{ Before Mr . Baron Gurney and a Special Jury . ) REGIKA & TIXCKKT AM ) EDWARDS . Very great excitement prevailed in Mdnmouth for many days previous to Yincent and Edwards being brought to trial , it being feoerslly understood that Tiacent -would defend himself . At nine o ' clock , on Holiday morniag , the Court was crovrded to excess ; and a Special Jury having been sworn , 3 Jr . Sergeant TALForBD , with whom were Mr . Rtchabds and Mr . Whatelet , stated that this was an iadictsaeat for a conspiracy , " to effect great changes in the GoTemment by illegal means , and also for an tmlawful assembly , with which the defendants were
eharged , together with John Frost , who was not now 01 * hia trial . The defendant , Edward * , carried on the business of a baker at Newport , aad also sold certain puba-stions , one o ! which was written by the defendant "Vincent , who came into this county a stranger , as a " dt legate from a body called the National ConTeation , SLd this body proposed to carry into effect what was died the People ' s Charter , and the question would be ¦ whether the changes they proposed were to be attempted to bs carried by Tiolence or by constitutional means . It -vreuld appear that the defendant found in Mr . Frost a powerful ally , and in the other defendant another supporter , and in an institution called the Working Hcji ' 8 Association he also found the convenient maeL . 'Dcry for carrying on his operations . The three
defen icnts first Tiiet near Pontypool , on the lBt January 1 * 29 , and on that day a procession was formed , with bannera and devices ; and at the house of Jones , the ¦ w- . tehmaker of Pontypool , the defendants met , and ni-or the house of a person named Llewellyn a hustings was erected . It was there proposed that Ed-Warda should take the chair , and he opened the meeting by saying that he had a strong arm , and that theiv w . TOld be rossy lives lost , and he was not afra-d to lose his own ; and h « then introduced Mr . Frost , ¦ who made some observations on her Majesty respecting her Lords cf the becbamber of an offense .-kind , and Mr . Yinrent , who had formerly been a printer , made some Btrong remarks on the House of Commons . He said that the shopkeepers were oTer fce
¦ working people , the farmers over the "Shopkeepers , the parsons over the farmers , the hiwyers over tte paisoap , and the army ot « them , asd a pretty little bauble " * t the top , and they would all tumble down , anu " they"would then haTe equal rijhts and equal property . Tais was followed by other meetings' of less importance ; sal tfecn followed a meeting , on the 5 to of April , aiwhkh Mr . Vincent did not attend , on account of goinethmg which occurred afcDeTizea ; but that meetir ^ was artended by Mr . Ea-vrsrda , and he addressed themej ^ infti language which he ( th e Learned Serg * antHu > ped ' was without parallel , as it would Itfoaad that Mr . Edwards used , with fearful fo-rce , the dcnanciati'M of Heaven ' s vengeance contained in the ¦ Old Testament ( The Learned Sergeant here sUtei the egfact of the language of the defendant Edwards , as it
: " •** afterwards given in eTidence ) . On the 24 th ef ^ prS there was another meeting , at which Mr . Yin-X ^ ifcaid " Will you act with the Convention in ulterior •^ Tf ^ eeAingB if the Charter is refused » ' * And the people « ried •« We wilL" And other language was used which ¦ would be deposed to by the witnesses . If the defendants' real object was the obtaining of what they called the Charter by legal means , he could not ask a Terdict against them , although in the heat of oratory some unguarded expressions might hare been used . The Jury would hear from the witnesses what the defendant * had said at the meetings—not the entire * of their Speeches , but particular expressions—and it would be for them to say on the whole of the cstae , whether rnoi they were satisfied * h * 4 the charge had been made out
David Jones—I am a commercial agent at PontypooL I lived there in January in the-last year . There was a meeting in a field at the back of Llewellyn ' s house . I saw a procession pass between twelve and one . There were 200 or 3 » 0 . I knew Joses , the ¦ watchmaker , at Pontypool . The procession called at his house , and was joined by Mr . Frost , Mr . Yincent , and Mr . Edwards . The procession went to Pontypoo ) and returned . They had banners and music . On their return their number had doubled . There was a hustings near Llewellyn ' s . I saw the defendants and others tfctre . It was proposed that Edwards should take the chair . and h ** Sd bo on a show of hands . Edwards stated the five points of the Charter , which were Annual Parliaments , Yote by Ballot , Universal Suffrage ,
Payment of Members , and No Property Qualification . Be said the people of JTewport were resolTed to hare the Charter , and he had a good strong arm to assist it . He said he had no doubt many liTes would be lost ia the cause , and he was ready to lose his own ; and that the people paid 15 s . 6 d- in the pound in taxes , and would not stand it much longer . He introduced Mr . Frost as John Frost , Esq ., a magistrate of -Jf ewport Frost said the Pri-ry Council receiTed more than was paid in direct taxes in the counties of Monmouth , Glamorgan , and Brecon . He said they receiTed £ 630 , 000 a year . He said , " The Qneen has twelve Lords of the Bedchamber ; now what would you think if your ¦ wife or your sister bad twelve strapping chaps about her bed-chamber ? Would you aot discard yosr Bister .
