Cross-esaEdaea by ilr . Ryfamd—The first time I was * ttt ^ X ** on the 5 th Jnly , but th& tceetiiijj lisd beea Aspersed . The presence ot the Military ~ -svirald give power to tie polios over the people . On the 6 th I dispersed a mob of about 300 or 400 . They "ware « nefly idle persons . I believe that np to the Kth I nerer mw a town more quiet , and 1 told the Mayor so « n the 15 th . There . 'srere flying reports about . Those reports ¦ were about colliers coming into the tovra- The Po&e -were not sent out on Mstoday ! the-loth ) . This * afl to avoid exciting the peojfte bytherr presence . The Mayor assigned that as a reason for sot having tbe police sent ont . ' The people-were in the iabit of sar-« wniing ray men , and on some occasions ' nsed harsh language towards them . On . Thursday , { thelltinwh . cn some of my men were cent back to London , the Mayor said that if the town continued trastnul , lie -b-cuIu aend . more off on Monday . That mode of drawing off the mea ^ froaa tb . e town met with my concurrence . On Monday , the Jdayor sent for me between tliree and
fonrjjrdock . Barney ( one of the Delegates of the CramsiiTon ) was esamined that morning . I heard waning to alarm me that evening , or ever in my life . Heard that it was " Saint Monday , " and . therefore , aa idle day with Qie generaBty of the working clashes . Captain 31 oatsom came to the pnblic ^ office and asked if any of the Magistrates were there , and said that all was perfectly quiet . JAr . Ttedfern willed on me to bring in . some of my men who were out , because the "people were assembling abort them . 1 ordered them ra . I heard nothing correctly abont the ' mob till eight o ' clock . I av >} t TVaiier , the Matistrate . at the jpnblie-ofSee . on the 15 th . I t&H . lum the police were ready to go onL I < lid n » t say anythiEg about the mpitsry . I might nave said , in conrersation with Mr . Walker , that 1 had orders not to go ent withoat the military . The reason I said so was beeanse Pr .

Ee ^ saznineU Mr . Clarie—1 was ready to go ont "withoat the-military . In the course of the evening there was some talk about crowds on the outskirts , but I placed no confidence in these nunonrs . The -attack npon the office was about half-past eight o ' clock . ByMrDunfias—I think the llayor left the Pnblic-¦« ffiee on ilonday the loth , between three and ' our o ' clock in the afternoon . During the previous week some of the magistrates generally remained till caifpast eleven at night I always made a report to them ¦ the last filing every night , previous to dismissing my men . The first magistrate I saw on the 15 th , aft * j tlie Mayor had left , was Mr . "Walker in tte oEte , and tiat was at about a quarter-past ifi ™ in the evajias- Be < Mx . rTatten sudb . e would write ?» r-the military .: j TecdYed an order from Mr . "Walker to go dot with my jnen . Me accompanied me . "W © were in the Bnll King before the mHitaiy . TYe cleared It Tlie military came as soon as It-conld be expected thev would from the
'time the order had been given ., They came very quietly . They shewed equal alacrity with my men . jco nn-n eoold behave better * 1 i » t » the military did . They were on duty all niriit and the next day ? At nine o'd « ci I was at the office . 1 dp not of myself know what the mob consisted ot Before the houses were-fired we could not -do anything against the mob .. Our force consisted of fifty men only , which was a trifling number to -oppose the rioters . "When we got" ont . the houses were on fire . This was about half-past nine . As a prudent persons , and well acquainted with Euchtransactjons , I am satisfied that I and my men could not have -dispersed the mob without a serious less of life on beth sides , and we should haTe done no good after all . There are six great streets leading into the Bull Ring , and my force never could liave oeeniaed them- "We caold cave defended Messrs . Bourne ' s , and dispersed -that portion of the mob , but then it would have bceu attended with loss of life on both sides . TVe wereiained ¦ with swords . TVe could haTe preserved : Me £ 3 rsTEourne '> s louse , but none of them above .
Biefcard -Harrison , one of the borough police , examined— This witness merely stated that between seven and eight o ' clock in fhp evening of the i- . t 3 i . Kr .

IVitnesB also stated the fact of the bellman going round the town , announcing the inttnqeil meeti ng at HoBoway Head , and the expectation tiat 3 Ir . Attwood would preide . This was between eleven and twelve o ' clock- in ths morning . "Witness told superintendent Caphuzst about the belln ^ iiL ' Allen Eewson was next examined .

