Three Accounts of Peterloo by Eyewitnesses / Bishop Stanley, Lord Hylton, John Benjamin Smith; with Bishop Stanley's Evidence at the Trial

by 1st Baron Sir William George Hylton Jolliffe Hylton; J. B. Smith; Edward Stanley

In the same way that you swear to the existence of brickbats and stones?—To the non-existence.

I think you say you saw Hunt come upon the ground?—I saw the barouche.

You saw the ladies and gentlemen both. Did you see any female?—I saw a female.

What was her use?—I have no conception of that.

Mr. Justice Holroyd: Of what?—

Mr. Serjeant Hullock: I asked whether she was for use or show.

You did not know any of the parties inside?—I had not the most distant knowledge of them.

You had heard of Carlile?—I heard of him in London.

You have heard since he was in Manchester that day?—I have heard it to-day, in the course of another examination. I never heard it before.

Hunt, when he saw the cavalry coming, I think, intimated his knowledge—his cognisance of the fact—by desiring them to give three cheers?—I could not hear.
