The Martyrs. ** "What, Though Your Cause...
THE MARTYRS . ** "What , though your cause be baffled , freemen cast In dungeons , dragg'd to death , or forced to flee ! Hope is not witherM in A'Sietion ' s Matt ; The patriot ' s blood " a the iced of Freedom's tree . " "We gave in our last an account of a deeply interesting event , the exhumation of tho bodies of the martyrs Baird and Hausy , and their subsequent ; consignment to holy and consecrdkd ground—rendered holy by being made the last resting place of--nartyrs' relics ; and consecrated , not by the
mummeries of any drivelling priest , but by the tears , the prayers , and solemn hopes of thousaisds -and tens of thousands who , in body , or in spirit , have trodden or will tread that ground , to ul ' er the henetiis'i ' n of PeAoe over the remains , of despotism's isnriererfvictims . and to s-jrearbeforcliigh Heaven , that their deaths ^ hall be avenged - * by that best vengeance , the triumph of tjie principles for which those martyrs lived , and for which they died .
This year-has witnessed some " remarkable events , sufficiently -judicative of'the onward march of Democracy . Fifty years ago , the " Scottish ^ Martyrs , " Mum , Paemer , Gsreald , S KiRviNS ,-and Margarot , -were , after a sort nf drum-head Courtrnattj ' , it would be blasphemy againstjjustice to call it a " triel ; " doomed to bani .-thmcnt-aad death . We say , and & afn , for nc-4 one of these gifted and noble men ever returned ta their fatherland . Their " crime" was - CHiitTISM . They -had , like the
founder of" Christianity , gone about teaching— " As you would that men should do unto'vou / do ye even so to them . " -They were condemned by venal juries , and sentenced by judges who , prior to coming into court , and before their victims had been arraigned , had raade up their minds as to the punishment they would inflict . That punishment was ruthlessly carried out , and , so far as the extinction of the lives offje-above-named patriots was concerned , was . Eminently successful , with -this advantage to their
assassins" ? hey died so slowly none dared call it murder . ' " \ YeH , the "Church and King" men shouted for very joy . They had put down "French principles . " Vain mockers of the future ! This year has Witnessed the erection of the monument at Edinburgh in honour cf these very men consigned to death , and—as their enemies vainly intended—infamy ! Behold hew eternal justice always , in the end , asserts her own omnipotence . The " criminals" are now regarded as Martyrs , whilst " the curses of hate , and the hisses of scorn'" mildew the memories of those infamous wretches , who once desecrated the judgment seat , and who , with all the arroganceof would-be gods , dealt out the decisions of devils .
Twenty-seven years ago , Baird and Hardy were consigned to the executioner ' s red-reeking hand , because they , tod had struggled lor JUSTICE TO ALL . The headman ' s axe hewed their fair flesh , and made of " God ' s own image , " bloody and disfigured wrecks of humanity . Again the hellhounds cf " Church and King" lapped blood , and " bav'd the moon" with their exulting bowlings All in vain ! " Radical principles" assume another name , and a more defined form , and in 1847 . Scottish Chartists build up the monument of the Radical martyrs , ar . d even the government of the aristocracy makes tacit acknowled gement of the injustice of the past deeds of their class , by permitting
the exhumation of the bodies of those they now term , not "traitors , " but '' unfortunate men I" Glory to the men of Glasgow ! Glory to the men of Scotland , and to all who in any shape have contributed to this act of popular lionisee to the memories of the " unfortunate , " but noble patriots of 1819-20 . One word to cur Scottish friends : We would fain see a similar act of justice done to the memory of poor old Wilsox , whose grey hairs were dabbled in hU own gore . Such an act would reflect much more honour upon Scotland than all the absurdities which " loyal" knaves and skves are at present in the act of committing to the gross outrage of common sense , and iu illustration of their own hypocrisy or iiliotcv .
" It is a good cause , " said Muis , on hearing his sentence , " It is a good cause , it shall yet prevail , it sJialljinally triumph . " And behold the beginning of the end , the commencement of the consummation of the martyr ' s prediction . . O'Coxuor , the Champion of Chartism , is triumphantly elected to represent in the House of Commons , the very principles for which Muir and Margaeot were exiled , and Baird and Hardy murdered . Xor is this all ; who can doubt , who will dare question , that at the recent election , the foundation cf future triumphs was laid , which insures the return , at the next election , of a host of patriots who
will battle by the side of O'Connor for the triumph of Democracy . If the Victims of Put and Castxereage could witness the progress of the principles for which they suffered , they would regard that progress as the noblest monument that could be designed to do homage to their virtues and perpetuate the memory of their martyrdom . Speed the clay when that homage shall bs rendered perfect , by the completion of liberty ' s temple , in which all shall enjoy Freedom's blessings , and sing songs of triumph to the : glory of those s » ho suffered and perished- that their children might be free .
