(Before Chief Justice TIDAL.)

The names of Wm. Ellis and his companions were,
on the opening of the Court, called over. The exa-
mination of witnesses was proceeded with, who de-
posed to the excellent characters which the prisoners
had always borne prior to the present charge.
The trial had not concluded when the train left.

(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.)
Thos. Rowley, John Rowley, Thos. Smith, Ma7k
Baugh, and Cornelius Hicken, were arraigned for a
riotous assembly and lint, and for an unlawful assem-
bly on the 3d of August in the parish of Nortonkanes,
South Staffordshire.

The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all
the prisoners.
John Rowley, Thomas Rowley, Mark Baugh,
Samuel Smith, Matthew Hart, Michael Breeze, Joseph
King, and Cornelius Hicken, were arraigned for a
riot, an unlawful assembly, and an assault on the 13th
of August.
All the prisoners with the exception of Matthew
Hart, were found Guilty.
A warrant was issued for the apprehension of a man
named Davis, who was included in the above indict-
ment, and was out on bail, but who did not appear.
(Before Mr. Baron Rom.)
John Hollis, Samuel Simpkin, Robert Clisk, Francis
Taylor, John Room, George Sharp, W. Ditch.*ld,
George Fletcher, and John Brooks, were charged with
unlawfully assembling at Mr. Frost's colliery, and
violently assaulting Benjamin Beston.
The trial was going on when the train left.
CHESTER, OCT. 7.—The Judges being determined,
to deliver the gaol as quickly as possible, have this
day been sitting in three different Courts, Lord
Abinger in the Crown Court, Mr. Baron .Alderson in
the Nisi Prins, and Sir C. Cresswell in the Grand
Jury-room. In the first, the case which had occu-
pied the entire of the preceding day, was proceeded
with. The Jury found a verdict of guilty on the whole of
the counts against all the prisoners except Shirt, who
was found guilty in the second count only.

A new Jury having been sworn,
Thomas Winterbottom, Oliver Fry, John Smith,
Hugh Winterbottom, and James Kinder, were placed
at the bar, charged with rioting at Brookfield, and
feloniously demolishing the mill and dwelling-house
of Samuel Shepley. The defendants were all young
men, and two seemed to suffer still from the wounds
they had received when making the attack.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in stating the case,
gave the circumstances as they have already been
related in The Sun, in which it will be remembered
that the rioters persevered in their attack, and Mr.
Shepley, fearful for his life and property, fired, and
three persons were wounded. This exasperated the
rioters, and more violent efforts were made to get into
the mill. When the mob had nearly overpowered Mr.
Shepley and his assistants, the military fortunately
arrived, and dispersed the rioters. Under these cir-
cumstances, it being ascertained that all the prisoners
were there, and that three were wounded, the present
indictment was preferred against them. On the oc-
casion of the attack Mr. Shepley behaved with the
greatest firmness and forbearance, raising his gun
three times before he fired. The question the Jury
would have to decide was whether the attack was
connected with the meeting which had preceded it,
and whether the prisoners were concerned in it.—
Several witnesses having been examined,
Mr. YARDLEY, for the defence, submitted that there
was no case against Kinder and Hugh Winterbottom.
The LORD CHIEF BARON concurred with the coun-
sel for the defence ; and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL
said he would not press the case as against these
persons.

Kinder and Hugh Winterbottom were accordingly
Acquitted, and the other prisoners were found Guilty.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL expressed his hope that
with respect to the wounded defendants his Lcrdzhij
would, in passing sentence, be as lenient as possible.
The Court then adjourned till a quarter-past nine
o'clock on Saturday.
SATURDAY.—The Court having met at the usual
hour, James Thorpe, Samuel Ferns, George Taylor.
William Wykle, and James Hague, were placed at
the bar, charged with conspiring to prevent her Ma-
jesty's suLjects following their lawful employments.
Yearns and George Taylor pleaded guilty, the others
not guilty.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that this case was
important and alarming, as showing the organisation
which existed among a portion of the working classes.
The defendants had, in fact, formed a sort of com-
mittee of safety, who sat regularly, and determined
in what cases and what emergencies the operatives
were to be allowed to work.

