I Mr. DENMAN moved for a Rule to spew cause cLy a Criminal Information should not be Sled against Joint ARTHUR BoRRON, Esq. one of th e J._.tices of the Peace in and for the County Palatine of Lancaster, for having, for fear, favour, or affec tion, refused to hear and examine certain witnesses, teadered to him to give evidence, touching and concerning a certain felony alleged to have been committed, within the said County of Lancaster ; and for having refused, or neglected to grant 2 Warrant for the apprehension of the person so then and there charged with such felony as aforesaid.— The motion, he observed, was grounded on the affi 4avit of Charles Pearson, Gentleman, Attorney, sup parted by those of two other persons ; one named Richardson, who had beer. wounded at Manchester ; final the other R. Rimmer, who had witnessed the transaction. The affidavit stated, that on the 26th of October last, the .ciepouent attended at Warring tun, where the said John Arthur Borron, Esq. acted as Justice of the Peace: that he there stated the de position of Richardson, which was to this ef fect :—That on the 16th of August, the deponent (Richardson) was walking quietly through a certain s:reet in' Manchester, when he was met and attacked by —, (the name of the person charged was not given), a rinu.mber cf the Yeomanry Cavalry of Man chester: that the said Yeoman cut at him with his sword, by which he received a wound which severed his nose transversely : that other blows were aimed at him by the said Yeoman, by which his hat was deeply cut ; that he (the deponent, Richardson) had given no provocation to said Yeoman, and had done nothing which could call for such an attack on him.' The affidavit further stated, that at•the time the de ponent (Mr. Pearson) stated this fact to Mr. Borron, the aforesaid deponent (Richardson) was in attendance, and ready to give his information on oath ; as were also a person named R. Rimmer, who had witnessed the transaction ; and another person, an old man, who was ready to depose on oath to another violent attack Living been made upon him by the said Yeoman.— These circumstances the deponent (Mr. Pearson) men tioned to Mr. Borron, and called upon him in his odicial capacity to interfere, and take the depositions, and grant a warrant for the apprehension of the per. son so charged. To this, Mr. Borron made a long reply, urging several reasons why he did not wish to interfere, mid among other , , giving the following " That he" (the said J. A. Borron, Esq.) " declined any official interference with regard to individuals 'who could with difficulty be separated from the Manchester Magistrates." Mr. DRNXIAN added, that the reason why the de positions had been delayed from the time of the oc currence which gave rise to them, to the 26th of Oc tober, was, that the deponent (Richardson) could not snake out the person who had cut him. At the mo ment he was wounded he had'taken particular notice of the person, and had described him so accurately, that be was afterwards recognized from the descrip tion. He (Mr. Denman) had no other facts to allege against Mr. Barron, but he submitted that what be had stated was sufficient to justify the Court in grant ir.g a criminal information, on the grounds of par tiality, and a neglect of his duty as a Magistrate,' Ile tested upon the Statute of Philip and Mary, which directed Magistrates to take depositions against persons accused of felonies, in order to have them returned to the Assize, that the cause of justice might tot suffer. Mr. Justice BATLIT.--DOes the affidavit pot state any other reasons tined by Mr. Borran why he did r.c t take the informat►ons? The Loan CHIZIJUSTICE.—Does it not state, that be bad any other motives for refusing—such as the want of time, or it not being in his district? Mr. DENMAN—My Lords, the affidavit in one part states, that the Magistrates of Warrington were sometimes in the practice of hearing cases which oc curred within the district of the Manchester Magis trates. There were, it was true, several other matters stated by Mr. Borron in his answer on the occasion, but he (Mr. Denman) had not put them in the affi davit, as he did not think they were of any importance. If there was any fault in not having done so, it was his, for he had advised such a proceeding. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—NO doubt, Mr. Denman, if you had found any thing in the answers which could qualify the words cited, you would have mentioned it. Mr. DENMAN then submitted, that he had shewn grounds for their Lordships to grant the Rule. There were several cases where the Court had granted cri minal informations against Magistrates, even where no corrupt motive had been shewn. One, in parti cular, he should rely on—it was that of the " King v. Brook," in 2d Term Reports. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—You need not go fur ther, Mr. Denman ; we think that enough has been shewn to call upcn this Gentleman for his answer...— Take your Rule.

