In the pruning of cur Establishments, it is certain, that the country views with much more pain the re daction of the Navy than that of the Army. This feeling claims attention. The merit of the two ser vices is personally equal; they are brave men alike in both; but not so their possible operation upon the subjects of a free Stat. An Army may oppress our liberties at home ; a Navy never can be used bat in the protection of them against foreigners. We can maintain no array so - numerous but that a powerful Navy must still be necessary for the defence of our insular situation. A cornmanding Navy takes away the necessity of an expensive Army: It is in our Navy, therefore, only, that we can repose unalloyed confidence. Besides, It deserves attention, that Ame rica, since the peace, has been increasing her navy ; we have inflicted a severe reduction upon outs. The, state of the American navy can onlyl.ave referegck ' ! te us. Oar land arms,' can only relate to the Conti.., mut, where weshave no busiaea. • EltP Saturday being the first day of Hilary Terns, the LORD CIIANOttLOtt. MASTieR of the ROLLS, VICO CIIANCELLOR, and the Jutfoes, went down to West minster in the usual form, and proceeded to open their several Courts COURT OF kiNG's SENCIi. On the sitting of the Codrt, the Cattr.Tilertci in timated to Mr. Serjeant PELL and Mr. Serjeant Cot.- mkt, that the Patscs REGENT had. been graciously pleased to appoint them King's Serjeants, and they were as such directed to take their places within the Bar. The CHIEF JUSTICE also communicated to Messrs. WILSON, NOLAN, GAJELEE, and CAsarao, that his Royal Highness having been pleased to ap point them of his Majesty's Counsel Learned in the Law, they also would take their places within the Bar. The usual report of the state of the convicts at the several stations Ifas also read. It represented them as all well. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. GritNEY applied for a criminal information against the Mayor of the Borough of Queennorough, for refusing a license to a public-house. It appeared' from the affidavit, that the house in question had been licensed to the present complainant and his father for 26 years past, and the Magistrate in question had been a frequenter of it ; and in 1817, there being a l complaint made that the beer furnished by the brewer was not good in quality, several of the complainant's customers, and among them the Magistrate in ques tion, advised him to purchase the house. This he accordingly did at a very considerable price, and his whole support now depended on it. 'Yet, with-, out any notice given, or reason assigned, the Magi strate, at the last licensing day, refused to renew the complainant's license. lie had since, however, as signed as a reason, that the complainant had not ap plied for his license in terms sufficiently respectful ; for whilst the proprietor of the other public-house, there being two in the town, on applying to have his . license renewed, addressed the Magistrate as follows: "I hope, Sir, you will be pleased to renew my license," the complainant said, " I suppose, Sir, you have no objection to renew my license." Since that time ap plications had been made on the complainant's behalf, but without effect, by all the most respectable inha bitants of the town; and the affidavit further stated, that the complainant believed the said Magistrate had refused to renew his license because he, the ccrn plainaat, had offended him, by making an affidavit in some law proceedings, contrary to his, the said Magistrate's opinion.--The Court graated the Rule to shew cause. LIBEL. On the motion of Mr. MARRYATT, Richard Carlile was brought up to plead, a true bill having been found against him by the Grand Jury, for publishi► a certain scandalous, impious, and blasphemous libel, tending to bring the Holy Scriptures and the Chris tian religion into contempt. The libel having been read by 'Mr. Barlow, the defendant prayed time to plead. This was granted, and he was admitted to bail, himself in 2001. and two sureties in 100/. each. SHERIFFS COURT, BEDFORD-ROW—FRIDAY. SEDUCTION. TEMPLE, ESQ. V.POT:LETT,ESQ.. Mr. BROUGHAM opened the declaration in this case. It was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, to recover compensation for theieduction of his wife, and-the damages were laid at £O,OOO. _ . . Mr. Serjeant Coetee, in stating the circumstances under which the action was brought, addressed the Jury in a very eloquent speech. Such cases, he ob-' served, were, unfortunately, of such frequent occur rence, that it was unnecessary he should occupy their, time by any observations upon their nature or im portance. The plaintiff in this case was Captain Temple, who was an Officer in the Buckingham' Yeomanry, and also held a commission in the Buck ingham Militia. He was married to his present wife I in the year 1807. He was then '26 years of age, and she was nineteen. The match was one of the' purest and most ardent affection, and was sane - toned by the friends of both parties. Mrs. Temple: was a lady of great personal beauty, and was mis- ' tress of those accomplishments which are most e•Ai trable to society: she had, howeeer, other properties which were cf greater Nalue in the eyes of a lea band—she was an affectionate wife, an exemplary mother, and a sensible and rational ccmpanion. , Soon after the marriage had been solemnized, the plaintiff joined his regiment ; he was accompaaied by his wife, who from that period, with the excep ' don of some few intervals, down to the discovery of her unfortunate connexion with the defendant, re mained his constant companion. Their lives were passed in one uninterrupted scene of domestic happi ness ; the plaintiff invariably, unless upon some par tieular occasions, preferring to dine with his Lady, rati.er than joining the mesa of his brother Officers. Thsey kept the best society, and during the stay of the regiment at Buckinghain, were in the habit of very frequently visiting the Marquis of Buckingham at Stowe, near that town, and many other respect able families in the neighbourhood. . The defendant, who was an Officer of Dragoons, was introduced to the plaintiff by some of his brother Officers : he was nephew to the late Lord Poulett, and at the time of. the introduction resided at Addington House, the seat of his late father. At this period, the plaintiff tesided in part Of a large mansion-house in the town of Biickingham, and on all occasions received the de fendant at his table upon the most friendly.and con fidential footing... 