Those fine Regiments, the 10th, Or Prince o
Wales's Hussars, under the command of Colones
QUENTIN, the 12th Royal Lancers, and the 19th
tanCers were reviewed yesterday on Hounslow
Heath, in presence of the KING. They were on
the groUnd so early as eight o,'clock ; and shortly
afterwards Lord Edward Somerset, attended by
his Aid-de-cfunp, Lord Charles Somerset, arrived,
and the troops immediately took up their position
in and waited the Urrival of his Majesty..---
The -whole division amounted to 4,800 men.—
Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York and
Cambridge arrived soon after, and they were
followedin rapid succession by the Duke of Wel-
lington, the Duke of Montrose, the Earl of Cath.
cart, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Lord Arthur Hill.
and many other distinguished Officers. A few
minutes after nine o'clock, his Majesty came upon
_the ground, frolli the cottage in Windsor Park,
in his plain green travelling carriage and four.—
His Majesty was attended by Sir Benjamin
Bloomfield, and escorted by a Guard of Honour
from the Royal Horse Guards Blue. A strong
detachment of the same_corps kept the ground.
The Royal carriage drove immediately up hi
front Of the line, where his Majesty alighted from
it, and mounted one of the beautiful chargers in
Waiting for his use. He wore 'a Field Marshal's
uniform, and appeared in excellent health and
spirits, conversing in the most courteous manner
with the distinguished individuals by whom he
was received. The unpleasantness of the Morning,
and the earliness of the hour, had prevented
at this time 'a. large assemblage of spectators,
but his Majesty was received by all- present with
the most marked respect. After
.a few minutes
spent in conversation, and every thing being- in
readiness, his 'Majesty, nearly surrounded by
Field Officers, and having his Royal brothers on
tje right aifli left, proceeded to the paradev—As
I* passed through the line of carriages which
were drawn up in front,. every .head was unco-
vered and all seemed anxious to testify their feel-
ings of loyalty and attachment towards_his per-
son. His Majesty bowed on all sides' to the
greetings by which he was received and advanced
to the right of the line formed by the 10th Hus-
sars ; the 19th Lancers were in the centre, and
12th were on the left-4lis Majesty having
passed along the front and rear of the line,
crossed obliquely from the right of it to ,a srot
appointed in front of the centre, and about 400
yards from the troops. Here he took his stand,
and being furnished with a summary of the move-
Merits and attacks which were to be made, his
stafr •fell a little back, and left him in advance
with his
,Royal Brothers on his right. The scene
at this moment was singularly interesting.
In the front the appearance of the cavalry under
review had the finest effect. Behind his Majesty
a great number of carriages were by this time
drawn up, filled with beauty and fashion. On
the right and left of the Sovereign appep.r.ll a
numerous field of equestrian spectators, and im-
mediately round his person were many well
dressed pedestrians male and female. The troops
now approached, and having passed his Majesty
in single files, they repassed in full trot-in divi-
sions, and then again passed the Royal Stand in
'half squadrons at full- speed. The troops then
went through a variety of evolutions; all of which
were marked by perfection of discipline, and the
Review concluded with a general salute ; the
whole of the bands playin&i " God save the
King.'

Thus terminated the superb spectacle, and his
Majesty immediately advanced to the front of the
line, and was graciously pleased to express to
Lord Edward Somerset, and the field officers who
commanded under him, the sincere pleasure he
felt at every thing that had passed under his no-
tice, whether as to the general appearance and
appointments of the men and officers, or to the
manner in which they had executed the .dillicult

I movements in which they had been engaged.
The Royal carriage then drew up immediately,
and his Majesty having entered it, the Guard of
Honour closed round, and it drove off amicrst the
acclamations of a great number of persons. Their
Royal Highnesses the, Dukes of York and Cla-
rence also lest the ground, immediately. It
was about a quarter past eleven o'clock when
the review terminated ; but hundreds of
carriageS were then on the road hurrying to
the scene of action,. and from the middle
of Hounslow to the entrance of the ground,
the road was so completely blocked up
with them, that the troops, in returning to
their quarters, were obliged to ride . along
the footpaths. There were, no doubt, many
thousand persons on foot, on horseback, and in
carriages, disappointed of witnessing any part
daf the spectacle. As it was, -there was
an immense assemblage of carriages and horse-
men on the ground , towards ten o'clock, the
weather having then. cleared up. Athong
them were observed Prinice Paul Esterhazy, the
Duke and Duchess DecazeS; the Duke de Frias,
most of the ?ther. Foreign Ministers, and 'many
Noblemen; .

