TO THE ELECTORS AND NON-ELECTORS OF THE WEST RIDING . FXLLOTT-CorKTRTMEX , —Another of those important times ¦ which giTes the wealth and intelligence of this great but distracted country &n oppsrtunity of choosing those men -who are to make the laws by which ire are to be governe-1 . appears to be upon the ere of taking place . It cannot be " necessary , in an address like the present , to impress upon the electors , a ^ d nonelectors , tho vast importance of the bteps -which those ¦ who have the franchise -will be called Upon to take in the event of a dissolution of Parliament takicg place at the present criiu ; for , we are informed , npon the authority of the Chancellor of the Exchequer , that the revenue of the oun try is deficient in this last t * -o or three vein to the amount of seven or tight millions ; that the taxes arising from all articles of consumption used by the working classes are fearfnlly decreasing ; that niiless seme mode of indirectly anjrmenting the
revenue cm be resorted to , he will be compelled to lay a direct tax npon property , or else , notwithstanding the glut of oar warehouses for wani of a market ; notwithstanding ths fierce" competition which is arising in every corner of the world to our manufactures ; notwithstanding our haying to labour nnder the burdw-n of an enormous taxation , rendered more onerous by the gross and comp licated monopolies which have arisen out-of this taxation ; that , notwithstanding all these complicated difficulties and disadvantages , he will be compelled to Uy a tax npon that " new power" which has been the foundation of all our commercial greatness , and which only , caa give us a chance of maintaining thatjreatnesi ; that , notwithstanding all these thiDgs , ¦ we are informed , by the Chancellor of the Exchequer , in his place iu Parliament , that without some indirect mode can be resorted to of augmenting the revenne , he lrOl be compelled to lay a direct tax upon property , or el « e to tax that " new power" the steam engine !
In addition to this , we are told by a first Secretary of State , that wa have arrived at a " commercial crisis ;" * h »* oar merchants and maua £ actarers are in the very " gulf of bankruptcy j ~ that oar -men of property are m ^ to get aay ' ** rents" Tor that property ; That our aSopseepers are " ruined ; " that oar " la > ourers are living seventeen in five yards square ; " that " the pa-rfn > brokers shops are filled with the furniture and dotbes ¦ of oar artisans ; " that " our manu acturici ; labourers have ealea those beds" npon which they ought to stretch those weary limbs which want renewing for the toils of a future day . Merciful heaven ! have we lived to see the day when a first Minister of State shall prove thia 4 o be the condition of the labourers of the " envy of iurrounding nations , and the adniiratien of the world V
Suchbeing proved to be the condition of this country , the question naturally arises what can be the cause of all this ? What can it be th ^ t has reduced us to this ? What can it be that has brought the " envy of surrounding nations " to the " gulf ef bankruptcy ? " What cause has been at work to have compelled the " admiration of the world" to live " seventeen in five yards square r What can have compelled th em to have " pawned their clothes , " and eaten their beds ? " The answer to this undoubtedly is to be found in the fact of the axis-tocracy having had possession entirely of the whole legislative power of the country ; by their ' having bad the power to fill the House of Commons with their own nominees .
Then , electors of the West Riding , will you net pause before you elect two scions of that aristocracy , which has cauied tbe labourers to " eat their beds" to fill ths House of Commons ? "Will you not pause before yon do that for them which you heaved heaven and earth to prevent them from doing for themselves ? Will you send men to the House of Commons , who are immediately interested in maintaining the ascendancy of that ariitocraiy which has brought our " merchants to the gulf of bankruptcy , " and our labourers "to eat their beds ? " If you do , you richly merit all that their system has brought you to ; but which ¦ w ill briutj you further than " the gulf of bankruptcy , " ysa , which will ytt make y « u like the labourers , glad to " eat your
bedg . X ^ g bjfcQ , ' perhaps , be told that these are exceptions , ths ^^ jfeeir bowels yearn with compassion for the poor ; " M& Sheir breasts are filled with tue milk of human kindsess , and that they will do more for you than yon could do for yourselves , and much more of the same kind . No doubt whatever they will promise enough , but as it chances we have the career of one of them before as . The man who is a " lord by the ' aecident cf his birth' has been before the public for the last half score years , and can you , . after the most mature consideration , lay yoor finger npon one single act , which had the least tendency to benefit the great mass of the population of this country ? In
fret , his wkole career has been ona of deeded hostility to everything like liberality of principle . It is true he twa < 5 tited in " huly-like Boft bastard latin" about the " rights cf humanity , " but what have been his actions ? "What was his Tote upon the . infamous Kew Poor Liw ^|^» Whj ^ in the bounty of his heart , to throw trpolrfikt ^ jga resources the man whe-m their accursed system . nsTieducsd to " pawn his clothes , " and "eat liis bed . " He ~ vot **< T for the Irish Coercion Bill ; he Totsd for "& « Bill which gives the bodies of the houseless poor to be dissected for the benefit of the rich . " BanghJ the th ' ng is » nk ; h smells to Heaven . ' "
Well , but about the other , my Lord Miltou ; at all events , you « annc' . have any objection ; he has never yet been tried ; he is yet >> a ; a yourg men , but of great promise from the House from which he has descended . " A plague on both yenr houses ! " Bat then , seriously , is I young , inexperienced man a proper person to entrutt with 'he destinies of a gra&t , but falling nation ? Where is hU talent and experience to come from , to enable him to grapp : e with our monstrous debt , and consequent taxation ? In what sthocl has he learnt all the compliciUd interests of our commercial system . '
Where is tnai knowledge to spring from vhicli is to enable him to fallow , in all its siiic- ^ -i' . ies , oar horrible system of paper money ; that thiug which is " strength in the beginning aad weakne ? 3 in the end ;" that system , which , along with its twin brother , deit and taxation , is grinding the eEirgsesofthe nio-it industrious people on the face of the earth to atoms ; and which has brought cur " mtrihants to the gulf of b \ nkruptey ; " SUed our pawr . broker ' s shops with ihe cloths of our artirms ; and caused our " nianuiieturicg laboTirers to eat their bwis . "
Bat , however , ire are gravely toid that he has no experience ; and though he has no experience , there , is his father the grr > at statesman . " not like Pitt : " now nu niore , " but now in " the House f Lords" to xsnder him assistance- Aid , are we to be made to believe that that house of aristocracy will either pro- pose itself , or send men to the House of Conimoas to proT > ose , anything inimi « ai to the interests of ihat aristocracy ?

