    APPREHENSION AND COMMITTAL OF THOMPSON , THE GUN-MAKER OS BIRMINGHAM . The evidence gives before the magistrates ai Stock port and Ashton-under- Lyne having shown thjt the fire am * a < M in those towns had been auppli&d by & Mr . Thompson , of Bincingham , it wa ^ thonght advisablo by th < i Stook port magistrate * that he should r » apprehended . Accordingly , Mr . Sadler , tbe superintendent of police of that borough went to Birmingham ( or tho purpose ob Wednesday la < t , and mt-t with tho prisoner near hid own residence , wnich is sitnatrd in Whittle-street , St . Mary ' s Gate , Birmingham . He went up to him , and told him he catne from Stockport , and ahook

    bands with hint , and then told him he had n warrent against him for having arms in hia ponsesrioti for illegal purposes , and charged him with supplying Mitchell , of Stockport , and'Higgiuy , of Ashton , with arms for illegal purposei * . He snid Le had supplied them with arm . " , but it was in n trade ^ maolike manner , and that he had no connection with them as Charti .-t « . Mr Sadler requested him to accompany him to his ( prisoner ' s ) houce . He did so , and then demanded to see his authority ( or his appraher . xion . blr . S . produced the vrarraut , and tht > n tusked the prisoner if he had any papers is his posatwioa ; and those producsd were jfijvn to htm by th >; pruoser and his wife . The prisoner » aid , that he never knew for wb » t purpose tbe anw were required , bnt on oaa occasion , and that was in Ashton , when some men cune in his shop , and began ta « houlder

    their muskets , he immediately te li them to dvsixt , tbat they should not do so on his premises . Tb « istter now produced he found at the residence of tbe prisoner , at Birmingham . [ It appeared to be a letter from Timothy Higpinf , informing him that ihe polic * had broken into his house , takon the arm ? , and char / ted him with having them in hu uo ^ ses . iioa for unlawful purposes , and stated that he aid been appre h ended and taken before thn magistrates , and bailed ont to appear to take his trial . ] Another letter was also produced which ksd be » n found in the residence or the prisoner ; it was di recUtd to TbompMon , and signed R . J . Richardson , " of Manchester . It gave a countermand ol an order which hi \ d been sent for arms , and copplained of a suspicion that he ( Thompson ) was privy to the apprehension of several parties by giving information to Govj rnment .

    IS' . m * letters of the prisoner were produced . Mr . Saoler strore to his handwriting , from uavt&g seen him write tw-co on tho previous day . He also swoi » to tbe handwriting of Higgins . ] Mr . Cobbett cros ^ xaaiued the witness in refert-are to tbe handwriting , and afterwards rose to addre .-a tbe Bench . He said the privone . * was charged with having arms in hid possession ; but he contended that tho charge could n . t bo entertained . a ^ it was well known that he w ? . 3 a manufacturer o ( arms ; and hin having « old snes to the prisoner * , Mitchell and Davies , did not prove that ha had sold them for the parpine of acting illegally ; therefore ha did not tUink it possible to make a crime out of tbe extremely far-fetched evidence , as tbe prisoner

    h--d not b

    Sadler , from seeing the prisoner write twice yesterday , had undertaken to S 7 . ear to the documents now produced . Now , Sir , I » ny , that a man who viould swear to those documents on . such ground is not wonhy of any credit Bt all . It was no fault of his that the geHtleman had thus hazarded bis character . Mr . Sadler was not an ignorant man ; and if he fell into an error , he could not h If it . In conclusion , he paid , in reference to this prosecution , that he hoped he shoald not have to appear in * that court again ; and he trusted that such , a report of tho case throughout would be given sw would hand down to posterity the > coDdnct of that bench , a « a beacon end as a warning to all magistrateu in future .

    The Mavor , in reference to the latter remarks of Mr . Cobbe ' tr , said that bims If and brother Magistrates considered they had only done their duty . The prisoner wan tben committed for trial on a charge of illegally disposing of arm * , combination , and conspiracy . Mr . Cobbett inquired at what hour the prisoner Nii-holls would be brought up on Satnrday ? The Clerk The Court always commences at twelve o ' clock , unless otherwise arranged . Tht » Mayer—Shall yon be here Mr . Cobbett ? Mr . Cobbett—Why , I don ' t know , Sir .

    The Mayor—Becauite I am requested by my brother Magistrates to say , that raoro eourtesy most , in future , be observed on ' your part , otherwise you will be excluded practising in this Cour ) . Mr . Cobbett brielly apologised , and the Court broke up .

The people , always willing to obey the laws , got a requisition signed and presented it to the Constables ; they were told to leave their requisition , and they would get an answer on Mecday morning . This they could not get , as the Magistrates detained it , and the public opinion was , that their intention was to frustrafte the meeting . Bainonr ran high , and some of the Constables asserted thai they were determined to put down the meeting , legal orilUgal , and that they bad cannon , and all the Aog » ot war to let slip at us , if wt persevered , and also that they bad warrants for our lending men ; and to wind up the climax , th « y wuced a placard headed "Illegal Meetings , " and threatening bow they would per *« cute us if we collected money for tbe Natisnal Beat , or any other purpose , and wound up as follows : —
