to that extent which it afterwards reached.—
It was impossible that the magistrates shoeld sot know
of the manner ii which the meeting of the 16th Raged
was to be got together; and 'if they did kaow of the
manner, and really expected sects dangers to result frost
it to the town of Manchester, as they had stated ea
their oaths that they did, then be persisted in saying that
they ought to have prevented it altogether. Did they,
however, take any measures to prevent it? No; not
ewe. One of the megistrates eves thought that the
misting was legal. Undolibtedly it was so : fur what
was to render it otherwise? Clearly, not the intention,
of those who had convened it; because, when they were
told that the meeting which ther had called for the 9th
was illegal, os amount of its object Wine hi elect re-
.petteestative for the unrepresented. inhabitants of Man-
ester, they persisted an it no longer. They might
have met on the 9th, but they did sot matt : and
why ? Because they were resolved to do nothing but
what was legal and right; and accordingly, when
they were told that the object of their first meeting
was improper, they changed their requisition into one
that was perfectly proper and legal : they called a
misting to take into consideration the best means of
shielding a full, fair, and equal representation of the
people in the Commons' House of Parliament—a meet-
ing width they bad a right to attend, yea, though it bad
been for the purpose of discussing what his learnel
friend bad been pleased to call the issue doctrines of
annual parliaments and universal suffrage. He might
here be allowed to tell his learned friend, that, insane
as he might think that doctrine, it bad been supported
by tees of as high rank, and of as distinguished talents,
as had ever appeared in this or in any other country.
Su, said his learned friend, if their iotention was to
demand their rights in a quiet and peaceable metier,
why had they rain in such !MEMOS' umbers? Why had
they not Tet at their private houses, as Mr. flareshaw
and his.friends bad done, and there draws op their pe-
titioufee reform? Why, breasts their petitions, if they
bad done so, would, as his learned friend had well re-
ntirked, hare been read, laid on the table, amd aever
beaifl of more. They wished to have their petitions
treated in a different manner; they thought that when
tio,ooo or 100,11011 persons assembled peaceably together,
the attention of the House of Commons would be called
to the fact, that within one narrow district there were
so slany individuals without any repressuaßve to pro•
tett theirinterests. ['hey knew that their isdividael
petitions for reform would be laid oa the table and dis-
regarded ; they trusted, however, that the collected
wishes of mach a souiritale would defused and obtain
sonic consideration from the legislature. lie trusted
that he bad now convinced the jury that the object of
the requisition was perfectly legal, rod that it was not
tendered otherwise by the number of persons who had
afterwards attended the meeting.. How, then, had these
persons some into Manchester, as straggler.? No —lf
they had entered Manchester in detached and straggling
doubtless we shoutd then have heard that the
peace of the tows. had been endangered by the number
of disorderly persons who were straggling through and
blocking up the streets. To prevent the possibility of
such an occurrence. they Caine under haulers, which
were kneaded for no other purpose, and which, it had
not been proved had been used for any ether purpose

If the 'fleeting, in their opinion, was of such a nature as
to require to be dispersed, at all events they ought never
to have allowed it to begin : they had the whole military
