LANCASHIRE. 
A most important constitutional ques- 
tion underwent five days’ hearing before 
a Lancashire jury at the last assizes. It 
was a trial for an assault committed on 
Mr. Redford by the Manchester Yeomanry 
in the ever-memorable tragedy of the 16th 
of August, 1819. We lament that this 
momentous subject was not set at rest by 
a trial in another county ; for the wrong 
must be atoned for, and time will add 
heavy compound interest to the satisfac- 
tion that is due to outraged humanity, and 
to the common sense of mankind. It is 
said, that where there is a wrong there is a 
remedy; but this case has hitherto baffled 
justice, the magistrates shielding them- 
selves behind their assumed sound discre- 
tion, and the yeomanry behind the orders 
of the magistrates. ‘That the meeting was 
as lawful as its purpose was truly consti- 
Provincial Occurrences. 
[May 1, 
tutional is evident from the necessity 
which existed for subsequently passing the 
six acts. Patience is sometimes as neces- 
sary as action; and in this case we seem 
doomed to wait, but not we hope till this 
generation has passed away. Mr. Red- 
ford lost his cause, but we understand the 
subject will be further discussed in other 
courts. The cause is in the able hands of 
Mr. R. Hayward; and Mr. Blackburn and 
Mr. Evans greatly distinguished them- 
-selves by their eloquent appeals in favour 
of the rights of the people. 
A petition from Liverpool has lately been 
presented to the House of Commons, pray- 
ing for a repeal of the odious salt-tax.
