YORK, THURSDAY NIGIITI
The Court was but thinly attended in Ilk early
part of the morning. At nine ecloct theyroceed-
ings were resumcd.
John Earnshaw was called, but being
could not be sworn.

The Junin (having referred to the Act) decided,
that evidence in criminal cases could not be received
on the affirmation of a Quaker.
Mr. Hunt had thought that the testimony of a
Quaker could be received on his solemn affirmation,'
which, if false, would expose him to a prosecution
for perjury. He, however, did not wish the exami-
nation of Earnshaw, as he could call persons who
were with him to prove the facts he had been called
to establish.

James Brettaigh, a wharfingor, residing at Pendleton, was
with Mr. Earnshaw and another Member of the Society of
Friends, in a room looking over the Meeting, on the 16th. Bu-
siness was not stopped, and nobody expressed alarm to him on
the subject of the Meeting, nor did he feel any himself. If he
had• felt any alarm, he .should have stopped his own teams,
which proceeded to their destination as on another day. The
processions be bad seen were accompanied by many decently
dressed women (apparently wearing their holiday clothes) and
children. Saw.no large sticks or bludgeons. There might be
some common walking sticks, but nothing more. He must as-
suredly have seen their weapons had they carried anything more
than common walking sticks. Went to the Meeting. Was in
a romn in Windmill-row or Windmill-street, which overlooked
Peter's-held. Described assembling of the Meeting. He
beard " Gon save the King" played, and " Rule, Britannia," as
he thought, by the beating of the drum, and nothing disloyal in
the conduct of those who attended the Meeting. Witness did
not belong to any of the Unions for Reform. Thought the Meet-
ing the grandest eight he had ever seen in his life. Saw no
violence offered tQ Mr. kadin, or to any of the constables; saw
Mr. Hunt arrive; he was received with cheers, and the people
pulled off their hats when eon save the King" was played,
but the constables did net; 'heard Mr. Hunt speak as if corn-_
larding of something behind the hustings, said he (Mr: Hunt)
'then said, " If any person attempts so create a disturbance, put
hint down and keep him dowh." It was impossible that he
could !uric applied these Worefis to the militaq, fiii' they were
not in sight at the time. The advance of the tallitary caused
sane confusion, and • the people began to run. Mr. Hunt
cheered, and those wish him cheered, and ibis caused the people
to stand ;till etain ; basd.the military put 'themselves into line,
but saw no attempts to resist theta on the part of the people.
Witness never took Otis eyes off the military till they got round
the hustings ; they advanced in a canter or gallop; as fast as they
could go. Saw no. rides *stone* throws; could see the place
as well as lie coned see grit Court. .

