CARROT, respectfully solicits the attention of the Public to the near approach of the KING'S BINTII, DAY, when the Lottery will commence drawing. k is with the greatest satisfaction that he observes how amply the liberality and discernment of his Friends have been rewarded, at his Fortunate Offices, within the last Four Months, in which time no less than Twelve Capital Prizes have been distributed amongst them, including Two Twenty Thousands! !—Three of Twenty Thousand enrich the present Scheme, which contains 107 Capitals ; and as Twenty Prizes of 1,000/. each must be drawn in the First Half Hour, those who intend to purchase will shew their judgment in doing so before the 4th of JUNE, at 7, Cornhill, or 26, Oxford-street. Mr. TURNER, a schoolmaster, of Owlerton, York shire, was struck dead by lightning on Thursday, while passing a farm-yard : iris watch, seals, and chain were each found in different directions front the 1 1 body, and an umbrella which the deceased had with him was stripped to its skeleton. Tuesday, as Captain WILLIAMS, R.N. and his son, a student at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth, were proceeding to Bedhampton in a one-horse chaise, the horse suddenly took fright, and the chaise was unfortunately upset, by which accident Captain WIL LIAMS had one of his legs broken; his son was very much bruised, and received a severe cut in his head. Yesterday mm fling Messrs. FREDERICK and GEORGE SOMERSAT., brothers, residing with their parents, at Swan-place, Stepney, went out in a one-horse-chaise, for the purpose of going to Romford to spend the day at a friend's house : proceeding along the road leading to Bow, they met a cart heavily laden with lime, coming to town, and in order to avoid it, Fre derick, who was driving the chaise, drove it towards the side of the road, and in consequence of the wheel coming on some high stones the chaise upset, and both of them were thrown out ; one of the wheels of the lime cart passed over Frederick's body, and killed him on the spot ; his brother in endeavouring to save him narrowly escaped the same fate, but was severely injured. A letter from Glasgow, dated 'Alay the 13th, says, 1 1 THOMAS JARDIN, a seaman on board the schooner Elizabeth, of Annan, Roeen•r FoLnEtt, Master, from Liverpool for Glasgow, has made oath, that she sailed last Thursday, at twelve o'clock noon, from Liver. pool, and on Sunday last, the 10th instant, when he• tween Corsewell Point and Ailia, betwixt one and two o'clock, p. Iff. by shaking a reef out of the main sail, accidentally the block and top of the main-sheet gave way, when, unfortunately, the Master and two of the men went overboard and were drowned, Trto- WAS JARDIN being the only hand left on board. As the schooner was going before the wind with a crowd of sail, he saw them in this melancholy condition for several minutes, and being unable to render them anyassistance, they perished. He .vas, however, able to bring the schooner up to. Greenock himself, but does not know to whom the vessel is consigned."

THZ KING V. :MOH IaRCIMON, I.IIQ. Mr. WILD stated to the Jury (which was special), that this was an inslictment against the defendant, who was a Magistrate ; and who, not regarding his duty in Mich character, and in violation of all his sa cred functions, did licence one Thomas Wright to keep a common ale-house, well knowing that he was a most improper person to keep such house. There were seven other counts in the indictment, which charged the defendant with having similarly con ducted himself in seven several instances. At half past nine o'clock Mr. Justice Asaorr took his seat upon the bench, and shortly afterwards the Jury were impannelled and sworn.. Mr. Scaaterr, in 'opening the case to the Jury. , begged that if any of them that were then on the Jury should have served on Saturday, that they' , would forget what had passed on that day. The charge, he observed, was one of a most serious na ture, and he did not know of any one, under the shape of "a misdemeanour, more serious. Mr. TOPPING here observed, that he understood that five of the Jury, who served on Saturday, were in the box—not that he mentioned the circumstance as a matter of objection. Mr. Justice ABBOTT—The present charge is as different as possible from that of Saturday. Mr. SCARLETT said, he was passive on the subject. Mr. &alarmism; observed, that they did not mean to object to any of the Gentlemen. Mr. Justice ABBOTT stated, that if any objection to them was to be received, it ought to have been made before the Jury were sworn ; bet they having been called and sworn, the trial must go on : the question was perfectly distinct from the one tried on Saturday: this relates to his conduct as a Magistrate. Mr. Meiceron, who had taken his seat on the floor, said that he had not the slightest objection to any of the Gentlemen who composed the Jury. The trial was then proceeded on. Mr. SCARLETT, after some very impressive and eloquent remarks on the superior advantages which the people of this country, as compared with every other part of the world, possessed in the administra tion of justice, from the highest Officers down to those of the most humble character ; and, after hav ing particularly described the important duties, as well as the high trust and confidence which were re posed in the Magistrates, proceeded to