' At a Pablic Sub-criptinn Ball at Chester, on Wed nesday night, the 4th instant, two Gentlemen, Ir. Fitz gerald and Mr. Rawlins, visitors in the town during the Race Weil, were surrounded by a number of persons, WU" REFUSED THEM 'IIIEIR NAMES, OR AN AC KNOWLEDGMENT OW ANY INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY, having at their head Mr. R. B. Williams, of Beaumai is, Anglesea (one of the Stewards of the Ball), and were by them ♦iolently thrust out of the room, and down the stairs, into the street. These Gentlemen have now to state, bri. fly and plainly as possible, the circumstances which preceded this OUTRAGE, and their own subsequent conduct, with the motives avowed by the perpetrators in justification or the act. _ _ Late in the evening, a misunderctand:ng with respect, to a seat, occurred between Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Williams, then one of a quadrille party.* The dance being over, these Gentlemen, accompanied by several others, retired to an adjoining room, for the purpose of explanation. The affair was on the point of adjustment, and each party had already admitted that the other had conducted himself as became a Gentleman, when a person named Eikin (or Iken) abruptly bustled into the room, and without hearing a word of the preceding conversation, declared that Mr. Fitzgerald's conduct bad been most improper (or ungentlemanlike), Mr.F. di rectly referred him to Mr. Williams, for a contradiction of his assertion, pronounced his interference uncalled for, and demanded his name; this being RETUSID him, obliged Mr. F. to add, 4 , Then, Sir, I insult you ; I publicly offer you an insult." The GALLANT reply to which wan, 44 I will send for a constable." Mr. Fitzgerald re:urned to the ball-room, and with Mr. R twlins, who was hitherto unacquainted with the transaction, walked about conversing on the subject; and, to explain the original misunderstanding, approached the pact of the room in which it had occurred; when, to their great surprise they beheld this very Mr. Eikin sitting cn the same bench, next to, and talking with a Gentleman who occupied the identical seat, whic h, - under similar circum stances, caused the difference of opinion already men tioned with Mr. Williams. Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Rawlins naturally paused a moment to contemplate such inconsistent elf ontery, and commented on the fact, TO EACH OTHER; but they distinctly deny that either of them at all addressed HIM in the ball-room, In about half an boor afterwards, and as they solemnly avow, without further cause or provocation, to their in expressible astonithment,:the outrage they have stated at the commencement was perpetrated.* An outrage so grossly illegal and atrocious, that, on some days atter, on Mr. Brooke and others, friends of Mr. Williams, vomiting the Mayor and Aldermen, as to what steps they should take, it was unaitimouslydecidtd by the Council that they, 00 their own statement had nothing 'to complain of, but that • Mr. F. sad Mr. R. were the aggrieved persons, aid those entitled to relreu. Next day (Thursday the Sth initard) at the request of air. Fitzgerald, Mr. Rawlins, accompanied by another Gentleman, demanded and obtained an interview with air. Williatnf, le pre sence of several Gentlemen. at the hem of Mr. Breake, when 'Air. It. communicated to blr. Williams, first on the part of Mr. Fitzgerald, and then on his own, that they being strangers in Olin. ter‘ and not having any friends there of sufficient stzpertence., to Iris. land to apply on 'such an occasion, bad written off to land by that day's post (the first possible opportunity) for one ors whom•they could rely, and desired that, until his arrival, Sir. Williams should consider the consequences of. his conduct as ihlpending. Mr. Brooke and the Gentlemen of Mr. W.'s party de clared that they would not suffer him to be called open to answer for his conduct as Steward. Mr. Rawlins replied stick might be their istentioa, but it was Mr. Fitzserald'sdetermination and his own, in amse of seek Aggravated Insult, not to suffer any distinction to be taken bet wten the individual and the Steward. Mr. R. then dominated aklir.Willisrifs whether he had not declared, on the pre vious night, that Mr. Fitzgerald's conduct had been that of a Gen tlethan in the 0/AGINAL ausaimasszavanta between them? when Mr. W. acknowledged' hat such was the fact. " Why, then," demanded Mr. Ilawlina," did you turn hitu and me out of the ball-r00m?"... • " Oh !"exclaimed Mr. Eikin (in which he was tfined by'Mr. Williams and the others),.." it *as because be n sub. . sequently called me a sattra, &c. in - pretence'of my wife andlaugh tak; and because you, Sir, identified yourself with him by walking Wittfiblatifterwards about the room." In this lane conference, Mr. Rawlins obtained frqm Lord Grey, the other Steward of the Ball, a denial of his having (as Mr, IL had been Informed) assisted those who put the indignity upon him : tine Urilihip adding that he was noteven in the roan who it cc • tarred. Thenext day (Friday,6th). ineonirquence of some doubt •Sr errinexpression of Lord blolyneux at that meeting, Mr. Rawlins in presence of a ft lend, obtained fronrhis Lordship a distinct and frank disavowal of his haviiig used any words to the effect " that 'be ('Mr. L) deserved to be turned Out of the ball-room.' • Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr.- Rawlins now repaired to Liverpool, to meet their friend front Ireland, Mr. Stainer, 4th Dragoon Guards, Midi Whom th ey tefurnedeo Chester on Su nday evening.(tkefith). ARMday, morning, finding that Mr. Williams, NOTIMUSTANDING znigurnezkuog &acme% had left the townblr. framer hadan • taterviewwith Mr. Brooke, and requested to be informed where Mr. - William., his late guest, could be found? which ififormation Mr. Brooke professed himself unable to afford. Having failed in all- further inquiries at Chester, they set out for Beautuaris, Angleeea, the residence of his father, Sir IL B. Williams, Bart. and were there again disappointed of meeting him, but received some intimation that be was in London, whither they immediately de cided to proceed, taking Chester in their way. Thursday night-(l4th iistatat),shey reached town,ind on Friday morning havingaucceeded in• obtaining his address, Mr, Stabler (after unavailing negociation), delivered to Mr. Williams, on the part of Mr. Fitzgerald, a message demanding Measurable satisfic tion fur his unjustifiable conduct, offering him (ads Conceived with much forbearance), the alternative of an ample phblic apolbey. Mr. Stamer then delivered a similar message from Mr. Rawahi —lloth, or either of which, Sir. Willi-ms tracrarzo vo•tocare, al!zging he did not conceive himself responsible, and•producing a resulatien to that effect, signed by several persons of rank and coos aid, ration. - Mr. Starner having protested against this determinatim4 withdrew. • 1 ••1 Upon deliberation In circumstances so dace% it 'Was decide& (before resorting to the last extremity) to meet itfri-Reitin face 4/5 face, and to strike at the root of -the justification put forward"ej Vow who committed the outrage. For this purpose, Mr4karn Fitzgerald, and Mr. Raclin:, notwithstanding the , ••• .• sience and distance, again repaired to Chester, and there .• front Sir. Rifkin a direct eentradiction of his own former 1 " that Mr. F. addressed him in the ball-room, calling him a.

The above is a narrative of incontrovertible facts. They are not bound to notice the absurd and vulgar calumnies which are or may be circulated by anonymous traducers, confident drat dys public will discriminate between Eti:h and the statement of men ,' avowing their names, and prepared to suvport their assertions ith their lives. They fairly relate the only grounds the Gentlemen of Mr.. W.'s party durst avow to their face, namely, that Mr. Fitzgerald addressed Mr. Falkin in the ball-room, calling him "a brute," in presence of his wife and daughter; and that Mr. Rawlins did nut desert his friend when he ti . ad been insulted. In refutation, Mr. F. offers his own denial, and Mr. Eikin's self contradiction. Mr. Rawlins leaves unanswered that part of the charge which re lates to him. There remains against them the hearsay evidence of a private conversation, but they deny that the steward of a ball count has a right to take cognizance of a private conversation upon such evidence. They insist diet e must b. some limit to his autho rity—that lie is not to lay aside all better judgment aiti discretion with impunity—that he is nut to icrget that part of his duty which enjoins an especial courtesy to strargers, and, yielding to the in temperate suggestions of others, come forward at the head of over hearing numbers in the absence of all just cause, eassusia tummy TO LAY lIIS HANDS ON ozarzniem, and with indignity and insult proceed to measures that could only be justified by some act of criminal delinquency. And will it he maintained, that the man whom even the finger of the law points out as tae responsible aggressor, shall be excused in evading the more dedicate discern ment of honour—that, after the deep injuries Mr. F. and Mr. It. have received—the efforts they have exerted to avoid this painful publicationthe many hundred miles they have travelled—the signal forbearance they have displayed in submitting so many days to unfounded obloquy, Mr. Williams is justified in finally denying them all reparation, and in anceorlim the shelter attempted to be offered him by his friends? They admit ate number and consider ation of these, but they deem it a duty to themselves and society, to protest against the claim of any set of men to trample under fort the laws of honour, and the usages established amongst Gentlemen. IThey again express the pain they feel at the measure they have been driven to adopt—they disclaim, throughout, all unworthy motives of revenge, and anticipating the establishment of their own unsullied character and reputation, they fearlessly appeal to the tribunal of public opinion to pronounce whether Mr. Willi_aciisa conduct has been that of an honourable man or of a cowmen? London, 32, Duke -street, St. James's, lila)? 