I. Cross-iXatiffned by Mr. Saatitarrr:—Had lived at Pendleton,
.34 years. Witness shook a handkerchief fries - the window of
the room where lig was en the morning of the I:fleeting ; he did
'this on the arrival of hlr. Hint, and joined in 4te cheers then
,given. Could not say whether the bigger, tinier was given for
3lr. Hunt or for the st,lclier.. Witnets hod; aubsaibed a ore
pound note toWartLe Mr. 14u It's Election at'Pteston.
Re-examined by Mr. Hunt. —Sever saw Mr. Hunt till the
16th of Au:ru:t, when he came on the ground in the carrince.
Henry Astitirews (examined by. Mr. Hunt).--Had bees Mr.
Hunt's aervant nearly seven years; had accompanied Mr. Hunt
to many public Meetings, to the three treat ,Meetings at Spa-
fields, to those at Bristol and Bath, to the County Meetings of
Somersetshire and Wiltshire, and to Meetings in Palace-yard;
had heard that Mr. limit was a freeman of Bristol, and knew
that h- had property in Bath and at Cilaatonbury, in Somerset-
shire, where he (Mr. Hunt) was Lord of the sianor. Knew,
that Mr. Hunt had a farm t Wiltshire, when he attended the
Wiltshire Meetin:, and that he resided in Hampshire when he
attended the Meeting in that County. Knew that he (Mr.
Hunt) was a Liveryman of London, and that he was resident
in the City of Westminster when he attended Meetings there.
Went with Mr. Hunt to Manchester. Never knew of any riot
or breach of the peace at any of the Meetings, which he bad at-
tended with his master. Remembered the soldiers surrounded
the great Meeting .t Brannon-hill, in Bristol. The people
cf.se.. red the soldier , doing and coming, but this did not appear
to give the least offence. lie remembered Meeting some Horse
Guards ou returning from one of the Spa-fields Nleetings. Some
of the people hissed the solditrs, but Mr. Ilunt did not. He
rose and told the neap!, not to hiss the soldier., but to cheer
them. Remembered that this conduct was repeated on meeting
with other soldiers on the• same day ; went to the Spa-fields
Meeting on the 2d of December with Mr. Hunt ; all was fent:-
able and quirt; heard that morning of a riot in Snow-hill before
they got to Sp.rlielda; went with Mr. Hunt to Bullock Smithy;
proposrd going back, as the Maiii.hester Meeting was put oft
from the 6th to the 16th of ,August. Mr. Hunt trig ut on to
Stockport, where he slept at Mr. hioOrhouse's. Witness accom-
panied Mr. Hunt on the following day to Manchester. Itzcol-
lected that Mr. Hunt spoke to the people, and lamented that he
could not stay, as he must go back into the country on business,
but said he would return on the 16th. Witness held himself in
readiness to return with Mr. Hunt till the fullowing Wednesday,
when be.came to the stable, and said he had made up his mind
to stay over the 16th. He remembered the horse Dab; he was
dead, and buried at Preston; witness had seen his grave and
monument ; the horse was said to have been poisoned at the
Lancaster Assizes. had never known Mr. Hunt to excite the
people to violer.ce; knew that Mr. Hunt, in Elford, where he
was brought up, was considered the poor man's friend; had al-
ways encouraged industry.
[Mr. Scanasre rerr.arked. that in this call the usual practice
was revers.al, and the servant was called upon to give the mas-
ter a character. instead of the master being called upon to
speak to the character of the servant.]—Witness had never seen
Mr. fleet, or any of his Visitors intoxicated. Squire Whitroore,
and the Clergyman of the village, were the persons who visited
lihn most frequently ; his fellow-servant bad lived upwards of
six years under Lin present master ; had never before been a
witness in a Court of Justice.

Cross-examined by Mr. SerjeantLocr.—The
vant of whom he 1124 spoken wail not Bob; it was a female ;
she
was in York ; knew that his master had property in the vs-
rions places which bad been mentioned. Did not know that Mr.
Hunt had any property at Manchester. Had heard that One
mart had been shot i., a riot in Snow-hill, and Mr. Beckwith's
shop had been plundered. That was On the day of one of the
peaceable Sca-fields Meetings. This took ph ice before the
Mewing. Went to the Meeting, and Mr. Hunt spoke. Did
net knew that he saw Watson standing at the side of Mr. Hunt
on that occasion. Did not 'wow that he had sinceaeen Dr. Watson
and 'Thistlewood with Mr. Hunt. Knew no person that stood
by Mr. Hunt at the Meeting. W.►s Lot with Mr. Hunt on his
return to London from Manchester, so did not go with him to
the grand dinner. Went with Mr. Heat to .loorhouse's
house; bad seen Knight at Smedley Cottage; did not know
Carole; could not say that he was not there, because he knew
nothing of him ; witness did nut attend his master to Guildhall
on the. morning when he expected his action against Dr. Stod-j
dart for a libel, would come on. Was not in London when
Mr. Carlile was. tried. Was never at Blackheath with Mr.
Hunt. Had heard that Mr. Hunt had been a brewer in Bris-
tol. Had been with Mr. Hunt when he lodged at Norfolk-
street, in London, where he had three up-stairs rooms. Re-
membered Mr. Grundy coming to Smedley Cottage, while Mr.
Hunt was there. Saw Mr. Hunt, Mr. Johnson, and Mr.
Knight get into the carriage. Did not know the name of the
fourth person who got in ; did not know where the barouche
came from ; did not know w►ere it was hired.
Re-examined by Mr. Hunt.—Never sat down with Mr.
Hunt to dinner in his life. Did not profess to be a politician ;
he wily minded his own work.
By the Junar.—Had beard Mr. Hunt say that a poor man
who worked hard from Monday morning to Saturday night
ought to have enough to maintain his family.
Edward Baines, jun. examined by Mr. Hunt. —Had made
no deposition ; had not read or been made acquainted with any
part of the evidence en this trial. He attended the Manches-
ter Meeting, for the purpose of reporting the proceedings.— I
Saw the different bodies come up, arm in arm, towards the
hustings. They were received with three chews. They did
not take up their stations in a very regular manner. Saw
nothing very particular in their manner, but that they came in
different bodies. Saw nothing more than common walking.
sticks among them. A considerable number bad sticks. Did

