COURT OF KlN6'g BENCH, TUNE 14. moßßis, ESQ. V. HUNT. This, it will be recollected, was an action against the defendant, as one of the Candidates to represent the City of Westminster in Parliament, at the last General Election, to recover his third share or con tribution for the expense of erecting Hustings in Co vent-garden, paying Poll Clerks, &c. incurred by the plaintiff as High Bailiff. At the Sittings in West minster after the last Term, a verdict was found for the plaintiff. Mr. Hoer, in person, now applied to the Court with an alternative object—lst, for a nonsuit ; and 2d, for a new trial. As to the first he grounded his motion upon four several objections—first, that the Act of Parliament upon which the plaintiff sued was a private one, inasmuch as it did not contain a clause to rake it public, and consequently that an office copy of it ougftt to have been produced and proved ; second, that there was no proof that the plaintiff had taken the usual oath against bribery and corruption ; third, that the original writ to the Sheriff ought to have been produced, authorizing the plaintiff to hold the election, instead of the precept of the former to the latter; and fourth, that the poll-book ought to have been produced, in order to shew that the defen dant was a candidate at the election, and that a poll had been demanded. As to the ground for the new trial, the defendant submitted two objections to the Learned Judge's direction to the Jury first, that,as it appeared that Sir Samuel Romilly and Sir Murray Maxwell had paid their respective shares of the plain tiff's aggregate claim of 0'23, a certain portion of which was acknowledged to be irrecoverable at laW, the surplus payment ought to go in reduction of the defendant's liability, thereby reducing the claim against the defendant to £199, instead of the sum re covered ; and second, that there were items in the plaintiff's account for which the defendant nas not liable ; viz. the charges for guarding the hustings during each night of the election, beer for the carpen ters, and a sum of 10s. charged for cleaning the por tico of St. Paul's Church after the election. After hearing the defendant at considerable length upon all these objections, The COURT were unanimously of opinion that there was no ground made out, either for entering a non suit or granting a new trial. As to the first objec tion, in favour of a nonsuit, it was clear that the Act of Parliament upon which the plaintiff was sued was clearly a public Act, inasmuch as it related to a branch of the legislature, which alone would make it public if it did not (as was the fact), contain words which would give it such an operation. As to the second objection, as it had not been taken at the trial it could not now avail the defendant, even though it was maintainable upon principle, which their Lord ships were not prepared to say ; because the law would presume that the plaintiff, as a public officer. had taken the oaths required by law, which, if he did not, he would be criminally answerable, and the Court, in the absence of proof, were riot to presume crime. As to the third objection, it had been held, in a case in Sir James Burrows Reports, that the She riff's precept was quite sufficient, without the origi nal writ to the latter, to authorize a subordinate officer to act ; and for which, in principle, there were other equally cogent authorities. And as to the fourth objection, the fact of the defendant having' , himself given to the plaintiff a written acknowledg ment that he was a candidate, was a sufficient cir cumstance cumstance to dispense with the necessity of 'produc ing the poll-book. A different turn had now been given to this objection, of which the defendant could not avail himself. He had contended that the poll book should have been produced, to shew that a poll had been demanded. This objection should have been taken at the trial ; and even supposing it to have been of any weight (which it was not), it could not now be taken. Then as to the objections taken in support of the motion for a new trial, the direction of the Chief-Justice was perfectly correct. The pay ments made by Sir Samuel Romilly and Sir Murray Maxwell to the plaintiff were rer inter alios ; and however they might call upon the plaintiff to refund what they might he supposed to have overpaid, the surplus payment could not go in reduction of the de mand ag ainst the defendant. As to the items in the plaintiff's demand objected to, the first two seemed to be very reasonable, being incidental to the expense of the hustings ; and as to the charge of los. for cleansing the portico of the Church, a third of which would be 3s. 4d. that would not be a ground for granting a new trial, for even supposing it to he an unlawful charge, it fell within the maxim of law debitns non jurat ler. Their Lordshipsrefused the rule. VIE KING V. CARLISLE. This defendant, against whom there are several in dictments and informations for publishing alleged blasphemous and libellous publications, pending, ap peared in Court for the purpose of founding a mo tion relative thereto, on an affidavit with only one stamp, but The COURT, observing that the a ffi davit related not to one, but to several cases, said that there must be as many stamps as cases to which the affidavit re lated, and therefore refused to hear the application ; but said, that he might renew his motion to-morrow, upon affidavits free from this objection. IN THE MATTER OF PEARSON. Mr. GURNEY last Term moved for a rule to shew cause why Mr. Pearson, an Attorney, should not an swer the matter of an affidavit, charging him with making affidavits of two fictitious persons (Jones and Edwards) charging the Attornies in the prosecutioa against Woolf, Levy, and others, for conspiracy, with speaking to the Jurors during the trial, with a view to stop the due course of justice. Mr. SCARLETT opposed the rule, and produced the affidavit of Mr. Pearson, who deposed that he had no reason whatever to suspect that the persons who up .died to him and made the said affidavits, wcrc not 'respectable , The rule was discharged. The Order upon which their Lordships were sum moned being read, the question for going into a Com mittee on the above Bill was pmt. Lord KENYON rose, and addressed their Lord. ships upon the subject. lie observed, that moral considerations, combining with the principles and feelings of humanity, solely induced him to come for ward and press their Lordships to give their sanction to the measure now before them. Were the present merely a question of speculative humanity, or grow ing out of feelings of morbid sensibility, he should be one of the last to come forward. But the measure in question clearly involved considerations of obvious, of practical humanity. Notwithstanding it was a general principle of the common law, that the young and helpless, as well as other classes of the commu nity, should be duly protested, yet it was found, that in the particular case in question the common law could not extend an effectual protection to those ill. fated young persons whom it was the princial object of the Bill to protect and relieve. The proposed measure had received much public inquiry and dis. cussion, and he could say, that almost all the resident Clergy, and the ftr greater number of the resident Magistrates, in the various quarters where the urea. sure would most extensively operate, were decidedly in favour of the Bills passing, as was manifest from their numcroos Petitions ; and of the necessity of some express Legislative regulation. On the subject he thought, from a full and fair consideration of the evidence, there could be no rational doubt. The opi. nions of numerous medical persons, who were con sulted or examined upon the subject, were also in fa vour of the measure. The Noble Lord then entered upon some detailedZitonsideration of the evidence, from many parts of which he inferred and argued, that the extensive degree of labour imposed upon the young persons employed in the Cotton Manufacto ries, and the great degree of heat which generally prevailed in the atmospheres of those, were highly prejudicial to their healths. He descanted, with much feeling and effect, on the sjtuations of those unhappy young rrsons in other respects, as connec ted mith the employment in Cotton Manufactories, and contended that, upon the whole, their case was one that called for a special Legislative protection ; and he adverted to the consideration that in many parishes the allowances would not be made to t h ose families who sent their children to work in Cotton Manufactories. His Lordship concluded by moving-.. That the House do now resolve itatlf into a Com mittee on the The Earl of nossuN contended, that accord- ing to the principles established by tile best writers on political economy, legislative intesference in such cases was neither wise nor politic. The patents of the children were naturally and evidintly the best _ guardians of thebealthand corn —and it was a fixed principle, that be interfered with as little. as possib: of proof lay with those who mair position. kle expressed hil d. btepq taken out of doors, and the ings which appeared, with a view fiurnice their discussion upon thi' The Noble Earl also entered L tensiye view and examination of in cvidence . before their Lordsh' re.
