ple. Not only the Learned Counsel, but the Cora
aer, tells the witness he is suspected:
Cotton-ea.-4 have a right to say so; a Judge can
give his opinion of it witness.
Mr. Hwassza.—No Judge in England would say
so to this winless.
Conormn.—l only made a general observation.
Mr. ASHWORTH, having asked a few more ques-
tions of the same nature, folded up his arms, flung
himself back in his chair, and said, Sir, I don't ask
you another question." •
The Cononen repeated questions of a similar im-
port with those he had-before asked.
James Glover, a tavern-keeper in Manchester, was
caked by Mr, ASHWORTH.
Mr. Ilmusta, having learnt from the witness him-
self, that he was a special constable, and acting on
the 16th, objected to his evidence. It was in evi-
dence that special constables struck John Lees with
their truncheons, and a verdict of, wilful murder
might therefore be found against them.
Mi. Asnwoftrit contended, that when queitions
were risked upon the °fur dire, he had a right to set
Up the evidence again by asking questions as to the
facts. Suspicion was no objection to a witness's evi-
dence. Eva} when an indictment is laid against se-
veral person!, and the evidence does not apply to
any one of them, he becomes a competent witness.
He was confident that such a foolish objection Could
have no weight.
Mr. HARMER.—It Cs for the Jury to say, wber
the evidence is sufficientrespecting the constals
have mide my objection it is for you to decide.
' The Coaossa asked the witness if he had a trun-
cheon-that day?. and being answered in the affirms-
tive,liesitited for a considerable time to give an
opinion. 1
Mr. ASHWORTHI pledge my experience, Which
has been considerable, that the objection has no weight.
CORONER.-1 am of opinion that he is a competent
witness, but that it is better to defer his testimony till
other witnesses are examined upon the proceedings.
Mr. Asirsvoftrit.—You are quite right, Sir.
Hush Williamson was next called by Mr. HARMER.
CoßoNEß.—What do you know of the death of
John Lees? I know nothing of it.
,CORONER.—What is this witness to prove?
Mr. HARMER, having got the witness removed,
said, that he understood the witness would prove ex-
pressions used by the Yeomanry as they were riding
into the field.
The CORONER said, that was not evidence, unless
he had seen these same Cavalry at the hustings. He
called back the witness, however, and asked him
some questions. Where were you standing? Near
St .Peter's Church, at the end of Moseley-street.—You
were not upon the field at all ? No.--What did you
see, then ? I saw the Manchester Yeomanry Cavalry
galloping towards the field.—Did you see them enter
the Meeting ? No.
Cononxa.—This is no evidence.

Mr. HARMER—I submit it is evidence. These
Yeomanry Cavalry were identified by other witnesses
at the hustings ; and this witness can give evidence
respecting them as they were going towards the field.
CORONER—It is not evidence, as he did not see
them near the hustings.
Mr. HARMER asked the witness, u Did you hear
any of the Manchester Yeomanry Cavalry, who were
riding towards St. Peter's-field, say any thing 7'
CORONER-1 will not allow that tiucation to leo an-
swered.

Mr. HARMER—! desire that question to be taken
down.

Conoutu—Why should it be taken down? It k
not evidence.

Mr. Asnw•oaru—There is a deliberate system of
insult carried on. You have decided again and again,
that no evidence shall be received which does not ap-
ply to what was done near the hustings, and yet, with
a pertinacity belonging to the object in view, evidence
is tendered contrary to that decision.
Mr. Ha RNER—I desire the question refused to be
taken down, as the foundation of future measures. I
bow to the decision of the Coroner; but he is respon-
sible, and I call for the means of making him respon-
sible for the decision.
Mr. Asnworaii—This is not to be endured. I will
not be borne down by noise'and clamour.
Mr. HARMER—Nor I.

Mr. A9HWORTH—I will not enter into altercation.
You have decided that it is not evidence.

Mr. HAaMta—.l tender his deposition, as I have
done with several other depositions.
CORONER—You first ask questions of a witness, and
then tender the-deposition
Mr. HARMER. The questions were only preliminary.
CoaoNea—The depositions ought to be at once put
in when a witness is called. I never knew an In-
quest conducted like this.
Mr. HARMER—Neither have I.

CORONER—During 20 years that I have been Co-
roner, I have not met with so much interruption.
Mr. ASEIWORTH—Let Mrs. Lees be called, to shew
that this Gentleman from London has no authority
to interrupt the proceedings.
[Mrs. Lees, step-mother of the deceased, Robert
Hall, salesman, of Salford, and Mr. Entwisle,attor-
ney, underwent a long examinatior., for which see
the STAR of yesterday.l
Mr. Entwistle, in continuation, stated that the mob
were in that state, that it was not prudent for any
respectable person to be seen amongst them. After I
had been to the New Bailey, I went home about four
o'clock ; was on the ground from half-past eleven till
Mr. Hunt was taken to the New Bailey. Not until
I saw stones and brick. bats thrown did I think of
danger, but I then thought so. I believe some of the
Cheshire Yeomanry Cavalry were spon the ground ;
they came from Peter-street, the Windmill, and
Mount-street; they were on the ground before
Hunt Was taken. Could see them in line, waving
their swords in the air, but did not see any individual
struck all the time. Could not see the Cheshire Yeo-
manry Cavalry upon the ground until the others had
charged; they then came, and not knowing them, I
joined the Constables. Did not perceive any stop-
page in the Manchester Yeomanry, betwixt Buxton's
house and the stage. Could nett see what the Man-
chester Yeomanry did upon their arrival at the hus-
tings. Did not hear any address to the Manchester
Yeomanry from Mr. Buxton's house, or any other.
Saw Mr. Norris and Messrs. Moore and Andrews
walling amongst the crowd, but did not hear them
speak to any body; was previous to Mr. Hunt's
until Heard no Riot Act read, neither heard 11
