My beloved Fbibxds , —I hare frequently made goesses , and not bad ones , for yon , and now I bare io recall yonr attention to every one of my prophecies made upon the turning out of the Whigs , and the turning in of the Tories j of my letter as to the result of failure from Six Robert PeeVs Tariff , the Yery first written upon the subject in the light in which I therein placed it before yon j and , above -aE , I have to recall your attention to the tendency and substance of every one of my speeches during jny more recent tour . Did I not tell you , over and over again , that the factions would shortly fight
and that , if wipe , you would fold your arms when nvited to take a share , and look quietly on until they had eaten each other , like Kilkenny cats , to the tails ? Did I not tell you that , in the event of the Tariff failing , recourse would be had to martial Jaw , and every stretch of power , to suppress public opinion ! And is it not sol Now , my friends , it matters not who commenced the recent outbreak , who perpetuates it , and how it may termi-iate ; but one thing is certain , and that is , henceforth the people
must look to themselves , and to themselves ooly , for the establishment of their principles . This will blow over when tyranny is gorged with " -its victims ; and then so far from democracy receiving a check , it will progress with redoubled vigour . In fact , it cannot be otherwise ; for , as I have often told you , machinery itself , if the proprietors had all their own way , would so centralise the wealth of the country in a few hands that the successful gamblers would become objects of envy to one class , of sooth to another , and of suspicion to all .
The great value of tho recent outbreak is the knowledge , that it h& 3 given us of our friends and of our enemies . We find the weak And chicken-hearted fly to the arms of their own and the people ' s bitterest enemies to ensure a dishonourable safety ; while , not satisfied with their individual sets of baseness , they wwifci farther damn our cause by creating and extending disunion . But even in spite of these false friends the cause of freedom will survive , and itsbanners will yet triumphantly wave over their unmourued renviins ; while the scorn of the living will mark them through life a 3
traitors and deserters . Every great-commotion sure to have its victim ? , but the good and faithful will survive every shock of factious opinion . How proud must I be to hive withstood the shock of my pro-Tory policy , and to have witnessed its recognition by the whole people , in dtfimce of ihe caprice and madness of those who would have hounded r . n Whig preferalleness . How much more prcad 2 a . - ; I now be to find the whole nation as one man , rallying round me once more as their prop and their main-stay , laughing at tho attempts of the wicked and smiling treason out of
countenance ] Envy would have marked me as a sacrifice for hatred , bu » prudence , courage , and honesty have stood between me and danger . Many have been , and more will be , sacrificed , unle ? 3 timely aid is rendered . I hive aopeiied to you before ; I must now appeal to you again , for the deans of defence . You see that the middling classes will not assist ; why cot then take the advice of our excellent friend O'Hig ^ ins , and hav 3 one general day for subscription . I hope to attend all ihe Special Commissions in person , if they are cot held simultaneously ; but then I must have the means of rendering comfort to the tfflicted .
The Defence Fund of 1839 owes me over £ 300 , and if I had means now at my command 1 would not call upon you , but as I have not , I call upon every village , town , hamlet , aud district to meet on Saturday next , the 17 th inst ., for the purpose of subscribing towards the defence of our friends who are now in custody , and who will shortly be tried . Although I hare no pecuniary interest , none whatever , in the success of the Evening Star , I have to communicate the glad tidings that it is f& 3 t spreading Chartist principles in circles where they
have not heretofore been even thought of . I do not stop here . Our machinery is . not yet complete ; but should I liv « till January I ghall have done my share , by attaching a monthly magazine to the machinery already in existence-for the furtherance of our cause . The whep of the profits derived from it shall go to the support of our xjaose , and shall also , I trust , furnish a permanent defence fund , a very necessary ingredient , which I requested you five years ago to raise , not the moment that it was required , but as a permanent tiling to fall back upon .
