Was the office . of any real use ? For hu " own part , he considered that tie maintenance of tbe office . -was no advantage lo $ ne country .

Itwas . paculiaHynecessaryattba present time , wfceBthecountry ¦ was in snchartate of cstreme distress , tiat they should not reckless ^ - . ^ awaytile public money . With regard to snperanns - i allowances , he thouebtftst public officers tngfefcto receive a suS » ent comp ^ rsatira for their ser-¦ vices , and that wben-tiiose services were i > o lo ger *© - quired they should have no further claim upon the c «« ntry . He was well aware that Teductions could not 1 » at once effected in these establishments , bnt he considered that tacne economical plans ought in fstore to be adopted . He asted the Hoese to consider the sufferings of the people ; they were bound to-do so ; and to think of methods of relieving , instead of asgra-~ va £ mg , the bcrSena Tinder -which "the country-groaned . He wanted to too w , -whstber the ^ Soverument bad any intention of xeHevine tfee people from the "burden of
the Income Tsc , or , if not , whether they had any of relieving the great body of the community from the pressure of icdirect taxation ? The Hon . ^ Gentleman concluded by moving his amendment , — " That at the present period of extended distress , it is . the duty of the House "to consider the aeons of lightening the pressure of taxation on the people , by reducing to the greatest practicable extent the expenses of "the military , aa well as of the dvD establishments of the country ; that therefore it is expedient , that the voting of any supplies should be postponed tail the estimates of the whole expenditure and the means to meet that expenditure be first furnished to the House . " Hz . Sdbe seconded the amendment . The ^ usstkHB harm ? been put ,
Mr Williams objected to the expense of the Irish xnd the Metropolitan police , which were , in fact , well trained military bodies , supported out « f the taxes ; « nrt inquired why the army was maintained on its present esfesTBgant footing ? The Cbasckixob . op tse Ss . cs . B < iVEs . considered that reply should he reserved till the particular estimates were under discussion . Mr . fiUHE considered fiist with proper reductions in the expense of our -establishments the income tax sight have been Tendered unnecessary . Hb supported the amendment . . QeBeralJOHXSON also thought that the amendment W a-reisoBable one . During the 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 overtaxation .
Captain Polhtlx , referred tbe cause of distress to the great and rapid increese of the population . Machinery ins the curse of the country . On a division , Mr . Crawford ' s amendment was supported by 15 , and rejected by 62 . The House then went into a committee of supply ; sod Sir Hesbt Hasdisge brought forward the army estimates . As compared with the previous year there is to be a reduction of 5 740 men , with a total saving on the entire estimates of £ 133 . O&& . The rednction in the Xtnabei of men was as luge as eoald- be tS ^ ci ^ d . at this early stage in the re-establishment of peaceful relations , keeping in view the proper relief of regiments serving abroad , and tbs effective discipline of the army . After going through the various items , he concluded by proposing the first vote , which w&s for 100 , 846 men for ifceJand service .
2 dr . Hints considered that if the somber of troops in our colonies were reduced , we could zfibrd to abolish the duties on cotton and wooL He also censured the aystem adopted towards the Boers ol the colony of the Cape of Good Hope ; and re-affirmed that our distresses arose from extravagance , as well as bad legislation . He wished the force to be reduced to what it . was in 1835 ; and proposed an amendment th&t the "vote be reduced fcy 10 . 090 men . Lord Abthvb Lennox considered that if we wished a better class of men to enter tbe army , we should increase the rate of pensions which was at present a wijaemgMn pittance of sixpence a day . Captain . Lataxd would vote for the amendment if lie were convinced that the er . dit and dignity of tbe country could be sustained by fcfce reduction , of which , however , he was sot satisfied . Mr . Witlluis regretted that Mr . Hume had not moved for a larger redaction .
