THE-DUKE or SOMERSET. When hi; Lonnsuip emir into Court, he wished to know if the Duke's Solicitors were in attendance? Being answered in the negative, he said, they seemed to think they owed no duty whatever to the Court. About 11 o'clock his Lordship repeated the inquiry, and still being informed thitthe same • Gentlemen were absent, he wished Mr. HART to take the trouble of sending one of the Officers of the Court for them. His Lordship did not understand their conduct—they ought to re member that they owed a duty to the Court as well as to their client.

Mr. PEMBERTON moved for an injunction to restrain the defendants faint selling or disposing of a' certain publication, entitled " Chronology of the Reigns of George the d and Fourth, by James Fordsce." Mr. PEMBERTON said, that in die year 1820, Sir Ri chard Philiips compiled a work, which he called a ge neral chronology, and in each succeeding year he in creased that work ; and that in the month of December, 182:3 3 a work was published, ()hated from the plain tiff's publication, purporting to be written by James For dyce, which work was. a mere copy of the plaintiff's, and only differingfrom it by mere colourable alterations. The VICE-CHANCELLOR.—Is there any Gentleman instructed to resist this application? Mr. PEMBERTON —I understand nor. The Vick.:=-CitaNCELLOR asked for the two hooks, and they were handed up to his flononr. Several passages wee referred to by the Learned Gentleman, which his Honour considered mere copies of the plaintiff's work, and the publication having been_ proved, the injunc tion was granted. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JANUARY w. PERJURY.—THE KING V. HALSE. This was indictment against the defendant, D. J. !false; an Alderman, and Colonel of Volunteers at St. Ives, chargiurr him with wilful and corrupt perjury, at the trial in this Court of an information against P. S. Dunn, charged with petjnry, found guilty and trans ported. The present indictment stated, that Mr. Halse being examined as a witness at the said trial stated, that on the canvass for the Borough of S!. Ives, in May, 1820, be, the said D. J. liaise, did not tell several voters that there was no time to be lost, and if they did not give their votes they would get nothing. He did not tell Arthur ltosewell to make up his mind to vote for Evelyn and Graham, and that if he did not come down to his, Halie's house, the books would be closed. The question was, whether Mr. liaise had said the words imputed to him? and which he denied at the trial of Dann. The indictment also charged the defen dant with denying that he said the voters would receive 141. but as the evidence failed in bringing that part home,it was dismissed from the consideration of the Jury. This prosecution arose out of the actions for bribery at the election for the Borough of St. Ives, in 1820. The candidates on that occasion were Mr. Evelyn and Mr. Graham on one side, and Sir Walter Stirling and Col. Eames on the other. The prosecutions for bribery, failed, and Dunn, one of the witnesses examined by a Committee of the Muse Commons in support of a peti tion against the return of the successful candidates, was indicted for perjury. The defendant, Mr. liaise, who was examined in support of the prosecution against , Dunn, was in the present instance indicted for perjury, in swearing that he did not say to King, one of the voters, " if you vote for us, you shall have 151. if suc cessful, and 101. if not successful." He was alsocharged with perjury in swearing he did not say, " Make haste; if you do not come to my house, you will- be too late, you will get nothing." Me. SCARLET? called several witnesses, one of whom, proved that the defendant, canvassing King , u sed the words which promised him 151. but that count was given up, as only one witness spoke to the words ; two were necessary to prove it in a case of perjury. Wit nesses were called to speak to the other words. They stated that the defendant did speak the words. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the defendant was a gentleman of highly honourable and independent cha racter. He was an Alderman in the Borough of Sr. Ives. By his own exertions he had raised a Corps of Volunteers, and Government had thought proper to give liar the command. This was the person who was charged with perjury. He should prove the defendant never uttered the words imputed to him. The Learned Attorney-General called -.Mr. Graham, who stated that he stood Candidate for the Borough of St. Ives with Mr. Evelyn. Sir Walter Stirling and Colonel Eames were opposed to him. In the course of that election he never heard Mr. Raise say the words imputed to him. Mr. Evelyn corroborated the statement of Mr. Gra ham. The witness never gave Mr. Halse any money for election purposes. Several other witnesses stated that they did not hear Mr. Halse say the words charged in the indictment. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in his charge to theJury# said, if you are not satisfied lie said these words you ought to acquit him. The parties might so under stand the words; but unless the defendant said them it is quite a different thing. It is not likely he said them, because it was imprudent for a person in his situation to say so. The crime is serious in its consequences; -and if there be any doubt an your mind the defendant is entitled to have the benefit of it. The Jury found the defendant Not Guilty. • SUPREME COURT, CALCUTTA, JULY 24. CRIAI. CON. HENRY SWETENHAM ROBERT ADAIR MACNAGHTEN. Mr. Tuftrosi opened the pleadings. This is an ac tion brought against the defendant for criminal conver- Aation with the plaintiff's wife. The plaint was filed ho the 7th of March, and the defendant pleaded the ge neral issue. The damages were laid at 100,000 rupees. The ADVOCATE-GENERAL then: rose and addressed the Court nearly as follows My Lord, oil this oc casion I need not launch out into the topics usually, dwelt on in similar cases, because I think it would be impossible for me, my Lord, by any language 'of mine, to paint the injury cone to my client m darker' or stronger colours than it must present itself to your Lordship's mind. The defendant in this case is a Lieu tenant in the Army, and Deputy Judge Advocate Gene ral at Cavrnpore.. Mr, &.vetenham resides at Futtegliur in char,ge of an extensive district. He was married, in 1818, to a daughter of Mr. Donnithorne,ot. the Civil Service. It vis as a math in every respect - well .propor tioned—a match too of affection. _ She was about 17, singularly bea,utitul and accomplished—the plaintiff yeas 7 • , about 23. For font. years they lived together