Thus you find that in general , the " traitor and -coteard" i 3 compelled to take the post of danger and responsibility , while the fjuthfcl and valiam : continue to eke a comfortable livelihood , without encountering the one or being pampered with the other . You can form no estimate of the confusion caused by the altered circumstances of the Evening Star in the ranks of the old " press gang . ' They are literally in fits ; for all impartial politicians declare
that the people ' s paper is the only one worth reading . Just recollect the state in which the Northern Star found public opinion in the provinces , and the state to which it h 3 s brought it now , and then bear in mind the position in which I found publio opinion in the metropolis , and mark the change that I am making there . My movements in your cause have none of them been slow , while ill have been bold and safe . A man cannot do a
nation s -work , but he can teach them how to do their own ; that T am doing , and have been engaged in for the last seven years , and shall continue despite all temporary impediments to turn every accident or circumstance that fate or policy may present to the advancement of the Chartist principles . You will easily believe that I must feel a greater anxiety in all matters connected with this movement , than any other living man . I do not look upon it as
a means of livelihood or support , I look upon it as a stroke which must make or m ** the cause of democracy . It has suffered no damage at my hands—it never shall , nor will I be driven from my course by the fool , the knave , or the traitor . Chartism will make another bounce , and that ere long , and will pass the narrow bounds which tyrants would establish as its limits . Treachery may prosper for a time , but its abettors will learn that a brave and oppressed people cannot be kept in bondage by bayonets , or held there by special commissions . I am , your faithful friend , Fxargcs O'Comtor .

A public mee ' iEg was held on Tuesday evening , September the 6 th , at the Hall of Science , Lawrencestreet , for the rurpose of choorfng a committee for defending that " sterling advocate of the people ' srighte , George White , at his forthcoming trial . " By eight o ' clock the room was nearly full of working men , who , throughout the whole of the proceedings conducted themselves in the mest orderly and becoming manner . Mr . Walter Thorn was called to the chair , and in opening the business of the meeting read the following letter from Feargus O'Connor , in reply to one forwarded to him by order of a previous meeting : —
Deab Thoen , —In ordinary times I could give you an opinion upon tfce conduct of the authorities , and some guess on the law tptn the case . But when a junction of factions takes place for the suppression of all justice , rights , and law , then ia honest opinion useless . I do not aee how the antboritiea could have refused the proffered bail- But their doing it is enough , md preclude * the possibility of any remonstrance for tbe present . However , if bail it not taken , I shall endeavour to tare the matter brought before the Judges . I can only say , that if I am tendered and accepted by the magistrate * that 1 will start at once , and do the needful . Feargus O'Coksob .
Mr . Thorn . Mr . J . Fcsssii , in rising to more the first resolution , was rewired with acclamation . He requested the meeting to offer no marks of approbation " or disapprobation , and thus give booby-headed magistrates no opportunity of declaring the meeting a riotous and illegal one . He then took a retrospective view of the condition of the country , and comtnented upon Sir Robert Peel ' s expression of his detertnicauon to form a " strong Government , " he ( Sir R . Peel ) meaning thereby , not to have a Government who should investigate and reform abuses , but one that should put down by force the free expression of opinion . George White was one of the victims of Sir Robert ' s strong Government . But despotism cannot controul a determined

people ; bayonets cannot longer support tyranny , and never could put down freedom of thought . Sir R . Peel , whilst he declared his sympathy for the distressed , imprisoned those who endeavoured to relieve lit , and induced the Queen to offer blood-money for the apprehension and destruction of the friends of those whose miseries he affected to commiserate . Tho Corn Law League were the first to commence the late agitation , and also the first to turn upon those whem they had driven to desperation , and voluntarily lend their aid to tke
faction for whom they professed the greatest hatred Whig ] ings had advised the people not to pay taxes . Had tho Chartist leaders done so ? No J they had denounced the recommendation aa illegal . Would the strong Government listen to the prayers of an injured people ? He hoped they would . The only way to prove it was for every honest man to join the National Charter Association , and put them to the test by making an appeal . He hoped they would not cease to support both him and his family , so long as they may need it , and concluded by proposing i be following : —
