Ha objected-to the expenee of the Lord Iieatendncy of Ireland , trhico amounted to "between £ 50 , 000 and £ 60 , 000 . What beneatwas obtained by this expenditnre ? Was the . cffioe of any zeal use ? Porois own part , he considered that tke maintenance of the office waa no advantage to the country . He thought , if the exDences of this country werei thoroiuhly inveatigstad , aad if its resenrcea were properly considered , such unnecessary expenditure TTOBld not be incurred ; sod he would repeat , teat before fixe Bouse was called ¦ apon to Tote supplirjs , they oueht to h » Ye the means of ascertaining in what way the Terence of the country srss to be obtained—( hear ) . It was peculiarly neoessaiystthe present time , whenfit »«« nntry

He was wetl aware that reductions couH sot be at once effected in these establishments , but % e eonsidered that more -economical plans < ragbt in fufcare to be adopted , He -tsked the Hoese to -consider the mirerings of the -people ; they were 'bond to de so ; sad to "think of methods ot letts-riim , instead of asgra--rating , "the burdens under ¦ which tbe 1 !*™^ groaned . Be wanted to tnow , whsther the-Government hed any intention of lettering "fee people from the burden of ths 5 Ecome Tax , * or , if not , whether "they had any of st&eving the great body of the community from the
pressure of indirect taxation ? The Hon . Gentleman ¦ oontiaded by ~ moTing his amendment , —" Tkst at the present perkxttix extended distress , it is the dnty of the -Bouse to consider the means of lightening the pressure of taxation on the people , by reducing to the greatest practicable extent the expenses of the military . -as well as oltbe dril est&bHekineotB of the conutrj ; ^ Siat therefore it is expedient , -that the Toting of any ^ applies shoold be postponed till the estimate * of the whole expenditure and the means to meet that expenditore be first furnished to the Bouse . " Mr . Btjhc seconded the amendment . The question having been put , Mr . WlELliHS objected to the expense of the Irish snd the Metropolitan police , which were , in fact , well trained military bodies , BQf ported oat ef the taxes ; tm <\ inquired wny the army was maintained on its pre-« ent « xtszragant footing ?
The Chancellor o * the Exchequer conBidered that reply should be reserved till toe particular estimates were nnder discassioD . Mr . SVMS considered that with proper reductions in the expense of our establishments the income-tax Slight hare been rendered unnecessary . Be supported the amendment . general Joh > "SCCT also thought that the amendment -war a reasonable one . During i £ e five nights of debate on the state of the country he had not heard one word in explanation of the real cause of the distress , which was oYertaxatioru Captain Poibill referred the caisse of distress fo the . great and rapid increase of the population . Machinery was the curse of the cos&try . 'On a aamsion , Mr . Crawford ' s amendment was supjwrtedby 15 , and rejected by-62 . The Bouse then went into a committee of supply
Sir Besst Bjlhdisgb brought forward the army estimates . Aa compared with the previous year there is to be a reduction of 5 " 40 men , with a total wring on tbe entire estimates of £ 133 , 000 . The redaction in the Slumber of men was-as large as-could be effected at this early stage in the re-estabiiahment of peaceful relations , keeping in Tiew the proper relief of regiments Burring abroad , and the effective discipline of the army . After going through the various items , he concluded by proposing the first vote , which was for 100 , S 16 men for -the laad service .
Mr . Hvse considered that if the number of troops in oar colonies were reduced , we-could afford to abolish the duties on cotton and wooL Be also censured the system adopted towards the Boers of the colony of the Cape of Good Bope ; and re-afinned that our distresses arose from extravagance , as well as bad legislation . Be wished the force to be redsced to what it was in 1835 ; and proposed an amendment that the vole be reduced t $ 10 . 090 men . iord ABTBrB Lekxojc considered that if we wished a better class of men to enter the army , we should increase the rate of pensions which was at present a sdaerable pittance of sixpence * day . Captain Xatabd would vote for the amendment if he were convinced that the cr . tlit and dignity of the country could be sustained by -the reduction , of which , however , he was not satisfied . Mr . Williams regretted that Mr . Hnme had not moved for a larger reduction .
