'Arrest Of Chartist Leaders.' (From The ...
'ARREST OF CHARTIST LEADERS . ' ( From the Times of Wednesday , June 7 . ) __ The Irish Confederation will no longer have any right to complain that the government distribute the palm of martyrdom with anything like undue partiality . If Mr John Mitchel has been raised to the honours of the calendar in Dublin , in London Messrs Ernest Jones and Fussbll , with some others , are likely enough to be soon canonised by his side . These persons were , we are informed , arrested yesterday on a charge of sedition , and will be brought to trial with aU the speed the law permits . We neither anticipate trouble from reluctant juries ,
nor any general sympathy throughout the country for the authors of the disturbances which have for the last few days disgraced the streets of London . We know enough of an English jury to feel secure that all indignation at their conduct , and all unfavourable impressions received before entering the jury-box , will be banished frora the minds of those who have to decide upon their fate . The trials will be open , and in the face of the country . The prisoners will be dealt with as ordinary culprits , and their cases will be disposed of with as much indifference as though they had been arraigned for filching pocket-handkerchiefs . * * * »
We were threatened iti a few days with a repetitioa of the Kennington affair . The government are tc be commended for having taken time by the _forehrck _, and the offenders by the coilar . It is to be _& oped they will not halt in so wise a course .

_IThe _warf & _ata were issued on Tuesday last by Mr Jardine , ann the prisoners were ap prehended at their residences ; Bt an early hour tee next morning _. Another waarant was issued against Ernest Jones , and being apprehended _^ npon it in Manchester , he was brought to tbe station before the examination of the other prisoners had terminated . Mr _ Iay ward , from the ofEea of Mr Maule , solicitor to the Treasury , conducted the prosecution ; and Mr Bavis , -solicitor , of Holies-street , Cavendishsquare , attended for the three first-named prisoners . Shortly after two o ' clock Williams was placed atthe bar , and H <_ ug £ _lUnar , an officer of tbe G division being sworn , stated that on tbe evening of the 15 th of May , he attended a meeting at Cler-kenwell-green
where there _weca . _aioat 1 , 200 persons assembled , consisting of working people , _costermongers , and boys ; & man , named Maunder May , being in the chain The prisoner was in the van with the chairman , which was arranged as a platform , and being called npon , he came forward and _suoved the following resolution : — ' That this meeting will assist by every _ means in its power the Irish nation in obtaining their liberty / He then said he had been the cause of calling the meeting , as he considered the time had now come for the people of both countries to make a strike for their rights ; that he had been induced to do so , in consequence of reading in the morning papers the
determination of tbe people to assist the Irish patriots in theirjfttand | _againetthegovexn _ ientto obtain Repealfor _fcke Irish nation . With regard to the Charter , the . ' astmoral effort would be made in a few days , by a _profession going up to the _$ uee _ with a memorial , which he would join , marching under a black banner _, with a death ' s head and bones , signifying death or liberty , aad during the time he was frequently cheered , He also said , if a few reen would now make a Btand _, thej _trmac bo victorious ,, ss the time would shortly arrive , the Irish being determined not to allow Mitchel to fa 3 convicted ; and if they arose , the soldiers would join them and free him from prison , if the verdict of thejury did not do eo .
In answer to Mr Davis , witness _aatd Ue could not write short-hand , but he took notes , and wrote them oat as they appeared on the paper he held . Mr Davis submitted , that Pnless the notes were produced , the evidence was inadmissible , wjuch was 6 j _ rru ' ed by the court « The witness proceeded to say , that on the chair being taken , May said that the meeting was to unite with tke Irish Confederates oa the subject of the government trials in Ireland , that it was the duty ot this country to render their assistance . The prisoner said , he did not wish blood to be spilled , mn __ man did not fig-tfbr such a man aa Mitchel , he ought to be damned . There were other speakers beside the prisoner , who remained to the end of the meeting . He considered it was such as to cause considerable terror to the neighbourhood , and that it did so .
