BEG " . V . SEL 8 _BT AND _OTHISllS . The defendant Selsby had been indicted , with twenty-five others , ot f a charge of _conspiraoy , and on the trial of the indictment , ; which' took place at Liverpool , at tlie last summer assizes , before Mr Baron Rolfe , the defendant Selsby was convicted , with _eiyht others . Mr Knowles , Q _. Ci _. now _cloved in arrest of judgment , or for a new trial . He _^ aid that tbo prosecutors ofthe indictment were _Jot-n Jones and Arthur Potts , who carried on business in partnership as ironfounders and engineers at the Viaduct Foundry , at
_Newton-on-the-Willows , in the count ; of Lancaster . _Tbeindictment was the longest , he bfc'lievcd , which had ever been preferred , aud contained , as many as ( _"cnty-six counts ' . ' It in substance charged that the defendants , ' on the 1 st of July , 1846 , and . on divers other days and times , conspired ; with divers cvilili < poscd persons , by divers indirect means and practices , to impoverish the prosecutors , and to hinder them from carrying on their said _business flf u ! " founders and engineers . The jury had given a " diet of guilty upon all the . counts . Many of i _' counts were _undoubtedly bad , but ho was at _a'lotss what he was to do , avhere he was to begin .
The Attorney-General Bajd perhaps his learned friend avould begin with the f irst and twenty-fifth counts . Mi * Knowles . Q . C ., read the first count , and' explained that tho defendants wore members of a society cal ed the "Journeymen Steam Engine Machine Makers Friendly Society , " of-which the defendant Selsby was the secretary . Tho _/ _proBccutorswere _engaged in a foundry of a . kind , which , required the avuvkmansbip to be executed . ' with . ' great care and nicety ; and it had been the custom in t & afc trade to employ as workmen men who had served an apprenticeship of seven years . The prosecutors , however , had introduced a new system , and employed workmen who hud only spent one or two years in
learning the business . Those men _wouldtakesmallcr wages ;¦ and the other workmen therefore combined , if any combination was proved , to persuade parties not to _aa-nrk at . thb shop avhere _illegal apprentices avere employed .. It was shown that live or six i > f the men had placed themselves as a p'flkot—that w . _*» 8 , tliey had walked about near tne _Tiiaduct Foundry , and _rntfca'voiircd to persuade men against . -avorkim * - for the prosecutor ? . No act of violence was proved _^ a « ninst any of tnom , but in some ewes they had made use of threatening _lsancuase _, and those _pcrties had been found _girSTty . No act of confederacy , however , bad heen proved against Selkby _, bnt only that , as secretary to ihe society , he . had _issued an address to the workmen . Tie now moved for a new trial , on
the _groua-d of a misdireetiori of the learned jiulce . flp _aa-ou'd net" wish ft So be understood _tFrafc t . lio defendants complained of » ny _unfairness on tfte part of the learned _jcrl _& e ; on tne contrary ,, tliey wero satinftW with the manner in * which the _c-ist-- had Wen left to tire jury _, _ejraept _inonapnint , whidi _lioslif . wW _enntenaf _amminiedHn a _mii-dlrection . _The'learnerJjudge told the jury _trlht'he should be . _doina an inj ' _o _3 ti _<* e if he" were to put upon them' a task which tliey could not * perform—that of comprehending all the counts of the indictment . He ; therefore , told theni ' tnat the substance of the indictment ' avas , . that _fchedefenditnts _, in ' _tendiiic to _imp-averish Jnne _^ and Potts-, conspired to _iprevent-thcm from carrying on their trade ; and -tnat i » hv- essence of the charge -was ; the conspiracy . His
_lordship added that if the defendants conspired _to-prevr-nt the prosecutors from carrying on th ' pir trade , it wan properly laid as an _intntto impoverish' thorn ; for that was-the _noeo « sary consequence of" their" act . The _defendants bad been found guilty upon a-W'ttie count ? , one of whieh chargetPthcm with conspiring to prevent " all _persons in tBe _arorld" ff « m working forJor . wand Potts . There were some of-them _quite _inconsistent with others , and the _evidencothnt'ap _* plied to one would not apply tt > another . It _waa-tlie duty of the Judges ; however-difficult it might ; bet . to explain the counts tothe jury , and it was so-laid down by thr- Lord Chief Justice in the case , of "'Re' gina v . 0 _'Connel ! . "' If their Lordships thought'the prisoner deserving of 'three months' imprisonment lor the offence charaed in thetirst count ; there wan _nothing _Jega'Iv to binder them from giving the same punishment 26 times over . lie knew- the Caurt would do justice , but the subject had &> right to
require that' the Judec should- not have the power to do injustice . Snraeof the counts were bad . and it miclit bo that the jury found' him guilty-on the-had counts . The Learned _Jiifi & o'hail told thtajury that thi' charge •• 'as properly laid- to _impoverish _, for thai , vas ttm _neccssar ? .-- consequence of the dcfcntLinls ' act . Th » t wassc _? . hc admitted , if the act was necessarily illegal ; but- _heenntanded that it was not so . when * the act _misbt be legal or illegal ; . He contended that Selsby had not done anything illegal ; on the contrary , he _discaantenanaed their doing _anything i _' . _' . ecnl .. He contended that the verdict was ' ngainat the _evidence _, _axa £ there \\ w \ Wen a _raKdircclin-n . The act _G-Scorge I \' .,. c . 119 , had had the effect not only of rejaealimi the statute law against the combinations of workmen , _'mlrhad removed tlie illegality at _coranaon-iaw . Tha-count charged that the defendants conspired "by indirect means"to . _impoverish .. That couatwas too general _, and it _was-not-assisted by tho nv < -rt acta . _Ilrwas badJin arrest of judgment .
