HAYES V. BARRET, JUN. This was an action to recover from the defendant acompensation in damages for an assault and false imprisonment. The plaintiff was an old and neatly Ind man, who gains a wretched subsistence by 5e11.6 . 6 small printed papers, such as Assize and Racing Calendars, Dying Speeches, &c. This man was sell rg Bolton printed copies of Mr. Hunt's Letter to the Duke of York, with reference to the treatment he melted at the Manchester Theatre, together with tie Reply of his Royal Highness. The defendant, rho is a Constable at Bolton, apprehended the plain. if without any warrant, and after iraprisoning him iz a cell till seven o'clock in the ensuing evening, QM:hi him before the Magistrates, who discharged ha lin paying 4s. costs. The defendant pleaded that he was justified in 'what he had done— fiist, because the plaintiff was a viral% wandering about from place to place, hay e,^ no visible means of obtaining a livelihood ; and ircendly, that he was an unlicensed dealer and chap ran, and therefore on that ground liable to be ap rhenikd as a rogue and a vagabond. Seticasa.: Cross also put upon the general issue, wit this paper was an abominable libel, -and that the CoristaYe was, on that account, justified in appre• sending and imp ii.oning the plaintiff. The Learned Scrjeaut embraced the opportunity of descanting, in T,4121 terms, on the atrocious libels with which, as he - 4egei, the country was every where deluged ; and .ttime.:l, that if the existing laws were not sufficient tv s'iirn.is them, a new law ought to be made. BsyLkiv said, it was his opinion, that • • .tent seas entitled to recover; be did not think . I tLe,eyingof small papers of the kind taken from !:'.e plaintiff, constituted him a petty dealer in goods, I,elres, and merchandise. With respect to the paper Kid by the prisoner, he thought it was not calcu lated to d o any g ood, or produce any beneficial der.: bat the constable ought to have laid an infor matina, if he supposed it to be libellous, and have lcrelieinied the prisoner upon a warrant. It was tlqt y also, to have taken the plaintiff to a Magi sr_ rc maileiliatclv, and not imprisoned him. His I.lli (*X 1)1 e'.. , St:Li his regret that he had been made t v, e sum of 4s. for costs. , a wish, (said his " 1 4:•iii.i that it had not been done." His Lord tip ;en .t to the Jury to ascertain the amount of the glamat,es to which the plaintiff was entitled. The Jui y ittited for an hour, and on their return 'au , Cen t t, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damar its Its , .iity Shillings. eoxsi'litAcY TO RAISE TILE WAGES OF WEA VERS AT BLACKBURN.

Mr. WlLLlAms.—When your Lordship shall bear the numbers engaged in the combination, it would appear different. Mr. Baron WooD.—lt appears to me to be only irritating matters to proceed. Mr. WILLIAMS-4 am not instructed to say that it is unnecessary. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state the case for the prosecution, and called seve ral witnesses in support of it. The defendant read a paper in his own defence.-- It represented, that those of the master manufacturers upon whom the defendant had waited, had agreed to an advance of 7s. in the pound, if. the whole would agree to it. Ile had mentioned at the Meetings, that the welvers at Bolton and Manchester had obtained the regared advance, and that, if they would follow the example, the effect would be the same. But he had stated, that he woulii act for himself, and leave it to others to act as they chose. He had never been guilty of any conspiracy. Mr. Baron WOOD summed up the evidence. If the Jury believed that the defendant had conspired with others to force an advance of wages, they would find him guilty; if they believed that he had acted only for himself they would find him not guilty. The Jury almost instantly found a verdict of Guilty. Mr. STA RICIEI..-4 move that the defendant be Committed. Mr. Baron WOOD.—James Watson, you have been ' convicted, upon very'convincing evidence, of a'very dangerous conspiracy. Such conspiracies are very mischievous, and if they were allowed there could be Ino commei ce. It is highly necessary, therefore, that they be discouraged, and put an end to. The sen tence upon you is, that you be imprisoned in the Jail of this County for one year. The defendant immediately leaped, with great agility, into the Dock, and descended into the Jail. He is an active acute-looking young man, of 23 years of age. The Court was crowded with spectators, who seemed extremely attentive to the proceedings. