snore called out, ". Murder" him, kill him ;" a person
then gave him a violent kick in the side, which de-
prived him of his senses for a few minutes; he then
get into the road out of the ditch, and saw them
round Murray ; he took a contrary direction, and
got off.
Cross-examined by Mr. Hunt.—Witness said he
was employed by the Police; some of the beadles
knew of his going to White Moss ; he did not ki.ow
4'll the defendants ; went with Murray to the orison
• of Lancaster, but did not know what his object was;
he saw none of the defendants at the drilling at the
Moss, which is a mile and a quarter over ; they left
a little after three; some of them were at their exer-
cise, and there were some by•standers, perhaps 20 :
he would swear there were not 100 ; he could heat
:to word of command but " right left, right left ;" he
was with Murray, who was a little in advance, and
might have heard something witness did not hear ;
he concluded they were teaching the awkward squad
to march: this was in-broad day-light; he thought
the lookers-on fell in before the beating ; witness was
not forced to fall in ; he gave them no hopes that he
would fall in ; others might have.been asked to do so
without his hearing it ; some were marching in files,
others in squads ; the latter did not seem very per-
fect in their marching, but others did; he heard par-
ties going very noisyly the whole of the night to
White Moss.

He described the advance of the Reformers to

M:mchester as it had been previously described.—
Some of them spoke to him,, and told him that if he
would go to Manchester, they would give him what
he bad been short of yesterday, (he had been beaten
on the day before). Witness went near to Smedley
Cottage, where he heard Mr. Hunt address a crowd
of three or four hundred people.
Cross.examined by Mr. Hunt—Should know one
of those who beat him again. The five men who
spoke to him on the road he had not recognized as
those by whom he had been ill used.
The people at White Moss woe doing soldiers ex-
ercise, to the left and to the right about. He saw no
sticks but those he was beaten with ; heard no word,
to fire ; was looking on three quarters of an hour
siva.; not asked to join them, but was at last attacked,
because they knew he would not fall into their ranks.
He saw Mr. Hula speaking from Smedley Cottage,
but heard nothing of what he said. He saw. Mr.
Hunt throw op the window and spea% ; that was
true, and ail that hr had 'fated was as true as that.
Examined by Mr. SCA RLET -•••• Knew Air. Hunt
by sight. The people training at White Moss were
marching all the time he saw them, but not whilst
they were beating him.
A pager being produced,
Mr. Husr hoped this paper would not be allowed
to be read. The paper was posted in Manchester,
stating the intended Meeting to be illegal.
The 3CDGE said, it was not said 6;4 swore he
knew of it, but it might be of importance that it
should be read, ^ i account of th.a bearing it might
'have on the ether clenklants. _

The parser was then real It was the ilacard

not take place.—Adjeurne,l at six o'clock.