and look out for another wife ? The Queen has also fcwelre Grooms of the Bed-chamber ! if a gentleman in this part of the country hires a groom , he is expected to clean his horses , bat what these chaps do for the Qaeaa I do mot know . " Mr . Edwards said Mr . Vincent vas recommended by Mr . O'Connor as a friend of the Working diiwi , and was a delegate from Bristol to the ¦ Convention . I&x . Vincent said he was ready to suffer Imprisonment ox death in the cause of the Charter . He -described the House of Commons as a long room , with » chap up at one end of it with a bag-wig on , and a lot of fellows sitting round , some drunk and some asleep , sad , on the whole , they were a set of drunkards , money-grinders , gamblers , and tyrants . He said the people at the north were determined to send the
members to the right abort . He said the House of Commans were aH fools and enemies of the working classes . Ho said some fine morning the people would all rise and send them about thsir business , and haTe a new House of Commons , and the men of Wales would join and put the House in ordt r . He said the men of Bristol , Yorkshire , Lancashire , Trowbridge . and Newport wouM all join them in gettingthe Charter , and eras the tyrants at cue blow . The soldiers , he said , would not fire on them , but would joim them , aad they would put the women in front , and the soMiera wonld not fire on them . He Biid the working classes were oppressed , and would not stand it mnch' longer . Tht " working peopla , he said , hid the shopkeepers on them , the farmer * were on the shopkeepers , the parsons ol the fan&trs
- , tht lawyers on the parsons , the army on the lawyers , the GoTemment on the army , and thert was a pretty little bauble on the top ; and the people of Wales should make a long leek and stretch it across toe channel and join Ireland to Wales , and they would wriggle and twist till those aboye them fell down , and ¦ the pretty little bauble on the top would come down , » Ed they thea wonld haTe equal righto and equal property . Frost was proposed as a delegate for Newport , Pontypo « l , &ni : Caerleon . snd returned thanks , as is usual at elections . At the conclusion of the meeting they formed in procession and the procession departed , Vincent announcing a meeting on the same eTening at the King's : Head , at Pontypool , and there was a meeting of ooo or 700 . On the 5 th . of April there was a meeting in -the room at the King ' s Head . The admission was 3 d . Edwards was there . He addressed the meeting . He began by inTokimg a blessing on their proceedings . He said Yineent was ill from his treatment at Dtvizes .
and eould not come , and Frost was not able to come , be was so much grieved at hearing the news from Devizes . I heard Edwards say he would not give a tinker ' s for a Chartist who would not haTe hi * head cleaved through for the Charter , and he had 4 , 000 or 5 , 000 men at Blackwood , whom he could call together at the blow of his horn , and every Whig and every Tory ought to haTe a t « npenny nail driren through his heart into the platform . Thei * were ¦ women present , and he said eTery woman Who would not sign the Charter ought to go to h . Hoses and the Israelites were mentioned . He compared toe men to the Israelites , and the masters to the Egyptians . He said he was Moses , and as the Israelites despoiled their oppressors , so wo » ld they . About 25 © were present . I attended the meeting on the 2 © th of April , at a be « r shop , and on the 24 th . The first consisted of 0 , 000 « r 1 , 200 . TfcfrlMi ef 700 or 800 persons . I dont think anything particular transpired at these meetings .
