COUNTY WEXFORD.

Judge JouNsTores Charge to the Grand Jury.
" GENTLEMEN—I have great pleasure in con-
gratulating you, and myselt also, on the state of
the Calendar, as I find that the crimes charged in
it are of a very mitigated nature."
With the exception of Cavan, Wexford. and
Waterford, these are three Counties which were
either the immediate scenes of time disturbances,
or in their vicinity. In Roscommon, punish-
ment has been inflicted on the Ribbontnen, and
no effort has been made on the part of " the In-
surgents," to rescue their Friends from the hands
of justice.
We take this opportunity of congratulating the
Morning Chronicle, which assured us that we
should be all murdered on Patrick's Day. The
festival passed over, however, with great hilarity,
amid we cannot find ourselves in the least " out of
sorts this morning."—(Dublin Evening Post.)

SINGULAR CHARACTER.-Within the lost few
days died, Susannah Nieman, aged 83, at her re-
sidence, on Clerkenwell-green. This old Lady had
for many years been an object of curiosity to
her neighbours front the singularity of her habits,
which were principally characterized by a close
adherence' to a rigid economy. She had lived
in the house in which site died fur seventy-five
years, and was possessed of a comfortable lode-
pendence. ller constant study, however, was
to " increase her store," and thus site was in-
duced to deny herself many of those in cessaries
which her advanced age demanded. She was
a subscriber to many charitable establishments,
and had several pensioners, to whom she al-
lowed front three-pence to a shilling per week.
She was, however, capticious in her ft iendships,
and the slightest appearance of extravagance lost
her good will for ever. Alany who hadcontri-
bitted 'to tender the evening of her days Comfort-
,ble, were not a little !nut tified to find that she had,
in disposing of her worldly property, totally for-
gotten them and their favours, and this too upon
rather an extraordinary pretext. In the good things
hicb they brought her, they had been coo
liberal iu the use of butter, of sugar, of eggs,
or some other ingredient, which shelved such
disposition to be extravagant, that it excit-
ed her silent disapprobation. Jhe was prudent
enough to relish the pleasing contributions to her
P,late, but the source from whence they taut: re-
maitted polluted in her mind- -