We now a « k tbe attention of our readers to the following heart-theilHng narrative Eclract from ihe J & uramberg Gazelle of August the 8 th , I 647 . —( Translation . ) Lr . K-r . KG , Augusth'tfc . —By a decree cf the Supreme Criminal Court , confirmed on July the Istby the Emperor of Austria , two Pols * , Theoiihilus ' vTitzuiewokianfl Joseph Kjpufcicsii , were publicly hanged this day at 7 o ' clock , a . m . On the ZStb of July tbedecre * of death had been read t ) the coiidsnined , in prase-ace of a numerous audit-nee , crowded on the graund facing tbe crhnfaat . tribunal . By a proclamation iseued after the execution , it was made Known that Thcophilus TTnzniewslti had been condemned for high treason , cud Joseph Kapuscinski for tho same , and for 'murder , ' committed upon the persoa of
Kerkel , the Burgomaster of the borough of Pilzuo . The ccece occasioned by the promulgation of the decree on the 2 Bth fcf July , and the display of publiesympathy exhibited by the waving of hats , handkerchiefs , by flowers thrown ou the delinquents , and even by universal shouts and greetings , was but a feeble and inadequate prologue to the grand drama which opened to day at 6 o ' clock in the morning , and of which we feel obliged to give a detailed account ; not only for the proof it affords of tho high degree of excite meat which tbe human ha : <* t can be wrought up to , but because it shows also how inadequate capital punishments are toproducethoeffeets intended by those who apply them , aud especially because it gives an insight of the spirit pervading , at the present moment , the popuJatioa sf temberf , t & tery hem ofGalkls . " ^'
The Martyrs. ** "What, Though Your Cause...
At the stroke of 6 o ' clock , guarded byastrung military escort , and between trto rows . of infantry , the csriwnti-ining the two * culprits . 'left 'tha criminal ' prison , and moved towards the place of execution . Since the previous day , not a single flower could have been procured , eren for the highest price . All the windows and balconies of the streets through which the preetssion was to pasf , were thronged with speculators of both sexes , all in the deepest mourning ; but no sooner did the government authorities perceive such a display of public sympathy towards the convicts , than they directed the procetsibn to bo conducted another road , over the ramparts , through bv-streets , aud near the Poet Office . Thus far they
suoc eded in depriving this popular manifestation of » 8 most imposing feature ; but when the car reached the place of execution , tlurc was found a compact and innumerable mass of people . Not one inhabitant of the town but had pressed himself into the crowd to contemplate once more the faces of the victims ; not one who did cocconsider them ta be , not convicts , but xarttks , to the came of Poland . Nothing could frighten the masses away , neither the danger of offending the government , nor the uplifted swords , or the lowered bayonets of the soldiery , nor even the threats and sticks of the police Every one had with him or her , wreaths or bouquets
flowers , bedewed with tears , which wtrettrown at * int condemned . The strongest marks of sympathy v , ere shown lo tireophiius Wierniewski , he being an age' at of the emigrants . This man , of a handsome and noble physiognomy , preserved a calm and intrepid tippe grnnce at tho-Kadiui ; of the sentence on the ! i 8 ih , as we j as on tho MKSSbla , and thereby captivated , to the uv . ' iost degree , the hearts of the public . Although of a 1 ^ ss Imposing-countenance , Kapuscinski displayed equ t \ energy . Bcftli met death with the greatest courage at lQ resigna tioa . Kapuscinski shouted- 'GOD BLESS POLAND !' and Wiszuiewski said to tho people— 'LE ' f NOT OUil FATE APPAL YOU ; BUT LET IT SEItTE ^ YOU AS AN ¦
ItXAMPLB HOW TO DIE FOR © "CRPA UHElUiANl ) l ' Aud when the ropes were passed round tl jeir necks , both shouted still— 'LONG LIFE TO S * 0 LA >" i"D j > The uoise of drums drowned the remainder of tiie speeches , they addressed to the very last to tiie peoplti ,- who , in spite ol soldiers and government officer ? , did wot for ' a moment pause in their loud cries of - 'LONG LITE TO POLAND !' Wei earn from the decree of the High Court of Justice , that Theophilue Wiszniewski was 40 years of age ; was born ut T « wlowVevs , hvGallicia - . had been educated at the School of BucaaoB , andiniS 29 hadeBterediheUmvursity of Luinberg . In 1881 be . j ttintd the Polish insurgents of 'tho ¦ k ingdom , " ' and during the following years worked incessantly -with the -secret societies ; which , since then , haw been organised over the whole of the ancient provinces of-iPelatid ; Accused in 4825 of high treason , he