SUPPOSED MURDER AT ARMLEY , NEAR LEEDS . On the nieht of Friday last , a little before twelve o ' clock , tbe body of a poor man was found extended on the tnrnpike near Coekshott Lane Bar , on the Leeds and Stanningley new road , quite dead , and with such marks of extreme violence upon his person save rise to great suspicion that he had been murdered . The persons who first made the discovery , Rd . Grayshon and Joseph G&unt , clothiers , of Pudsey , lost no time in conveying information to Mr . Goodson , constable , of Bramley , and by their exertions the body was removed to the Barley Mow Inn , Bramley , to await the result of the Coroner ' s inquisition .
In reviewing the whole case , as presented in the following detail of the evidence at the inquest , we are struck with the entire absence of aHy thing like a motiva by which to account for the commission of so serious a crime as murder—for that the poor fellow was murdered there exists we think no doubt , and murdered too in a manner as barbarous as it 13 rare in thi 3 neighbourhood . The name of thennforinnate deceased is Christopher Winder ; his place of residence was at Armley ; and we believe that for two or three years back he has been out of employment . The man accused of the murder is an Irishman , resident , a 3 wo understand , at Bradford , and ha 3 been known in the neighbourhood for two years back as an itinerant dealer in salt , tbongh we imagine not on his own account ; he 13 28 year 3 of age—the unfortunate deceased 53 .
The erent has caused quite an excitement as may be readily conceived both in Bramley and Armley where the deceased was well known . The inqu : ss was held on Monday last , before John Biapkburu , Esq ., at the bonse of Mr . Isaac Morley , the Barley Mow Ian , Bramley , before a highly respectable jury , who after having been sworn , proceeded to view the body , which presented a shocking spectacle . The following evideDce wns then gone into : — Samuel Winder—I live at Armley , and keep the Rese and Crown Inn . I knew the deceased ; he was a slubber ; he live *? , in Armley and was fifty-three years of age ; he was my uncle ; oa Friday last he was at luy house ; he came about two in the afternoon , and left
soon after seven . The prisoner , Thomas Milett , was there daring part of the time ; it might be about five o ' clock when he was there ; he had a cart and horse with him ; he remained for about four hours ; he was in the tap-room , and stayed there till about ten o ' clock ; his horse and cart were in an adjoining shed ; thedeceased was in the same room with him while he stayed . There were several other people in the room ; the conversition was gentral , —there was no quarrel . The prisoner had four pints of s . le ; he had a drab-coloured purse , and appeared to have about 16 s . in it ; that is as near as I can telL The deceased was rather the worse for beer , but walked away by himself . The prisoner was also the worse for liquor when he went ; ho had partaken of some besides the four pints he had himself .
Some boys were about his cart , and I desired two men who were there to sec him out of the town ; the names of these men are James Chaffers , and James Bucks ; they returned in about a quartsr of an hour . Milett came to our house again about ten minutes to one o ' clock on Saturday morning ; I was in the bar at the time along with my wife and her father ; he kicked at the door , and after some time I went acd asked who was there ? He said " D—n , you it is the salt man ; don't you know . " He wanted to stay all night , but I refused to let him in , and to'd him to go back to his horse and cart . I then returned to the bar , and the prisoner shortly aft erwards came in at the kitchen door , which was open ; he went into the tip-roora , put his oat on the table , and said he should stay all night ; he threw
down sixpence to pay for his lodgings , and afterwards siid if that w . * s not enough , he would give 2 i , or any thing else we liked ; I told him we could not permit him to stop , as his horse and cart were on the road , and might do mischief ; he said he must stop , as he dar ; not go on the road , for fear of being murdered . He then showed his right arm , which seemed scratched , and said he had had a scuffle with a man on the road ; he said he did not know the man that he had had a scuffie with ; ho di : i not « ay then he had been robbed ; when he came at five o ' clock and went away at ten he had a cap on ; and when he came back at one , he had on an old hat without a lining ; the hat now prodowd by Mr . James is the same ; the blue cap now produced by Goodson , the constable , is the one that & ilett had on the first time I saw him ; when be returned he had
his purse with him , and I saw money ia it , wbfifuilS ffered to pay for staying at my bouse att-tj ^ fot ; it was the same purse I had before seen . I turned , him out of our house in about ten minutes . The deceased wore a hat like the one which Milett had on when he came the second time to my h ' oose ; I have no doubt this is the same hat ; ifc is the same . Milett had a good deal of salt in his cart at ten o ' elock ; I had sot known him previously . My uncle had no money about him when he lefwny house . I did n >) t observe the state of MileU ' s dress the last t ni 3 he was at my house ; he was then quite sober ; and seemed agitated . If he was going to Bradford , he wouM pas 3 through Cockshottlaae Bit . The prisoner had been tossing for ale , when he was first in my hoa&e , and ! o 3 l altogether 7 s . ; the deceased did not partake of any part of th ' s .