Sir He > bt Habdisgb explained that many of the stringent regulations complained of , such as that relating to widows' pensions , were-not to be attributed to the Government , npon whoa * -they were forced by the recommendations of the nuance committees Be denied that there were too many troops in any one of our ¦ colonies . After some farther diseosstoa , a drriaoD took place on Sir . Bnroe's amendment , when it waa Tejected by 106 to 20 . Iba next vote waa for £ 3 513 , 327 for the expenses of the army , which was agreed to , as were the remaining vetea The vote for the expenses of the volunteer corps was objected to by Mr . WilliamB , but was carried bj 98 to 28 . Six -Jxxes &raHa : m then moved the second reading of the registration of Voters Bill , reserving discussion to a future stage . The other orders of the day were then disposed of , « ad the Boose adjourned .

HOUSE OF LORDS . —Tuesday Feb . 28 . The Earl of Abebdees , in answer to a question from Lord Brougham respecting . the instructions spec v » hich out emisers acted in their endeavours to snppies 3 ihe glare trade upon the'African coast , took advantage of the opportunity tbua' sraforded to express his conviction that explanation only was necessary to remove the jealousy with which , in spite . ofiib . e « ixiety of France to pnt as end to the slave trade , our exertions were still regarded in that « ountry . Tbe instructions -which had been issued daring the last twenty years were bo inconsistent that the responsibility was frequently thrown npon
the naval officers engaged in this service of deciding upon most intricate and important questions of international law , and they had , as was to be expected , in some case 3 fallen into serious errors . ¦ The Government felt strongly the necessity of furnishing officers "with dear and unequivocal instructions npon as many points of difficulty as could -b » anticipated , and anew and explicit code , founded upon existing treaties and tbe law of nations , had been accordingly prepared ; and as England had nothing to conceal—had npnB bnt her ostensible objects to attain—these instructions should be stade public , and would , he trusted , disabuse tbe candid portion of the French pnblic of tbe -unfounded prejudice they now entertained . —Adjourned .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesday , Feb . 28 . The Soliotob-Gekkral moved that " The Sergeant-at-Arms and William Bellamy be allowed to appear and appeal to these actions . " This was an action of falsa imprisonment nnder the Speaker ' s warrant , -which had . beeen issued against the present plaintiff for a breach , of privilege , in having condneted , as attorney , certain actions brought by one Stockdale against Mr . Hansard , the printer « f the House , for alleged libels contained in a report which Mr . -Hansard bad printed by its authority . The Sergeant had been served with a habeas corput upon one of the arrests m&de by nun in consequence of Stockdale ' s actions . The Attornej-. General was directed by ihe Honse to appear ; he did appears
and the Court held that ' the Speaker ' s warrant was in itself a sufficient answer . The present action being Sot false imprisonment nnder the same warrant , he . would propose tfeat , as before , the House should permit the officer to appear and plead . If they were found by the Jfcry to- have committed any exeess in what they had done , it was lit that they shoold be responsible ; it they were found to have committed no excess , tie warrant would be iaeireoiafJete justification . . Sir T . Wjldb retarded ttes proposal as no less ban a surrender of ihe privileges of the House . This House was , and ought to mamtafn itself , the sole jndge of its-own privileges ; andit had deserted its ouij in permitting ihe Speaker to plead to the

SirTaoHAS "Wu-dk and the Solicitoh-G ' £ hkkax , agreed that no important- question weald bo prejudiced bj taking out a summons to enlarge the time . Sir R . Pebl , in the expectation that , the time would be enlarged , proposed to adjourn , ihe debate , which was agreed to . Lord Ashlet rose to more * that tja humble address be presented to her Majesty pra , ying that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to take into her instant and Berioas consideration , the . best means of diffusing the benefits and btessings of a moral and religious educatio * amongst the workiung classes or her people . " Aftwr enlarging on the general impor tanee of edacafeiea , and the great increase of
population during the present esntury , he drew the attention of the Hcnese to-the ^ present state of crime and ignorance , and-of moral > &nd intellectual degradation m Manchestsr , Birmingham , Leeds , and other populous districts , among the lower classes , especially the 5 « mnger po&ion of them . Drunkenness , cursing , qsroniiscuous intercourse of the sexesj were frightfully prevalent among the youth . They -knew no religion—no . God ; the only knowledge possessed by great numbers of them was thsfc of the exploits of Dick Turpin and Jack"Skeppard . There was evidence which established the * fact that not less than £ 25 , 000 , 000 sterling ere annually expanded in ardent spirits ; and it wls proved by medical men that a large proportion—perhaps heif—of all the cases of insanity are produced by thciatemperance thus widely prevalent .
