SIOTOCS DISTURBANCE IS JaCILSO . v ' s SOW . On Monday evening last , from seven to eight o'cioak , there was a disorderl y assemblage in Jackson's Kow , Dea&sgate , on occasion of the apprehension of a man who was fightiug in & beer-shop ; and , in the course of the disturbance created by the mob , the prisoner was rescued from the police , and several of the officers were knocked down , and some of them severely hurt by stones , brickbats , and other missiles . As there were some other circumstances connected with the matter , which were also the subject of investigation in the Borough Court , on Tuesday , we shall notice the facts as they were then
About seven o ' clock , or a little after that hour , a policeman was fetched oat of Deansgate , to a beershop called the Green Man , in Jackson ' s Row , the landlord of which charged a man with having assaulted him at the door . There was a crowd round the door , and much uproar within tbe house . The policeman , not having seen the assault , declined to apprehend the man ; but was immediately afterwards induced to enter the house , and proceed to an upper room , by Bereams and a great noise . He found two men fighting , and with assistance separated them , and then rtque ? ted them both to go with him to the police-office . This they refused to do ; and , as the parties in the 10 m agreed thai one of them , named Squire Holcruft , had been the aggressor , by striking the other , the policeman took him into
custody , and was conveying him down the street , when he refused to go , resisted , kicked the officer severely , and there was very speedily amob of several hundreds of disorderly people collected round . Two police officers came up to the assistance of the first ; but the . crowd rushed npon them with such force as to knock them and the prisoner down , and , in the eonfusaen , he go * up and ran off . Some soldiers of the 10 th Regiment of Infantry ( which regimen ; has been here about & fortnight ) then came to the assistance of the police ; one of them pursued Holcroft , and knocked him down . The soldier was then attacked by the mob ; he received a severe blow from a brick-bat which was hurled at him , and which struck him on the
shoulder ; and Holcroft , in turn , seized him , tore his jacket , pulled his shirt to pieces , and otherwise illtreated him ; and it was not till a considerable reinforcement of the police had arrived , thai ihe prisoner was ultimately aecHred , and Mbveyed to the Xock-np Tbese faett were stated by the police-officers and Ihe soldier ; and it was added , that the prisoner , who was a weaver , was a very quarrelsome , disorderly fellow , who had been twice in custody before for assaults , one of them of a very serious character ; that he was known to associate with bad characters ; and that the house in which he was fighting , when apprehended , was of snch a character that the landlord would be summoned for the disorderly conduct of the guests there . Mr . Maude said that the violent
condnet of the pri ? oner on this occasion had caused j both the police and the soldiers to be very ill-used ; the prisoner had been before the magistrates twice 1 before , once for-a very serious assault , and he must find bail , two sureties in £ 10 each , to keep the peace j for three months . In default of bail , he was com- i mitted . ; Mr . James Yates , commission agent , 58 , Fountainstreet , then appeared , having surrendered on bail ;' and two of the police , namea Biiigham and ilona- 1 gu 2 n , stated , thai , about twenty minutes after seven o clock they went to the assistance of the police in i Jacfc ^ on ' s Row and the neighbourhood , and found them surrounded by a dense crowd , and brick-bats Were hurled at them from all sides . The prisoner , i H&lcrcft
, was then lying on the ground , and resist- ) » g the officers with all his might . They conveyed ton to De&nsgate , whilst others of the police endea- i Toured to keep the crowd back ; and , whilst this was i going on , Mr . Yates drove up in his gig . The crowd , j ^ followi ng the gig , managed to pursue the police- i oncers , who had the prisoner ia custody , and to creak the kue of those formed across the street to resist them . llr . Yates was desired to stop hi 3 gig , ton ne refused ; and Chief-superintendent Sleign desired two of tne officers to go to the horse's head , ana hold the reins . Subsequent . y , when the prisoner iad been got away by the officers , Mr . Yates was told by Mr . Sleigh that he could proceed , and he then wanted to kaow why he was detained . Some words ensued , which ended in Mr . Sleigh ' s giving * lr . i ates into custody .