Wm . Binns —1 keep C- 'ckihott-laue Toll bir ; it is in tbe township cf Bramley . I know the prisoner ; he has frequently passed throigh my gate during the last i-x-o yt-ara . He passed n : y gate at twenty minutes past ten o ' clock on Friday night last ; he had his horse and cut with him ; hs aiked if we wanted any salt ; we did nut get any , and ha paid me 4 ^; i . for toll , and went away ; he was going towards liramley ; the body of deceased wad found about two hundred yards from my tnute . I Went to bed in about a quarter of an hour
ifier the prisoner hid passed through ; I was . not oet of the door after he hid gon ^ ; 1 did not see any more of Milttt that night Ko other vehicle passed through the gate till between twelve and one o ' clock , when Mr . Lumley , of Bramley , passed throuch on his road from Leeds . 1 beard no qaarreiin ;;; if anybody haJ knocked at my door I should have h ? a d them . Milett ¦ sras rather intoxicated when I siw him ; and when I refused to buy his Bait , he ma < : u use of some abusive lr . a ^ oa ^ e , and showed fight , but -w . V . ked cleverly away , the cart zoine on a little before him .
Thomas Spiers . —I am a policeman at Leeds . I have measured the distance from Cucksh . tt-laue Bar to the p ' . ace where the b-- « : y of the deceased was found , and it is 2 iG yards . The width cf the roai where the body was found , between the stone heaps , is eleven feet four iuchts . Tho distance betwvtn ti ; e R ; ss and Crown in Armley and the place -where the body was found is about a miie , and the distance from the place where the fco- ' : y was found to the Fleece Inn at Bromley , en the Kiir . e road , is 1044 yards . It is Go yanl 3 from the p-iicc whtre the body was found to Holun-s ' s-lane-end , ami ISO jards from Hoimes ' s-lace-end to Cv > ckshottlan& B-ir .
Frirxis Stott—1 am a publican , and keep the Fleecs inn , en ths turnpike-road side leading from Lee is to Staniiingiey . I tnew the decease !; he was at my house at near niae o ' c ' . cck on Friday night last ; he was sober ; he came cp with a man who bad a horse ; they had a pint of ale a-puce , and the man with the horse then went away to Pudsty ; that would be about half-past r . iae ; Winder stayed nearly half an hour longer , a man who was in ihe house having paid for another gill of ale for him ; he did cot setm to ail anything for liquor . Deceased , when he left my hou-. e , t'orned on the road to Armley ; I saw him at the distance of nearly 100 yaria ou the roa-l ; he had a hit on and a blue smock . It was then about ttn o ' clock , and I saw no other person on the road .
Richard Gnyshon . —I live at Pudsey ; I am a clothier . I did not know the deceased . On Friday night last , I had bi-en at Leeds , ia company with Joseph Gaunt , which place we left at about nine o ' clock ; we had a horse and cart ; wo came by "W ortley Moor , over Armley Hill Top , and down Miss Holrces ' s Lane , on to the new roid ; we came that road to miss the two bars ; I was driving , and when wo got- about thirty yards past the place where the deceased was laid , g-iu £ t _ said there was a man laid on the road . We pulled up , got curof the-cart , and . we . nt back ; I found the man was dead ; the cart weighs 5 j cwt . ; I felt no shock as if we bad run over anything ; the head of the man was near the nu , on the north sida of the road , with his feet in a slanting direction acros 3
the raid . He had no hat on ; Ls was laid on his back ; hs did not move ; ho appeared to be qnite dead ; his chin appeared to be ir . jured ; I did not observe that he was bleeding . There were several stones ab * ut his head and shoulders . "We did not stop above a minute ; bat went to G- > od = on , the constable , who directly went back with us to the body . It might be between half-past eleven and twelve o ' clock ; en returning to the body , it was in the same position in which we left it I took hold of his right hard ; it was quite cold ; blooi was running out of the ears . We should be about a quarter of an hour between leaving the body and returning to it There were several stones that were blnody laid around the body ; one of them migl » t be about four pounds
weight , and had a sharp edge . [ Several stones were produced , clotted with blood and hair . ] One of these 1 pointing it out ) is like the one hud next to his ear . I did not notice that there was a stone underneath his head . There were other stones on both sides of the roud ; we then removed the body to the Barley Mow Inn . I . cannot S 3 y whether we went over the body or not with our cart ; if we did , it must have been the lower part of the body ; I felt no motion of having gone over anything . If we had gone over his head , we must , of necessity have gon * over some of these large stones . I think it would not be possible for us to
hare gone over his kead and the stones without our knowing it , and I am quite sure I felt no such motion . The head of the deceased , which was laid on our right hand side , was a little distance from , the rat—probably a foot , and his legs were across the other rut I did not Baa any blood in th « rut oa the right hand side ; our horse neither stumbled nor shied at any thing . I do not think it possible that we could have passed him without going over some part of his body , but I cannot thins : we touched his head . We could not have gone over his head , and tbe stones , and all , without knowing it ; the stones were laid on both sides of his head .