a number of persons ..rjaied by the Mine of at °allows.
but none by the eats of the military. The groans and the
shrieks he supposed proceeded from the pressure, and the
pressure front the entlearaurs of the multitude to get front
the field in consequence of the operations of the soldiers—in
consequence of the appearance of the soldiers, and not from
any act of theirs, certainly. Witness was pressed upon by
the crowd, but was not geriounly hurt. No one attacked or
cut at hits with a sword. lie bad no constable's staff that
day; never told any body that be had ; never told tin) body
that his hat was cut at that day, and that he saved himself
from a second blow by holding up a coustatile's staff. lie hail
never told any brother reporter, that on his producing n
constable's staff, the soldier who that day cut at hint, said
" you, why did yan not shave that before ?" lie never
told that to any one. Had told some one that he wan comity;.;
to York as a witness for the Crown, or against Mr. Hunt.
He might have said either. Never told any one whets he got
into the withess-hox, lie would do Hutt. loterrogated re-
spectiog a statene•rit, that " but for the humaility of Mr.
Nadir]. who had been 3o grossly calumniated, it was certain
that Hunt would out then have been alive, as sums of the
military had declared that they would cut him (Hunt) to
pieces." Witness admitted that he had written soar thing to
that effect ; could not reeallect who laid hitn that fact ; some-
body had tab' bite ea. He %Vas told to go between the time
of the Meetting and twelve ii'cloels at night, hut by whom he
could not rte./Meet. It sttitek willies+ as a very forcible thing,
hot he could scared, believe it, hr sanifeesed. lie did not
think it poesible. but had written that the fact Was certain,
on the infOrmation which he had received. He put in the
word " certain," not on his own account, but as the fact hail
beta, related to bite. lie ems employed by the reoprietors of
71/4,- New Witness knew Dr. Stoddert ; one of therm
was to tel<uion to hire. Upon a question front Mr. Hunt as
to witares's knowledge of an indictment al:animist Dr. Stoitilart
for a hliel, iireatte tiereone to aneassiiiate Mr. Hunt, wititese
said he knew of Ire exatterice of an indictment of a libel, but
nut for such a purpose as that charged by Mr. Hoot. Witness
did not write the libel for winch his employer wan indicted.—
The attention of witness was neat directed by the examiner
tai a part of his letter from M .Itieliester, which read as fal-
laws ;—" This set etch, who tai Si often and so inrulently
threatened, that in the hour of trial he would not be found
ellinlkitig, but would be foremost to encounter danger, and to
perish in the cause he had espoused t he who when no soldier
was near, opened his breast and called oil tine soldiers to
' tire !'—tie hat did he now ? The grin of malice died away on
his quivering lip, ; the colour ,forsook his sallow cheek ; Inc
seemed ready to sink into the earth with fear, and he yielded
at onceau the toad) Of a constable, 1.011 happy to feel himself
under the protection of the lases, though it was hut as a cri-
'Maid." ft aas true that Hunt had turned pale, but he
(witness) had nothing to du v.ith the garnishing of the
passage. Witness dared to say, that he himself might turn
pale. Could nut say Abe made Hunt turn pair. His rale-
Use occurred before the groans and shrieks were heard.—
Wit tress saw some wounded; none carried away in carts, and
did nut hear of arty. It was true that he (Hunt) had sur-
rendered at once tin the countable. It was rather a seizore
than a surrender. He saw no resistance offered. Thought
!font had been seized by Mr. Nadin, but did not speak posi-
tively, as he himself was Ulm] bring driven off the field. Saw
part of the Yeomanry go to the back of the hustings. Saw
nobody wounded. Did not see Nadi,' seize Hunt. Saw hint
seize Johnson by the legs-, and perceived him about to seize
Hunt, (as he supposed), when he (witness) was obliged to
take hie eyes front the hustings, and when he looked Tumid
again, Fiala was in custody.
By Bamford—Received information occasionally from Mr.
at the Manchester Police Office; he had that confi-
dence in Mr. Nadin, that infarmatioil obtained. from his was,
in his opinion, of sufficient impurtance to induce hint to send
it off by express to London. It was not Irons Mr. Nadin
that he received information of the intention of the military
to cut Mr. Hunt to pieces ; had received no information from
Mr. Milne ; had been with Mr. Cowper, the accountant, at
his own house, and in the street; the information ire ques-
tion he had nut obtaitied from him; he did not communi-
cate to Mr. Hunt that there had been an intention to assassi-
nate hint.
By Swift—Witness never saw him (Swift) before the Man-
chester Meeting. He referred to hint (Swift) where be stat-
ed sonic one to have addressed the people, exhorting them
to abstain from violence, to show their enemies they were
not mad.
Ite-extemined by Mr. Scarterrr—Did not know of an indict-
ment for tiny libel exciting any body to murder Mr. Hunt ;
he knew that there was an indictment, and that it charged