state, that the c..arge against the present defendant, who had held the office of a Magistrate; was that of having cor ruptly abused the functions of his sacred situation. He then went on to observe, that among other duties devolving upon the defendant, was that of granting licences to public-houses. The Learned Gentleman observed, that amongst the machinery of a well-con ducted Government, was that of a Magistrate, who received no pay from Government, but who was en trusted to act upon his own feelings of integrity and honour, but who was called upon by the Govern-1 ment and the people to discharge his duty conscien tiously, and thereby he would obtain the applause of those around him. It was the peculiar province of a Magistrate so situated, to take care that the public were not led into snares by the appointment of im proper persons to keep public-houses, and thereby render them, instead of receptacles for refreshment and accommodatiog, schools of indecency, immora lity, and every viLlious propensity. The Learned Gentleman warned the Jury not to find the defen dant guilty, unless the case should be made out by the most conclusive evidence. The defendant had, for many years, been a Magistrate for the County of Middlesex, and it was not in one solitary instance that he had violated his duty as a Magistrate, but in several instances in the years 1815 and 1816, even after he had received the fullest information that the houses were kept by highly improper persons ; amongst these were the following : The Seven Stars, kept by T. Wright ; the King's Arms ; the Queen's Head; the Turk and Slave ; the Adam and Eve; the Ram and Magpie ; every one of which, it would ap pear, had been kept by persons who allowed gam bling, and almost every other sort of. excess. In the year 1815, the conduct of the persons who kept these houses, became so notorious, that the constable thought fit to make a list of them, and lay it before the Magistrates at the Quarter Sessions ; notwith standing which,' however, they were all re-licensed. Soote of them were the property of Mr. Merceron, and of others he received the tents. The Learned Counsel concluded by observing, that corrupt mo tives were attributable to the defendant, for no man would act corruptly unless he had a motive for so doing. Mr. J. Underton, a clerk in the office of the Clerk of the Peace, proved that Mr. Merecron was in the Commission, and had been so for '2O years. Mr. J. W. Perry was head constable for the parish of Bethnal-green for the year 1515. He, accompa nied by the Headboroughs of the parish, went round very frequently to inspect the conduct of the different public houses. Among others, he inspected most par ticularly the Sevcn Stars, in Fleet -street, Bethnal green. This house was conducted in a very bad man ner, by keeping open till one or two in the morning. All manner of persons of the lower order s young peo ple of both sexes, assembled there ; they were gene rally playing at cards, 20, 30, or 40 at a time. He frequently remonstrated with the landlord. He found this to be the case whenever he went round. The house was open during Divine Service on Sunday. His remonstrances were not attended to. He also visited the King's Arms, in George-street. One Sun day forenoon, about a quarter before 12, he found about 30 persons in the room, smoking and drinking, and playing at shuffie-board. He found the house open,several times during Divine Service, and people drilling. The house was open very late at night, to twelve and one in the morning. Frequently remon strated with the landlord without effect. He likewise visited the Queen's Head, in Fleet-street ; it was con ducted as badly as the two preceding cases ; gam ing, bad hours, and open during Divine Service. He visited the Turk and Slave, in Brick-lane ; it was as bad as the others. He sometimes found it shut up at night, as if there was no one there. They got in with difficulty, and found no company below stairs ; but afterwards, on going up stairs, they found 30 or 40 people, drinking and smoking. He got admission with difficulty, but perceived no gambling ; they often turned people out at late hours, and while they wee going out at the front door, the landlord was letting the people in again at the back ; knew Mr. Merceron, acting as alKagistrate for their parislt.4— Shortly before the licensing day, in September, 181.5, he was sent for by Mr. Merceron, to his Office in Brick-lane. Mr. Merceron asked him, whether he had any complaint against victuallers on the next li censing day ? Witness said, he certainly had, for he had found many o; the publicans very disorderly.