He was aware that what he asked would occasion some expense ; -bnt if we would not consent to tax ourselves for the prevention of crime , we must be taxed more heavily still for -the punishment of it . The expense-of one convict for one year would educate more -than one hundred children . He attributed much of the existing evil to the truck system , to tbe payment of wages at public-houses , and to the miserable condition of the people ' s habitations . The present state of things could not continue for twenty years more , "without producing a convulsion which must overthrow the whole fabric of society . It was remarkable that the better educated poor were net found among tbe insnrgtnts in the late disturbances . This country owed a heavy debt to its poor , whose faults-were mainly imputable to the negleots of those above them .
Sir J . &RAHiV agreed in the acknowledgment of this debt to the poor , and deprecated , on this important discussion of their interests , all interference of partj considerations . He concurred in Lord Ashley's opinions as to the truck system and the payment of wages , and would be glad to join in any such further measure for tho cure of those evils as could be enacted without a dangerous infringement upon private rishtsaud contracts . The state of the people ' s dwellings , and the general arrangement of sanatory regulations in large towns were subjects on which the Government was at this timo actually occupied . He gladly gave his support to the present motion . He feared that Protestant England had more neglected the grand duty of educating the
people than any other nation of Europe . The law had now been victorious ; the soldier and policeman had done their duty ; and the time was come when ihe public instructors must go forth . The Government had most anxiously considered this necessity ; and he ardeDtJj wished that the House , laying aside all rel igious and political differences , would join in endeavouring to find some neutral ground on which the Church and the Dissenters might amicably meet . He would now state what had been done , and what the ministers would propose to do . In Scotland there txisied a parochial sjstem of National education ; and grants had been made by the Committee of Privy Council to two great normal schools which had been established in Edinburgh and Glasgow ,
andfrom which the ¦ whole kingdom would by degrees be supplied with instructors , teaching by the simultaneous system . Grants had also been made for schools in England—large grants , indeed , yet certainly not adequate to the need of the case . With respect to the future , he would first propose that parishes should be united tor the formation of district schools . The children to be there instructed should , in the first place , be orphans and other destitute paupers , or the offspring of poor parents willing te let them be educated there . He would attach to each school a chapel , with a clergy man who should teach the liturgy and Catechism of the Cburoh ; the children of Dissenters , however , being exempted from attendance on those ministrations ,
and allowed to receive religious instruction from any licensed minister of any denomination . He gave s « veral particulars respecting the state of some of the Isirbt manufacturing districts , showing a total want of the means of instruction there ; and then proceeded to the case of children not dependent on parochial relief , but employed in factories . He would propose tfeat no child should be suffered to work more than six hours and a half in one day ; and that each should be obliged to attend school daily for three hours . Tne principle upon which grants had been usually made for ihe building of schools was , that twothirds of the cost should be raised by private contribution . He would recommend that for the future
on « -third only should be r « quired from private sources . The maintenance of tbe school when built might be defrayed partly from small payments to be made by the children themselves for their schooling , and partly by a parochial rate of threepence in the pound . He would have the schools managed each by se ? eu trustees , who should be , the clergyman , the two ehurchwardrns , and four persons to be nominated by the magistrates . The trustees should appoint tbe master , with the sanction of the Bishop . No child Bhoeld be required to attend the worship of the Church of England , or the religions instruction imparted by the master , if the friends of such child should object to his being brought up in conformity with tbe Church of England . These provisions , he
trusted , would protect all classes , and afford com . plete security against all attempts at proselytism . Lord Jobx Rcsseli . felt that the sums heretofore voted for the great purpose of edn&ation had been very inadequate , and , indeed , quite insignificant as compared with the amounts granted for other public services . On the details set forth by Sir James Graham , he would not , without more mature consideration , pronounce an opinion ; but as between the Church and tbe Disservters , he regarded the principle of them as one which ought not to be opposed by those who had the great object of education really at heart . He illustrated the necessity of interposition upon this subject , by some evidence of the state of spiritual ignorance in the West Riding of
Yorkshire , and expressed his opinion , that when a plan was thus fairly brought forward with a view to reconcile the consciences of all denominations , it would be not only folly , but wickedn&'S , on the part of the House to Teject it . His own objection was only that the Ecaie of the provision was not large enough . Any plaa for a purpose like this could be effected only by as Executive Government generally supported . Be insisted on : he importance of providing competent Behoolmasters , tnd retaining them by sufficient induce&ents ; for it happened too often that , from the master ' s deficiency in zeal , or from his inaptitude for his duty , the children learned what was taught them in a superficial manner , and
without any real understanding or feeling of it ; and where a master was well fitted for his duties , he wassiempted to quit them by finding that he could get a better remuneration for his talents elsewhere . Some difficuHy occurred in the unwillingness of parents themselves to let their chiUren attend school 4 and he wished some means to be considered by which that unwillingness might be removed . He suggested also the expediency of providing some education for the classes above the poocest , so that tke Bmall farmers and tradesmen might nat entertain a jealousy of the superior means of education afforded to their workpeople .