LEES . COSCFKT FOB THE BENEFIT OP THE VICTIMS . — The industrious cliss of Lees thoux&t it expedient to fet up a public concert for the benefit of the wiv * 3 and families of the imprisoned Chartists . It being our wakes , or annual holiday , we thought it a suitable time , and , for the above occasion , we solicited for _ a room ia a factory , now unoccupied , in Lees , and it was granted U 3 gratuitously by the owners . We also solicited vocalists and musicians and offered their services
they gratuitously , and for which we return to both our sincere and hearty thanks . The object we had in view being a benevolent one , we trusted to be patronised by a number of our friends and relations , and we are glad t © state that we had a pretty good muster , considering the opposition we had ; the money we collected , clear of all expenses on the bills , tickets , and sundry other things , is £ 2 10 s ., and which we hope will be forwarded to the unhappy widows and erphans , so to speak , of the aforementioned men .
EICHMOND , Staie of thb Cbofs . —The improvement in the Kaie of the crops of corn , beans , and turnipspin and &cout Richmond , under the influence of the general weather of the last three weeks , is most extraordinary .

HULL AND SELBY RAILWAY ACCIDENT THE ADJOURNED INQUEST . On Tuesday morning , at nine o'clock , the inquest on the bodies of the three unfortunate persons who w « re killed on the spot , was held by adjournment , at Loftsome Bndge Inn , kept by Thomas Allen . The intense excitement which prevailed on the Friday and Saturday did not appear to have abated much m the neighbourhood of the accident and at selby , the melancholy affair forming the chief topic or conversation . - A ? ? , i / ormer occasion , Mr . Phillips attended on behalf of the Railway Company . The Rev John Ion , of Barlby , and Thomas Clatk , Esq ., of Knedlington , two East Riding Magistrates , were ^ so ™ attendance during part of the investigation
. Wilham Lee , of York , joiner , deposed—I have * Sf . the dead body of the female ; her name is tiizabeth Lee ; she is a single woman . I saw her on night previous to her leaving York , which was on the Thursday evening ; she was quite well . I 1 ? , . \ rom ner lhit Ene w » s going by the train on the Friday morning ; she was 35 years of a * e . 1 was brother to the deceased . The Coro . seh here handed the witness 16 s . for his time and expenses , which he said was all he was authorised by the county to allow him John Butterfield deposed—I am foreman at the forwarding warehouse at the Leeds and Selby Railway office , in Leeds . 1 remember th « plate of iron being loaded at Leeds for Selby ; it was on Thursday , the 6 th instaut ; it was loaded on one of the waggons belonging to the Leeds and Selbv ComD&nv .
-I was not present when it was put on , but I saw *! ; afterwards , which was about seven o ' clock on Thursday night . I cannot positively say whether it was secured by either rope , chain , or any fastening . * " By Mr . Phillips—It is our regular custom to lash Euch things upou lhe waggons . 1 think that if it had not been lashed I should have observed it sooner than though it had been lashed . 1 have held the situation of foreman of the warehouse and the forwarding department between five and six years During that period I have frequently forwarded machinery by the trains . I did cot consider it unsafe to send them by the passenger train ; no accident hid ever resulted from guch a cause before
By Mr . Clark—My object in looking at it was to see whether it would chafe the edge of the cover , and to see that it was laid level upon the waggon . We had before sent castings from the same mould to Selby for the Hull Company . One was sent on the 23 rd of July , another on the 27 th of July , and a third on the 5 ih of August . No accident ever occurred from any of them that I heard of . The guard ( William Fawcett ) took charge of the train , which conveyed the casting in question , and was the same juj&rd as took the previous castings . By the Cobo . nek—The casting did not go by the paseenger tram , but by the luggage train , wnich left Leeds last Thursday , at midnight . I remember the casting on the 2 ird July was fastened : it was
lashed . 1 assisted in roping it myself . I cannot speak exactly as to the form it -was fastened in , but it was lashed two or three times across , as well as lengthways . Every waggon has a rope attached to it , for the purpose of lashing the luggage ; I cannot speak to the length of the ropes ; they are generally about two inches in circumference . We fasten the rope three times cross ways , and twice lengthways ; the casting would overhang the waggon about a foo : on each end , but would be six or s « ven inches within the sides . I think the width of the trucks , within their side ledges , are seven feet or more . The way-rails are 4 ft . 8 : u . wide within the rails , and I think the casting was about four inches wider ou each side .
