[ The foUw nng vdt sent for our lad but excluded by press qf matter . ^ Guild Hall . —On Saturday week , a master fancy manufacturer , of the name of George Norton , dayton WesiL appeared before J . Brook , J . Sutclifie , and T . Storkey , Esqrs . magistrates , to prefer a charge of felony against Job Midgley , fancy weaTer , LassceDs Hall , Lepton . The following is a brief statement of the case : —Job Midgley is one of the complainant ' s wearers ; he fcu often complained of unjust measurement , but his complaints hare passed unheeded * until Thursday the 16 th instant , when a piece which be was then delivering was Measured to 37 i yard *; Midgley agam couplained to both tbe

      measurer and tne master , and tbe piece was remeafiured to thirty- « ght yards . Midgley was still dissatisfied , bat , allowed the piece to be stamped , and entered in bis book ; he then folded the piece , saying , he would take it to the magistrates at Huddersfieid , and suiting the action to tne word , he walked off with the property . Mr . Norton eeat a . soaa in pursuit of Midgley , who overtook him at the Grove Inn , in Schelmondthorp , which is about a miie distant from Norton ' s establishment . The man net being able to wrest the piece from Midgley , he returned to inform his employer , who soon appeared at the head of about twenty men . The circumstance became known in the village ; a number of weavers hastened to Midgley ' s assistance , a furious fight ensued ; Mr . Graslronconstable of Schelmondthorp

      , was quickly at his post , and prevented further mischief beinft don * . Midgley , who throughout the disputed affray bad kepi possession of the piece , then delivered it into the care of tbe constable , after which , < S . Korton insisted upon Mr . Grashun taking MidgJey into custod y as a felon , and the poor weaver was detained at- Schelmondtborp till tbe following oornJBg , wjtea be was escorted to Huddersfield , aad placed in dwance vile to await an examination the following d * j , Ekhard Poilord , £ waey weaTer , LaseeikHalule ^ toJvappesred as evidence for the defendant . Mr . Xaycock , magistrates' clerk , opened the case b y reading the deposition made by order of complama&t , and which , stated that tbe piece wore by Job Midgley bad brm sneajntedran the tyiwatewntTtrMiniiittBii nf- ^*—' A < 8 a frssV » y'Ti iT

      ton ' s e * tattttbftrot , TixT I ^^» # «« C « , ofe * inch , * md Mte thumb per ford OngfaterT Compbunant ' s measurer stated , that bi& Instructions were to take thirty-dx incketf one inch , and one thumb per yard Defendant , upon betog interrogated by the bench as to his motive for taking away tne piece , said , that the last piece he delivered w&s measured five yards shorter than it ought to have been ; that he had been so often robbed in that way he was determined , if possible , to obtain justice ; thi 3 was his sole motive for taking the piece away . He bad engaged to weave by the yard ; he had always understood a yard to be thirty-six inches , stil ' , he was quite willing to allow a thumb breadth , but not thirty-seven

      inches and a thumb length . —Bichard Pollard stated , that he Baw defendant ' s piece measured to thirtyseven snd a half yards ; defendant complained to both the measurer and the master ; the piece was remeaspred to thirty-eigiit yards ; defendant still coap'ained , but allowed the piece to be stamped and entered in his book ; he thtn cuttled it . and said he would take it to the magistrates at Hnddcrsfield . —Mr . Heap , solicitor , on behalf of complainant , said , that as defendant had allowed the piece to be numbered , and entered in his book , he had no right to take it away ; his legal course was to apply to the magistrates for a summons . This plea was

      overruled by the bench . Mr . Brook said , that the defendant had property in the piece , therefore the taking it » way . because he ( the defendant ) was not satisfied with the measurement , did not constitute felony , and as tb « defendant believed the measurepent of the piece to be on just , he had a right to take it away and lay the case before the magistrates ; had defendant left the piece , another of the same pattern , to answer a proper measurement , might hive been substituted , or the piece might have been damaged , aad in either case , the ends of justice would have been defeated . ( Loud and general appaose . ) Mr .

