His LORDSHIP said there could be no reason to dispute the evidence of the parents on that point, or the finding of the jury as to the charge itself. That finding would but a short time ago have been followed by death, for it was the -worst case he had ever known, and he felt it was his duty to sentence the prisoner to be transported for life. His Lordship then passed that sentence on the prisoner.  Thom as Rankin, and twenty-one other Manchester Chartists, were arraigned on an indictment charging them wi th conspiring to incite to insurrecitou. Thcy all pleaded Not Guilty. Many of them traversed, but many elected to take their trials now, and several, including Cmddy, O'Donnell, Somers, Murphy, and O'Brian, who elected in the morning to traverse, now expressed a wish to withdraw the traverse and be tried now. It is, however, understood that the Attorney-General will tomorrow make a formal application to postpone the trials of those indictments where some of the accused have traversed, on the ground that it would be ineligible to try some now, and some at a future assize, on the same indictments.
