolutions,
and another was the placard, printed by Turner,
headed " The Executive Committee of the National
Charter."
Mr. Maude ordered the depositions to be taken
against the prisoner, and said he should send the case.
to the assizes.
On the application of Mr. Cobbett, however, the
Bench intimated that they would admit the prisoner
to bail, himself in 1001- and two sureties in 501. each.
Forty-eight hours' notice to be given of the bail.
GLOSSOP, THURSDAY.
The turn-out in this hitherto peaceable vale is not
yet at an end. Most of the mills are still idle. A
party of the 65th took up their quarters yesterday,
some in Howard-town, Glossop, and others in the im-
mediate neighbourhood of Brookfield, the mill belong-
ing to Mr. Shepley, which was lately attacked, and
in defence of which that gentleman fired on
the mob. The inhabitants who form the discon-
tents, in the neighbourhood of Glossop and Brook-
field, appear to entertain a very great hatred to-
wards Mr. Shepley, and expressions of the most
horrid nature are frequently uttered against him.
His property is still guarded by the military, and
their presence alone is the security for his life and
property. His mill is, however, at work, he having
opened it at the earnest request of his workpeople,
who are perfectly satisfied with their situation and
the wages paid them. As the military passed along
the railway yesterday from Manchester they were re-
ceived by the hootings and jeers of large crowds, col-
lected on the various bridges in the neighbourhood of
Ashton, Fairfield, Staleybridge, &c. The shouts of
the people were, however, received with great good
humour, and it is to be hoped nothing will occur to
mar the good feeling which appears to exist amongst
the military towards the former.
COMMITTAL FOR ATTEMPT TO MURDER.-It will
be in the recollection of our readers that Mr. Cooper,
an extensive manufacturer in the neighbourhood of
Glossop, had his hands ttvned out, and factory
stopped about three weeks ago, and that on the 24th
ult. lie and two of his sons gave evidence before the
Magistrates against several of the rioters, who were
in consequence committed to Derby gaol for trial.
On their way home, Mr. Cooper and his friends, and
two of his sons, were attacked by a furious mob, se-
verely beaten, and one of Mr. Cooper's sons left in a
field in a state of insensibility.
Connected with this attack a person named Howard,
a boy eighteen years old, has been committed by the
Magistrates to Derby gaol, to take his trial for wound-
ing, with intent to murder, Joseph Cooper, jun. The
facts of the case will be collected from the evidence of
the following witnesses :
• Joseph Cooper, jun., said he was a witness before
the Magistrates on the 24th of August, against Jos.
Lawton and others. Witness, his father, uncle, and
brother, accompanied the prisoners, who were guarded
by the soldiers, to the Norfolk Arms. They were
hooted and hissed all the way by the crowd. When
they had turned round the corner of the street, the
mother of Joseph Lawton and the wife of another
prisoner called out something, on which the mob
ran at them. The two women headed the mob, and
one of them came up behind witness and said he
would never die in his bed for what he had done to
her son. She then struck him a severe blow on the
back of the head, and the mob began to throw stones.
Witness and his party were obliged to run, but they
were followed by the mob and all hit with stones.
When he got near a stile in Mr. Howard's field he
saw the, prisoner, who was throwing lumps of clay at
witness; and on his reaching near a wall the pri-
soner took a large stone from the wall and threw it
with such violence that it made a hole through his
hat and knocked him down. Witness had no doubt
the prisoner was the person who threw the stone.
—[The hat was here produced and had a hole in it,
which had evidently been done with violence, and
was large enough to admit a man's fist.] The rest of
the mob then came up and began to kick witness very
violently. He got up, and attempted to defend him-
self with a stick he had in his hand, but was again
knocked down, and kicked very much about the body
and legs. Shortly afterwards, two persons came up
to where witness was lying on the ground, and one of
them took hold of him by the hands, and then re
marked to the other, "He's dead, by —." Witness
then lost all recollection for some time. On his re-

cover.), he was carried to his father-in-law's house, and
from thence home. He was confined to his bed for a
week from the effects of the wounds. He was very
much beaten about the head, back, and loins.
It was evident from the appearance of the witness
that he had been much bruised, and on his face, over
the left eye, there was still to be observed a large
wound, and another on the back of the head.

The prisoner, after being cautioned by the Magis-
trates not to criminate himself, was asked if he wished
to put any questions to the witness. He merely re-
marked that he was not present when the attack was
made on the witness.

Mr. Joseph Cooper, sen.. corroborated the evidence
of his son respecting the attack of the mob on them.
Joseph Cooper, son of the last named witness, fully
corroborated the testimony of his father and brother.
The mother and father of the prisoner here stepped
forward, and wished to be examined in his behalf, on
which they were sworn, and cautioned by the Magis-
trates. The mother entered into a statement to show
that he was not present at the attack on Mr. Cooper,
and the father said he was not at home at the time,
and therefore did not know where his son was.
The Magistrates then informed him that he stood
committed to take his trial for the offence at the next
Derby assizes ; bail was refused, and the prisoner re
moved.

PRESIDING AT ILLEGAL MEETINGS.—A respect-
able looking man, named James Igoe, was brought
before the bench on several charges of conspiracy, at-
tending illegal meetings, &c., at Glossop, for the pur-
pose of preventing the hands of various factories from
returning to their work. He was committed for trial,
but admitted to bail, himself in 1001., and two sure-
ties in 501. each.
