Mr. Serjeant Blackburne: And whether it did not create terror and alarm?—Not to me individually, certainly not.
You have said that you presented a description of what you saw at the meeting, to some of your friends?—I did.
How soon was that written after the meeting?—I can scarcely say; I should think perhaps two months, but I cannot speak accurately. It was when the impression was clear on my mind.
Clear and fresh in your recollection. Will you have the goodness to tell me whether you heard or saw any person read the Riot Act?—I neither heard it read nor saw it read.
Mr. Serjeant Hullock: If it was read you did not hear it?—I did not hear it.
If it should turn out to have been read, and read loudly, there might have been something else done—but that is conclusion—that is reason.
Mr. Evans: Your Lordship has on your note that McKennell said that he did not[8] hear the Riot Act read.
Mr. Serjeant Cross: He said so.
Mr. Justice Holroyd: Yes, I have.
Mr. Serjeant Blackburne: Then that is my case, my Lord.