By Mr . Clark—The casting being too long , and resting upon the ends of the waggon , would press the end 3 down , the middle of the waggon would rise , so thatt ^ ie side ledges of the waggon would be higher than the lovf er part of the casting . By the Coroner—The large casting with the small one were invoiced 3 tons 8 ctvt . By Mr . Clask—I observed that the casting sent on the 2 " th July had pressed the ends down , and rose the middle in the way above described . I think that castings _ of a similar weight and length would hare a similar effect upon all our luggige waggon ? , unless they were supported by a sleeper in the centre . I thii ; k that the edges of the waggon would be as likely to hold the casting as any lashing that might be put on . By Mr . Phillips—I have no doubt but that the
casting in question was lashed in the same manner as those that went before ; if it had not I should have observed it ; there was a piece of rope across the casting , but whether it was secured or not , I cannot positively say . By the Coroner—I don't know whether it is the particular duty of any person at the Leeds station to ascertain aud take care that all goods are secured . If anything had happened to the luggage , from being improperly packed or secured , I should be the party to be inquired after . From the situation 1 holdI
, should deem it my duty to give the best explanation I could . I should feel myself personally responsible for the packing of the good * . The goods are placed in the shed , and we generally have two meu employed in roping and coTering the goods ; this is done out of my si ^ ht . After it is done , I generally go round and see that all is safe . By Mr . Clark—The heavy goods that go by the passengers' train from the Leeds depot , are inspected by Jameo Peacock also , who i 3 foreman of tae yard .
Joseph Daws , of Salby , labourer , deposed—I am employed by the Leeds and Selby Company , as a loader of waggons . I observed a truck with an iron casting on it , arrive at Selby from Leeds , on the morning of Friday , the 7 th inst . ; it was about two o'clock . In abont half au hour after we removed the truck ; the casting was never removed from the truck that came from Leed 3 . We placed the truck on one of the spare Iine 3 out of o'ir way . I noticed that the casting was lashed acro > 3 ; it appeared to me to be safely lashed ; it was lathed in the usual way , three or four times across . By Mr . Cxabk—My attention was not particularly directed to this truck , but to our own lnjjgaee which we had to shift . '
By Mr . Phillips—If it had not been securely lashed , I don ' t know that it would have attracted J » y particular attention , as we had nothiag to do with it . We have had several castings from Leeds by the luggage trains , but I never { noticed any by the passengers' trains . It is not my duty to attend to the passenger trains . Such castings might have come by the passenger trains ami me not know of it . George Turner , of Selby , deposed—I supply the Hull and Selby Railway Company's engines with coke . I remember seeing the iron casting in question on the morning of Friday , the 7 lb , % little before eight o ' clock . I was ordered to firtch it out of the depot by Mr . Grubb ; we put the engine back
to it , and fastened the truck to the tender , according to the orders given by Richard Hesketb , the engineman . Mr . Gutteridge generally gives the orders for the attaching of the carriages , and the forwarding the goods to Hull ; no person gives any orders about the carriages but Mr . Gutteridge and Mr . Grubb . Mr . Grubb is a servant of the Leeds and Selby Company . I never receive any orders from any person but from the representatives of the Leed * and Selby Railway . I don ' t know how the casting was fattened . I did not stand by the carriages after they were attached , as I went to my work in the coke-ghed ; no person said anything in my hearing as to the fastening of the casting , or as to its beinc unsafe . Mr . Thomas Hogarth , commercial traveller , 37 , Lombard-street , London , deposed—I was at Selby

: last Friday morning . I had driven from Pontefraet that morning to go by the teun to Hull . I arrived at the itation » t Selby , fullt « n minutes Wore the train came up from Leeds . When I came oat of the station I was looking About , and gaw * large plate of iron , which I thought was a weighing machine . L thought ^ was unsafe , and would not go in the front carriage in consequence . I said to a man . I would not go in that carriage , as I did not like the look of that iron . I then went to the * uard , and asked him to let me into a carriage at the latter part of the train . I don ' t now whether I made any ob-Bervation as to the unsafe appearance of the plate of iron to the guard or uot ; I am not positive , but I think I did . I did not take notice of anything paricular before the accident happened , except just before I thought we were going at the rate of thirty miles an hour . I felt a great deal of rooking in the carnage just before ; 1 should think ten minutes before . There was no person in the carriage but » J jf * ^ d 8 ? ° > ° ming . I had driven from Pontefraet that moruimr to m * kv fh . ^; n ^ w ~ n I . ™ v . j
myself . I felt a jerk , which threw me forward . I got up and looked out of the window , and saw the guard down , and just in the act of getting up . I opened the door and jumped out immediately . I ran forward , and saw the first carriage turned over on the railroad , and laid partly on the rails ; I should suppose it had gone off the rails before it had overturned . The second carriage was laid between the delve and the bank side . The third carriage was turned quite up , in the delve ; we got some women from under it . Mr . Veltman , Mr . Stead , and Elizabeth Lee , were I think in a second class carriage , which was next but one to the plate of iron . I don't know the names of the women taken out of the ditch . The plate of iron had fallen off on the south side of the rails as we were going . I saw the plate of iron tied with a cord , but I considered it to be very unsafe indeed . He did not observe whether the cord was fridged or chafed .
