The Business of the day being ended, the High Sheriff, at half-past four o'clock, dissolved the Meeting. • The people then separated with loud cheers, and the roads in the vicinity of York were throughout the evening flocktd by persons who attended the Mee:ing, peaceably retuning to their homes. Many of them had come a distance of forty miles to attend the Meeting. THE EVENING STAR. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1819. THE FUNDS.

Never was there a more respectable County Meet kg ors any public question than that held at York Thursday, of which we have given a full Report iv. our columns this day. It is estimated that not less than 20,000 people were assembled on the occa s;.on, and among them an immense number of the most respectable inhabitants, in point of rank, cha racter, property, and influence. To talk of the con sequences that attach to a York County Meeting, vould be to waste the time of our Readers, and to insult their understanding. We shall therefore con tent ourselves with simply remarking, that to be able to boast that we only anticipated the feelings and judgment of such a body, in the vie* we took of the scenes transacted at Manchester, is to us a complete justification of our conduct, and a satisfactory answer to those who have dared to revile us for faithfully lischarging our duty to our Country. The subjoined letter from York mentions some facts preliminary to the Meeting, which deserve to be made known : TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. " YORK, OCTOBER 14, 1819. g , By the Requisition which has already appeared, the Public were informed respecting the object of the Meeting held here this day. A detail, however, of some circumstances which preceded, canna prove uninteresting to your Readers. " On Monday morning, the citizens of York were unexpectedly honoured by the presence of 50 or 60 of the principal gentlemen of the county, in the Tory interest,—among whom were Lords HAREWOOD, Griaivrnara ' and LASCELLES, Sir H. CARR lIIBET fts, Sir T. LISTER KAYE, Mr. STUART WORTLEY, one of the County Members, and Mr. Duricomaz,"ofl Dunconbe-paik. The object of their meeting was to consider of the most proper mode of opposing the proceedings of this day ; but it appears that a divi sion of sentiment occurred ; for, dough the bells were rung, and the city was in a bustle on that and the following day, yet, all that the Public could as• certain on the subject was, that they dined together At the Black Swan ; and, ultimately, published a Declaration, disapproving the object of the County Meeting, and tamely expressive of the determination of a .frx, who signed the same, to abstain from at tending it. " On Tuesday evening, a General Meeting of the York Whig Club was held ; and a Declaration pub lished by it, expressive of the film conviction of its Members, that, in the present alarming state of the country, the present Ministers of the Crown and the Liberties of the People, cannot long exist together— and that it is, therefore, highly requisite that the said Ministers should, immediately, be discharged from Oilice, as unworthy the confidence of the People. " About nine o'clock, this morning, the people be gan to assemble in immense numbers, from all parts of the County."--gor other particulars see our Re port of the proceedings, which were highly interest ing. All passed off very orderly, and the people re tired ss ith the utmost quietness and good order, well satisfied with every thing that had passed;] The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived this fore r.oon. The accounts they contain of the progress of tie yellow fever, in Spain, are most afflicting.. The Lumber of deaths, on the 21st September, was, at Cadiz, 66—at the Isle de Leon, 69. Provisions were becoming scarce, in consequence of the interdiction of all communication, and famine was beginning to add its horrors to those of the wasting pestilence. All communication with Seville has been interdicted, from which, it is presumed, that the fever has also found its way to that City. French 5 per Cents.

