lIIGH TREASON.

Some of our contemporaries this day boa their
cantion and forbearanie, in not laying before their
Readers as (non as they might have done. the
Overt Aas of High Treafon, advanced againß
the perfons recently tried.—lt is not uncommon
for men ss to give credit to tbemfelves." when
they cannot get it from others, but. on oar part.
we are not inclined to boat a negative merit.—
While we cautioaly refpetted the injunction of the
Conn. not to detail jesdenk lik any of the evidence.
which, alone, could affea the ends of jußice, we
felt too honey the claims which the Public had
on us, not to impariimmediauly all the informa-
tion relative to thole important Trials which we
could communicate with propriety ; and we at,:
highly gratified in finding thatour an :ions attention,
through she whole d this bulinefs, to gratify pub
lie curiofity. has bad the molt flattering tcairnony
of approbation.
Purfuing the diaates of duty and gratitude ton
wards the Readers of the Stan. we. this day, lay
before them a further Oaaotaas communication
on the fubjea of a profecution ezeitiog larch great
land general interell.

Although we necearily forbear repeating that
part attic evidence againtt thole unKtppy raell
conviacd yelterday, which was il:tailccl vu the

,trial of their altered Leader, we feel that it ray,
be gratifying to our Itzaders to lay before ther:
any new, matter brought out by the examinatinn
of \Vedncfday, which want of room prevented our
giving pine to before.

prifoner got,n Maatamara. He apprehended him
on the :cab of November, at a chandler's (hop, in
Swan-yard, oppofite Somerfet-Houfe. The pri.
ironer did nut at firlt acknowledge his name.—
Witncfs accoaing him, Paid, " How do you do
Mr. Mac to which the prifoner replied, oMy
name is not Mar."--“Don't you know me ?" 1:1;.1
the witnefs.—o No," replied the prifoner; on which
the w itnefs defired him to (land up, and fearched
his pockets, in one of which he found a bit of
paper with the name Mac written on it. Witncfs
then afkect the prifoncr how he came to fry his
name was not Mac P to which he anfwered that
he had married the woman of that fhvp, and feared
that the witnefs came to arra him for debt.
was then taken by the witnefs to his own home,
where Windfor and William Francis wets in cut-
tody. Winters shed Marnamara if he knew them ?
to which he replied in the negative. On which
Francis raid, 44 How do you do, Mar P" The
prifoner anfwered, I don't know you." Witnels
could notrecollea if the prangs bad been addreged
by Windfor.

Them a: Wieuifor, after repeating a great part
of the evidence which he bad given on the trial of
Col. Defpard. mentioned having at one time gone
Ito a meeting held at the Brown Bear, St. Giles',
and after having been there Tome time, they were
obliged to adjourn, as the room had been engaged
for a meeting of the Catholics. He raid there were
meetings of the affociation held every day in the
week; at one of there, held at the Bleeding Hart,
Hat:on Garden, a fund was fpoken of, and a
(haling charged for each Conftitution Card, in or.
der to pay Delegates for going into the country to
smite as many as poffible, form a correfpondence
to communicate information, and receive &ate
Order: from the GRAND COMMITTEE, the names of
which were kept fecret from all but thofe afting
as Delegates, or very forward in the bufinefs.—
At a meeting affembled at the Hoop and Ram in

