In the cafe of an Intilvent-Debtor, who came to take the , benefit of the late Info Went Debtors' Ae,who was already clia?gt d by atrnber who had undertaken to give him his 6d. per day, :while he remained iu roll,* at hi, fuir, Mr. Jit . - tice LswßEtics,. after looking at the Lit AEt of Parliament, decidtd, that the other Creditor, who vas about to detain him allo t was hound to give him only zs. per week, upon which the note and money were given to him accordingly. PRIVILEGE OF PEERAGE. Mr. JARvis moved to fupei cede t writ of Lati:ai againfl Lord Ai timid, by the defcription of Lord Arundel, Baron Wai dour, The Court intimated that the proper way would be to plead the lltfendant's Privileges in Abate- Mr. jaavis f.,id, it had been ruled, that where a Defendant's Privilege appeared upon the face rat the Writ, as in this cafe, the Lati;at defcribing Lord Arundel as Baron Wardour, there wit, no nc cafion to be at the trouble and expenee of plead ing in abatement, but the Writ might be fuperfeded in the firll inflance. Lord ELIA BOROUG H fail that before the Union Lord appearing upon the record would not have been fufficient ; but now Peers of Ireland, Scotland, and England were entitled to Xll the privileges of the Peerage in every part of the United Kingdom. Rule a ft INCOME TAX. THE KING v SO rrLi FFE.—The defendant ap . peared in Court in order to receive Judgment upon I a conviaion for the publication of a libel. The indiament hated, that the defendant being of a wicked and malicious difpofition, and envious of the good fame and reputation of Richard Henry Beaumont, of Whitley-HAi, in, the county of York, Efq. one of his Majelly's Juilices of the Peace for the Welt Riding of that county, did on the roth of June, in the forty-fecund year of his Majay's reign, a certain writing, refpeEt ing the return of income made by Mr. Beaumont; that the.libel was conveyed in. the form of a letter, addreffed to Jofeph Radcliffe, Efq: and was enti tled—" A brief Atcount of the Condua of his Brother Jußice, Mr. Beaumont, when before the Commiffioners of the Income. Tax."—lt Rated, that it was more than probable Mr. Beaumont . bad told him as many untruths of the informa• tion the defendant had given the Commiffioners refpetting the , profecntoes income, as the prole cutor himfelf had told the CommifLiners as to the amount of that incomes So far the defendant Paid, from having volunteered his fervices, he was applied to by the Commiffioners' Clerk ; that when the profecutor was alked the reafon why his return of Income Tax was fo much lefs than it had been the preceding year ? the profecutor had replied, he bad made out his former return in a bkin'y, when he was in Lancathire, and had over charged himfelf. To difprove this, the defendant added, that he - bad a letter from the profecutor requeiling him to attend at'Whitky Hall, and affil him in making out his return ; he had done fo, and when the bu finefs was &tithed a good (upper was provided, a thing very rare at. Whitley Hall, and that after wards, over a bottle of wine, the profecutor Paid, "-If the Commiffioners knew the quantity of tim ber had fold within the Jail three years, they would play the devil with me. It has averaged me scool." The libel went on to (late, that having given this account of the loyal patriot, Mr. Beaumont, who would do any thing for Government but make a true return of his income, he appealed to hjmi (Mr. Radcliffe), whether fuch a man was not a difgrace to-the Bench of Junices, and whether it was notferving the public to expo& him ? It attri buted an excefs of pride and folly to the profecu ter, and concluded by obferving, that morality of cegidtal was not-to be expected from a man who boahed that he never went to bed fober, and that be did not enter a church above once in (even years. Lord.ELLevamtouon read his report of the trial.—The only witnef's examined was Mr. Rad cliffe, who proved the libel to have been in the de fendant's hand-writing. N 9 defence was made, and Mr. Suttcliffe was found guilty. On the part of the defendant, the affidavit of Mr. Dawfon, Clerk to the Cominiffioners was read. It hated that the pr o f ecutor had delivered, in a return of his income at 3,9001. a year. and that he was willing to pay 3901. being pue-tenth part of it; that in conftquence of information re•. ceived from the. defendant, an engineer at Ha, fax, the Comenifiioneas furcharged him 16001. timating his inert= at 5,5cc1. and ordering him. i to p a y 5501; tha.t. the profeontor appealed and gos: it reduced to soBl.'which he paid accordingly.