Lord Sxxps expressed his satisfaction at the prospects which this evening bad opened . Mr . Ewart desired to twafre theological differences , for tbe sake of the gssat object now in -view . Sir C . BuRREti concurred . Mr . Shaw was disappointed thai nothing had been said about the extension of tbe educational principle to Ireland . Mr . C . Butleb reminded the House of the vast total of charity fnnda specifically applicable to education , amounting to about , £ 300 , 000 a year . There was awjther class of . charities , founded forgiving EmaH sums to the poor . Such small stuns were not only useless , but mischievous ; they were generally expended in drink , and would bo much better applied in education . Th 6 amount of the foundations for thiB purpose was not less than £ 170 , 000 a year .
Sir R . Ikgus rould not approve , in a system of national education , the avafral of an intention to exclude proselytisro ; since it must always be a dnty to attempt the propagation of what we ourselves believed to be the truth . Still less could he approve the suggestion of diverting any charitable foundations from tke purp oses of their founders , unless those pBrposes could be proved to be immoral . Sir Georse Gest hailed the : prospect of improvement which novr appeared to preBent itself through the cordial spirit of all partie ? . Ha believed that Lord Cottenham was m communication with the Government on tbe subjeet of a legislative measure for Tendering certain class&s of educational charities more available than at present . ; _ Sir E » P . REL said , that unless conviction were
brought home individually to the minds of all men in the wealthier classes that they themselves had shared the guilt of neglect in this matter , the good effected this evening would be but imperfect . With respect to the objection on the subject of proselytism , the question was one of balance between good and « fil j and he was not willing , for the sake of the oceiBional good of conversion , to let the present enormous evils , moral and religious , continue to presg upon us . He would be content to admit some modifications of educational charities , where the change of times and cirenmstances had rendered the original purposes impracticable ; but he could not concur in a proposal for diverting , even to bo good an object as that of education , a beqaest in tended for email donations to the poor . He de Rnfled . the limited poale on which Government pro

posed to begin their plan . Success in the manufacturing dtstricta , where the experiment was first to be attempted , would open the way for it in the rural parts of the kingdom . ' Mr . Hawes thought the Dissentere would not like a trust of which the clergyman of the parish was to be at the head . Mr . Acland was content thit the comprehensive principle should be adopted in public schools ; bat he hoped that Government would not discourage the establishment also of such schools aB private parties might wish to found for the education of children in the principles of the Church of England alone . Mr . Smith O'Brien expressed himself but little satisfied . Lord Ashlby , in reply , thanked the House for the reception which it had given to his motion , which was then unanimously carried , and the House adjourned .

