LAW INTELLIGENCE.. COURT OF RING'S MICR. Jan 9. TSB ZINO, OH THZ PROSZCATION Of VIZ MARQUIS OP ZRZTILR, Ip. DILACARD. Mr. Gtrearr sheered cause against a rule obtained at the commencement of the Term by Mr. Clarke, calling upon Mr. Drakard, of Stamford, to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for printing and publishing in his News paper, in the month of March last, a scandalous and defamatory libel upon the young Marquis of Exeter, in the form of a letter addressed to his Lordship, reflecting upon his moral conduct towards the femak inhabitants of Stamford. It will be recollected that when the Rule was moved for, the Court expressed some doubt of the propriety of granting it, inasmuch as the Noble Marquis's affidavit did not sufficiently traverse the statement respecting his conduct in the alleged libel. The letter in question, which appeared to be written by a skilful hand, purported to be an admonitory address to the young Nobleman, cautioning him against the repetition of vices which marked his first dawn of manhood, and beseeching him to restrain a disposition which portended a state of confirmed de• of mind and manners. It indirectly charged with various acts of indecorum, and the viola tion of decency towards the young ladies of the town, whom it was stated he treated with libertine freedom —that he was in the habit of parading the streets up and down all day long, on horseback and on foot, under the auspices of a Captain Percey—rudely star ing young women out of countenance, as they stood at their father's windows—kissing others in the most public manner—peeping into windows of private houses, and winking at females of eespectable cha racter—misconducung himself in like manner at the public theatre—presuming upce his lordly rank, to rake liberties, and insult young females, to the . great annoyance of the whole town, and to the violate= s public decency and decorum. Mr. GORNIY. in :hewing cause, commenced by 'saying, that on the presentroccasion he was instructed , to discharge the Rule—not upon a single affidavit alone, but upon a multitude which would completely . satisfy the Court that they ought not to interfere by the unusual process of criminal information. He was not driven to contend for the propriety of the letter addressed to the Noble Lord ; upon that sub ject he should not say a word; but he might be per mitted to say, that there might be many libels brought before the Court, where the Court would say that the Jury wore the proper tribunal to deter mine the guilt or innocence of the publisher. In desiring the Court to interpose by the extraordinary mode of criminal information, it was the universal rule to call upon the party seeking such a rensuly to negative the defamatory allegations, plainly, pointed ly, and unequivocally—nay, in such a manner that perjury could be assigned upon the affidavit. Now, on the present occasion, the affidavit of the Noble Lord, instead of containing a distinct denial of the facts set forth in the alleged libel, he contented him self with a commentary upon the supposed intention of the publisher in writing the letter, without con descending upon a distinct traverse of the circum stances set forth—he satisfied himself with asserting " that such insinuations and statements were ground less, - false, and malicious." Supposing, therefore, that the publication in question was libellous, the Noble Lord had not done enough to warrant the Court in their interposing. The matters charged against the Noble Lord were, that he was in the habit of riding and walking in the streets of'Stamford, and conducting himself in an indecent manner towards the females of the town—that he also conducted him- , self in like manner in the box lobbies of the theatre, to the great violation of decorum and propriety. These matters were not sufficiently denied, and there fore the Noble Lord was not entitled to ask the Court for a Criminal Information. There was a multitude of cases in which this rule was strictly held to obtain; and there was nothing in the present case to take it out of the rule, that the facts alleged as libellous must be pointedly traversed. The Noble Lord's affidavit was supported by that of Captain Percey, who also stated that on all occasions he had of observing the conduct of the Noble Lord, he always demeaned himself in a manner becoming a young Nobleman towards his tenants. Now what that demeanour was, it was very difficult to imagine from the terms of this affidavit. Lord ELLENBOROUGH. - Why, he means with courtesy and kindness, and not with an abuse of his station. Mr. Gunxtv said, that he had the affidavits of several persons who gave a different account of the Noble Lord's conduct. Those affidavits he had shewn to his Learned Friend, and he was bound now to read them to the Court. Mr. CLARKE objected to the reading of the affi davits, on the ground that the deponents only spoke from hearsay, without naming who the persons were from whom they receive their information. Mr. Ghats: contended that he was at liberty to lay before the Court such affidavits, as would afford a sufficient apology for the publication. The Court, in such a case as this, would not receive the affidavits subject to the same strictness as viva voce evidence. He had, however, several affidavits which were free from this objection, and amongst others that of Mr. Drakard himself, who stated facts which came within his own knowledgc and personal observation. The effect of these affidavits went to shew, that Lord Exeter and Captain Percy were in the constant habit of riding up and down the streets of Stamford, look ing in at windows, and actually staring the daugh ters of respectable inhabitants out of countenance, then returning before they had gone fifty. yards to the same amusement—observing the same conduct at the windows of ladies schools and milliners' shops. It was unnecessary, however, to detail all these affi davits, it being sufficient for the defendant to offer such an apology, as he humbly hoped would be sufficient to discharge the rule for a criminal infor mation. It was sworn that the Noble Lord was in the habit of repeating his improper conduct fifty times a day. Lord ELLENsoamon—Give us a sample of your affidavits, which state any particular facts. Mr. GURNEY then read the affidavit of an indivi dual, whose name