themselves rise to any situation, provided the Consti-
tution of this country were allowed to remain free.
But the prisoners were desirous of tyrannising
over the whole country. They went about and
said to men, " You shall not work." What
was that but tyranny ? This was what the pri-
soners James Turner, John Drubble, and Isaac
Drubble had done. Though the Jury had re-
commended the two Drubbles to mercy, he should
feel it his duty to subject them to the same punish-
ment as the rest. The prisoner James Gosling was
a farmer's servant. What, then, had he to do with
the outbreak ? Had he been a manufacturing la-
bourer, and fancied he might, by the course he pur•
sued, raise his wages, there would then have ap-
peared some ground for his conduct ; and, though he
would have been still culpable, he might have been
an object of sonic degree of compassion. But the
prisoner was not injured by the prices given far
manufacturing labour, and yet he joined a body of
other persons for the purpose of stopping that labour
with which he had nothing to do, and therefore the
Court could not help thinking that he was actuated
by some general or political motives. The prisoner
J oseph Done had been convicted of an attempt to
stop the railway communication of this country,
and had so acted from political motives, and in
order to prevent one class of her Majesty's
subjects, who were desirous of putting an end
to those disturbances, from proceeding to the
assistance of another class. He should, there-
fore, pass upon all the prisoners the same sentence;
and he trusted that during the term of their im-
prisonment they would properly reflect on their past
conduct, and persuade others in the same situation as
themselves to avoid in future those who, for their own
purposes, misled them, and who, finding that they
could not rise by honest means, endeavoured to raise
themselves into consequence and notoriety by pander-
ing to the worst passions, working upon the grossest
ignorance, and cheating the dupes who were so foolish
as to listen to them. The sentence upon the prisoners
before-mentioned was, that each of them be imprisoned
in the gaol at Chester for the space of one year. The
prisoners Michael Morris, Charles Harrop, Samuel
Shepley, and Samuel Gosling, had been guilty of an-
other and a very serious offence. It was proposed by
certain Magistrates that some of those persons whom
he had described as misleading ignorant people for
their own private purposes, should be made to answer
for their offence, and a warrant was issued for the
apprehension of one of those parties called delegates—
persons who spoke, but did not act—who advised
others to commit violence, but ran away from danger
themselves—the most contemptible, and, at the
same time, the most wicked class of in-
dividuals. It was such persons that they
chose to give assistance to, and whom they
sought to rescue from the custody of the constables,
in order that they might not be made answer-
able for their conduct; and at the same time they
committed a grievous and violent outrage against the
constables acting under the orders of the Magistrates.
What society could exist, if persons charged with
offences were prevented from being brought to—he
would not say say punishment—but to trial even ?
Why should any man, high or low, rich or poor, if
charged with an offence, not be brought before a
court of justice, which represented the Sovereign and
the whole community, and administered justice for
the whole country ? Yet the prisoners had stood in
the way, and had said that this man, whom the con-
stables went to apprehend, should have impunity,
whatever charges might be brought against him !
But they would find that the law was too strong for
them. The man they attempted to rescue was after-
wards taken, and probably at the presentmoment was
abiding in another court the consequences of his con-
duct. The sentence upon them was, that they be
each imprisoned for the space of eighteen months.
He trusted, that during their imprisonment they
would reflect on these things. For them, as a set of
most unfortunate dupes, he felt sincere pity ; but
it was necessary that the law should take its course,
in order that others might be protected ; for
those who instigated them he had no other feeling
but abhorrence and contempt. The prisoner Joseph
Taylor had been convicted of attending an unlawful
assembly, and the prisoners William Smith, James
Kershaw, and William Martin, of attending the same
unlawful assembly, and also of having forcibly stopped
the Peak-forest Canal-works, by damaging one of the
locks, which was felony by law. Of that felony Taylor
had not been convicted, because he was not present at the
act, though no one could doubt that what he had said
at the meeting operated as an instigation to the of-
fence. The prisoner Taylor was one of those persons
who led others on to commit offences, and therefore he
could not regard Taylor's offence as less than the
others, though theirs was felony and Taylor's misde-
meanour. It was impossible for the prisoner Taylor
to say. how many crimes might have flowed from his
misconduct at the meeting he had attended. It was
not only the human, but the Divine law, which the
prisoner, had violated, and it was because they had
not had instruction in these matters that their mis-
ccriduet had brought them into their present situation.
It behoved those who had Lu give inztruction in reli-
gious matters, as well as in general education, to con-
sider these things. The sentence upon Joseph Taylor
was that he be imprisoned 15 months in Chester gaol,
and upon Smith, James Kershaw, and Wm.
Martin, that they be imprisoned in the House of Cor-
rection at Knutsford for 12 months, and kept to hard
labour.