— That the fubfequent year the profecutor returned.: his income at 52001. which the Commiffioners fur. charged at 7601. dircdiag him to pay 761. more than he had offered, which Atm he said without' staY appeal. The of of 0.; defendant hated, that in confeeptencs of a lettcr he received from the pro fecutor, he went to Whitley Hall, to affia him in making ont the return of his income, for which be was paid, two guineas. That .they fuppcd top they as Ilateti in the indiernent, and that the pro fecutor madiehe oblervation there alluded to, re fpe.ling the timber he lad fold. That the depo nent recommended him to. make a liberal return, and that upon his failure in fo doing, be (the de fendant) had been applied to by the Commiffion ers' Clerk, apd had given the information upon which the profecutor had been furobarged. The affidavit of jofhtass Ingham, Efq. hated, that be s a# acquainted with, the profecutor and the defendant ; that he tad frequently been in c ompany with the former, and had heard hint ex- Richard Henry Beaattio4, and f wide!: you are now here to receive kntence. In adminiltering the penal inflict fif ttris Court, we anoint at the faMe time that we look to the circUmitances of the Lihel itfelf, avoid conlidering the private motives of the party who brings it before the ptrblic. We are lOrry, and eve!) , one who has witilokd the procce .in7s of this day, mutt he forry that filch a feene fliould have been diielofed. It is the care of a man who calls upon the Court to punith ano• ther for an injury douc to his elvaraaer ;—but when we weigh all the circumitancrs which mor influence us in mitiption of punitilment, and ad. ; vert to thole irritations to which human nature is frequently liable-when we recollea too, t h at ammig all the affidavits read on the part of the Defeddant, no one has been contradiaed, we curt not avoid being ientible that the motive which ae 7 tuated this prt ,fecution was not a motive founded in _poi& jultice, but originating -in One Of thofe , bafe patlions which too often degrade the human ' mind. Viewing the Profecution in this light, it is impoffible that the Court can do more than pafs this fentence " That you pay a fine of 6s. 3d. and' • be committed to the cuttody of the Marfhal'of the MarthalfeA till f:elt fine is paid." His Lorditrip added, that the removal of the indictment from the Sellion by Certierari was a further proof of the Profecutor's malice. The D e fendant immediately paid the fine im poled on him, and walked triumphantly out of Court. TH E KING v. ROBERT, JOHN,AND THOMAS BRADLEY. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for the judg. ment of the Court upon the defendants. Mr. Jilt tiCC LE BLANC, before whom they were tried at Saliibury, read his report. From this it appeared that the defendants, a father and his two fons, had b.. nn carrying fome ankers of frong3led brandy on honks backs near Stockton, in January left. — Two Excife Officers came up, and attempted to feize the goods. The father called out, ‘‘ Dif mount and fight ; there are but two of them."— A defperate encounter enilied, which turned out I, in favour of the defendants. One excifeman loft his fword, and they were both obliged to make off. However, they had fiat given their antagonifts fe veral fevere wounds. Several affidavits were now read in behalf of the defendants; from which-it appeared that one of them has in confequence loft the ufe of his hand, and that another had received a cat on The fkull, which endangered his life, and ftbda*taithilti did not recoVer.for months afterwards: : • - - 3 ; !," - Mr. ItatWEb in rhitigationofpunahment'ittrged; that this was not a cafe of great aggrayliciisit, is' ,the defendants had:not carried fire Oats, ctitlarei Ivr any deadly weapons.

No diftinet proof had. keen given of mannerin which the defendants' here armed, but it appeared that the lathetrcalled t'ut, " Shoot hun t , -Tom."