tin answer to the Coroner , Mr . Phillips stated that he had had a conversation with Mr . Kittle , who was a passenger in the train at the time in question , and who had received considerable injury , but he could give no account of the accident . ] Mr . Wm . Gutteridge , chief clerk to the Leeds and Selby Railway Company , at the Selby station , deposed—Part of my duty is to arrange the carriages . In arranging the carriages , I consider it conducive to the safety of passengers , to place the waggons with goods next to the engine . That is an arrangement whieh I have been in the habit *> f adopting for the safety of the passengers . That arrangement arises from the apprehension of accidents occurring to the engines . We consider that if the engine was to come in contact with anything , or get off the rails , passengers would be more safe ; for if the heavy goods were placed behind the pasthe momentum
sengers , of there being suddenly stopped , would cause a concussion , which mi ght be of serious consequence to the passengers . I have known iron castings sent by the passengers' train of the Leeds and Selby Railway ; we have sent goods frequently with a small train of passengers ; I never knew an accident occur from such a cause , either on this or any other railway , before this . I saw the easting when it came up to the station , but I did not observe in the least that it was insecure . Had I observed it insecure , I should have thought it part of my duty to have ordered it to be made secure . We never used anything but ropes to fasten castings . I consider ropes a better fastening for iron goods than chains ; indeed , I don't know how we could fasten castings with chains , as we could not get them to take sufficient purchase . No person either mentioned or suggested the insecurity of the caning in question , on Friday morning . I have not since heard that its want of safety was talked about by any of
our men . By a Jurob—I did not observe whether the rope w » 8 sound or not . By the Cokoneb—The name of the engine that took the train from Selby to Hull that morning is the" Collingwood ; " it belongs to the Hull and Selby Railway Company ; the truck , on which the casting was laid , beloDgs to the Leeds and Selby Railway Company ; the first carriage that was attached to the truck , was a first class carriage , and belonged to the Leeds and Selby Company ; I believe there was no person in it . The next was a second clasjs carriage , which belongs to the York and North Midland Company , in which , I believe , there were no passengers . The York carriages
were placed before the Leeds train , but the first carriage had been left at the Selby station . John Gray , resides at Hull , and has been 12 years employed by the Manchester and Liverpool , and North Union Railway Companies . I am practically acquainted with the construction and working of railway engines ; I had the superintendence of that department ; and the construction and management of carriages in general . My attention has been directed as to the best mode of arranging carriages in trains . The Liverpool and Manchester is , perhaps , the greatest line in the kingdom for traffic , and having the greatest number of trains . When goods and passengers are taken by the same train , I consider the best way of placing them is to put
tvro-tturds or threevfourths of the goods in front of the passengers , and the remainder behind the passengtrs' ' . rains . I have known castings and machinery been placed without distinction , in the passengers' train . 1 haye not considered it unsafe or improper to place iron castings , or goods id ' genera ) , with the passengers' train , but the contrary : I think it adds to their safety . In nine cases out of ten , in railway accidents , coalition takes place in front , by the engine getting off the road , or some such accident . When six or seven carriages of merchandise are placed immediately behind the tender , it seldom happenB that more than that number are thrown off the rails . As to the goods carriages being placed behind , lighter
carnages are best for that purpose , as there is less momeutum in them ; and that is the reason why I would have the heaviest goods nearest the tend ' er . In fact , it is chiefly the momentum of the carriages behind which causes the overturning of the carriages in front . 1 never knew an accident arise before this , in consequence of heavy goods being placed in front of the train . More danger would be likely to arise , by the falling off of heavy goods in front , than from behind . I do not know of my own knowledge whether there is on the Manchester and Liverpool Railway , a person to superintend the loading of heavy goods , so as to protect the passengers from the •• arelessness or neglect of the labourers employed , I think that the present accident is a proof that
placing the merchandise waggons next the train , is conducive to the safety of the passengers . Five of the carriages in the present case were not thrown off the line . If there had been any merchandise waggon placed in front of the train in this case , none of the passengers carriages would have got off the line . Rockiug of carriages in the same train would have a tendency to displace it , and once displaced h would move itself further and further from its centre of gravity . If lashed properly with sufficient cord , two inches in circumference , the friction of the journey would not cut that cord , but in the present
instance the casting had a sharp knife edge , which would have cut any rope of the kind , in a journey of fifty miles . It is the duty of the person sending a casting by railway , to see that it is sufficiently packed —to see it safe to the end of its journey . Had I been employed by the Hull and Selby Company , at Selby , and supposing the machinery to have travelled twenty miles , I should have thought it necessary to hare piven a glance over the waggon , but not to have entered into that minute detail of examining and unpacking as though we had packed it in the first instance . I consider the Leeds and Selby road more shaky than the Hull and Seiby .