Croes-exxmined by Mr . Carrixgtox—One of the banners at the first meeting had on it "Peace , Law , and Order . " Bdwards advised them to obey the laws , and injure Mather persoDS nor property . The speeches at the first meedng lasted three or four hours . Frost Aid if any one dissented he should haTe a fair hearing . I heard one of the speakers ad-rise them to be peaceable . I saw papers which were signed , and which were stated to be petitions . Cross-examiaed by Mr . Vineent—TToa told the first meeting that one of Lord John Russell " * spies was there , aad you also stated that you were not sorry that it wu so , bat hoped the spy would not misrepresent what ni aaid . I said to a gentleman in Monmouth that such Wat the effect of your speech that in a promiscuous meeting Beady eTery one signed th « petition . You recommended the people to * Toid drunkenness ..

him , and think of what was next to be do ? e . He said he would take them up Borne fine morning to see the Queen ' s Palace and the Bank of England . The Queen ' s Palace was a splendid building , and it was a pity any of them should die without seeing it A person disseated , and Yincent said " ShoTo one of your delicate firts down that ngly fellow ' s throat . " He said it was absurd to place women , children , and madmen on the throne ; and if a brwmstick was the offspring of royalty they would place tbat on the throne . Cross-examined—Mr . Geach adTised the people to be peaceable , and Mr . Vincent said that nothing could be farther from bis intention than they should break the hirn ^ and think of what ~ s next to be do ^ e . He sald
peace . John Roberts—I am superintendent of police at Pontypool . On the eTtiiing of the 1 st of January , I remember a meeting , first in the room at the King ' s Head . About five hundred persons were there . The defendant * were there . It was so crowded they spoke from the window . Carrier was there . He congratulated them on haTing elected Mr . Frost a delegate . He * aid "lams working man , and I am elected a member of Parliament to the ConTention in London . " He said Stephens was taken , and he asked , if Mr . Frost was put in the Tower , would they not go to tho Tower , pull it down , and release him . " Voices answered , "They would , they
would . " I heard Yincent tell the audience the greatest enemies they had were the shopkeepers , as they charged high prices , and retired into the country on their fortunes . He said that the Poor Law separated husband and wife , and parent and child , and that they knew it in their own union . Mr . Broagh said it ¦ vra 3 false ; and Yinoent said , Who is that ? I suppose some shopocrat Bring him to me , and I will talk to him . " I was at the meeting on the 5 th of ApriL Edwards spoke . I was at the meetisgs on the 2 oth and 24 th of April . At the first 1 , 000 or 1 , 200 were present ; at the second , 700 or 800 . I observed that the meetings appeared to produce alarm . Several persons applied to me to send for military assistance .
Cross-examined by Mr . Carringtoh— I was well known in PontjpooL 11 was after the last meeting that fear was expressed . Mr . George Essex—I live -with my ferot ' ner . who is a surgeon . . 1 was at the m < etkig at the King ' s Head on the 5 th of April . I hear . l Edwards speak . 1 mads notes the same evening . Edwards was speaking when I got there . He said —[ Mr . Essex read from his notes ] — " Like the children of Israel of old in Egypt , you , my friends , are oppressed , and the Israelites were at first worked hard , and were paid tent little ; and then their oppressors , finding they put up with that , they put heaTitr tasks up » n than , and paid them not at all . So it is in this country with yoar oppressors , the aristocracy . The Whigs and -Tories imposed t ^ sks upon you , which you bore . Finding that , they put heavier tasks , which you ought to r > sist , if you attend to the word of God , instead of Jack Russell and the devii ' a
agents . The population of Britain is 32 , 0 ou , 0 i > 0 . Now , how many contribute to the weulth of the country ? You will be surprised to hear only 8 , 000 , 000 , leaving 24 , 000 , 000 to be supported by the 8 , 000 , 000 ; so every poor boy , twelve yeai * old , who goes to work hard , and get his ten or twelve shillisgs a-week , has to provide for three of these lazy , oppressive , grinding down , monkey-faced aristocrats , before he is allowed to put one bit in his own mouth . Is not this oppression , and not to be borne ? Some of you will say , how is it done ? It would not do to send a tax-gatherer to take twelve shillings out of every pound they earn , so they put on an indirect taxation , as the excise , so that they tax what you eat and what -you wear , and every little enjoyment HaTe I not proved that you are oppressed ?