Sir Hesbt Habdixgx explained that many of the Stringent regulations complained of , such as that noting to widows' pensions , were not to be attributed to the Government , upon whom they were forced bj the recommendations of the finance committee * . He denied that there were too many troops in any one of our < oloniea . After some further discussion , a divison took place on Mi . Hume ' s amendment , when it was njected by 106 to 20 . The next rote was for £ 3 629 . 327 for the expenses of the army , which was agreed to , as were the remaining Tetes The vote for the expense * of the volunteer corps was objected to by Mr , Williams , but was carried tj 98 to 28 . Sir James Graham then moved the second reading of the registration of Yatera Bill , reserving discassioa to a future stare .
The otiier orders of the day were then disposed of , aid the Honce adjourned .
HOUSE OF LORDS . —TtTESEir Feb . 28 . The Earl of Absbdkeh , in answer to a question from Lord Brougham respecting the instructions spon ¦ which our cruisers acted in their endeavours to sapptess the slave trade upon the African coast , took advantage of the opportunity tbos afforded to express Ms conviction that explanation only was necessary to remove the jealousy with which , in spite « f the anxiety of France to put an end , to the slave trade , our exertions were still regarded in that country . The instructions which had -been issned daring the last twenty years were so inconsistent that the responsibility-was frequently-thrown upon
the naval officers engaged in this service of deciding « pon most Intricate and important questions of international law , and they had , as was to be expected , in some-cases fcll » w into serious errors . "TQe ^ oTErnment felt strongly the necessity of fur-HTBTiiTig officers "witb dear . and nnequiroeal instructions upon as many points of difficulty ae-could be anticipated , and a new and explicit code , founded npoa existing treaties and th ' e law of nations , bad been accordingly prepared ; and as England had nothing to conceal—had none bnt . her extensible objects to attain—these instructions should be made public , and -would , he trusted , disabuse the candid portion of the French pnblic of the naibunded prejndioe they now entertained . —Adjourned .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesday , Feb . 28 . Tbe Solicitob-Gkxkrax moved that " The Sergeant-at-Arms and William Bellamy be allowed to appear and appeal to these actions . " "This waa an action of false imprisonment under the Speaker ' s ¦ warrant ,-which had beeen issued against the present plaintiff for a breach of privilege , ia having eonducted , as attorney , certain actions brought byene Stockdale against Mr . Hansard , tbe printer of the Bouse , for alleged libels contained in a report which Mr . Hansard had printed by its authority . The Sergeant had been served witha habeas corpus npos one of the arrests made bj bun in consequence of Stockdale ' s actions . The Attorney-General was directed by ike Honse to appear ; be did appear :
and the Court held that the Speaker ' s warrant was in itself a sufficient answer . The present action being for false Imprisonment nnder the same warrant , he -would . propose that , as before , the Honse sboold permit tbe officer to appear and plead . If they were found by the Jury to have committed anj excess in -what they iiad . done , it . was fit that they should be ^ esponsiblej if tbej were found to have committed no excess , the waruait would be their complete justification . Sir T . Wilde regarded this proposal as no less han a surrender of the pririlegesof the House .

Sir Thomas Wilde and the SoLiciTOB-GsMKaiL agreed that no important question would be prejudiced by taking out a summons to enlarge the time . Sir R . Peel , in the expectation that the lane would be enlarged , proposed to adjourn the debate , which was agreed to . Lard Ashley rose to move that an bunAle address be presented to her Majesty praying that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to take into her inttant and serious consideration tbe best means of diffusing the benefits and blessings of a moral and religious education amongst tbe workinng classes of her people . " After enlarging on the general importance of education , and tbe great increase of
population during tbe present century , be drew tbe attention of the Honse to tbe present state of crime and ignorance , and of moral and intellectual degradation in Manchester , Birmingham , Leeds , and other populous districts , among the lower classes , especially the younger portion of them . Drunkenness , cursing , promiscuous intercourse of -the sexes , ¦ were frightfully prevalent among tbe youth . They knew no religion—no God ; the only knowledge possessed by great numbers of them was that of the exploits of Dick Turpin and Jack Sheppard . There was evidence which established the fact that not less than £ 25 , 000 , 000 sterling are armutlly expanded in ardent spirits ; and it was prav&d by medical men tkat a lar ^ e proportion—perhaps half—of all tbe cases of insanity are prodnced by the intemperance thus widely prevalent .