If we may credit the rumours at the Stock Ex change this morning, a mast extraordinary and , unexpected discovery has been made. It appears that Ministers have been so hard pressed for mo ney to pay the late Dividends, that they were under the necessity of borrowing One Million, through private channels, upon Exchequer Bills, dated the 20th of October and November, 1819 ; some of those Bills were this day purchased on 'Change for the first time, consequently they are now sliding into circulation by degrees. As four months' of over-due Exchequer Bills have not yet been ' vertised, some people imagine that this issue is to provide for those 04 -standing Bills. The apprehensions which the prevalence of con tagious fever in so many foreign parts, have reason ably excited, has called forth the following precau tionary measure on the part of the Government of, this Country: _ _ _ " Comil-Office, Whitehall, November 6. " San—The Lords of kis Majesty's most Honourable Privy Council having had under their consideration your letter, with the inclosure therein referred to, by which it appears, that in consequence of the Mayor of Liverpool having received informa tion that an alarming fever prevailed in the city of New York, to such extent that a great part of the inhabitants have left the place, for the safety of themselves and families, directions have been given by the Collector at that Port, tb prevent any inter course with vessels arriving from New York, until the strictest inquiries shall hive been made into the drcumstancm of the voyages, and the health of the crews and passengers, I am di rected to acquaint you, for the information of the Commissioners of his Majesty's Customs, that the Lords of the Council en tirely approve the measures of precaution taken by the Officers of Liverpool on this occasion ; and are of opinion that the same should be strictly observed, until further directions be given by their Lordships. (Signed) " CHE WYND. " To Grottos DELAVAUD, Esq." " N. B. The Commissioners of Customs have transmitted orders, in conformity, to Collectors and Comptrollers of the Out. ports generally." Yesterday, at three o'clock, the Eail of LIVER POOL, Viscount CAerLEREAGII, and the CHANCEL ' LOR of the Excutoren, had a meeting with Viscount SID MOUTH, at the Secretary of State 's Office for the Home Department. His Royal Highness the Duke of KENT entertained a select Dinner Party at Kensington Palace, in cele bration of his Birth Day. The party consisted of about twenty persons, among whom were-- His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, his Royal Highness Prince Leopold of Saze Cobourg, General Wetherell, Captain Conroy, Captain Parker, and other persons of distinction. After dinner seveTal excellent Songs and Glees were sung by professional Gentlemen. Mr. M'DERMOTT (from Dublin), the celebrated performer on the union pipes, first played God save the King, in so fine a style as to delight the company. The Duke of KENT called for Erin go Bragh, which M'DERMOTT exe cuted with the most touching pathos and effect. The Duke of Sumac then called for the favourite old Irish air, Gramachree Molly, which was also most delightfully performed. Prince LEOPOLD desired *Damson . to play a favourite Scotch air, The Birks vr Invermay, which he immediately did with equally fine effect, and ;he company expressed their highest satisfaction at the whole of his performance. Sir EDWARD 'HATCH/HILL, Bart. was yesterday unanimously elected to succeed his lamented father as Member of Parliament for the County of Kent. In his Address to the Freeholders, the Honourable Baronet observed that, " he had a right to say that he was independent ; by than he meant, that he would never act upon principles which were not in the strictest sense of the word prompted by those feelings which independence would dictate; and he trusted that, whenever he came to render to them an ac count of his conduct, he should not alone elicit, but deserve, their approbation. To preserve to the Crown its prerogatives—to the Nobility their privileges— and to secure to the People their rights, were the true duties of an independent Representative. The Honourable Gentleman concluded, by pledging him self to the utmost of his ability, to maintain those principles ; and while he yielded to his Majesty's Mi nisters every expense which was necessary to the well being of the State, to exert every influence in his power to prevent an unnecessary. expenditure of the public money."—A rumour prevailed, that it was in tended to introduce a Loyal Declaration, relative to the proceedings at Manchester ; a strong muster, however, of the opponents of such a measure, it was presumed, deterred those who might have contem plated such a side-wind operation, from carrying their intention into effect. Sir CHARM, MONCK has addressed a letter to 'a Provincial Paper, in which he disclaims any concur rence in the Resolutions adopted at Alnwick Castle, recommending the formation of corps of Yeomanry Cavalry.—‘ , I have many objections," he says, " to the formation of Corps of Yeomanry Cavalry in time ofpeace, when the purpose can .only be Military in terference in Civil Government. If I mention my chief reason, it will be sufficient at present; namely, thak 1 think that the laws of England, which affect the personal freedom and safety of Englishmen, ought to be executed upon them by persons who are in every way subject* the same laws." COURT OF KING'S BENCH. TILLS DAY. ELECTION BRIBERY. Tilts morning Mr. SwAwn appeared to reed* the Jud4ment of the Court for wilful and corrupt bri bery at the last Election for the Borough of Penrhyn, in Cornwall. The ATTORNEY-GZNYEAL moved the Judgment of the Court. Mr. Justice In?, before whom the defendant was tried at the last Assizes for Cornwall, read his Report of the trial. Mr. SwAnn, being asked if he had any affidavits? answered, " None." He then addressed the Court, and said, he had attended to the Report read by the Learned Judge, which he conceived to be correct.