I am sure you will no longer submit to this . God km seen how you have been ground down , as he did the Israelites , aad has taken compassion , and has raised up for yon those who shall lead you forth like the children of Israel ; and I shall , I hope , give you no reason to grumble at me , as the children of Israel did with Moses , and if you do not obtain your rights , something more than their door-posts shall be marked with blood , my brothers and sisters , by the command of God . When the Israelites went forth from their oppressors they despoiled them , " sad he added in a very loud voice , the property of this country is yonrs , and belongs to you , and God calls on you to go forward and take it , and it has been with your oppressors long enough . God is with vou . What have you to fear ?
and as God is superior to the devil , and whopped him . you wiil be , with hia assistance , able to whop his agents , your enemies , the grinding down Whig and Turies ; " and he ( Mr . Edwards ) looked round * nd eaid —*• Now , Mr . Tory , dont quarrel with me for telling the people to go to take the property . Recollect it is the - word of God . " As to the soldiers , he said they would out with the aristocracy-oflicers , and promotion from the ranks would follow , and the soldiers , instead of hurting them , would tvery man plunge his sword into the earth ; and if promotion had been from the ranks some in the room would have been generals , and would be b-. tter thau tho inonkey-faced aristocracy . He said the Pt-or L >» W 3 were concerted by Brougham , one of the Poor Law Commissioners , and the deviL
And he detailed a supposed conversation between those three , which from a noise in the roem I could not hear . Mr . Edwards went on " As to arming , I recommend you to follow the ad-rice of the Horning Chrcmide seTeral years ago . They advised arming men , because it suited the purposes of the Whigs . A » regards myself , I shall be prepared . I shall be actlTe , and exert my body and soul in the canse indefatigably till the ( ith of May , when I shall sit down in my arm chair , and keep my eyes on the Parliament , on the Convention , and on the people , and then I shall be ready to do anything and eTerything to set the people free , even if it is with the sacrifice of my Ufa " In aliu&ion to Devises , he said if he had been " there , and had had a bludgeon with some lead in the end of it . he would have knocked out the brains of some of them ; and he added , " I have sworn to my wife—1 haTe sworn to my children— I have sworn to myself—I haTe sworn the limbs of my body to the
mental faculties of my soul , to t » free , or perish in the attempt" The speech produced considerable effect , and the people answered to several parts of it by saying " amen , " as they do in some chapels . On the 24 th i was at another meeting , when Yincent said he should meet the ConTention and joia their hearts to these of the men of the East , the North , the South , and the West , and make ouo chain , bo that they could act together , ami tLc fcima \* ould arrire when the Convention should * ay " now , " and the East , the North , and the men of Wales r ^ ispond to it , an 4 they woald then lay hold of the pillar of the constitution , and rock it and shake it till it tottered and fell , and the little gaudy bauble oa the top would fall with it if they did not get their rights . Vincent asked if they would act with tbe Convention as to ulterior measures ! and they said , ' We will—we will" Vincent sa ; d , " Some oi our friends wish us to stop where we are , but we must go on . "
Cross-examined by Mr . Carbikgtoh—I took no notes at the meeting on the 5 th of ApriL I wrote what I have to read about half an hour after the meeting . I began writing it between ten and eleven , and I finished between tvro and three o ' clock in the morning . I have reported speeches before , not as an engaged reporter , but as an amateur . Stephen Isgulden—I live at Newport , which is ten miles from PontypooL Mr . Edwards hired a car ef ma I think I eaw Mr . Vincent with him , it was on the 20 th of ApriL Patience Pitt—I was in the service of Mr . Frost I have seen Mr . Yincent at his house . He slept there once or twice . Mr . Samuel Baldwin Rogers—I am tbe agent of Messrs . B&iley , of Nantyglo . They employ between 2 , 000 and 3 , 600 men . Chartist meetings were held . Edwards and Yincent addressed the meetings . Yinvent asked the pe » ple to meet him at Tredegir .