w » s Imprisoned , but was in 1836 released for want oi proofs . In 18 a 8 an order was issued for his arrest for the same . crime , but having received a timely warning , be fled from the country , and in the beginning of 18 SU reached Strasbourg , where he entered the Polish Democratic Seciety . A year lattr , he was elected a member of its Central Committee , where he remained as its secretary till WW , and laboured unceasingly , with his colleagues ^ at kindling in Poland revolutionary plots against her lawful sovereigns . In 1844 he rcturued unar various assumed nathee to Poland , in order to tow there , as an emissary of the Democratic Society , theseeds of rebellion . During the last armed insurrection , he headed a band of rebels who fell upon a detachment of tbe regiment of hussars , known under' the name of the King of Wirteraberg ' s Own . ' He was married , and the tathir ot four children . His wife has become insane iu consequence of
her husband ' s misfortunes . Kapuscinski was 29 years old . He also was since 16 S 5 actively employed in propagating democratic principles , and held a continual intercourse with revoiuiioRarj etaisstriej . During the insurrection , he was the first iu the circle of Tarnow to rise against the legitimate authoriiics . lie killed the Burgomaster at Filzou . lie was arrested at Lysa Gura , together with the other rebels , YYhtocki , u Catholic priest , was also a member of the . Democratic Society .. lie was the man who . during the revolt of Cracow , collected in the circle of San ' . eich about 2 , 000 moutitaiutere , in order to assist the- rebels of the Cracovian territory .

We suppose no apology is necessary for reprinting the above lengthy extract in this part of our paper . Such a story of heroic martyrdom demands the most prominent place our columns can afford . We believe that the brave , the noble , the god-like priest , Vvislocki , has not yet been executed . If his life is altogether spared he will be more worthy oi the pity of mankind than his martyred brethren , for who—that might choose—would hesitate between the Austrian gallows and the Austrian " dungeon ? " Delinquents , " " convicts , " and " rebels , " arc the epithets applied by the soulless slave of the Nuremberg Gazette to "Wiszxii : wski and Kapuscinski , " whose names shall he" with KouAKSKi and Poland ' s ten thousand other martyrs
" A watchword , till the future shall be free . " Tea Thousindmdxtyts have we said ? Why the whole nation is a martyr-nation . The Poles are f // e GYec-A-s of modem days . Alas ' . ' that we should have to add , that heroism , not inferior to that which made the field of Marathon immortal , the shores of Salamis eternal , and Thermopylae " A name of fear , "Which tyranny still quakes to hear , " should hitherto have borne only the " gloomy verdure and the bitter fruit" of failure , agonv , and
death . The heroism of the Greeks challenges our admiration , and so does that of the Poles , but wc are compelled to conjoin therewith sorrow and wonder . Sorrow , that such deeds of daring as Poland ' s sons emulate each other in the performance of , should hitherto have been in vain ; and wonder , that in defiance of misfortune , suflering , and death , still onward press the sacred band of survivors , eager as their fallen predecessors to " do or die " —to plant the banner of the "White Eagle once more in Poland , or perishing in the attempt , give their life ' s-blood a sacrifice on the altar of their
country .-" Though foul are the drops tfcnt oft distil Ou the field of slaughter , blood lifce litis For libtrty shed so holy is , It would not stain the purest rill That sparkles in the bowers of bliss , Oh ! if there be on this earthly sphere A . sight , an offering heaven holds deur , 'Tis the ' last libation Iabsrty draws From the heart that bleedi and breaks in hor cause 1 "
The account of the extraordinary demonstration at Lembcrg , on the occasion of the execution of Wiszniewski and Kapuscinski , will be read with amazement by those—if there be any such—who believed for a moment the lies of Mettekxich and his infamous creatures . On the occasion of the massacre in Galicia , it was shamelessly asserted by the accursed Austrian , that that massacre was the spontaneous work of the Polish peasantry , who , loving the Austrian Government , destroyed the Polish revolutionary nobles , that they might continue to enjoy the blessings of the blessed Fkrmxaxd ' s paternal rule . At the moment of the promulgation of these calumnies we hastened to undeceive the
people of this country , and showed , by incontrovertible facts and arguments , the falsehood of Metteiinich ' s statements . We showed that the Galician massacre was the work of Austrian troops disguised as peasants ; felons taken out of the gaols ,. whose leader , the notorious Szela , had been a house . burner , a child-violator , and a murderer ; and lastly , by wretches whom oppression had brutalisca—a class existing iu all countries-who , with the other two sections of this army of assassins , undertook to murder the friends of freedom for a certain quantity of brandy , and a stipulated price for each head ! In a list of victims printed in this journal , we gave tha particulars of the tortures to which several oi the victims were subjected ; we repeat a few :-

The journals have very often mentioned tl , ! , * honest man as the benc-fiioror of his country-people . KSiPTixsK * ( Mr *) . —Born Coootess Dembickx .

