I asked Mr . Muntz to beexanuned , asIbelieTedhe would not hare taken 5 false oath , if the policeman would , but the magistrates said , Mr . Muntz was not required , there were -witnesses enough . Policeman No . " 27 was then sworn , and said he was witness to the blowg , but he did not State under what circnmstaneoe they were given , nor did the magistrates enquire . The magistrates committed me to take my trial for the assault . I tried to send to my friends , with the Tiew of getting bail , and for "this purpose applied to one of the Birmingham police , and offered to pav anything in reason for ^ n ^^^^^

      the trouble . He did not do so , and afterwards told jnehehadnot had time to do it . The nest day , Sunday , I was taken with -others to'Warwick gaol where I laynntfl eight o ' clock on Monday night ' when I was sent for before a magistrate , to enter iuto mynwn recognizances , . my father and . Mr .-Chilton having , as I learnt , already given bail | n Birjiingham- I was bound .-to answer acT cEarge which might be preferred at the asskLv I attended at the asaz . es , a bill was found for the assault . lpleaded not guilty on the Friday , and on Wednesday following I was bronght up for trial , when one ol the counsel brieny stated to the court that I was charged with the assault , but that lie declined to otter any evidence , and 1 was discharged b t . of

The policemen seemed sober . When the police laid hold of me , 1 did not resist or struggle . Even if I had been gmitv , there was not die least necessity to have wrack me , In order to hare taken me into custody . On the ioad-to the Police-office , Policeman jSo . 1 struck me several times with Mb slot " . 1 was then walking quietly along with them , and did not resist , or express any unwillingness to go . I told them not to knock me about , I wonld go anywhere with them . On the way , Policeman > o . 1 said to me , " You struck me , did you P I said 1 hare not , and you know that very well ; " ' he

We were men . in High-street , about ten or twenty yards aboTe the end of Jloor-street .

      dis-, tance round . - - James Gretton , of No . 3 , Ludgate Hill , press tool maker , examined : —I have observed the Bull Sing meetings on several occasions , when passing down , tout nerer stopped to hear what was said . They were always Tery quiet , and I never experienced any annoyances or obstruction from them . When Lsaw them , the roadway and footpaths were always clear and persons and vehicles pissed along without any obstruction . On Monday , the 8 th of July , I had been into Digbeth , abont nine o ' clock in the" evei-in " As I came up High ^ treet , a large body of the London police were coming down ; there was no crowd , and nothing more than the ordinary traffic going on they halted a few yards before thev came to the end

      of > ew-street , whereupon I stopped upon the footpath . I saw two of the policemen running after several persons who were walking along , anglV , and , as it seemed , npon their business . One of the policemen shoved a man , who was walking on , with bis staff , saying " d—n you , move on , or we'll put gome life into yon , or take that out yon have gotin . " 1 was only two or three yards distant , and distinctly h-ard these words ; it occurred upon the footpath in -Hign-st , The man hadnotbeenstanding , and seemed desirous of getting on as fast as he could .- When so treated by the policeman , he . quickened Ms pace , and went off . He seemed like a working man . Directly ^ te was another re spectable man , who » eemed like a tlerk , commg in the same orderly wav , when-another of the policemen-went after him . and

      shoved him on with his staff , telling him to move " on ; he followed Mm to the corner of ^ ew-street , the man kept moving on without speaking , and when near the corner of Jiew-street , the policeman strnck him a blow with his staff ; the man said nothing bnt moved off . I saw the police go after several other ' persons , shoving them on ; some they stopped and searched their persons , bnt 1 did not see that they found anything . The people I ia-re described were all moving on ,, and there was no resistance offered . The people were not shouting , nor offering any insult whatever to the police , or others . I was not molested ; and , although I was standing to observe what passed , I was not told to more on . . Edward Savage , of "So . 13 . Great Bow-street ,

