As long as he had a seat in that House, he would always be ready to raise his voice in behalf of the poor, however much such conduct might displease those gentlemen whose arithmetic was puzzled in counting their millions, and whose immense fortunes were accumulated at the expense, and almost by the destruction of, their poorer fellow-countrymen.

Several of the people who were tried, said, in their defence, that they were ordered by Mr. Deacle to go to certain places to get money, The Judges too stated that there were farmers who instigated the people, and deserved to be tried more than the misled peasantry.

The Examiner, the Ballot, and some other weekly newspapers in London, not excepting the Handkerchief news, have done their duty with regard to this Trial, and with regard to me, and, what is more, with regard to the case of Mr. and Mrs. DEACLE and the conduct of the magistrates in Hampshire. As for me and my affairs, they are dust in the balance compared with the proceedings and consequences of the Special Commission in Hampshire, which, as Mr. HARVEY so well said, have awakened thoughts in the people which must lead to interesting consequences. Mr. MILDMAY, who presented the petition in favour of the BARINGS from Winchester, will soon see another petition which will bring him nearer home; and I myself promise him, that he shall have ample opportunity of conning that petition over before-hand.