to keep out , but exhorting them to be peaceable and quiet .. In the evening of the llih there was another meeting at Hyde . Leach and Candelet , and a Mr . Crossley , a draper , were present . I have notes of what passed . Leach said he had attended a meeting of the shopkeepers at the Working Man ' s Institu-j tion , and they bad come to a resolution that they would keep the turn-outs for two weeks ; but he n quested that they would not be led to put any trust in the false shopkeepers . He further said he wished the people of Hyde to bd ~ true one to another , and on the following Wednesday they would be met by Mr . O'Connor at Manchester , when they would come to a resolution what to do . He cautioned the people to be honest , not to take
anything that was not their own , aud not to damage person or property . Candulct followed nearly in the same strain . Hyde tvaa iu a very riotous state the same day , and all the week . Labour was completely stopped . A very large number of persons came into Hyde . Thej were walking in a sort of broken procession , with clubs and sticks in their hands . They went towards Stockport . There were two departures , one in the morning , and the other in the evening ; that in the morning was the largest . I was at a meeting on Friday , the 12 th of August , in the Market p ace , Hyde . Several him * dred persons were there . Leach and Candelet were there . There was another man named Swindells , who got up and called silence . Another ,
called Wardlaw , then said they were not to come there , day by day , talking and speaking , but to come to the determination how to get bread , aud he for one would go to the masters , as he knew they cohIcI not get tbe Charter at present . He demanded a show of hands in favour of goiug to work , but he was hissed down . Leach next addressed the meeting . He told them that a man named R&yner , who had addressed them the night before , bad been deputed by tbe shopkeepers of Ashton to come and try to get them to go to their work , bat he wished them to be quiet and true to one another , and to submit to nothing but the People ' s Charter . He
then made several remarks on a meeting which had taken place at Stockport the day before . He said that he headed the people up when they went to the bastile for bread , and blood would have been shed if he had not pr vented it . The Mayor of Stockport had shown him a drawer which had been broken open and £ 7 stolen , but he ( the speaker ) wished them not to do any thing of the son . He said thiB in a laughing sort of a way . He added , that the Mayor of Stockport and hundreds of othere had told him " that there was plenty in the store rooms and mills , and if they would not give to the people , let them take it . "
The Judge—You mean that the mayor of Stockport said this ? Witness—Leach told me , my Lord , that the mayor of Stockport said so . Examination resumed—Leach said that he did not wish ihe people to do as the mayor recommended , but to do as was done in the time of king John , when Magna Churta was obtained in one day . The people went in a body to the King , and it was granted . He advised them to be true one to another and the Charter would soon become the law of the land . Samuel Sidebottom , an auctioneer in Hyde , proposed to go to their masters and ask for the wages ) of 1840 . He was hooted down aud put out of the cart . A man named Booth next spoke , and he went on in a similar strain . 1 did not take it down . There were a number of navigators "
in the meeting . Bootn said the " navus wero in great distress , and wanted support , but they might do as they pleased , as the Major of Stockport said , go to the Btores and help themselves . Leach said he did not advise bo , but when a great man like the Mayor advised them bo , they might please themselves . Some of the excavators swore they would act on this recommendation , and go to the first shop and help themselves . A provision shop was near at hand , and a rush was made towards it , but one of the navigators stopped them . Candelet then began to address the meeting , and I was obliged to leave to attend the magistrates . I remember being at the Sheffield and Manchester railway on the same day . There was a large number of
them assembled , who conducted theinselves very riotously . A detachment of the rifle company of brigade arrived , and I left them with the magistrates . Ot the 14 ib of August , I was at a meeting at Mottram Moor , about half-past two in the after noon . Wild , Carteledge , and another man , whose name I understood to be Glossop , were there . Wild was the chairman . He opened the meeting by recommending tho people to be true one to another , and the Charter would soon become the law of the land . He said that another meeting would take place on the following morning , when delegates should be appointed to go to Manchester immediately ; and on the following Tuesday morning , at four o ' clock , again in the same place , and iu
procession they would go to Manchester . On the morning of the l £ th , they again met in the marketplace , Hyde . Moorhouse was the chairman , and John Leach appeared . The latter spoke . I have notes of what he said . He alluded to the large sums of money which it took to support the Queen . He asked where that came from but the pockets of the poor ? He finished by recommending the people to keep out until the Charter became the law . On the evening of the same day , at eight o ' clock , another meeting was held . Moorhouse spoke , but ho simply announced a meeting for the evening of the following day . I went to it . Booth and Moorhouse were there . The former spoke at great length . He held a large sized placard in his hand , which I heard him
