LAW INTELLIGENCE. - COURT OF KING'S BENCH, W nraniersa, 111• Sittings at Nisi Prius,in Middlesex, after Easter Term, before Lord TENTURDIIN and Common Juries. • MONTAGU v. DYER. This was an action of assault and false imprison. ment. The plaintiff was a stone mason, in the emplrl of his brother's widow. The defendant was a baker. who had married a sister of Mrs. M onta gu. It a ppeared by the evidence of the plaintiff's witnesses, that on the evening of the Bth of August, 1826, the plaintiff in his way home with a bundle of marble blockings, called at a public-house in Gray's-inn-lane, where he met the defendant. They drank together, and on the plain tiff's . rising to depart he showed the bundle to the defendant, and told him that he had to take it to the turner's. The defendant immediately lic ensed him of having robbed Mrs. Montagu of the blackings, and collared him. The plaintiff then struck the defendant, who returned the blow, and the plaintiff was finally 'conveyed to the watchhouse on a charge of felony. The evidence was contradicted to a certain extent by that adduced for the defendant, se veral of whose witnesses swore that the defendant first spoke about the bundle, and inquired of the plaintiff what he had in it. They denied the collaring by the defendant, and stated that the plaintiff, who appeared confused when asked about the bundle, struck the de fendant before the latter touched him. It was proved that Mrs. Montagu had lost some stone and marble, but it did not appear that there was any reason to suspect the plaintiff of dishonesty, for he had remained in Mrs. Montagn's service several months after the transaction. Lord Tawrettnart left the Jury to decide upon the confircting testimony, as to which of the parties com mitted the first assault, telling', them that the plaintiff was clearly entitled to their verdict for the false im prisonment. After r etit ing for an hour and a half, the Jury found for the plaintiff— D images 201. WEAVER V. 'OYSTER. This was an action for breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff's case having been stated by Mr. GUl lity, Ann Weaver, a daughter of the pinintiff 's fonder husband, was called to prove it. From her evidence, it appeared that the plaintiff, who resided at Bother hithe, was 64 years of age, and had formerly been in business, but now lived on an annuity of 701. per ann. left her by her late husband. The defendant, who had been.a linen-draper, was between 70 and 80 years of age. He had retired from business, and now resided at High Wycombe. The parties bad been acquainted' a considerable time; and towards the latter end of last year, the defendant made a propossl of marriage to thel plaintiff. Alter arranging the terms of the proposed settlement (the defendant stating that be was possessed of 2004 a year, besides the house he lived in), he fixed the first Tuesday in the new year for the wedding. .• The cross eaamination of the witness by Sir JAMES , SCA/MITT afforded much amusement. It appeared that the parties bad for some time carried on a correspon dence, in which they combined expressions of their amatory sentiments with religious reflections peculiar to a certain sect. The witness was asked by the Learned Counsel, whether by the union with the defendant the plaintiff had not expected to increase the num ber of Goo's creatures? To which she replied, that she did not know ; but she admitted that the plain tiff had said, that if die union was not likely to promote the glory of Gun and the good of their souls, she hoped it would not take place. A letter bow the plaintiff to the defendant., written in Drcember last, cont.ining an expression to the same effect, was then put into the witness's hand, and she stated :hat it was after the receipt of that letter that the defendant de. clined to fulfil his promise of marriage. The plaintiff first addressed the defendant as .• My dear," commen cing her letters with My dear Sir," upon which the defendant observed, that she had got the start of him in using the expression "my dear.' Sever'l tenets from the defendant to the plaintiff were here put in and read. In one of them the defend• . ant, alter referring to-the happiness which he expected to derive from his intended union with the plaintiff, stated, that he had lately heard an excellent sermon from the Acts, but bad not been able to recollect much ofir, having been attacked with a violent bowel com plaint--(Roars of laughter). With the reading of this letter the case closed, Lord TINTIOUDIN observing, that in his opinion it ought not' to proceed farther. Such an action as this, with such .cerresponden ce, ought never to have been brought into Court. He put it to the Counsel on both sides, whether they had not better consent to a verdict being entered for the plaintiff, with a shilling damages. The Learned Counsel yielded to the suggestion, and -a verdict was entered accordingly. Lord TENTERDLII immediately turned round to the students' box and said, he hoped the letters would not appear in the newspapers, as they were quite unfit for the public eye. COURT OF COMMON ,K f RAS, NAT 21. Ll3/16.