Be was aware that what be asked would occasion some expense ; but if we would not consent to tax ourselves for the prevention of crime , we must be taxed more heavily still for Ithe 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 thetruck system , to the payment of wages at public-houses , and to tbe 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 nere net found among the insurgents in tbe late disturbances . This country owed a heavy debt to its poor , whose faults were mainly imputable to tbe neglects of those above them .
Sir J . Graeuh agreed in the acknowledgment of this debt to the poor , and deprecated , on this important disenssion of their interests , all interference of party 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 the cure of those evils as conld be enacted without a dangerous infringement upon private rights and 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 time actually occupied . Be gladly gave his support to the present motion . He feared that Protestant England had more neglected tbe grand duty of edncating 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 the public instructors must go forth . The
Government bad most anxiously considered this necessity ; and he ardently wi ° hed that the House , laying aside all religions and political differences , would join in endeavouring 10 find some neutral ground on which the Church and the Dissenters might amicably meet . He wonld now state -what had been done , and what the ministers would propose to do . In Scotland there existed a parochial system of National education ; and grants had been made by the Committee of Privy Conncilto two great normal schools which bad been established in Edinburgh and Glasgow , and from 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 ior < the formation of district schools . The children to be there instructed
should , in the first place , be orphans and other destitute paupers , or tbe offspring of poor parents willing te let them be educated there . He would attach to each school a chapel , with a clergyman who should teach the liturgy and Catechism of the Church ; tbe 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 several particulars respecting the state of some of the larger manufacturing districts , showing a total want of the means of instruction there ; and then proceeded to tbe case of children not dependent on parochial relief , but employed in factories . He would propose tbat no child shonld be suffered to work more than six hours and a balf in one day ; and that each Bhould be obliged to attend school daily for three hours . The principle upon which grants had been usually
made for the building of schools was , that twothirds of the cost should be raised by private contribution . He would recommend that for tbe future one-third only should be r < quired from private sources . The maintenance of tne 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 seven trustees , who should be , the clergyman , the two churchwardens , and four persons ' to be nominated by tbe magistrates . The trustees should appoint the master , with tbe sanction of the Bishop . No child should be required to attend the worship of the Church of England , or the religious instruction imparted by the master , if the fnends of such child should object to bis being brought up in conformity with the Church of England . These provisions , he trusted , would protect all classes , and afford complete security against all attempts atproselytism .
Lord Jobs Russell felt tbat the sums heretofore voted for the great purpose of education 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 , be would not , without more mature consideration , pronounce an opinion ; bnt as between the Church and the Disserters , he regarded the principle of them as one which ought not to be opposed by those who bad the great object of education really at heart . He illustrated the necessity of interposition upon this subject , by some evidence of tbe state of spiritual ignorance in the West Riding of Yorkshire , and expressed bis opinion , that when a plan -was thus fairly brongnt forward with a view to
reconcile the consciences of all denominations , it would be not only folly , but wickedness , on the part of the House to reject it . His own objection waa only that the scale of the provision was not large enough . Any plan for a purpose like thiB could be effected only by an Executive Government generally Bupperted . He insisted on the importance of providing competent schoolmasters , and retaining them by sufficient inducements ; 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 withoutvuiy real understanding or feeling of it : and
where t master was well fitted for bis duties , he was tempted to quit them by finding tbat he could get a better remuneration for his talents elsewhere . Some difilcnlty occurred in tbe unwillingness ol parents themselves to let their . children attend school ; and he wished some means to be cossidered by which that unwillingness might be removed . £ . e suggested also tbe expediency of providing same education for the . classes above the poorest , so tbat the Email farmers and tradesmen m ^ bt net entertain a jealousy of the superior meaneof education afforded to their workpeople .