Mr . Carringto * rose , on kehalf of Edwards , and contended that no case had been made out against his client . For some reason , he could not divine , the parties conducting the prosecution , had thought fit t « charge the prisoners ia the indictment , for a meeting on the 1 st of January . Now , he would ask the Jury if any evidence—any satisfactory evidence had been adduced in reference to that day . The Learned Counsel then entered into a very elaborate history of the franchise in this country . They had been told that the charge of conspiracy was one which would have to be inferred from the proceedings of the prisoners . But were there any proceedinp adduced in evidence , by which saeh an inference , could be drawn . He would call their attention to the fact , that at none of these
meetings Tiolence had ever occurred , not a single blow had been struck , no nor evon a pane of gJ « ss broken at tbe house of the most unpopular man in tbe neighbourhood . It is said an assembly is unlawful when it has a tendency to excite terror aad alarm ; but where , throughout all the long array of witnesses , is there one who says that at any meeting he was afraid . Bo we not know that great meetings were held at the time of the Reform Bill agitation , and great meetings are now also held in reference to the Corn Laws . And is not true that very strong language is used at those meeting * ? Yet , who ever heard of a prosecution in those eases ? Great allowance ought to be made for persons speaking suddenly and off-hand . And when the Jury consi dered a speech had to go through the brains of such
men ss had that day been put into the witness box , he thought they would be inclined to doubt the truth of the Tersion presented to them . It would be a matter of much cariosity to have any of those witnesses called in , and ask them to recount the Tery splendid speech made by the Learned Sergeant at the opening of this ease . Why , eren they ( counsellors ) who were in the act of taking notes , and bad much to exercise their memory , were totally unable to recollect , and very often misstated the eTidence of persons . And would they conTict men to imprisonment , perhaps a long term of imprisonment , upom the evidence of me * who relied upon their memory , or of an amateur reporter ,
who listened to a speech of an hour and a half ' s durationn , and then after the lapse of half an hour , sat down for four hours -writing oat in the first person what he had beard . Not , mind bint , giving a mere outline or summary of tbe speech , but pretending to write it oat as delivered ? He felt assured tbe Jury would not conTict a man ok such evidence as that One word in reference to the liability of a persoa who attended a meeting at which sedition might be spokes . He could not help thinking it hard justice that a man should be held as responsible for the expressions of another , where the possibility might bs , that h * dtssontnri from those expressions As to alarm , tad terror , the ooljsTidaMa brMfht ia

reference to that , was a few expressions tbat the military ought to be sent for . They ought not to consign a man to prison upon such eTidence asihaJk . He ¦ would not take np their time by using arguments so familiar in favour of the advantages of free *« ms « ion . The Learned Sergeant himself had stated ^ that he desired not their Terdict , unless the object of the prisoners were proved to be criminal ; nor did be call for a Terdict upon expressions which might fall incidentally from the speakers . He ( Mr . C . ) thsught they could not possibly consider the expressions of the defendants as any thiug else than the incidental words of the moment ; and with that opinion , ho left the case with full confidence ia their hands . reference to tha t , was ; a few <^ r ^^^
Mr . Vincent then rose and said—Mayit please your Lordships , and Gentlemen of the Jury , in Tenturing to undertake my own defence . I beg to state that I am not impelled by any Tain desires to render myself notorious . There are a variety of reasons which induce me to adopt this coarse , in preference to engaging any of the legal gentlemen I see aronnd ma And one principal reason was , and they -would admit it to be a cogent one , that he had not funds at his disposal , like those who had the getting up of this prosecution . He felt that great prejudice existed in the minds of most people , in reference to the Charter , and to those who advocated it ; and he was conscious , that although he might lack the talent and ability of , and was unable to raise legal quibbles , like those well acquainted with
the law , he was better able than , any one else to explain to them . the motives which influenced him , and the objects he had in view , by his advocacy of the principles which had that day brought him before them . They would be pleased to bear in mind that he had that day come from a gaol to undertake his defence , whero he was undergoing a term of imprisonment for attending a meetingand this he would call their particular attention to of a later date than tbe one he wacat present charged with . He could not help thinking that there was a little of political persecution in trying him again . He thought they might have waited until tbe expiration of the term of his present incarceration ; and he had to complain of the difficulties [ under which he laboured in
getting up a defence in prison ; not that he had any reason to find fault with tbe . magistrates of that neighbourhood , for they had certainly aflprded him every facility possible under * uch circumstances ; aad here he could not refrain from bearing testimony to the kindness and the assistance he had received from Mr Owen . He was charged with endeavouring to subvert the constitution ; and to substantiate fills charge , certain extracts were given in evidence from his speeches , and they very imperfectly , and only s ' aob . a » were feteulated to tend to his disadvantage * Mentjdn tad Won made of a distribution of property . He never helg opinions so absurd ; and such an idea was not entertained by the most enthusiastic advocate of the Charter in existence . 'Twas but a weak invention of the enemy .