Joseph Gaunt , a clothier at Pudsey , who was with the last witness in the cart , gave nearly the same version of the story as the above—there was no material difference in their statements .

Mr . T . P . Teale—I am a surgeon in Leeds ; I first saw the body of the deceased on Saturday morning ; I then examined it extern ailx , ; . I <» w a large wound near the chin ; the face and bands were bloody . I made a post mortein . examinatlon on Sunday . I found marks of contusion on the front and back part of boih arms , on the back of the right shoulder , and the back of the left thigh . In front of th © throat were eight or ten braises of small size ; one contusion was extensive over the upper part of the chest ; the left eye was violently contused , and along tie lower edge of the lower jaw , was a contused wound four inches long , exposing the lower jaw-bone , which was ( shattered into numerous small fragments ; the muscles beneath the jaw were extensively torn and much discoloured by extravasated blood ;
the whole of the Boalp at the back part of the head , from one ear to the other , and the skin of Ihe neck , exhibited one mass of contusion , and there was much coagulated black blood beneath the skin of these parts . Across the back of the bead , in the contused part , there was a wound , or two wounds nearly united , four inches in extent , exposing the skull , which was rough at this part- Along the line of this wtund , the hair was partially destroyed . There was a smaller wound behind the left ear , and an extensive abrasion behind the right ear . Both ears were extensively lacerated . On removing the skin at the back part of the neck , the muscles were found leaded with black coagulated blood ; on opening the skull bhek blood wa « seen effused within the membranes of the brain ; the v essels of the
brain were intensely Ioid 6 d with blood ; and the brain ' il self was lacerated , and blood extravasated in its substance ; the base of the skuli prestnted an extensive fracture ; the sknll was thin , below the average ia that respect . There were some marks of the disease , but not to be * r on the present case . I hava examined three stones , partially covered with blood , and hair , about an inch long , was found adhering to them ; this resembled the hair of the deceased . I examined the road , on Saturday morning , and saw a , dark place , which appeared to present a copious effusion of blood ; this was in the north wheel-mark , or rut ; the immediate causa of death has been the fracture of the ekull , and accompanying in jury to the braia ; it must have required great violence to have produced these
injuries . I do not think that atones thrown , or a man being beat with such stones as those now produced would cause the extensive injury . I do not deny tLe possibility , butvloubt it txcesdingly . Such injuries I should aay , havo been produced by some powerfully compressing cause . A cart running over it would be likely to produce these injuries . They are in a direct continuous line from front to back , and must have been produced at one and the sanio time . Tbe violence must have been applied to the jaw , and the same violence bad produced the- injury to the base of the skull , and the back of the head . Tho more extensive injuries , which have caused death , I do not think have been produced by personal violence ; I do not deny the possibility , but 1 think it improbable that they could -have been so produced . The left eye appeared to have bad severe blows ; as well as the aims and chest ; nnder the blow on the chest was a great deal of extravasated blood ; there were numerous small
contusions on the throat , indicative of personal violence by the hand . There were severe contusions on the back of the left thigh , but no marks of violence on the legs . All these injuries must have required considerable personal violence , and would have been sufficient to produce insensibility , and from the concussion thus produc * d the man might have died , and probably also might have recovered ; tho fact of his being Itft out all night , exposed to the cold , would have a tendency to accelerate death . Had tho deceased been thrown dowa violently on a stone , it is possible his skull might have been fractured ; but I thick the continuous injuries from the jaw to the back of the head could not have been produced by being thrown down . The throwing of these stones , or boating with them , would be likely to produce the injurjts on the other parts of the body . Tho serious injuries must have been produced before death ; the party may have been in a state of insensibility at the time they were ii ; fl < cted , but certainly not dead .
Joseph Goodsoa—I am constable of Bramley . I was called up on the night of Friday last , about a quarter to twelve . o ' clock , by two men who said they had found a horse and « art , in front of my house ; I got up and took charge of them ; the horse and cart were taken into my back yard ; the cart contained a quantity of salt and some scales and weights . The name on tbe cart was ¦ Owen Cofield , salt dealer , Bradford . " WhUat I was busy with the horse , two men , Grayshon and Gaunt , came and said they had found a man dead in the road , and wished me to go with them . I went , and found the deceased , Christopher Winder , laid about StO yafds from Cockahotfr-iane Bar . Deceased was laid on his back , with his head not in the rut , but where a horse would tread , and his legs transversely across oh
the other side of the road / 'ho bad neither bat nor cap on ; the face was v ^ ry bloody ; I felt at both the hands and face ; they were quite cold . I noticed a great many stones about ; they weTe laid about his head and shoulders ; the stones I now produce ; there are 20 of them ; many , of them were spotted with blood ; the weight of the stones together is 1061 bs ., the heaviest beinj llilbs ., and tho lightest lAlbs . I removed the body and stones in a cart to " the Barley Mow . At th » e # , o ' clock in tho morning , I went to the place agafrt tv . sad found tho cap no < r produced laid on the stones opposite where tlic body was laid ; a small key and a pencil I found where the body had been . I then went to the bar , and called the barman up ; he said he had heard nothing ; we went togtther to the place ; and as we were going , we found on ono side of tbe rood a bundle containing some
bread and tw » handkeicliitfs -, a little further on and near the bundle I found a note of -which the following is a copy : — " Kubing Harrison states that kit Winder never paid my wages , nor never defriaded im of any tiling to the best of my nokge . iiuben Harriaoa , Juno 3 , 1841 . " I examined tLe dress of the dece-ased ; his right side waistcoat pocket was turned inside out ; his smock was Bligluly torn ; he bad no handkerchief on that I noticed . Some parts of his clothes were bloody , and covered with dust , as if he had struggled violently . Ihe bundle and note were about 130 yards from where the body was laid . I have fitted the key to a box , belonging to the deceased , at the housa of his sister ; it fits easily . Many of the stoaes touched the bedy of the deceased , —none were inors than half a yard from him . Grayshon and Gauut were quite sober .
