Cross-examined.—l am an Irishman, so is Byrne,
and so is the prisoner.
James Booth, Policeman—l recollect the prisoner,
' with two other men, coming to the Police-office about
half-after eleven o'clock, on the night of 2d October;
they were followed by 30 or 40 persons; I went out,
and asked them what they wanted? and. some of
them answered, " We want that --- Trumpeter.`'
I persuaded the crowd to disperse with the assistance
of Prinnott. I accompanied the prisoner to the cor-
ner of the George; I advised him to go home, as I
considered his life in danger ; I was about half an,
hour before sent for to the Dog, in Deansgate, and it'
was with great difficulty Prinnott and I rescued him
from six or seven persons who were attacking him.
After we took the prisoner out of the Dog, one of hi.
assailants followed him, and when seized by Prinnott,
this person declared that he would have the prisoners'.
life. When the prisoner left the two men in the Po-
lice-office, he went away, and the two men left the
office soon after, as the crowd was dispersed.
Cross-examined by Mr. ATatzismi.—About half
an hour before the prisoner came to the Felice-office,
I was at the Dog public-house ; I did not take the
man into custody who threatened to take away
Meagher's life. I should not know him again. I did
not take any of the persons into custody whom I found
attacking the prisoner. I did not see Cantrell with
the prisoner at the Police-office, nor any other person
appearing as his cBmpanion. I do not know any of the
persons who were attacking Meagher at the Dog. I
-know the prisoner to be one of the Manchester band.
Thomas Prinnott, a Policeman.—That said Satur-
day night we were sent for to the Dog, as there was
' a great riot there. It was about eleven, or a little
after; Booth and I went there. We found the pri-
soner there, near the bar, amongst six or seven persons.
The lower part of the entry contained a number of
other persons, towards the pump, as we could per
ceive. Through great persuasion we got the
men to leave the house, and-the trumpeter went out.
—A little stout fellow strted out, and exclaimed,
" I'll be d---d if I will not have his life." I
took this stiff little man back into a room in the
Dog. It was as much as we could do to get the
trumpeter away from the party; he was certainly in
great danger; I should think myself so if in his
situation. This man, who said he would have his
life, was one of the party whom we found laying
hold of Meagher, in the lobby. The little man who
made the threat promised that he never would attack
the trumpeter again, if I let him go. I did let this
man go; I think I should know him again. Hearing
a noise, when in my room, at the Police-office, 1412111 C
down stairs, and saw thirty or forty persons following
the prisoner into the Office some of whom cried,
"we will have that d—d thief of a trumpeter out,"
and others, " turn him out."
John Ball—l live at Southern-street, top of Deans-
gate, and I am a carder ; I was one of the Watch
and Ward on duty on Saturday, 2d October. Lwas
going the second round through Deansgate towards
Bridge-street end, about 20 minutes after twelve. As
I passed by the corner of Queen-street I heard a win-
dow hove up; the person who rose the window ex-
claimed, " why are you heaving stones at my win-
dow, that you will not let me rest?" There were five
persons standing in the street, nearly opposite the pri-
soner's window; they said they had not been heaving
any stones. He said they had. One of the five then
cried out " You -- come down." The man
in the window then said, " If you don't go about
your business I'll fire." Ido not know that it was
the prisoner who spoke. • I saw him on crossing the
street; he appeared in his shirt sleeves. I then went
away. The people in the street were shouting and
swearing like blackguards, and while so doing, they
were loeking up at the window. I joined the Watch
and Ward in Bridge-street.
Cross-examined by Mr. ATKINSON—Witness said
that he heard no firing. William Owen was with
him during the transaction to which he had deposed.
John Davis, druggist and apothecary, of No. 231,
Deansgate--My shop is immediately opposite to
Queen-street, and the prisoner's lodging is at the cor7
ner of that street. I had that night a fancy to see
Miss O'Neil, so I went to the play.
Here Mr. Foulkes requested the witness to con-
fine himself to the case of the prisoner.
Witness resumed—On my return feom the play, I
cast up with Mrs. Davis what-were the receipts of
the day, which we always do before we go to bed—
Mr. Patna:as again begged the witness to confine