Mr Bai . nei , Queen ' s Counsel , addressed' the court nn _> bchaif . of fcwoof tile defendants , Boawnan and _Flrib , and _nwwd in arrest of _jedi-mont , aad also for anew trial , on tho ground tant the verdict was _ceainst the _ev-idesce . . Mr _WATsas . ( _Queen ' s _Counssl , _addrossad tho court for Dawson and Wilson . A tax found in , the possession of Bowman waa illegally broken , into , and some papers found * therein were , he submitted , improperly read in evidence . Lord DaxMAS said , the coart wouldseo the learned _judue before ' . her decided . Mv _Ksowlbs , Q _,. _C-, thou , nay _lord _^ will your judgment be dc ' _ivered shortly ?* The defendants are nil working men ; shall they remain in town or may they go homo ?
_AttossRY-GKSEUAL . —If your lordships arc _» f opinion that your judgment will not be _dt-Hvered shortly I should not oppose the return ot the men to their work . Lord Df . mjan .-LHT THE MEN GO HOME . . This case , although the _preks failed to give much publicity to it , excited the most intense interest , and the court wa s crowded in all parts with well-dressed , respectable looking sons of toil . The conspiratois , a most . respectable looking set of men , sat in front of the bar , utterly unconscious of havin-. ' violated the laws of their country , and thus _i-nded another of labour's legal triumphs , whioh now only requires the _continuous . perseverance ofthe friends to labour to turn it into a complete victory . Bnt they must not yet sleep nor rest in presumed _security , as their apathy or want of preparedness would be the signal for the caemy ' s renewed and more vigorous attack .

_DmoRABus Deatu . —On Tuesday nn inquest , was held before W . Carter , Esq .,. at the Waterman ' s Arms . Surrey Canal , on the body of Mr G . Dutton , aged 56 , who wa « found drowned under most extraordinary circumstances . Mr J . _LalanuY CJmrclistrcot _, Trinity-square , stated that deceased had been for upwards of thirty years a confidtntinl clo'k to a solicitor in the city . On Wednesday night , at nine (•/ clock , the deceased left him at London Bridge to meet-iris wife in Suvr y -square . lie waa never seen
afterwar _ds aiive . They had been having somo wine , and the _^ decea sed was merry , but not intoxicated . On Saturday tlw . body was found near Taylor ' sbridge , Surrey Canal . - It appeared to have been in ihe water _t-vo or three days . Frequently , avhen he has taken a little wino a stupor appears to have come over him . It seemed , the deceased had a sum of £ . 2 6 _< . _wlaon ha left the city , and as neither this not his hat could ho accounted for . tbo jury relumed » verdict of ' Found drowned , but there was no evidenco to show ho w he came in the water . "
Foroertof a Writ bt an Attorney . —A legal practitioner , named Turner , has been committed for trial by the magistrates of Sheffield , upon it chained of having forged a writ . It appears that Turner had been instructed in _^ November last , by the trustees of a benefit club , to issue a writ against a person who had failed to ray the money which he had _boiTwed of the club . _Before the writ arrived , the defaulter made _arrangements ter payment ; but Turner said that he had received the writ , on the day following that on which the _arrnncements wero made , and he avns consequently paid 25 s . costs . When this __ sum was paid , he was required to deliver the original
writ ; ' and , with some reluctance , he hand _* -d over a writ in which several erasures were discerni _|*! _i-. The avrit was suspected to bo a forgery , and Turner was afterwards apprehended . A clerk of the Queen ' s Bench-office , London , stated , at . the last examination , that no precipe for such a writ ha < l been issued in November last ; and thut he believed that the precipe for the avrit produced in _ci . urt had been issued in January , 1816 . The prosecutors offered to abandon the proceedings , if Turntrcould produce a letter froih his London agent enclosing the writ , or otherwise _* how that he had really ncsived it ; but ho was unable to oftVr any proof whatever .

