can be proved, that the persons who attended the
meeting were not armed. If, as it has been said,
the negatives of these witnesses are not worth much,
yet, whatever Mr Hunt could call witness to deny,
the Magistrates might (if they had them) have
called witnesses to prove.

This, there, is the question which men who really
wish to get at the truth asks. Why did the Magistrates not
prove those assertions which were made by them, and repeated
in the House of Commons, respecting the character of
he meaning meeting, and to which were so material to support the
indictment that they had preferred? Surely, not because
they would incidentally and collaterally have supported
their own character for humanity and veracity? Surely,
not because they were nice as to the witnesses they could
produce, when we find that in support of their case,
which was to have been carried triumphantly by the
consensus omnium bonorum, they produced witnesses
whose characters did not appear to be quite so unimpeachable
as when they they were sheltered from cross-examination,
by the tenderness of the Bench at Manchester.
This question The Courier may blink; it may
shuffles it may fight with shadows of its own raising
and wonder at its own prowess. Mean while the public
will not be at a loss to find answer.