After the Review, the Hon. Colonel Ponsonby,
and the Officers of the l2th Lancers, gave. a
splendid dejeune at the barracks on Bowlslow-
.
heath.

This morning his Majesty was to Review the
ousehuld Brigade on the same ground.

were prematurely expending their primps, ever
if they were artfully marshalling their strengti
on such occasions. We have already observed,
if accusation is honoUred, what must acquittal
be—if doubtful character be so glorified, what
can be done to show the admiration of. inno-
cence ?—Even if it were net irreconcilable with
a sense of propriety and justice, it would be but
commonly prudent to reserve some of the cere-
monies and congratulations till that proud day
(should it happily arrive) when tire Queen came
forth from her trial declared to be 'spotless. and
untainted.—Then might oratory above that of
the City Faction----then might shouts louder than
those of the very rabble—then might. Addresses
from the whole kingdom, instead of a few mal-
content bodies, ring throughout -the land, and
prove how fervently it rejoiced in the approved
virtue and decorous ,conduct of its Queen. Till
then, such demonstrations are but the, filthy
works of faction :—they do not add one jot to
'the righteous- defence of a good cause, while they
augment in a fearful degree the atrocity of a bad
one.

Plornhig Chronicle.]

Before the re-opening of the House of Lords,
e sense of the Country will have been pro-
ounced on the mode of , proceeding adopted to-
'ards the Queen. Hitherto, there may be said
:o have beest but one opinion. on the subject.—
..4'very Where the ex post facto mode of Legisla-
ion is hbldiltahhorrence.. The people truly feel
with her Majesty, that this mode of Procedure
" is at once an outrage on all law, and
incompatible with the spirit of the British Con-
stitution." They regret, that the practice which
has sometimes prevailed during times of Civil
War and Revolutions, of overwhelming indivi-
duals by Bills of Pains and Penalties, should
now be resorted to in times of long--established
civil union and tranquillity ; and cannot help
feeling the. truth of her Majesty's observation,
that the poWer which destroys her to-day, "makes
every man's liberty less secure to-morrow." In
any cause between one private individual and
another, which comes by appeal before the
]louse of Lords, as expositors of the existing
laws, a: less numerous and more select tribunal
might pronounce a more enlightened decision;
hut no one suspects their impartiality. But when
this body does not act in a judicial but in a le-
gislative capacity, where the whole weight of the
Government'is thrown into one of the scales, and
where, of course, party motives operate with all
their force, what are we, to expect ? Fortunately,
however, from the freedom of the press in :this
country, and the right which the people still re=
tain of expressing their sentiments on public
affairs, in very extraordinary cases like the pre-
sent, there is some check against the party spirit
to which we Have alluded. What may be the
effect on the discretion of the -Legislature of the
strong feeling entertained by the great bodrof
the people of England on the subject of the pro-
ceedings against the Queen, we cannot pretend
to say.
If Ministers, however, are wise, they
will reSpeCt it. No one can doubt their power
to carry any measure they may propose ; but it
may not always be expedient to avail themselves
of that power. If ever there was a case which
called for the display of discretion, the present
is that case. There are circumstances in the
signs of the times calculated to shake the nerves
of the firmest. We need not say more.

[Morning Herald.]