      shoemaker , examined—I work for Mr . George Hames , of Bell BarnBoad . On the evening of the loth of Jnly , between seven and eight o ' clock , 1 left my employ , and went , with two or three neighbours , to attend a meeting at Hollowly Head . The last speaker had just finished , and was descending the chair . A man got npon the chair , and ' directed the people to go round by Lucy ' s Mill , down Holloway Head , and u ^ Suffolk-street , along Ann-street , and down Bull-street , and then they might go where they Eked , meaning , as I understood , that they were then to break up , and go home . Another got up , and told them to go across the green instead of round the mill , as the nearest way , which they did , arm in arm . I and William Cooper , who was with me , went on . first to the bottom of Suffolk-street , where

      we stopped till the procession came up . There was a great number present . Henry "Wilke 3 then got npon some steps , and told them to go down Smallbrook-street , along St . Martin ' s-lane , down Digbeth , and along the Warwick Road , to meet Lovett and Collins , who were coming from Warwick that night . I left him speaking , " having heard him say nothing more than what I have stated . I said to Cooper . w Come on , 1 dare say the greater part of the mob will go-through tie Bull Ring , and we ^ ll stand by Nelson's monument and see them pass . " We went accordingly , and staid by the monument till the mob came , which -was in about four or fire minutes after we got there . The greater part went aloeg St . Martin's Lane , but

      300 ot 4 AK ) came np Spiceal-street ^ and then down the Bull King towards Digbeth . The mob had not then , or any of them , as I saw , any weapons of any kind , not even sticks . The mob having passed , I and Cooper went to the end of Moor-street , where a parcel of people , about a dozen , were talking-1 observed , ia particular , a man in a barruga * ' jacket addressing five or six persons around him . I did not hear What le said , but a London policeman came up to him and collared him . The man said , " Wh 3 t are you going to take me for ? " Policeman said , "I . have heard enough of what you have said . " Then another policeman laid hold of Mm , and the two were taking Mm away up Moor-street . Some of those whom he had been addressing cried * Don't let them take him , "

      and went and collared the policeman . A struggle wot place ; in the course of which the man was rescued , having loet Ms hat . — The police strnck three or fonr who assisted to get Mm away . _ There were no blowB given in return ; and directly the man was reseued-they all ran away . The man ran down the Bull Ring without his hat , followed by myself and companion , and about a dozen others . When near the Cock , pump , the man stopped , and we came Tip with Tiinv The man aid , "Let ' s go along the Warwick road , and ieUibe mob . " They all agreed , and started off ; the man who iad been rescued running Jrst , without

      Ms hat . I and my companion followed him as far as Deritend Bridge , when we lost sight of him . T ¥ e continued on along High-street , " Deritend , until we St by Trinity Chapel , when we were overtaken by e man who had been rescued , who then had a hat on . There were abont a dozen people with him . We went on towards Spark Brook ; and , when about a , hundred yards from the chapel , we overtook the mob , who ¦ were . going on slowlytowards ^ . Warwick road . "They were not then armed even with gtickcjWere not shouting , or doing more than enoonrs ^ ing one another to goon to meet Lovett and ColliBB- jFhey were not so numerous as when they pa ^ ed by the Bull Ring .

      Totsdat , Sepi . 17 . - Mr-AldehnanSterge in the chair . The examination of Edward" Savage was resumed this morning and is as follows i—When the man who had been rescued got np to th emob , lie went amongst them , and said , the London police were dropping on the people in the Bull Ring . I was about three jards from him when he said this , and I am quite sure he addressed the mob as I have stated . From die way te spoke he mightbeieard by £ fty or sixt / , ^ nd they directly told it to others , so that it qmekly ^ read through the whole . The man also said , " ^ They , tthe police ) had tried to take him , but he had got awayfrom them ; and tiiat they ( the mob ) were cowards lf-they did not eoback and hammer ' emT O ^ of the mob ' a voutv about elehteen , th . en jumped over some

