The - prisoner as proved in evi dence, had some conversation with Howells about the Luddites, and told Howell' he could make any man one ; and in the course of two or three dar after, the prisoner renewed the conversation by asking Howells what he thought of what they had been talking about (Howells lodged in the house of, and worked ‘\ - ith the prisoner as a weaver at the time :) Howells did not immediately recollect, and prisoner said it was ah )ut the Luddites, and asked Iloweommonlls if hc would be one ?He said he would. Prisoner then put a C Prayer Book into right hand, and •lesired Howells to repeat after him. Prisoner gave him a paper, and told him to conicnit it to memory as soon as he could, and he did so accordingly. It purported to be the oath he had repeated to hit% which was, that he was nut to reveal any secrets ofany brother or brothels, and if any traitors were ainchgst them, they were to be.punishcd with death . Howells kissed the btok. The paper given by pr isoner to Howells was signed by p w r itn isoner incall his own handwriting . This was supported by aooilier esscalled Thomas Broughton, who had received the 'riper from Howells, and not understanding its import, asked prisoner what the verer meant, and was informed by him that it was to form a regular o:;,anizArion in the county to overturn the tyra n nical system of gevenrinm% Broughton was a weaver at Barnsley, and acquainted with I luwells.