A storm seems to gather over Naples.—The
revolution there has unhappily been ensanguined
in human blood'already. One regiment mutinied,
but after some lives lost, was quickly reduced,
and handed over to military punishment. Whe-
ther foreign hostility has begun the work of
counter-revolution, by- secret intrigue in this
affair, or whether the troops were really incited
to disobedience by the heavy duty to which they
were subjected, cannot yet be determined. But
the hostility of Austria is openly denounced
against the Neapolitan Revolution. Though,
however, the Cabinet of Vienna talks about Na-
ples, it seems chiefly to act with a view to prevent
insurrection in Lombardy. The most rigid sur-
veillance is observed, and facts are admitted,
which amount to the avowal of an actual
design of insurrection, such as the disappear-
ance of the retired officers of the Old army ; in
fact, the whole of Italy, or nearly so, is in a state
Pre-disposed for convulsion, in conl,equence of
the politically vicious distribution of its popula-
tion,'under the late arrangements for the peace
of Europe. In no country was national opinion
and prejudice (which also in this case deserved-
consideration), less attended to. Communities were
forced under foreign dominion against their bent,
and on the first occasion, they naturally seek to
recover their natural position, by flinging off the
pressure under which they had been previously
restrained. The great tendency in Italy is to

Aboat;Line, :the CUIEF BMW entered .the
Court, acctimparaied as usnal by the SHERIFF, apd
leek his pluc.e oncthe Benqh. Tire Defendants
vine afterwards made: their.appez:rance, and the
-venerable Major was accommodated with a seat
atna,:ngst the riarristers. Amongst those present_
noti:ed Mr.. Mr. Pysche
Fai,iaker,ll.P., both of whom accompanied the
defenilrATatS into Court,, and :at by them. -Almost
;2i3 CO theinoment when the case for the Prose.:
ciostd, .the defendants had not de-
kled nyc:r the precise line of defence which

•:11oilid. adopt.
The Special jury pannel was then called for,
but only fear of the Gentlemen were found to
be in attendance. The Officer asked if a tales

wits pravat?
Mr. )5'.:IiNblAN said, that one of the defendants
(Edmunds) had not yet come into town, and as
it wa uncertain whether he would join the others
in motion, he would take it as a favour of
the Court to remain for ,some little titne•without

proceeding on the trial.
Air. Serieaut AZAuGHAN said, he had no reason
-tO" throW an obstacle in the way of this accorn-
inodation, if the time required was not un-

ree.onable.
Mr. DLNMAN said, he would. not ask longer
than teu o'clock. This interval his Lordship
granted.
The Officer was now going again to call over
'tile names of the absent Special Jurymen, when

Mr. DENMAN rose and said, he had just received
a communication • from Mr. Pearson, the defen-
dants' Attorney, which, as it was .his duty, he
would mention to the Court. It appeared to
him to contain a very strong objection to an itn-
portant part of the proceedings already taken
placenamely„the mode of summoning the Jury.
The Learned Counsel then stated that, under the
:34 of Geo. 11. cap. 25. sec,-19. by which Special
,furies were regulated, itlyas required every juror
on the pannel should have received a summons to
attend the trial on a day named lit the summons,
with a reasonable time allowed him .beford the day
•on. Which his-presence was required: Now it ap-
peared that Mr. .Peech, of ldlecot, whose name
-stood N0..12 in. the list, .had.not received a sum-
. plops at all to attend on this day ; and though
that Gentleman had had summonses in other
vauses as a Special Juror, not one in the present
was served before one or two o'clock this morn—
Then, indeed, a summons was,served upon
him, requiring his attendance on the Ist day of
the. Assizes, which was the 29th of July ; but
..p.!;-thiS was never served until the morning of the
9,d of .August, of. course he did nut think himself
bound to' a day which was gone by, and •conseL
tfuntly was not in attendance nt all. To this
stat,.!rzent of facts, Mr.,Deurnan added the legal
arguments, that -a Jury struck .before the parties
in the Court above could be the only jury to try
Chili cause, and that it •cas'not in the power of the
Sheriff to amend his return, until an order of
COurt was obtained for bringing the parties again
biloye :the - Master of the Crown Office. Here
iv.ii:altiry not the same which was struck out
•.above, for one was absent, not from any neglect
•-41.-11S'elients, but frominattentionid-the Sheriff
to 'do his duty. lie was. prepared with an alli-,
davit in corroboration of the facts which he had
talriii6ne,d, and, lie trusted, that when the state=
nv!nt was made out, his Lordship would see that
the pannel \MIS imperfect.
Sonie delay then 'occurred whilst the affidavit
was_Preparing,.which Mr, Woeler took advantage
of, to call upon the Court to provide accommOda-
tion for. him amongst -the Barristers ; and he al-
-1(1,-,d it was necessary to him .fts a defendant to
be in a. place where he could take minutes of what
passed.
:The GlitEP BARON said, that much as he wished:
to extend indulgence to defendants, and Much as
he considered the anxiety, they shOuld feel, still
.11( co3td not help thinking-the present request
foridiSpiking the: Comisel a. little unreaionable;
Affr•AVOoler intimated that' he Might- be allotL;
ted a seat without much incommoding theseGen-
tlfunen ;; but he did not press the matter farther
.for.the present, and sat dolin again in the situa-
tion he ocrupied befOre.
Mr, DENmAiI .now said, that he bad the affi-
.davit to which he alluded.
"The tiring,, read' by. the Clerk stated, that Mr.
Ch tries Pearson,the deponent, on corning to Warwick, learn-
ed with some surprise that Mr: Perch, a special Juror in this
cause, hartnercr received, a summons jet all to attend, with a
Idew,as defendant believed, of prejudicing the defendant's
cause. Mr. Perri'son /immediately wrote. to Mr. Peech, and
Went to his home, which was t 5 miles trim Norwich ; and
p4reether deeonent, named Siminons, delire'red the letter. An
au.swer was received from Mr. Perch, stating that he had re-
ceived-ph summons to altered as a.Special Joe or in this cause