" That this meeting expresses their warmest sympathy with their oppressed friend George White , and their determination to render him every support in their power ; and also takes this opportunity of declaring their utter detestation and disgust of the course pursued by the authorities , in their illegal refusal of the duly-qualified bail who have been proffered on bis behalf . " Mx . T . P . G&skh Beetmded the resolution . Mr . Lindon Smith moved " That a committee be appointed to raise funds for the defence of Mr . Geo . White . "
He said the parties who had committed White to" take his trial at the tessious , upon the evidence of worthless witnesses , one of whom had been twice imprisoned , were the same individuals who would try him upon that occasion . They might form a pretty correct guess of his fate , if his trial were not traversed . He hapod tho 3 e who consented to act upon the committee , would be determined to do their duty , or else withdraw their names , that there might be no disappointment experienced . Mr . Thorp seconded the resolution . - The meeting then named the committee . Mj \ Macki . vtosii moved the third resolution : — " That this meeting expresses its sympathy with the whole of the imprisoned friends of-liberty throughout the country , and trust that the sons of freedom will rally round them , and support them in their hour of need . "
The Chartists , he said , were frequently taunted with want of energy in their support of victims ; he trusted there would be no want of energy upon the present occasion , or he would taunt them too . George White had proved himself an uncompromising , bold , and honest supporter of the rights of the people , and be had a claim upon Uieir support in return . He wished them to see how government acted towards those who suffered in it 3 strvice . To the four daughters of an officer who lately fell in Affghanisian , the Government had given £ 100 a year for life . To the wife of a policeman who lost his life in a fray the other day , had been given about £ 400 , which had made her independent . This was not done from sympathy for the sufferers or
their survivors , but as an inducement for men to go boldly forward , and unhesitatingly do the bidding of those in power . Such should be the conduct of working men , when any victims fell in their cause . The surest way to destroy tyranny was to convert the intended punishment into an advautage and au honour to the victim . They formerly put men into the pillory for political offences , but this was speedily abandoned , when the people , instead of ill-treating them , received them with acclammation 3 , and showed them every kindness . The resolution was a general one , but he must particularly mention his friend George White , whom he firmly believed to be an honest man if there was one in the country .
Mr . Halsb seconded the resolution . He said , he fnlly agreed with the previous speaker . The time was come when spie 3 Bhould have no handle upon them . They should have no strangers among them . When men came busying themselves in their committees , they should ask them where they came from , and how they obtained their daily bread . They Bhould , as Mr . Mackintosh had said , make it the interest of men to serve them . He had read the report of G . White's examination , and , like many others , could not conceive what Teasons could have induced his committal . There were none to be drawn from the published reports . Mr . White had , in his opinion , acted legally , and without wish to break any laws . The reply of Government to the appeals made to them had been bayonets and bullets , and not au investigation into the causes of misery .
A vote of thanks wa 3 then given to the Chairman and the meeting separated .

his numerous hearers , and much to the annoyance of a few of the Corn Exohange vassals , in the rear of the room . He was followed by Mr . Dyott , who , in a speech replete with telling humour and incontrovertible argument supported the Charter and ridiculed its opponents . Several other gentlemen addressed the assembly , and the fruits of their oratory were discernable in the coming forward of three individual s ( bepidts those admitted at the beginning of the procceding ?) who professed their conviction that nothing was left for Ireland but to go for the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing but the Charter , and who were immediately at their desire enrolled members , the association boasting now close upon 1 , 200 members . So much for the exertions of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association in a city where they had to enoounter the double-ahotted opposition of milk and water Liberals and barefaced Tories .