Rot euleticeisa gitr eitiefier oportbamongioly.. asitorw: with cat-As than
warsby any et than; had each been carried, thought his Smelt have
seen em." He then described- the proceedings of the • Meey
ing.--Same persons, who came from a distance, had wanted-
refredunent, and a subscription was made for all. Afterwards
it. was determined to have nothing but water, and a can of
water was tent for. When Mr. Hunt arrived, he seemed dis-
satisfied with the situation of the hustings. He (Mt. Hunt)
mounted them, as did' about fourteen girls, dressed uniformly
In white. They were placed there for safety, as the pressers
of the crowd was very great. One or two women had pre-
viously fainted, and been lifted on the hustings, An attempt
was made by those nearest the hustings, to push themselves
back, and leave a space between them and the hustings. They
succeeded but very partially in this, and, to the best of his re-
collection, they were close up to the hustings while Mr. Hunt
was speaking. Mr. Hunt spoke, and witness took notes of his
speech in short-hand. He then read 'the speech, which, in sub-
stance, agreed with the report given of it by other witoessts
for the defence. Towards the close of the speech witness ob-
served the Cavalry advance; they were in considerable disor-
der; Before they came in sight, Mr. Hunt stopped in the
middle of his speech, for wliat reason witness did not know,
and called on the people to give three cheers. lie then said,
" there is some disorder on the outskirts, it is only to rally then),
that is all." Three cheers were given, but no more, before the
Cavalry came.• Mr. Hunt said, " this is a trick, you see they '
are in disorder." The Cavalry, after halting for about three
minutes, brandished their swords.
By the Junes.—WiLiess saw nothing done to encourage the
crowd to offer resistance. His eyes were fixed on them as they
advanced from the house till they had got about ten yards into
the crowd. Saw no stones thrown, ur sticks lifted at them, or
any other insult offered. Shoeld think Mr. Buxton's house SO
or 70 yards from the hustings. Ile condoned to look on the
Cavalry till they arrived within £0 or 30 yards. Then he turned
away, and in about half a minute they arrived at the hustings.
Mr. Hunt stood, and stretching cut his arm, cried " Be firm."
His face was then in the direction of the Cavalry, and the
words were addressed to the whole crowd. No application
was made, to witness's knowledge, for the Cavalry to pass
through. He had no knowledge of the purpose for which they
approached, and had no reason for thinking that Mr. Hunt had.
He saw is. Constables accompanying the Cavalry. Mr. Hunt
said, " Give three cheers :" this was whilst the Cavalry were
advancing. While they were among the crowd Mr. Hunt 'called
out several timesi" Be firm !" Three cheers were given before
they were in sight, which had not expired when they halted at
Mr. Buxton's door. Did not remain on the hustings till Mr.
Hunt twat arrested.
Re-examined by Mr. Hunt.—He left the hustings when the
Cavalry were about 'ten yards within the people; he then went
about four yards in the opposite direction to Mr. Button's.—
He saw * trumpeter on a pyebald horse wheeling about : the
crowd, by a Sudden impulse, Jell back; he was carried thirty
yards from the spot on *hick he had stood; he they got on a
can to see what was passing; met with no impediment to his
retreat, but from the density of the crowd. The trumpeter was
about two yards grom the hustingt, between wituesa and the
hustings. There was no locking of arms behind, and on the
side where the witness was. Saw no cotdon of people with
locked arms, six or eight. deep, surrounding the hotting+?. at a,
distance of six yards. He thought it impossible for any one to
see that arms *ere locked at a distance of four yards from, the
hustings; he could not say whether or not they were linked
arm in arm before. Saw no difference in the people's forming
on that day, from th; manner in which they assemlikd on other
occasiotta Heard nonperson call on those who first arrived, " to
prevent the CavAry and the corruption from coining among
them." It was not possible for a person at one hundred y..rds
distance (from Buxton's), to see that the people stood round the
hustings with locked arms. Saw nothing warlike in the appear-
ance of these persons ; they did not seem at all like disciplined
troops, ready to protect Mr. Hunt, or to fight for him as ,
sion offered. There were many V110•11CH among them. The
three cheers given, if he expressed his opinion of their, were
three chews of conscious innocence, confidently relying on the
protection of the laws.

