The execution arose out of an action at the instance of Mr . Stuhbs , of Sc . Ann ' s Square , Manchester . : Looking abort the barracks after his arrival ,. Jfirom Preston , hr observed an officer go into the shop of Mr . Bajrlow , bootmaker , and having been told that he wju the taan whom he was in pursolf of , Mr . Farnworth stepped nin

" HeJ&en waited Hill th # ujt /^ taire was measured for * pair of boots , andi again addressing himy said , I Wish to Bpeak ' with you at the door . * ' •' ' ; V ' - -. ¦ ---- * On going otttBiaeV Mr . Farnworth tow him that he had an execution againBfr Trim for & large , debt , and as he did not wish thaifhe shouftl&e exposed in the street , requested him io walk ihto the ThiW Crowns with him . On entering a parlour , he shewed him the warrant , and after looking at it for a moment , the military gentleman exclaimed , Aye , it is that Manchester tnftiaess , I Bee . '" Mr . Farnworth then advised him'to' settle it , as nobody was aware of his business tner $ but themselves . The

      man of the sword Baid that aa he could not pay the money , he would be obliged to go to Lancast ' ir , and inquired what 8 Offc 4 > f a ^ rtace Lancaster ¦ was . J In consequence of having some-time to spare before the next train ( would statrt for Presion , Mr ! Farnworth sent for Messrs . Scarisbrik and Lamb . ' On their arrival the prisoner began to shoW symptoms of roughness ; and' ph being again shown the warrant , at his own request , exhibited a disposition not to return it . He then made towards the door stating that he would not stop there . Mr . Farnworth finding matters assuming rather an unpleasant aspect , sent for constables Heath and Smith . Shortly after their arrival , the prisoner commenced

      operations by wrenching off the bell-rope , which was suspended in the room—anBweriug always to the name of Fraser when addressed . He again attempted to go out , which being resisted , he struck Mr . Farnworth several severe Blows . : About six o ' clock , Mr . F . told him it was time to move , as they must go by the next train ^ to which h 6 answered— "You are under a fllistakejtl am not the man . " Mr . F . said— "Well , we ll jjjjp shall keep you here till I send for the persoirfnib served the writ , in order to his identifying yo ^ . " - ¦ ' < * Mr . W . Strickland , clerk to llessrsjjferd and Ackerley , soon came for that pupose ; btflfihe prisoner would not allow him to see his nice ; which he

      covered with two handkerchiefs , Mr . F&rnworiit said it was time to light the- gas ; and , on Mrs . Borgoin coming in to do so , the prisoner prevented her by thrusting his knee against her body and kicking her upon the shins , using the most obscene language at the same time . In order to prevent a light being struck , he made an effort to wrench off the gas piping . On the landlord vmaag . iir to jw «* eot *« wife , the prisoner pnt himself in a fighting altitude . About this time , another * officer , of the name of Cash , arrived , and , on hearing the lahdlordi'ebuking his military brother , he raised his stick , and threatened to knock him down , which he was only prevented from doing by constable Smith receiving the blow .

      When Cash at first came in , he said'to the prisoner — "Well , Fraser , what ' s the matter with you nowl " They then whispered together for a little , when Cash withdrew . He came back several times , . Oi * one of his brief visits , the prisoner said to him- —Hjis it seems I am to go to Lancaster , bring myrogjleoat over ,- " which being done , he put it < mr He tfcfen attempted several times toC go out b y ' the wladow , threatening , if he was interrupted , that' he ' would knock fils stick through it . . ¦¦ About twenty . minutes before ^ s&ven , Mr . Farnworth was informed that the man in custody was really not Frasfcr , but the Hon . Edward bidney Plunkett . H ) b informant told him that the person ag * jjtt |^ wlroitt-th «' warrant had been issued ! waa the same pwloSfaDdtowhoS ' HtmkeSlfflJdm top-coaii , adding that , lie had seM for it to go to IiMifeaaWrOthutwo afflftftiii ikanaihifc « he &iltf £ uwcaBter uutKfwovaoeis iBivuie

Several of the soldiers rushed towards that part of the room where Fraser was in the cuitody of Fariiwbrth ¦; the latter Was then seized round the waist by the Hon . "E .. S . Plankett , and dragged across the room for the purpose of freeing the pri * soner from his grasp . Several soldiers , whUe Mr : Farnworth was held by Plunkett" and others of ^ the

      military , took Fraser back to the barracks , shooting and huzzaing . Matters by this time began to assume £ 0 serious an aspect , that such guests as were in the house at the moment made their retreat through the windows , and in such way as they best could . Mr ; M'NfeUlle / bne of the borough magistrates , was iiistantrf ' on the spot , and remonstrated Strongly with the military , informing them that he would cause the ^ hole ' matter to be communicated to Lord Hill . In ashen time after Mr . Farnworth , accpmpanied by'Mr . Whittle , chief constable , proceeded to the offlcerB apartments in the barracks , requesting to see the commanding officer , when Cash presented himself , whom he addressed , requesting that Fraser might be given un . addine that " if the debt " and * cbsts

      were paid that would answer the purpose . One of ithe officers replied " We are no lawyers ; " which was followed by another saying " You had betterbe nicking your body out of this , otherwise jou wilf certainlv be hurt . " , ; / OtW witnesses were examined , whose evidence itis not necessary now to give . The town during' 'the whole evening was in a state of high excitement . This gross outrage and resistance to the civil power is perpetrated at a moment not at' all likely to increase the people ' s relish for a large standing army —at a moment when the upper and middle classes feel called upon to come voluntarily forward to utuse means f > r the sustenance of the unemployed