Ths following evidence was then taken for THS DEFENCE OF THE ilAGIBTBACT . The first witness examined was—Mr . George Bedfem—^ Two thousand one hundred special constables were appointed between the 10 th of May and the 15 th of July . I 0 . 0 not know when Mr , nutton made his affidavit The special constables were divided into respective wards , and under different leaders . They nsed to attend the : Pnblic-office to receive instructions . The last Bull King meeting was on the 5 th or 6 th of July . Brown and Fussell were apprehended on the 17 th of May . The meetings did not cease after their arrest . They removed into another part of the town , and after a fortnight returned again into the Bull Ring .
Cross-examined by ilr . Clarke—After the sth of July the London Police were detained to prevent meetings in the Bull Ring . On the 8 th there was an attempt to nwet , but they were prevented by the military . There was a meeting of the magistrates on the Saturday , but I do notknovr that they discussed the intended meeting on Monday . " . ' By Mr . JDnndas—Do you know the habitations of the justices ? Witness—With the exception of Mr . Beilby , and I know pretty well where he lives . Five live within the parish of Birnunfhasn , namely , Mr . "Walker . Mr . Chance , Mr . G . Scholefield , Dr . Booth , aad Dr . Davies , By Mr . Clarke—When I went into the Bull Kin £ , the people were running away , evidently frightened at what they had done . 1 have no doubt , had ihepoKce acted before the fire , that there would bjiY » bean no dishirbance , ^* least no destruction of property . I think there sufficient

Some of TDJ neighbours felt ahuued , but I felt none , r went to the Pnblic-office to see a magifitrato , in order to communicite tothem what Ihadseen . Iexpected to undone there , but did not It was the duty of the sectional ler . dtrs of the speda ! constables to cotrniiunieato to the ward leaders any apprehended disturbances , and it was the duty of the ward lenders to commanicate the information obtained to the inagistratcs . Jidwird SaTa e—I live in Great Bull-Btreet . On the loth of July 1 left work at seven o ' ciock . I went to the meeting at HVlloway Head . Mr . Dundas—Oh : I think it my dnty to caution this man not to make any admissions which may" possibly compitmise hicKvlf .
r . \« Tmnntion xestcned— -I Trent between seven and eight . 1 Teaninwi tlierc abont ten minutes . There were present soiae thousands . The people left If olloway Mead in proct ^ sion . W hen they rgached Sniallbrook-sirtet , Henry " \ Yilkc 3 directed the peopla to go duwn Digbeth to the Warwick Road , in order to react Lovett unQ Collins . 1 came into the Bull Ring and stood ncur to > rcl 3 on s monument . Part of the mob caae into the Bull King , and " part went down Digbeth . 1 saw two of the ionuon police" attempt to apprehend a iuaa Ho was , however , rescued by the people , and went flown Digbeth . On hifl arrival at Cwup llill , he told thu mob what had happened , and added , that the London police were beating the people in the iSuil King . When the man told them that , some of the Jiitn said they would gu back and hammer ths police . They brole uown palings , and converted thtlll into ofiensive weapons . -
. » ir . Imnda £ —You are a shoemaker , are you not?—Witness—Yes , dr . 3 At . Dundas— -Go home , my good tihit ^ and attend to your trade . John Palmer—I am one of the police officers belong , ing lo Bini'lnaVum . On . the evening of the 1 Sth of July I met Mr . Robert Wtbb , the Magistrate , a little aTu-r feytn o"docl , ia Digbeth . He was coming towards the pnUic-cffice , because Mr . Taylor had infoined him that there was a disturbance in the Inkleys . I infanned him that it was all over . He iben asked me if there Wtr « any people in the Bull Ring . I replied there -were not . 2 Vlr . Webba « cordiBg ] y Tctumed home . 1 accompanied iiim as far as Bradfordstreet : By Mr . Clarke—He did not « ak me if any Magistrate was present at the public-office . I believe I told Mr . Webb that a meeting was about to be held at Hollowsy Head .
By Air . Gem—The meeting took place in the afternoon , tio the current report -was ; Mr . B . Taylor re-called—1 believe that the polke . if tie ^ nod turned out tarUer , could have prevented the destruction of property ; but I believe lives would bove beta lost on the part of the police as wen as Uie pubttc . Mr . Btinrne ^ s aou « e could hive been * protected . Mr . Phillips—1 live at the corner of High-street and NeTr-strtst . I am & special constable . There arc twelve S ' .-ctiond leaders connected , with the wad mJ which I aai tlie prisciinl On the 15 th I received m > intination of any apprehended riot -Had I seen anything of the kind I would certunly have ccimnunicatcd with the iUvor ^
By \* r . flarto—I am a member of the Town Council . 1 have witnessed many meetings in the Bull King , The extent of Tjy instructions was to oonvnmnlcate with the magistrates when any fiibtvirbiince was apprehended . 1 did not expect any riot on the 15 th . Cross-examined by Mr- Clarke—1 am a member of the Town Council , but have not attended the inquiry now going on under the auspices of that body . / I never had a communication fr * m the sectional leaders , except as regarded a row at ^ JavigatJon-strcct val' . e . There bad been numerous meetings of the CJl&rtistS , but 1 never received from sections ! leaders any coumunication upon the subject I have frequently seen meetings of l » et-ween 500 and 1 , 000 persons , tut diu notglve notice of them to the magistrates .
33 y y . r . Bunuas—Am I to understand , then , that as a . special constable , when you saw an assembly of 5 l ) O or 1 , 000 persons , yon did not consider it yi / Ur duty to communicate any inionnatioTi it the mapstrates ? Witness—~ So , certainly not Mi . Clarke liere rose , and said he was extremely anxious to make a statement withregurd to the conduct of the military . It had been supposed , by some of tists prooeedings ivhich occurred yesterday , thi . t the gentlemen whom "he . represented , intended to eu . t an imputation upon their conduct . lie btiitved he spoke the sentinu-Bta of the parties when he stated tLat ihe town of Birmingham was under the highest obligations' to
tne military for their efficient services on : iu cccusiaus when they were brought out They ntver ceuld display more effi > deitcy than during the recent riat The military were under the command of a jnest tlisUnguisbed officer , Colonel Thom , and also of another distinguished officer , Colonel Cliattcrtou , with whose conduct the public had the best reasons to be satisHcu . Jits was extremely anxious that tliis should be geiic-rally known , as from what he had nearf , it w . is supj- ' osc-d by some persons that the parties for-whom Ue i . t > pea . rcd had complained of il .-e military not beiaj in ? . state of readiness on the night the riot occurnxL Be begged to state that such a supposition was entirely contrary to the views entertaintd by them .
The wntten deixwitaon of Captain Moorsom was then put in by mutual consent , as it appeared tfcat thatgentlenian was compeljed to leave tovrn on urgent business . Mr . Clarke said they Lad a witness in attendance to contradict the evidence of Sr . yaj . e as to an . attempted arrest and rescue of apersen in 1 L 0 Bull-Ring by two of the London police , and which cirx . uicsta . nce was alleged as the cau . se of tlie dLstura&noe . The gentleman whom ho proposed to call , wrs present in the Bull King during the whole time , and would give Savage the most decided contradiction . The London polios , " for their vindication , were anxious the evidence EhoulJ be given .
Mr . Dunfbs—Ton are certainly entitled to call witnesses to-contradict stated Sorts , but in the present instance I do not think it necessary . Ajr . May has sworn , and also } lr . Re < ifern , that the police -vrere ¦ withdrawn from the Bull Ring a- considerable time before the disturbance occurred . As far as 1 can jndgefromjwhathas coiue out in evidence . thertisnogood charge against the London police for reniisaness or rashness , in the performance of their duties . They appear to me to have acted like sober-minded , steady men .
Mr . Clarke added , as he had mentioned the military , iLz . i so far from -rrisbing to cast acy censure upon ths London police , the gentlemen whom he represented felt tLat it would be an injustice to thai 1 > oJjif he did not . state , that tliey believed that uuring the tune tbey had boen in Birmingham they had conducted themselves wi th great firmness , forbearance , and geutral propriety . .

