HULLOCK—Had been sent for by Johnson, when passing Johnson's house one day, after he had been before the Mogistrater went into his (Jobuton's) shop,  where there were three or four persons, and Johnson said, " What, you've been before the Magistrates ?" Witness said " Yes." Johnson then told him be was a fool for going with the beadle who had been sent for him before the Magistrates, without making hint show his authotity. He then asked what bad taken place; witness would not tell him there, but would tell him in any private room, or Ott the York Inn, where they could he by themselves. Johnson said he was not ashamed of any one hearing about it. Witness said he thought Johnson used him very ill to call him into his shop before people whom he believed to he a lot of spies, and would not tell him any thing.  Joseph Slater, examined by Mr. Serjeant CROSS —Remembers Johnson being iu his house with last witness on the 6th of August. Witness be;an by saying, that he understood that Johnson and Nicholas Whitworth were to be returned to Parliament. Johnson said it was all nonseme.— Winless shortly after left the room. Johnson remained with Slater. On his return they were conversing about the murder of Mr. Horsfall, when Johnson said, " Do you know, Mr. Slater, that at that time there was a set of men determined to go up to London and disperse the House of Commons." Witness ridiculed the idea. " 0," but said Johnson, " I know it for a fact, and it would have been done bad the subscription been large enough to keep their families while they were away, or in case they failed." Witness laughed. " Oh, but " says Johnson, " do you recollect when Bellingham shot Mr. Perceval what confusion there was ? There was Lord Castlereagh scrambling out of one room, and Mr. Canning out of another, and when Bellingham was taken they were all ready to tear him to pieces ; and if one could frighten them so, he (Johanson) Was sure that it could be done." Johnson sheaved by gestures bow they (the House of Commons) had acted in their hurry on that occasion. Saw Johnson last Saturday week at his own house in Manchester. He (witness) was first coining to York. Johnson said, " You will recollect that I said I heard it for a fact." ‘Vitness replied, " No, you said you knew it for a fact."  Cross-examined by Mr. Hunt—Witness kept the Bay Horse. Johnson had told witness that there would be a meeting on the 16th of August. Willie said, when Johnson was gone, that " if Nadin had been there he would have had him." Had spoken to Willie on the subject repeatedly Since, but never told witness what he (Willie) had to prove what Johnson said while witness was out of the room; nothing about Johnson's saying they should be ready for the soldiers by the 16th of August ; thought what he had heard from Johnson a foolish and wicked story ; Johnson was certainly speaking in eat-nest. Witness did not inform the Police of it ; it he were to communicate, every foolish conversation that passes in a public-house, he should do nothing else. Witness and Willie had never compared notes. By Mr. Hunt—Johnson went, on that occasion, to witness's house, to look at a sow that was about to bring some pigs, one of which Johnson was to have. Johnson then treated the report of being about to become a Member of the House of Commons as being false. On Saturday week Johnson called on witness again about a pig, and then told him (witness) that if he said nothing but what he (Johnson) had said, he (Slater) would be a good witness for him. Never beard him (Johnson) declare that he would overturn the House of Commons, but he said that he knew something of the kind I►ad been intended to be done about the year 1812. Witness bad been but once or twice to Mr. Norris and Mr. Milne since his deposition ; went for his deposition that he might see what he had sworn, but was told that it was gone to London ; had never seen it since he signed it.