      wooden TJailmgs , which were before a garden opposte to &e SMp public-k > a 5 C , and in lie main road between Bradford street and RaTenhurst-street - , and , saying , " Come on my lads , weTl-giTe it em ; pushed down the paOings from the made into fiie road . About twohundred of the mob , which was about a quarter of the whole , then broke up the . pailings , and , arming themselves with them , turned round , and proceeded by way of J > entend and Digbeth , towards the Bull King . - There were a great manr women with the mob . _ I aad my companion left them , and went doira Bradford-street ; and many of those whe did not arm went in tne same direction , and also down Cheapside . I heard some of these say , they would not go with those who had armed , through fear of the solders .. My compani . jii accompanied me across SmiiKfield , and sp Jamijca-row , as far as Scudmore ^ j whtn helciiioe ,

      saying he was afraid of the soldiers . I continued on np Spioeal-street and Hi gh-street , and stopped at the end of Aew-Btreet . When I passed up Highrtre . it , the armed mob had not arrived . At that time there were more people than usual moving up and down the Bull Ring , but there were none stationary It was light , and I could see clearly down the Bull Bang . I had not stood at the corner of Aew-street many minutes before I Baw the mob coming np the BuU Ring , from Digbeth . They none of . them seemed very willing to come on ; and some few walking by their side encouraged them by beckoning them , and a man who stood a little above Moor-street , cried out , " Come on . " I should think the mob at this time was not auite 200 : and as

      they approached 3 Ioor-street . I observed one man among them armed with an iron bar , five or six feet long , forked at one end . It looked like a prop . The man who had it had on a velveteen jacket , and appeared to be a boatman . There were also two other men with flannel jackets on , who looked like lime burners . Most of the persons composing' the mgb . i appeared ^ W under twenty-one years of age , and tfio § e who came first appeared to be very young men . There were no women among them . 1 Eawthem turn out of the Bnll Ring into Moor-street . Some of the mob , however , stopped at the end of Moorstreet . The shops were mostly shut when I first went up High-street , and wheTi it became known that the mob wcrecomingarmed , ihcremainderofthe

      shops were hastilv closed , when the mob turned into Moor-strcet , 1 left the corner of New-street , and passed down Carr ' s-lane into Moor ^ street , and stood at the end of Castle-street , with some coachmen . The mob was then in front of the Public-Ofiice , shouting and crying , " Come out , and we'll give it you . " I heard some ^ windows broke , and then saw a piece of paling throwu against the Public Office windows . The mob did not stand close together ^ and I could have passed through them without difficulty . To the best of my knowledge , there were not moro than 150 persons , and they were mostly strong lads . livery time a window broke , ! = omeof them ran away , as if afraid . 1 heard a cry that the police were coming with fire arms , and the

      mob ran along Moor Street to the Bull Ring ; this was about ten minutes after I first saw them in front of the Public Office . I did not see the police come out . At the same time the cry of police was given , it was said the soldiers were coming . I then went up Castle-street , and Union-street , and . down the Lnion-passage into New-street , when I saw a good many people going up New-street , looking behind them , as if in expectation of" the soldiers . Some of them had pieces of paling in their hands , others threw them down in the street . They were not walking in a body , but straggling along . I there again saw the man with the iron bar . I went down New-street and High-street , as far as Philip-street . There was then scarcely anv body in

      the Bnll Ring . I stood at the corner of PMlip-street a minute or two , and saw some of the mob with the palings at the bottom of the Bull Ring towards Digbeth , and others at the bottom of Spiceal- street , by Mr . Sjudamore ' s : 1 walked down towards the latter , and heard some young chaps among them say , " Come on , let ' s go and drop on the police , as they <; ome out . " They then all moved up Spiceal-street and towards Moor street , and called out to those at the bottom of the Bull Ring , and to others near the corner of New-street , to come to them , and they did come . I do not think that altogether they amounted , at this time , to quite a hundred . I came and stood in the Bull Rang , near the church gates , and heard some of the mob at the corner of Moor-street sav