Cross-examined : Ue took the MeB Oil Blips of paper with a pencil , and hc _csuld not form any idea of the number of bays present . Ilis opinion respecting the terror caused was formed from what he heard from persons standing by . . r . Moss , 135 C , haviDg proved the apprehension of tho prisoner , . . Mr _H-Tw-RD said , he had no further evidence to offer , but would call witnesses to prove what tooit p ' _ace st . another meeting . . Mr D _ vi 3 considered there wa 3 no seditious _ianrange proved against the prisoner , and wiecCutO j look at the warrant . f Mr Henry _gaid , that it was a general warrant tor using seditious language , and thero was sufficient proved ta send fhe case before a jury ; but aa the prisoner was entitled to put in bail , he tvould fix the _areoimt when the other charcc was concluded .

Papineau , if Mitohel waB convicted , and that the 77 th was tobe removed from Montreal , because tbey shouted for Repeal ; that the Irishmen at New York had a _meeting , at which they Tesolved , if the international law would allow them , they would raise a _brigade to send to Ireland , and if they were not allowed , at the coming eleotion of President , only to vote for him who would allow them ; and to show their determination they had collected 100 dollars for the purpose . He then called upon the people to _otganisa the different _ajgocifltions . that thev were about to hold 3 , 000 meetings in various parts this season , and if they had more members , they would told more than that number , by which means they would confuse and bother the government . The
prisoner then read the followicg resolution — « That this , meeting pasB a vote of _cenBuro againBt the damnable , bloody , tyrannical government , for prosecuting John Mitchel , and will _assist by every means in its power the Irish people to obtain their liberty , * which was unanimously adopted . Tho prisoner Sharp seconded the resolution , aud said he had been censured for using strong language , but he would repeat what he had said , by calling the government a base , bloody , nnd brutal government ; that the time would _soon come for the people to act , for they had marched in Dublin with 15 , 000 Confederates , all of whom were armed , and there was no doubt that John Mitohel would bo free . He believed that the meeting caused terror to the inhabitants , and the prisoner remained till tba last .
la cross-examination the witness said ho attended the meeting for the purpose of noticing tfce descrip . tran and the language used , receiving orders from his eaperintendent , to whom he showed his notes . The apprehension of the prisoners being proved , Sharp said that the , notes were very " r & correctly taken , and the "evidence much exaggerates _; and the other prisoner having said it was all _falsis , they were ordered to enter bail for the misdemeanour , themselves in the sum of „ SM > , and two in £ 100 each , to answer thecharge at the 'Central Chrlttfeaal Court .

Ernest'-Emans Jones Was Brought Into Cou...
Ernest ' -EMans Jones was brought into court in the custody of Sergeant Haines of the detective force , having ju 9 t arrived from Manchester . The prisoner , -who displayed mere assurance tban either of the other prisoners , _appeared about thirty-five years ofaee , of fair complexion , and about themiddle stature . He said . he was a _barrkter-at law of thfi Middle Tempie , and member of the Chartist executive , and resided , until lately , at 14 , George-street , _Portman-square . He added that he was not at present exactly in any residence , _but his father was looking out for one for him . Mr IlfflvnY . —Dave jou authorised any professional person lo appear for you ?