Samuel Winder recalled—Identified the handkerchiefs and pencil produced as the property of his undo , the deceased . Mr . B-jnjamin Wilson , wine merchant , Bramley , deposed to finding tba horse and cart , on Friday night , in a lane between the new road and Bramluy town street The cart contained salt . The horse » nd cart were delivered to Gjodsun . There was no person with tbe horse and cart The horse and cart were Identified as those which Milett bad in hi 3 possession on Friday .
George Avfjard— I am a tollbar keeper at Stannir . gley ; the prisoner , MileU , was at my gate on Saturday morning , at a quarter past three o ' clock ; I was standing on t :: e road and saw him come on the new road in the direction from Bremley . He asked if I had sewi anything cf his horse and cart , as he had lost them . I said " how , where , and when have you lost them ? " He said " I puk up my horse at a public house by the roadside in Bramley last night , whilst I got something to eat ; but in s-jtting out about uusk , some fellows followed and attempted to rob me , when I lost my horse and cart . " I asked him if he had been drunk , and be siid h 9 was rather fresh . He went into the houss to light hia pipe , and there said he had been robbed of all his money exceptsix pence ; he said they had got five and twenty shillings from him . lie said if I saw his horse and cart 1 was to take care of it . Ho looked dirty , as if ho had been out all night . The prisoner bad a hat on .
John Ward—I keep CAlverley-Moor toll-bar ; I know the prisoner , and have done so forab « ut nine months ; ho passed thrcugh my bar on Friday morning I saw him again on Saturday morning , absut half-past four . He came up and risked if his horse and cart had gone through . I told him it had not ; and he said if it came I was to let it pass , tpul he Would pay when he caiaeag » in . Hesaid he hiKl >> eing geiting drunk , and some persons wanted to rob him , as they saw that he had money .

He then went towards Bradford . He had a hat on at that time , and a cap when he passed through on Friday morning ; hia clothes were dusty .

One of them , I think the man who was on his knees said , " Gentlemen , will you help me to make this man be quiet ?

On Saturday morning I was sent up to Bramley to make inquiries as to Winder ' s death ; in consequence of information , I went to Bradford , and when I got to Bradford-moor , I overtook James Winder aid David Roberts , constables , and Milett ' s wife ; we then went towards Bradford , and shortly afterwards I apprehended Thomas Milett , the person now in custody . I charged him with , killing a man the sight before at Bramley . He said he knew nothing at all about it saw his right trousers' knet was stained , with blood
and I asked him how it came to be so ; he said he had been fighting , and cut his knee . I examined his trousers inside , and also his knee , and found that the blood was on tho cutside only , his knee not being cut , but slightly grsaed , which had not bled . I found his waistcoat and one of the wristbands of his shirt stained with blood ; tbe other wristband appeared to have been torn off He said the ** » taina had been caused by a man who stopped him on the road , and robbed him of two and twenty shillings , and who was going to murder him , so he did the best he could for himself , as he saw he must either kill or be killed ; and when be got tbe man down be ran away a »

fast as he could , tmd left the man laid on the tround . He stated tha * then he went to the public-bouse , and told the landlord he had been robbed . The man , be said , was not going the same way that he was , for he met him , and the man , aelz . nl hold of him first ' by the back of the neck , knocked his heels up , and robbed him of his money . Frbtner was then taken into the stable , where Winder ' s body was laid , where asked him " if that was the man who bad robbed him ?" He said it was ; and also in reply to another question , aid the doth cap laid by the body of deceased was bis ; the bat he bad on he said he had got at home He stated that after the affair was over , he went back to the public-house , and told the landlord he had been
robbed ; he afterwards went under the shed , and slept till daylight , after which he went home , and sent bis wife to look for bis cart The prisoner told me the cart belonged to Owen Cofield , salt-dealer , Bradford . After telliDg him that the hat he wore was owned by Winder ' s Mends , he sgain repeated that he bad got it at home . James Winder , in my presence , asked him how he accounted for so mauy stones being laid so near the bead of the deceased . Milett said he threw them at him after he was down , for he knew ho could only die once , and ho might as well die for that , as be killed on tbe road . I warned Milett repeatedly that what he said might be given against him , but he persisted in talking .
This being the whole of the evidence , Milett was asked , after being cautioned by the Coroner , if he wished to make any statement . All he ssid was , that be went back to the public-house , where the landlord would not kt him stop , and he then went into the shed , and full asleep . Ho said be knew nothing of what those men bad been talking about . It being now near ten o ' clock , the further proceedings were adjourned till next day .
