SALISBURY SESSIONS.

In our Paper of the 20th of November, we gave a
detailed account of the illumination in Salisburyi
and of the conduct of some of the Magistrates on
that occasion. The proceedings were resumed on
Thursday se'nnight,at the Sessions, before the MAYOR,
the DZPUTY-RECORDER, and a Bench of City Jus-
tices. It will be recollected, that we then stated that
the illumination was general; there were but few ex-
ceptions, and even those were rather defective in
point of time than intention. The only person who
gave notice of his intention to oppose the common
sentiments of his fellow-citizens was the brother of
the Recorder (Mr. TINNEY), who is Clerk to SirJOHN
LEACH, one of the Milan Commissioners.
Several persons were accused of riot on the occa-
sion referred to, and were committed to prison. The
greater part were bailed, and the trial of the whole
was fixed for the Sessions, which opened last Thurs-
day.—One of the parties who had been the principal
• occasion of the little disturbance that did take place,
had been incessantly engaged, through the medium
of one of the County Papers, under a fictitious name,
in attempting to inflame the minds of the inhabit-
ants, and indeed of the county, against the persons
whose conduct was to be brought before a Jury of
their countrymen: he pronounced our city to be in
a state of revolution—our Clergy and our Magis-
trates deposed—while at the very moment there were
no less than eight of them sitting ij,judgment, and
-that too, as they afterwards discovered, upon a ques-
tion beyond their jurisdiction! To the honour of the
jurisprudence of this country, and the virtuous feeling
of the better informed, such arts are unavailing, and
the base sacrifice of principle, in the hope of obtain-
ing place, returned empty!
The drama, however, was well got up, and though
there are no less than fifteen Attornies in the city,
yet none of them could be procured, or were consi-
dered adequate to produce the much-wished catas-
ttoplie. Mr. CUITTY, of Shaftesbury, was there..
lore employed to conduct the prosecution, with Mr.
l'oonszn, Attorney, of Andover. The accused ap-
plied to Mr. WA RDZN, of the Close, and he, knowing
the poverty of their situation, kindly undertook to
appear for them.
Prom amongst a population of 7,000 persons, there
were but six individuals found in the least diSorderly,
the oldest of whom was twenty-six year; of age, the
others horn eighteen to twenty-one. Of these only
one has been convicted, and on the following evidence:
Silas Daft) was indicted for a riot and breach of
the peace, and also for a common assault.
James Hayes deposed, that he was a Special Constable on the
16th November; that on the evening of that day, between the
hours of seven and eight o'clock, he took John Sweet into ens- '
trAly far what tn: crasceivcd to be a breach of the peace; there
WAS a riot on that night; saw the prisoner with several hun-
dreds more; there was a mote dari.?g outrnze. lie leaped across
his arms, as if to beak his Ito:d of Sweet; Sworn, a Sub-Con-
stable, was with I:6n when a• wilted ; he struck him awn!, with I
Lis stick, hut .1 r...t know wlietir.:r :Sworn had struck him be-
fore that time; h.r wa sure the priabavr was the man that struck
him; he rt.,61 not be on,.taken. •

Crobt.erupained by Mr. Waunsay.—Was a Special Constable on
the nigh: 1:1-questton ; had his staff of office with him, and a
label on nis hat, on which was printed ais•e;',/ il,lestabie; is ..ore the
prisoner must have seen this label, at lea,: it was 11-gbc enouzlit
for him to see it—it was so light, that he could s,e a sirpence un
the grOund ; it w..s in the middle of the Maria-plice; it was
extremely light ; there was a bright moon; neari7 500 persons,
and abaft: thirty 4tiweird Constables was iint at I.lr time, dues mg
limos, what a riot exactly is; there was a confusion, of ill de-
ttizta —an illumination; the people were talking in the street; the
illuminactu was partial; they were breaking people's windows;
the prisoner Was amongst th,.. number; but before witness struck
hint be said nothing to witness, nor saltness to hint. lie did not
teU the prisoner he was a Constable; could not swear that Sworn
struck hint before the assault.
William Sr..orn deposed, that wben he went up to James
Hayes, he had the pn :otter in custody; he ikeught there was an
attempt at rescue ; the person atu niptins to rescue Sweet was
unknown to butt ; cannot ssvvar it was the titan at the bar; saw
a number of persons assaubled tozethcr, but could not swear
that he was amongst them. •
. _ _

Cr is a rwnirred 6y : fr. NI/Amin:l.—Was not certain of the per-
son of the !irisaner ; it tea,: la der, that, even after he hari ho? I
of him, he could nut diringuisla who it was; it uses dark, &Yr,
4!ark ; add see ki pick up sispcnc.: in the stmt.; does not
think the moon shone; it did mit 5e.)4.1?,! ; there were isi lamps
lighted, and only from four to five houses illuminated in the
rlarket-place; was on the other ski.. of &mixt, hut did uot know
him at the time; when the prisoner came up, he did not know
hi.n ; it was so dark, that he Mild not see who the prisoner
was ; he knock.sl Lim down, but did not take particular uotire
that there was any riot.
Mr. Nodding, Town Cleik, was called to prove-
that the moon was shining on the night of the
ut November. lle stated, from the City Regulations
with respect to the lighting of lamps, that there must
have been a moon on that evening, and produced an
almanack, to spew that his statement was correct.—
No person in Court doubted the exigence of the moon,
but it was one of Sylvesto Dagger:woes 1 it was "
moon behind a cloud," and was not Irons under that
cloud till two hours after the riot and as:tart/I took
--place. Besides, it is very surprising that it never oc-
curred to. Mr. CHITTY himself, that, though the
City was regulated by the Moods, with respect to
lighting the lamps, that the Moon was under nopar-
ticular 'obligation to be regulated by the Cilli! But
there is no man wise at all times!

Mr. Illackmore deposed, that he was a special constable on
the night in question; he saw a crowd, and a man its a smock-
frock ; believes the prisoner to he the man ; the crowd were
noisy ; he saw the constable knock the man dawn ; saw hint af-
terwards in the Council House; his head was bleeding.
Cress-ezirinintd ky Mr. WAaorx.—There were a number of
personi wearing amuck-frocks as well as the prisoner. There
were a few houses illuminated, and others lighting ; he could
rot distinguish faces in the crowd, it was so extremely dark;
bet having seen the man's head bleeding, and knowing that a
may bad been knocked down, he judged that he was the person.
Mr. WAnuss then addressed the Jury.—" Gentle-
Men, you have heard the whole of the evidence in
this important case' and a fine collection of evidence
it is. I declare that there is not one tittle of it worthy
of going to a Jury. You, Gentlemen, haves most
probably. been all in the situation of the prosecutor,
as special constables, and may, therefore, be sup.
posed to have. a feeling hostile to persons in the pri-
soner's.situation, and charged with his offence. But
of all such feelings I hope you will endeavour to
divossess your minds, and. look only at the evidence
as tt stands before you, abstracted from every other
consideration. Now it appears that, on the 16th of
jiorember, an illumination had been advertised to
celebrate ;he defeat of the Bill of Pains and Pe-
nalties--