The _PnisoNEn— 'Oa , no , your worship . 1 have onlj just arrived from Manchester _^ Mr H & nev . —PerhapB you are aware , if you are a _barriater-at-law , that you can compel tbe witness abont to he _examined , -to read from his Bberfchand notes , instead of the transcript ? The _FirtSGN-K . — _ am not very well acquainted with the criminal branch ofthe profession ; bst the point ia perfectly immaterial . I am quite willing to trust to the gentleman ** s honour as to the accuracy of what he is about to « tate . James < T 7 _ rrs , of No . 97 , _York-road . —I am a shorthand writer . -On Sunday evening-, the 4 th of June , I attended a meeting in Bishop Bonner ' s _, fields , between six and seven o'olock . It was an open air meeting . I am not a judge of numbers , but I
should think thero were fifteen thousand persons there assembled . The speakers addressed the meeting from a raised ground or gravel heap . There waB no chairman . The prisoner Jones was one of the speakers , I took notes of all the _Bpeeohes . The prisoner said , —* Mr Chairman and men of the Tower Hamlets , in the first plaee , I have to apolegiBe to you for not having been here sooner ; but a man cannot be at two places at tbe same time . There was a meeting announced for _Irengate-wharf , Paddington , and the police , I understand , meant to forbid that meeting taking place . I waa invited to attend it , and therefore did attend it . There were a goad many police there , but they did not venture to interfere with the meeting ; and I can tell yoa this : —hold your meetings _; for , although the government
certainly are mad , tbey are not mad enough to put down pubiie meetings ; and , if they were mad enough to no it , I , fer one , hurl defiance in their teeth , and dare them to disperse tbis legal and peaceable assembly , I must a 6 k the favour of your indulgence to-day , inasmuch as I start by mail train to-tiighfc for Lancashire and Yorkshire ; and , as thoBe places are both in a very excited state , I shall have to use my lungs there a good deal . And , as London is not 80 excited as those parts of the country nre , _exouse me from addressing you at any great length to-day . All I say is this : —Stand fast by your colours . Do not shrink frora the Charter , and the wbola Charter . Do not listen to the nonsense of the half-and-half men . Do not pay any attention to the Dj . _^ tch , and if vou see any bodies of police coming near to this
meeting , marching on to this meeting , stand your ground , shoulder by shoulder . Do not run . There is danger for those who run . There is safety for those who keep together . Dare them to strike you , and , my word for iti they dare not strike a blow . If they were to strike a blow , bad as the laws are now , still they aro sufficiently stringent to punish these men who assault peaceable citizens in the peaceable execution or performance of their duty . In nine oaseB out often it _iarour own fault , li la your own cowardice , that invites others to strike a blow . It is men saying ' We will not di this , and we will not do that , because ifc is forbid . ' Make up your mind , —stand by it , — and , whatever comes , stand to your ground . There cannot be more _heada broken than there are on those occasions when men run away . All I say is , that
government are desirouB of marring the performance ofyour duty ; that duty is organisation . I have not been among you for aome little time . Where are your classes ? Have you made your wardmotes ? Have you got your class-leaders ? Have you perfected your organisation ? If not , call public meetings and elect your class-leaders . Do not let the classes be formed before you have the class-leaders . You will find it much moro easy to form a class after the class-leader is appointed . For if you form classes . and then afterwards appoint leaders , you may spend two or three hours or morettpon the formation of every class , and never come to a fixed determination with regard to it , as one man will live here and another there . Elect the leader , and he knows the men likely to fcrm tbe class living in his neighbourhood . There
will be no improper assumption ot that power , because yoa all elect the class-lenders at the pubiie meetings . Rest assured if each locality elects 100 _class-leaders you will soon hare 1 . 000 men under the banner . This is the way to get up the organisation . And then you may elect wardmotes—one out of ten will be a ward _, mate . Commence at the foundation rightly—namely , the classes , and the wards and all tho rest will follow of itself . It is no use coming _amoag you when there is no organisation , and it is not the executive that can get up the organisation . Show ua your organisation , and we will show you how to get your rights . _Depend upon ii we willnot leave you . Steer clearof aU partial outbreaks and partial rioting . There has been an outbreak at Bradford and Manchester . We sent Dr M'Douall , who is now addressing a glorious meeting afc Paddington , to tell them to engage in no partial riot— -no partial outbreak . That is just what