. twin * were torn out of the corpse . They did this to get the 'Austrian price'for more than on « head . Ther Englishmen ! read the bloody record | again , and yet again , until yon feel something of ¦ manhood ' s fire glowing in your veins , and exciting ' your hatred , not more against the murderous , des-! potism of Auslria , than against the treacherous Government of your own country , which not ouly ' baselv allowed these horrors to be perpetrated
without one sign of condemnation , but continued , and still continues , to embrace this infernal Austrian tyranny ,, as . the ally of England ! . When , at . the Tiverton election , Julian Harney demanded to know why that alliance was not dissolved , and the English Ambassador ordered home from Vienna , Lord Palmerston sneeringly asked , what good that would have done ? . What good ! Is there no good in honest men . washing . their hands of all connection or participation with tyrants , faith-breakers , and blood- reeking assassins ? In the name of the people of England , we denounce the continuance , even lor one hour longer , of the alliance of this country ' s ffot-ernwent -with .-the ; lionise of Hapsburgj : a house sentenced to fast-coming perdition for its manifold crirees .
In- the very heart of that Galicia , in which we were told that popular opinion . was universally opposed to the Polish revolutionists—in Lemberg we see the entire population , in defiance of threats and blows , lowered bayonets , and uplifted sabres , going forth as to a triumph ,-with flowers and garla nds , to pay their homage to their glorious countrymen on the brink of the grave , and within the shade of the shadows of death . " GOD BLESS POLAND ! " "LONG LIFE TO POLAND !" are the last words of the expiring martyrs ; and ah ove the roll of drums ant ! the threats of tyranny's myrmidons , rise the people ' s choking sighs , heartb reirthed prayers , and tocsin-sounding shouts of '
" LONG LIFlS TO POLAND !" . The cause of Poland can never be despaired of whilst that country , continues to Wing tattt ' swcAi sons and daughters as Lemberg boasts . Byron said " When Grecian mothers shall give birth to men , " then will Greece be free . Who then can doubt of Poland , whose daughters' are endued with more than Spartan virtue , and their sons are worthy of such mothers ? It were treason to humanity to doubt the glorious issue of the strusrgle .
If the signs of the timos do not greatly mislead us , Em-ope is on the eve of that" war of principles , " in which the death struggle will take place between Democracy and Despotism . Revolution looms over France ; and in Italy , Switzerland and Spain , the dogs of war are held in leash but for a moment , and then — - ! To those subjects we have not space to do justice this week , but wo cannot conclude with , out a parting benediction on Mf . tieusicii . That incarnation of wickedness is drawing near to his , end , but we do not despair that he will yet suffer the torturc of seeing all his schemes frustrated , and the horrible system ha has erected utterly swept away . We confess wo shall be somewhat disappointed if he docs not ultimately imitate
" Onrotid-artery-cutting Castlereagh , " of whom it may . be truly , said that " npthiHg in his life became'him go much as his manner of leaving it . " Be that as it may , if there be justice in Heaven , or truth in Revelation , the ' , hottest hole in Tartarus will be ( only too good for ) his final reward .
The Law In Lincolnshire. We Have Alrcatl...
