PUBLISHING THE THIALS OF THISTLEWOOD AND

INGS.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose at the conclusion or the
,reading of the indictment, and, addrrssing the Cow t, ;poke
as follows:—" My Lords, I think it my duty to bring before
lour Lordships a circumstance which has occurred since our
last meeting under thitt Comini!sbtn. It is, I am sure, within
Your Lordship!' recollection, that before these trials cow-
lltteueed the Court desired that nothing which occurred,
tither in part or in the whole of any one trial, should
be published, until the whole of the tria's were t:ruainatea.
' The Court stated ins the reason of this prohibition,-that
it was intended to prevent any thing gain;; forth which
alight have a tendency to prejudice any of the parties on
• trial, or any person liable to be called on their Jury, in a case
-• 'where men were on trial for their lives. With that:injunc-
tion I think it right to state the whole of the daily press,
fray say, must properly complied. But yesterday, in a paper
called The Observer, which I hold in my liand, the whole of
the Trial of Arthur Thistlewood is published, and a short ac-
count of the Trial that followed of fogs. This has been done
'too by the publisher with a full knowledge of your Lordships'
prohibitory injunction, for he actually publishe's i it fell
from the Cuurt un that occasith) in the very.paper in which
lie has violated your Lordships' order. It is not my inter:-
tun to interrupt the proceedings of the.trials.at the present
tiactalvut by -submitting. any motion on this must darihg and

contemi•t of the ottkr af this Court ; bat, m}' Lort'•s,
I Mink I owe it to the dignify of this Court, as welt as to the

situation wliich 1 L,ld, not to suffer the. publication ,if these
proceedings to past unnoticed. ,Indoubtedly, some proceed-
ing will be'taken, why:: the :ocans are furnished for bringing

the matter forwarii iu a proper shape, and when the mode of
proce:eding. shall be cletermiiit-d upon."

Neither of the Judges made any remark on what fell from
the Attorney-General. The latter, as soon as he made his
observations, .replaced The Wlservcr Newspaper, which he
held in his hand, in his bag with other papers.

Mr. BoLLAND sliortly,operied the indictment against the

prisoner.

The _tT/01INEY-GCNEIIAL then stated the case with his
wonted dearness, going over the whole of the facts detailed
in the evidence in the former trial.

Brunt entreated permission to bare-the occasional indtil_
gence of a cliair, which the Court granted without hesitation.
The.ATTWINEY-(il:NtlltAL rose, about half-pat. 10, and ad-
dreissed the Jury till a quarter before 19. The speech consisted
of a request that the Jurors would dismiss Ilium their minds
all knowledge (.1 -the subject from any other quarter, and con-
fine their attention exclusively to the evi:lenee, and to a nar-
rative of the facts and circumstances to be detailed by the

witnesses.

'Wien Adams was now called, and examined by the Sou-
CITOR-GENERAL—Iiii evidence, with some little additions,
was in substance the same as that given on the two former
trials. In detailing some particular observations which he
said fell froon the prisouvr,
Brunt rose hastily from his seat, and said—" My Lord, can
the witness look into my face, and into the faces of those
Gentlement(pointing to the Jury,) and say that I have said

so ?"

Adams (turning towards the prisoner, and laying his hand
on his breast)—l -can declare it with a safe and 'clear con-

science.
Brunt. —Then you are a bigger villain than ever I thought
you to be.
The COURT interfered to prcrent any further conversation

between the parties.
This witness wtc cross-ermined at some length by Mr.

Cu ItwooD.

The other witnesses examined were Eleanor Walker, Mary
Rogers, Joseph Hale, Thomas Sharp, Charles Bisset, Henry
Milan), Edward Simpson, J. H. Morrison, James Aldons,
John Monument. After him, Thomas Monument was the
next witness examined. His evidence corroborated that of his
brother, John Monument, who was afterwards recalled, and
examined as to certain facts.

The next witness was Thomas Hyden, who repeated the
evidence which ha had given on former trials. He was closely
cross-examined by Mr. Curwood. After his examination had
closed, he evinced a disposition to stay in Court, on which
the prisoner Blunt observed, " My Lord, the witness stays
in Court." Wilson, another of the prisoners, then ruse, and
said, with great indignation, " My Lord, let that perjured
villain he corned out of Court." Mr. Hyden immediately
withdrew from Court.

The Earl of Harrowlry was then cal!ed, and repeated his
former evidence.

John Baker, the butler to the Earl of liarrowby, corrobo-
rated his Lordship's evidence.

Richard Mundy and George Caylock pro'ved the presence of
the prisoner in Cato-street on the evening un which the plot
was discovered.

George Itutliven, James Ellis,Thomas Westectt, and others
belonging to the Police-office in ilow•street, were then exa-
mined as to the seizure of the gang in Cato4street.
Fitzelarence repeated the evidence %%Welt he had
given on the former trials.

Mr. GURNEY then stated to the Court, that the case fur the
pro,ec;ttion•w•as closed, except sti fit as related to the exami-
nation, of the arms, ammunition, &c., wh:ch had been seized
lit Cato-street, or on tbe premises or the Conspirators. As it
would be most prudent to examine them by day-light, be
hoped that tae Court would. adjourn their examination uittil
the morrow—(this day.)
The Loan Cult? 11.1aos acquiesced in the proposition, and
L;joorned the Court.

During the whole of the day Brunt was engaged in taking
notes of what oecurrel ; so also were two of the uther pri-
soners=Harrison and Wilson.
