If it could be shewn that a single chande lier had been broken, and that-the damage of sixpence had been done to the Theatre, the Learned Serjcant would allow it to be called a riot ; but, fur his part, he never saw a more harmlese set cf people in this life than these smile rioters. 'These things had been very much overstated out of doors ; but it was the duty of the Jury to attend to the evidence adduced here before them. The Learned Serjeant was satisfied as to his defi nition of riot, and trusted it would be sanctioned by his Lordship from the &Lich ; but where he felt most strong was, that his client wits not one of the rioters. Severed people having gone to the Theatre 'to hear the noise, and the Learned Serjeant himself being of the number, the elaintiff, having dined with Colonel Dosville, and Lichee left les table in cone patiy with a gentleman of character and honour, Mr. Hipkin, it was proposed by Mr. i Lipkin, that they should go to the Theatre and see N‘ bat. was going for , ward. The plainti f f , therefore, did not even intend 1 to go hisuself, till it was proposee by his ft iend.— They went, and took their places in some part oldie pit, where they heard as harmless, and perhaps as en tertaining a noise as many that had issued from the stage. In the pit there were many persons who wore the letters 0. P. in their hats ; and the Learn ed.Serjeant would net conceal it, for it certainly would come out in the evidence, that during a part of the night, the plaintiff, perhaps imprudently, wore the satire letters, they having been given to him by a Gen tleman in the pit. The Learned Serjcant, consider ing his situation in life, should not have perhaps nrede himself so conspicuous as this ; he might have hissed perhaps ; but he should have thought it ins prudent to wear 0. P. The plaintiff thought other. wise, however, and perhaps he was right. While he was in the* pit, he held no conversation with any body but his friend ; mid he, as well as twenty other wit nesses, whom the Learned Serjeant could call, would tell the Jury, that the plaintiff took no part whatever in the riot. The Learned Serjeant knew it had been sworn otherwise ; and he should be happy at some other time to meet the gentlemen whose names he had seen upon paper ; for he knew they had been guilty of gross perjury. The Learned Serjeant should prove, till the Jury were tired of hearing it, that the plaintiff took no part in the riot, and only wore 0. P. -in his hat ; and the Learned Serjeant submitted that, if was a riot, this single circumstance could not snake a man one of the rioters. If it could, the Gentlemen of the Jury must take care how they went to contested elections: At the last Brentfotd election there were serious riots ; sa that, if this doctrine were held, and any one of the Jury happened to wear the seme ribbon as the rioters, he was to be construed a rioter too. To wear the 0. P. ribbon, was not to join the 0. P. riot ; but to answer the appeal to the public of the proprietors of the 'Theatre, " I -don't approve. of the advanced prices." Was that illegal ? If so, why did the Proprietors ask the public whe ther they approved of their conduct or not ? The Learned Serjeant was aware, that there had been certain cases, where the badge of riot Made the wearer a rioter ; but these were where persons met for the avowed purpose of riot, or treason, and where it had been preconcerted that the parties should know each other by a bough or a ribband, worn as a badge. if the present case were like those, the plain tiff would be put on his defence, and he would defend himself by spewing he had preconcerted nothing ; and that' where symptoms of riot did manifest them selves, he exerted himself to remove them. In the first place, then, the disapproval of the conduct of the Proprietors of the Theatre must be shewn to be riot, which the Learned Serjcant denied it was ; and, secondly, the Jury Must be of op nion (which he was satisfied they would not) againt the evidence of Mr. Hipkin, that the plaintiff went to the Theatre, having preconcetted to join in that riot; or t h at he agreed, by conversation with the rioters whom he found in the Theetre, to join in that riot, which would amount to the same thing. The Jury slmid hear all that passed - between the gentleman who put 0. P. in the plaintiff's het, am: the plaintiff ; and even if the Jury should then he of crinien that the plaietia' was a