to prejudice their cause . True , he had often made use of the term equal rights and equal laws j he was conscious they wu « terms in themselves not exactly intelligible , and he had always given bis definition ot those terms . They must be aware that public speakers were often carried away bytheexcitementorenthusiasm of the moment ; and the Learned Sergeant had told them that if they were of opinion such was the cause of the expressions used , he n ^ ked not for thefr verdict ; and ho hoped they would bear this in mind . He begged to tell the Learned Sergeant that he was a great admirer of his poetry ; but he had that day been a much greater admirer of his prose . Now , as respected the meeting at Pontypool . Let it be borne in mind , that he attended that meeting
by the special invitation of the inhabitants of that place . At that time he was not a member of any Convention , as had been stated ; indeed , how could he , seeing tho Convention , of which so much mention had been made , was not then in existence . At this meeting he commenced his remarks by expressing his * atisfactiou at seeing the people oi that district so much better off than were those of the neighbouring counties of Hereford , Gloucester , Somerset , and Dorset , aad the Northern Districts . The counsel for the prosecution had made it a charge against him , that he had come amongst a people in comparative affluence , for the purpose of exciting disaffection ; but he wonld ask , were they to have no sympathy for their distressed brethren ? Well . after btating his satisfaction at finding
the W euh so much better off than their poorer fellows , he had called their attention to the People's Charter ; and endeavoured to show , that by their establishment a remedy would be found to relieve their distresses . Was there anything illegal in this ? Was it a means unparalleled in political agitations ? H « would call their attention to the time of the Reform Bill agitation . Were not the people then led to supposa that , by carrying that measure , they wonld almest ba able to pick up gold in the streets ? But they were wofully deceived , for it had left tbe great mass of the people in just the same position they were before its establishment Not so the Charter ; it was alculated to make tbe people happier and wiser ; and to render the Reform Bill what it pretended to be . He would call their attention to the principles of the People ' s Charter , for he had no doubt that great misapprehension and prejudice still existed in regard to them . [ Mr . Yincent then entered into a clear and distinct definition of the
principles of the Charter ; which , although perhaps very requisite for those he was addressing . It will be unnecessary to present to our readers . ? " He admitted that Universal Suffrage was no % & _ good term ; but it was well known , or oaght to be , that the Charter Suffrage , the Suffrage as laid down in the document called the People ) Chatter , was the suffrage they contended for . Was t&re a man bold enough amongst them to say , that thai was an illegal proposition ? Would they Tensore-taP find him guilty of being wicked and malicious , for supporting that proposition , even though in his zeal , he might let a fow injudicious words drop ? Why , if they should , Charles James Fox , and many other great senators who had adorned this country , and whom most , if not all of them , held in great reverence—even they might be called wicked and malicious , for having admitted the truth of that poposition , and advocated it . Annual Parliaments were a matter of difference of
opinion . He believed them to be preferable to septennial . And would they hold him culpable for entertaining that opinion r As respected No Property Qualification , he would direct them to consider tbe fact , that a property qualification was not necessary for a Scotch Member . What there was in the climate of Scotland different from that of other parts of the Vnited Kingdom to call for the distinction , he tould not properly divine ; but he thought they would consider , under such circumstances , that that proposition was not an illegal one . Now there was the Payment of Members . No small quantity of abuse had been poured on the Charter advocates , in reference to this point . It was said exulting ' . y— " Ah ! now we see what theso speechifying fellows are at They want to be paid . " Bat let them
look at the matter , and they would find it had been once the law of this country . And the people he believed were something like the Ssotchmaa , who had a shrewd suspicion that it waa better to pay men for doing their work , than leave them to pay themselves . There was a man , whose name eTery true Englishman must revere , Andrew Marvell , who , history teaches us , was paid by his constituents for his parliamentary labours . The Ballot was a subject on which even the first men in the country were much divided . He admitted it waa one to which he had not paid very much attention , yet he considered , under all the circumstances , its establishment would be beneflciaL They would excuse the length at which he had addressed them in reference to the principles