son. Indeed, Mu'. PearSein said he knew as much, for he had
beets speaking to the lady the same morning,. and then asked
to see her again. Be said be. would call at six in the morn-

it is quite re;;-u far to allow you to ash the witness a question ;
you hare an able Counsel; and 1 would rather you would
leave your cause in his hands. I make all possible allowance,
for your feelings in the situation in winch you are phiced, but
our ri'gulations are fixed.
Mrijor Cartwright said he would.not interfere any more.
A witness, named Smith, s.tiil he saw the summons which
was served Lipon Mr.:Peech. It was for the 49th of July, and
was secrpi yesterday, the 2d of August.
The letters which passed between Mr. Pearson and Mr.
Pecch were then read. 'the substance of them- has been al-

ready st.itecl.
Mr. ‘Vooler then mounted the table, and said he had to re-
new Iris 3ppral to the Court for accommodation.. . -
The CHIEF. BanoN.—Sir, I have already told you that I
cannot displace the Counsel :rotn the table.
Mr: Wooter (after a &holt. erval)--Ny Lord, I bave to
request. thc.it you will give me some directiUns bow 1 atu

The CHIEF BAnoN.—Sir, I have Only to repeat wfit i have
already said.
Mr. Woofer —My Lord, I beg you may give peremptory
orders for my accommodation.
The CHIEF BARON.—I wonder that you persist in this
way. I shit I give peremptot v orders for room—you may
hare it behind the bar, in the -box appropriated to the defen-

dants.
Mr. Wooler.—Your Lordship sees there is no convenience.
(This, like fusilier appeal, ended ist Mr. Woof'er's re-
maining in the same place.)
After the letters were read, Mr. DENNuot claimed a right
of essmiuing sir. Pearson upon oath. As they were tied
down to the words of the affidavit, it was but just Mr. ['eatso❑
should-have a❑ or port unity of explaining parts of it.
Thc CHIE: BaitoN.--4 caa have ❑o difficulty its allowing
you.
Mr. Pearson being sworn, denied that he ever carries' a
letter frOm Major Cartwright to Mr. Peed), or that he knew
of any such letier•havin beets written. He had never said
to Mr. Peed), or the .servant, that he knew- of such a
letter. Never saw Mr. Prech before in his-life. When wit-
ness said he knew of Mr. Peed' having received summonses
before; he meant in other causes, not this.
Mr. Lee. was again called to know whether a separate sum-
mons had been issued to Mr. Peech for this cause, or if the
c•iuse was only mentioned amongst otters upon which he was
to- all end. The witness could recollect nothing but having
directed the warrant.to the proper officer.
Joseph Subling was the person who received the Sheriff's
warrant, but he had not time to have all the summonses serv-
ed. Sent some of them by common carriers. Believed there
was only one summons for all the causes in which Mr. Peech
was td serve. In this, the names of all were ,nientioned. Mr

