Mr. Anthony Byrne, were the most active ; and their efforts
to preserve the peace and to prevent violence were always
successful. One would imagine that a person, from whose
door a multitude of
enraged peasants, amounting perhaps
to 10,000 men, was withdrawn. without any—the smallest
injury being done to himself or his family, domestics or pro-
Perty, ought to feel largely indebted to those through whose
instrumentality such • step was accomplished. What then

Whitworth Butler, Esq. sworn.—ls son to Dr. Butler,
who holds the parish of Burneburch : was at home oo
the 20th of December last : early un that day heard shout-
ing, and the blowing of horns, at souse distance; continued
for nearly the whole day ; about two o clock saw a vase
number o people proceeding from Bennet's-bridge, to-
wards his father's tesidence ; a short thue after saw seven
or eight persons going towards the house from his father's
entrance gate; they went up to the house; had been
expecting their appearance ; when they reached the house,
his father from a window in front asked them what they
wanted ; as he could not hear their reply, he went down
to admit them • his father asked them in ; they declined,
and he was again inquiring what they wanted, when wit-
ness saw a crowd going down the avenue, which made him
draw in hts father and fasten the door ; saw the traverser
Lthuselflekl, who was one o the swede or eight who fi.vt went
down ; NOISY. say he saw Mr. Byrne ; the crowd .night con-

time from the window what they wanted ; after some time a
reply was given that they came to demand a reduction of tithe
from witness's father ; Ourieg this titre the crowd was shout-
ing and flourishing sticks vet burls, aid out, no tithes.
Mr. B. was aurora the trued at the time; Le wt.!' ore step
off his father's door, and one of the seven or tight who made
the answer to witness's father; the reply co his :attar to
that answer was, :se had aot the power to make the laws, nei-
ther had those who made the demand, and that le Duerr had
or would oppress any person in the collection of his tithe;
this was mired with a groan ; the people said they would
have an answer ; I said they had one, end that my faller
would exact tithe as long as the law allowed him; I thch
closed the wioclows. thinking the people world go away ;
shortly after 1 heard some person addressing thew, Wi:C.ll 1
looked out and saw Mr. Blanclideld standing on the window
stool in front of the house :oldreasin6 the people; could bear

t.ot give. any ratisfacrioa, he would propose a resolution to
them ; the reanimation was, that they should not pay 1it..03

thew ; he said, whoever Is of this opinion, will say aye,
arch those who were not would say no; five or 1111 said
no; I said I was glad to see some honest persons in the

Judge Johnson remarked that this was quite unpae.
liamentary.
The leaders seemed not by any means satisfied with that;
I believe none of those, at has,. the travtrsers were not pa.
rishioners. Mr. Blanchikld I.:itl nms, have been
some mistake as to the noes. He s:11 he wrald pu. the
question again, and that not to pay was what they kn. a