ADJOURNED INQWESr . The inquest on the body of the unfortunate man was resumed on Tuesday evening , at five o ' clock , at the Barley Mow Ins . The concourse of persons assembled was immense , all eager to gain a glimpse of the prisoner , as he was driven up from Leeds . The namea of the jury having been called over , the Coroner enquired if any additional evidence would be offered . A man , named John Harrison , of Bramley , was called ; his statement went merely to show that he had bad a conversation with the prisoner after bis apprehension , in which he mode some admissions as to the time which tbe affray with the deceased occupied .
A woman , named Ann Stead , also of Bramley , offered some statements , to the effect tkat , on the night of the murder , she was on the road , near Holmes'a Lane End , at near eleven o ' clock , when sbe beard a . noise as of two men quarrelling proceeding from the place where the body of the deceased was found . She saw nobody , consequently could not say whether the prisoner was one of the men or not Neither of these statements were taken down , tbe jury not thinking them at all important The Coroner then proceeded to sum up the evidence , and directed . the . attention of the Jury to the two points for their consideration—whether death had ensued from violence or from accident ; and if from violence , whether offered by the prisoner or some other
person . He went carefully through the evidence , dwelling upon such parts as bore most strongly upon the case , whether for or against the prisoner ; remarking more particularly upon the statements of Mr . Teale , the burgeon , with whose evidence he did not coincide iu every particular . With regard to the law , as bearing upon the case , he observed , that if a man assault another with intent to do him bodily harm tand tho intent must be gathered from the extent of the violence ) , and death ensued , that would be murder , provided the act were of such a nature as plainly , and in the ordinary course of events , must put the life of the party in danger . After describing the violence which in this case had been used , ho said he could not help thinking that it was of such a nature as piainly , and in the ordinary course of events , to put tho life of the deceased in danger . The injuries were sufficient to produce Insensibility ; and therefore if a cart wheel went over the deceased , when iu a
state of exhaustion , debility , or insensibility , arising from the personal violence , and if the injuries thereby received were the immediate cause of death , yet the personal violence which produced the exhaustion , debility , or insensibility , was ef such a nature an to put tho life-of the deceased in imminent danger , —in the language of the surgeon , if he had been left in that . state without further injury , death might have ensued ; and therefore if the deceased was left in a state of exhaustion , debility , or insensibility , by reason of the personal violence offered to him by the prisoner , or any other person , which rendered him unable to walk , or to remove himself from the road to a place of greater safety , the party committing the violence and leaving the deceased thus exposed , would betray s ^ ch absolute recklessness and utter indifference about the life of the deceased , as to render him guilty of murder , for the law knew * m difference between tho guilt of such a case and that of an intention to destroy .
The jury then retired , and after consulting together for two hours , returned a Terdiot of WILFUL MURDER against Thomas Milett Tiie prisoner was llwn committed by tbe Coroner to York Castle , to take bis trial for the offence at the enduing ass- z : s .

PUBLIC MEETING IN THE SQUARE , SHEFFIELD . ( A bridged from Ihe Sheffield Mercury . ) During the latter part of last week , a number of bills were posted in the town , stating that the treacherous faction—the pretended anti-Monopolists and Corn Law repealers—having held a meeting ot their own menial dependents , and falsely called it a public meeting , tho inhabitants of Sheffield were respectfully invited to attend a public meeting to tako into consideration thia proposition ; whether the . proposed alteration in the Corn Laws and sugar duties would improve the condition of the working classes , or whether they should liot go for their r . atural and indisputable right , Universal Suffrage . The placard further announced , that the Master
Cutler having been waited upon , and he having declined to call such meeting , tho requiiitionists thereby convened ene themselves , to be holden iu Paradise-square , on tho foreuoou of Whit-Monday , at ' half-past ten o ' clock . This announcement caused some consternation among the Whigs ; for those wise men of Gotham , after divers grave and profound deliberations , issued the following very magniloquent address , the italics in winch , however , we f-iiould premise are our own : — " No Monopoly ! Men of Shtffield , last week you made an emphatic declaration against the monopolies which tax your food and ruin your trade . You petitioned our young and lovely Queen to stand by you against the monopolists : and she has heard your prayer .. You are
ealied upon by tho treacherous men who hand over the people of Nottingham to the monopolists , to let them play tho same game with you . Men of Sheffield ! mus er in Paradise-square , at half-past ten o ' clock , on Monday morning , and show tho monopolists that , neither by them nor their tools , will you bo deluded . Attend , and maintain your consistency as honest and thinking mon ! Show your country , —show your wives , —show your children , — without compromising any right to which you deom yourselves entitled , —that you will have food , —that you wiil not be diverted from the mighty contest , in which you are sure to succeed , against tho plundering and famine-creating monopolies P—The above choice morceauK of Whiggery having made ita appearance , the Chartists retorted in no very , gentle terms , by issuing another placard , in which
they asked the men of Sheffield it they were prepared to place any reliance upon the " baso ami treacherous Whigs , " with iheir novy-born cry of " No Nonopoly , " the offspring of despair , and brought forward to support in ofiiee a base Ministry , who awe never attempted any measure for the go ^ d of the people , -but whose cole object had baen to-ehricta their hungry tools , by robbing the poor man ' of his hard earned wages . By the hour of meeting , on Monday morning , a very large concourse of persons had assembled in the square . Upon the steps oi the Freemason ' s Lodge . ' were * stationed the leaders of the Chartists , and also a number of the leading Whigs . As , however , it was found that the steps were inconveniently crowded , the Whig party quitted the steps and took up a position upon a waggon which immediately adjoined the steps upon the left .