Dr. S.. with private malice; hr rather thonglit that the libel
related to what took place between Mr. Hunt and Mr. Dowl-
ing at the Westminster Election; had seen no article in the
Sew Time, to encourage persons to murder Mr. Hunt; could
take upon himself to say, that none such had appeared.—
Witness did clot, when at St. Peter's-field, remain ur one place
all the time of the meeting ; he had left the meeting and re-
turned; other persons than those Ire had named might hare
'pollsters iu the course of the day; he gent to the Arrow Time:
an account of what he had seen, and of what he had been told
that he thought entitled to credit;"had never used the expres-
sions imputed to trim in coliversatiun with Mr. Tyas or Mr.
Fitzpatrick; at the time witness described John Tyas to be
one of the delinquents he did not know him to Inc merely a
Reporter from a London Newspaper ; Ire bad never seen air.
Tyas before the Hirt) of August. '
James Platt examined by Mr. Serjeant FluLtoex—was
police-officer of Manchester; was at St. Peter's-field on the
morning of the ltah August ; saw Healey there at the head of
a party who approached by Peter-'street; -Healey went in or
on to the cart that was there ; he, thought he saw him in the
act of addressing the people; the party drew up round the
cart; described the taming of 'sir. Hunt with another party;
saw Baiiiford on tine hustings:
Cross-examined by 13ainford—Saw him (Mr. Bamford) on
the hustings, after the arrival of Mr. Hunt, shouting and
waving his hat; thotight the shouts to be one of defiance to
the constables rather than- of joy ; had seen many public
meetings' but never one like that on the 161 h August. Wit-
ness had been brought up to the fustian trade; had since
been a Gentlieutti's servant, bad been to the Bank of Eng-
land with infortnation* about forged notes; was never ac-
cused of passing any. •
Thomas Hardtnan gave evidence astotheaprecantions taken
against the Cavalry, the military order in which the divisions
advanced, with their sticks, shouldered like muskets. Ilan%
in eross-examining hint, allied, as be had accompanied Mr.
Hay to London, whether he gave the same information to
Government ? This question was at first objected to, but air.
Justice Bailey ruled that it ought to be answered.
Joseph Green !lewd orders given to the people to stand six
yards from the hustings, otherwise they would give their ene-
mies an opportunity of rushing in with their cavalry and their
corruption. He also corroborated the evidence of tine other
witnesses respecting the military order, .Sic. oilserved tin the
occasion.
John Ellis, bookseller, in Manchester, -gave ceidenee to
the same effect. .
William Hutton, Esq. a Magistrate of Manchester, was exa-
mined by Mr. Scaneerr—ls a Magistrate of the cnonty of
Lancaster, was. at Manchester on the 16th; the Magistrates
met brat at the Star Inn ; from thence they proceeded to the
house of a Mr. Button, from whence they might See the
meeting; went there between ten and eleven; he took de-
positions, and also took an opportunity of seeing what passed;
as Chairman of the two counties, Inc• was mach engaged
writing ; went once to the window, and sass large bodies of
men corning from' various quarters; the first column be ob-
served Caine with music, banners, and apparently divided
into sectiuns, with persons who marched by their side, and
wino from time to time gave words of command. The other
bodies were at too great a distance for him to hear. They ap-
pruached in a most remarkable wanner; they did not march
straight up to the • hustings, but wheeled upon receiv-
ing the word of command; generally the heads of the
culunuts atilt tip to the hustings, do posited their colours
there, and in doing Sr., were always met by the buzzas
'of those who 'had pit riously -arrived; having deposited the
colours, they retired, he believed, to a particular circle round
the Hustings, to allow the others to approach with more
ease ; they were beautifully exact in corning up to the Hust•
lags ; could nut (Abseil ce the last eulumn that came wit h
Hutt ; but that which canine from rke other side of St. Peter's-
field from Nlasley-street advaticed with particular precision ;
this Lot, he thought, was in number 4 or i 000; there was
music, but he heard no drums. Witness particularly ob-
served the approach of the burly in which Hunt was: observ-
ed the carriage; heard the persons in it were. Hunt, John-
son, Carlile, and lalourliou,e; the noise made when Hunt
arrived fiat drew Liar to the window; the Magistrates
wished to form a line of eutostishies from where they were to
the Hustings; sane distinctly persone in the attitude of
addressing on the Hustings ; Helot was attelided by im-
mense nowhere ; could see the whole of the area, wilt
the exception of one corner; could nut form a conjec-
ture himself as to the numbers present; IlerCr saw SO
gre,tt a crowd ; those who calculated and 111011 M-tit the space,
estimated them front fifty to sixty thousand; they were va-
riously estimated; in hie judgment the crowii was calculated
to inspire, and did inspire, fear into the town of Msaue j