Wilham Greaves , the guard , was re-called , and deposed—The truck was placed next to the tender on the day of the accident ; it is the property of the Leeds and Selby Company ; the first after this was a first ciass carriage , belonging to the Leeds and Selby Company , and had no passengers in it ; the next was a second class carriage , belonging to the Hull Company ; the next were two third class earriages , the one belonging to the Hull and Selby , and the other to either York or Leeds , but which 1 cannot say as they are both paiutea dark green , and nearly ot one shape ; these contained some passengers . I do not know which of them was first . I do not know whether the passengers were in one or both of them ; the carriaeee being ooen at the end . thev could
easily get in and out . I do not know whether the female was in the first class or second class . Mr . Veltman and Mr . Stead were in a second class carriage from York , but the carriage belonged to the Hull and Selby Company . The engine belonged to the Hull and Selby Company . The whole of the evidence having been gone through , the Coronee commenced summing up , and went through the circumstances in a very minute manner ; when the Jury retired , and after about thirty-five minutes consideration , returned with a verdict of "Accidental Death . " Doodand of Five Hundred Pounds upon the engine and the whole of the carriages , being jointly the property of the Leeds and Selby , and Hull aud Selby , Railway Companies .
In reference to this deplorable occurrence , we have received the following : — TO THB EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB .. SlB ., —The late lamentable accident on the Hall and Selby Railway would seem to suggest that the policemen , or watchers , on the several lines , should be provided with some more efficient means of warning the engineer when they observe anything they may deem not right on the passing of a train . They ought to na-ve -with them some machine , capable of making a noiae Bnfficient to reach the ears of the Engineer at a considerable distance . A loud shrill whistle , or something of that kind , would seem to be the best for the purpose Should not the several Boards of Directors , direct their attention to the procuring of some such instrumtnt ? I hope , Sir , you will press this npon them .
There is another practice , too , which I think every Directory ought to especially forbid ; the collecting of Passengers' Tickets , by tke Guard , when the train is moving . Many accidents , and the loss of some lives , O&fl occurred in consequence of thia practice The week before the dreadful upset on the Hull and

He therefore applied to his Lordship that Mr . Doncaster should quit the box . After some argument , a trial was ordained , and Mr . Under Sheriff Leeson and Mr .

Mr . WiLDMAN opened the pleas , which charged the defendant with having , with force and arms , entered the dwelling-house of the plaintiff , and seized and carried ^ way his papers . To which the defendan t pleaded Not Guilty . Mr . Him ,, in addressing the Jury , would first of all explain the occurrence which had just taken place relative to the challenge . In Special Juries , the officer of the court bal otted for forty-eight names , and a test was forwarded to the solicitor of the plaintiff and the solicitor to the defendant , each of whom had the privilege of Btriking off twelve , so as to reduce the number to t nrenty-four . At the trial the first twelvejmt of this twenty-four that were called , formed thjRsjury to try , without right of challenge . Satae twenty years ago , ia a case in which his
mend , Mr . halgny , was on one Bide , and himself , under his leader , Lord Denman , on the other side , an objection was made to a special juror , that he did not Btand impartial . Lord Cnief Biron Richards , who tried the case , declared that he could not take the challenge , and the Court above sanctioned his opinion . But he was now happy to have the authority of Lord Chief Justice Tindal , aB well as the opinion of the Learned Judge upon the bench , that such challenge may be made ; and he hailed it as an event of the utmost importance to the perfect administration of JHStice . He then entered upon the case , and exhorted the Jnry to keep their minds free from reports that had reached their ears , aud implored them to form their decision upon the facts and merits of the case .
