TREATMENT OF MR. HUNT IN
GAOL.

In the 4th \limber of the Memoir: of ff. Iltrxr,
Req., is annexed 4n Address to the Radical Reformers,
Male and Female, of Ragland, Ireland and Scotland,
of which the following is an extract

4" At such an eventfttl period as thisothen your time
and your active exertions ought to be better employed,
it would be puerile to trouble you with a long detail of
my sufferings, which detail will shortly come before
the public in a more authenticated and regular form
than a mere paragraph in-this address; it is sufficient,
therefore, to say, that on my arrival here at ten o'clock
on the night of the 17th of May, I was thrust into a
cold, damp, unoccupied dungeon, by the gaoler, where
there was a hag of musty oat straw placed upon a gaol
truck, not fit for the resting-place of a bog. A stool
and a table were the only furniture of my day dun-
geon, which had a northern aspect, where the sun
never deigns to 'hew its rays for six months in the
year. For the first fortnight I was neither allowed
flre-iromt nor
.ti.sder of any sort, but as fingers were
made before either of these, I contrived to do without
them. This place opens into a small court. about 20
feet high, built of porous stone, which imbibes every
drop of rain that falls upon theist, sa that in wet wea-
ther it presents the aspect and feeling of a damp empty
well, and in hot %rather it reflects the heat so as to
convey a s nsation like that which a man experiences
who puts his head into the mouth of a baker's oxen
after the bread is drawn ; in fact, it is alternately the
atmosphere of an o%ese and a well. Within the pesti-
lential air of these walls I was immured for seven weeks
without once taking the fresh air, with which my
health was evidently affected, and which has occ:.sioned
me rheumatic pains whit+ I shall be wore than fortu-
nate if I get quit of while I remain here. Thus tench
fur my situation. But what was n ugh more than this,
my friends were only permitted to see sue at three sepa-
rate hours during the day, and not after four o'clock
in the af:.-rtioon, so that some who rattle from a great
distance, even hon. London, and rural ; tat mm-it over
t'.c night, were is:di/ell to r. turn %litho it see:sig me at
: others came is, time, merely to see me a few
minutes, atti were then obliged to depart. To be
brief; the time of •".ie Jail Sessions approached, and
S;r .10in Aci:lau,.l, the Chairman of the Quarter•Ses-
'ions, paid an' a visit, upon which the door of an ad-
joitiitig larger yard ens thrown opera. Ile suggested
several h uh nevessa-y accommodations, which were
itum. diately effected ; soil having heard what f-rther
I required, which principally consisted in the wish to
see usy friends at all roasonablr hauls, he was pleased
to say that they were so reasonable and consistent with
common sense, that he had no doubt but it would be
granted ; and before be left the jail he entered
the books a strong recomn.endalion to that*
lu a few days the sessions were held, and a large
body of magistrates with Mr. Nelsen en the in
fur the county, and the other chairman of the Quetta*
Sessions, assisted by the Under Sheriff and the Ciotti
of the Peace, attended, and after a minute inerstiga-
tion upon the spot, wade an order complying with
emery thin} 1 requested agreeable to the reCOUlttlettalt•
Ikon of sir John Acklaud. I was perfectly satisfied
with this arrangement. 'which continued fur some v•ven
weeks to the moo,' satisfaction of all parties, without
one regulation or order being violated or encroached I
upon by me, and without any complaint being tnao
by the jailor, or any inconvenience arising either in
him or shy of the officers ; when, suddenly, an
came from the tirand Jury rescinding all the mat
parts #4f the former a gement, in prohibiting
friends or any other persons to see me only at
hours, and totally excluding all females, unless
saw me at lee double-grolisse, where all felons, r
rieht, and those charged with or con. Ord of en
terel and other crimes saw and met their visitors as!
associates: and this order was suddenly carried
effect with the must savage and cruel ferocity, at-co4IIW
ponied by circumstances most revolting to human
nature. The visiting-magistrate, Mr. Moody, and
the Rev. Dr. Colston, of Ledford, came upon being
seat for, and as the jailur unequivocally declared hge.
fore them that he had never the slightest reason .11in
complain of use or any of my visitors, and that as WI
inconvenience h id arisen from the former regulutionio,
I am left to draw my own conclusions upon the can*
of this unheard of, and unmerited punishment. All
that I could learn was, that as Sir John Ackland bad
resigned his situation as chairman -r" the -
to•ssion, and the Rev. Sir Abraham P'
Court, near Bristol, was appointed ,
Lords New Laws)," that Sir .1. Hat
Park, near Bath, was foreman of '
that Sir John Cow Hi...a- •

a sort of dirk. Mr. Norman happily wirded off the
pow, and struck him with hi., cutlass on (he wrist, by

which the ruffian was disabled; they grappled to-
gether, and boil; fell into the adjoining garde.. This
robber here made another attempt to stab Mr. Norman,
ihrpatening that his confederates,, who were at hand,

nu Monday brought before the Magistrate at Worship-

fender. He gave his name JuAn Martin, and after
a short examination wu committed. Mr. Norman.
had recently sold several houses in the neigh.bour-