Mr . Otlsy proposed , that Mr . Parkos , a working man , should tako the chair , on which , Mr . Bramley proposed Mr . William Fisher aa chairman , and a scene of uproar and confusion then ensued , which it is altogether out of the power of words to describe , cheers and hisses , and hootings , being harmoniously blended . Mr . Bkamlet and Mr . GtLet attempted to apeak , on which they were both assailed by the hootings oi their respective opponents , which were endeavoured to be drowned by the cheers of their friends . Tianquillity having in some degree been restored , the question was put to the meeting , and the shew Of hands was declared by Mr . Oiley to be in favour of Mr . Parkes ; the Whigs inaintaiuing the contrary very stoutly . After a good deal of dia puting , tho question was put afresh , and Mr . Otley again asserted that the show of hands was m favour of the-chairman whom he had nominated . The
disturbance then recommenced and continued for a considerable ¦ time , the Whigs and tfee Chartists alternately hooting , groaning , and cheering , as the friends of either partf attempted to address the assembly . In / the midst of the turmoil Mr . Parkes and hia friends sMHrauously asserted his right to the chair , and the other party as strenuously resisted it . About twelve o ' clock as it was found impossible to proceed with the business of the day , same attempts to bring about a compromise were made , the Whigs , as we understand , proposing that thero should be two chairmen , and that an umpire should be a ppointed to settle any dispute that might arise between them . This propoaition howevor fell to the ground , and the noisy strife before described vraskept up for some time longer . Towards halfpast twelve o ' clock , Mr . G 111 came forward to move the fmt resolution , and he had not uttered more than a few sentences , when he was assailed by the hcotings of the Whig party , which his Mends

endeavoured to overcome by their hearty cheers . The uproar tha 3 created prevented the speaker from being heard . Ho made several attempts to proceed , but without aucoess , and lie at last , seeing the hopelessness of all attempts to gain a deliberate hearing , brought his remarks to an abrupt conclusion , by proposing the following resolution : — " That thi present measure of relief proposed by the Whiga is an insult to the toilworn and suffering millions of this country , and proves that they have no desire to do justice to the people . They have also proved , by eight years' heartless profligacy and misrulo that their most solemn promises and professions are not to be regarded , and that they are unworthy of the people ' s confidence . That although the Corn Laws are unjust and oppressive , yet the present House of Commons feeing inimical to the' - people ' s . rights , will not repeal the same except through an agitation bordering on revolution . "
Mr . Marsh having seconded the resolution , Mr . Pahkes asked if the party on the waggon had py amendment to propose , and he was answered by being told that they did not recogniso him as chairman . He proceoded to put the resolution to tho meeting , when the uproar , which had been some what allayed , was renewed , and kept up for some timo . # Mr . Fisher then got up , and , as he said , he merely wished to epeak to a point of order , a hearing was obtained for him , through the exortionsof the party on the steps , and those in the waggon . Silence having been restored , Mr . Fisher said , ' that though ha retired peaceably from that meeting , yet , he did noi do so from any cowardly motive , for he did not fear one party or another , having nover inflicted an injury upon any man . He came there with his friends , at the request of a number of working classes , to advocate * their interests . He thought that what was tho interest of tho workmen wa 3 the
interest of the master , and that the interests of tho two were inseparably connected . Ho had heon a workman himself , and as poor as any man in that meeting , and therefore he could sympathise with tho workiD ^ classes . After exhorting both parties to lay aside all party feeling , and to endeavour to promote the common welfare , Mr . Fisher left the waggon amid the loud cheera of his friends , Mr . F . having been heard with the greatest attention , the Chairman said a specimen had been given of the manner in which he and las frieuds would treat their opponents . He hoped from that time forward , they would be ablo to conduct their future proceedings in peace-and harmony , and that they should endeavour to come to a calm and dispassionate conclusion upon tho question before them .
Mr . Ibbotson said he had guessed some such resolution would be brought forward , and , therefore , he had come prepared , with an amendment upon it . He then went on to laud himself asi an advocate of free trade , and all other good things , for a long time . After he told the meeting that he had been shown , by some Tories , some letters from the Chartist loaders , acknowledging the receipt of money week after week —( cheers , confusion , and cries of "Its a lie , " " Names . ") He was sure the majority of the meeting who knew him would give him credit when ha afhrmed that what he stated was the truth . ( No , no , and ye 3 . ) He would not state names ; but he was ready to make oath that he read the letters . He would do this , and leave auy explanation to the Tories . Mr . Ibbotson concluded by moving the following amendment to the resolution : —
That it is clearly shown that the abolition of the monopolies , especially in corn and sugar , and a revision of the import duties generally , would greatly improve the circumstances of the people ; that without opposing the extension of the franchise , or the advocacy of their political claims by any portion of our countrymen , we are of opinion that the men who would weaken our efforts to abolish monopolies are the abettors of the monopolists , and are not the real friends of the extension political right 3 and of the welfare and happiness of the people . "
Mr . BfchsoN seconded the amendment , observing that he would not adopt the course followed by Mr . Gill , but would state at length the reasons why he seconded tho proposition . ' Mr . Gill hero indignantly observed that it was the party with whom Mr . Benson was connected who had prevented him from going into the question at . length . He was perfectly ready to state fully hia reasons for su pporting the resolution , and to disprove tho slander of Mr . Ibbotson . He had never received a penny from either the acourscd Whig or Tory factions , and never would do .
