A meeting, at which the defendants were present, and of which the defendant Knight was chairman, was held at Habergham Eaves, near Burnley, on the 15th November 1819 to consider the best means of bringing the instigators and perpetrators of the late Manchester massacre to justice, and to embrace the subject of the necessity of Parliamentary Reform. Bodies of men to the number of several thousands, many of them carrying sticks, marched, with banners and music, to the place of meeting. During the meeting a cry was raised that soldiers were coming to disperse it; whereupon many persons drew forth pike heads which they had concealed, and some began to screw the pikeheads on staves. Some also produced pistols. The defendant Dewhurst urged the people to stand firm; and the business of the meeting went on. A cry having been again raised that the soldiers were coming, pike heads and pistols were produced. When the meeting dispersed pistol shots were fired.