      Brock instantly rose to order , and requested that Euch manifestations might not be repeated . The parties mutually s greed that a gentleman , unknown to either party , should be appointed to measure the piece , which was done before the magistrates , and the result was , that instead of the piece being thirtyeight , it was forty full yards , llr . G . Norton was ordered to pay for the full length and expenses . Mr . Brook said , the circumstances of the vreavara were already deplorable , it was really too bad to make them worse by such unjn ? t mem ? . He hoped that £ uch base practices would be discontined .

He * has bad ( previously ) one ox two articles , weU writUn and favourable , so far as the legal point'' went , to the patriots . This was all that from the Herald could be hoped for . He now

      says : — a In order to rightly understand the judioial resnlt of the argttment before the fifteen Judge * in the cases of JtotL , WiUiamt , and Jo ne * . oowictod of High Treason before the Special Commission ai Moamonth , it is necessary to recollect that , although but one objection was taken by tbe pri-• OBersV counsel , there were in fact two point * reserved . The first , whether tbe objection was in itself o jwx * # nel-the other , if good , whether it wot taken in time u Oa this subject the evening papers are somewhat in error . The eTenin *; organ of the Government says , very truly , that the learned Judges were divided in their opinions . It then goes on to say , ' but the

      majority decided tne point reserved in tueir favour to be untenable , and held the indictment to be jmod . " There was no question as to the validity of the indictment . If tbe Counsel for the prisoners bad any objection to the indictment they would have either demurred to it , or called upon the Court to quoth it before trial , or moved in arrest of judament afterwards . ^ 14 We stated very plainly what the points reserved were , tbe other day , separating them from all technichal verbiage , in order to maxe the matter clear to the popular apprehension . u The Standard says . We bare j « st learned that the Judges have decided ^ igainst tie objecti on in behalf of Frost , by a majority of nint to sit . ' The objection taken in behalf of Froet and bis accomplice * wss , teat the lists of witnesses were not

      delivered at the sahb TIM * with the indictment , as the statute of Anne requires . Tfow ^ we believe we are correct in saying , that with Regard to tbe v » lidity of that objection , the numbers above stated should be inverted , there being only six Judges against the objection , and nine in favour of it . Bat then eame the other point , viz ^ —whether the objection , not having been takes unto after ^ pte * pleaded , was '«**» m time . In TefereBoe tet point , three of ^¦ a ^^ i'Lt ^^ w&ii ? The division of opinion among the Judges ^ then , stands thus— -Six Judges against the prisoners on both points—three Judges against the prisoners on one point , and for them on one—six Judges in favour of the prisoners upon both of them . ** We understand the Judge ? , as to their respective opinions may be classed as follows : —

      " In favor of the objection taken by Sir Frederick Pollock and Mr . Fitzroy Kelly , that the lists of % ritnesses were not delivered in compliance v ' ylh the directions of the statute—Mr . Justice lattledale , Mr . Justice PattesoD , Mr . Baron Parke , Mr . Justice Williams , Mr . Justice Coleridge , ittr . Justice Erskine , Mr . Baron Alderson , Mr . Justice Coltman , and Mr . Baron Rolfe . " Of the above learned judges , the six lust mentioned hold also the affirmative of the second point , that the objection teas taken in time ; the last thbbb

      , the negative , that it was not taken m time . " The judges against tbe objection taken at the trial , and who , therefore , hold that the lists oftcit nestes tcere delivered conformably with the directions of the statute , are Lord Denman , Lord Abinger , Chief Justice Tindal , Mr . Justice Bosanquet , Mr . Baron Gurney , and Mr . Baron Maule . These learned judges may be said to be against both points ; for , on the negation of the first , the second falls to the ground .