TRIAL OF MR. HUNT AND OTHERS.

TIIIRD DAY.—(Cnncludeci.)

Henry Orion's Evidence concluded front yesterday's Paper.
Cross-examined by Mr. Hunt—Had attended the Meeting
for no purpose, but to report the proceedings to One of the
London Papers. The account that had appeared of the Meet-
ing was his. He did not swear that it was his, verbatim, but
it was to the same effect as the account which he had sent.
It was not usual to doctor-up reports in the shop, or to alter
the tenor of what was sent, though in some a change might
he made in the language, and errors arising from the hurry of
writing corrected. Witness had no other occupation than
that of corresponding with the London and Country Newspa-
pers. Had no business at Manchester but that which was
connected with the meeting. He had arrived in Manchester
ON the Saturday night preceding the 16th of August. lie sent
for accounts which appeared in the New Times in the course
of the following week. He wished the Police to obtain infor-
mation, but never to give any; he had given none at all; he
had never been employed by MC. Milne, nor by the Solicitor
to the treasury; he had never heen scot to Halifax, nor had
he ever been there hilt as he ps,sed tlnautgh on his way to
Yorh; he had communicated wills no London Newspaper but

one ; some articles had been communicated to the Paper he
was connected with by another Correspondent at Manches•
ter, but by whom he did not know; h had written but that
which came under his own rye, or svuj brought under his
own knowledge. His article was not utade up front the Ite•
ports of his brother Reporters. He had sustained no injory
from being one of Mr. Hunt's lockees; no attempt had keen
made to pull front his hack the coat he had on. On retiring
froM the Meeting, be wrote an account of the procuedings
immediottly, hut omitted, i,i the hurry of the moment, the
word; of Mr. limit, " put him down, and keep him down."
The account was written immediately, and sent, without
being read over, by ait express to town. lie left that part of
the speech out in his haste. Subsequently, he sat down and
wrote, from recollection, what had passed. Did not know,
till the Paper reached Manchester, that he had omitted the
words in question. It was not his practice, in a common way,
to omit things of importance, and send trivial matters to his
employers. He recollected the words before he saw them in
any Newspaper, and on the very day of the Meeting. Did not
tend to correct the report, from the pressure of other matters
of itnliortance. It certainly did not strike the witness, on
bearing the words referred to, that Mr. Hunt had wished any
,persons to be put to death. Did not know that what he had
said of some persons saying sumethin about killing was not
e%idence. The expressions which had been used by Mr. Hunt
did Hot refer to the military. Witness was very near Mr.
;runt at that time ; did not see him point to any one at that
time; had be pointed to the soldiers, and said to the people,
"• There are your enemies ; put them down, and keep them
down," witness must most certainly have heard it. Witness
bad not his original notes with him. He lost the notes taken
on the field on the day of the Meeting; he wrote from them
the account he sent to London; he lost them in the office of
Mr. Retty, Solicitor, in Manchester, where he bad written ;
could not find them afterward:,; bad not brought down the
original manuscript that he had sent to the New Times;
did not know that that was lost; did not refresh his memory
br refet rat• to his manuscript, because he could do that by
referring to the printed account, which did not differ in
effect, in any fact, from the manuscript; did not hear or are
Mr. Huht in the course of the day say or do aught to encou-
rat.,:e the people to commit acts of violence.

Here lfr. Hunt handed to the witness rt London Morning
Paper of the 18th August, 1819, and referred him to the fol-
lowing passages;--" It was within a few minutes of one
o'clock when Hunt reached the hustings. He w•as said to be
accompanied by Wooler, but I could nut see the Black Dwarf,
nor do I believe he was there ; but Johnson, Mourhouse,
Saxt•n, Swift, and Tyas, were in the barouche, on the box of
which was seated a profligate amazon, named Mary Water-
worth, bearing the standard of the Stockport Female Reim-
mers." Witness could not swear to the truth of this state-
ment. He•had asked the names of the persons who came
with Mr. Hunt, and was told that they were what he had
written. He was told that Tyas was one of the persons. He
did not know Tyas at that time. He could not swear that
Saxton veal one of them. Ile had written from information,
what he had received at the time. He did nut recollect see-
ing Saxton on the hinting.. The name of the female he had
obtained, at he did the other names. Be was not told that
was a profligate female. He put that word himself, and
thought her appearance justified the application of it. Never
saw a lady present colours at the head of A regiment.
Thought the word he had used justified by the circumstances
ut the case.

