Witness heard him make a fire i » the front p&rloor , where he lived . Witness had occasion to go down stairs , and saw the deceased standing before a safe ; a small saucepan was on Ihefire . There had been no fire there before the deceased came horns . Witness soon after went to bis own room , and shortly after the deceased again came Si stairs to the room where the children were , and ut the door . Witness thought it advisable to go and see if the fire was « afe , as the deceased was sometimes tipsy , and when he returned np stairs he heard oae of the children crvkut ; the deceased was sneak

      ing , bnt he could not bear what he said . Soon after he beard tbe deceased retching violently , and he called oat ** Fill , Hill . " upon which he went into the room and found the deceased -undressed , in a stooping position , and vomiting very much . He asked an what was the matter , and deceased replied ** We are all dead , I have done it . " He asked him what he had done , and the answer was u We have tM taken poison . " He said to him , " Not so , " bat deceased eaid , We have , look at the paper on the floor . " Witness then saw a piece of paper on the fl « or with "poison" wr itten on it . He next observed the children in the bed , who were much altered , and were retching . Witness instantly went to Mr . Underwood ; a neighbour , who advised the peHee to be sent for : he could then hear the deceased

      making a great noise . A policeman soon after arrived , and the went np stairs . The children were there , bnt the deceased had left ; they found him dewn stairs in tbe front room ; he was sitting . He t « ld the policeman he had taken oxalic acid .

Tipple , a surgeon , but when he returned with- that gentleman the deceased was dead , but the dutttea were alive . When be was speaking to aw be appeared to know what ha « aid and had done . iMy firm belief is that he i&temted wilfully to destroy bis children and himself . £ * me months since he teid mjtbe "did not value feis life . The Coroner : Hid he « rer again speak to you upon the same wbject?—Witness ; Yes , 1 beliere * t the same time b » said to me , " 1 endeavoured toiiurder my children , and takeaway Bay own life , bat I was banlked . "

He died in about eight miaates after witness ' s first seeing him . When he found fee waa -dead , witeess went ep stairs . He found one -of fcfee-childrea quite insensible , and the

      1 i ; other voadtisg very much . On the bed he saw a sugar baseo , teaspoon , and a small saucepan , quite warm , and two tin caps . Atthe foot of the bed he found tbe second paper , which he now produced , with a priated label upon it , " oxalic acid , poison ; Mr . F .

" Was it much , he asked bee , and her answer was , Yes , very much and nasty , and he give me sugar to make me take 1 it . "

      . ' ' ' ' > The Coroner— Have you any doubt he destroyed himself ! Witaess—None at all , sir . The Coroner—What do you consider was his state of mind ! Witness—From his answers to me he appeared perfectl y conscious of what he had done . Mr . Edward Tipple , of Mitcham , surgeon , said , that on his arrival at the house he found the deceased dead , and his attention was then directed to the children , whom he found up stairs . One was quite insensible , and the other very sick . He administered chalk mixture which is an antidote to oxalic acid , and having hia assistant with him , both children were attended to at once . They somewhat recovered , and are now alive . He was satisfied oxalic acid had been taken by them , which is deadly

      ! ( poison . On Wednesday he . opened the body of the deceased , and from the state of the stomach and bowels he had no doubt he died from the effects of the poison . William Hills , of Mitcham , was next examined , and stated that some time ago , when he and deceased were playing at skittles , the latter ran off with his ( witness ' s ) coat , saying there was a great deal of money in his own , which was untrue . Witness , from the conduct of the deceased , thought it advisable to keep oat of bis way . At last , however , he went for his coat , which the deceased gave him . They then want to a public-house , and the deceased disclaimed any intention of hurtine him . He was taxed with havingcarried a knifeTor that purpose , but he denied iW Whan wii&ees gsfctane he found aknifeintbepoeketfrf-ttecafttjabjMenedto anomii ' ^ teSKSsS * ' ^ ^ j ^ *

      The deceased ' s brother was called , and eonenrred in the opinion formed by the last witness that Gaan was not perfectl y sane . The Coroner then summed up the evidence . The Jury retired for a considerable time , and then brought in a verdict of temporary derangement . - The poor children ; who can scarcely be said to be out of danger , are the objects of general commiseration .

      , and eventually Attacking the embossing-room * , the machinery alo ae in which was worth £ 20 , 000 . At this juncture a supply of water was obtained , and Mr . De la F . ue calliBg Mr .