embodied in the People ' s Charier ; but he had deemed it necessary in justice to himse ' . f , to let them know his real ol jectg , by apprising them fully of what it was he had been contending for . Now , they had it in evidence ; and let them recollect it was only elicited by him from the witness in cross-examination , which showed how these witnesses brought against him , withheld everything calculated to prove advantageous to him—they had it in eveidene * . that he had called upon the people at this very meeting at Pontypool to become sober and thinking men . And then called upon them to sign the National Petition . If he wanted to subvert the constitution bf violence , was it likely he would haTe exhorted tbe meeting in the manner the witness bad admitted ? And let them bear in
mind , the meeting was called for th « avowed purpose of petitioning the House of Commons , Yet why . was be pounced upon at this meeting , for wing indisoteet expressions ? Why , bid that m » et » gl > een « siled for the purpose of complimenting her Majesty's Ministers , they would not have seen him there that day ; ne matter what sedition he might have attered under such circumstances . [ Mr . Vincent then referred to Lord John ' s celebrated speech at the Liverpool dinner , and forcibly commented upon it , and Lord John ' s subsequent proceedings . ] They were told the Chartist leaders must be put down , for they are disturbing the peace of the country . It was strange they would not look to the true cause of the discontent now prevailing . It was not in the power of political agitators to make a
people—more especially English people—discontented , without some reason existing for discontent It would be absurd to tell the people thef were starring , if they had fall bellies ; or that they were naked if they were well clothed . [ He here read some extracts from different sources , on the right of tho people to meet and discuss theirgrievances . He continoedj—Tfcws of that kind had convinced him that such public meetings as the one now in question were perfectly legaL He admitted that at such meetings hs had said much that he eould wish unsaid . Thai b * woald not deny ; bat when they bore in mind the principal witness brought forward by the Crown , comfesisd he had counselled the people to be sober , honaet , Mad orderly , he thought they wonld admit , that at oo «» proved his
intention was anything but that me&ttoMA ia the indictment The people bad a right to question the proceedings , and to animadvert upon the eomduet of the Government He could aot help thinytng tin ministry had been a little thin-skinned in these fawecatioas , for they had always lagged the word Gkrwrnment into the indictments , wishing not to have il aspposed they it -was who were detested by tho multitude , but to lead to the supposition that they wished *> subvert the Constitution of the country . Hs weald now cite an authority to whom they would an bow with humility , aad it was no less an me than thai of the Learned Judge who that day adorned the-bench . [ Here the Baron , who had , threoghootthe address of Mr . Vineent bestowed the most profound attentka , Isaaad forward , STidentlj all anxiety to tew what was aboat to be

produced against him . ] Baron Gurney bad once said , that all power flowed from the people , and when that power -was abased , resistance became a virtue . It might be urged that he , as a working man ; had no business to . interfere with politics . He trusted that they would discard so base a principle . He had seen mueh distress in the country , which he attributed to bad Government ; that is to say , excessive taxation , Tp $ people had been taught by the noisy Reform Bill brawlers to expect that so soon as that Bill passed , they might look for a speedy redaction of the taxes : But what had the Whigs done in the shape of reduction ? Nothing—absolutely nothing : yet stop ; they bad , he learned , reduced the postage to a penny ; bat intended to make up the deficiency by putting
fresh taxes -upon salt , Soap , and candles , as a means of benefiting the poor , he supposed . Mr . Vincent here gave a very harrowing descriptios . of the misery he had witnessed in various parts of the country ; and drew a contrast by calling attention to the splendid equipages and palaces of the aristocracy . When he observed these things , he confessed he could not refrain from thinking there was something wrong in the State . He then read extracts to show what the ancient constitution was ; and begged to aBsure them , that so far from wishing to upset the constitution , his greatest endeavour had ever been , to bring that constitution to its original state , when peace and plenty reigned throughout the land . Allusion had been made in the evidence about his feavtag said the people -were Chartists .
Yet mark the inconsistency ! The witness then gave him credit for almost hi the same breath telling the people , that when the Chartists and the soldiers came into collision , they would place the women in the front . First tell them the soldiers were Chartists , and would not fight ; and then that when they did fight , tbe women must be placed in the front ranks . Good God ! he hoped they were not such consummate cowards as . that In conclusion , he begged to assure the Jury , that however much they might dissent from him in his politics and his principles , they must permit him to affirm , there was not a man hi existence who more ardtntly desired to see bis fellow-creatures rescued from a state of abject misery to comfort and content Mr . Vincent ' s speech lasted for two hours , during which time , the most breathless silence prevailed .