Mr. Sc.( RL/CIT objected to t'Asbeing received as evidence.
The Juntas said, the witness had a right to give the impres-
sion on his mind, and it might very possibly have been as he
supposed.

Exarninatign resumed.—Heard Mr. Hunt say nothing (refer-
ring to the Military) like " get them down, and when you have
them uewn, keep them down." He was close to Mr. Hunt;
thought he could not have acted thus without his knowledv.—
Did not hear him say " Never mind, they are only a few sol-
diers, and we are a host against them." Had such words been
used he must have heard them. The manner in which he (Mr.
ilunt) had used the words " be arm," was accompanied by no-
thing to induce resistance, but seemed merely intended to induce
the crowd to stand where they were, to prevent them from
running, and to guard against danger and confusion.
Mr. Scazezrr objected to a question being put as to the im-
pression on the witness's mind.

_ The Jonas thought, after getting at the words and manner of
the party, a question as to the impression produced by them
might be put _ _

Air. Hunt would consent to give up the point, if that which
had been obtained from the impressions of some of the witnesses
fur the Crown were struck out.

Mr. Seaar.grr salt!, those went to chew the character of the
Meeting.

Mr. -Hunt remarked, the Learned Counsel thought impres-
sions might be taken on one side, but.not on the other.
Examined by the Jusion.—Saw 110 di4postion in the ercwd to
put themselves in any posture of efTmcn or defence; Mr. Hunt
found no fault with them for 11Jt putting themselves in a posture
of offence or defence.

Re-6xamined by Mr. Hunt.—He (Mr. Hunt) did not stretch
out his arm in a threatening attitude, but in a way to preserve
peace.
Cross-eramined by Mr. Seam.ave.—Did not knew Whether
Mr. Hunt had his hat on, or whether it was in his hand, at the
time; bad taken notice of the walking-sticks, in consequence of
what had been said on the subject of the intentions of the Re-
formers, in the Papers.
By Mr. autaew.--Did not remember seeing Jones on the
hustings.
By Dr. tkaley.--Rementhered seeing Dr. Healey on the
hustings, and remembered that he had desired the people to be
silent or quiet.
By the Jesta.‘—Took notes previously to the arrival of Mr.
Hunt. Did not know for what purpose the Cavalry were com-
ing towards the hustings.
Toni Schokeld examined by Mr. Hunt.—Was at Lees on the
lath, and at Oldham. Saw the people assembling with flags
and banners, but saw no disposition to violence. He went to
Blanchester the same morning. All business there scented to
go on as us:Jai. Saw the Stockport procession arrive. It was
accompanied by many women, girls, and boys. He saw other
arrive;dicisiow saw ro Insult offered to any one; did not see
any large sticks carried by the crowd over their shoulders; saw
nothing to alarm him in the conduct of the people, and saw no
one assaulted by them ; be saw the cavalry advance on the people.
By the JoDllll.—Saw ro disposition to resist the military.
Re-ezamined by Mr. Hunt.—Saw no resistance or abuse of-
fered by any part of the crowd to the military. They appeared
to get out of the way as fast as they could, that the cavalry
might pus. Kept his eye on them, while they advanied from
Mr. Buxton's, as well as be could. Saw no stones thrown or
bludgeons lifted. The people were so jammed and crowded by
one another, that this was impossible. Saw no resistance from
th? first to the last.

