The Lord Chief-Baron acquiesced in the proposition, and adjourned the Court till the next day at nine o’clock.
Second Day.—Tuesday, April 25.
At nine o’clock in the morning the proceedings were resumed. The arms and ammunition were brought in, and underwent an inspection in presence of the Jury.
Mr. Gurney proceeded to call
George Ruthven, who had seized the arms found in Cato-street. He identified certain arms placed on the table of the Court as the arms which he had seized, and repeated the evidence which he had given on the former trials. He also produced the grenades.
Hector Morrison said, that he had sharpened a sword, which was produced to him, from heel to point, by desire of Ings.
Samuel Taunton produced several pike-heads, fire-balls, cartridges, &c., which were found at Brunt’s and Tidd’s lodgings, and repeated his former evidence.
Sergeant Hanson described the composition of the fire-balls, and opened one of the grenades for the satisfaction of the Jury. It contained twenty-five pieces of old iron. He stated, that it was quite clear that it had not been made by any military man. His evidence was the same as it had been on the former occasions.
The case for the prosecution was then closed.