— He mentioned particularly the four he had now spoken of ; and stated to Mr. Merceron what he stated to-day. He said, he thought their conduct was ex tremely reprehensible, and that they ought to be se verely punished for it. He added, that he must re port them before the Licensing Board. Mr. Merce ron upon this told him to be careful what he did, and not to be litigious, as his report might be the cause of these people losing their licenses, and themselves and family be reduced to beggary. Witness told him he understood he should have to take his oath when he came before the Magistrates, and that be would take his oath correctly. Mr. Merceron replied, he must send to the persons in question, and admonish them, and that no doubt he should find their conduct bet ter. He said he should be on the bench on the li censing day. Witness attended on the licensing day. Mr. Merceron and Sir D. Williams were alone pre sent. A question was put to witness by Sir D. Wil liams, how he found the morals of the licensed ? He told him he had found them very bad, but he had had an interview with Mr. Merceron, and that he had promised to give them an admonition. Mr. Merce ron replied, I have taken care of that, Sir Daniel: I have seen them. V.ltness was sworn ; he was not asked to name the houses, and no more questions were put. The victuallers were then called in. If it bad not been for what Mr. Merceron said to him he should have presented these houses ou that day.— The licences were renewed to the same persons. Wit • ness visited the same houses again, and did not find their behaviour ai all improved. He was treated af terwards with insult, and he was less attended to than before by the !audio: ds. Cross-e.ramined.—Was appointed to the office of constable in 1815, about Easter. On every visit he paid the houses, he found them equally ill conducted. He did not recollect all the Ileadborouglis that at tended him ; Mr. Field, Mr. Cadoux, and Mr. Smith, attended him. During the whole of his office he never laid any information before any M *strate, except Mr. ilerceron. He knew these pe were offending against the law, and liable to pen ties, and yet he, as constable, never laid any information be fore any other Magistrate than Mr. Merceron, who said he need not r any further. At the commence ment of the licensing business there were but two Ma gistrates present. There were great heats and ani mosities in the parish. Witness was a partizan for neither side, and never had the slightest difference with Mr. Merceron. Cadonx, J. Smith, and J. Field, Headboroughs of the parish, in 1816, gave evidence to the same effect. 1. Reynold...on, a Constable in 1816, said, on the licensing-day in that year Mr. Merceron asked him if he had any complaints to make against public houses. He said he had, and named the Seven Stars, the Adam and Eve, the Ram and Magpie, the Turk and Slave, and the Golden Key. I►lr. Merceron slid, he should be careful what he said, as he misht deprive the occupiers of their living; and that it he would leave it to him, he would see and talk to them. Witness asked him, whether, when he came before the Magistrates, he should not be obliged to take an oath as to the publicans ? Mr. Merceron answered, that he would ; but that was merely a matter of form. Witness told him, he could not take the oath that the publicans were orderly, when he knew to the contrary. When witness 'vent before the Magis trate., Mr. Merceron, Sir Daniel Williams, and two Or three others were present, and witness was asked if he had any complaint to make ? He told him the Golden Key was a disorderly house. That was all he was asked. He did not mention the rest, because Mr. Merceron said he would see the parties and ad monish them ; he did not know that Mr. Merceron was the proprietor of any public•houses. J. Lefevre, J. Gardiner, J. Scrase, J. Essex, and W. Fishwick, corroborated the testimony of lteynoldson. Mr. Guitsav proved that he took the minutes be fore the Committee of the House of Commons in the year 1816. Mr. Merceron had access to those mi nutes. On the 17th June, 1816, the minutes appeared to be corrected by Mr. Merceron: he sometimes cor rected them with pencil, and sometimes with ink. Mr. TOPPING submitted, that if any of these mi nutes were read, the whole of them ought to be ; and that they could not be received in evidence, it not being .a voluntary deposition of Mr. Merceron, but compulsory. The COMIION SIIRJEANT followed on the same side. Mr. Justice Aasorr was of opinion, that the evi dence was receivable. The evidence was then received, from which it appeared that the defendant was the owner of several public-houses, among which were the Seven Stars, the White Swan, and the King's Arms. He also produced lists of other public-houses, of which he received the rents, including the Turk and Slave. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. TOPPING then addressed the Jury for the de fendant, and said, the evidence he proposed to call was, for the purpose of shewing that he could not have any corrupt motive, inasmuch as he had no other interest in or controul over the houses than what arose from the right of a landlord to distrain for rent. He then called Mr. C. Lush, a Solicitor, who proved that Mr. Merceron had sub-let the houses in question to Hanbury and Co. the brewers, and others. Mr. Justice Aaaorr, in summing up, observed, that there was no part of the functions of a Magis trate more important than the licensing of public houses ; the trust was indeed sacred, for upon its due discharge depended the health and even the lives of the lower orders of society : dissipation led to crime, and crime to death. With regard to this offence, charged to have been wilfully and corruptly committed, it was fit to remark that, in order to maintain it, it was not necessary to chew direct pecu niary motive in the defendant to grant licenses in opposition to his owa conviction of the unfitness of so doing ; it was enough to establish, that the defen dant had even a remote and general interest in the renewal of the licenses.