• _ .
Teech lives 14 miles from War wick the summonses were '
made out on Friday evening, but not sent off until three, '
o'clock in the afternoon of Monday.
Cross•examined by Mr. HlLL—There was a case of Lane
v. Newditate, in which Mr. Perch was named as a Special
Juror. There was a separate summons sent to him in that
'case. •
CitrEr BA RnN.---1 will hear Mr. MB upon the evidence.
Mr. firm, then made some strong_ observations upon the
case NS l!'d) the evidence audoced made for the defendants.
He contended that on the other side there was no case at all
proots—as to any service 'whatever. The Sheriff, of
coin seolid.not serve the summons. Sutbing committed them
to the care of common carriers ; but farther no one affected
to trace theM. What answer WAS that to the positive and
distinct allegations in the affidavit of Mr. Pearson, or the
disavowal of Mr. leech himself. It was not denied that Mr.
leech had had summonses; but not in this ease. By law the •
defendants bad an undoubted right to a Jury, not only of 12
turn, hut of 24 good and lawful men, able and obliged by the
law to serve, out of whom a proper Jury might Pre formed.
Of this Dumber only four wets forthcoming—of the rest, the
law had dealt fairly with the parties ; it had done all it could
to bring them here, but there was one, who was not asked to
come at all. The neglect was then in the Minister, whose
duty it'was to further the administration of justice; but it,
was not the defendants', who ought not to be prejudiced by it.
In a cape in Easter 'resin, 1819, tried in the Exchever, that
of the King a. Goottnian, the pi sition was affirmed that a
Party had alight to 24 able men to serve upon in person, in
order that the defendant might suggest all objections which
would occur to him, many of which might have arisen atter
the service of the summons—many after he bad come into
Count.' There should be a rule of Court for striking a new
-Jury. 'There was 'also another objection as to the time of :he
day when the summons was seised. To serve at two. in the
mornieg, in order to he in Court at nine, was a rigour un-
.known to the law. There should' be always allowed a reit-
sepable time to the party to prepare himself. In the City of
London, if a 87.0v6:!na be served in the morning, the person
was not required to give his attendance the same day in
any of the Courts at Westminster Hall. That had been fre-
quently ruled. Then how mug h stronger was the vase here,
where the party summoned lived no less•than 14 or 15 miles
from town,. was, served with the oKder in the middle of the
night,'and labotired at the sametime under seVere indisposition.
On all these Vaunt's the Learned Counsel said he would chat-
lenge the array, hut he would reduce thethallenge to writing.
Mr..ierjeant Vat/of-lAN declined arguing in rcp,y.
The (Arras 13410a1e.—1 think the arguments ,uscel go to
stretch a Point of form to too great rigour. If there is any
thing in the objections, the defendants will, of course, in
another place, have the benefit of them. At present nothing
has been ofFered to show me that we ought not to•go on with
the : hot I most say, the Learned Counsel for the De-
fendants have made as welch of their points, as.possible. Let
the challenge be quashed. •
Mr. Hill Said, he had another groUnd of objeCtion, which
was the unilidilLrency of the Master of the CrOwti Office, ,

with your argument.