Mr . Benson said , that as Mr . Gill , and some of the supporters would have to address the meeting , in support of the original motion , he would . simply then second the resolution , and -reserve what he had got to say to a lator period of the meeting . Mr . Baiestow , the Chartist iecturor said , he appeared before the assembly to support not only tbo rights of those present , but tha rights of the working millions throughout the country . . A statement had been made with the view of prejudicing the minds of the meeetina , against the iJhariUt . loaders on tliat . occasion . Ha ueclarSa that he had never received anything either from tho Tories or any other party . Ho was employed by tho working men , and by them he was paid . The question with
them then was , whether the abolition of tho Corn Law or Universal Suffrage should be the grand object of the working classes to attain . He complained that those who . now opposed monopoly had a monopoly of the suffrage . Who . was it who passed the Corn Laws ? . ( " Tories . " ) But how was this ] The Tories passed that law assisted by the Whigs , at the point of the bayonet . Tho Whigs , he contendtd , would never repeal that law . The Sun newspaper had declared that , the Whiga would never repeal that law , and ho considered that a sufficient authority . Lord John Russell ha 4 proposed a fixed duty of 8 a . per qiarter on Corn , aiid to shew the effect of that proposition lie would refer to the last three years . ( Hear , hear . ) The importation of
corn during that period had amounted to 9 400 , 000 quarters , and the duty paid upon it was £ l , b'pu * 000 but if Lord John Kussell ' s fixed duty of 8 $ . had been levied upon every quarter of grain imported into this country , that duty would have amounted to £ 2 , 400 , 000 . Thia was shown by the returns supplied to tne Houss of Conimous . What ( he asked ) had induced the Whig Ministry to come forward at the present time , now that they were struggling in the agonies of political death . Tho answer was this : they felt confident that they had abused the trust reposed in them—they felt confident that they had not performed their promises to the peoplethat they had made the agitation on the question of the lleform Bill subservient to their own
interests—they were fully conscious that up to the present time they had resisted any repeal of the Corn Laws—for when the Anti-Corn Law deputation waited upon Lord Melbourne , at the commencement of the last session , he then stated that he deemed the repeal of the Cora Laws one of the maddest projects that ever entered into the imagination of man . What a chamelion , then , mu , t Lord Melbourne be , to advocate the repeal of the Corn Laws at the present moment . He contended that the Whigs would never repeal the present Corn Laws , and that pledges and promises were the staple material in which the Whigs always deal . Cheap bread and free trade were the arguments of those who wished to lower wages . Who but the Whigs had been the means of establishing rival
manufactories through tho whole of Continental EuropeJ They it was who had allowed the exports of machinery . Mr . Gregg , tho Member for Manchester , had established manufactories in Belgium , and on other parts of the Continent , for the purpose of beating down English labour at home . Yet these were the men who were bawling to the people to come forward and stick by the Whigs , and . keep the Ministerial traitors in office for another session . If the Whi ^ s w ere ( . as they professed to Joe ) the friends of cl \ eai > -i ) read and high wages , why did they keep the working classes from being represented in the House of Commons , and thereby giving them , the means of protecting their labour ! Every interest except that of labour was
represented in the House of Commons ; asd ^ ie contended , therefore , that the Charter was the only means of remedying the evils under which the Vorking classes at present suffer ( Cries of ¦ ** What did you do at Nottingham I" ) He would answer that question . The ChartUts possessed tho balance of power between the Whig and Tory , factions . They were on the eve of a general election , and it was not the intention of his friends to bring forward Chartist candidates . H « detested both the Whiga and Tory factious aa heartily as any man then present did ; but at Nottingham he acted on the principle of Judas Iscariot , who was by the Creator made the means of crucifying Jesus Christ , that the world might be saved . Both the Whig and Tory parties
being now so nearly balanced , neither party could succeed without Chartist co-pcration . At Nottingham they asked the Whigs if they would support the Chartists —( hear , hear)—and on their replying in the negative , the Chartists wont over to tho Tories , and they did so on this principle . At present the Chartists had two parties of obstructives to contend with in obtaining the Charter ; and if they gave their balance of power in favour of the Tories at a . general election , the Whigs must walk out , and the Tories must walk in . They would then have only one party to contend with instead of two . Consequently , his advico to the Chartists in Sheffield waayin the event of a general election , to support tho Tories"i He contended that Lord John KusmII was as much of a Tory as the Duke of Wellington ;
aud ought to range himself on the same side . Did not Xord Joint Russell state that the Reform Bill wasr a final measure ! When the Whigs were out of office they were rebels , and when they were in office tHey were tyrants . What did they give to the people of Ireland ? The Coercion Bill , whioh led O'Connell to style thema "base , brutal , and bloody faction . " Another of their measures was the New Poor Law . It-was true the measure was supported fey some of the Tories , but it was brought forward aud carried by the Whigs . He recommended the working men of England to stand by their order , as Earl Grey declared he would staud by his . The Wliigs had stuck by their order , aud he recommended