      that if they went up Moor-street , the soldiers wouli come in both direction ? , and the police would then came out and cut them up . There were then many persons standing on the footpaths looking on , as if from curiosity , but in no way encouraging the mob . I thenleft , and went home to my supper . 1 am not aware that any -windows had been then broken , except at the Public-Office . I was not armed myself , and took no part whatever in the proceedings of themob at any time , but observed all 1 liave described from curiosity . 1 did not hear the bellman . that day giving notice of a meeting at Holloway Head . " 1 had heard that such notice Lad been givenj and that Mr . Attwood . was to take the chair . It was in consequence of this that I went to the meeting . After I got home , 1 heard that Mr . Bourne ' s house was on fire , but I did not go to see . I am in regular employment , and have worked tor

      my present employer four years , and am just turned twentv-one * years of " age . I did not hear any ef the mob say anything about burning or destroying property . Their only object seemed to be to drop on the London police . I heard one of the mob say he should be glad to help them , for one of them " ( the police ) broke his head last week . The mob seemed always so much afraid , that 1 believe , had . the police at any time come out , they would have all run away . After the mob passed throughthe Bull Ring , on theirway to the Warwick Road , I saw Wilks come up the Bull Ring towards New-street . When the rescued man asked the mob to come back and drop on the police , some few of them objected , and said , ** Lets go on , acdmeet Lovett and Collins , and hear what they have got to say ; " but there was no regular speech made . I never belonged to the Political Union , or Chartists , or anything else .

      WEDXESnAT . The Committee sat this day for an hour , after which they adjourned to to-morrow . Mr . Fazzelle was under examination when our reporter left .

      DONCASTER MEETING , 1839 . STEWARDS . 77 «; Bight Honourable tlie Earl of Chester / kid , and George Lane For , Esq ., M J .

      IIoxdat , Sept . 16 . Notwithstanding the extraordinary excitement -with respect to the * ' Great Xorthem Meeting" tbiagfear , the anticipations which were indulged In -with regard to tlie attendance of company , have not been realised . This may , perhaps , partly be attributed to the unfavourable state of the weather . The quantity of rain that had fallen on Sunday night was very great ; in the neighbourhood of Doacast « r we perceived several fields of wheat were flooded , the damage done to which ire are afraid will be considerable . Some of the roads ¦ were

      also so much impeded by the flood , as to be rendered impassable . The i&eing on Monday nvith tie exception of the Champagne Stakes * was only indifferent , but to the sportsmen present on Tuesday , the race for the St . Xeger must have been a rich treat , although many would , no doubt , be disappointed at the performances of the celebrated Bloomsbnry , yet it may , we think , be considered a remarkable epoch in a man ' s life time to hare seen a dead heat for the SL Leger , a circumstance which , in all probability , may not occur a * ain during the lives of the majority of those who were present oa Tuesday last

      desirous of having sufficient display for the powers of his horse pulled him towards tho middle of the course , and seemed quite confident of the race . Here a beautiful struggle ensued , Lancelot finally winning by about a neck . JFrom the result of this race it may be inferred that the quality of the horses engaged are superior to those engaged in similar contests for some years , and which will , no doubt , « peak well for the next year ' s St .. Leger . Brother to Touchstone is a fine stout house , and defeated his opponents in a style which must place him high in the estimation of the public for tho contest of the ensuing year , although it should be remembered that the other "horaes ran in a style which shows that the racing qualities which they possessare decidedly of the first order . The contest for this race wo may say , indeed , a fiuer , a more rapid race was never seen for the Champagne .