I conceive it astrong ground,- foal can challenge a common
Jury. [ider such circunistanccs, I submit the arias of show-
ing that a special one is init'sithject to the same challenge,

v. Johnsou, a challenge was made to the Special Jury, on ac-
, Coma ofitheomi odifiereney of the•. Master of the. Crown Office,

.. Mr.- Wooler-,My Lord, you are-Judge here, and may con-
troul -----
CHI Er BA tiox—My duty as Judge at :Visi Prins is limited
and well defined. . .
Mr. Wooler—l was using this as, part of my argument, to
show th'e grounds upon which I challenge the array. We are
charged , with a conspiracy against the Government ; I was
preparing to show the conspiracy of Government against us.
If I establish this-conspiracy against us, surely your Lordship
will make an Order—
Cn lEF BatioN.—l have- hefore said; I can make-no Order.
Mr.Wooler—Your. Lordship might very safely say.that•the
Circumstances were such you felt yourself obliged to make an
alteration int he Jury. .
CHIEF BARON—If I were to do so I should be impeached.
Mr. ieVouler said, his argument was nearly at an end,
though after what fell from the Court, he saw little hopes of
success ; yet would he persevere, to show that if he was per-
secuted, it would not he in the dark. He would sum up his
arguments by saying, that after the Master of the Crown Of-
fice had struck the Grand Jury out of-the array, then there
remained but 5(3 names out Of which to choose 48, His duty,
therefore, could not he to select from a larger nninber a
smaller one.; but by leaving out a few names, to have- the
whole Pannel without selection. -He, concluded by entering
his protest against the proceeding, and .reduCiug the chal-
lenge to the Jury in writing-.
The CHIEF BARON over-ruled the objection,- and -desired
the trial so proceed.
' The Jurors were then. again called, but still there were
only four Specials -if) attendance. Talesmen were put into
requisition, and out of a great number of nameS, the follow-
ing answered :

any opinion upon the merits or demerits of this case ?

The .Juror, of his own actors!, disclaimed having given any.
The same question was put to the other Jut ors ; hot by
command of the Court, they declined giving any answer. ,
Mr. Hughes, a talesman, WaS about to he sworn.
Mr. Wooter—Pray, Mr. Hughes, will you indulge me in an

tion ; but hesitating to reply,
Mr. Woolcr said—l object to the Juryman, on account ol
-his incapacity.
Mr. GI A inix to the Juror—Have you said, at any time, whe•
ther these defendants were dr-were not guilty.
Mr. Woolzr— Sir, that was not my question to the Gentle.

Mr. CLARKE—I endeavoured to give the substance of it.
Mr. Wooler—My words were intelligible enough. To
an ordinary understanding they would have conveyed my

meaning.
Mr. &MIKE—Sir, you forget to whom you address this
language. -
Mr. Wooler—lP I have spoken improperly I am of en to the
correction of the Learned Judge.
Mr. CLAnisr:—My Lord shall decide.

Mr. Lewis—Do you understand the question

per.. Mr. Woofer's meaning was very intelligible.
After being interrogated in the same way, the other Jurors
were sworn, and the .cause commenced.
Mr. 13.1.1,GUT opened the pleadings. The in-
dictment charged the defendants, George Ed-
munds, Charles Maddox, John Cartwright;
Thomas Jonathan Wooler, and William Great-
head Lewis, with ,being malicious, seditious, and
evil-disposedpersons, and with unlawfully and
maliciously desiring and intending to raise and
excite discontent and disaffection in the minds of
the King's subjects, and intending to move them.
to hatred and contempt of the. Government and
Constitution as by law established, and of the
Commons. House of Parliament as by law esta-
blished heretofore : to wit, 041 the 12th day of
July, 1819 ; and on divers other days and times,
as well before as after, with force and, arms at
Birmingham,. unlawfully, maliciously, and sedi;-
tiously, did. combine, conspire, and confederate
with each other, and with divers other disaffected
and ill-disposed persons, for the purposes above-
mentioned, and unlawfally to nominate, elect, and
appoint,a person to be .Kepresentative of the in-
habitants of Birmingham, and to clairnadmission
into the House of Commons as a Member thereof,
neither they, the said defendants, nor the said
other conspirators, nor the inhabitants of Bir-
mingham, being then lawfully authorised to no-
minate, elect, or appoint any such Representative :
and that they, the defendants, and various. other
persons, in pursuance of the said conspiracy, as-
semi?led to the siumher of 20,000, for the pur-
pose of hearing divers scandalous, seditious, and
infiathinatory speeches, resolutions, and writings,
concerning the Government and the House of
Commons, utterer/ for the purposes aforesaid. •
The'defendants, &c. so assembled, were charg-
ed with having uttered speeches of the above de-
scription, for the pUrposes already stated. And
that the said conspirators. in fUrther pursuance,
4c..did with .a loud voice say, utter and publiSh