--TUOILMOD rn. SMACLEL. Mr.gergeant Twoot stated the case to the Jury. This was on action for a libel contained in the Jean BNB Newspaper, in a criticism upon the exhibition of paint inns at the Royal Academy. The plaintiff had paiote4 a full length portrait of his. Majesty, for which pie Jklajesty had been graciously pleased to sit, and had seat it to the Exhibition—bassi in the notice coo. rained of it in the John Bull was s passage, to the &Mowing effect Thai the impudence of an indivi dual deserved to be 'exposed ; that a person named Thompson, who put after his name the letters , R. H. A. had painted a portrait of his Majesty. which was only fit for a sign-post at an ion, and that he bad imposed on his Majesty by asking him to sit fur his portrait, as part of a representation of his Majesty's de Future from Ireland. His Majesty had condescended to sit for a short time, and Mr. T. then stuck the sketch of his Majesty's face upon a piece of canvass, and sent it to the Exhibition as a full-length portrait." This was the libel complained of—and he contended that it, ex tended so far beyond the bounds of fair criticism, that his client was entitled to a verdict for such damages the Joey might think an equivalent for the injury a profes sional mans must sustain from a libel so unfounded and Malicious. The picture would be produced to the Jury, and they would judge whether it was such a one as de• served to be characterised as a daub, fit only for the signpost of simian. The Learned Sergeant. then called evidence, which showed that his Majesty bad sat for the plaintiff, who was to have painted a picture of his Majesty's departure from Ireland ; that a military uniform had been sent for Oa that occasion (the picture represented his Majesty as dressed io a frock coat); and that since then the canvass had been enlarged, and the Bishop's length . had been *Wised to a fall length portrait. It was also proved that his Majesty bad sat only for about a quarter of an hour, sod that in that time the sketch of the face only was taken. The closed the case for the plaintiffs Kr. Sargeast WILDA addressed the dory for the deo; faidaat t aid onteaded that Goalies like damage could Pave been sustained by the On the contrary. production of his genius...toe pictuie of our revered Sovereign, was produced in a Court of Justice, in Lon don, as a specimen of his talent. Where could he have exhibited this with so much advantage as in London, a place of no inconsiderable taste, and where with so much effect as in a public Court of Justice, the proceedings of which went Co the farthest extremi (es f the kingdom ? He had been benefitted rather than injured. and could not therefore have pleaded any spe,ial damage. . Criticism should not be too closely confined, and in the case of Carr v. Hood, Lord Elleriboiough decided that the greatest lati tude should be allowed to the critic, who was as useful to the public as the author. The defendant accused Mr. Thompson of having painted a bad picture, little better than a daub, and further charged him with having been careless in having painted a, portrait of his Majesty with only a single sitting. He further accused him of having appropriated a pic ture, painted for one purpose, to another—in having changed the object, and sent to Somerset House, as a mere portrait, that which was to have represented his Majesty on the occasion of his visit to Ireland. The picture of the King was of more consequence to the world than that of an ordinary person. It was an historical painting, and the artist owed it to the world not to send forth such a picture with all the characteristics of being a hasty production. The plain. tiff .had not ptoved having obtained Vo r permission of his Majesty to change the object:of the picture. The libel also put a certain number of letters after the name of the artists and put immediately after those letters a note of interrogation. The notice of such a thing as this showed the straits to which his Learned Friend was driven to make out his case; but surely it was too much to say, that the readers could attend to the punctuation of every thing they read, or that such a Offing matter as punctuation could at all affect the merits r f the artist. Why might not a critic say that a picture was a daub, and unfit for any other purpose than a sign-post? He might say so if he chose, and no one could say that malice was to be inferred, for all pictures were placed in the exhibition at Somerset House, expressly to challenge criticism. Thidefendant was allowed to exercise a judgment, and that judgment might be erroneous, but that would not war rant an action for libel, or there would be an end to all criticism what ever. Malice niust be proved, but here it was admitted that there could be no personal motive, and therefore his Learned Friend had no ground to stand