He prefented himfelf as a Magiftrate of the county of York, and a perfon of considerable fortune. It would have occurred to him, if he had taken any other than his own advice, to have commeeeed the profecution for this libel, by a motion for a criminal information ; but lie was aware that the Court would have required from 11:m a fpetific affidavit of the falfehood of the libel. If his objea had been the vindication of his chaeeder, he might have brought an anion, and if no justification had been put on the record, or if a juttification had not been proyed, fearce any damages could have been large enough to have coropenfated him, but it tlead of having re conne v e t:idler ref thefe modes, he had preferred an indiCtrvnt at the Sellions, in which- his own oath was not at all neceffary. It was remarkable that in framing this indictment, though it defcrib ed the libel as wicked and malicious, the word falfe was no where to be found ; the perfon who chew it was aware that the profecutor had endea voured to defraud the revenue'. The fait was, the profecutor had attempted in the return of his income, to impofe on the Commiffioners, flatter ing Lundell his fraud would not be difcovered.— It was one of the molt infamous fpectilations that could he imagined, and he trufted that through fame medium or other, the Attorney-General would hear of it. What could be more difgrace ful than that while every honeft and confcien tious man in the Kingdom •was paying a tenth of his income towards the exigencies of the State, and the fupport of the country, a perfon .the fituation of a Magiftrate, and poffelling . an immenfe property, should be meanly attempting to defraud the Revenue of a fum, in the than fpace of two years, of not lets than aeol. The Learned Counfel entered into the detail of the Profecutor's actual returns, and the furcharges of the Commiffioners, as Rated in Mr. Dawfon's af fidavit, obferving, that the Profecutor, confcious of his impofition, had not, upon the lift occafion, .ventured to appeal. He confidered the Defen dant as a perfon to wham the public was highly in debted, and the Profecutor as a man who, by his condua, had difgraced and rendered himfelf in famous—as one who had no right to appeal to the Court for a judgment againa a Defendant who had written nothing concerning him but what was true. He regretted Mr. Sutcliffe, in his letter to Mr. Radcliffe, should have done more than Rated the bare facts—had he confined himfelf to them, nn indiament could have reached him, but upon this part of the cafe there was a materiality in the affidavit of Mr. Ingham. It was Rated, that the Profecutor had charged the Defendant as having defrauded him out of feveral hundred pounds, and had deferibed him in terms the Moll opprobrious. The Defendant; goaded by this reprefentation,. had, in writing the letter containing fats adniitted to be true, retaliated, by tiling language nt,t ftriae' ly cone'. The Profecutor in bringing up the De' &Oust for judgment, had made public, a Rory which iefleaed on him theme, difhonour, and dig credit—he had admitted him felf: on the Records of the Court as a man juitly meriting worfe epi. thets than thofe he had beftrtYeed on the Defen dant. He added, that the Profecutor, in order to harafs the Defendant, and put him to expence, had removed the indictment into this Court by Certiorari; and he terminated his remarks, by again urging the importance of the fervice the Defendant had rendered the public, and by ex preffing his deteftation of the infamous condua of men of rank and wealth, whO ought, to' be moll forward in fiipporting the Government.iti times of difficulty and danger, bafely, for the fake of raving a trifling fum, withholding the fair and juft return of their incomes, Mr. HoLLorn enforced his arguments by others equally pertinent and applicable. • Mr. Serjeant COCKLE, for the Profecutor, faid, he really thought while Mss Perk will addreffing the Court, he had mistaken his fituation, and that his Client was the Defendant inftead of the Profe cutor, for in fpeaking of him, the Learned Coun fel had (pared no epithet that was harfls and op probrious. Their Lordibips were not fitting in judgment on Mr. Beaumont s condua, but, on the Libel of the Defendant. It might be true that Mr. Beaumont had been furcharged in confe quence Of an infufficient return of his 'income, and yet he.might not be decrying of the abufe and I cenfurc he had received. He believed that ;levee,' mei in this Metropolis was to be called an infif redu:s fcoundrel becaufe he had not returned hid income, the calumny would be widely exted'd cdd The Profecutor might have intended to have acted ,cotifiientioufiy, and yet have been miftaken in his return. t . % • • Lord ELLsshowpw - L is He has excluded hitn- Vrisin the betrier kf,"thtte remark by the fabler ye:Wee:that if the Commiffioners knew the quail timber he had Cold, they would play the de li with him." • 'Serjeant Cis itt4 :fripeated, that it was the condua of the Defends ` Use Court had to confi der, He denied him atiY.'nferit for what he had done, on the face of 'his own affidavit, for it• ap •peared be had been.invited to make the difbovery of the Profecutres income to the Commiffionen.