As this action was fully reported last Assizes , and no new evidence of * eny material character was brought forward , wo think it advisable to condense the trial without going into every minute partiaular . The plaintiff is aframo-work knitter , in humble circumstances , but of respectable character , at Sutton-in-Ashfield , and the defendant a mill-owner and magistrate of some notoriety in that place . It was endeavoured to be proved that the defendant had some years ago and bince uttered threatening and hostile language towards the plaintiff , who was believed to be a member of the Working Men's Association , and it was proved that he had attended their meetings as well as the meetings of the Chartists . His course of business led to a correspondent with Lawrence Pitkethly , afterwards delegate to the National Convention , and the letters of Pitkethly were taken to the meetings of the Association and there read . ( These letters were read in
, and were ol an extremely inflammatory nature . ) The day before the meeting of the National Convention , Pitkethly and Crabtree visited Sutton , and attended a meeting of ChartistB in the evening , accompanied by the plaintiff . It could uot be shewn , however , that the plaintiff had taken any active part in Chartist proceedings , and though numerous haudbills and : placards were brought in evidence to shew the general state of country , yet in no way could the plaintiff be connected with them . On the l' 2 th of August , 183 . 0 , ( one of the three sacred days ) meetings of the Chartists were held in Sutton-in-Ashfield , and Man ? field , and the two parties united at the latter place , but in no instance was Broyan shewn to be amongst them , or taking any part in the proceedings . Mr . Unwin and other magistrates , with a civil and military force , dispersed tho procession at Mansfield , and took several prisoners .
This was about five o ' clock in the afternoon , and afterwards with a troop of dragoons and a number of special constables , they proceeded to Sutton , surrounded Broyan ' s house , and under pretence of searching for arms , Mr . Unwin examined and seized the papers of the plaintiff , amongst which was a petition against Mr . Unwin , and a pair of silk stockings . These were carried away by force , against tHe remonstrances and protests of the plaintiff , and though , after repeated application , he recovered & <¦ me portion , the reBt were detained and produced in evidence against him on both trials . At the close of the last trial , they were returned to the plaintiff , and on application being made to the Court to reproduce them , Mr . Hill would not part with them separately , but tendered the whole . In this umbrage upon the plaintiff , as we have before observed , an action was brought at tho last Assizes , and the jury not being able to agreewere discharged , and the present act'on brought .
Mr . Stir ^ eant Adams rested his defence principally on the disturbed state of ihe country at the time , and an information said to be sworn ' on tho morning of the 12 th of August , by Ephraim Sills , that arms were " concealed in the . h > use of Broyan and four or five others . No arms whatever were found . The Learned Judge commenced his summing up by stating tho grounds upon which the action was brought . He then went through the evidence at length , remarking upon various parta of it . The defence set up by the defendant was , that at the time this occurrence took place , tho country was in an extremely distracted state , and that ho had good and sufficient reason given to him that the plaintiff was assisting the Chartists , and had arms concealed
on his premises . It appeared that warrants had been granted for tho searching of other houses on the morning of the same day , for concealed arms , but a warrant w \ s not granted for searchingBroyan ' s , although Mr . Unwin must have been aware at that time he was amoug the disaffected , if he really was so . It seemed he reserved that house for his own personal search , though for what reason was not made manifest . He went and searched every part of the house , but found no arms ; he , however , laid hands on some papers , which he perceived borethe signature of a person whom he considered seditious and rebellions , and them he took away . Thoso letters , however much seditious matter they might contain , could uot bj stated to be the feelings of the
plaint'ff ; if Pitkethly was useful in the way of trade to the plaintiff , because they exchanged goods , it was uot to bo ascribed that the plaintiff was a disorderly and seditious character , because he ( Pitkethly ) choae to write ' a parcel of balderdash in his letters . And so with respect to the handbill headed " Geueral Convention ; " haying that in his house could not be proved as a guilty act against a man ; he might have received it wrapped round any article , or it might have been left at his house without his knowledge or consent . It was at all events evident , that it was not much prized when it was used to wrap round stockings . Again , a man who was the most deadly enemy to Chartism might have such a document in his house out of curiosity , or a desire to possess it . With iespeet to the
placard read at the meeting on Nottingham Forest , fourteen miles distant from Sutton-iu-Ashfleld , and the state of the country in 1232 or 1837 , they had nothing whatever to do with the question . Tho poiut for consideration was whether or not tho defendant was justified in doing what he had done upon his own authority , and under the then existing circumstances . It had been said that the plaintiff attended meetings of riotous persons . Although that might bo the case , it could not be proved he took any part in them , orhadanythingtodo with disseminating seditious publications . The seizure of arms and the detention of papers were the two groat points in the case . With respect to the first , if Mr . Unwin conceived that his purpose would be better effected by