rp -ad . He began by Baying what an expense the Queen was to poor people , vrhwt quantities of wine she drank —( laughter)—what large quantities of spirits she drank , the number of fat oxen she consumed , the large number of sheep aad lambs she eat , and that she cost the poor people annually £ 160 , 000 . At this time there was a report that the Magistrates were coming to take them , a&d Moorhouse leaped from the waggon , and said a meeting would take place on the following morning , at six o ' clock . At eight o ' clock a meeting was held in the Market-plaee , Hyde . Moorhouse acted as chairman , and Caodelet , Leach , and Booth , and a man named Barlow , a factory operative , were present . An excavator got upon the waggon , and said he wished
them to turn out , and then the " navies" would be out in five minutes . A man , who said he was a delegate from Manchester , next spoke . He said he waa sent from Manchester to inform ' the people of Hyde thai he was in attendance at the hall as a delegate ; that the delegates assembled were 340 for the Charter , and eighteen against it ; for the wages of 1840 , or a scale of wages ; that the middle classes and all other classes of people in Manchester were for the Charter . Candelet spoke . A proclamation from the Queen had been poited on the walls before that time . ( A copy was produced , and put in . It was dated August 13 , 1842 , and offered a reward of £ 50 for the apprehension and conviction of the rioters . ) Candelet said he did sot care a straw for the proclamation , as their meetings were legal , and held in tho
day time , to conduct the interests of the poor ; that special constables and soldiers would be no use ; that bayonets in eight days time , will be of no use ; delegates were going about in the agricultural districts , warning and turning the labourers put , —all except the millers and reapers of grain ; but in fact they were all nearly out ; then where would the military and special constables he 1 But as I am to be in Manchester at ten o ' clock this morning , I must conclude by telling you that when in the Hall last night , at six o clock , Mr . Beawick , superintendent of police , entered , and told the people that he was sent by the Magistrates , to inform the people there assembled that they were not allowed to hold their meetings any longer while the town was in that disturbed state . Three magistrates entered , and gave tbe people tea minutes

time to disperse , but in five minutes ( said Leach and Candelet ) they were all gone . The battle was part won , and let us be true to one another , and never submit to go * to work until we get all points of the Charter . . John Leaoh next spoke , lie said he was appointed one of the delegates to Ithe great National Conference , and at ten o ' clock he had to meet M'Douall . for he had sent him word that he longed to see him . I will collar him and bring him here with me this evening , and in eight ; day ' s time there will be a fixed wage by Act of Parliament , and the Charter will beepme the law of the land . He made some observations about the shopkeepers , saying that they were a hypocritical set , and so on . I attended another meeting at half-past
seven in the evening of the 18 th , in the Marketplace , Hyde . Leaoh was present . He commenced Tailing against the shopkeepers and the middle classes . Moorhouse , who was in the chair , said that there was a delegate from Glossop , and Leach began to tell the meeting how much money had been expended by the Spinners' Union , not one penny of which had been spent for the Charter . He went on to say—does not my friend from Glossop tell you that there are many able-bodied men from Glossop-Dale , well armed with their bludgeons , and who are not frightened to use them . Where will the specials
and the red-coated gentry be then ? They will be glad to give in , and we will have them in large numbers to-morrow , to meet and go to Ashton . He called upon the people to be united , aud so long as he lived , he would agitate , for the aristocracy of the country waB bad , and , without alteration , would soon be worse . During the time I have been speaking of , the mills at Hyde were out of work . By Mr . Atherton—I am not aware that there was any distress at that time in Hyde and the neighbourhood . I do not know that the wages were low at that time . I know nothing about the matter either one way or another .
By Mr . Pollock—I remember seeing a placard posted at Hyde , from the Executive Committee of the Chartists to the People . I think it would be from the 14 th to the 19 th of August . A grtat many people read them . I can't say how many were posted—perhaps two or three . By Mr . Dundas—I will not swear that more than one of them was posted . I have read the opening and concluding passages of the one now produced , and to the best of my belief it is a oopy . I will not swear that it is the same ; it might be wrong a word or two , or ten lines , or more . It is similar to the one I saw posted , and II believe it is the same . By Mr . Atherton—I laid the notes of the particular transactions on which I have been speaking before the magistrates every day , and gave such explanations as might be required .
By Mr . O'Connor—I prefer swearing to the n otes in the book . They are original , and not a transcript . I would not swear from memory , without the book to refresh me . John Leach and Candelet were not brought before the magistrates : they absconded . Moorhouse was brought up . I appeared against him . I believe it was on Friday , the 26 th of August . The entries in my book bringdown tbe transactions to the 20 th of August . I did not produce tbe book , when I appeared before tbe magistrates . I could explain the reason why I did not show the book . Judge—Explain it .