THE LAW IN LINCOLNSHIRE . We have alrcatly alluded to the unfortunate circumstances connected with the death of D „ Dso ! f 4 the Secretary of the Sleaford I-ranch of the Land Company . In another part of our paper will be found a full and accurate report ofthe trial—of tho extraordinary conduct of the Magistrates and their Clerkand the termination of the proceedings by the protest
of the most respected member of the Magisterial Bench , and one of its seniors as well , against the illegal decision of the other ? . The law , which ought to have guided that decision , will be found clearly laid down by the counsel employed ; therefore , we need not expatiate on tho subject . The only excuse the ' Ma » Htralsec « tn offer , is an utter ignorance of the laws of their country , which ought , of course , to incapacitate them from holding the important office , the privileges of which they enjoy .
Our business in the present instance is , howevf r , to prevent the dastardly falsehoods uttered by a hireling of ihe Press , from prejudicing the minds of the » ' good folks" of Lincolnshire . The Boston , Stamford , and Lincolnshire Herald , has presented a column of mingled romance and invective to its subscribers , since the hireling tool of an expiring faction dared not write sEainst its own " circulation . " Howeverthis paltry limb of the press . thought proper to make a harvest out ot death , and to placard the district with hills , fit * ting that it would contain a detailed account of the proceedings , and urging on ihe public when and where tho "copies" must be ordered .
The Herald "" cts out with telling us that it entertains a due regard for tlis life of " even the humblest man . " How generous of the Ifcrahl—l Evrs ofthe " humblest "—as though the life of the poorest man were not of equal value with that of the richest ; snd as though humility should be concomitant with honest poverty . But , in order to evince its leaning towards the " humble . " it has recourse to falsehood , aad misrepresents their case . It actually states that the deceased was "in the act of stooping , to pick tipastone , when struck , " a circumstance never hinted at in the remotest degree , by the counself or Sharpe . or any one
of tho witnesses he called ! It further adds , that" not one of tho witnesses , either before the coroner or the magistrates , ventures to express his belief that tho blow was given with a malicious intention "—whereas almost every witness who saw the blow , deposed that it was aimed at the head ; one ofthe medical gentlemen examined , swore to it , that it must have been aimed at the head , and the other that it was a blow direct for tho head ! Besides which , eleven witnesses swore they heard Sharpe make use of vindictive and triumphant expressions . The editor further
expatiates on the verdict of the coroner ' s jurywhich it calls tho " noblest institution forthe protertion of tho poor as of tho rich "—an institution , however , which was not intended to embrace men of 75 . Yet , thinks the sapient writer , the matter ought to have been allowed to rest after this ! Surely notif conducted as before the magistrates—where their clerks wrote down wrong depositions , themselves objected to the insertion o important evidence , and exhibited an atuoun of levity and party-feeling , alike unbecoming the magisterial character , and ' tho painful nature of the case under considers
tion , Feeling tbe weakness of hig position , so ranch that he is obliged to pervert truth , and invent evidencethe writer of thu article next proceeds to attaek men of whoa he evidently knows nothings " a pack of Chartist bloodhounds , whose boast it ia to resist nil author !* , aud to embrace allopportunUies toinfUme tbe popular » ia < I , and cscit popular : indignation .
The Law In Lincolnshire. We Have Alrcatl...
Weentertai- a not the slightest dpijbt ; tli « t tho Oimr tistawo ' tiWhaii as their Utopia , a total suppression of all law . the annihilation of all Magisterial authority the suspension of all police intervention . " Unfortunately for the Editor , however , he has given a full report of Ernest Jones' speech to the publicmeetiug called within two hours after the Magistrates gave their decision—at the conclusion of which speech , as given in that very paper , we find the following paragraph : —
" Mr JosEsthen proceeded to advise his hearers that , as it was their desire and object to let liberty and peace go hand in hand , they should leavo riot and turbulence to the factious , bloodshed to their oppressors , and blows to the minions of the police ; while they maintained pence and . order , bearing no illwill to any man , however much he might have injured them . " And , quoting from the s : ime psper , we find this " ChartUt bloodhound" saying on the same
occasion : — •*• Ho was a great enemy and opponent of any breach ef the peace ; he wouW uphold the law ; he would support justice and not anarchy ; but he insistcdit was impossible justice could ever be maintained , unless the rights of . the people were properly guarded . " , -. Very like a bloodhound , " indeed ! But we do not wonder at the hostility of the editor;—the editor is , doubtlessly ; a " gentleman "—and he
accuses Mr . Jones of walking down the streets , " arm iu arm " with a working man ! This seems to excite his astonishment and indignation in " a barrister and a gentleman . " He has not yet learned that the honest labourer is a more noble man than the paid libeller , or the penny-a-liner , who sells truth and repiitatjon fer a mess of pottage , —or the Magis . tratewho perverts tho ' law , ho has sworn faithfully to administer , —or any rich and titled idler , who lives upon the unrequited labour of his
fellowman . , . - ; ¦" BuV the Editor , poor fellow ! was evidently disappointed . Ho expected a row , and says : " Much disappointment was evidently felt by tlic popular party that no . riot took place . " . We suspect this disappointment was felt by the us-popuIarparty , "Mr Editor , Magistrates & Co ., "—We should like to know how the disappointment wan manifested ? A larger assembly congregated than the county
members were able to obtain—no -pnlice were presentahdnot one word , or station occurred even remotely calculated to ' lead to a breach of the peace—whereas on the previous occasion , when circumstances of painful excitement , like the slaughter of a deserving and excellent young man , hud uot . tnlcon place , the police did not interfere—and violence and bloodshed were the result . In whose bands docs the peace of the country seem most safe" ?