      HOUSE OF LORDS-Wednesdoy , January 22 . No Hoqm to-day , their Lordships having ad journed till Thursday .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS— Wtin $ * day , Jttn . 22 . After the srestntatiqn of sonuK-petitions , Lord J . Russell , in answer to a question , said that he hoped to introduce some jh $ asura tor amending the Poor Law Act before Easter . Sir B . Peel asked whether papers would be laid oa the table of tbe House , and wh » n , showing the resalt < tf the Penny Postage Plltrf , ami whether there would be prodaeed an acMtitorf tb » anmber of Ways Mm and-aftw ltofet «> daeUtoF ' ' Tht Chtkoellof « f th » SicVqow answend that he was ready to give the faHa » t information on tbe subject . Aa account bad been , takta' of tbe number

      of letters pasoBg th rough the whole country before acy alteration took place , also during the existence and praetice of the fou / peBny plan , and one would be prepared 6 f tbe number since tie present system came into operation . The last return had ndtyet been received , because it was not thought fit to give additional trouble at the commencement of the Penny Postage Plan , and because it was deemed best to allow some time to claps ?; the two former r « ta « ui ,. however , were qaMi ; ready , and the third woald . soon be so . . •' Srr R . Peel observed that it Woald be well to have a return of the results of the last , as well as the first week of the Fourpenny Postage .

      Mr . Maekinnbn asked whether any alteration was proposed in the Constabulary Act . His constituents had to pay rates for the Constabulary Force as well aa tbe Town Force , and they felt aggrieved thereby . Mr . F . Maule stated that it wets the intention to introduce a bill to remedy that part of the act . The House then resumed the consideration of the question of privilege , arising out of the case , Stockdale v . Hansard . ' Mr . T . Dunoombe moved for copies of the warrants under which Stockdale and tbe sheriffi * had been committed to custody . Lord J . Russell said it was very unusual to make such an application ; but the motion was ultimately agreed to .

      Sir E . KnatcbbuU asked whether it was intended to remove the individuals , now in custody , from the house ? Lord J . Russell answered that it was not . It was stated that there would be , elsewhere , an application for a writ of habau corput ; and , under all tbe circumstances , it was deemed advisable to keep the prisoners in the custody , of the house for tbe present . The noble lord , having moved that Mr . Burton Howard , the attorney of Stockdale , be agais called in .

      Sir E . Sugden , as an amendment , moved to add the words ' » for the purpose of being forthwith discharged . " He contended that there was no necessity for tbis further vindication of what were termed by tbe majority tbe privileges of that h « use , by the exercise of a power that was already exhibited in tite committal of Steckdale and of the sheriffs into custody . ¦' . -. ; The Attorney-Genera ^ opposed the amendme nt . The attorney bad proceeded in the action , in the knowledge that he , was thereby acting against resolutions of that fcpune * ; Tbe object of bis commitment would beA > dtasrtahMt , from acting in a anriWm anDCTmf «* # Ss ** ad for ketiutionv

      .. nan and , unless the boui « ag ^ Mtavthe ^ resent motion , they ^ ould' stultify all tbeir % rm * r prooeediDgB In this matter . - ' - % v Mr . Freshfield protested teaintt a measure which went to deprive a prisoner « his attorney's advice . The example of commitmftat would not deter other attomies from doinr tiieirdatf . Mr . Sergeant Talfourd , in * veTy feefiogand manly address , opposed the asromption of power to commt , and animadverted upotf Sir Robert Peel ' s jpeech of Monday last The quettum ; he said , -had reached

      » pomt aoove au tecmueaunes : it was come to this—whether the serene mtiesty of the estabUsbed law should prevail , or tb » paaaons of a fluctuating , popular , and partisan assenibly ? They were now proceeding against the attorney , passing by the counsel and the indies , and letting I dare not wait upon I woul 0 V - Individual tyranny was [ ar preferable , for aa individual had his misgivings and relenting *;; , but a majority had no remorse , and the preoedent mjght be abased to worst results ,. ¦ . Sir Robert Peel defended bis former speech , and vindicated his own conduct by urging that it was in cenformity with the wneral resolutions of the

      House , which had beea adopted with the concurrence of several leading la * yers on both sides tie , an unprofessional n *» , ought not to be blamed in- having acted accordingto the best Hgbts he could obtain .