TRIALS, THE KINO v. CARLILE—Third Prosecution. RING (at the suit of Mr, HUNT) against Dr. ST ODDART, COURT OF KING'S IEitNCII, GT,III • DIIALL TUIS DAY At nine o'clock Mr. CARLILE was brought into Court in the custody of two tip-staffs. Shortly afterwards Mr. How: made his appear ance, followed by Mr. BRYANT and other friends. At half past nine the CRIEF JUSTICE took his seat on the Bench. The cause of the "King against Carlik" (the third prosecution) was called. Mr. Husr immediately rose, and observed that he understood his cause against Stoddart stood first for trial this day ; and that, besides, Mr. Carlile was not prepared. The CHIEF .JUSTICE—Mr. Carlile can speak for himself. Mr. HUNT resumed—He had been time after time in attendance with his witnesses; he had been in formed by the Clerk of the Court that his cause stood first to-day ; and he must insist on his right of precedEnce. The CHIEF JUSTICE observed that the cause of the King against Stoddart stood, upon his list, after that now called; and that the Court must not be inter rupted in its regular course of proceeding. Mr. HUNT begged to say, that the cause against Mr. Carlisle did not stand before his cause against Stoddart. He had been three different times in attendance with his witnesses, ready to go to trial —in April, in June, and at the beginning of the pre sent Sittings ; and if the Court would not now take up his case before that of Mr. Carlile, he would not only have to complain of delay, but (raising his voice to rather an emphatic pitch) of a rank denial of ustice! Cum, JUSTICE—Have you don; Sir ? When you are done, I will speak—but not till then. Mr. HUNT reiterated all that he had before said. He had made every inquiry he could last night, in order to ascertain whether the case against Mr. Car lile was to come on to-day, and having found that no notice of trial had been given to Mr. Carlile, he was left in no doubt that his case against Stoddart would be' first tried. He concluded with repeating (in even a still more vehement tone than before,) that if the Court would not give his case the precedence, he would have to•complain, not only of a delay, but of a rank denial of justice! ' The Cuter JUSTICE—Have you done, Sir? Mr. HUNT bowed his assent. The CHIEF Junto' now observed, in a-very mild, yet dignified manner, that this was the first time, in the whole course of his experience, either on the Bench or at the Bar, that he had seen the Court ad dressed in the manner it had now been. It was out of the usual course to apply at all to the Judge as to the order of the cases tried—that was a matter which lay wholly with the Clerk of the Court. When he first took his seat on the Bench, he had expressed an anxious desire that all Special Jury Causes s should be .brought on in their regular order, and he had not known the rule to be deviated froni, except under special circumstances, which fully justified the devia- tion. In the present instance, there appeared no reason whatever for going out of the regular order. All the cases against Mr. Carlile stood in his paper before that of the 4 King v. Stoddart': he was bound to proceed with the cause which had been called, and uothing would induce him to depart from what he knew, and felt to be his duty. - Mr. CARLILE now rose, and observed, that he had been quite taken by surprise. lie had made every inquiry be could last night, in order to ascertain whe ;her this third prosecution against him was to be brought on to-day, but could get no information on the point. He thought it had been abandoned. The CHIEF Jusucx—g6 Did you get no notice ?" Mr. CARLILE" Not the least notice. I did not know that I was to be brought up to Court till this morning, when the Officers came and told me that must be ready in a quarter of an hour to go along; with them. I am without the books and papers ne-, cessary for my defence. lam wholly unprepared,• In an hour, perhaps, I might be ready. The case of Mr. Hunt might proceed in the mean time." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that he would be extremely sorry—that he would, indeed, be unworthy the situation he filled, were he to think, of taking any defendant by surprise. But when he considered, 'that upwards of a month ago he was applied to by Mr. Carlile, to know whether the different prosecu tions against him would come on at these Sittings, and, that he had then expressly informed him, that they would all be brought on in succession, he could not help thinking, that it was somewhat strange in the defendant to talk of being taken by surprise, or of being unprepared to go into his defence. If, how ever, the defendant stated fairly, and, he would take it for granted, that he did state fairly, that he was taken by surprise, in being brought up to defend himself against the present proseesoimb -be far from desiring to press on the trial» ' the must time be must observe, that should thermiol be post poned, it ought not to be to the detriment of the many other causes that are on the list to be tried, but should stand over tilt after the present Sittings. ; f The Clue, Jusuca—What Mr. Attorney-General says is extremely pmper. Defendant, you have your ?4' ~_ ption. Either you must go on with your trial now t ' ir it must stand over till after the present Stripe, r. Catalpsta, after some hesitation—,l prefer, m 7 d, that it should stand over, The cause stands deferred accordingly till after . e present Sittings. It is a prosecution for a Sedi• ;ions Libel, alleged to have been A 14111104 by the Defendant in Sherwin 's Register. • io Mr. HUNT then rose, and after having arranged his papers, of which he exhibited a great !limber, he addressed himself to the Chief Justice:...." bly Loft is my case against Doctor Stoddart to tome on now?" The CHIMP JOBTICL--" You would not wish that it should come on in the absence of the defendant's Counsel?" Mr. HUNT.