MrShcppard went to a druggist in _Mcalecapun-strect and asked for a phial of prussic acid , frhicli lie represented that he required for a patient . The druggist , whoso name is Stringer , knowing Mr Siicppard well , and giving full credit to his _representation did net hesitate in furnishing him with what ho required . MrShcppard then , on some pretext , retired to Mr Stringer ' s back sitting room , and immediately afterwards he was heard to fall on the ground . Mr Stringer ran into the room and found Mr Siicppard in the agonies of death , having swallowed nearly the whole of the deadly poison , a few drops of which would have been _aufHciontto destroy _Ufo _; ho died almost iast »« taneougly .

MR _M'GRATfl' 3 INTRODUCTION TO DEKBY . ( Prom the Derby Reporter . ) ' A numerous meeting was held at tho _TownJiall , on Thursday evening ; , to hour an address from Mr Philip _M-draMi , the Chartist candidate—Mr Gorse was TOtod to tho chair . Mr _CLAnK ( a Chartist l 6 ctur « r ) was first called upon to address ihe . meeting . In the courgp . of a speech of some _letigth _. _iMr' CUark alluded ' to the claims of Mr M'Grath as / contrasted with those of Mr Levesoii dower , nhil contended that the electors of Derby would not do thi'ir-diity to themselves or to posterity unless thpy _siilt'ctctl Mr M Grath , avho was a supportur of the rights of the people , six-sevenths ofthe male adult _populition of this country being at present exclude *) from any voice in the malting of the laws which they arc called upon to obey . After dwelling on these and other topics , Mr Clark concluded amidst loud cheers .
The Chaibhan next called upon Mr Doyle who , in the course of a lengthy address , advocated some of the leading principles of the Charter , and dwelt especially upon the question of Church and State—that unholy alliance avhich was consummated in blood and fraud . Tho tinni was come to bury both _Wnjggigm and Toryism . Mr _M'GaA ' _TH then _rnse and was received with clapping of hands .

You- will all admit thst the measure , of reform
passed in 18 & 2 _: did not oiigiuato ' aailh . tho aristocracy , but was _brought _abouir-oleby _throtigli the instrumentality _ofthc-n-orkingclasoes _ofEncIand , as was also the abolition of the slave trade , which , was _agittitori by the middle classes for years , backed- out by the avorkiog classes , before thu aristocracy- took it in ha * d . ( -Loud _cheers . ) The repeal of the Corn Laws had also its origin in the lower _cesses of 60 _« iety , E » en Tjoril John Russell , great a _> statesman as- be is , contend-d for a long period , that if . the Corn Laws- wore repealed it would entail , misery ami privation upon tbe laud , and during all this time the working classes were convinced of the injury that avas inflicted by . _thess min _.-itaal laws , and were convinced of the effects avhich would result if they were abolished . Tin
roply ha made to tho opinions they held upon this subject ava _*> _, that ho was placed in a more favour _, able position for judging that they were , and that he was convinced : that the regnal of the Com Laws could not bo _etJcoied without being pieductWe of injurious effects ; yet did this noble Lord and Sir Roberjt Peel both oom & Sdravard in l & H nnd each , of thera bow toihe decision avhich thu people _htad _pronounc _' cd . upon these _laavs . Nowhere vras a proof that the intelligence of ths people was in advance of tbe statesmen wbo were placed at the hendof the affairs of the nation . ( Loud cheers , ) . Who would deny that after tho proofs which history and their own , observations brought forward , that working men were . incompetent to _judgt for _thcmsolvei , ( Renewed cheering , ) I am nn advocate for the severance of the Church from the
State , ana contend that the man aaho is obliged by the laavs of the land to _subscribe toward * holding up in splendour ' that Church from which lis conscientiously differ , is a religious slave . It wis _ntver ordained by God that tho conscience of any one should be held in trammels . An Established _Ctiui-eh never produoedgood , or worked beneficially for the great body ofthe people . ( Cheers . ) , If you search through the whole ol' Christendom , you avill evetyavhere find that a State Church has always been leagued avith a Statu party against ' th « best interests of the people , and you avill _alaa-ays find them willing to make laws for the exclusive benefit of each . See what this unholy alliance has produced in ovcry era of the avorld , and the delugo of blood that has H-. _iaveu to