      important sobjeet , demonstrated the inexpediency aad temity ot tho coarse which tbe House bad been and was still punning . There was , he admitted , a considerable divbnon among lawyers on the question wbetbAr the House had or had not the power of privileging its publications ; but on the really material question—the claim to exclude the juris * diction ot the courts of law-rflinety-nise in a hundred of the whole bar were opposed to thepretennons

      of the House . He bad challenged hu adversaries to produce a single case since that of Asbby and White , " when the House had attempted to stay an action ; but no such case had been produced . He then exposed the etror of those who nuided that the practice of injunctions from courts of equity furnished any analogy tor suspensions Qf proceedings by | be House , and reminded his hearers that the disjunction is as much a writ of t *»« Qaeen a * the Wnt it countermands . But tae House was not a

      court to issue a writ ; it had not even the power belonging to almost ever ; court of administenng . an oath ' , which wan a remarkable deficiency in a court deolared to possess every power necessary for the elucidation of truth . This committal would not stop Howard , from" bringing other actions . Though himielf imprisoned , he would practise by bis clerks . To'Strke him off the roll would indwd be a prevention ; butting the courts would not do } and if they struck off Mr » . ^ Howard hundreds of o ther attorney a would undertake the duty . A petition was coming which would be signed by almost the entire bar ; and that learned < feedy would submit to every penalty rather than conform to the orders now in

      progress . Let the House then judge whether thi * commitment was likely to prevent further actions . One only mode of prevention existed—an Act of Parliament . Bring in such an Act , and you settle the whole question as it ought to b& settled . Mr . Pigot , with a good deal of ingenuity , insisted on the analogy ol the injunction ; and denied that any tenderness ought to be shown towards the attorney , who must have acted either on a principle of defiance or with a view of profit . Mr . Sergeant Jackson ably answered hjm , and waA followed , in a long / speech , 4 > y Sir-Cbarles Grey . ' ' ; ' : " ' ' '¦ " ¦¦ ' ' ¦ ' '¦ ¦» Tbe House then decided by a divbnon that Mr . Howard should be called in . He adOHtted bimself to have been SttieUala ' s at ^ oraev in all the nctum * . '

      and expressed his regret that he should thereby have ii » plea « ed the Heose . ' ¦ ¦ ' *¦ Upon this Lord John Russell intimated that he thought the exigency of privilege was' so far satisfied as to allow Mr . Howard's discharge j but this was bitterly resisted by Lerd Howick ^ with whom Messrs . Hume , Warburton , and O'Connell concurred , none o ! them , however , proposing to take a vote upon the matter . Sir Robert Peel then suggested that Mr . Howard should first be adjudged guilty of a contempt , and admonished by the Speaker , and then discharged ;

      and on that hint the Attorney-General , with the concurrence of Lord John Rnxsell , moved , as an amendment on Lord John ' s motion , that Mr . Howard had been guilty of contempt , and that Mr . Speaker should reprimand him . Sir Robert Inglu , and other gentlemen , contended for Lord John ' s original proposal : but they were defeated on a division , in which Lord John voted against his own motion—a worthy termination to tbe Noble Lord ' s career on these important debates .

      The Houee divided on the motion ; and it was decided by-17 % for , and 8 S against the motion , that Mr . Howard be called to the bar , reprimanded , and die charged . Tae motion having been carried , Mr . Howard was called to the bar , reprimanded , and discharged . — . On the motion that the House resolve into commute * on that part of her Majesty ' s speech which related to the making of a . provision for his'Serene Hu ( bness the Prince Albert , Lord J ; Rurtgell said that Ke bad , as cloiely as possible , endeavoured to follow precedent .

      Mr . Goulbum urged the importance of having the fullest information possible on the subject , previously to being called on to sanction any vote or proceeding . Lord J . Russell said that , under such circumstances , he wan ready to defer bis statement until Friday . The Bill for the Exhibition of a Bill for the Naturalixation of Prince Albert was then considered , nd proceeded with . After some conversation , the House then adjourned .

      Thursday , January 23 . [ This day the Commons did not dt , as only thirty six members were , present whan the business should have commenced . In the Lord * ,. the Earl of Ripon moved for some papers on financial matters , which , alter a speech lrom Lord Melbourne , was agreed to , and the House adjourned . ¦ .