Robert Harrop, examined by Mr. Hunt.—Was the manager
of a spinning concern at Lees. Remembered directions being
given to buy some bleached cambric to make a flag for the
Manchester Meeting. The colour was white. No instructions
were given to put any motto on it, but a number of person: en-
gaged to put on certain devices and Inscriptions. A young man
engaged to do them in black. This was done, and it did nut an-
swer. When he began, the letters went through, so as to intercept
the reading. It was then agreed, as they had 'no other Paint, that
the fiat should be painted black ; this was done, and the let-
ters, &c. were painted white. The sole cause of this being done
was that which lie had stated. . Nothing wa,rsaid about a black
flag being considered more offensive than a white one. Went
to Manchester on the 11th, but not in a procession. He de-
scribed the peaceable conduct and unwarlike appearance of the
people that he saw march into Manchester. Did not see that
any alarm was mardfeited by the people of the town. Saw no
insult or act of violence offered. At the Meeting he saw the
cavallry go towards the hustings.
By the Juasa —Did not see the people offer any resistance ;
did not see that any of the people had clubs or sticks with which
they could have resisted. •

Was a paper printer. Saw the Lees procession in front of the
Exchange in Alan:Lester ; did not wa;k in it. Understood the

heard no one express alarm. Went tta &. Peter's•feld.—
Witness did not see any slispocittou to oppose the Cavalrx. Saw
one of the Teourtary passing before the Exchange that morn-
lug; no one insulted kin:. :taw Dr. llealey and Wilda on the
hustings ; he heard them exhint the people to be peaceable and
do their atmcst to maintain good order. Witness and his fa.
Cher have considerable property at Lees. Saw, in the course of
the day, some wicks drown at the Cavalry; this was after they
had surrounded the hustings, and had proceeded some forty
yards-on the other side.

Jdk..l. Hullett, examined by Mr. Hunt.--alca a eieth-tnaker
.at Mcsky. I was at Manchester, abort busineka, an the lath
of AUgThr i my mother aid wife were with me; my motheeis
name it Nancy Preatwich ; she is in the sixty-fifth year of her
are. There wat no-trina eatia•rdinary ia the appearance of the
fawn; the shots were not shat up; I saw the plocessions coma
from o!dhara, • Lees, Mosley, artd norm. They conducted
Itheritalvats its a peaceable Mailoar.; trey offered no iesult to tv:y
one ; a did not bring my goods about with rote, but 1 weft
raand to my customers ;- I eetterally leave them at a- puklec-
house, and go about to obtain cuatonwra. I: was not because I
MI afraid I should lose them ; my customers were enraged as
usual. I did not bear any one express fears from the Meeting.
' My wife was with me at the Meeting, but•sr.y mother bad bunt..
new elsewhere. I saw no violence °flred to say one at the
Meeting. I sac: the military come epees the-field by Sr. Peter's-
field. Where I stoat /night be about eighty yards froth Mr.
Buxton's house, and about fifteen from the hustings, in a taraigat
line between hot!:. 1 cuald see the Cavalry advance. tram .sl:*.
Buxton's to tha aaatiaea. The crowd wade no resistance. I
was not sullicientla near to know whether cr not the Cavalry
stated what their object was. At the same time, I must say, I
could hear, if such a communication r: a•. made, better than those
en the hustings, for I stood nearer to thorn. Iwo not allow
that it was their object, in approaching, to 2SitSt the ConEtab:.s
in executing a warrant. I anl confident, if a communication
was loudly made by taa Cavalry, I could hear it better than
those upon the hustings.
Nancy Prestwich examined.—Was mother of the last witness,
and went to Manchester on the 16th of August, and walked
there, though it was ten miles distant. She saw a ozeli or so
of her own toernswornen, from Mosley, and a number of others,
at the Meeting. Though she was sixty-five years of age,
.she
walked out to Smedley Cottage, after her walk into Manchester,.
1 and they formed her there at toe head of the line, as Commander
lig about two or three hundred women. She know St. Peter's-
field, and got there before Mr. Hunt came. She wanted relief,
and went and got a gill Vbecr, when she met Mr. Want ; as she
was coming back to the ground, the Cavalry-men were coming
there ; she stopped there. Neither herself, aor any of the two
or three hundred women offered to take the Cavalry prism:cm!
She went with peace, -and joined in the shouting when Yr.
Hunt arrived, before the got her gill of beer. When the Ca-
valry-men came up, she heard shouting, bat did not join Ist it,
not knowing what it was for. The people of Manchester and
not seem alarmed about the Meeting; if she bad any apprehen-
sion of riot, she certainly should not have gone there.
Mr. Scsetwer said, it did not follow, that because strangers
entering the town had no apprehension of riot, therefore the in-
habitants in the town should be also free from alarm. He here
freely confessed, that he did not mean to charge Mr. Hunt with
intending to excite-the people, at the instant, to actual tumult.
It was quite enough, to shew that the effect of his proceeding
was intimidation.