      ** Such being the divided state of judicial opinion upon this grave and important question , a qaes * tion affecting the lives of three human beingB , we ask can etecutim follow ! We hold it to be fmpos gibJe . " Nine out of fifteen Judges of England , after * solemn argument of tfiree days , are of epinioa thai an essential requsite of tbe statute law in reference to trials for hign treason has not been complied with ; and although three of those nine Judges hold thai the objection came too late , not having been takes until after plea pleaded , that we contend does not remove the illegality of the eonviction . If acted npon it would only be considered as an advantage

      taken of the ignorance of prisoners before they had the active assistance of counsel , which a prisoner rery seldom has before his arraignment . u Supposing a prisoner too poor and friendless k have counsel , or that having counsel , that oounse choee to waive any advantage which the law gav < the prisoner , what then ! Should the ignorance o : the prisoner in the one case , or the derelict conduci of the counsel in the other , cause » forfeiture 6 ; rights conferred by law—a forfeiture working to thi destruction of life ) Infidelity to the cause of J client i » , indeed , rare and uncommon at the T ^» gli « T bar ; but we can conceive a period of tyranny ant blood-seeking oppression in the Government , and o servility and corruption at the bar . At such a time a legal minion of the Government , might hecomi the confidential adviser and advocate of a persoi

      whbsf the Government wished to destroy by ntani of a charge of high treason , and such an bdvocai might wittingly waive , on behalf of the prisoner advantages conferred on him by law , or omit ti take objections that would prove fatal to the prose cation . Now , suppose the Judge who tried the casi did , during any part of the trial , or even after cou viction , discover that an illegality that ought t < vitiate tbe proceedings ab initioTiad been committed in our humble notion of what the administratioi of criminal justice ought to be , we should eonsida it the bounden duty of die Judge to take such step to prevent tb « in justice and evil example of ai execution arainst law , as if the objection had beei token at the earliest possible time fey the prisons or his counteL

      u in tke c-. * e at Frost and bis companions , the objection applied to the improper delivery of tbe li * t of witn : s * es , which wad virtually the same as no delivery at all . Why should it be necessary to take tbat objection on behalf of the p ri * oner previccaly to tbe urn * when the Crown produced a witness , sod was about to place him in tbe bex ? We humbly conceive the prisoner who was servsd with a list of witnesses contrary to the directions of the statute , or with none at all , was not bound to correct tbe bhtiaders of tho Crown officers before trial .

Our readers WUl see that we argue this question strictly as a matter of law , and not as » matter of political expediency . "

      To the above just , temperate , and well reasoned wgusaent of the ablest of the Tory organs , we add the following ; from the Morning Chornick , which , from Us immediate connection with the ruling faction usually considered theofficial agent of Governww « i- *~ - ' * G *« # anxiety was manifested yesterday to learn whafroptoion had been given by the fifteen Judges . on the ; ^ QeetiiM taken by the counsel for Frostl WHriiBM . and Jones .

      The . Sun , after giving tbs dinsion of the Jadgts , proceeds to say : — " Ab all criminal statute * are construed strictly , the prisoners are entitled to an acquittal ; an « we cannot suffer ounelves for one moment to believe that the argument , that tbe objection was n « t made in time , will be allowed to influence the ultimate fate of tho prisoner * . Bat the success of the Crown Lawjers on that point is a curious matter , and complicates the question very much . The three following Judge * having in the first infttance decided that the objection was good ,

      joined the six who decided that it was not good on the second question , and came to the opinion tbat the valid objection was not made in time : Baron Aldewcn , Baron Rolfe , Mr . Justice Coltman . Thus a mtjority of nine held the objection to be good , and a majority of nine that it was not made in time . On wbat trifles—if this ba law—are the Kres of men made to depend P A * we eaid , long ago , when we first heaid that the objection was taken , it will not , we believe , be possible to execute men on a decision of tki » character .

