(_a_) In the Catalogue of the _Old Manchester & Salford Exhibition_ (held at the Art Gallery in 1904), on p. 27, exhibit 157 appears as "Handcuffs belonging to Joe Nadin, Deputy Constable of Manchester at the time of Peterloo;" lent by G. C. Yates, Esq. On the same page, exhibit 167 is a "Special Constable's Staff, used at the time of Peterloo in Manchester, and then the property of Mr. Beever;" lent by C. Shiel, Esq. This collection is now for the most part dispersed. [Illustration: THREE RELICS OF PETERLOO _Photo by R. H. Fletcher_ _To face page 77_] (_b_) Mr. T. Swindells, of Monton Green, in the third volume of his _Manchester Streets and Manchester Men_, mentions "A Special Constable's Staff" given to him by a descendant of James Fildes. It is inscribed: "A relic of Peterloo. Special Constable's Staff which belonged to the late James and Thomas Fildes, grocers, Shudehill, Manchester." (_c_) In November, 1919, on the afternoon of the day on which I was to lecture on _The Story of Peterloo_, at the Rylands Library, Mr. W. W. Manfield, of Chorlton-cum-Hardy, brought me three interesting relics of Peterloo, which have been in the possession of his family since 1819. On the occasion of Peterloo his father and grandfather saw the crowd streaming through Salford after the catastrophe, and their curiosity led them to walk out to St. Peter's fields. There they picked up the three relics, which have been carefully preserved ever since. One of them is a long, heavy Constable's baton, apparently of rosewood, with the Royal Arms painted at the thicker end. (See Illustration opposite.) 4.--HEAD OF FLAGSTAFF. The second of Mr. Manfield's relics is the head of one of the Banner poles carried at Peterloo. It is shaped like the traditional cap of Liberty, and inscribed in neat gilt capitals: "Hunt and Liberty." (See Illustration.) 5.--HUSSAR'S PLUME. The third of Mr. Manfield's relics is a plume of horsehair, apparently originally dyed red, though (if so) much of the dye has faded. This, it may be presumed, was the plume from the helmet of one of the Hussars. It has been mentioned that the 15th Hussars wear a scarlet plume. These three relics have been photographed on one plate by Mr. Fletcher. (See Illustration opposite to page 77.) 6.--ACCOUNT-BOOK OF THE RELIEF COMMITTEE. In the year of the Centenary, Mr. Guppy was fortunate enough to secure for the Rylands Library the actual Account-Book used by one of the Committees formed for the relief of those injured in the fray. A single page of this book has been photographed by Mr. R. H. Fletcher for the present volume. (See Illustration.) Mr. Guppy's account of the volume (_Bulletin of Rylands Library_, April to November, 1919, p. 191) is as follows:--