Mr . Baron Gurnet , in summing up the case , said that it had been truly stated by the Learned Sergeant , in his very able , very eloquent , and very temperate speech , that this was not a charge for attending any public meeting for the purpose of petitioning for the redress of any supposed grievance , but a charge that the defendants and others had conspired together to obtain a change of the Constitution ; by illegal means . It was conceded that banners , speeches , processions , and meetings occurred , on many occasions , very innocently , but tbe question was , whether other and bad purposes were not really intended here . The question was not whether there was any direct excitation to violence at the time of these meetings , but whether it was not intended that the people should be excited to
disaffection , and kept quiet for a time , till it was thought fit that they should proceed to violence on a given signal . It had been observed that very short extracts of the speeches had been given , and it was for the Jury to say whether those parts of the speeches were fairly taken , so as to show what was tbe true import of that part of the speech . If any witness were called to show that the words were mistaken , or that they were qualified by any other words that would explain them , it wonld have been most important , but no such evidence was adduced . With respect to the conspiracy , the Jury would consider whether or not they could infer it from the acts of the parties ; and thoy would have to say whether , from the evidence that had been given , they were satisfied that such an inference was fairly to be drawn .
The Special Jury , after about ten minutes' consultation , fonnd both ( he prisoners Guilty , but recommended them to mercy on account of the long imprisonment they had undergone . In passing sentence , the Judos complimented Mr . Vincent on the ability he had displayed in his address to the Jury ; but told Edwards the evidence against him wad of the most flagrant description . The term of the sentence he should pass upon them would commence from this date ; and although he had power to inflict a much heavier sentence , yet in consequence of tho recommendation of the Jury , he should only sentence Edwards to sixteen months imprisonment , and Vincent to twelve ; adding— "Ia effect , that will bo eight months to you , Vincent , and twelve te Edwards . " On being apprised that Edwards had only one month to serve , whilst Vincent had four , he altered the sentence of Edwards to fourteen month * .
We respectfully submit to his Lordship , that in effect he has sentenced Edwards to thirteen months . This was an error not intended by his Lordship , and we hope it will be rectified . The trial lasted from nine hi the morning till six hi the evening . William Shelland , after a lengthened trial , was sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment . Llewellyn was liberated on finding bail .

-Wednesday , April I . CHARGB OP WOUNDING WtTH INTENT TO MUBDRB .: William GUI , a well-dressed , respeqtable-looking man , aged 42 , was indicted for having , at Manchester , feloniously beaten , cut , and wounded his wife i Mary Ann Gill , with intent to murder her . The evidence in this case we gave a short time ago . The Jury found the prisoner guilty of wounding with intent to murder , recommending him strongly to mercy .
Tho prisoner waa asked what he had to say why judgment of Death should not be recorded against aim . . The prisoner entered into a long statement of the misery and hardship which ho had suffered during his absence from his wife , and gavo a detail of the events which he alleged had happened immediately before the commission of the act for which he was tried ; but as the address threw some severe reflections on his wife we forbear to publish it .
The Judgb said the merciful recommendation of the Jury had certainly saved the prisoner ' s life ; for if they had found the verdict which they had returned , and not coupled it with that recommendation , he should have felt it his duty to have passed that awful sentence which he never did pass without the most rooted intention of carrying ic into effect : he never trifled with that awful sentence . The life of the prisoner would be spared , upon what terms it was not for him to say . Sentence of Death was recorded against the prisoner .

THE MESSES . SOWLER . Immediately afterwards , Mr . Thomas Sowler and Mr . Robert bcarr Sowler came into Court , taking their station under the witness box . They were accompanied by their attorney , Mr . Henry Barker . The Learned Judge addressed them iu ' something like the following terms , —but , from the low tone of voice in which his Lordship spoke , and from his turning from that side of the Court where the reporters sit , it was with extreme difficulty that hia exact words could be caught : —Thomas Sowler and Robert Sowler , an application has been made to me on your behalf , for a mitigation of the sentence which I thought it right to pronounce upon you the other day ; and that application has been supported by the earnest solicitation of Mr . Garnett , who was your prosecutor upon that occasion . Representations have also been made to me , showing the contrition whioh you have felt for
too ooTeucs which yon committed against the laws of your country , and at the same time pointing out the evils which would result , not only to yourselves and families , but to other persons , if the sentence of imprisonment were parried into execution . I always rejoice in every opportunity , when the public duties of my office as a Judge will allow me to indulge in feelings which permit me to mitigate a seuteuce on men placed in circumstances such as yours ; and the solicitation of Mr . Garnett , coujoinod with tbe application made from other parties , affords me the opportunity of remitting the sentence of imprisonment . The sentence now is , that yon bo fined one shilling , and that yon then be discharged , ' upon entering into your recognizances , and finding sureties in the manner I before stated in the former sentence . Messrs . Sowler then left the Court .