r:oter, still lie would he entitled to their verdict ; fhr the law says that a rioter could be taken up only Arent: deticto, and even then net without a iVlagistrate's warrant The defendant .we; no constable ; and the Learned Serjeant believed that Taunton was none ; the de fendant, however, was the man that ga ve else charge, and he, at least, was no constable. If a man saw a riot, it was his duty to go to a Maeistt and, armed with his a lithcrity, to iatetferee But the moment the rioters separated, there was On end of the iot ; and the Learned Serienit would these the Jury, that at die time Use plaintifi . wes' apprehended, he had left the Theatre, and was walking home with the eentieman with whom he entered the Theatre. At that moment it was certain that nobody could seize hint as a rioter, without the warrant via Magistrate ; and if the Plaintilr, instead of being a peace.ae and gooddiumuured man, had been violent, and had re sisted the assault, the assaulter and the Proprietors of the Theatre would have had to answer for whatever I,iood might letve been spilt. Befcre the Plaintiff was apprehended, the play was ever, and the curtain down, and he himself had left the house. This had been sworn otherwise ; but the Learned Counsel would prove it to he as he stated it. The Defendant called oat to Taunton, who was with him, That's Clifford, take him." Taunton remonstrated," Why, he's been doing nothing all night." ‘. Never mind," replied the Defendant ; D—n your eyes, that's Clifford ; take him." He was therefore taken because he was Mr. Clifford. The Learned Serieant could see no other reason for his caption. He hoped it was not because he was a Barrister ; for he believed no body of men were less the cause of disturbance. He hoped it was not from political considerations ; though the Defendant had heard, from the very mouth cf the man -who was ordered to take him up, that he had been doing nothing in the Theatre. But the Defen dant was man of great power ; and taken up the Plaintiff was. It was not a very pleasant thing, for a Barrister to be charged with infringing the laws it was his duty to support.. When the plaintiff arrived at the Magistrate's:, the Defendant did not immediately sip. pear ; .he was after ether game. Mr. Read, the Ma gestratie, desirecbto know with what the Plaintiff was %ego& Taunton said he had no charge against him, and by, after being sent for, defendant came, and. arid eery flippantly said the plaintiff was a rioter, me had been encouraging the riot the whole night lane The Plaintiff, with a great deal of temper and mod, ration, as the Learned Serjeant thought, coolly a-l a the defendant if be would swear to what he had and if he had done so he would have been exalt, upon a stage somewhat higher than that of Coven: garden Theatre. Not that the book imposed any verence upon the defendant, but the consequences kissing it intimidated him. The defendant wlril not swear, :tad the plaintiff owned to the cireal. stance of wearing 0. P. in his hat, and asked Magistrate if there was any offence in that ? Read said no, and the plaintiff was dieehar w e e The defendant, by his conduct at the Magistrate: had therefore 'completely made the Leeinai jeant's case ; he dared not there sweet. the pleiei was a rioter. But if the plaintiff had been ever great a rioter, if the defendant did not lme- it, l e dare he charge Lim ? If die other side coliet po t the deposition on oath of tl.c defendant swee r a eg a. the plaintiff was a rioter, the Learned Serjalet ee e withdraw himaelf born the contest to-day, area a: the field in a different character at same fitture —The Learned - Serjeant should prove this his ca and unless it was answered by evidence, he :Juane entitled to the verdict of the Juey.

The Jury would bear the' • speeds that could possibly be made on the delei ant's behalf; enriched with all the graces of orate and the charms of eloquence. But it was from hi and not speeches that the Jary were to judge ; ; if they did not decide that the Proprietors were 1. fully playing, then the only question for their cei deration would be the amount of damages ; and 4100 too much to give to a gentleman, who had, the midst of this city, under the eyes of all his quaintance and friends, and under the eyes of Judges before whom he practised, been conveyed tore a Magistrate, who had discharged him at en, The defendant 'had called a Special Jimy to de, this cause.
