There were to be men stationed * t the Town-hall , up stairs and down ; it-was then arranged where tbe cats were to be placed ; Snig-hill was the first place proposed , but it was not carried ; it was then proposed to lay them from " Woolhouse ' s comer , to th « Aibion and the Tontine , so as to catch the hone * of fcbe soldiers which ever way they cane this -was earned .

Albert Smith ' s , if I | am not mistaken , and so on with all the magistrates . . Some one asked if be could accomplish his end at Mr . Hugh Parker ' s ; leave that to me , 111 settle that feusi-| ness , if you will look after the town . They then agreed I how the classes were to come and take the TowB-h \ ll ! and Toatine ; previous to the class coming up , one man | was to go first , and th « n two , so as not to alarm vhe -watchmen ; they were to assassinate every watcbman , or policeman that they came across ; thev were thun tn

fired , they would leave the town to take care of theii property , the middle classes and the authorities would then give their votes towards the people obtaining the Charter ; it was then agreed that » o provision stores or places ?{ worship were to be destroyed : tkeir was not many names mentioned it was left to Holberry . The first time the Council met was at three o ' clock , and closed at six-, the Council met at the same place at eleven ; Holberry was not there at that time ; at the private meetings at Fi ^ -tree-lane , all the members were to bring in an account of their arras ; never heard Holberry say he had arms , but he had combustible materials ; the fin * time I saw the dagger was at Kirk ' s ; Boardmaa said he could bring ei ht oi ten gunB ; Mr . Birks two or three ; we had only two oi three
. , and Mr . Marshall four ; they had about eighteen guns and twelve pistols altogether ; Boardman had one thousand rounds of ball cartridge ; we had four hundred ; Marshall had foar hundred ; Birks not many ; the leader of the Forty-row class was not there tb * a about half-pasV nine o " clock at nifht 1 wfent to the rooms expecting to find a meeting there ; the door was : shut and 1 went to my class in the park ; we did not ; stay lonj ? there , before I went to my house in Forge-! lane ; we were removing , but had not got all the fui ^ ; nitureaway ; we then weat to Mr .

Waterylane , and from there to Crookes-moor ; we ret « med from there to "Baceo box-walk , " -where we found about half-a-dozen of Duffy ' s party ; they had dirks ; we had left Birks on our way back from Crookes-moor ; be had a torch and a dirk ; we went from there with o » r Irish brethren , -to Duffy's , where we had some ale . We stayed there till betwixt four and five ; 1 and s *« ther went to Birks ' e house te-aee if be was come he # ne , but he was not I was tbeo ™** fr ']; the best of my way hmnt , When I « u stopped \ tj > jinm—MM ^ i till bridge , and two swwfe and two daggers take * from me ; nothing pardcuiar took place on oar Mute ; I have seen the prisoner Booker at the nrrt ' iup ] in Flg-feree-lane , but I cannot say -when ; the Ecktagton friends were to m * et at ilr . Mitchell ' s , ia the Park ; I had three daggers giren to me on Saturday night ; one was left at home , which was taken dovra to my father ' s amongst the other things -which thty were removing .
The Court wished to know if the prisoners would ask the witness any questions . Holberry then said—You say I was at a meeting on the night of last Saturday but one ? Yes , in Figtreelaae ; you cauie in late . The witness here begged to recollect himstlf . He then stated that on the aight in question they were expecting Holberry from Dewsburr , and . not arriTing in time me and Foden were to go off in a gig immediately to see what he -was doing ; they eould not get a gig until six o ' clock in the morning ; it was then arranged that Boardman should go with me ; as » 8 were parting to go home Holberry came ; we ¦ went to IMarehall ' s , froa there to BirkB ' s , and thea to Heluerry ' s house . The Prisoner—Did yoa see me in Fig-tree-lane on Friday night ?
Witness—Yes , with a horse-pistol ; you and I were -together at the rooms till after twelve o ' clock ; you took me to the council meeting ; yon spoke first at the meeting , and framed tbe firsi resolution-, I -nvfrric tbe motion that the shops should be broken opea ; you opposed it on the ground that they -would lo » their object . The Bench here said that the questions he wae then asking did not at all affect the charge against him , and reminded him that what he said now would be taken down , and might be produced against him at another time . The Prisoner—I should hav « said more , which might have thrown a great deal of light on on the subject , but after -what has been stated 1 will reserve what I have to say until rny trial .
ilr . Palfreyman applied to the Bench on behalf of the prosecution , that the elder Thompson , from the evidence that had been given , should be allowed to TTithdraw from the prisoner " * box and be set at liberty . ilr . Parker said the Magistrates had great pleasure in acceding to the request ; they trusted he had nothing to do with the plot . Mr . Buxton , collector of highway rxtes for Eccleshill Bitr ow township , pruved that Thomas Booke- occupied the hoase in Bennet-iane Bince 30 th of Jane , 1830 , when he-paid rates .
William Well—I am abont eighteen years of a * e ; I am an apprentice with ilr . George Wolstenhom , of Rockingham Work *; 1 have betn nearij four years with him ; my name was put down , but I am not entered as a member of the association ; J never paid aoy subscription . Sinco latter tnd of August , or beginning of September , have occasionally attended their meetings ; the principal pliet was ia Fig Treelane ; 1 was nevtr at anj otner place ; there U one large roena where the meetings are generally held , and below a saninrittee-room ; ( . nnn . ^ ta last fortnight have attended several times ; it is impossible to mention the number of individuals I have sctn tUere ; Thomson and Holberry I hare seen ; the « ibjt-ct of the disturbances in VVaUahas been talked over in the rooms , a' > out a
fortnight after they broke out , I remember it ; it was mentioned to him they were aboat to form an association , and x person in the room said he should be sworn , as he had betn saying something he ought not to have known ; Holberry was pitseiit ; 1 took a promise ; it ¦ was given in the upper room ; Hoiberry was present , and gave the woras ; i promised to keep the secrets of the association , and not divulge them to any one ; was in the room on Thursday ; Holberry told them he had been a delegate to Dewsbury ; he spoke puhlidy ; it was a public meeting , open to every person . On Saturda y , met Holberry in Fargate , about half-past one in tbe day ? went to his house wim him ; all that transpired was ,
he said he expected something wonld turn up that night ; he said I was to be at the class that night by ten o ' clock ; I never attended before ; he asked me if 1 had any arms ; I told him I had not ; I said , perhaps I can get some ; I got a few email daggers ; think I got about half-a-dozen ; at night 1 took three or foar to the clase , which iru at Thompson ' s , in Forge-lane ; there did not appear to be any furniture in the house ; was not there more than ten minutes , there was perhaps a dozen at the class ; before I set off to the class 1 -went to the room in Fig Tree-lane ; there was only two women there ; me * a maa at the bottom of the stairs , and gave a dagger to him ; dont know his name .