      NEWPORT RIOTS . : . ' ' . ¦ ' ' : ' " "' ' £ '' . ' - : ' Newport ^ Tnesday . In my letter from Moritnouth I stated that some ridks belonging to Mr , Protheroe had been wilfully set on fire . Upon making enquiries , however , here , I findthe following to be the true state of the case :-Jenkin Morgan , one of the men who pleaded guilty to the charge of high treason , was a tenant to Mr . Protheroe , and he had $ large . rick of hay on the land . After Morgan was committed for trial , his wife proceeded to sell small portions of the bay . As , however , he owed some rent to his landlord , Mr . Protheroe put a stop to these sales , and arranged to take the rick at a certain sum , audit remained on the premises . Two days after several of the

      prisoners had been discharged und « r the special commission this rick was found burning , and was ultimately entirely consumed . There can be no doubt that it was willfully set on fire , and Mr . Protherae has offered a reward of £ 1 ( J # for the diBcevery of the offender . Considerable excitement still prevails here , as rumours are continually coming from the hills that the Chartists meditate another attack . The 10 th Hussars patrol all the roads in the neighbourhood every night , and the soldiers are quite prepared , if any attempts are made to do mischief . An evening paper states , that all parties in Newport are much pleased with the leniency shown the prisoners . This , however , is not tne case , for persons

      of all political parties use this argument . The depositions of all the papers were laid before the law officers of the crown . Some time since those officers selected the parties who should be indicted for high treason ; therefore , of course , considering them fit objects for some kind of punishment ; the trials take place ; three out of twelve persons are found guilty , when an ingenious advocate , knowing that the law term had commenced , and that the Parliament would Bit in a day or two , and therefore that a protracted stay at Moumouth would be attended with inconvenience , threw out a bait , and suggested a compromise ; it took some hours , though , before the terms could be settled—and there was great difficulty to induce some of the prisoners to plead " guilty ; " five , however , did so uoouan

      understanding that an imprisonment should be their greatest punishment , and that if they would not consent , they would certainly be convicted of the riot , ana then transported . There then remained four who had been so selected by the law officers of the Crown . Against them no evidence was offered , and they were instantly discharged , without even entering into their bwn recognizances for their future good behaviour , while others who were indicted only for tne minor . offences were prosecuted to conviction and punished . The inhabitants of Newport , and the magistrates , cannot quite comprehend why some who were charged with the higher crime should be thus set at liberty , while those who were only indicted for a lesser crime should be thus punished .

      THE STORM . During tbe last few days the weather at Liverpool has been exceedingly rough and boisterous , with alternations of calm and , for the season of the year , warm and beautiful weather . Af er continuing thus capricious several days , on Friday night the weather appeared to have settled into a calm , which bade fair to be durable . A change , however , speedily took place , and Saturday was dark , wet , and . gusty . Towards night the wind rose to a gale , whiph , with occasional intermissions of short duraition , increased till Sunday morning . In the afternoon of Moaday frequent symptoms were manifested that the storm was on tbe increase . The

      barometer , before low , fell considerably , and the frequent strong guts damped the feelings of semewio had cherished hopes that the tempest was abating . Such was the violence of ibte wind towards midnight and ; shortly afterwards , when the tide was at flood , that nany ef the fiunilies -residing in the mort exposed situations near the town , father did not retire to rest at all , or having done so , arose and kept watch during the night , About three o ' clock on the morning of Tuesday , the tempest was terrific Daring a ^ full hour it Wew wittt suon fury , that those whose dwellings were in exposed situations

      apprehended-a repetition of somptbing like the exteatdve damage caused by the visitation of liurt year . The tempest seemed to « ome , as it frequently does , on the top of the tide , which was tbe highest of the month , being a nineteen feet tide . It was flood about one o ' clock , and from that time till three the wia « blew a tornado , and We have heard many express an opinion mat the gale at this period was tbe heaviest that was ever experienced in , Liverpool . The river , between one and three o ' clock on Tuesday afternoon , presented a wildly magnificent appearance . The tide was of course increased in

      height from the westerly direction of the wind , and the water was nearly on a level with * he piers , over which the wind carried the spray in a complete drifL drenching those who exposed themselves so far to the fur ) of the storm . In fact , when tae tide * as at flood , the billows rolled completely over tke pier walls wbiob fronted the river , and rendered a near approach to the brink impracticable . The force of the wind , too , was occasionally so great , that indi . vtduals who nntured to quit the sheltering proieo > tions Wnere they had placed themselves , were frequently whirled away without any command of their persons , while others deprived of breath , b&fflsd by tne rush of the wind against Which they bad not the slightest chance of stemming , made * precipitate retreat . .