Evidence was then called against the defendants,
who were all found guilty.
James Derbyshire was then tried, and found guilty
of a participation in the attack on Stockport Work-
house. The prisoner having been previously convicted of
felony in another Court, was sentenced to transporta-
tion for life.

Wm. Turner, Samuel Kay, and Robert 'Robertson
were placed on their trial for conspiracy to prevent
persons following their lawful employment.
The case having been fully proved, the defendants
were found guilty.
Joseph Smith, Amos Smith, Wm. Rock, John Webb,
and Martha Baker were put upon their trial for steal-
ing money and provisions from the Stockport Union.
The prisoners were all convicted.
The LORD CHIEF BARON, after a suitable exhorta-
tion, sentenced each to 12 months' imprisonment and
hard labour, _ _

His LORDSHIP then proceeded to pass sentence on
the other prisoners who had been convicted during the
present Commission.
Thomas and James Wild, Wm, Moorhouse, Stephen
Shirt, John Fanhurst, Samuel Lees, Joseph Buckley,
and the other prisoners convicted of conspiracy, having
been placed at the bar,
The LORD CHIEF BARON proceeded to pass sen-
tence upon them. He said that they had been con-
victed of conspiring to overturn the existing Constitu-
' tion of the country by force and violence, and also of
riot. The offences of which they had been convicted
derived additional importance from the organisation
for mischief which had been proved to exist among a
portion of the working classes, and he (Lord Abin-
ger) would tell the prisoners that they owed it to the
lenity of the Government that they had not been
placed on their trial for high treason. The Govern-
ment were making an experiment of conciliation ;
God knew whether it would prove successful, but
they were anxious to give the working classes time
and opportunity to recover from the delusions which
had caused so much mischief. Even if their labour
did require any further protection (which he very
much doubted), they had taken the very worst course
for redress. After a few more observations, his Lord-
ship sentenced Robert Wild, Moorhouse, Fanhurst
Lees, and James Wild, to be imprisoned for two years
each ; S. Shirt was sentenced to 18 calendar months ;
Taylor, Fern, Wm. Wild, Thorpe, and Jas. Hague,
one year each; S. Kay and Robertson one year ; and
Buckley, Winterbottom, and Smith, who had been
wounded in the attack on Mr. Shepley's mill, were,
on the intercession of that gentleman, sentenced to
only three months' imprisonment; Lees and Buckley
one year each. •
All the cases in the Crown Court having been now
disposed of, the Lord Chief Baron dissolved the Court,
intimating that the remainder of the prisoners in gaol
would be tried at the ordinary Assizes.
Nisi PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)

ATTACK ON THE STOCKPORT WORKHOUSE.

