We regret , however , to learn that three of your Majesty's Bufvjeots have been reoentiy ebnvioted unJer an old act of ParJiament , which appear * to have escaped the eye of the legislature in iU revision « nd repeal of barbarous enactment *; we cannet help believing , that bad those cri » ei been f # nnd upon the calendar of a general Milw , and not

      treated as political offences , they would have be « a more mildly construed , and the puai « hmeat , even ofter conviction , would sot bare amounted to a p acrifica of life .

      APPREHENSION AND COMMITTAL OF THOMPSON , THE GUN-MAKER OF BIRMINGHAM . The evidence girrn before the magistrates at Stockport and Aahton-uuder-Lyne having shown that the fire arns s-ld in those towa « had hern supplied by a hir . Thompson , cf Birmingham , it was thought ad viable by th * Stoskport in&giatrni .- > 9 that he should b- > appr-hended . Accordingly , Mr . Sadler , the superintendent of police of that borough wentio Birmingham for th ? purpotw on VV " ifdne * iay l a ^ t , and m <* t with the prisoner near bis owu r « - rideace , which is situatrd in Whittle-street , St . NUry ' s Gate , Birmingham . He w& » t up to him , aud told him he came from Stockporf , and shook

      hands with him , And then told him he had n warrant against him fo » having arm » in hia posse « Mon for illegal purposed , and chariied him with supplying Mitchell , of Stockport , and Hijiginc , of Ashtou , with arras for illegal yurpoie . s . He said he had supplied them with Arm * , but it was in a tradesmanliko manner , and that be hud ao connection with thai as Charti-t < . Mr . Sadler requested him to accompany him to his ( prisoner ' s ) house . He did so . and then demanded to see l > i » authority lor his approhwusioc . Mr . S . produced the warrant , and tb » D naked tho prisoner if he had any paper * in his posum ^ ioa ; and those produced were gif «» n to him by tb- > prisoner « nd his wife . The prisoner said , that he never know for what purpose the arm * were required , but on oae occasion , and that waa in Ashton , when some men c '» me in his shop , and began to shoulder

      their muskets ' , he immediately told them to drsist , that they should not do so on his premises . The letter now produced he found at the residence cf the prisoner , at Birmingham . [ It appeared to be a letter from Timothy HigginH , informing him that the police had broken into bia bouse , tak- n the turns , and charged him with having them in Lin poiwBsion for unlawful purposes , and stated that he hid bet-n app . * e »> ended ana taken before th «» magi *' tratPf , and bailed out to appear to take his trial . ] Acother ht'er wat also prcKlncecl whica had beeu found in tha residence of the prisoner ; it was directed to Thompson , and signed "R . J . Richardson , " of Manchester . It gate a cuBntermaad of au order which hi \ d been cent for arms , and compla-ined of a s > a- < picion that he ( ThoUipson ) was privy to tha apprehension of several partien by giving infcrmation to Gov' -rETnoni .

      [ S ; mo wtters of t ! ie prisoner were produced . Mr . Sa-iler owore , to his handwriting , Jrom havia ^ seen him write twice on the previous day . He also swore to the b&ii'lwrituig cf fii ^ ginc ] Nlr . Cobbett croB » - xaniiiied the witness in reference to the handwriting , and afterirards rose to addretii the Bencb . lie said Iho prJj » OCfl . " was chatged with having . irms in his possessiou ; but he contended that the charge could not be entertained , as it was woll known that he was a manufacturer of arms ; and bin having sr > ld arms to the prisoners Mitchell and Davies , did not prove that ha had sold thein for the purprtkj of acting illegally ; therefore he did not tiiink it possible to make a crime out ol the extremely far-fetched evidence , as the prii » on « r

      h : id not bopn proved to have be « n connected wilh thosa parties * ho had previously been convicted , ou whit no considered to be equally far-fetched and refilled evidence . He had so : d them in the character of a tradesman , which , as a man of business , he had a right to do . There are scmo documents which have been produced , and Sadler has positively tworn to tbe handwriting . He did not consider thi * any proof whatever ; and correct proof of hflnd <" wiitiuK could not at any time be takes by comparison . Such proof could not be entertain-d by any judge in the kingdom . He did not deny but that the tfitfoafure ^ produced were vary much alike ; but Mr .

      Sadler , irom seeing tke prisoner write twice y < steri ay , had undertaken to m wear to the documents now produced . Now , Sir , I say , that a man who would swear to those documents on such ground is not worthy of any credit at all . 11 was no fault of hi * that ttie geatieman had thus hazarded his character . Mr . Sadler was not an ignorant man ; and if te fell iuto an error , he could not h 1 ? it . In conclusion , he * aid , iu reference to this prosecution , that he hoped he should not have to appear in that court again ; and he trusted that such a report of tho case throughout would be- given a * would hand down to potttwity tho conduct of that bencb , as a beacon and es a warning to al ) raagierrates in future .

      The Mayor , in reference to the latter remarks of Mr . Colbetf , said that himself and brother Magistrates considered they had only done their duty . The prisoner wa-i then committed for trial on a charge oS illegally disposing of arm )* , combination , and conspiracy . Mr . C ^ bbett inquired at what hou r tbe prisoner Nickoll * would be brought up on Saturday ? The Clerk The Court always commences at twelve o ' clock , unless otherwise arranged . The Mayor—Shall you be hero Mr , Cobbett ? Mr . Cobbett—Why , I don ' t know , Sir .

      The Mayor—Because I am requested by my brother Magistrates to say , that more « . ourte ^ y mast , ia future , be observed on yoor part , otherwise you will be excluded practising in this Court . Mr . Cobbett briefly apologised , and the Court broke up .
