DOCUME)TS ALLUDED TO IN LE'rTER i.

Mary Barker sworn —I am daughter of Richard
Tidil; some time previous to the Cid of February, two
bundles of sticks (pike hannle‘), some grenades, sow'
powder and ball, in a haversack, were brought to my
Lather's lodgings (where I also reside), and left there.
I slid not know the articles were grenades at that time.
The powder, the shimmies, anti balls, were lit by Ed-
wards, with a pr swiss. of railing again fur them in a
short time. One large grenade, about twelve or four-
teen pounds weight, was brought by Adams. Ed-
wards, some days afterwards, railed for the grenades ;
I was at home ; he said, " (live me those things, I will
tyke them and get them finished." lie twit them
withjeim, and subsequently brought then. back in a
finished state. _

Edwards called again early on the morning of the
231, and took away the halls and the grenades. Ile
c..lied again about three o'clock in the afternoon of the
s a :Of day, and took with him part of the powder. A
hix strongly corded was left by a man I not know,
e. err havigg, to my recollection, seen him before or
siace. Some pike staffs were brought by a matt, who
K,14 that Edw..rds desired hint to leave them. Two
tr:ntiles in brown paper w. re left, one by Edwards,
aml the other by'Adams. About a week prior to the
Edwards canoe and took them away.

Thomas Chambers, say, that I an. a hoot-maker,
wattling at No. 3, Heathcock-rourt, Strand, and have
1.-en in the employment of Mr. Hay, shoe-maker, No.
0, 'favistuek-street, Covest-garden, for seven years,
and still continue to work for him; that shout five
manths ago I became acquainted with lleorge Edwards,
l.y meeting him by accident at the White Lion, Wych-
tareet ; that muse time after he called upon me, at
I was much surprised, not knowing much of
Fat; he at the sante time talked about politics in a
serange violent manna he came to me again soon
atter, and held the sante sort of language, saying,
44 It was nonsense talking, people must arm them-
selves." On Christmas-eve he again called on me, with
v_veral persons, among wi 1111 l a were two Irishmen, who
v•-re drunk, and whom I had never seen before. Ed-
rants, at this time, bad with him an old cavalry
sword, which he kept under his coat, and also a
•ortl stick' in his hand. He said to the Irishmen,
Would not you wish to have Castlereagh's head to
ct-ry about on a pole, for the good he has doneyour
country ?" One of the Irishmen said, "He (meaning li
14r4 Castlereagh) is a big rogue ;" on which Ed-
wards said, " Here is what will cut off iris b--y
It ad." One of the Irishmen said, he would nut enter
it 'a any thing until he was sworn. Edwards then
a..!,..41 me for a Bible to swear the man ; I said " 1
v. 1;i have nu swearing here ;" and being at work, and
4. liking their language and noise, I bid them to
1-ave my bottsv, and they went away. Edwards celled
a!, me again about a week after, much against my
r :tit,• and held forth, in violent language, about the
Ciivernment, and said, that after the tyrants (mean-
Mittistees) were cut off, Ilunt and Cobbett must