was not mentioned, stating that deponent was acquainted with a respectable inhabi tant of Stamford, who bad two dauhters remarkable for their beauty, and that be ba d observed Lord Exeter and Captain Percey pass up the high street, and repeatedly look up at the window where the young ladies were sitting, and as repeatedly drive them from their seats by the rudeness of their con duct, and returning at intervals, to enjoy the same kind of Lord Inesonouon—Are these facts stated in such a manner, that they might be the subject of actual trial ? Mr. Gummi replied in the affirmative, and added that the affidavits stated that these gentlemen were in the continual habit of parading the streets in this manner fifty times a-day. Jie also read the affidavits of a lady, who keeps a boarding-school at Stamford, and another lady named Bolland, a milliner in the town, both of whom bore testimony to the annoying conduct of the Noble Lord and his military friend towards the females under their care respectively. Mr: CLARILZ said, that if the Court thought these affidavits a sufficient answer to the application for a criminal information, he should not press the matter further. Lord Exeter did not deny his walking-in the streets of Stamford, but he totally denied the truth of the scandalous matters contained in the libel. Lord ELLawsoitouom—The repetition of the act complained of—the sort of staring into windows, repeated so many times, imports the conclusion that something of the kind did pass; and therefore that which is made matter of complaint on his part, is not suf f iciently made out to warrant a criminal information. He may go before the Grand Jury, but there is no ground made out for a criminal infot mation. Mr. Cltaitz—This young Nobleman is only 18 years of age. Lord ELLE' a libel or not. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—You have the power of proceeding before the Grand Jury, and that very promptly. Mr. GURNEY assured the Court that there had been no repetition of publications of this kind, and Mr. Drakard swore that he had not sold more than two coes of the paper beyond his regular circula tion.—. Rule discharged. GLOVER O. THE DRURY-LANE THEATRE. This was an application to set aside the inquisition before the Sheriff, in an action by the husband of Mrs. Glover, the actress, for nine weeks salary, at 101. a-week, claimed to be due to the plaintiff from the defendants, but which had, in fact, been paid to Mrs. Glover herself, who, it was stated, lives sepa rately from her husband with her children. The Jury gave only one shilling damages, and the ground taken for setting aside the inquisition was, that the Sheriff had misdirected the Jury in point of law.— 'lt appeared that the verdict had proceeded upon an idea that Mr. Glover had tacitly acquiesced in the payment of the salary to his wife ; but it was con tended for the plaintiff, that the money had been paid to her under a protest on his part, in violation of his marital rights. The Cowir held that it was impossible to make Mrs. Glover a fene sole by the custom of the Theatre ; and as her husband had a right to her earnings by the laws of the land, the verdict was wrong.—Rule absolute. ELECTION SLANDER.-LACY RASHLEIGH. This was a motion to bring back the venue from Cornwall to Middlesex, in an action for slander, of a very offensive description, alledged to have been spoken by the defendant of and concerning the plain tiff, at the Borough of Fowey, in Cornwall, for election purposes. The action had been originally laid in Middlesex, but was moved by the defendant to Cornwall, and was now desired by the plaintiff to be brought back to Middlesex, on an affidavit, stating, that he believed lie should not have so fair a trial in Cornwall as in Middlesex, where he was well known. The COURT discharged the rule, holding the affi davit for restoring the venue insufficient. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. SCARLETT moved for a Rule to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against The Times Newspaper, for publishing a scandalous and defamatory libel, of and concerning Lord Charles Spencer Churchill, purporting to be an account of a late unfortunate accident on the King's Road, on the 20th ultimo, in which a Lady named Sherwin came by her death, by the overturning of a gig, in which she, another young Lady, and a gentleman named Tooke, were riding, charging the Noble Lord with being the culpable cause of the accident, from his negligent and improper driving a gig, in which he was riding. The alleged libd was contained in a letter addressed to the Editor of the Times, and purported to be an exaggerated account of the tran saction.--The Court were at first very much disin clined to listen to the application, but upon its being stated that the proceedings at the Coroner's Inquest were untruly stated, to the Noble Lord's prejudice, the Court granted a Rule to shew cause. HOLLOWAY V. GRIFFITH'. An order having been made by the Coln some days since, directing the defendant, an at , to pay over certain monies received by him to the tiff's use, and also to deliver his bill of costs, Mr. E. LAwas now moved to set the order aside. The circumstances were these—Some time since two young Noblemen were guilty of a violent as sault upon the Plaintiff and his wife, the former of whom was a turnpike -gate keeper, and the defendant having been employed to prosecute the parties at the ' instance of the plaintiff, and the trustees of the road, the business was compromised by the parties paying 1901. Of this sum the plaintiff only received 104 1 and the defendant had declined rendering any ac count of the remainder to the plaintiff, on the ground that he was accountable only to the Trustees, by whom he was retained ; but the Court were of opi nion, that as the money was received on account of the plaintiff's injui ies, he alone was entitled to receive it, and therefore confirmed the order. SOUTHWARK SESSIONS. Yesterday the Sessions were held at the Town Hall, Borough, before the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR, the RECORDER, Mr. Alderman J. J. SMITH, &C. &C. Joh* Driscoll was indicted for having, together with nearly 50 other persons, riotously and tumul tuously assembled, on the sth of April last, to break and disturb the peace, and for having assaulted the Rev.