Thomas Hough, aged 19, William Wright, 21,
John Charlesworth, 31, James Leigh, 31, James
Horsefield, 23, Noah Layfield, 21, Ann Hibbert, 23,
William Stringer, 30, Joseph 'Allis, 17, James Hat-
ton, 34, James Horsefield, 40, Thomas Smith, 20, John
Rhodes, 19, and James Harrop, 23, were severally in-
dicted for riotously assembling at Stockport, and felo-
niously demolishing the union workhouse, and many
of them for stealing bread, meat, or money, from the
said workhouse, on the 11th of August last.
The facts connected with this riot will be found de-
tailed in the report of a case which was tried before
Mr. Justice Cresswell on Saturday. Several
witnesses were called to identify such of the prisoners
as had been concerned in the offence laid to their
charge ; and the prisoners Hough, Wright, Charles-
worth, Layfield, Tanis, Hatton, Rhodes, and Harrop,
were found Guilty.
Hough, being proved to have been previously con-
victed of theft, was sentenced to fourteen years' trans •
portion ; Wright, Charlesworth, Layfield, and Tallis
being proved to be among the most active in the mob,
were sentenced, the three latter to seven years' trans-
portation, and the first to two years' imprisonment
and hard labour; and the rest to one years imprison-
ment and hard labour.

Thomas Smith, James Horsefield, and William
Stringer, acquitted en the former indictment, were
again charged with a common riot, and the latter being
found Guilty, was sentenced to be imprisoned for one
year in Chester gaol.
This case terminated the proceedings of the Special
Commission for the county of Chester.
(From the Liverpool Albion of yesterday.)
The three Judges, Lord Abinger, Chief Baron of
the Exchequer, Baron Alderson, and Mr. Justice
Cresswell, specially commissioned to try the prisoners
now in Kirkdale gaol, for participation in the recent
outbreaks, will commence their proceedings this day.
Workmen have, during the past week, been employed
in the Sessions-house, making such alterations as were
requisite. The benches in the Nisi Prius and Crown
Courts have been so altered as to allow their Lord-
ships all to sit together, if that should at any time be
requisite. A dock has also been made in the Nisi
Prius Court, in order that the Judges may take the
cases separately. The Magistrates room has been
fitted up for the reception of one of them.
Their Lordships arrived in town on Saturday night,
and yesterday morning attended Divine service and
received the sacrament. This morning their Lordships
will open the Commission, in the Crown Court, where
they will sit in banco till a sufficient number of bills
are found to afford them separate employment.
The calendar contains the names of 117 prisoners,
and six individuals who have been bailed. In addi-
tion, there are Fcargus O'Connor, the Rev. James
Scholefield, the Rev. William Hill, Editor of the
Northern Star, James Tuck, and a few others who
had not arrived, or whose names have not been trans-
mitted to the Governor of the Kirkdale prison.
The prisoners named in the calendar and their
crimes may be thus classified :—Riot 37, riot and put..
ting out fires 4, riot and turning out workmen 8, riot
and conspiracy 17, riot and assault 3, riot and begin-
ning to demolish mills, &c., 28, riot and stealing 18,
seditious libel 2, riot and plug-drawing 3.

THE SENTENCES.

This morning the Court was opened at nine o'clock.
Baron ALDERSON passed sentence on the prisoners
convicted yesterday in this Court.
The prisoners being placed at the bar,
Baron ALDERSON, addressing them, said they had
all been judged by a Jury of their own country, and
ibund guilty of different crimes against the public
peace. All of them were sad examples of the mis-
fortunes into which evil counsel led young men.
Many of them, he perceived, were very young, and
appeared very ignorant, and they were now abiding
the punishment of the law for the violent outrages
' they had committed against the peace of the country.
The prisoner William Cartwright had been convicted
of a conspiracy to prevent all others from working.
Although the prisoner was himself at perfect liberty
not to work, if he chose to abide the consequences of
idleness, he had no right to force others to the condi-
tion—the miserable condition—of idleness. Some of
them appeared to think that the rich were idle. This
was not the case. They worked, but their labour
was of a different description from that of the pri-
soners. The Judges who now sat in these Courts had
a great deal of labour to perform, and they belonged
to the
labouring classes, though they worked in a dif-
ferent way from the people in the condition of the
prisoner's ; who, if they cultivated their talents, might