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PRINCE LEOPOLD and suite arrived at Gordon Castle about five o'clock on Thursday evening, from Inverness, accompanied by the Marquis cf HUNTLEY. The Duke of GORDON seemed anxious to shew how sensible he was of the honour of a visit from so dis tinguished a guest ; he, therefore, set out to meet his Royal Highness on his way from Elgin, and to escort him to the Castle. In the mean time, the Friendly Societies of Fochabers, having convened to welcome the Royal Visitor, walked in procession, with their colours Hying, to the gate of the Park, and were drawn up in two lines to await his arrival. Some hogsheads of porter and punch, ordered by the Duke, were sent to the same place, that they m i g ht drink t he Prince's health. When the 'carriages arrived at the gate, the Societies insisted upon taking the horses from the Princes carriage, and a party of their number drew it to the Castle—the rest walking in procession befoie it. As soon as the Duke had received his Royal High ness at the entrance of the Castle, a royal salute was fired. The DUlce had invited a large company of Gentlemen of the neighbouring counties to meet the Prince. Saturday morning the Prince set out with the Marquis of llonmEv, to return to iti;nrAra propose ing to breakfast at Arndilly by t he way. When his Royal Highness was seated in his carriage for his de parture, a royal salute of the guns was fired again. An order from the Prince LEOPOLD has been re ceived by a tradesman in Edinburgh, directing al Highland bonnet, with some tartan scarfs, to be pre pared before his ailival there.' The articles are com posed of the richest materials, of the Royal or Stuart pattern of tartan. The bonnet, which is uncommonly elegant, is topped with a crown of blue velvet, sue-, mounted by a beautiful plume of black feathers. .

COURT OF ALDERMEN. A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday, at which the LoRD MAYOR , presided, and the Aldermen pre- . sent were, Sir WILLIAM Corms, Birt.; Sir Joust BAUER, KW.; Sir JAMES SHAW, Bart.; J. J. SMITH, • Esq.; C. SMITH, Esq.; Sir WILLIAM DOMVILLE, Dan.; Geonoe SCHoLEY, Esq.; MATTHEW WOOD, Esq.; GEoRGR BRIDGs, Esq.; WILLIAM lIBYGATE, Esq.; R. A. Cox, E.:q.; 'torrent WArrarxml, Esq. ; • and RICHARD ROTHixF.LI, Esq. 4 Mr. Alderman ROTHWELL entered into the usual recognizances to serve the office of Sheriff. The regular husinesS of the Court haying been gone through, Alderman SCHOLEit rose, and in a short speech proposed a very highly flattering vote of thanks to the Right Honourable the LORD MAvort, for his great care and activity in preserving the peace of the City, on the occasion of the late Meetings in Smithfield. • Mr. Alderman ROTHwELL thought the proposed vote by no means adequate to the occasion, and not sufficiently expressive of the high sense the Court must feel of the wisdom and rigour exhibited by his Lordship on the occasion alluded to, and proposed a more highly complimentary Resolution, in which his 'Lordship was particularly thanked for the decisive measure of causing the arrest of Harrison, during the time the Meeting was assembled. Sir JAMES SHAW dlought,_ as there was likely to be much difference of opinion as to the wording of each of the Resolutions; it would be much better to adopt the middle course, and propose such a vote of thanks as every Member of the Court could concur in ; as a moderate vote of thanks carried unanimously would be much more complimentary to his Lordship than one more highly coloured, and carried by a small majority. The worthy Baronet then moved a vote of thanks to his Lordship for his conduct on the occasions mentioned, couched in moderate but flat tering terms cf approbation. This was objected to by the Aldermen Cox and BRIDGES as not sufficiently complimentary to his Lordship, nor strongly expressive of the opinion of the Court ; but, on being put to the vote, passed una nimously. s•lr. Alderman Wool) desired to know from the LORD MAYOR, whether ally and what steps had been taken by his Lordship respecting the horrible plot far burning the City and murdering the inhabitants, which his Lordship had communicated to the Court of Common Council? and whether any of th incen diaries, who his Lordship had stated held their Meet ings near the Guildhall, had yet been apprehended? Mr. Alderman Cox thought it quite disordeily and improper to make any such inquiries ; the commu nication was made to the Court of Common Council, and his Lordship ought not to be called upon to an swer questions as to any thing that took place in ano ther Court. Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN contended that the in quiry was perfectly correct and in order ; the fears and apprehensions of the citizens had been considera bly alarmed by the communications which his Lord ship stated had been made on oath, and it was highly necessary some further explanation should be given. If there was no real ground for alarm, the feelings of the people had been unnecessarily sported with. Mr. Alderman WOOD insisted, that some commu nication on this subject ought to be made. There could be no impropriety in the Lord Mayor's making known to his brother Magistrates information re ceived by him on oath, upon a subject which so nearly concerned them. all, as well as every inhabi tant of the city, over which they presided. The LORD MAYOR, however, though repeatedly pressed both by Alderman Wood and Alderman Waithman, maintained a solemn silence. This business being at length dropped, The LORD MAYOR addressed the Court, and said he had a complaint to make against one of the Ma gistrates of the City, for what he considered a high breach of his duty, rending to disgrace the Magis tracy, and degrade the office of Chief Magistrate ; he then named Mr. Alderman Waithman. His Lord ship proceeded to state, that his complaint against the worthy Alderman was, that after he (the Lord Mayor) had dissolved- the last Common Hall, the Alderman threw off his gown, took the Chair of the Meeting, and induced the persons assembled to agree and pass Resolutions degrading to him in his magis terial capacity. If such a proceeding was legal and proper, it was altogether useless and unnecessary to present Requisitions to the Lord Mayor as the Chief Magistrate, as the Livery might hold CoMmon Balls without his presence. Such conduct, he conceived, would not meet the sanction of that Court. He con sidered that, after the Hall was dissolved by the Lord Mayor, the proceeding to further business was illegal, that the Meeting was an unlawful assembly, and that the (Thief Magistrate would be justified in reading the Riot Act. Ile had also another com plaint to make against the worthy Alderman for his conduct while sitting as a Magistrate in the Justice Room at Guildhall. A fe:low of the name of Stocks, who had been an officer of the city, bat whom he (the Lord Mayor) had discharged, applied to the Alderman for a summons against him to appear and answer for his conduct in the Court of Common Council, at a Common Hall ; on which occasion the worthy Alderman had uttered opinions degrading to the high office he now held, insinuating that the Lord Mayor might be brought to answer before the sitting Alderman, and in the Common Hall ; recom mending the fellow at the same time to make his complaint to the Livery at the next Common Hall. His Lordship concluded with observing, that he con sidered such conduct degrading to the high situation he held, and had, therefore, felt it his duty to . subinit it to the judgmennt and consideration of A long altercation ensued as to the manner ceeding to be adopted ; at length Sir W proposed a Resolution, reciting the facts by his Lordship, and concluding with a the whole to the Law Officers, with ins search for precedents. This proposition supported by the Aldermen Cox, Heyga\ and Rotha al. Mr. Alderman Warritstax at length purpose of defending his conduct, and col the complaint against him had no referent tohis Magisterial capacity ; that the Colur a Meeting of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, but that as soon as his Lordship direct to -be removed, and quitted the Chair, warixo.looger a Common Hall, but a Meatim Livery only; that he then threw off his gown, and acted in his capacity of a Liveryman alone. With respect to his taking thethiir, and introducing the Resolutions that * were agreed to, hundreds of Livery men who were sent knew that he . u4shed to have avoided taking the Chair, and did his utmost to de cline it ; but he felt the duty imperative rii,on him when elected by the Meeting. It was also matter of notoriety, that he did not altogether approve of the wording of the Itecolutions-; •and that he had. been ' charrd with par tiality, and his conduct publicly found , flat with, for the disapprobation he had shewn. However much he might have declined taking the Chair on that occasion, he still contelde ', the Livery, when assembled, had a clear and legal right to dis cuss their grievances - in the Common Hall; and that the circumstance of his being a Magistrate did not deprive him of the