going himself he had a perfect right so to do . The question for the Jury would be whether he had well--rounded reason to suppose that arms were concealed in that house ; if he received information , then it was for him , as a magistrate , to weigh the subject well over , and decide on that course he deemed best . Every man had a right to have arm 8 in his house , if they were to be used legally ; most certainly it was not at all illegal to be possessed of arms , but power was given to Magistrates to take any arms that it was proved were intended to be used to subvert the Constitution of the country . The whole question with respect to arms then , was , whether the grounds on which Mr . Unwin went were sufficient to warrant him in the course he had taken . It was alleged
information on oath was given to him that arms were concealed , and that such information was entered down in a book . Why that book was not produced no reason was given ; they neglected to bring it when it Would have been a great proof on their side . With respect to the papers , the question was , whether a magistrate going to search for arms was justified in taking away with him any papers that he might find there , although the name of a suspected party might be attached ta them . He had very great doubt whether he wte justified in his search for arms , but little thatMje acted unwarrantably both in his manner of search , and his taking away what he did . He conceived that no man could justify himself in seizing papers , whatever he might do about arms .
The Jury retired to consider their verdict at nine o ' clock , and about half-past ten returned into court , where his Lordship had been sitting the whole of the time , and inquired , " Whether a magistrate , who was searching for arms , would be authorised to seize treasonable papers V Tke Learned Judge considered that he would not be authorised in seizing paperfl . , Another Juryman inquired whether , if the magistrate discovered treasonable papers , he waa to leave them behind ! : - The Judge considered that he had no right to take them away . In a few minutes afterwards the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages , one farthing .

RIOTS AT COLNE . ( From the Whig Manchester Guardian . J We are exceedingly sorry to learn , that serious disturbances occurred , during the last week , at Colne , arising principally out of the opposition of the lower orders to the constabulary police . This feeling broke out with such violence in April last , as to make it necessary to increase that force for a time , from the number of about ten or twelve , to some fifty , supported for several days by a military force . This aad the effect of suppressing for awhile the lawless proceedings of the populace , and it was hoped that the police were steadily gaining ground in the estimation even of those who had been
violently opposed to them ; but it appears that , about three weeks since , this opposition was revived with increased violence , and was shewn more openly and boldly from day to day , till at last the rabble proceeded , at nights , to the breaking of windows , and making some murderous attacks tipon the officers , by large volleys of stones , in some cafes from tha house-tops . The first party attacked was Mr . Boltori , a solicitor , of Colne , whose public conduct , on several points , had rendered him especially obnoxious to the rabble . His offioial and private efforts against the Chartists , hin advocacy of the Now Poor Law , and his efforts in the establishment of the New Police , were sufficient to mark him out as the first object of ihejr . ' vengeance ; and accordingly , on Tuesday evening , " they began witn demolishing about fourteen of his wiHttows , and making a dreadful attack with
stones upon the police , many of whom were severely hurt . Partial disturbances again took place on Wednesday evening ; and on Thursday night , about ten o ' clock , the town was entered by a mob of 200 men , under the command of a leader , armed with pistols , pikes , bludgeons , and stones , who for half an hour had complete and uncontrolled possession of the main street , where they broke about 200 windows , and committed some very severe personal injuries . Commands to fire and re-oharge were distinctly heard , and have been deposed to . A military force was sent for to the barracks at Burnley ; but the rabble had made their attack so rapidly , and dispersed so ingtantly after it , that , when the military arrived , the town waB perfectly quiet .
Next day , a . public meeting was advertised , to concert measures for the protection of life and property ; but , when the hour of meeting arrived , the Chartists and the rabble had taken possession of the room , and the magistrates and respectable inhabitants were obliged to assemble at the King'a Head Inn , where , among other measures for preventing a repetition of the scenes of the preceding night , it was resolved that a deputation , with one of the magistrates , should proceed to Burnley for military assistance . Detachments of cavalry and infantry were instantly despatched ; and , by their presence in the town till Sunday morning , secured the peace of the place , and for the present all is again quiet .

