CiIgSTER, APRIL 10.

TRIAL OP SIR CHARLES WOLSELEY AND
PARSON HARRISON.
Our last Report left Harrisog about to commence
the reading of Bentham's-Remarks. After be had
gone through several pages, he was persuaded, by
' some Gentlemen who stood near him, not to proceed
further in their perusal ; but he observed, " I like
these remarks; they-are free, and I like freedom; I
look upon them as a help lent me by PROVIRRNCR.
-shall however, come to a close: My cause, Gentle-
men, is in youi hands. Thad a great deal to say, but,
to accommodate friends, f shall-not make the obser-
vations I intended. My cause, I say, is in your hands :
there may be Some doubts in your minds, and by the
'law of the laud you will give the benefit of them to
the defendants. It cuts me to the heart to think
upon the conduct of some Juries in this part of the
country. It has struck me that theytake too little.
time to consider of the fate to which their verdict
roomy consign a party; even six months imprison-
ment would be a serious loss to me ; but you cannot
convict me without forfeiting your oaths. I ask no
favour ; I only want justice, and I demand it. But
what if the Jury have beforehand made up their
minds ? Why, rather had I bear what I must stiffer
on account of their errors, than see the glorious
tight of Trial by Jury done away. If you find me
guilty, look at what will be my fate ; taken from
my family, without the comforts of a letter, unless
liable to be opened, as you have seen done this day,
without my leave : not that it contained anything.,
improper, but let it be on ever such secret business,
it would be the same. What I have said, has never
been fairly reported that is, no Reporter ever wholly
followed.me throughout any one of nry speeches.---;
Ido not know if the Learned Counsel for the
nourable Baronet intends to bring forward evidence
against evidence; but for myself I wish to do so.
If I do not bring forward evidence, my enemies will
say I had none; and not producing it, may perhaps
tell their Lord hips that's enough to prove me guilty.
shall leave the case where it is; I know there will
be a verdict, and I hardly know whether it will con-
cern me much whether it be one of 'guilty or Not
Guilty. Ido not despair; my heart knows not des-.
pair ; and whether the verdict be for me or against
me, I say, the will of the LORD be done!"
Witnesses were. then called on the part of Sir
Charles Wolseley.
Jeremiah Garnett was a Reporter to Whaler's Manthesfer Clow-
%ids at the time of the Stockport Meeting. That is called a
Ministerial paper. Attended to report the proceedings there.
Has no doubt ii,ooo persons were present. There was one cir-
cumstance which alarmed him about the Meeting; a 'person in
the employ of Mr. Nadia was kaocised down; that was before
Sir Charles Wolseley came. He felt no other alarm.
Did yea hear the words from Sir Charles Wolseley, " Unite
your strength, for in a few weeks the struggle will be made and
—ledr —I did rot.

To prevent literary piracy (tae Press being a most radical

as the Act directs, at Stationers' Hall.
Whether it be consigent with good taste to bring upon the
public stage a represehtation of modern political events, is a
matter of critical opinion; it is perhaps bett:T avonled. The
subject in the shape now offered, is a Narrative, which in its
.progress h.ls been tuind so sufficiently hitt:resting, as to derive
little aid from fiction.

acaseh most
for, if that had been a case for conviction, the pre-
sent case was a case ten times stronger. There we: e, '
in the present case, all the concomitants of the other
case, with the addition of the seditious words. The
Jury were not to look at the acts of this Meeting
separately, one by one, as they had been dissected by
Mr. Pearson ; but they were to take them altoged er,
to take them as a whole. For the talents of Mr.
Jeremy Bentham he had high respect ; but the lucu-
brations of that writer could have nothing to do with
the metier of fact and evidence before the Jury. He
(Mr. Ben; on) would, as a lawyer, state to the Jury
that any expressioas tending to bring into contempt
any single branch of the Government were seditious
expressions. Now, what were the expressions which-
had been made use of at this Meeting! The Learned
Counsel then proceeded to state the language which
had been employed by the defendant..
Mr. Harrison wished that the Judge would con-
fine Mr. B.enyon to what had been proved in evidence.
Mr. PARK repeated and enforced what had been
said by Mr. Harrison.
The CHIEF JUTriCE read his note of the evidence
of. Harrison's expression' that he would not recom-
mend petitioning the Lola iu the present corrupt
state of things.
Mr. BENTON continued. The second count, with
respect to the conspiracy, was, he thought, made cut
in a variety of ways; proved by the meeting between
the pa: ies previous to the assembly ; proved by
what passed at the assembly, not only with respect
to the Meeting in question, but also with respect to
a subsequent Meeting at Oldham. The Learned •
Gentleman then read several parts of the evidence,
and contended that the allusion to the Sovereign was
clearly seditious ; and the _import was to bring the
Government into contempt. Sir Charles Wolseley,
by standing silent next to Mr. Munson, was equally
guilty of sedition in point of law, sense, and fact.
But Sir Charles Wolseley uttered seditious expres-
sions in comparing Sandy Brow to the famed field of
Waterloo, and talking of destroying ifastiles in Eng-
land. Sir-Charles Wolseley, unconnected with poll-
tics, was a Gentleman of great respectability, for-
tune, and private virtue, but his allusion to the Bas-
tile could only mean a wish for the commencement
of revolution in this country. The language of Mr.
Burke had no resemblance to this expression. Thaw
could be nci -doubt that poverty was the doom of
HEAVEN for the great majority of mankind ; but it
was not the part of a Clerical Divine to persuade men
that they were unhappy, by contrasting the will of
HEAVEN with the will of man. Mr. Harrison meant
to excite contempt and hatred of the Government.
The conspiracy took place at the Meeting, and that
a previous conspiracy was not necessary had been
ruled by his Lordship (Mr. Serjeant Marshall), with
the assistance of an able lawyer, his Majesty's pre-
sent Solicitor-General, in the case of Bagueley and
Drummond. An agreement at the Meeting, with-
out previous concert, was the evidence of conspiracy.
No man alive had greater veneration than he for .7er.
Justice Bayley; but he did not understand that that
Learned Judge had considered previous concert ne-
cessary to conspiracy. • Ile was, besides, supported
by the case of Bagueey. His Learned Friend (Mr.
Park), seemed to dissent from this application of
_.......e.camined.—The account in the Manchester Observer was Bagueley's case; but he would refer to the recollee-
given by witness : remembered Harrison saying it was as tin of his Lordship.