Mr. Justice Beyter.—Then it may so happen, perhaps, that
your object is not sufficiently stated in the indictment.
• Mr. &aster: thought intimidation would be quite enough.
Mr. Justice Idart.mr.—l would not for the world mislead the
Jury. If I can hold the scales of justice equally balanced, theta
I shall do my duty.
Mr. &sat.= could not see Mr. Hunt's object in puang a
number of the questions he had pot. The Only erect was, to
occupy a large portion of time.
Mr. Hunt was surprised at the observation. The prosecution
occupied four days; not quite as much was yet givEa for the de-
fence—and yet the Learned Gentleman complained!
Mr. SCAILITT said, that three quarters et the time during the
prosecution was taken up in crosi-examinations.
Mr. Hunt,—.Yes, and very necessary ones.
Mr. StAltl.ll7.—We have•shewn that a strong alarm was felt
in Manchester.

. Mr. Ilunt.—l have shewn the reverse.
Mr. Justice Baiter.—F mutt leave that to the Jury.
Mr. SCAILVTI repeated, that it signified little what was the
feeling of those who came in from the country; it was the peorle
in the town whose feelings were to be principally considered.
Mr. Justice IIAYLEY.—There are two questions, first, whether
there was actual terror in any considerable-portion of the inha-
bitants ? Secondly, whether there were any accompanying cir-
cumstances in the Meeting, so as to excite reasonable grounds
for apprehension of the consequences ?—These two points I shall
submit is the Jury.
Examination resumed.—They were all women; no man came
to put them in order. She went to look at the great soon, end
see what was going on. She had nothing to de with the tags.
Re-examined by Mr. Hunt.—l carried no sword. We had
good intentions—that we had !—(4leatels).
-Robert Wood. —I am a chemist and druggist at filanchester
my shop is near the New Cross. I remember the 16th of Au-
gust. I saw the Oldham and Saddieworth division corzir4 ii.
There warnothing extraordinary in their appearance ; they cams
peaceable manner. I did net think it necessary to shut up
my windows until nearly night. I saw no reason to be alarmed
for the safety of the town. No rational man could be alarmed.
The division came/a a good-humoured way, net like an invad-
ing army. I have no family. I did not observe any bludgeons.
I saw nothing but walking-sticks. About twelve o'clock, I
went to St. I•eter's--field. No one expressed fears for the safety
of the town.

Mr. Scastxrr again objected to evidence being given of the
feelings of individuals. If 10,000 felt ne alarm, and 10 did, these
latterwere still entitled to protection.
Mr. Hunt replied, that it would at least prove the absence of
fear in those 10,000 persons.
Witness.—l went with Dr. Earnshaw to a window overlook.•
ing the hustings, and from thence•saw the different parties arrive.
Some of than had lbw and musk. I recollect they played.
