When we proposed to elect a clerk , there was some disturbance , but it was Dot a lt very x ^ rong meeting . " That meeting was adjourned ut ; tii the 5 th of Jane , and thru was indeed stormy , > o mur-h > o , ibat & proposal wag made by Mr . Moorbouse , that the riot act should be read . I wax called to the chair at the first meeting . The Gunrdiani refused to elect a cltrk , but said tLey Were willing toeltct a . registrar . Oa Jute the 30 ; b , a

    peremptory order cane down from London , rtq'iiring " the Guardian *? to elect a clerk oh the 16 fu of Jtfi y , at the Albion Held . " Previous to that , about the i 2 th of July , they had sent a letter , and a petition was ta \ ivd about in answer to it , but I don ' t know whether it was sent or Hot . The witness aid , Mr . Mcorhouse was elected chairman . On the 16 tii of July , a meeting was held at the Albion Hotel , ar rather Tavern—there is no ? uch place as j ^ lbjoo Motel . The meeting jeparated without proceeding to the election of & clerk . In September

    , they again met , and adjourned over the seswoua to Jariuary , and at the October sessions , J \ lr . Brook and Mx . Starlteywere qualified as magistrates , and took tlpeir seat * at the Boa . rd as ex ojficia Guardians . On the 12 th of . January we again met . Those who attended at that meeting were many of them . against the appointment of any elerk—I beliere the n » 5 « j > rity of them , though no motion on that subjret was put . Two candidates were propoied , -Messrs . Floyd and West , and the former bad the largest number of votes given by those who caose

    to vote . Rf-exanv . Tied . — I thick there were eight Guardi . ins who toted for Mr . Fic-rd , and " six for Mr . Be * p .

InMarcfc , 1838 , a new election of Guardians took place , -and their first meeting was fixed for the 9 ch of April , . when Mr . TTm . Brook was appointed chairmaD , and Mr . Sidney Moorbouse , vice-chairman . On the 7 tb of

    May , tbtre was a meeting of tho Guardians at the Albion Tavern . Mr . Brook being absent , Mr . Moorhonsp , as -rice-cbairman , was called oa to preside . There might be about twelve Guardians tht-n present . Nineteen Guardians came iato tke ICoort Hocne wbiie I was reading the notices of ' marriage , attended by a large number of person * .

When Mr .

    Moorhouse declared tbe meeting adjourned , muny of the Guardians went away , but 1 did not . Oh attempting to do so , Mr . Hirst said " He shan ' t yo ; he ' s our servant , and he shall do our work , " at the * ame time putting his fist towards my faee , but he never hit me . I then felc myself in ' a delioate situation , and on looking round to observe whether any friends were present , I saw Parkin , who said , "God d—n thy soul to hell , tbou ha * no business b ^ -re ; if thna does not get dow . o directly , I ' ll knock thy head off , again putting , his fi * t op , in a menacing manner . 1 then found roy situation had become desperate , I addres-ied a few

    observations to tne meettrg , telling them that I ought not to be detained a prisoner there . They beard me very patiently . I told them also that lVished to do inj duty , but I would noc submit to their dietatitc , until I had ascertained what that duty wa « .

A something took pu . w as to the right of Guardians to vote , and some were struck off ; I believe Cook ' * election was not considered befare thyt ; I-will swear 4 e the best of rr . y belief it wan tot . I said 1 believed an exojit-io Guardian ought to take the chair until the return * were examined upon myoatn I did not tell Mr .

    said that was the prbper courte . I cajjnot tell . how many of those friend * of Mr . Cook , who were prew cm ted from voting , were afterwards found-to have tbe legal right . Tell me tbe names , and I'll tell you . Was DitMn-on ' s election found to be legal ? Yes it was . _ Was Taylor ' , election found to b * Ie-al ? Yea , it wis ; but the Commissioriefs did act act fair . Ob ! as io the faimefs , we shall Rud tt-at out bye and bye : they say yon did not act fair — ili-. it « aj a counl-il of scrutiny aupolnteU in August ? Y- ^ s , it was . The council were appointed from both Mde * of the hoa * e , I think the ftssi-tant Cointni- } - siohtr was present when that council was appointed but I won ' t swear . There were some words which

    Satcliffs said about giving a casting vote ; but I don ' t think he made any pledge any way on taking tbe ch . iir . But I know when the result of the division was announced , Mr . Sotciiffe-swd , "I ' girea easting vote for Mr . "W illiam Btook ; ' , : " Mr . Moor- ' house had a clear m ? jorify of one , there beibg 17 ior Mr .

Senior Having leftlh ' e ^ ooi ^ On the 17 th of April , I know that aproie * twM sent id , signed by nineteen Guardians , ' against tbe legality of the elections , and Air . Clay asked , as a favaor , that he might be heard 6 n their benalf , but one of the Guardians objecting , his request wks not complied tritb . Wai tbe protest never received ?