Lord Sandok expressed his satisfaction at the prospects whicasShis evening had opened . Mr . Ewaut < £ esired to iwaive theological differences , for the sake of the great objeot new in view . £ ir C . Bcrsell concurred . Mr . Shaw was disappointed that Dothing bad been said about the extension of the educational principle to Iceland . Mr . C Bullbb reminded the Honse of the vast total « f charity funds specifically applicable to education , amounting to about £ 300 , 000 a year . There was asother class of e&arities , founded for giving Email suns to the poor . Such small sums were not only useless , bnt mischiewms ; they were generally
expended in drink , and would bo much better applied in education . The amount of tbe foundations for this purpose was not less than £ 170 , 000 a year . Sir R . Ikglis rould not approve , in a system of national education , the avowal of an intention to exclude proselytism ; since it must always be a duty to attempt the propagation of what we ourselves believed to be the truth . Still less could be approve the suggestion of diverting any charitable foundations froa the purposes of their founders , anless those purposes could be proved to be immoral . Sir Geobcs Gsxt bailed the prospect of improvement which now appeared to present itself through tbe cordial spirit of all parties . He believed tbat Lord Cottenb&m was in communication with tbe Government on the subject of a legislative measure for rendering certain classes of educational charities more available than at present .
Sir B . Peel said , that unless conviction were brought borne individually to the mindB of all men in the wealthier classes that they themselves had shared tbe guilt of neglect in this matter , the good effected thw evening would be bntimperfeot . With respect to the objection on the jrubject of proselytism , the question was one of balance between good and evil and he was not willing , tor the sake of the occasional good of conversion , to let tbe present enormous evils , moral and religions , continue to press upon ns . He would be content to admit some modifications of educational charities , where tbe change of times and circumstances bad rendered the original pnrposes impracticable ; bnt he could not concur in a proposal for diverting , even to bo good an object as that of education , a beqHest in tended for email donations to the poor . He de anaeatfte limited scale on which . Government pro

osed to begin their plan . Success in the manufacturing districts , where the experiment was first ; to be attempted , would open the way for it in the rural parts of tbe kingdom . Mr . Hawes thought the DiBsenters would not ; like a trust of which the 6 lergyman of the parish was to be at the head . Mr . Acland was content that the comprehensive ' principle should be adopted in publio schools ; bat be hoped that Government would not discourage the establishment also of such schools as private parties might wish to found for the education of children in the principles of the Church of England alone . Mr . Smith O'Bbikn expressed himself but little satisfied . Lord Ashley , in reply , thanked the House for the reception which it had given to his motion , which was then unanimously carried , and tbe House adjourned .

CContinued from our Fifth Page . ) ' away to their homes . I attended a meeting on the following morning , the 9 th , ia the Market-place , Hyde , at nine o ' clock in the morning . Moorhouse was chairman , and John Leach and George Can * delet were present . They also spoke . I have notes of Leach's speech . He informed the meeting that " they intended to ' go and join the Ashton people ; from Ashton they would go to the Exchange , at Manchester , where they would meet the cotton lords , and be doubted not that they would have the advance ; and never to go to work until they had either the advance or the Charter . " I dont
remember anything further that was said . I remember the day on which Messrs . Horafield ' s mill was stopped . It was on Tuesday , the 9 th . 1 saw a number of people going towards the mill . There was a large body coming from the direotion of Ashtpn and Stalybridge , towards Hyde . They were not walking in any sort of form . On Wednesday , August 10 th , there was a meeting at Hyde , at which Moorhouse , George Candelet , and John Leach were present . 1 have merely an outline of the notes . The speakers desired the people to be quiet . Moorhouse said they were to proceed to Compst&ll-bridge , Glossop , and all the mills , and make the bands turnout . Leann spoke . but I have not bis speech down . The substance of his speech was recommending the people
to teep out , but exhorting them to be peaceable and quiet . In the evening of the 11 th 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 Institution , and they bad come to a resolution that they would keep the turn-outs for two weeks ; but he requested that they would not be led to put any trust in the false shopkeepers . He further said he wished the people of Hyde to be true one to another , and on the following Wednesday they would be met by Air . 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 . Candelet followed nearly in the same strain . Hyde was in a very riotous