BATH . —A public meeting was held here on Monday , the 5 ih , at Galloway ' s Buildings , Mr . Morrish in the chair . In introducing the business of the meeting , the chairman called the attention of the persons assembled to the fact , that an attempt was made to victimise their leaders , the common enemy hoping that they might , by filing the dungeons with patriots , put a stop to the good old cause , and concluded by introducing Mr . Young , who , in an energetic manner , urged the necessity of subscribing towards the defence of those who had fallen victims to the persecution of the " powers that be , " his call was responded to liberally . The chairman then called on Mr . Furse to read the addresB of " Hunt ' s Monument Committee . " This being read ,
Mr . Twite called attention to a letter , which appeared in the " Statesman" signed ¦ ¦** An Old Chartist , " and after commenting thereon , together with the vindictive and detracting editorial remarks upon the said letter , he concluded by proposing the following resolution : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the letter which appeared in the British Statesman , of Saturday , the 2 » th ult ., and signed * An Old Chartist , ' was a cowardly attack upon Feargns O'Connor , Esq ., Dr . M'Donall , Mr . Campbell , and Mr . Hill , and calculated to injure the Chartist cause ; and that a letter be written to the Editor calling upon him to give up the name of the individual so styling himself : also calling upon
him for an explanation relative to the charge made in the leader of the same paper , of cowardice and treachery against Feargus O'Connor , Esq . Also that this meeting approve of the conduct of Mr . Hill , in not inserting what the * Old Chartist'and the Statesman style " The Address of the Executive . " This was seconded by Mr . Furse . An amendment was proposed by Mr . Roberts , to the effect— "That this meeting repudiate and condemn all denunciation , come from what party it may . " A desultory conversation was now carried on for some time . As no one seeonded the amendment , the orginal resolution was put and carried . The meeting then broke up , A publio mebting is held at the above premises every Monday evening .
GtASGOW . —Anderbton . —Mr . John Adams leotured on Monday evening , in the Chartist church , West College-Btreet , to a numerous audience . The lecturer spoke for upwards of an hour , administering severe castigations to the aristooracy , the middle classes , and the clergy . He urged the people to union , but upon principle—the People ' s Charter , and nothing less—and sat down amidst the repeated plaudits of the meeting . Mr . Hanley moved a vote of thanks to the leoturerv which was carried by acclamation . Mr . Colquhoun being called upon , briefly addressed themeeting . He raged the people to renewed vigour , and said they were not to take
the present calm as an earnest of the indifference of the people } it was not apathy * bnt despondency . He hoped the Anderston Committee , along with the Committee in the City , would take immediate Bteps to pat Glasgow in a position by which they should be prepared to take part in a national deliberation as to their future line of policy . Mr . Hanley said their committee were just getting up a meeting of delegates , to consider the present condition of the country , which meeting was fixed for Thursday evening , the 12 th , when the subject referred te . by Mr . Colquhoun would receive their most serious consideration .

TORQUAY , Djsvonshibe . —The Chartist flag has beeo here nailed to N the mast head . Twenty-five members have been enrolled , and the infant Bociety has every prospect of gtring gallantly ahead . We have received from them an expression of their confidence , sad of their disgust at the "Old ChartistV slanders . They have oor thanks . RATCLirFE BRXDGS . —The Chartists of this place paid a visit to the clrarch on Sunday last , to hear a sermon preached from the first six- verses of the fifth chapter of St . James , by the Rev . J . Diverse , of that place . The Chartists had selected this portion of seripture for the Rev . gentleman on the Sunday previoaa , but he requested to hare time to consider the subject , and promised if they would attend on the Sunday following , he would preach them a sermon from the above text . They atteaded accordingly , and filled the churchy so that there was no room for the regular church-going parties , and
gave the parson an opportunity of holding forth for once to a full house . He was as good as bis wordhe did preach from the text that they had selected for him—but H was his theological opinion that the text had no reference to the rich men of this country , but to the Jews that had forsaken the religion of the living God . But how different the conduct of the rich men of this day . Had they not a proof of this every day before oar eyes , in the splendid mansion that they had built for their minister , the servant of God , to live in ., He then told them that it was ' uot the rfcfcTtteh fnat had stopped them from working No , the rich men were willing to find them employment , and give them good wages for their work ; but this he would tell them , that unless they came to terms with the masters that the country would be under martial law , and very properly too , in less than a fortnight . The people left in a peaceable manner , at the same time telling him that they would come again when he preaohed the whole counoil of God alike to rich and poor .