wnd accullomed to the great gnn exercife. At
this meeting a gentleman, the expreffion of
the wieners, at the oppofite fide of the table
alluded to BOSIAP•RTI, laying that he witt-
ed him to come to this country, on which
witnefs expreffed his difapprobation of fuch a
with, and 'exclaimed, " Bow4art is a 7 'rant:
and quill dee as filth." This caufed difpnti,
the company role, and were on the point of
feparating, when a (mall genteel man (a fh-anget
to the wieners) arrived, who laid he- came from
the Executive with orders to the arm* to be
alive is uniting. and arming themfelves as loon
las poffible. [Here followed a chain of evidence
exaftly the fame with that given on the trial of
Mr. Defpard.] The next novelty in the exami-
nation relates to the meeting at the Flying Horfe.
Newington. Arthur Graham was there, an'. con-
flating; on the death of the Lisa, he exclaimed,
" you'll do no good unlefe you fecure the whole of
them," (meaning the whole of the Royal Family.)
He took a key from his pocket, ohrerving, that it
would admit him into " all Halls. Parks, and
Collyges belonging to his MA] Ivry. I know,"
raid he, " the whole bailie: of them. I was afked to
Greenwich laR (simmer, to a Venifun feaß but I
would not go ; I knew their principles too well.
Theeteruit houfe where you learned your exercile,
Windfor, belongs to me ; I have 601. a year as a
arcane for it, but damn them and their Sinecure
too!"—In the geode of this wieners's examination
it appeared, that the prifoner Broughton, at a
meeting. raid that at lean five hawked difcharged
Caulkers from the Docklardi, would join them
at a moment's notice. In confulting the means of
, putting his Mllj as ry to death, John Wood el-
-1 claimed, " I'll be damn'd if I don't get myfelf
comfy over the great gun in the Park, and fire it
. .
at his Mostly, s coach as he is going to the Parlia-
ment Houle." The witnefs here explained, that a
private of the Guards is always Rationed there,
and that it was poeihle for Wood to have that
guard, al centinels frequently get leave from their
officers to exchange putts, for the piirpofes of per-
focal convenience. No material difference occur-
red in the remainder of this witnefs': examination.

In the evidence of not. Bleids, the new viatica
tranfpiring was as follows :—At a meeting held in,
rooky. fkreet. John Francis brought forward a
plan of Government,which was feconded by Tyn•
dal!, and %I/rattan (aid, that tvtry oat forefeet wet
at fairly ttfirit oat afros oftwarnramt—much de-
late and argument fucceeded in r 4nfequence, and
a Li was lisle! vp by the drunk:n Irilhmen pre.
;cut."—Five, among whom mere Francis Wrat•

I

Lan, &e. had rworn to firike out a plan of Govern,
Trent, and make it be believed that it came 'from
ii)nie Gentleman, and none but there five perfons
to know from whence it came.—Nothing to this
ate/ w is agreed upon, and a plan of Governinen
in-cipofed by John Francis was rejeded. is being
too ar!i:rary

john Pike, antong other faits, depoted, hnviiig
been at a meeting when John Francis pulled out
of his pocket a kind of rofe, with a &Publican
button in the centre of it, which he pinned on Isis
breaft : the rofe was made of cloth of red. green.
and White colours; the button was brats; on yr/deb
was reprefented a pole furmounted by a Cap of
Liberty.

Robert Toosfinfoi, a (oldies. in the guards, was
it a meeting in WindmillAreet, at which Mac-
iiamara was prefent, who Paid, 41 That the nation
was in a very bad fituatioa indeed, and wanted to
be like France, with no king ; they would kill the
king, and then this nation would be the fame
as France." Witnefs was liked to fign his name
in a book, to be of " A Free and Eafy Society."