      At three o ' clock on Taesday afternoen ,. a 8 a woman named . Mary G-arrick , a fruit Tender , was sheltering from the severity of the gale in the rear of a landing waiter's hut , on the south quay of the Waterloo Dock , a fariou * gurt of wind overturnsd tae hut upon her . A police-officer and * everal men instantly raised the hut , and extricated the poor woman , who was severely injured . She was conveyed to the Northern Hospital , little hope being entertained of her recovery . Oa Tuesday , about two o'clock in the afternoon , shortly after high water , when tbe gate was atthe highest and the river very rough , a boat , with four seamen , named Robert Cawson , William West ,

      John Patterson , and Evan Owens , left tne Government packet Medusa , for the purpose of making a rope fast to a mooring-rbuoy , opposite the George ' s Pierhead , en the Cheshire side of the river , bat the wind and tide being too strong , they were unable te reach it , and were earried down , notwithstanding they made the greatest exertions in order to gain their vesaeL The critical and dangerous position io which they were placed being observed by a number of individuals on the Pierhead , ropes and life-buoys were prooured , in the Jiepe that the poor but brave fellows would be able to make the , George's Dock , basin ; in tbia attempt , however , tfcey were foiled ^ Nothing was expected but tbat the boat would

      swamp , and tboae on board meet aft untimely deith : On several occasions the unfortunate eiew held up their oars , as if supplicating aid , which were but dimly visible through the spray continually lashing over them j while the boat was toised from one billow to another , and seeming , ac eaca succeeding dash , to be engulphed between the waves . Hope cheered the hardy crew to further exertions , and by good management they kept the bow of their little oraft to the wave . In this , state they were rapidly driven down tbe river , followed by hundreds , on the Prince ' s Pierheafl , who exhibited tbe keenest anxiety for the safety of . the"ibut men , a number of persons carrying with them ropeti and life-buoys . The boat wai at last driven against tbe sea-wall at the

      Waterloo Dock , and lines being thrown down , the four seamen were happily landed tafe , totbeigreat joy of those who had so anxiously watched their tearful situation . The boat was afterwards hauled round to Prince ' s Dock-basin , being very slightly damaged . The same day , the schooner Mary Anne , of this port , Tedford , cemmander , inward bound from Dundalk , wittt a cargo of seeds and oatmeal , Was driven on shore opposite BreckeU ' s mill , ab « ut half-past two o'clock . She is the property of Messrs ^ Battersby and Macfold . She had notttustained any considerable damage . Tne Red Rover , from Newfoundland , was also driven ashore opposite Waterloo , in the early part of the day . All hands safe . -

      On the afternoon of Tuesday , one of the pilots was knocked overboard from No . 5 pilot-boat , by the main boom , at the mouth of the river . The punt , with four pilots , was immediately lauched to endeavour to save him , but a heavy squall coming on , the punt filled , and one of tbe four pilots , in additioM to the man knocked overboard , was drowned . The remainder were faved by the saip Majestic , at anchor off the Rock , who threw ropes to thtm , and succeeded in getting them on board . The names of the pilots drowned were R . Lloyd and Mark Hudson . -

      The Dock Committee , we learn , sent out a steamer to ascertain the state of the light ships . The sea , however , ran so high that tbe steamer could not get alongside of either of them , as she r . fi / st intended . She reported , however , that they were all secure , and would , without doubt , be enabled to ride out on the gale . ' - Tbe storm abated considerably during tbe nigbt of Tuesday , theughit still continued to blow pretty stiftly , as it did aim during the whole of yesterday . —Liverpool Mail , Tjjureday .

Muntz proceeded to address the "Electors / ' amid a perfect storm of hisses , groans , and calls of every description . His seconder , Mr . Salt , too , had to retire , for the

      meeting would not hear him . The following is a description of the close of the proceedings from the Birmingham Advertiser : — A Non-Elector—Did you not , Mr .. Muntz , state atthe Public Office on Monday , that you would not vote for Universal Suffrage because it would give votes to menial servants ! Mr . Muntz—Is that all 1 I don't hear yon . A Non-Elbctor—Yes , and you yesterday refused , in the most dastardly manner , to sign a petition to save the life of the unfortunate Mr . Frost . ( Great uproar . ) Mr . Aciand , the Corn Law Lecturer , corroborated the statement . ( Loud groans at Mr . Muntz . ) Mr . Muntz ' s answer was , " No , for I consider an example