BOWJEtL AND DESBOROUGH ( NORTHAMPTONSHIRE . )—After two excellent lectures delivered by Messrs . Bairstow and Jones on the principles of tho Charter . A locality was formed between the two towns , and twenty have enrolled themselves as members of tho National Charter Association . CHELTENHAM . —On Sunday evening , Mr . Bairatow delivered a most eloquent and power / ally impressive discourse from the words " Crucify him , crucify him , " to an overcrowded meeting , ia the Mechanics' Institute . Oa Monday , a very crowded audience
met the Council of the Cheltenham Charter Association and the National Complete Suffrage Union , who had drawn up an Address to be sent to Mr . Sturge of B ' . r , ruingham , in the same room . The Address was moved by Mr . Melsom , seconded by Mr . Laray , and carried unanimously . Mr . Bairstow then delivered a most argumentative , convincing , and thrillingly eloquent lecture on ' < tke strike , its causes and results . " He gave the police spies present a most stinging castigation . Thirteen members were enrolled . All went off peaceably .
LEICESTER . —The Shakeperian Chartists held a large meeting of several thousands on Sunday last , to hear an address from a female Chartist , bat in consequence of her receiving a note that if she attempted to speak she wauld be taken into custody , the address was not delivered—a hymn / was sung , and one or two Chartists said a few words , and a collection was made towards defraying the experts of Mr . Cooper's defence . Another large meeting was held in the AU Saints Room , on Monday evening . Mr . Jones , the Chartist
poet , in the chair . The meeting was addressed by Messrs . Jackson , MarkhaM , and Hodgson on the present conciliat of the Government . We have not yet been able to find sufficient ball for Mr . Wm . Jones , the talented lecturer from Liverpool . We kave tendered bail for him , who have been worth double the amount , yet they refuse , and will give no reason why . It appears the object of their refusal 1 b , to keep him from giving instruction to the people . They are that jealous of him that they have put him in a debtor's ward by himself .

ONE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD . Thanks , great thanks , to the "Old Chartist . " The link of which tyranny was deficient , has been supplied by his hands . The '' most extraordinary document" was fatherless , and authority knew not upon whom to charge the bantling , but treason soon found a parent , and laid the blood-hound" on the scent . One hundred pounds reward has been offered for the apprehension of Dr . M"Douall . Every man throughout the land is nowacquainted with his height , complexion , age , accent , dress , gait , and appearance ; his eyes , his hair , his whiskers , nose , aud cheek bones , are minutely described ; and no doubt , the
assurance by An Old Chartist , " that M'DouaH ' sfriends were dis gusted with him , b . aeled the authorities to the conclusion that he may be safely hunted like a hare , as prey to feed their appetites . This is a repetition of those scenes of havoc , woe , and devastation , so daringly , bnt so unsuccessfully , resorted to by the Whigs in 1839 , for the suppression of Chartism ; but as they failed then , so will they fail now , and , in the long run , the devices of the wicked will turn upon themselves . This sacking of the Chartist leaders , preparatory to a grand assault ol the League ^ is a deep and hellish stroke . One aimed at the movement party , intended for its destruction j and the re-establishment of Whiggery upon its ruins .