      As the hour approached for the decision of tlie great event of tau -week , the anxiety iucrcusciL The - toppart of the Grand Stand xiresented one immense mass of heads , with hats oU ' , inmiediatfly after tho respective jockeys had weighed for the race . Every placo w : uj occupied : Expectation was mute and breathless . The first horse 4 hat maile his appearance was Bloomsbury , the winner of the Derby , and the winner of the trial at liverpooL Although the likeness of his ^ sire was apparent in his fine form , he : seemed to be too iattilled -with kiudnvss—at tlie most unlucky stable that ever possessed a root Next came ix > rd Kclburnu ' 8 Jerry colt , with Calioway on his back—then Dragsman , an ill-temperwd , but tine looking horse— -then Bolus

      then Charles , the observed of all , in beautifulconditiou —then . Euclid , a less sized horse , but in beautiful condition also . Each-horse took a gentle canter past , so that every spectator had the fairest sight of the whole lot . The most perfect order prevailed . Except the » lice foTce , stationed at intervals , witn the rails numbered , the ground was completely clear , so tliat every one had tho finest sight possible . The order maintained was beyond all praise . Tho whole fourteen then moved in the direction of tho post at tlie front of the P oaf and Dnmb Institution . The horses then turnod rouud in the corner—the large space being completely clearand advanced towards tho post All were anxious to get off , and the attempt was a failure . They rtsumtd

      the former position , and again advanced to the post , every lider being again ready . Mr . LoctmXKl then , Beeing that every horse had a fair chance , shouted at the very top of nis voice— "Go , " and away they tudied like the \ rind . The respective competitora had only proceeded a few hundred yards when diaries took the lead . Close at hand were Blooiusbury , Euclid ^ au d Bolus . The Dolphin and "Malvolio were close behind . The pace was so quick that Drajjsmau and the Purity colt were dropping off . At the dip of the hill , the last named horses , with Easingwold , were done , and the Purity colt pulled up and returned . At the bottouibf the hill , Bloonisbury -was burst and defeated , and along \ vith Bolus sunk towards the rear . The speed at whicii Charles

      wasgoing was tremendous , and ho appeared , considering the quality of the ground , to have arrived too far in fronv Euclid then mended his pace—so did Dolphin Malvolio , and tne Provost—the three latter were nearly abreast of each other . This position was maintained till reaching the Red House . On turning the point to come into straight running Dolphin declined , and jvlal-Tolio took nis place . On reaching the white rails , it was evident tliat the struggle rested with Charles and Euclid— -the others tailing on—but tho Provost was the third . On approaching the distance Euclid got up to his competitor , and coupled him in the most gallant style . anil then began the slashing work . The whipswere elevated , but it appeared from the position which Euclid occupied ,

      that he was so near Vho rails that Connolly had not sufficient room for the exercise of his strength . The two rivals were then bead ta head , and a struggle ensued wHch-sras nerer before seen , and probably never will be again . And the cry of Euclid—Euclid "" Charles—Oiarles "—were repeated by thousands of tongues , alternately betwixt fear and hope . Opposite the Grand Stand , Euclid appeared to have the best of tho rac « , and threatened to defeat his opponent . " Everything seemed to depend upon the reach of a single stride , as the two horses were head to head , with every muscle and tendon at their utmost stretch , —the head and neck of each horse forming two parallel lines . Euclid fetched up his hind quarters in the most racing , Eclipso-liko style , and it seemed fearful he would strike kis fore legs . In

      both horses—and it should beheld in remembrance that Euclid is a less horse than Charles , —every niusclo and vein was visible , especially the muscles in the large thighs of Euclid . In a purely racing point of view , nothing could exceed this , a sight which , as has been before remarked , was never seen before , and very likely never will be seen again . A loud shout burst from the assembled throng as the two horses reached the poBt , when the Judge declared , without any hesitation , " o dead heat , "—the expanded nostrils of each horse being quite even . The words , " a dead heat" flew ^ through the crowd , accompanied with the declaration ; that such a race as the St Leger of 1839 , was never seen by the oldest lover of the good old English custom of horse racing .
