their plans into effect, it was stated that thsy tight re'y on get-1
ting over a great pan of the foot soldiers to join them ; but shat
they could place tits dependetice on the cavalry. For his part he
did not believe that they hail the slightest foundation for any
hope of the kind ; for, although there might be some unprinci-
pled_ and wicked men anion all classes of society, he moll never
littlish that any considerable number of the military would be so
I criminally forgetful of their ditty, as to tern the c arins,,ln cora-
bination with :robots, against thee- King and country. It Was,
however, a part of the plan that the cavalry, on which ro depen
deuce could he placed, was to he attacked. 'They were to begin
with the cavalry barracks in Porde:M.o4re, and these barracks
were to be burnt. Watson being. in consequence of his proles•
stun, skilled in chemistry, and well acquainted with the qualities I
of combustible materials, was desired to make a calculi:don re-
specting the quantity of matetisis that might be necessary, and
the expense of them ; and it was then stated, that these combos.
tildes would not merely bunt the barracks, but destroy the sol-
diers, by stifling diem before they could leave their rooms. The
only question of difficulty was, how the combustibles could be db•
posed of, until the time came for using them, This difficulty was
soon removed; it was agreed that a house should he taken con. I
tiguous to the spot, on pretence of convening It into an oil shop,
to which barrels of tar, pitch, and other combustibles night be I
conveyed without so ipicion. They found out a house In Sey-
Mour-street They repaired to the owner, a respectable Gen. I
thitran of the name of Coster, residing in Milbank street, West. I
minster, who had no notion of the use to which the house, was
to be convened, and who Was referred t 6 Thistlewood, in South- I
amptombuildings, for the character of the person who was to .
take the house. Mr. Cosser went to make Inquiry respecting this
reference, anti when he found that Thistlewood was ooly a lodger,
he would not let the house to the parties; and for that reason
only it was not taken, and the ocher scheme was abandoned--
The panics then baying given up the plan of the house, agreed
to have a number of pike-heads made ;—airtl Castle was
appointed to go to a person from whom he could obtain a
pattern of a pike-bead. He was desired to say to the per-
son that It was wanted to form part of an Iron fence, which was
to inclose a rabbit warren; the name of the person was Bentley.
He had nomapicion as to the object the parties had In view, and
he gave a pattern of one of those lostruntents,wbbh he supposed
was intended to form part of a 'fence. When this should be
pi aimed in Court, it world be found to be a terrible instrument
of death, and even of war. An order was' then given for 250
pikes. to be made exactly resenthfing the pattern in question .
they were made at Bentley's work-shop, and taken away by
young Watson and Castle, and carried by them to Watson's
lodging to Hyde-street. Castle did not afterwards know what
became of those pikes, but a most extraordinary dreum,tance
respecting them would be shewn in evidence, by wokh it "meld
appear, that after Watson bad left his lodgiogs In Hyde-street,
a privy belonging to the house was searched and emptied, and In
it were found 199 pikes, exactly resembling those which Bent-
ley had been ordered to make. It Is not necessary for me to
enter into a minute detail in turther explanation regarding these
pikes, or pike heads, but 1 now come to a most important fact.
Something like at: organization was agreed upon. and the pri-
soner, with others. whom you have heard banned, were each
appointed to their respective °dices. Thiniewsed was to have
the matlnaod; Watson, sen. was to be snood; Hooper third;
Castle-fourth:, Watson,jun. was to be fifth; and Preston, who
was late, bad the last poet assigned him. It was agreed upon
at a. Moeda& held by these parties, on the 10th of November,
that an lawmen= should take plies on the drat assembly It
Epafields. This. however, was abandoned; and it was merely
deterautted upon to congregate the people togs: her, for Ike per

alluded to was called, but it was Mond necessary to have a
leader, and in consequences Mr. Hunt, who lived ha the country,
was applied to. I di) not believe, however, that the Teal purpose
of the bleiting was made koown.te that Cientlentan, but that it
was represented to be, as I beim/awl, the CAN of the distressed

King and Constitution of them realms—whether they did, not
compass and imagine the. King's death--and whether they did
rat tontnire to levy war and compel the ring to change his
measured But before I come to what occurred at Spi Fields on
the 2d of December, I should observe, that on Saturday the 30th
of November, It was agreed that different persons were to go to
different parts ef the town, and a plan *as arranged by which
particular divisions were marked out. name were to be at
London &Mgt —same at one side of the Tower, and some at
another. And heretl mint bring to your notice a most singular
thing. as a decisive proof and confirmation of a plan of operations
having been arranged. I have already told you, that when Mr.
Watson, sen. was taken, on the night of the 2il of December, a
paper, purporting to cantata the names of a Committee of Public
Safety was found upon him. I will further chew you, that io
' pocket a'so was found a paper, which Is obviously and mani-
festly a sort of plan of Intended operations ; and from which it is
clear that the 1 ower and the Batik were the principal object* of
attack. 'The paper found in his packet was this:—
" Smiths (meaning black-smith), Westminster-road, to form
three dlvi ions, and collect as great a number as possible together,
and meet the I.eisdon division at the London mad, and proceed
to the Old Mine; Paddington, troprocted to St. Gies's.— aorrie
cad° each street to Holborn Bars, and the approaches to T. B.
(meaning Temble Bar).—haricado Chaticei y-aane seal Carey-
street. St. Olin', division to barricade as far as St, Andrew's,
Holborn, to include Chancery-lane; 3d, fitay's-liin-lane; it h,
lehn-street. and Old4treet; Sth, N'tuterbapel; 7th, Bank; Bth,
Picket-street." •

This paper thus enumerating points of eo-operation, was found
in Mr. Watson's pocket oo the night of the ild of December,
when he was t.teu is the attempt to quit London. Every divi-
sion was settled, and agreed upon au the Ist of December, at
Greystoke-place. Ac Nast divisions very muck similar to those
I have read. It will also appear, I think, that at this Meeting a
map of London was produced, in order to exploits and facilitate
the count of peoneding agreed upon to be pursued on Monday,
the lid of December, which as you will observe, was convened in
pursuance of the infammatory advertismtmt I have already read
to you. mat Meeting had been adjourned from the 15th of No-
venlber, and it was expected of course, that Mr. Hunt amulet
tonne sad address the suembly, not as Chairman, but as one of
the persons who was desirous of empreising his sentiments.
Whether it was hi consequence of any thing which Mr. Hunt

ra conspitors, hiusever, thought it more advantageous for their