early as it might have been by greater activity in the
Magistrates—all these are matters at present left
in obscurity, and which time alone can determine.
But it appears to be certain, that when once those
riots begun, when once the people had formed them-
selves into classes, for the purpose of turning out,
by force, the industrious men who were pursuing
their avocations in other places, there did arise a
disposition among many of them, and those, too, pos-
sessing considerable power and some talent, to make
use of that insurrection, and foment it, and per-
petuate it, or direct it to political objects. It seems
that a society of persons, who are recognised by the
title of Chartists, mixed themselves up with the un-
happy masses of the common people who had been
deluded into this sort of insurrection. They mixed
up with their orations, as you will find by the evi-
dence to be laid before you, many recommendations to
peace and order ; but youwill find those recommenda-
tions accompanied with statements, and the people
of this and the neighbouring county were told, that
all England was in arms ; that Scotland was pouring
out her hundreds of thousands ; that Ireland was
coming to the battle ; that the men of Birmingham,
to the number of a hundred thousand, were armed
with steel, and, insensible to the force of any military
execution, were ready to join them and carry the
day. I must say, that this sort of conspiracy, with
such objects, should have been made the subject
of prosecution for high treason. I am at a loss to
know what distinction there is between conspir-
acy to subvert the Government and impose
force and restraint on all branches of the Legis-
lature, in order to have a particular measure passed
into law, and the crime of high treason. The crime
of high treason, by the law of this country, is
technically limited to an attempt aimed at the life of
the Sovereign, or to raising war upon the Sovereign ;
but the Judges have, from the earliest times, con-
sidered
the
willthat
of
f conspiracy to employ force to restrain
thS
Sovereign, is au overt act of high
treason ; and, if satisfactorily proved, is sufficient to
justify a Jury, when accompanied with an intention
of really imposing restraint on the free will of the
Sovereign, in finding that it was the crime of high
treason. I do not understand that the Government
intend to push the indictments that will be brought
before you on this occasion to that extent. Those
people, I think, owe to the lenity of the Government
that they are not put to a hazard by which their
lives might be forfeited. But, however, you will have
laid before you indictments for conspiracy to incite
the people to insurrection, to endeavour to prevail
on those who were not at work to continue in the
state of insubordination, to compel by force those who
were at work to quit their avocations, and to per-
severe in that lawless state of disorder and violence,
and, I may say, privation also, till their favourite
Charter was carried. If bills of that sort should be
brought before you, and you should feel satisfied by
the evidence you hear, that though great masses of
people might not have been disposed actually to take
part in -conspiracy with that object, yet there were
other persons among them who were active instru-
ments to persuade them, you will be justified in
finding a charge of conspiracy against them, in order
to put them on their trial. There is another
class of offences, which, though not of equal mag-
nitude, is very dangerous, and must be punished
whenever it is satisfactorily proved ; that is, the cases
of simple rioting. A great deal has been said at dif-
ferent times respecting what shall be deemed an un-
lawful assembly. But one thing is very clear, that an
assembly consisting of such multitudes as to make all
discussion and debate ridiculous and a farce, never
could be an assembly for deliberate and calm discus-
sion. Will any man in his senses contend, when he
has the means of assembling together three or four
thousands, that he does so in order to form a delibera-
tive assembly, or to discuss speculative hints of law
or of constitutional government ? Upon the face of
it it carries its own refutation. If an assembly, there-
fore;consist of such multitudes as to render all notion
of serious debate impossible, or if you find them, by
violence, putting down all attempt at debate—if you
find they have only one object in view, which is to
hear one side only ; if that is to be their assem-
bly met for the purpose of deliberation, they can-
not protect themselves under that exemption. I
understand you will have before you also some
cases of violent and inflammatory speeches. Of
course you will exercise your own judgment,
whether the speeches made the subject of the charge
of sedition alleged, were of a nature to produce that
effect. There is one case before you, and that is a
case of printing a seditious libel. Whether or not it
will come before you, Tam not certain; but I am informed
that it will. In that case you will have an opportu-
nity of seeing what the libel is. It purports to be an
exhortation from the Council of the Chartists to all
the labouring classes, to whom it is addressed, to con-
tinue in their present suspension of labour until the
Charter is carried. It professes the words of peace
and order, but it reminds the people that they are go-
verned by laws to which they are not parties ; that
they have not made the laws ; and endeavours to per-
suade those who read it, that they can obtain no real
security for their rights and enjoyments, except by
means of an organic alteration in the Constitution
of the country. You will form your own judg-
ment of that paper. As I have had an opportunity
of seeing it, I must say that the impressicn made
upon my mind by it was, that it was full of
danger, and particularly so at a season when the publi-
cation of it must be attended with consequences very
different from the publication of such a document in
ordinary times ; because, when documents of that kind
are addressed to multitudes assembled in violation of
the law, but supposed to be assembled to exercise
their own opinions on their own affairs, you may easily
judge what effect such an exhortation is calculated to
have. Its effect must be most dangerous, and there-
fore it is criminal.