state the same day , and all the week . Labour was completely stopped . A very large number of persons came iuto Hyde . The ; were walking in a sort of broken procession , with clubs and sticks in their bands . They went towards Stockport . There were two departures , one in the morning , and the other in the evening ; that in the morning was tbe largest . I was at a meeting on Friday , the 12 th of August , in the Market p ace , Hyde . Several hundred 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 , and be for one would go to the masters , as he knew they could not get the Charter at present . He demanded a show of bands in favour of going to work , but he was hissed down . Leach next addressed the
meeting . He told them that a man named Rayner , 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 , but he wished them to be quiet and true to one another , aud 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 tbat he headed the people up when they went to the bastile for bread , and blood would have been shed if he bad not pr < vented it . The Mayor of Stockport
had shown him a drawer which had been broken open and £ 7 stolen , but be ( the speaker ) wished them not to do any thing of the sort . He said this in a Jatighing sort of a way . He added , that the Mayor of Stockport and hundreds of others bad ^ Ujld him " that there was plenty in the store wms and mills , and if they would not give to the people , let them take it . " The Jndee—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 the people to do as the mayor recommended , but to do as was done in the time of king John , when Magna C / tarla was obtained in one day . The people-went in a body to the Kiotfi and it was granted . He advised them to he true one to another and the Charter would soon become tbe 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 , aud 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 "navies" wero in great distress , aud wanted support , but they might do as they pleased , as the Mayor of Stockport said , go to the stores and help themselv * s . Leach said he did not advise so , but when a great man like the M ^ yor advised them so , they might please themselves . Some of tbe excavators swore they would act on this recommendation , and go to the first Bhop aud help themselves . A provision shop was near at band , and a rush was made towards it , but one of tbe navigators stopped them . Candelet then began to address the meeting , and I was obliged to' leave to attend tbe magistrates . I remember being at the Sheffield and Manchester railway on tbe
same day . There was 4 large number Of them _ assembled , who conducted themselves very riotously . A detachment of tbe rifle company of brigade arrived , and I left them with the magistrates . On tbe 14 th of August , I was at a meeting at Mottram Moor , about half-past two in the afternoon . Wild , Carteledge , and another man , whose name I understood to be Glossop , were there . Wild was the chairman . He opened the meeting by recommending tbe 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 tbe following Tuesday morning , at
four o ' clock , again in the same place , and in procession they would go to Manchester . 'On the morning of the IStb , 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 beep out until tbe Charter became the law . On tie evening of the same day , at eight o ' clock , another meeting was held . Moorhouse spoke , but he simply announced a meeting for the evening of the following day _ I went to it . Booth and Moorhouse were these . The former spoke at great length . He held in
a iaj ^ ge sized placard his band , which I heard him read . Ho began by saying what an expense the Queee was to poor people , what quantities of wine she draak —( laughter )—what large quantities of spirits flfce drank , the number of fat oxen she consumed , tbe large number of sheep and lambs she eat , and that f&e cost the poor people annually £ 160 , 000 . At this tteae there was a report that the Magistrates were < eoming to take them , and Moorhouse leaped from the waggon , and said a meeting would take : place on ihe following morning , at tax o ' clock . At eight o ' clock a meeting w& 3 held in tbe Market-place , Hyde , Moorhouse acted as ckairman , and Candelet , Le&eh , and Booth , and a man named Barlow , a factory operative , were present . An
excavator got upon Ihe 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 was sent from Manchester to inform the people of Hyde that be 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 posted on the trails before tbat time ; ( A copy was produced , and pat in . It was dated August 13 , 1842 , and offered a reward of £ 50 for the apprehension and convict i on of the rioters . ) Candelet said he did not care a straw for the
proclamation , as their meetings were IegaL and held in the day time , to conduct tbe interests of the poor ; that special constables and soldiers would be no use ; thatbayonetB in eight days time , will be of no uee ; delegates were going about in the agricultural districts , warning and turning the labourers out , —all except tbe millers and reapers of grain ; but in fact they were all nearly out ; then where would the military and special constables bet But as I am to be in Manchester at ten o ' clock this morning , I must conclude by telling you tbat when in the Hall last nigbt , at six o ' clock , Mr . Beswick , superintendent of police , entered , and told the people that be was sent by the Magistrates , to inform the people there assembled that they were not allowed to bold their meetings any longer while the town was in that disturbed state . Three magistrates entered , and gave the people tea minutes