      "It is very remarkable that two out of three of those Judges who were on the Speoial-Commission , aamelv , Mr . Baron Park © and Mr . Justice Williams , held the objection to be good on both questions ; and en this ground—as the majority of the Judges on the Commission would give judgment—the prisoners would be entitled to an acquittal . They ought , of course , not to lose the benefit of the doubt in the breasts of the Judges who tried them , and not to be placed in a worse situation than they would have been nnder the Commission . "Moreover , a writ of error on any question of fact might have been brought into the Ceurt « f Queen ' s Bench . It iB even yet in the power of the Attorney-General to bring the case before the Bench be such a writ ; and if that were done , as four of the

      Judges of the Bench were in favour of the prisoners namely-, Mr . Justices Littledale , Pattison , Williams ' and Coleridge , they would then obtain an acquittal ! Altogetbertbis case ' now becomes extremely curious as well as interesting , as showing the very uncertain operation of the Treason Law , and the other laws on which Coercionists rely for protection and safety , instead of seeking rt in the contentment , attachment , and affection of the people . ¦ " We know not that we should now plead for mercy , because we hold , and we hope that it will be bo held , that tbe great legal objection taken by the prisoners Counsel being valid , the minor legal eouBter objection , that it was not taken in time wUl not be regarded , and that consequently the pri « toners are entitled to an acquittal . We hold that , and we hope the Government also bold that , to be MrWa

      Having given , above , the division of the Judges upon tbe " point , '' and the argument of our metropolitan contemporaries upon it , let as now , in order that it may be as clear aa the four words at the same -time , " about the meaning of which the argument arose , analyse the merits of tbe decision , and tbe position in which the case stands , without reference to the construction of the act of Parliament . Six JudgeeheW against tbeobjeetioB m ftmmc—Biae held for the objection provisionally , aud six unreservedly . Thus , then , we have a right to argae that the nine who decided provisionally , g ave judgment against the crown and in favour © $ the objection ; three , however , declaring thaV the objection was not made in tim * . Now , we pass over

      the many able argaaente of counsel , distinctly proving that a certain diftW . thing was to . be done , as , regarded the indietsW , t , the list of jarow , and the lot ^ witnesses , . sw . d we * el , upon the further reqniafes of the Act of Parliament , which were not complied with by the Crown ; whieh are that , at three several stages of tbeproeeedia gs , the Crown shall ask of rthe prisoner whether be objects to the indictment , the jury list , or the list of witnesses . If , therefore , the prisoner ' s plea of " not guiiiy" had been , a waiver of any objection , either to the jury list , ; or ' the list of witnesses , why impose any Eubaequ ^' at duty npon tha Crown after plea pleaded !

      bwome balancedasrqg ^ »^^ beyon ^» ! comparison favourable to the prisoners as regards talent and legal knowledge . The three Judges , tuen Colbbjdoe , Coltmak , and Rolfz , most be sapposed to make the balance of the qnestion , and to what does their decision amount ! Why , doubtless , that the prisoners did not plead according to law ; the requisites of the Statute , under which they were tried not having been complied with ; and , as wo have previously stated , a single moment of time , being the pivot upon which the argument , in its most favourable shape , is turned by the Crown . The

      Times insinuates that the material object has been achieved , and that thedutynow devolves npon the Sovereign is merely that of sparing life . We contend that the prisoners are entitled to an acquittal , on every possible ground on which the matter can be stated . The Court , aa to numbers , was balanced upon the all-important qnestion , and divided as nine to six against the Crown upon the secondary question as to time . Bat—and here i 3 the material fact for the country—what is the judicial character of the respective Jndeesl We shall

      first take those against the point ; Dekm » n , no lawyer ; Abikger , no lawyer ; Tikdal , a well-read man , great soholar , b « t no great criminal lawyer ; Bosanquet , no lawyer ; Gdrmby , nothing ; Mawus , an able scholar , but whose appointment to the judgment-seat astonished none more than himself . Of these six Judges , two only , Djmman and Abiksbr , ' are conversant with criminal law , while the question at issue was one altogether of a criminal natare . Let us now analyse the judicial qualifications of those six Judges who decided in favour of the point .