'ln the beginning of 1817, the de ;tenth= having become involved in some embarrass ments, which prevented his supporting an establish ment at Addington Souse equal to that of his father, heves invited by the plaintiff to occupy a part of I the house in which he lived himself. The house, from its site, was particularly calculated for such an acooinmorlation. It was provided with a double staircase, and, in fact,. the only communication, be- Itween the one side of the-building and the other was Ity Means of a door on the first floor, which, it was intectied, should be keptlocked. From this moment r the intercourse between the family of the plaintiff 'itnd the defendant became more frequent; and the 'plaietiff took every occasion to evince the sineetity :of his friendihip towards the defendant. Thus mat, lore- -ec.ottriued . until the month of October, 1817- the plaintiff was sontmoned into Suffolk, to at titct.Ofhis mother. He obeyed ehe tins, .welconitecial, and proceeded to - Snffolk, leaving-his• 'Wife in tnainghi l— M6 hecompattieci by his sister, Mis§ Honeywbod. It was during this alisenee that :lie A; fendant found means io seduce the affectiOns of Mrs: Temple Whether he accomplished the Ultimate ob 'lea of his dishonourable pursuit or tint 'at that times it was impossible to say ; but that he hid succeeded too well in sapping the foundation of the virtue of his friend's wife, was made manifest in the month of May following. It atspezred, that finding the' stop page of the internal communication between the two sections of the house a considerable bar to his views, under the pretence of being obliged to break 'opcit door, and the expected visit of some of his sisters, Le succeeded in obtaining the key of the closed passage from hi* unsuspecting friend. This secure in the means of egress fiom, and ingress to, Mrs. Temple, at such seasons as he might deem most convenient, he .continued his clandestine visits, and was, it was belidved, but too fre.luently the inmate of that lady's bed-chamber. On ma sevei al occasions, at an early hour in the morning, he was seen coming from anal going into Mrs. Tein:sle's room, immediately after her husband had qu;ited it, and had proCeeded to his dressing-mom, which was on the ground-floor. At length_these.facts were communicated to the plain tiff, and all his happiness *as for ever blighted. This was the short statement of the facts. The Rev. H. Quartlett, Mr. Ladbrook, late Fur geon, and Mi. Moore, late Assistant-Surgeon, :4 the Buckinghamshire Militia, depond to the °tit te of happiness and affection in which the plaintiff and his wife lived together. Mrs. Frances Tyrrall was next examined.--e was lady's-maid to Mrs. Temple. She went to live with her on the 28th of April, 1817. Mr. Temple and his Lady lived in part of a large mansion: Mr. .Poulett occupied the other part. Mr. Poulett fre quently visited Captain Temple, chiefly in the even ing, bet sometimes to dim:cr. Captain 'remote and Mr. Poulctt were On terms- of intimacy and friend ship. Captain Temple ard Lis Lady lived en the most affectionate terms. Mrs. Temple and her chil dren attended Buckingham Church. Her conduct towards her family was exemplary. A few days before the 12th of May, ISIS, I et: ,erved Mr. Poulett ,leave Mrs. Temple's hed-reoni. Mr. Temple was at that time in his dressing-room, which was on the ground-floor ; the bed-room was on the first floor.— Mr. Poulett was in his dressing-gown : it was wrap ped closely round him. That was about nine o'clock fn the morning. 1 saw him open the door and ccme out. I did ror go ;..t my mistress's room immedi ately. Mrs. Tempi,: rang soon afterwards, and went to her. I found Mrs. Temple in bed. I did net name it to any one at that time. On the 30th rf May I observed Mr. Poulett go into Mrs. Temple's room between eight and nine in the morning ; hes was in his dressing-gown; Mrs. Temple was at that time in her bed-room ; he remained there front ten minutes to a quarter of an hour ; Mr. Temple was at that time also in his dressing-room. After Mr. Temple. went down stairs, I saw Mr. Poulett go into Mts.. Temple's chamber. In consequence of what I saw. on-the llth of June, I went to Mrs. Temple and gave her warning ; I would not stay there any longer. The house was d;rided : there was a door led out of Mr. Temple's bed-room into a passage, which had a communication Mr..Poulett's bed-rooms. Mit. T. was in the family way when I gave her warning. JERVls•spoke in mitigation of damages. There *as no violation of hospitality, nor were there any of those seductive arts used which his Learned Friend had insinuated: •He did not mean to, deny that tome damages ought to he given, but these should be ton peraie and moderate, wad ptopetlioned to the lags which the huiband had sust.tiaed. It was said . the Lady had a daughter ; btu the Jury had here to com. pensate the Toss of the husband, and not that of the daughter ; and to what did that loss amount ? They had heard that this Lady was beautiful—but what idea could they form of her virtue or of her delicacy, when they found her receive into her arms a pit: y paramour, the moment her husband had retired from her faithless bosom ? V; as this the conduct of a woman deserving of any man's admiration or affec tion? Was the loss of .; creature so grossly debased to be estimated at any extraordinary value? Was it not rather a blessing than an affliction to be rid of one so dead to every sense of female modesty ? Ia fact, horn the first she seemed to have fallen into the arms of the defendant without one virtuous struggle. Instead of being a loss to an infant family, the ab sence of such a woman must be considered a blessing. Mr. .E:acrt r., the Under-Sheriff, then summed ap the ev:A•::,:c to t1:0 •Jury. He observed that it had been trui; said ; that the Jury were the.guardians.of the public morals in such actions ;and.it would be for them, taking all the circumstances into their co:l%i -deration, to give a verdict proportioned to the justice of the case. The Jury,' after a short consideration, found a ser , .. diet for the Plaintiff, Damage; Five Tisoweeeil Pounds.