—" No, my Lord; I would not take that advantage of him, which I know the Doctor would take of me. I well know, that if that we* character could do tiny thing to my prejudice behind my back, or in the absence of any bOdy- who might stand tip to defend me, he would do it with all hi. heart." The Crum JUSTICILe- 41 Mr. Hunt, I request you will abstain from making observations of this kind. They are not fit for me to hear." Mr. Hurr.—ig My Lord, I speak of the defendant, as I shall shew him to the Jury." The CH= JUSTICI.-" It is extremely improper to address me in this manner. Be guarded in your conduct, Mr. Hunt. If you do not act respectfully, the Court may perhaps be obliged to remind you that you have no right at all to be heard in the mat ter. You ought to bear that in mind, sad regulate your conduct accordingly, as on that may depend your being allowed to speak. I - shall returncr short time to the room, till the Counsel and parties, come into Court. They must be rather taken by sur prise from the turn the case of Carlile has taken." Mr. HUNT—" But, my Lord," The CHIEF JUSTICE—•." I will hear no more from you, Sir." His Lordship then left the Court. In about five minutes Mr. SCARLZTT, Counsel for the Doctor, entered the Court, and soon afterwards the Chief Justice took his seat upon the Beach.— The Doctor appeared not. Mr. HUNT rose--- The Cuter Jusrice--gg Mr. Hunt, it would be advisable in yon to c....me nearer to me, in order that I may communicate with you as to the witnesses you intend to have called." Mr. Husir—ig My Lord, my present situation is well adapted to me. The communications I may hold with your Lordship shall be audible. They shall WI before the Public. The Cunt, JUSTICE" Certainly they must—bl it will be more convenient if you would approach nearer to me." Mr. Howr- 4 ‘ My Lord, I do not wish to change' my situation; I wish to be opposite to the Jury—at is necessary that I should be in this place, for I intend to address the Jury." The CHIEF JUSTICE—" That you cannot do, Sir. It would be well that you should distinctly under stand the nature of your present situation. In all proceedings in the Court of King's Bench, a prose cution by indictment is not, in point of form, at the' suit of an individual. If an individual institutes a prosecution, and thinks fit to put the law in motion in the name of the King, the suit is not the suit of the individual, but of his Majesty ; and, under such circumstances, no person has a right to address the Jury, upon the part of the prosecution, but a King's Counsel. This his already been decided in the Court of King's Bench, in Westminster Hall, upon nil occasion on which an individual stood in a situation similar to your's. I there refused to hear the real prosecutor, upon the grounds which I have just stated. The conduct I adopted underwent the ex amination of the Court, and was acquiesced in. At Courts of Assize, things of this kind frequently occur. It is the practice of individuals to institute proceed ings in the name of the King, and when they do not employ Counsel, to consult with the Judge, as to the most proper course of conducting the prosecution— and in this manner justice is administered. If lam wrong in this view, you can apply to the Court of Kings Bench ; but I must assure you that this course is the only one I shall allow to be pursued." Mr. Hvxr--4. I must tell your Lordship= The CHIEF JUSTICE-..-" If you do not wish the cause to be withdrawn, you will pursue this course." Mr. Hvitir-- ,, I hope, my Lord, you don't think the Judges infallible. Upon my word lam fax from thinking so. Your Lordship, peshaps, is in a little error yourself in laying down this doctrine, to which I certainly can never subscribe." The CHIEF JUSTICE.-••• 41 Sir, I claim no infallib6 lity. I am not presumptuous. The grounds onsirhieir I oppose your inclination upon this subject, are legati and cannot be infringed." Mr. Hunr—g6 .My Lord, there can be no autho• rity of a proper character for such a mode of pro ceeding.', The Curer Jtisrrcs-- 4 i I'll hear -so more ! Call another cause, officer." Mr. Hour— , 4 Then I mast declare in this open Court that I meet with a denial of justice here, and of course I must deny the•existence of justice here." The Cams Jusrica-- ,, Notwithstanding those 'frequent and bold interruptions which you have given to the course of the proceedings of this Court, mid the disrespectful manner in which you have con ducted yourself in my presence, I shall' call Your cause If you determine to pursue the legitimate forms %id down for your observance." Mr. Hour I shall certainly take my own way procuring justice for myself against the DoctOr, Your Lordship said I was a bold man. I *now ledge that lam bold in the performance ofmy duty. I am not bold in making false accusation, or in asserting falsehoods, a quality far which others are celebrated.