Witness—j found it necessary to convey the prisoners immediately away from Hyde to Stockport , in consequence of the inefficiency of the protective force , and the Magistrates committed them from there . I gave evidence from memory . I was examined before the committal of the parties . It is my duty to collect every information for the Magistrates , within my division , but I did not hear any particular expressions of distress existing . I am aware that the shopkeepers had meetings , and agreed to support tho operatives . The town of Hyde was in a state of great tumult for more than a week , but after Leaoh left , we had no further disturbances . I have not made any entry in the book as to the day on whioh I saw the placard from the Executive
Committee . The reason was , that when I pulled the placard from the wall , I delivered it to the Magistrates , and placed my name behind it . I thought it would have been here , and then I could have sworn to the hand-writing , but it is not here . It was on the 17 th of August on which Leach said he was going as a delegate to Manchester . I have stated that it was on the 18 th when he returned- At the latter meeting , t don't recollect that he said any thing about the Charter . I might have made a little interlineation in the book about the Charter , when brought before the magistrates , but not when before the Judge , The interlineation pointed out was made on the Monday morning , when I went before the magistrates . I nave not been examined since the Special Commission , at Chester . The book has not been out of my possession since , except that I gave it to a constable , wrapped in paper , to bring from the inn , at Lancaster , to the
< astle . I gave the same evidence at Chester as I am giving now . I remember perfectly that Leach spoke in a laughing manner , when he was referring to what had been said by the Mayor of Stookport , I should think that the counsel for the prosecution must have asked me respecting Leach ' s manner , from having read my depositions . I admit I may have made slight alterations in the book . The inter * lineations here appl y for nothing—( laughter ) . I might have written in the book as I should have written in any other book , but not with the intention of giving evidence . Leach was an inhabitant of Hyde ; and I paid more attention to his speeches than those of any other party , because I knew him better than any of the others . I know that Leach wan a staunch advocate of the Charter , and a strenuous opponent of the Anti-Corn Law League . Mr . O'Connor—Then you have confined all the alterations you have made in the book to the Charter f
The Attorney-General—Don ' let it be said that we have made wholesale alterations . I observe in one place there in the word " not" omitted . Mr . Dundas—There are several other alterations and not of a very trifling nature . By George Johnson , defendant—I am not aware that many distraints have been made upon the inhabitants of Hyde , during the last eighteen months , or what has been the increase in the number of paupers there . The Poor Law Guardians meet at Stockport , and not at Hyde , and therefore , I know nothing about the facts . Stockport is out of my division .
By William Pilling , defendant—I don ' t know that one factory labourer in Hyde , is now doing the work of three men . I don't know what you mean by the "coupling of jennies , " for I never was in a factory more than three times in my life . Defendant—Then you don ' t know what you ought to know—( Laughter . ) Mr . Dundas called the attention of the Court to the alterations which appeared in the book of the witness , and especially to one part of it where in speaking of one of the spee jhes made by Leaoh , the words " they should do as was done in the time of King John , the people went to the King in a large body , and demanded * Magna Charta , ' and it was granted ; and he ( Leach ) would recommend the people to keep out of work , and the Charter would soon become the law of the land , " were added after the general body of the report had been written .
The Attorney- General objected to the course of proceedings on the ground that his Learned Friends who appeared for some of the defendants , were entering upon a cross-examination of that part of the book whioh had not beon given in evidence . If they would consent to put the book before the Jury , as evidence , he should not object to the examination . Mr- Dundas did not see that he was bound to offer the book in evidence . The Judge said that Mr . Dundas had a right to shew , it' he could , the insertion of any fraudulent
matter in the book , because that would go far to impugn the general accuracy Of the whole . It was then agreed thai the book should be put in as evidenoe and Mr . Dundas proceeded with his cross-examination ; The witness , on being called npon to explain the reason of the addition to Leach ' s speech , said that he made a practice of examining all the speeches previous to submitting them to the Magistrates ; and he distinctly remembered that on looking at the one made by Leaoh , he made the addition pointed out .
The Judge—When you did make any additions , were they , to the best of your belief , in striot conformity with they truth 1 Witness—They were , my Lord . Mr . O'Connor—I find , on further looking at this book , that from the commencement of the period at which the witness aa Special High Constable of Hyde , began to make his reports to the Magistrates , to the end of the transactions , of which he has been speaking , not a eingle interlination oocurred ; but since then , they were numerous . The Judge—But that is merely an observation . Mr . O'Connor—It would go far , my Lord . to prove that the entries in the book have been taken from notes , which are not before the Court . The Attorney-General here asked bis Lordship whether he intended to take any | further witnesses to-day ! His Lordship replied that he would sit till seven o ' clock .
A conversation ensued between the Attorney-General and Mr . O'Connor , the result of which waB that Sir Frederick stated to Mr . Baron Rolfe , that he had been requested on the part of the defendants to ask that the Court might then adjourn . His Lordship hesitated , but on being informed that the application wan merely with reference to suiting the convenience of the first day , he consented $ o the adjournment , intimating that ho should sit late the following day . Tbe Court rose precisely at six o ' clock . ( Continued in our first page .