upon. The libel stated that bis Majesty never sat for that portrait, and this was the fact. He sat for the face to he painted for another picture, and the other parts had been subse quently added, for which parts his Majesty did not sit. The Com JUSTICII said, that itXFpeared to him to be necessary that it should be in evidence for the plain tiff that his Majesty had sat for the portrait, or he must fail in his action; and with the permission of Mr. Ser geant Wilde, he would then allow Mr.'Seigeant Teddy to supply such evidence, in order that I.e might not be talsen by surprise. It was necessary to do so, because every count in the declaration stated, that the portrait was painted with the permission of his . Majesty. Mr. Seigeant Wang had no objection to allow such. evidence, if it could be adduced. Mr. Sergeant TADDY declined advancing such evi dence. _ _ The'Curee JUSTICI said. as the objection came so late, the better way would be to let the case go on. with liberty. to Mr. Sergeant Wilde to move for a nonsuit, in case the Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff. He thought however that the face could not be considered as the portrait. Mr. Sergeant Wilma then proceeded to argue at some length that the criticism was perfectly fair and justi. fiable ; or if not, that there must be an end to all &hi cism whatever, for if a man had not a right to sal that a picture was a daub, so neither had he a right to sad that a. book was not worth reading. The question lot the Jury was, not whether the defendant had formed a just opinion upon the picture, when he stated that it was badly painted, but whether in such judgment as he did form he acted bona fide or maliciously ? The CHIEF JUTICS their charged the Jury. The question for their consideration was, first, whether that part of the criticism which commented upon the merits of the picture, was fair ; and next, whether the defend-. ant was warranted in imputing to the plaintiff a fraud upon his Sovereign? With respect to the &Apart, an erroneous judgment would not warrant a verdict for tbt plaintiff. Thu cAte of Carr v. Hood had been alluded to, and he was disposed to go the full length of Lord Ellen bot ough% charge in that case, excepting that, io his opt- Dion, ridicule should nut be resorted to beyond what might be duetted towards the book itself. With respect to the second part, he must say, that the evidence nega tived-the assertion that his Majesty sat for the portrait in question. He had sat for a picture, but not for that, and his Majesty bad therefore been imposed upon, if a portrait which he was asked to sit for for one purpose, was to be devoted to another without his consent. If the Jury thought that the John Bull had made a true state ment of the history of the poftritit, and if they thought the criticism was not dictatEd by malice, the kieftwiaot was entitled to their verdict.. The J4ry almost immediately returned a verdict for the defendant. The Marquis of Cowyngham, Sir W. Knighton, and Sir Tuoi., Lawrence, were on the Beach during the trial. Yesterday an accident of a distressing and fatal na ture occurred in the New Horse Bazaar, Gray's Inn Road. Me. Theodore Lane, a young Gentleman, 2S years of age, and an artist of considerable merit, called upon his brother-in-law, Mr. Wakefield, surgeon,' of Battle Bridge, for the purpose of proceeding in his gig as far as Mill-hill, Hendon, to join a party of friend. and relatives, who had gone there to spend the day. Mr. Lane's Lady had previously set out for the place, with one of her brothers. Mr. Wakefield having to visit a patient in Manchester -street, Gray's Inn Road, drove there with Mr. Lane, who to pass away the time occu pied by his brother•in-law with the sick person, entered the Bazaar. He was not long therevrhen a crash was heard immediately over the Auctioneer's stand, and presently the unfortunate Gentleman *as seen tumbling through a sky-light in the roof of a, pOrtico which stands in front of the betting-room, when his head, coming in contact with the flagging beneath, be was killed en the spot. — Jost at this moment Mr. Wakefield came up, but so disfigured was his friend, that it was some time before he knew him, but when the melancholy truth forced itself upon him, he sunk beneath it, yid lay in a faint. ing fit for some considerable time. The sad occur rence is supposed to have arisen from Mr. Lane barring struck his heel against the rim of the skylight, while drawing his head from the window of the Betting room, and being thus thrown off his centre, fell back wards in the way stated.

WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday Henry Grindley, who was remanded on Wednesday last, on the charge of rubbing the chambers of Maxwell Windle, Esq. of the Cloisters, in the Temple, was brought up for further examination. William Mears, an elderly man, and Marsha Mears, his daughter, were also put to the bar, on the charge of participating In the same, and other similar robberies.