poisession or exercise of that right in Common with every Liveryman, and that without his gown he acted as a Liveryman only. There was no necessity to search for precedents: similar cases were well known and remembered, and had been of frequent occurrence. Alderman J. J. Smith, who was now.present, had done precisely the same, under similar circumstances. After the then Lord Mayor had quitted the - Hall, he took off his gown and acted as Chairman to the Meeting that remained. Alder man Combe, upon another occasion, engaged to do the like, and would have taken the Chair, but that the then Lord Mayor had prudence enough not to dissolve the Hall. On the occasion alluded to, the Livery had previously presented a Requisition to his Lordship for a Common Hall, on the subject of the New Taxes; and although in different parts of the country Meotings had been hold for that purpose, the Lord Mayor refused the Requisition; and when the business was attempted to be brought forward at a subsequent Common Hall, he instantly dissolved the Hall. On the late occasion he did the same; and if the Livery could not obtain a Common Hall, and 'were denied the privilege of discussing their griev ances when assembled, they were denied a right com mon to all Englishmen, and compelled to assemble in the open street, and liable to be cut down by the soldiery, as had been done elsewhere. He was en tirely careless what vote they might choose to pass ; no vote they could come to would degrade him. He was ready on all occasions publicly to defend his conduct; but if they came to a vote, at the sugges tion of some hot-headed Magistrates, with regard to the rights of the Livery, over which they had no con troul, they might degrade themselves, but certainly not him. But he would ask, was it decorous for them, a dose Court and secret Conclave of Magistrates, to take upon themselves to call in question the right of a Liveryman, exercised at a Meeting of the Livery at large?—With regard to the second complaint, he really thought it too contemptible for much notice : had the Lord Mayor brought the Newspapers to the Court, for it was from them he supposed he had get his information, he would have shewn that there was no ground of complaint. (the Alderman) had seen but one report, and that was correct. He had not the slightest intimation of any such application being about to be made. The man applied to him just as he was quitting the Chair ; he told him he could not interfere; but be supposed, if the Lcrd Mayor had done any thing illegal, he was amenable for it at well as another man ; but that his charge would be more properly made at the Common Hall. He could have no serious intention of imputing blame to the Lord Mayor, and treated the whole business as trifling and absurd. The worthy Alder man again alluded to the former charge, and pointed out several instances in which the right had been exercised by the Livery, and particularly to the case of the Lord Mayor Turner, who on Michaelmas Day was compelled to admit the right. The worthy Al derman concluded with observing, that by depriving the People of their legal and constitutional right of discussing their grievances, they were driven to tu multuous Meetings, and the very evil was produced which was the cause of their apprehensions. Alderman J.J. SMITH corroborated the Alderman's statement: he had taken the Chair, after a Hall was dissolved: he took off his gown, and considered him self acting only as a Liveryman. Mr. Alderman Woo]) declared there were several similar instances. In the Mayoralty of Alderman Scholey, Sir William Rawlins had taken the Chair, after the Lord Mayor had quitted the Hall. He strongly contended against any interference with the rights of the Livery, and particularly reprobated the secret manner in which this business had been brought forward, without any previous notice, and at a time when the Alderman complained of might have been unprepared to skew any precedent tor his conduct. He observed, that there was not now a Court (Sir James Shaw retired before the business came on, and Sir John Earner having gone to his duty at the Jus tice-room), and he should break up the Meeting. While Alderman WOOD was on his legs, Sir Wm. CURTIS had sent out for Sir JOHN LAMER, who quickly attended the summons. Mr. Alderman Wool) was greatly indignant at this circumstance, and, persisting in his intention of breaking up the Court, left the room, and was fol lowed by other Aldermen, and the Court was accord ingly broken up, without coming to any decision upon the question.