21, 1325. • It is unnecessary to obtrude the particulars, since Mr. \V. and his friends have disclaimed founding any part of his attempted jus tification on the circumstances. To account for this resolution, and for the seeming sanction that it carries, Mr. Eikin's conduct must be more fully referred to. This person, to ingratiate himself with a circle in which wealth .and respectability in trade might unquestionably entitle him to move, were be possessed of the feelings of a Gentleman, officiously in terfered between Mr. W. and. Mr. F. as has been mentioned, and brought down oa himself .tbe prompt rebuff be so justly deserved. Galled by this, which be had not the spirit to notice in an honour able manner, and yet determined on revenge, he procured a party of Me associates in the room, by whose persuasion Mr. Williams unfortunately was induced, despite of the consequences, to take the part be did. Thus the cause of both is one; and so, to protect their friend, do many higkand respectable persons appear to coun tenance a man, and t• support measures they ought to be ashamed of LAW REPORT. COURT OP KING'S BENCH, JUNE is. TIE XINO V.• HUGHES. This was a rule against the defendant, to shew cause why he exercised the office of Mayor of the Borough of Monmouth, and he put in four pleas in justification of his right; first, by virtue of the Charter of the Sd year of Edward VI.; 2d, by right of the resident Bur gesses, according to the said Charter ; Sd, that the said Burgesses did so elect, by a majority of votes, the defendant, at Michaelmas, 1824; and 4th, by virtue of a bye-law, which confined the right of election to 'such resident , officers. These pleas were met by special replications, denying the right to be confined to the resident Burgesses, and denying also the fact, that Hughes was duly elected by a majority of the proper officers legally entitled to vote. Thee proceed rags were instituted:by a rival candidate, Robert Bevan, against the defendant. and he claimed being the legal Mayor. The pleadings and replications were very voluminous, setting forth, at large, the provisions of the charter , the rules of election,•and the details of a contention between the parties in the borough, set out with all the verbosity of legal supererogation. Mr. CAMPBELL contended, that all th.se replications were had, and such as issue could not be joined upon, and he qirote.l, in support of his opinion, the ctie of Cooper v. Lever, in 2d Cooper's Reports, 489, upon a , quo igatrintio, on a writ of error from the Irish Courts, respecting the rights of certain Burgesses in Galway; and also the case of the King v. Smith, in 271 of the same book, relative to the right of electing tin May or of Colchester. Mr. Cass supported the validity of the replicatiOns, andinsisted that such a case 'as that had not yet been decided. There were many cases in which such. repli cations had been held. The Marv. Latham, Sd Bur roughs, 1495, was one of these, and Lord Mansfield had there admitted the principle of 'the mode of pro ceedings at priment followed.' It was quite competent, he maintained, to question the tide of the parties elect ing undeg these peculiar circumstances; and it could not be bettersslone than by opening replications in this manner, *Nth did, in point of fact, open the whole question on wriich issue ought to be joined. The Coons were of opinion, tbat the form of /replication was bad, as it was calculated to confound tbedistinttion berstofoto pew. *rived between emporatlons de facts ad* Aire, which ea& to be squately ascertained in a dWwent eihassr. CRIMINAL INToRMATION. Mr. ADOL#MUS moved the Court for a crim'nal in. formation against a person •t the name of John Jones, for a libel upon Sir Francis Desanges, late Sheriff of London, and now }Ugh Sheriff of the County of Ox ford. It appeared that Mr. Jones had married the mother of Sir Francis Desanges, a very old lhdy, and that animosity existed between Mr. Jones, and his son• in-law. The defendant Jones •had sett[ a letter of the most abusive description to *Sir Francis, 'rho had contrived to trace the author, by means of a workman, by whom the lithographic copy had been worked. The letter was extremely long, and stated that the writer had for a long time silently suffered from the iajostize or Sir Francis Deranges.-=Mule granted. CONSISTORY COURT, • JUNE le.

One o'clock was the time appointed, but three o'clock arrived, and Mr. Enderby did not make his appear. ance, though he had been held to bail to appear at the former hour. Mr. Isaacs, the attorney, then stated to Mr. Demi, the Sitting Magistrate, that he had been in waiting with his witnesses upwards of two hours, and Enderby had not appeared, and he had reason to believe that he had absconded. His witnesses would fully eon. . firm the statement of Mrs. 'Arpin, anti if their testimony .did not satisfy the Magistrate of Enderby's guilt, the facts of hit absenting niniself, and forfeiting his recognizance, were nut in favour of his , innocence; he (Mr. I.) therefore applied fur a warrant against En derby, for obtaining nuntey from Mrs. Turpin under false pretences.