and Constitution of this; realm; as by -law esta-

And the said conSpirators -did aid and assist in
causing and Procuring one ,Sir Charles WOlseley,

ed the Representative aforesaid, and to claim ad,

-4r thereof,_ neither' of the 'said COnsPiratori be-
• • .
mgm any manneriawfully authorised so to do:.
The-defenklants pleaded- Not Guilty..
Mr. Sergeant V,AnokiAN.. then rose to address
the Jury. It wasi,a pleasure, he said, to him, to
beat •length, .perinitted -to ,addresS them .orr the
part of the Crown, after so much ,of their time
had "been already. waited. .The charge under
which the present defendants lay, was that of a
seditious .ConSpiraCy,'and4ruly, if,offences were
to, be estithated according' to the degreeef dan-
ger which they inspired,. this was a frnisderneanor
of the first-class. For What- could' be more cri-

urinal in stthjects, titan by words or actions tt#
excite discontent and disaffection in the people
towards the Government ; to arraign the integrity
of an important branch of the Legislature ; to
assert that the House of Commons was not

tion, yet the Learned Serjeant said,; there were
certain parts of it, torwhich- he_ wished to dray./
their particular attention. -These 'he would ar"
range simply, and he was sure -they would- be
easily disposed of. In every criminal inquiry, it
was very desirable the Jury should have a right
notion of the charges preferred, their. nuure
and extent. Here the amount of them -es'a4
this :—That the defendants had• conspired. td
excite discontent and disaffection towards the
Government, and that they had procured a
presentative for Birmingham -unlawfully, and
-without proper authority. That they had also
instructed this Representative to force his waY
into the House of Commons,. and to use all
his efforts to bring about a change there. NoWs
to these acts, the objection was two-fold
.; first?
the defendants met without the legal sanction of
the King's writ, and they. were guilty of an arro--
gant and presumptuous usurpation of, a power of
legislation, for one branch .could not alter what
had been the work of all three.- Without goilg
back to the very dark periods of our history, whell
the King of his own motion called men to Par'
liament, it was certain that by the Constitution
as now established, this was a gr9ss violation:o(
the-prerogative, and an assumption of legislative
power. Although the King in early times,conht
call persons together to Parliament, yet even he
in the present day could not make•that alteration
in the Constitution which the defendants, in their
person
.and by their own authority, attempted-
The King-could not issue new writs, that is, he
could not give the ,elective franchise to a place
which bad it not before-4-iis incapacity so to d°
was declared by Act of' Parliament. When tare
country effected the Union with Scotland, th
Act of Parliament which sanctioned it declared,'
that whilst England should have 513 Member' •
in the-House of Commons,•Scotland should have
45. Therefore any increase Of the number, or
any alteration in it, would be a violation of that
soletnn treaty to which every branch of the lei
gislature was pledged. By consequence the
King had virtually abdicated and formally parted
with his power of increasing the members -of tile
representative legislature. This power ther4
rested only in the three branches of the lesrisll:
Lure together, unconstitutional in the Band
of arty one.. SO much for the objects of tlice
conspiracy, but as to the conspiracy itseh
or the means which were, used 'to :card
these objects into effect, it had always bee,
looked upon with a particularly odious and je,
loos eye by the law ; so jealous, indeed, that e.O;
where the purposes were legal, the Constituti°,
hath ever set his face against conabinatious.""
But how much more, obnoxious must they it
when not only were their objects illegal, but 0;
means
.of carrying them into execution so ver-i,
unconstitutional ? This was not the place te
into any idle discussions upon Parliarnentari
Reform. Whether -it would be advisable to ect-c,
tend the elective franchise more . widely-, or ,
unmake some alterations which time and circul:c
stances had made' in our Constitution, Was 'l5
now the question. The only consideration Ole;
whether the defendants had taken the prePil
steps to accomplish these objects. It bed he,,,(_