the government wants . In a riot of that kind they immediately sei _ o upon the leading men , and that will cripple your organisation . Go on _organising , organising , organisms ? , and the rest will C 01 H 0 . Never fear it . Aud there is one _thinx more that is wanted , and that is funds . Funds arc wanted . Tbe country is beginning to do its dutv nobly , and that is a great test of public feeling . But , mark you , suppose that it was true , as we beard la -t night , that fighting had begun in Dublin—that tho government had ordered thc papers to say nothing ofthe insurreotfcnin Dub lin , in order to keep this country in the dark about ifc ; supposing it should be necessary for ub to send a man over to seo with his own eyes and hear with his own ears , and thus breathe defiance to the lying press ; suppose that this should be all necessary , and suppose tbat we have not got tho money to send thafc mau over , see what danger the movement runs—how it may be thrown back for a few paltry pounds to
ratify the bond of union between the English and the Irish people . Union of sentiment , union of democracy , but separation from a yoke that binds the one nation in the thraldom of another . ReBt assured , I will be working for yon in Bradford , Halifax , Manchester , and other places where turbulence and broilare going on . It will be my aim to bring the West Riding — Sheffield and LeedB — up to the mark of Bradford . [ A large portion of the speech was here devoted te answering articles in tho Weekly Dis-PATCB , and a letter of Mr Cebden _, who had charged
them with carrying the wagea ot despotism in their pockets , forgetting the £ ' / 0 , 000 he had lately pocketed aimt , elf . An attack on the' mi' _k-sop middle classes ' followed , and an exhortation to the people to join in a _grand demonstration , he would tell them where , Whit-Monday . l Only organise ( continued the speaker ) , and you will yet sec the green flag floating over Downing-street . Let that be accomplished , and John Mitchel shall be brought back again te hia own country , and Sir G . Groy and Lord J . Russell shall be sent out to exchange places with hiru . '
During the reading of the speech , the prisoner cor . reeled one or two clerical errors of slight importance , which had been made in transcribing . Mr Henrt . —You have now heard tho whole of tho speech attributed to you hy tho witness . Do you wish to put any < _question to him respecting it ? Tho PRi 80 NER , « _=. _Kone whatever . 1 can only compliment that gentleman upon the accuracy of his ro . port of my speech . It is a true _reporfc'oi the sentiments Ithen and thero expressed , and of the sentiments I still entertain , _Relieving them to be the sentimentsof justice and truth . But I wish tc ask why I have been arrested . It surely cannot "be , that I have been _brOQgbt fill the way from Manchester for delivering _thisspeeohj in which I contend there is nothing
_illfigal—ndtking thafc nu ' _Rot notfbe said with tne strictest propriety even by E ' . ihu _ . urritt himself . Surely , tho charge against tne is „ ot founded upon any statement i _ thia speech ? fife H _ NRT aaid—AeyouhaverequeBtedmy opinion npon this speech , 1 muBt tell yon that I am clearly of opinion _thstit is seditious . Tho tone and spirit of it tnronghout we highly calculated to incite an ignorant mob to illegal acts . _iBhallhave no hesitation in committtag you for trial , and leaving a Jury to form _adjudgment npon it ; b _ t at the same time I am willing to hear anything you may wish to
eay in answer to the charge against you . The _Pkisonbr .- 'Ab it is your determination to send the case to a jury _ImustbowtovourdeoiBum , and shall reserve the observations I have to make . _ presume I shall oa admitted to bail ? Mr _Hejur-v ;—It is a bailable offence . You appear , however , _to'be a person of education , and superior in that respect and station to the other prisoners . I must , therefore , require from you a larger amount of bail than ia their _casea , lou _© H 8 fc find two sureties in OB _6 each , and enter into your own recogni zances ic tho Bum of £ 530 . ; and , in the meantime , you _staad-committed to Newgate .
The same intimation as _to-tbe twenty-fouraours " notice _ofbail being required was then given , and the _pnsonerwaB removed .
Arrest Of W.J. Vernon. *B0w-Sebbet, (Thu...