with a harmony and. affection seldom equalled, and never ex ceeded. In this state they were living, when, in Sep.:: ' tember last, while Mr. Swetenham was on a visit to Ciampore, at the house of Captain Blackett, the defen dant, Mr. Macnaghten, presented himself. Mr. Swe tenham became pleased with his manners, which are, I understand, vert 'fascieating, and invited him to come and visit him at his house at Futteghur. - Whether from that moment he 'premeditated the dishonour of his friepd, or whether the idea of committing' this criminal act afterwards presented itself to his mind, I'cannw pronounce: fo: the honour of humen nature, however, it is to be hoped that the latter was the case ; but that ' as it may, he went to visit Mr. and Mrs. Swetenham in October last, at Futteghur, expecting to find the m there; they were absent, however, in the - district; but Mr. Swetenham, expecting Mr. Macnaghten, left directions with his brother-in-law to receive him. lie had taken his departure before the at rival of the defendant. He had only returned to Futteghur two days, when he was obliged to go again into the district, and considering the short time hi; visitor had bear wish him, he felt it .in cumbent OA his laispitality to invite Mr. Mecnaehren to accompany him pn his journey. Those who knew of the unbounded hospitality pi eva d ing in the Upper Pro vinces will not be surprised at this. It, in feed, we are to repose no confidence—to have no faith in the pm i.y of conduct of those around us—then i, there an end at once to all the intercourse of se city. But solely blame can never be imvuted to my cl!ent—!:e can never be' charged with wart of caution---that he did not meanly harbour in his breast arsuspicion that the defendant eves the contriver of his ruin, .a dank. plotter against hi, peace and happiness, ,The defendant and a Mr. Man gles accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Swetenham on this journey into the district; they travelled in tents, and my client was under the necessity blgoing daily to his Kutcheei, at some distance from the tents, in the dis 'charge of the multifaiie us and pressing 'duties im posed on him in the management of a large district, e and of remaining until late in the afternoon. The w defendant occupied a tent near that of Mr. Mangles. In the beginning of November, a short time after Mr. Mangles' departure on his return to Futteghur, a Choop rassee of my client's, thinking he heard some one call him, went into the dining tent, and I leave him to de scribe the condition in which he saw the,parties: suf fice it to say, that the dishonour of my client was_com fileted. The servants did not, at this time, ieform their master of the affair; for so great was Mrs. Stretenhain's influence over her husband, owing to his excessive fond ness for her, that they.were actually afraid to mention it; and so it turned out that this intercourse went on, and has continued up to, the - preent time. The part) returned to Futteghur together; and it so happened that my client was again obliged to go into the district shortly after. He lett Mrs. Swetenham behind him on this occasion; her house, however, was in the same coin pound with that of her brother-in-law, Captain Smith. The defendant having learned the day settled tar the .departure of my client, alsn fixed his for the s:ime day to go to Cawnpore ; and it will appear that he must, at that very time, have planned the elopement of my - client's wife, for he had a dawk for two persons. Mr. Swetenham had—not from any suspicion of the defer. dagt, fret he had not then the most cUstant idea of hay ing any cause, and his mind was too noble therefore to harbour any—but he had, for the sake of plOptiety„ obtained from Mrs. Swetenham, before his departure, a promise which she most readily gave, that she would live during his absence with Mrs. Smith, hes sister-in-law. This, however, she did not fulfil. While Mr. Sweten-, ham was still absent, and happy in the idea that he had left behind him a loving and faith:ul partner, he heard that the dishonour of his wife had been completed, and • _returned to Futteghur on the very night she !tad eloped. When I-ask for heavy damages ice my client—and I . do ask for most exemplary damages—l do not, I cannot, suppose that they will be admitted as any consolationno his mind for the deep injury he has sustained. I ask ibis reparation, because the law has said that it shall be (given—l ask it, because justice demands that the crime 'of the defendant should be severely visited on him— and I ask it, because, in proportion to the amount of damages awarded will the injury inflicted on my client be estimated in society. Evidence was heard in support of the Learned Conn sere statement, and Mr. Mover spoke in mitigation of damages; after which Sir A. BULLER pronounced a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Twelve Thousand Rupees.—Madras Courant, August 15, MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JAN. 19. John Brown was indicted for attempting to violate the person of Ann Doolen. The prosecutrix said, that she and the prisoner lived lodgers in the same house ; the prisoner came to her room, and tapped at the door; she refuse) letting_him in, unless he would promise not to misconduct himself, which he did ; but on getting in, he attempted improper liberties. Witness opened the window to cry out, but had not time, as he immediately shut it. After this, she *silt on to describe a long conversation, in which she 'threatened to tell her husband, and he begged her not. :Dating all this period, although the conduct of the pri 'sonernif, such as described by her, was most revolting, she never attempted an outcry, although, as elicited by - Mr. PHILLIPS, who was retained far the prisoner, there were persons in the hotise. The witness conducted her self throughout with so much disgusting levity, that ,Mr. Pitmen's, eithout calling his witnesses, left the ease to the Jury, who returned a verdict of Not Guilty. James Ives, who was found guilty on the first day of the Session, of conspiring , wit h a p erso n named Head- Ingham, who has absconded,. to, accuse a gentleman of intending to commit a nameless offence, was sentenced to twelve months imprisonment and heed lebour. Joseph - Wiee,•the informer, who WsslOund guilty, on Saturday,of con Spiting to convict a stage coach Man of, carrying a greater number of outside passengers than arc allowed by law, was sentenced to six Months im prisonment in the New Prison; and Wiaiarn Jeerson, his witness, who was found guilty of conspiring with him, to six meinthi imprisonment in the House of Correction. ....