-This sapient Editor , again , lets the wish-be father to the thought . He says . nothing resulted from this display—he says the threat of carrying the case to the assizes , is a mere idle threat . Not so , Mr Editor ; a light has ¦ bten . -kindled amid -your tew , you aiid your mates can never quench . —Not only many working men became members of the Land Company and the Charter after the meeting , but two of tho wealthiest gentlemen in the neighbourhood have signified the same as their intention . The members of ' the Land Company will not tamely submit to the murder of ore of their officers . The
Chartists of the country will not let the little band at . Sleaford struggle alone . This sympathy will be extended—not in an unholy conspiracy against kw and justice , but en the Christian principle of 'Do unto others , as you would that others should do unto you . ' Wc are happy to learn that the Chartists and Land-members of Sleaford have entered into a subscription for the younc ; widow of the deceased , to present her with a paid-up share in the Land Company , and to render other pecuniary assistance . Sadly wrong , indeed , must be the laws ot the country , or their administration , if a faioilv can thus suthlenly ' plunged into mourning , suffer the
irreparable loss of a kind , industrious , and irreproRchablo husband and relative , by the wilful outrage of a '' privileged slayer , and those laws , or those magistrates , sanction the crime , and by such sanction participate in its guilt . Wo can tc ' . l them , the further prosecution of this case is noidlc threat , and ws should , indeed , bl » s ! i for our luvthieii in tub CMs ' ss , were they not to do that which they . will do , prosscuto the investigation to the utmost ! Press of mutter compels us to . omit a report of the public meeting that took * d' \ ca ono hour and a half after the decision was known , but should space admit , we will p . ive it next week , » s reported in tite Boston , Stamford , and Lincolnshire Herald .

Tiie Recent Investigation Of Sleaford. (...
TIIE RECENT INVESTIGATION OF SLEAFORD . ( From the Lincoln . Rutland , and Stamford Mercury . J Tno irivestitratien infc ; i the circumstances of the de .-ith of Dodson , by the hand of palieeman Sharoo , was resumed by the Magistrates at Sieafoid on Saturday last . The hiqui-y occupied the whole of that day , tha whole of Tuesday , and until four o ' clock on Wednesday . The result of the proceedings was a refusal on the part of the magistrates to entertain the case against Sharpc , thus continuing the verdict of the Coroner ' s jury , which declared the homicide
excusable . Charles Allix , Esq .., one of the o'destmagistrates on the bench , protested officially , and in the strongest terms , against their dccUisn . Time will not a flow us to state the case at lensrth ; but , were all the circumstantes known , it would be unnecessary for r . s to itdii , that tito decision of tho bench created it feelinjr of dissatisfaction ; a feeling which was most unequivocally expressed at a meeting held in the Market-place , the same evening . For a meeting confined to the inhabitants of Sleaford , the one held on this occasion was the largest wo have ever known , being attended by upwards of 15 , 000 people .

( Continued from Ihe Second Page . ) case ot hi * client , namely , thi pretended disturbance at the Bristol Anns , as what happened beforo Dodson joined the crowd , had nothing whatever to do with the deceit-ed , However the intention of the learnt d counsel for the de . fence , being to show that Sharpe vas escite-l u ? previous cireutsstancas , and thus to pallitU his actioa on that plea , he ( Mr J . ) had entered into that line of evidence , and had , he thought , clearly proven on tfaj testimony of the very witnesses for the dtftr . ee , that no riot or rescue took place throughout the day .