ARREST OF W . J . VERNON . * B 0 _W-SEBBET , ( THURSDA ?) . — WlLIXAM _JOBN VeRhon—the fifth who hag been arrested during the past two days—was placed at tho bar before Mr Henry to-day . The Treasury _Soxickcok appeared for the prosecution ; Mr Parr ; defended the prisoner . The Prisoner having given hia name , said he was a lecturer and writer , living at No . 9 , Sussexstreet . The first witness called was
_'JpREPBBlCK T . Fowler , a reporter , who said , on the ' : 29 th of May last , _be-attended a _meeting at Clerkenwell Green ; it was in the evening . There were about three thousand persons present—they were mostly ' riff-raff . ' Mr Parry . —I object to that impertinent expression , Sir : this man himself may be ' riff-raff , ' for aught I know . Let the witness apeak English . Examination continued . —They were mostly young men and boys present _; there were a few labouring men , but the great m & _as of the crowd were pickpockets , thieves , and low _charaoteru . Mr Parr ? intimated that the witness was Btating wbat he could only guess to be true .
_Witness _.- _—A man named Williams spoke hrst . The prisoner was not there when Williams first spoke . When Williams had done speaking , he said , ' Now , my lads , fall into marching order . ' The assembly fell into marching order , four abreast . The prisoner took the arm of two young men , who appeared to be his friends , and walked with them . He was _sometimes in one part of the procession and sometimes in another . The procession went down Ayleabary-street io St John-street-road . Witness went up Wilderness-row and met the procession at the corner of Old-street . Witness did not then Bee whether tbe piisoner was amongst them or not . From Old-street the procession Went on to Finsbury-square , where witness again saw the prisoner . He waa then marching round with
the rest of the procession . The procession continued to maroh round for half an hour or three quarters . The prisoner was amongst them all the time . The procession proceeded along Beech-street , _Chiswelistreet , Barbican , and Long-lane , into Smithfiold . Witness does not know the man who gave tho principal words of command . The prisoner marched with them out of Finsbury-square , and witness was not sure he saw him again , but he thought he saw him afterwards in Oxford-street . Before tho procession started from Clerkenwell , some one Baid , 'three curses for the government . ' The prisoner , who was standing by witness , turned round to him , and said , ' I don't like these things . They're of aouBe . Curses don't break bones . '
_MrHaXwoon asked witness what he thought waa tbe _effect in the neighbourhood of the meeting and marching . Mr Parrt objected to the question . What the witness thought waa nothing ; what he saw was all that was to the purpose . Witness said , he saw evidences of alarm . People ran out and shut up their shops in a great hurry as the procession came along . The witness was _croaa-examiEfld by Mr Parry ;—After the expression , 'three curses for the government , ' had been used , ' witness first spoke to the pri . soner before he made the remark above-mentioned . _WitnoBs understood his meaning to be that he dinapproved of such strong expressions . He said no . thing else on the subject , however .
Mr Parrt eaid , the expression ' curses break no bones , ' he believed was a quotation from ' "Venice Preserved . ' Examined by Mr Henri—The procession marched along the middle of the road . When it reaehed _Dsan-street , about ten o ' olock at night , it must have consisted of about 60 , 000 or 60 , 000 person ** . Witness left them soon afterwards . William Godfrey , a constable , 147 C , said heap _, prehended the prisoner about half-past 11 o'clock last night in _Sussex-Btreet , Tottenham-court-road , by virtue of the warrant now produced . Thiaclo 3 ed the case forthe prosecution . Mr Parrt said that he would trespass on the at . tention of the court very briefly ; but it appeared to him that a more flimsy case could scarcely be made out on eo serious a charao .
Mr Henry—Of taking part in ao unlawful assembly . Mr Paert— Yob ; but unless there is a prima facie caBe , not only that the prisoner was present at the unlawful meeting , but that ho sanctioned it , no case could be made out to send the prisoner for trial . Many peisons , such as the witness , and others , were present on that day , and the _witnesB had siid that he understood the prisoner to disapprove of the _expressioag used . Under these _eircBmBtances he ( Mr Parry ) contended that no . _pn ' ma / acfccasowas made out ; and he was sure the magistrate would treat this as an ordinary case , and not be in any way affected by the fact that the government prosecuted in it .