— When on his trial, he had been deprived of the legal assistance of a Gentleman he should have employed had he not then become an Officer of the Crown.— He then undertook his own defence, but was so much agitated, and , so much oppressed with the heat of the Court, that it overpowered him, and prevented his making that defence which would have saved him from the disgraceful situation in which he now stood. It might be said, why then was, he a second time un dertaking his own cause ?—it was because, that as he had no affidavits to offer, there was little necessity fur Counsel; and the expensive contested elections he had stood, and the prosecution of the House of Commons, the former of which had cost him £7,000, and the latter £1,200, had rendered it inconvenient for him to meet any additional expenses. He enter tained a high sense of the magnitude of the offence of which he was convicted ; an offence which should meet with severe punisbment, as it tended to bring' into contempt the House of Commons.— He adverted to the fact, that he had been acquitted on all the charges brought against him, by a Com mittee of the House of Commons ; and that he would not then have been found guilty, had not the Solicitor to the Treasury gone down to Cornwall to collect evidence, and on that founded dm two counts on which he had been convicted. He did not wish to reflect on the late Attorney-General, whom every person must respect : but former Attorney- Generals thought they had executed the duties imposed on them by the House of Commons,when they confined the prosecutions to the Minutes of the Committee.-- He thought if their Lordships considered the cha ractei: of the evidence against him, they could not think it founded on truth. Was it likely, that a Can didate should go to an Elector, as he was said to have done to Peter Jenkins, and say, " If you will tell me your mind I will tell you mine ?" No! the truth was, when he went to this Wilkins, he was told that, as he had voted for him at four Elections, and received nothing, he had sworn to his wife not to vote again unless I would give up the note 1.._ The fact was, that, unwilling to loska voter, he had prevailed on Mr. Glasson not to put in force a debt against Wilkins. He said corruption had raged at Penrhyn fur more than a century; public breakfasts were given when the price of a plumper was twenty four guineas; he had never given one of them break fasts, but had maintained the honest independence of the town, and provided labour for them in the public' works with which he had been connected. If he had wished to be corrupt, he might for £5OO have always secured his election. For eighteen years, that he had been an active Member of Parliament, he had never broken bread at the expense of his; Country. Even the night before his trial, he could, for £4OO, have secured the very note which procured his convictica. Mr. Swann then stated, that as his connexions were in the West-Indies, he had written to the Attorney-General, to defer judgment until Spring ; but the Learned Gentleman refused, and immediately called . upon him to give security for his appearing for judgment. Officers had been sent to his house, who alarmed his family, rushed into his bed-room, and treated him as if he had been a felon: a traitor, a murderer. He then read a written tes timonial of the services he had rendered the town.of Penrhyn and the County in general and declaring, their belief that he was not guilty of the charge which had been made against him by the persons who had so largely partaken of his bounty. This was signed by 150 respectable inhabitants. . The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied to the observa tions of Mr. Swann, and defended the conduct of the officers of the Court. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in giving judgment, sh remarked on the magnitude of the offence of which the defendant, a member of the same profession as his Lordship, and an active Magistrate, had been convicted; he then passed on him the Judgment of the Court, which was, that he, M r . Swann, should be confined in the King's Bench Prison, for the space of One Year. Lora Enamors)); has declined signing his name to the "Loyal Declaration," circulating in Devonshire ; and in a very manly letter which he has published in vindication of his conduct, observes--" I cannot con sent to brand, as threatening the subversion of all order and Government,' those Public Meetings which, with very few exceptions, appear to have been called according to the form prescribed by law, and with .the lawful view of making a statement of grievances, sad of petitioning for their redress; but least of all prrld I do so at a time when, in consequence of recent intents, Lie expression of that opinion must, as I con ceive, be construed into an *direct approval of he manner in which one of these Meetings was dis persed, and into an implicit intention of supporting some legislative measures for restricting the Right of Petition in future." -: 711 E ARMY.