Mr .

The magistrates then retired for a short time ; upon their return , Mr .

Levying war against her Majesty , with tbe intention to cause her to change her measures
oreotuMila , f- tV-ftlfi rfTr tprrfflnrl 1 | wjj lljr ftJU l of opiWon that tne offeric « Ts proved ; ' ^ TeSrS ^ ff ll ^ f necessary to be proved here . We are not sat here t try you , but to see if there be good grounds to put you on your trials . Y « are committed on the charge of HIGH TREASON ; the depositions will be sent to the law officers of the Crown , and it will be for them to adopt them , or t&ke such other proceedings as they think proper . I can only add that as soon as you are removed from tbe bar , you will be conveyed to York Castle . We cannot suffer the present excitement to be kept up , or the safety of the town endangered by your remaining here longer than has been necessary for your examination . Your schemes were of a most diabolical kind ; tbe first act -was to have been at this place
at two o ' clock , then an attack was to have been made on this building , then on the Tontine , and the town was to have beea fired in several places . Men were also engaged to fire the Barracks , after that Mr . Albert Smith's bouse , and then the hoiues of the magistrates around . The watchmen and police were to have been assassinated ; and eols thrown in the streets to obstruct tbe cavalry , . and shops attacked which contained arms . This was the means you intended to jfo on with your conspiracy in that general and publk way ; and there can be no doubt , in any person ' s mind , that the offence contemplated was high treason . The scheme was really too dr eadful , too awful , to be contemplated . Thank God , by the interposition of his Divine
Providence , the town has been saved , which would not have been had not their designs been happily forestalled . The schemes of conpiratorsseldom answer ; bistory tells us so , and our own times confirm it . Conspirators cannot trust each other . Some are not so iuwdened as other * , and by such mtans their schemes * re frustrated . If the authorities had been less vigilaatia their duty , « nd you had triumphed , it -would only bare been momentarily . The tew » would have coae forward—all classes amongst the »—the middle class * nd the working class would have joined hand and heart in putting down such diaboKoal schemes . I acu faappy to hear there is no rising in any other place ; « nfl have nothing further to Bay . Y < m will now be reiu « ied from the bar , and in less tbaat haX an hour on your « et to York .
Holberry applied for the n-e of pet . and ink , to prepare his defence . * ad wished to see . his brother , who had come forty BtUes for the purpose . He was refenwd * o the visiting magtstrates at York . Booker shov » ed seme anguish , aai wished to see his wife . Their wives only were ordered to be allowed to see them . They were then removed . The prisoners were removed from-the Town Hall , at twenty muMites past four , and conveyed to York in a chaise and fo » tr , accompanied by Mr .

An unusual number of members were ' present , and the evening was carried on iu the most orderly manner . The money having been paid in , the other matters of importance were then entered into . It was then moved and seconded— " That a number of trustees be chosen to hold the monies of this society " when another , very foolishly , but , perhaps , with a good intention , moved an amendment— " That the monies belonging to this society be sent to the bank . '
The original motion , however , was passed unanimously . It was then proposed by Thomas Schoflold , aud seconded by Thomas Wilde— "That £ 100 be lent te Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., on good aeccrity . " This motion was not interrupted by any amendment but was passed by two-thirds of the meeting . The Secretary was instructed to write as speedily as possible to the Northern Slur office . The meeting then quietly separated to their own homes at rather a late hour .
Sir , —How much better would the working class of this country be if they would lend their money to their friends instead of their enemies . How soon would they relieve themselves from the thraldom they are now suffering under , and crying to those who have put the burden on the backs of the working class to pull it off which ia against their interests . Let them do this , or use their monies for the establishment of co-operative stores , and they will soon emancipate themselves . I say—Let all such societies only do this , and our tyrants will have occasion to tremble ; yea . and they will be then put to the extreme of their shifts , which will banish before their mighty strength of union .