He searched her, and found two keys Inc patent locks, and a penknife in her pocket. Ile took a bat off the prisoner's head, which he 'now produced. Ile then searched the house of the old man, Mears, next door, where he found two pairs of boots, and a pair of altered trousers. Culquhoun, Esq. student at law, said he lived at No. 43, Lincoln's han.fields, and that he left his chambers at half•paet four in the afternoon, and returned at seven, when he found the doors open and the things all in confusion. He missed the greater part of his clothes, and found a chisel and a hat belonging to some stranger in his room. The blee cap now produced ; be believed to be his property, as well as the penknife, but did not like to swear positively to them. Ile could swear positively that the hat taken off Grindley's head was his. The trousers bad been altered, and should not like to swear to them. Brown said the bld man was a tailor, and be had most likely altered the trousers. • Ralph John Mason, of Museum•street, bootmaker, said he made the pair of boots produced, for Mr. Colquhoun. The other two found at Mears 's were odd'onea, and had the name cut out of the linings. He could not swear that they belonged to the two odd boots left at Mr. Colquhoutt's. 'Graves, the gaoler, produced an instantaneous light box, and a complete set of centre bits and other housebreaking instruments, found in the female prisoner's room. • Mr. liviserr. the Magistrate, inquired whether Mr. Windle had received the whole of his property? and that Gentleman answering that he h.ttl not, the pri+onets were remanded till Wednesday next, to give Crown time to look for the rest of the missing articles.

Mr. RAMLINSON, to the Officer—ls she in the family way ? Buckeridge—l believe not, your Worship. Mr. RAWLINSON—My good woman, you must be sworn. Mary Hagan- , -I tell you again I won't.

The prisoner, after considerable hesitation, said his name was John Rogers, and giving his residence, said he was a gentleman of independent fortune. Mr. Marsh stated, that he was in the pit of Astley's Theatre, standing on the side ; the prisoner pressed close upon him, and on passing him got hold of his seals, but fortunately be had a guard-chain, and the prisoner not I being able to draw the watch out. dropped the seals ; he immediately seized him, and gave him into the custody of an officer. The officer stated. that when he took the prisoner to the watchkouse, he said he was sorry for what bad happened, be refused to give his name or address, and offered him money to let him go. Oa searching him he found 9s. and a silk handkerchief. The prisoner, in his defence, denied the charge altogether ; he attain independent circumstances, his father and connections of the greatest respctability, and his cha ractrr, until the present moment, was unblemished. Mr. Marriott said, she use was clearly proved against him, and he should com mit him for three mouths to the Moose of Correction, to hard labour. • UNION-HALL Yesterday a good deal of amusement wee excited during a recon ciliation that took place between a female named Hamilton and her husband, who accused her of having criminal conversation with a man named Jenkins, who also attended with the parties at the office, for the purpose of making a public declaration of his innocence of the alleged accusation. Hamilton and his wife are a young couple, and Jenkins, the man who was represented to have been the gay deceiver," is quite bald, and old enough to be the grandfather of the fair lady. Hamilton, who had grief and woe depicted In his countenance, stood forward, and addressing the Magistrate (M. Slvaiser, Esq.) said, " Your Worship, I have every reason to believe this man (pointing to Jenkins) has been on the most intimate terms with my wife—irdeed, a report of that nature has been spread all over the neighbourhood, and lam at present inclined to credit it. The man, however, declares that he is not guilty, and a a proof of his innocence, bas voluntarily come forward to snake a solemn decla ration to that effect." Mr. Swum', addressing Hamilton, observed, that very possibly there might have been an intimacy existing between his wife and Jenkins, without the slightest grounds for an accusation of the de scription alluded to.' • • Handhors—None Worship, I am afraid it is too ttue--however, I shall be satisfied, and my mind made easy that my apprehensions were groundless, If Jerkins makes . alidavk .that he is innocent of sedueink the affections of my wife. Mr. Swaney observed, that notwithstanding it would be ex ceeding his line of duty to administer an`oath under such tircum= stances, yet u there was a probability of bringing about a reconci- Listion between a man and his wife, he should feel the leas hesita don on that account. The Magistrate then having asked Jenkins whether he.was 'Ming to make oath that he was not criminally , connected with Hamilton's wife, Jenkins replied, in a firm tone of voice, that be was most anxious to do so, as he could with truth. The oath was then administered to him, he emphatically easclainsing on kissing the book, "Su help me GOD, I have sworn to the truth." It was Impossible not to observe the extraordinary change produced in the countenance of poor Hamilton on witness ing the solemn declaration of his wife's innocence; he eagerly caught lair in his arms, and embracing her exclaimed, " I am now a happy mats: He then begged his utiles forgiveness far his unjust suspi cions, and having thanked the Magistrate toe his attention to the et" Ittputles left Ilmv dive ft theivalt asuicibk - tams imagi nable with ow anther.