Mr Henry . —I have no hesitation ia saying thst tho prisoner did take part in that procession , and that all who did were guilty of an unlawful act . I shall , therefore , commit him for trial . Another case was then gone into . Thomas Wells , a sergeant of the C division , said he was preBent at a meeting held at a Chartist meeting house in Dean-street , Seho , between eight and nine o ' clock oa the _evening of tbe 28 ; h of May . The prisoner _spoke _^ at that meeting . He w _» 3 speakingi in the first place , in reference to the trial of Mitchel . He did not consider that he had had & fair trial . lie also hoped they were all armed ; he knew they were at Blackheath and Paddington . He was muoh surprised that they sent out so many
bluo-coated men in Paddington , which was not the case in any other district . He said he had seen two inspectors whom he knew at Blackheath that day . but that . did not prevent him from speaking his mind openly , whioh ho hnd done sicca his first com . mencement of lecturing . He wished to be prepared for coming events . Those that could write could write as well with ' steol pens as quills , asd it did not signify whether the pens were dipped in red or black ink-He advised them to get _pikss—not to conceal them under their coats , but to carry them on their 3 feouldera _, _sor _ at it might be seen they had got them _, lie wished every Irishman to come forward , and the
Chartists would one and all assist them , and not suffer a man like John Mitchel fo be transported and sent out of the country . Government should see they would not have all their own way , and every man _who would not come forward to rescue him should ba served " woree than Lord John Russell , who made himaelfso active in passing the _GaggingBill .

The Arrests At Bingley. To The Bd1t0r Of...
THE ARRESTS AT BINGLEY . TO THE BD 1 T 0 R OF THE NORTHERN STAR , Bikg-by _, June 7 th . ' Sir , —Having seen reports of riots and disturbances 8 tn Bingley , to all _appearance emanating , from indi-. . _viduals either unable or unwilling to give a correct t account , I consider it my duty , as a person . ac-:-quainttd with the facts , to givo them ra they mmcarred , so that the country may know the crimeB oti the criminals—who they were ~ acd who were theeparties in reality , who produced all tho routs , riots ,, and rebellions , in the peaceful and orderly httle a town of Bingley . It appears that by way of frolic .. or through some other similar came , a few boys and 1 young men , had amused themselves once or twice , by r going through movementsresembling these of tho 5
, militarj * i Without , in my opinion , knowing anything _; about military exeroiees , or the consequences Of t imitating them . For this horrible offence , two oft the parties named W . Smith and John Kelvington ,, were apprehended at about five o'clock , on the 1 ?' evening of Friday , May 26 th . From tho nature off the apprehension , it appears that the authorities off Bingley wanted to shew off , and make _something * out of nothing , as I am quite confident , tbat ha _ i the magistrates isBued a caution of any kind for * > bidding such practices , they would have been _discontinued at once , and nothing mere heard of tha i matter . InBtead of that , however , the two young : ; men were apprehended , without having been pre- ¦ vioHBly informed of tho nature of the offence , and in
twenty minutes from the time of their apprehension , they wero on the road to the Railway Station , for York Castle . In the meantime a few ot their neighbours , on being informed of the circur _ 3 _tan . 3 e , collected about them in astonishment , and wanted to know the nature of the crime . On finding itwas for training or drilling , one or two inquired if it was not a bailable offence , and the constables at their request , took the two yonng men back again to W . B . _Forrand . the committing _magistrate , to know if bail WOHld not be accepted . On arriving at the magistrate ' s room , Mr Ferrand ordered the door to be fastened , and commenced an oration about the
amount of bail he would require , taking care to fix it at an enormous figure . On the crowd outside hearing him give orders to fasten tho door , a rush took place into the room , and during the confusion the prisoners were hurried out . They were then conducted to a blacksmith *! ' shop and the _handcoffr filed off , after which the men were triumphantly marched through thc streets . An insult of this kind could not be tolerated by a man of Mr Ferrand ' s temper , and on that evening the of __» _cialsof Bingley , consisting of drunken constables and other low characters of different kinds , were br . _r- in scouring the country by horse , gig , and rail , _n _qi ' _iest of military .