      Baron Pa&ke , the ablest lawyer , strongest minded man , and most consummate Judge of criminal law to be found in this or any other country ; Patteso ^ Lmx . si > Aisv CoiKKUxjjs , and WjLUiits , menof great practice in orimmai law , and Judges to whose de « tBions ^ th ^ atia < wt d eference has been paid ; Ebskin * , wiie » e « le ? ation to tho judgement seatbas bee * tha only Whig appointment which appears to have given general satisfaction to the country and the bar . Thus stands the grand question , and now

      for the three Judges , who are against the Crown , np toa certain point , and only against the prisoner in point of time . Alderson , a profound and able Judge ; Coltxam , a Judge who always decides with a purity of intention , anxiety of thought , and devotion to justice ; and Rolfe , for whom Baron Aldeosom mado room in the Exchequer , in order that he may continue in equitable practioe , the sphere in which he had moved during the whole of his career .

      But the most important enquiry is " How stood the question at Monmouth , and what says tbe law ! " The law says that the benefit of every doubt shall be given to the prisoner , not only a doubt which may arise in the minds of the jurors , but any , the slightest doubt , which the law itself may create . Now we find , by this decision , the striking , startling fact , that the law and the prisoner at Monmouth change sides ; the doubt being given to the law , in support of which Chief Justice Tuidai stood alone , while the greater doubt created for theprisonor , in the judgment of Baron PARKBaud Justice Williams , was taken from the the priaoaer ; and let it never be forgotten that a Baron

      of the Exchequer ; and a Judge of the High Court of Queen ' s Bench , were , upon this Commission , in favour of the prisoners , and that a Jndge accustomed to preside at Nisi Priu 3 was opposed to the prisoners . Here we have a right to call reason and discernment in aid of our proposition , when we assert , without fear of contradiction , that Chief Justice Tindal charged the Jury , in Frost ' s case , clearly , plainly , and unequivocally , for an acquittal , which mnst have got rid of that appeal to the fifteen Judges , upon a point which he himself raised , and which , after three whole day ' s dissuasion , is precisely in the same same donbt in which it was placed before the argument was opened .

      We have now discharged out duty ; we leave the competent authorities to discharge theirs , not according to their feelings , as regards Chartism , but in tbat manner in which the law shall stand bohon ^^ , ^ — —• We have nodoobt remaittin ^ that if the people have bnt brains enough to keep quiet , and not put into the mouth of the Home Secretary an excuse for suffering the execution to take place , because the power of the law must be exhibited as woll as vindicated , the bloodhonnds are in the leash and will scarcely be able to break oat .

      The division of opinion among the Judges , and the very just and proper ground of argument taken on the matter by the Tory press , will cause a strong feeling among the middle and higher orders , as thoy are presumptuousl y termed . Many of them will look at it as a question of justice , and of sound law and good policy , while many of them , caring for none of these things , will view it as a lever which , adroitly handled , may do much to raise their party in the estimation of the conntry , and so bring about the re-action of the existence of which they love to persuade not only others bat themselves .

      The Whi « s are deep calculating dogg . They will see all this , and we have no doubt they will find it to their interest to baulk the Tories , " by assuming an attitude of extraordinary " liberalism . " But all this may be yet prevented by the peoplo , if they choose . They have only to give us another or twe > of those wise and salutary and courageous outbreaks which had their samples and precursors in Sheffield , Dewsbury , and Bradford , and the gallows , which is already built , will be instantly invested with Hs doomed victims ; the Tories will acknowledge the justice of tho Whig plea , tbat an example must be made , and will heip them in the House of Commons to obtain new stringent laws for keeping down , the the mob .

      The people now , therefore , see their way . It will be for the delegate meeting at Manchester , if it be yet thought necessary , to decide what steps it may be advisable to recommend now to the people . We fancy , however , that if Mr . € VCo » Koa bad not , in his letter , written before this informatioB > e « ald be known to him , recomawnded that meeting * he probably weald not hava done so .

We say nearly , for some of the circumstances have bsea altered « 6 as to give more scope to his malice . The cause of Ms present attack , I imagine , is because he , erroneously , supposes , me to be ttie writer of certain articles on the Coxa .