mnintninthe connection , - To this we may trace thu cause of the streets of Paris flowing with , blood ou ths eve of St _Bartholomew , the fires of Smithfield , aud the horribly devastating wars of the crusades . _1 Ye pay £ 10 , 000 , 000 yearly to uphold the splendour of the ministers of the Church , One of the fundamental principles ofthe Church of Knglnnd Is , that every man should read his Bible , and draav from it his own conclusions ; and yet it compels au honest Unitarian , Q'lakcr , or member of any otbiu * Dissenting community t-i violate his own conscience , and pay towards the support of a Church , in which he believes tho word of God is not _prjipei-ly ex . plained ; thus he is compelled , not only to cuntsibutelo tho support of his own place of worship , but also v > one from which he conscientiously dissents . ( _Louil cheers . )
Mr M'Grath next alluded to tin ; new _Toor L « _w , _dciioun . uing its op ; ration in strong terms , urging upou them the duty of sending a man to the House of Commens , who avould mako tho avails ring-avith an emphntic "A _' o " to this law . IIo then _proceeded to speak of the condition of Ireland , and its people as follows : _—Justice has never yet been afforded to Inland , its streets and _allryt ars croavded avith people dropping doavn from actual _starvatioaa . Wa _sotaiatianoR Iwiirpeople _aay that the miseries of Ireland Is n judgment from tho all wise , God . I Im . licv « in no such doctrine , hut think those are guilty of blasphemy who entertain any such opinion . I attribute its misfortunes to ths Irish landlords and to tho Church , combined avith the government of the tavo countries ; its air is salubrious , its noil of the richest quality , it »
_possition in every respect favourable , and yet you will not find a place on the face of the globe avhere the _pesplt are so degraded . Even tho slaves of Antiqua have lately _subsci-ibed £ 144 for the relief of a people living under a dynasty which is tbo g lory ofthe world ! The people stand in need of moral , social , and political improvement ; and it is a duty _devolving upon y _« . u to return * man to parliament who is prepared to devote his _eaewics to the carrying out such measure ! , as avill bo _BonduoiYC to tho rml _wc-lfsro of a l « nd so (* ro » tly depressed . ( Loud applause ) I will now _proueeu to offer some observations upon taxation . The time is come ( or lessoning the burdens which at present press so heavily upon Englishmen . Why should we bu called upon to pay the same amount of taxation , as when
England avas at war with ths world t Why should fiftyfour millions be exacted every year in che . _slupc of taxation ? It was a monstrous and unjust system , aud the sooner it was swept away the better . ( lameuBe _chi eying . ) With regard to Free Trade , I am glad to find that my opponent ( for such I must call ' him ) _j 5 prepared to carry out Free Trade principles to tT _. eir fullest extont ; he pledges himself to do so , and I pl _^ d g _* myself to do so likewise . I Applause . ) Wc aroliv ' ing in B time when tho industry of the people is taxed to the amount of fiftyfour millions annually ; everything is taxed , food , clothing , houses , every necessary of life is taxed . Taxation pursutjs man through life ; his very coffin it taxed , as is also the voioe of tbe minister who preaches the funeral _It-i'vice over bis remains , I contend for the annihilation ofthe CustQuvhouH and _Exclse-ofuca , and ( or unfettered

commerce with the world . - ( Cheers . ) The question arose , how ara we to carry on without this sum being paid _lii taxation ! ' I would answer , bow has the coun . try been supported from the ' time when Julius _Cwsar fltit invaded Britain , down to tha reign ' . of _Olivsr Cromwell . Principally by taxes upon the land _oftbi country . To show the amount of taxation existing upon the necessaries of life , Mr MGrath instanced ter ,, which a poor woman bought at a shop for 3 i . per . Ib ., but which had a duty of 2 s . 8 d . per lb . _impessd on it by government . The speaker then proceeded to offer
soma remarks upon tin criminal code , and adduced seme powerful arguments in favour of the abolition of capital punishment , aod concluded by making a spirited appeal to the electors and non-electors to uphold such menns as should be for the welfaro of the nation at large , and _reiterated tbe promise he gave at the commencement of bis address , to reply to any question that might be pnt to bim . Having ihankod the meeting for the patient manner , and deep attention with which they had listened to his address , be resumed bis s » at amidst loud anil contiuued applause .
Mr _M'Gbstb" replied tbat we were not likely to have a Chartist Government until we had Universal Suff . _ruge _, and that then both government and legislature would refloat tbe feelings of the whole people , instead of a section of them . A show of hands was taken In favour ol Mr M'Grath . None wero held up against him . A vote of thniiks was passed to the chairman by aecla . mntion , and after three cheers had been given for Mr MGrath and the Charter ,. the meeting ( which was a crowded one ) separated .