On the same night a boat called the Water Witch , belonging to a special , who had made himself very busy in running about after soldiers was set on fire by some unknown parfcies _. _'bufc being out of date for passengers on account of the railway , it _appears tohave caused little uneasiness' to the ownerf the value being only about £ 10 , which it iB supposed haB been made good by the authorities . From thafc day till Wednesday the town continued tranquil , if we ex _» cept disturbances caused by a few special constables * some of whom wandered drank about the street _^ attempting to keep a kind of military step , On the Wednesday morning the effects of the riding and running about the country began to develop themselves by the appearance ofa quantity of
old pensioners armed like military , who had arrived by rail at about seven o ' clock in the morning , Each carried a gun and _sisty rounds of ball cartridge , and the appearance of the motley crew of old men , like the fag-end of _Falstsffs ragged regiment of all sorts and sizes , appeared to excite a good deal of curiosity . A quan _« tity of Noodles from Otley , and of regularmilitary from Bradford , next arrived , and when the whole of the heroes of the different corps were assembled , they presented an appearance which plainly showed tb _ t something terrible was upon : the point of being attempted . The noodles were appointed to guard the railway station , and the foot and old pensioners were marched to some
factories and workshops , with Ferrand and a posse of constables at their head , to Beiz 9 upon certain in _» _dividuals they suspected of something . Ferrand and the _constabieB , under the protection of the military andthe Bixty old _BritiBh Horn * , then went to work , by dragging men and boye from their work in utter ignorance of the cause , and one man , named Isaac _Ickerisgile , remarkable for his quiet and _iaoffeneive habits , wbb dragged out of bed in hia shirt . This feat , I am told , was performed by Ferrand himself , who tore him out , telling him to come aleng for a d—d thief . Sixteen were thus dragged from their homes , and hurried off by an _expresu train to York , _^ without a moment ' s time to ascertain the cause , or for their
relatives to know anything about their destination - After thus getting them safely embarked lor York , without fear of a rescue , Ferrand , with a quantity of his pets , comprising the most unprincipled charac ters in Bingley , went to York and commenced exa . mining and committing the victims . This examina tion , like the apprehension , waB quite novel . One man appeared to bave got mixed amongst the prisoners by some means unknown to eithor the magistrate or his mea . Ferrand wanted to know how he happened to be amongst the prisoners , when his officials _itifirmed him that he ( Ferrand ) had seized the man himself , and they had brought hint accordingly . Thia he ( FerrandJ denied , and laid tie blame oa thera , and the man waa finally dismissed , with Mb
railway fare and wages paid . Three procured bail , one was acquitted , aHd seven are still in prison . Oho man named James Bland , a licensed hawker , Who was on the list , but who was absent on hie business , on hearing that they were searching every hole and corner for him returned home and surrendered himself . Ferrand , either through fear ofthe man , who is very big and powerful-looking , or wishing to seo him in the trne character of a free-bora Englishman before his superiors , would not deign to enter into arrangements with him about bail till he was secured by a pair of handcuffs . He thon demanded the enormous amount of £ 300 , _hhoBelf to be bound in ono hundred pounds and two sureties in one hundred pounds each , which was readily procured . Another of the party they wished to apprehend being also absent from home , two of the specials , Varley and Fould 8 , went _tohis lodgings and broke openhb
box but found nothing but his clothes . _Busfieid Ferrand has made himself quite notoriouBin this affair , none of the other magistrates having had anything to do with it . Like a true Tory , he appears to have imagined that tho good old times of Judge _JerTenee or of the Irish Rebellion had again ' returned , and that anything like liberty for the labouring clasa is now laid aside under the gloriouB rule of Russell , Grey _, and Co . The specials , who have mado themselves _mosfcoonapicuoua m the affair are beginning to open their eyes to their folly , more especially on Saturday nights . One light-headed fellow amongst their party , distinguished by the appropriate title ef Cork , we are informed , had very little to de on Saturday nkht , except to walk about meditating upon the events of the past week . It appears that if he is determined to use his staff on his customers' heads they are determined that he Bball not use his razor on their chins . An Eye Witness to the Whole ArrAlB _^