      necessary . " ( Reiterated groans . ) Mr . Muntz—All Englishmen believed a man innocent until he was found guilty . Now Mr . Aciand was a di rty scoundrel . ( Great tumult . ) Mr . Edmonds appealed to the meeting in behalf of Mr . Muntz . He regretted Mr . Muntz had spoken so strongl y . Mr . MuNTS—He had not spoken too strongly . He would tell them exactly what had taken place between Mr . Aciand and him . He ( Mr . M . ) attended at the Public Office on Monday ni ^ nt ; and , on leaving the Office , Mr . Aciand asked him if he had any objection to sign a- petition on behalf of Mr . Frost ? He ( Mr . M . ) replied that it was

      a serious affair , and he would take time to cousider of it ; when Mr . Aciand replied— " I will no ' t ask yon to do it . " He ( Mr . M . ) never heard' anything more about it Until that morning . ( Cheers . } He lamented the position of Mr . Frost , but What did he do ! He got together a quantity of men- ' A Woman in the principal Gallery . —He never did . ( Immense uproar and laughter . ) ¦ Mr . Muntz . —It was stated in all the accounts , from all sides , that he headed a quantity of men to attack an ho'el , and when be had . gbt them into peril ran away . He ( Mr .

M . proceeded to state the circumstances under which he was induced to come forward , and explained at considerable length hia political opinions .

      wmen are already well known to the public . Mr . Babkbb , on behalf of Sir C . Wetherell , briefly addressed the meeting . . . A show of hands was taken , and declared to be in favour of Mr . Muntz . The consequence was , that both Mr . Sturge and Mr . Allen retired , and the contest will now , therefore , be between Sir Charles Wetherell and Mr . Muntz .

      GREAT MEETING OF RADICALS AT ' HYDE . On Monday evening , January the 20 th , a large meeting-was held in the Radical Association Room , Hyde . Although tile meeting was only announced by the bellman at four o ' clock in the afternoon , not le § s than one xhomand persons met to display their deep sympathy witk Mr . Frost aad bis eo-patriot » in Walet . The chair was taken by Mr . Isaac Bottomley , who opened the meeting by some forcible observations on death punishments generally , and on the bwbaroas sentence passed upon Messrs . Frost , Williams , and Jonei , for tbe remission of which they were that night met

      The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr . Wm . Thompson , of Newcastle , aud Mr . Deegan , of Staleybridge . The proceedings throughout were moamfully interesting . The whole of tbe meeting , especially the" female part of it , was deeply affected . Two reeolmionB were agreed to , and earried without a di * sentiDg voice . 1 . ' That tbi » meeting deeply sympathises with the prisoners now under sentence of death , and their families , believing them to have been influenced by a sincere desire to aid the people in obtaining their rights . " 2 . « That a petition be forwarded to her Majesty , praying far a remusion of the sentence passed upon them . " The following is a copy of the petition agreed to by the meeting .

      PETITION . The Petition of the people of Hyde , in public meeting assembled , to Her Majesty the Queen , Bhewetk , —That your petitioners have heard with turprise aud indignation , that a verdict of guilty has been found against John Frost , E ? q ., Zepkaaiah WiQiams and William Jonus , and that sentence of death has besa passed upon them . That your petitioners are of opinion that the evidence-adduced is insufficient to sustain a charge ^^ tK ?™*?** , " **^ frwa ^ tant ^ iafe in the boys Rees and Cok » , but abo from tae feet that

      some of tbe jurois were misnamed ; arfor instance , one of them is called Christopher John instead of John Christopher . That indegeadent of this , your petitioners are of opinion that no such objeets were contemplated as those spoken of in this indictment , their only object being to give a display of their moral power , and of the numbers anxious to obtain a mitigation of the punishment of Henry Vincent , now in Monmouth gaol . The fact of Mr . Frost having given orders not to commit any violence , shews them to have entertained the meat peaceable intentions .

      That the known humanity « f John Frort , Esq ., especially , not only in aia private capacity as an inhabitant of Newport , but as one af your Majesty ' s Justi ce * of the Peace , his poblio conduct in that responsible situation proves ais incapability to become a party to asy scheme involving a destruction of life and property . That vour petitioners wish most respectfully to vl » ' i hHmble Potion before your Majesty , in behalf of tbe prisoners above-named , that by an exercise of your royal clemency , their sentence may be remitted , tad they be restored to their familial and their country . And your petitioners will every pray . Signed on behalf of the meeting , Isaac Bottoio , bt , Chairman .