FURTHER RIOTS . —A CONSTABLE MURDERBD . Since the above was in type , we have received some further accounts from Colne , from which we learn , that , on Monday night , there was a repetition of the lawless scenes which had previously disgraced the town , and that they ended in the murder of Mr . Joseph Halstead , a gentleman who had been just before sworn in , and was acting as a special constable . The statements which have reached us in reference to this matter , are not very explicit ; but so far as we can learn from them , the following are the leading facts of the case : —At an early hour on Monday evening , it became known to the police and the magistrates , that the desperadoes who had commiijted the outrages on Thursday intended to renew thtfn on that night , and that assemblages were
collecting for that purpose a short distance from the town , on the road towards Keighley . In consequence of this discovery , the magistrates issued summonses to a number of the respectable inhabitants of the town , calling upon them to attend at the King's Head Inn , and be sworn in as special constables for the preservation of the peace . About seventy were , accordingly , sworn in \ and , with the magistrates and the police ( who , we believe , had been reinforced subsequently to Thursday night , and amounted to some thirty or forty men ) , went into * b * f (| tteet 8 for the purpose of dispersing the assemblages of people which they ' might find there . ' ' They paraded several of the Btreets without meeting with
any serious opposition . At length , between ten and eleven o ' clock , it was announced that a large body of people were entering the town from the Keiehley road , and the magigtrates , with the police and constables , moved in that direction to meet them . As soon as they came in sight of the mob , the latter halted for a moment and fired two pistols , whether loaded with ball , or , if so , whether directed at the constables , could not be ascertained ; but , at all events , no damage was done by the shots . When these pistols were discharged , the mob set up a shout as if about to charge the constables ; but , finding that the latter were advancing upon them , they gave way , and turned down St . John-street ( which runs
towards the south end of the town , and is at right angles with the main street ) , intending , no doubt , to pass on the right of the constables , and get into their rear . The constables , however , guessing their object , turned down Parliament-street , which runs parallel with St . John ' s-street ; and , on arriving at a cross road which form a communication between , the two , they encountered the mob , who immediately attacked them , and a sharp conflict ensued , the result of which was , that the mob were routed and driven off the ground , leaving two or three prisoners in the hands of the police . After they were gone , the police and constables patrolled the Btreets ; and , at a short distance from the spot where the the principal encounter had taken place , they found one of the special constables , Mr . Joseph Halstead , a respectablo manufacturer of Colne , lying on the
ground with his skull most dreadfully fractured , having apparently been struck a terrific blow with an iron bar , or some other weapon of thesamo kind , by which the fore part of his skull had been completely beaten in , aud his face so frightfully diafigiired , that it waa with great difficulty that he waa recognized . He was alive when discovered , but perfectly insensible , and breathed hi 8 last in a few minutes afterwards . Another constable , too , Mr . Templeman , manager of the Colne Branch of the Craven Bank , was found to have received a ( lespcrato cut A * ,, the back of the head , apparently inflicted by a sword , or some other cutting instrument . A sergeant of the police also received a severe stab in the shoulder during tho affray ; but it is hoped that neither he nor Mr . Templeman is in any serious danger .
We have beeu informed that the circumstances under which Mr . Halstead and Mr . Templeman received their wounds were the following : —They , with three or four other constables , had gone towards the south-side of the town , and , without knowing what was going on , turned up one of the streets leading towards the place where the conflict was going on between the constable and the mob . When the latter gave way they encountered these gentlemen , whom they had attacked on all sides with the results which we have already mentioned .
As soon as the shocking murder of Mr . Halstead was made known to the magistrates , they set on foot the most active inquiries for the purpose of deteoting and apprehending the murderers ; and , some information having been procured , warrants were immediately issued , and several individuals were apprehended during the night ; one of them , a well-known Chartist , was taken in the act of trying to conceal a musket by thrusting it through a skylight upon the roof of his house ; and on examining him , his shirt was found marked with recent splashes of blood .
As soon as the disturbances commenced , a messenger was despatched to Burnley lor the military , and a troop of dragoons were called out and galloped off to Colne immediately . They were , however , as before , too late to be of any service , and we believe they shortly afterwards returned . When the last accounts left Colne the town was quiet , and the most active inquiries were making , with the ^ view of detecting and bringing to justice the parties who had been concerned in the riots .