Perhaps we may have a new version of Whiggery , in which Peel , Russell , and PaJmerston may shake hands upon the principles of free trade , accompanied with a general pledge , to crush tho movement party first , and then te Bet about feeding the free traders upon the English funds , the English lands , and the English people . Such pledge would satisfy even the partisans of the Right Hon . Baronet . Now , we would seriously ask , whether or bo this revolution of the League was concocted with the doable view , firstly , of trying what effect general confusion may have in uniting the discordant elements in a demand for a repeal « f the Corn Lairs ,- sod , secondly , to anticipatethat revolution which was predicted to
break out in winter , in order tnat soiaiers , police , and specials , may have the fair play of long days at their victims . Be this aa it may , one thing ia now certain j and that is , that the people have at length discovered that when a stand is made for principle , all factions will join in opposing them . We have given elsewhere tbe description of Mr . M'Douall , as placed on the walls , and in tbe keeping of all policemen , and bo doubt deposited at the general centraliirag depots , the several railway stations ; and , as Lover makes his fox a politician , and reader of newspapers , in order that he may know where the hounds are to meet , we would reoonvmend our hare neither to show his wbiskcrs , eyes , or hair , bis gait or complexion , at any of the great railway picture galleries . — £ » cnin ff Star ,

, Mr . Brandt shmT Mr . Hsitok appeared for the prosecution . Tire fit . ^ t eleven prisoners were defended by Mr . Greet , ' . e ; and She twelve immediately succeeding then , S by Mr . Whigham . Tho others were undefeated . Upwards of sixty vn tnesses rrere examiaed for the prosecution . Mr . Giikese addressed the court far upwards ofan hour on behalf of his eir « tt 3 . He contended that tho evidence was not suffitaet't to conixet any of tho prisoners with the mob who turned ost tho colliers at Clifton , and accounted \ for the presence of the
prisoners at the plaee •*** " « they were taken , by stating , that some of thess i / ere returning from a meeting at Kersall Moor , * ni I others were present accidentally , or through ewiotity . In the course of his observations , he accond the Anti-Cora Law League , and some member ? » f the Anti-Corn Law Conference recently held in Lo . ndon , as , ba 7 ing , by inflammatory harangues , instigated and incited tho working classes to acts of ow&rag e . Mr . Whjgham pursued a siaiilai-lino of observation , and contended , that the innocence of the prisoners was perfectly reconcilable with their pressnee * at the collieries after the arrival- of * the military .
Witnesses to character were then examined on behalf of all the prisoners , except Salmon and Wblfendale . Most or the witnesses were respectab ' o and intelligent men , and the character given of tha prisoners in general was very favoarable . Mr . Fosteb then summed up tha evidence affecting each pris-oner separately , and paused after each case , to allow the jury an opportunity of coming toa decision upon it before he proceeded to tho next .
At seven o'clock the jury retired ; and , having deliberated for about half an hour , they returned intov court , and acquitted all the prisoners , except the following , against whom they returned a verdiot of Guilty : —John Bramall , John Fielding , John Holland , John Lane , Thomas Ormo , and Ralph Taylor . Mr . Foster said , he should not pass sentence on . these , as there were other prisoners to be tried for a > similar ofi ' cnce upon some of whom he might have to pass sentence also , and ail might bo sentenced at tho
same time . The prisoners , who had conducted themselves in a very becoming manner throughout the trial , then queitly withdrew , and wore met by a large body of their relatives and friends out of doors , who were anxiously awaiting tbo result of the trial . The court rose at eight o ' clock , having been occupied ten hours in this case . TUESDAY . THE HEYWOOD TURN-OUTS . The seventy-eight perrons who were apprehended at Ladyshore , on the 17 th of August , oa the charge of turning out the hanas employed at Mr Fletcher's collieries , were brought up for trial this morn in g ^ before J . F . Foster , Esq ., chairman , W . F . Hulton , Esq ., and J . Fletcher , Esq . In order to avoid tho inconvenience and
difficulty necessarily connected with the trial of so large a number of prisoners , the Court directed that they should be tried in four separate parties . John Mannock , Lawrence Marsden , Daniel Miller , Holt Nabb , John Nuttall , Samuel Partington , Thomas Partington , James Pemberton , Joseph Pilkington , James Pilling , Thomas Pixton , Samuel Porter , John Rigley , Samuel Roberts , John Ryder , James Schofield , Samuel Schofieid , James Simpson , Robert Simpson , and Thomas Smith , were then placed at the bar . The indictment c arged them with having , at the township of Hey wood , on the 17 th of August last , riotously and tumultuously assembled together , armed with clubs , Bticks , &o . and made great noise and . confusion , to the terror of her Majesty's subjects . The prisoners pleaded Not Guilty .