You will excuse me for uttering this language to
gentlemen of your discretion, but I cannot help expres-
ing my deep concern that some of those persons who
propagate these doctrines among the poor are persons
of sufficient talent to know very well the consequences
to which they lead ; yet they persevere in them to de-
lude the people for some private (it must be) object
of their own, in the hope that in the storm they may
acquire some position in which they finally expect to
rule it, or, by a sort of malice against the successful
enterprise or industry of those who have left them at
'a distance in the competition of honourable industry
and labour. One is led to conclude that those who
are guilty of propagating among the working classes
these doctrines, are themselves conscious of the mis-
chief which they propagate, and that if they should
he detected they deserve condign punishment. I will
not trouble you any longer with my address ; you
will have all the cases laid before you, and you will
need no further information from us as to the manner
of dealing with them. You will be so good as to

A MAD BULL IN THE RIVER THAMES.—A bull of
the Scotch breed, purchased on Monday morning in
Smithfield by Messrs. Homes and Co., of Silver-
street, St. James's, had nearly reached its place of
destination, when the animal broke away, making the
passers-by fly in all directions. Having passed through
several of the minor streets of St. James's without
meeting any interruption, Coventry-street was
reached, and here the animal first began to show its
antipathy to anything in its way, for over went apple-
stalls and old women, but fortunately without doing
any serious mischief. The animal continued its ca-
reer down Regent-street, followed by a crowd, such
a one as is only to be met with when a mad bull is
found. On reaching the steps leading from the Duke
of York's column into the park the animal paused for
a few moments, uncertain whether to proceed or make
a retrograde movement, the mob at the same time
keeping at a respectful distance ; the animal chose the
Park, and down the steps went he, and at the bottom
down went a female who was coming up, and who it
was stated was seriously hurt ; across the Park towards
the Horse Guards went the bull, even the soldiers
making a retreat in excellent order, not fearing death
at the cannon's mouth, but fearing a bull in an in-
furiated state. Whilst in the Park a little man had
the temerity to attack the bull with a stick, but was
glad to make his escape behind a tree. The animal
dashed through the gat ay at the Horse Guards,
crossed the road, through Whitehall-yard, taking
water at Whitehall-stairs, that is he would have done
so, but unfortunately it was low tide, and instead of
water he floundered up to his middle in the mud. His
pursuers arrived, but he could not get at them nor
they at him. After he had been in the mud about
half an hour, a cart-load of slaughtermen arrived, and
by means of ropes succeeded in dragging the now
almost exhausted animal near enough for slaughter-
ing. Two strokes were given with a pole-axe, and
the poor animal ceased to exist. He was then dragged
in triumph to the cart, which drove off amid the
shouting of the mob. Although several persons were
knocked down by the animal, the reporter was told
that no one was seriously hurt

hurt.