Mr. Hunt next directed witness's attention to the follow•
ing sentences in the same publication:—

.4 The soldiers advanced and surrounded the hustings, when
Mr. Nadirs, with the utmost resolution, seised hold of John-
son first, then of Hunt, and afterwards of several others, whom
he handed to hie assistants, and the latter carried them all
to the New I3ailey. The bansters were the next objects to
which the police officers directed their attention, and with
very little resistance they gut possession of the whole of them.
The scene that now ensued was truly awful ; the shrieks of
women and the groans of men were to be heard at some dis-
tance. Every person who had attended out sof curiosity, finding
his personal safety at risk, immediately fled; and where was
then the boasted courage of these mad-headed Reformers?
They were seen retreating in all directions with the utmost
speed. The crush was so great in one part of the Geld that it
knocked down some out-buildirgs at the end of a row of
houses, where there were at least twenty or thirty persons,
with an immerse crash. As I was carried along by the crowd,
I saw seretal almost buried in the ruins, while others, in their
anxiety to escape, had unfortunately fallen down, and were
trampled on by the populace, many of them to death. A
feeling of suave que peat appeared now to fill the mind of
avery body, and the result is nut yet known. The Yeomanry
Cavalry arrived on the ground at full speed. They took their
position under the wall of The Cottage,' a well known
building so called, where they remained in line about five
minutes, during which time I believe the Riot Act was read,
inintedir.tily after which they took Mr. Hunt into custody, in
the manner I have already stated. file Yeomanry were sup-
ported by the 15111 Hussars. Among the Spulics Opizna, they
say, are to he reckoned sixteen banners with seditious in-
sc. iptious, and six caps of Jacubinism. The caps of Jacuhi-
ni.ni were red caps of Liberty, inscribed Henry Hunt, Esq.
The cop Wai more jacohioical than the motto. 13oth the co-
lour and the shape led witness to give them that name. Had
lo,i;ed over that hall; if he did so, and saw asap of liber-
ty, be should call it a lacobinical emblem, if it were carried
as thasa ware which Lad beers seen at Manchester. Saw

Mr. Justice BA YI.LY—I did lira see him.
Witness heard no shout ,of defiance directed towards the
constables ; understood it to be un Hunt's Arrive' e this ap-
plause had some influence oil witness to sign the warrant, be-
cause he (Hunt) brought a great accession of strength when
be arrivsul. He was President of the Committee of Magis-
trates. The warrant was signed by himself and other :Ma-
gistrates. The depositions on which it was granted arrived in
suceassion ; several arrived in .the course ef.the morning.--
Did not recollect precisely when the first was made ; it might
be at half-past eleven or half-past twelve o'clock. Speaks
now of 441)44.16u/is for the greet al alarm of the tewu ; the
last deposition was made after lie (Hunt) mounted the
hustings ; thinks the person evlso signed the last deposition
was Owen; is certain it was Owen, the pawnbroker; it was
after he (Hunt) mounted the Hustings; is quite lute that
deposition was made after the these the carriage drew up, and
the persons in it had got out. Witness has nut got the War-
rant delivered it into the coustable's
Lhands; believe' it
usual to deliver a warrant to the Magistrate after it is exe-
cuted ; but this was signed by other .Nlagistrete;s of longer
standing than himself; does not recollect the precise testis
of the 'entrant; pare it to Nadir], or one of the chief con-
stables, that he might execute it ; believes it was directed
against Hutt, Nloorleouse, Knight, and others; the deposi-
tion olOweit was made before it wal.granted; he had a strong
idea that it would be a task of difficulty to execute it beim e
it was given toNadirt; does not know that any api licatims
Wss made of the people to open a way for the constables up to
the hustings; it was never proposed to :guy of the :Magis-
trates but hitless:lf to sign the warrant; was limier in the army :