The ; magistrates then retired , and , after in absence of » bout a quarter of anHour , they returned , when—The Mayor saidi the only declaratiou I have to iriake on behalf of the magistrates is that , after mature consideration , they areperfectly willing to leave tie matter as it is , in the handi of the learned gentleman ; and I have to acknowledge on their parts the perfect impartiaUty , fairness , and kindness manifestedtoNvaitlB thoniagistrocy by the gentlemen engaged on behalf of the ; menibriaHsts . Perhaps I may alwajs be allowed to explain the reason why Colonel Thorn ' s name is not mentioned in connection with the disturbances onthe night of the 15 th . On arriving at the barracks I saw his orderly , who informed mo that he was confined at homewith a epnuned ahclc . That was the reason the colonel was not out during the evening .
Mr . Clarke said / on the part of the gentlemen with whom Tact , 1 beg to say that I entirely concur with the observations made by the Mayor . The conduct of the parties who have conducted the case in behalf of the magistrates has been to me perfectly satisfactory . Mr . 'Pundas—I ambappy to say I havo been much assisted .-by the gentlemen on both sides . The whole case , to my mind , has been conducted in an open , fair , andirant manner . . ^ Mr . Lawrence said tlrnt the cause of his absence on the night of the 15 O 1 was owing to Iub preBenco in Worcester as a grand jurynrau . Previous , however , to the 15 th , he .. was perfectly willing to take his share of the reBponsibility as to what they did do , and what they did net do .
Mr . Chance said that no one BOnt to him : indeed , he was aware of no riot in tho Bull Bing till the following morning . . ' ^ PryBirt D&yis said , in consequence of bis election to irWTOce of coroner , he wjis unwiUing ' to . take any part in any tumultuous assembly where blood was likely to be shed , and where . he might bo called upon toidt ' on an inqoisitibn over the'bosiy . . . ,: Wr .