      ^ operative population , the strength of whose blood and bones has been extracted for the purpose of feeding and pampering a military for the protection of the country . Such conduct is nothing short of a military despotism . Matters will not better eo long as the sons of the aristocracy are quartered on the country at-such annual expense to the industry of the nation , and the reduction of the means of living to the industrious poor . A lesson has been . long required to be taught to military officers—the present is a fit opportunity ; and if Lord : Hill and the Government do not afford such-a lesson as will prodiice a lasting and a salutary effect-upon the -qffiwara jf _ ihe army It will become the dntv of tha '

      people to look to themHelves , and ^ todemand from ihe Government and the House of Commons'that reduction of the standing army of this country which has been so long called- for : By some of the friends of the nighest interests ?** the land . What ! are the people to be taxiridden and starved to maintain a set of idle fellows fePiesfet tile laws of the country . Thiscase is something very difie rew from a mere effasion of BradshawiBm or Robyism whea the wine is circulating at a ConBervative dinner . It will become the duty of the Peers to give publicity to what we have related , that the ' eonddot of these men ma ^ be made known throflghbot the land . May we inquire whether-this personating Plunkett' is

      one of the young Frisk' Hanmbals who hav » ' been always distingufehedfor their peculiar conduct ; and who , we may also ask , ia the Hon . Adolphtis Frasor f Haveihase men been trained to Ht 6 prdfessions of their fathers i F » r some time past rumour , has beea tety . tasy ^ witli atateme ^ tBrregarding the . ift 0 ralUy . 9 f » certain depirtmejat of rthO ; barrack ^ ' : -of this borough . How , however , i 4 the proper ijme to hdte matters thoroughly sifted . * , Will Lord' Hill , strip ; these gentlemen of their auflpUBsions 1 'We shall see . At all events , we can ' pay ; tiiis , that th , o case is one of that kind which requires that some maxkqd course should be adopted . Even-banded justice is required for all parties . ¦ ' -. '

Most of the party . haft bludgeons and sticks . I ^ counted nineteen banners . I savr- ^ e defendants there . They proceeded to a waggon , whioh'was in the

      Marketplace . The townspeople were tfetemtitied to prevent the meeting from taking place , and the Sigh Sheriff of the county was there . At -this 1 time there were a thousand or twelve hundred men in the Marketplace . The defendants were about to get into a waggon when I received a blow from one / of the party . I returned the ty 6 w , and then a general conflict took place : Tke t » rty which had entered the town were dispersed , and ^« flags we » e destroyed . 1 apprehended two persons . 'One of them had a long sharp carving knife in his pocketi and he had also a bludgeon with a piece of lead -attaoheiito . theMid . , The other had a small dagger arid a Hf ^ pireserver . ' [ The witnisss produced these weapons ,

      which appeared to be of a fonnidable character . ] Croestixamined by . Mr . Cockburn—The Chartista were routed by a small number of men .. I did not see fifty persons opposed to them at any one time . There was a great disturbance , but I did not hear the Sheriff threaten to read the Riot Act The Sheriff instructed me to see Roberts out of the town . The people were very violent against hhn , and it was with difficulty that I saved aim from violent UBage . The people endeavoured to separate me from Roberts , but I had pledged myself to Bee him out of the town . The persona who routed the Chartista were the young men of the town , and the young . farmers round the town .

      Cross-examined by Carrier—There had been a meeting of Chartists at Devizes before the 1 st of April , but I was not there . The meeting was over before I arrived , but I saw a number of persons around the Curriers ' Arms . That was on the Friday week before . There was a disturbance in consequence of some of the Chart-«« t 8 being inside the house . I never recommended the magistrates to allow you to come into the town peaceably . There had baen a handbill issued by the magistrates © ailing on the people to become special constables . The person I took the carving knife ftdm wtanota knife-grinder . He was one of the strangers . The inscription on one of the banners was ; "Why grind-ye the face of the poor ? " I saw a little blood spilt ; there w . as GhartiatJblufid ^ jwd .

      C . Griffin , examined by Mr . Hodges—I am a printer at Devizes . A few days before the meeting Vincent ordered me to print this hand bill . The witness produced a bill , which stated that a public meeting would be held at Devizes on the 1 st of April , in defiance of the Tory persecutors of the poor , when ^ Mr . Henry Vincent , of London , W . J . Roberto , Esqi of Bath , and other friends of the middle and working classes , would address the people . It concluded with the motto , " Long live the people . " Cross-examined by Potts—I saw the waggon broken , in which the Chartists were asaembled on the-1 st-of

      AprlL After the people were dispersed , the towns people seemed very glad .

He also

" He also said , in the oourse of the same speech , "The time will soon come when , if we are refused our rights , we will force those tyrants to give us vthat we demand .