    No , it was never received as an act of the Board ? Was it ever received at all ? "U pon my word , we ' ve had «) many petitions , remonstrances , and other nonsense , that I don ' t recollect . ' There was much argument at the meeting . I believe part of that was about Cutuberworth ? Ob ^ there is no such place . The assembling on the 7 th of Jviay , before 11 , were .. Mr . Brook ' s Iriends . From seeing in the paper * that Mr . O'Connor was coming , we pushed oa bu-iiDe ^ s , aod . ^ tarted directly it-wwril o ' clock . I think that Mr . Moorbou * e mightoDce stand befweea Mr . Cook and tbe meeting , after tbe « bair had been taken frem the forcntr . It -wasimf ' osyible to tell tne majority for Mr . Cook © wing to the disturbance

    There was a cloud of bandi held up in his favour . There was no blow struck that I saw during ' tbe disturbancfi . I cannot tell whether the majority Guardiins opposed the motion fox « djoumraent , as I wa * lookiDg afttr my own safety . 1 heard , it stated they were going to elect another elerk ; 1 had no peculiar interest in that ; it ' s a matter of little impbnance to me . I was lookiDg to eelf-preservation . I expected nothing but to have been kicked out of the window . The majority Guardians u « ed very , bud language the majority Guardians did not—thry were verv qaiot fLirognter . ) "White I was sitting at the desk , Mr .

And here there was not a tittle of evidence to suppor t the riot , nnd rout , and the conllbiracy , charged in the indictmeut—it is perfectly ridiculous .

FoargusO'CtHino . r and Mr . Stepht > u * ywho went with a po&e ' comilatuii and a great rabble at their heels . Why , ia it not manifest there was a rabble , there beforft ? There wns a great com / iliunt abont the people being theru—bnt why did not the Ministerial Guardian * direct that the Hall should be cleared , or that the people sh'inld not be admitted at all ? It * howed the expectation of all was , that there ; wa 3 to be only th » s legal and expected debate as to the election of chairman . What then became of the charge ot coiispiraey ? It seemed a congregation ot' pers . uis

    wori . in -the ' Court House—that Mr . O'Connor ami Mr Stephens bad comt—what was that to the opposition Guardians ? It would be hard , because tw ^ o utbti ' r gf uvlemeiu who had acquired a . certaia degreo of celebrity in tjiese days , rendered their assistance , the whole 'Guardians ot these township * were to be chnrgel-with" Hail , fellow , well met , " with those two persons ; and that the halloo . i of the mob were te- "be '* -Is » nl ¦«> " their-charge . It possessed'two apparently opposite qualities—it was absurd and uuju . st , Gonld 'tiit-y doubt that tbe recrimination wonld be mutual ? Did tlmy belieA-e there would be an acquiescBHce or re .-istunceon the part of the minority ? it they hue acquit seed , the business would have gone on in a . proper and orderly manner .

C . mld thev doubt that hisparty would have been . liaMe . to bringexactly tbe same charge again > t the Ministerial liuardians wiiicbhad been brought "by them agam .-t tire opposition ? It was obviou * , tl at every tuicrliun was made by one party to preserve possHSMon ef the chRir & book f i ^ oi tlie other to obtain it . It seemed to him this meeting was not one which , ought to have been taken tip in the manner it bad been by Government—it * eemed to him that at meetingsof this kind thertf ought to be some latitude ' of discussion . Ibis was indeed a brtd precedent for the jpnuishment ot discussions at public boards . Taere wonldbea good fleal of warmth , and never was there a period mour history when public feeling wnsso mnch excittjd as at the preseat moment . All men have i » ow becoma politicians , and at all public meeting !* there was an / exuberance oi ' expression and

    exciwuifDt-of leehngv ¦ which though it mkht break forth into tbe menacing attitudes describe ^ by some and the coarse language detailed by others , ' ougut ne ver te be meddlua with , by Government , lor some particular purpose , in ex qfficid informations and CTiminaV indictments . After , observing on tlie evidence , aad tne fact of Haley , the constable , not having been called , he observed—if there had been a'iwm fide intention to punish the breakers of the public peacf , and no other motive to actuate—no other object to be gained—why was this offence allowed from Muy to October , where the indictments ? Having mentioned this point for your consideration , 1 submit that , while one party did all they could to get pas-session of the book and the chair , the other did all in their power to maintain feoth ; and " such being the case , 1 trust yon will consign the defendants to puniijiment—and perhaps imprisonment- — uuder tiiirf criminal indictment .

    The followiug witnesses , were then called for the defence : — Timothy Bradley was present at the Board of Guardians oh the 7 th ot May ; he was not a Guardian , but merely a spectator . A dispute arose , and au objection was ta ^ en , that Sidney iyloorhoose wna not duly elected as vice-chairman . A motion was made by James Brookitbat Mr . Cboke shonld be the chainnan . The Gnardiacs and these claimiug to be Guardians were on the platformf-those in favour of the new law * ocenpied the right of the chair , and those against it prere on the left . Three and twenty voted tor the motion . A qnestion Was raftd «* that Mr . Sidney Moorhouse should leave the chair ; he rurowd to do Ml Another chair was brougbtiiiud placed on the riebt hand of Mr .
