I believe you have favoured the public with an account of this transaction?—No, I have not.
You printed or wrote something?—It was in circulation among my friends. I wrote something which was never published.
There was a document, written by you, circulated among your friends?—Among my friends.
Before that time, had you seen yourself and read any publication, either in manuscript or print, on this subject?—I had read the reports in some papers, naturally, after that time, and I might have seen a pamphlet printed at Manchester.
Then you had seen several accounts which had been given to the world before you wrote?—Yes, I saw the reports of the papers immediately after the meeting.
Whose account did you see, besides the reports in the paper?—A Mr. Phillips’s.
You, it seemed, entertained a different view of the transactions that had taken place upon this day from those which had been given to the world before that time?—I do not know; I should say a different view from some, perhaps, and coinciding with the views of others.
Coinciding with the views of some, and differing from the views of others?—Respecting stones.
No matter what. You are a magistrate, I understand?—I am not.
Of neither Cheshire nor Lancashire?—No.