8a.04 a private of the ill Regiment of
Life Guards, depofed to John Francis's having at-
tempted to reduce him to the affociation, ancing
him what he had to rAT againfi joining a good vo-
lunteer party for " Freedom and Liberty ?"—ad-
ding, that it would " make a Gentleman of him ;
for; as he belonged to the Cavalry, he would be
made a General of, and receive the command of
so or 12,000 men"—Francis added, "that a re-
duaion was shortly expefted in the regiment, when
moll of the men, it was hoped, would join the So-
ciety." The witnefs laid, that fuck a plan did not
correfpond with his principles, and cautioned the
prifoner Francis, how he mentioned fuels a thing,
for, if overheard, he would be hanged. Francis re.
plied, that if the witnefs had any fpirit, he would
repair with him to Adams's Mews, and be (worn
in.. Nothing more of a material nature occurred.
yob' Ernblim, in his depofition, advanced the
following new matter applicable to the trial then
Occupying the Court. He laid that Broughton', on
giving him force papers or Conflitution Cards,
defcribed them as fignals by which to know their
friends, and that thole who Were not polkaed of
them, or not known by a private fign to be friends,
would be put to death : that fign was expreffed by
putting the hand over the brow of the face on one
fide fo as to figure a tree, and bring it down at
the other. It was indicative, he Paid, of the
" Tree of Liberty." Witnefs did not know the
soonter•fign. The witnefs here correfted a part
of the evidence relating to Graham, which he had
given on a former day. The witnefs having in a
converfation about the Society, fald to Graham—
a I did not know that you were of thofe princi-
ples." " No snore am I," Paid Graham. " but I
with to go and fee the humour of it." This eor-
teftion of his evidence, the witnefs conlidered a
neceffary aft of jutlice to Graham.:—At the Fly-
ing Honk, Newington, when Col. Defpard men-
tioned the attack intended on the King, and the
acceffion of foldiers to the plot, witnefs faid—
" You'll never perfisade the foldiers to give up their
dear Du ke"(meaning his Royal Higlinefs the Duke
of Voltz).—" Oh ! won't they, laid Broughton,
bere is one who can tell you ; afk him :" on which
Windfor Paid, ,4 You'll fee." The witnefs, after
repeating the defign of (educing perfons at the
Warren, Woolwich, Paid, that Broughton and
Graham profelfed to have gone thither for that
purpofe, after which witnefs law Graham, who
told him they had gone on a fool's errand, not
having found the man neceffitry to their
purport t Graham mentioned that Broughton
and he went into a public houfe, where they
met fcveral perfons, uncommonly ripe for their
airociation, but blamed Broughton, and called
him a fool for blurting out his principles too
loon, as, had he not blabbed, they 'would have
known thole people better. In this converfation
Graham Paid that the projeft of taking the Tower
was very injudicious, becaufe gun boats could be
brought up to batter the Tower about their
ears ; and, as to the Bank, he thought they
fliould not meddle with it fu loon ; the fira objeft
fhould be to fecure St. James's, and the Bank
ought, at moll, be but a fifth confideration.—
Speaking of being at a lots for a regular plan of
taboo, G. laid, that the plan fhould he to knock
down London bridge.and have loaded colliers funk
errors the Thames, to prevent vet Tels from coming
up the river : he did not approve of the Parlia-
ment-Houle as the place for attacking the King,
as there was always a private guard in Goy Vaxx's
cellar ; or, if the attack was to be made there,
it fhould tale place juft as he fhould come out of
the Houfe, when, at the fame time, they fhould
",12 every b—r (meaning the Members) as they
r trne out." He further laid, that he had fettled
s affairs and colleCted his debts againa the day
of attack, and had, to guard againa failure, deilroy-
ed his papers. He mentioned what fire arms he
had at home. if necelfary ; that he would go fee
the attack as a (peftator, and if things fhould go
rinfavourabk, that he would retnrn home, but if'
they happened to go on well, " damn him if he
would be idle I He Cud, be bad sot beta

(worn, though he had no Objetlion, to far as to
fecreci but not to aftion, ind he would not
be (worn in the prefence of a third perfon. He
Aced witnefs if he bad been (Worn ? who reply-
ing that he bad not, Graham (aid, take care, for
asfaras we have gone, we are guilty of hightreafon.
Witnefs detailed a converfation with the prifoner
Lander, when the latter afcribed his allbciation
in the plot, to the tcazing influence of Brough-
ton, making nfe of thefe words on the occation
" Broughton the villain will not let me alone."
Witnefs Aced Lander what he thought of Gra.
ham (of whole real principles the witnefs had tome
doubt from an occafional indecifion and apparent
difinclination to the plot)—Laader replied, " al!
I can fay of Graham is, that he belonged to
the London Correfponding Society, when I was a
Member of it." Nothing new tranfpired in the
fueceeding part of this witnefs's evidence, which
concluded what tnaterially bore on the cafes before
the Court, or wore any feature of novelty which
could intereft our Readers.

We mull beg our Readers to correet one miflake

mended to mercy, which was not the cafe. The