Mr . Brandt and Mr . Hulton prosecuted ; the prisoners were undefended . The defence severally set up by the prisoners was , that they were either at the place where the riot occurred by the compulsion of the mob ; that they were pas 3 ing by at the time , and became entangled with the rioters ; or that they were there from mere curiosity . Witnesses to character were examined on bohalf of all the prisoners . The Jury , after about fifteen minutes' deliberation delivered a verdict of Guilty against all the
prisoners . Jeffrey Harwood , James Hill , Thomas Hill , Wm . Hodgson , William Holden , Charles Hope , Thomas Horrooka , Thomas Hoyle , Peter Johnson , James Kay , John Kay , Joseph Kay , Thomas Law , John Lawson , Richard Leach , William Leach , Thomas Leach , John Lombley , James Lord , and James M'Nicholl , were next placed at the bar , under the same charts that was made against the previous party , and { before the same jury . The prisoners pleaded Not Guilty . Mr . Brandt and Mr . Hulton appeared for the prosecution : the prisoners had no advocate .
The same witnesses that were produced on behalf of the prosecution in the previous case were examiaed , and similar testimony gken . All the prisoners received a good character , it having appeared , from the statement of one of the witnesses for the , prosecution , that M'Nicholl was apprehended on another charge about tbe same time that the other prisoners wero taken , the Jury were directed to acquit him . AH the other prisoners were found Guilty . William Bannister , James Barlow , Stephen
Barlow , Thomas Barlow , John Bellfield , William Booth , Samuel Butter worth , John Clewes , Lazarus Collinge , Samuel Connor , Henry CrosBky , William Dale , Jainos Davenport , Joseph Dearden , John Diggle , Anthony Glover , David Grseuhalgh , Walter Gregory , and John Harley were next placed at the bar , before the Barae Jury . The evidence in this cese was precisely the same as in the last . Witnesses to character were examined on behalf of the prisoners , and very handsome testimony was borne : to tho previous conduct of them all .
The Jury , without much hesitation , found the prisoners guilty , but recommended them to the merciful consideration of the court , on the ground , that they were the victims of villanous characters who had escaped justice . Joseph Standeven , William Skahdring , Robert Stott , Joseph Sutcliffe , John Tatan , James Taylor , Edward Thompson , Edward Titler , Thomas Walker , Jeffrey Warburton , William Watmough , James Whktaker , John Whitworth , William Whitwprth , Robert Wolstenholme , Edmund Wilde , William Wright , and Abraham Whittaker , were next
brought up under the same indictment . Abraham Whittafe-er ' s trial was postponed to next sessions , at htB own request . William Wilde pleaded Guilty , and all the other prisoners pleaded Not Guilty . The same gentlemen appeared as counsel for the prosecution . The prisoners were undefended . The evidence for the prosecution was the same as in the previous cases . A very good character was given of the prisoners by several witnesses . None of the prisoners were identified as having committed any actof violence or intimidation , beyond being in the mob .
Mr . Brandt recommended Wilde to- mercy , in consequence of his having pleaded guilty . Evidence was produced to show that Wm . Whitworth waa not where the riot occurred for any illegal purpose . TW Chairman then briefly charged the Jury ; and after a few minutes ' deliberation they acquitted W . Whitworth , and returned a verdiet of Guilty against the other prisoners . Whitworth was instantly discharged from custody .
BIOT 3 AT LITTLS tEVKK .