time to disperse , but in five minutes ( said Leach and Candelet ) they were all gone . The battle was part wpn , and let us be true to one another , afi " d never submit to go to work until we get all points of the Charter . John Leach next spoke . lie said be was appointed one of the delegates to fthe great National Conference , and at ten o ' clock he had to meet M'DouaIl , for be bad sent him word that he longed to s « e 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 become the law of the land . He made some observations about the shop * keepers , saying tbat they were a bypooritioal set , and so on . I attended another meeting at half-past seven in the evening of the 18 th , in the Marketplace , Hyde . Leach was present . He commenced
railing against the shopkeepers and the middle classes . Moorhouse , who was in the chair , said that there waB a delegate from Glossop , and Leach began to tell the meeting how much money bad been expended by tbe Spinners' Union , not one penny of which had been spent for the Charter . He went on to say—does hot 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 tho people to be united , and so long as he lived , he would agitate , for the aristocracy of the country was bad , and , without alteration , would soon be worse . During the time I have been speaking of , the mitts 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 oneway or another . By Mr . Pollock—I remember seeing a placaro 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 copy . 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 1 saw posted , and I believe it is tho same .
By Mr . Atherton—I laid the notes of tbe 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 ray book bringdown tbe transactions to the 20 th of August . I did not produce tbe book , when I appeared before the magistrates . I could explain the reason why I did not show the book . Judpe—Explain it .
Witness— \ 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 meetiugs , and agreed to support tho operatives . The town of Hyde was in a state of great tumult for more than a week , but after Leach left , we bad no further disturbances . I have not made any entry in the book as to tbe day on which 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 bave 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 Leaoh said he was going as a delegate to Manchester . I have stated tbat it was on the 18 th when he returned . At tbe latter meeting , I don ' t recollect that he said any thing about the Charter . I might bave 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 have not been examined since the Special Commission , at Chester . The book has not been out of my possession since , except tbat I gave it to a constable , wrapped in paper , to briDg from the inn , at Lancaster , to the
< astie . I gave tbo same evidence at Chester as J 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 Stockport , 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 interlineations here apply 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 knew that Leach was 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 ?
The Attorney-General—Don't let it be said that we have made wholesale alterations . I observe in one place there if 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 Ssookport , 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 moan 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 speeches made by Leach , tho words " they should do as was done in the time of King John , the people went to tbe 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 tbat his Learned Friends who appeared for some of the defendants , ware entering upon a cross-examinatiou of that part of the book which bad not becu given in evidence . If the ; would consent to put the book before the Jury , as evidence , he should not objeot 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 , if 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 tbat the book should be put in as evidence and Mr . Dundas proceeded with his cross-examination . The witness , on being called upon 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 thorn to the Magistrates ; and he distinctly remembered that on looking at the one made by Leaoh , he made tbe addition pointed out .
The Judge—When you did make any additions , were they , Lo the best of your belief , in strict conformity with they truth ? 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 as 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 single interliuation occurred ; but since then , they were nutaerous . The Judge—Bat that is merely an observation . Mr . O'Connor—It would go far , my Lord , to prove that the entries in the book bave been taken from notes , which are not before the Court . The Attorney-General here asked his LordBhip 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 was that Sir Frederick stated to Mr . Baron Bolfe , 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 was merely with reference to suiting the convenience of the first day , he consented to the adjournment , intimating that he should sit late the following day . - The Court rose precisely at six o'clock . / Continued in our first page .
