Pixmen, and several orders made by him, relative to a Charity left to the parish of Lambeth, and the' case subsequently came before Sir .1. LEACH, the pre sent Vice-Chancellor, who ordered a Receiver to be appointed for the estates of the Charity. From this decision there was an appeal by two of the tenants of the estates, who contended, that no Receiver should be appointed, as there was not a legal Trustee to the Charity. Mr. WETHERELL made a most able and luminons speech for the plaintiffs ; and was followed by Mr. MOORE 011 the same side. Mr. HART, and Messrc. ROUPELL and HortNn, were heard for the dc'fendanzs. The LORD Cif INCELLOR-1 am rimv obliged to leave Court; and shall hear the case at an early period. SEDGEWICK AND ANOTHER V. WALLACE. Mr. Home—l am extremely sorry to detain your Lordship one moment; but the motion I have to make is one of considerable importance. The Loon CDANCFLLOR (who by this time had left his seat) replied, Why, I ,hall hear it with plea sure, if it is a short motion, as I must go, I am son y to say, elsewhere. Mr. HORNY—It will not, my Lord, take up much time. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Then go on. [His Lordship came back to his seat, but stood the whole time, with his official hat in his hand:] . Mr. Harare then said, that the plaintiff's had been executors to a Mr. Davies, who had given them se veral legacies, in which were included a number of slaves. The defendant, Mr. Wallace, was their agent in the West India Islands, and he had not accounted for the money he had now received, but he was about to leave the kingdom, and therefore the present ap-1 plication was to prevent his doing so by a writ of Ne treat. Res no. The LORD CHANCELLOR—To what amount do you swear that he has defrauded you? Mr. HoRNE—He says himself he has received 7001. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Then take the writ as you have moved for it. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER 16. Westminster-Hall was this day crowded, at an early hour, with persons of all ranks and descriptions, brought together by the general understanding that Mr. CArtkiLE was to be brought up for judgment, and by an apparent curiosity to see his person, as well as to become acquainted with his fate. This circumstance having been foreseen, was provided for, and Mr. LEE, the High-Constable of Westmin ster, with a strong civil force, although they could not prevent the continual increase of the crowd, had made such salutary arrangements as served to main tain order, and secure free egress from, and ingress! to the body of the Court, in favour of all those whose presence was necessary. In consequence of Mr. Justice BAYLEY'S being en gaged in another branch of the Couit, it. was late in the fornoon before the case cf the King v. Carlile was brought under consideration. A mot►on which Mr. DENMAN was about to make, on a subject -of public importance, was deferred at the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE'S request, till the Court should Le full. SEDITIOUS LIBELS: TAB KIND B. ROBERT gIiORTSR. On the motion of Mr.Lirrt.EDALE, this defendant, who is a Stationer and vender of Newspapers, was brought.up to plead to two Informations filed against him by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for two alleged libels, the one published it The Republican, and the other in Sherlitn s Political Register. The first* Information, which was extremely long, having been read, Mr. DEALTRY asked him whether he was Guilty or Not Guilty ? Defendant—lf I plead now, when shall Ibe put upon my trial ? • CHIEF-JUSTICE—That does not zest with me, Sir; you are only now asked whether you choose to plead or not ? Defendant—But if I plead now, shall I be tried now ? I am charged with publishing a seditious libel, which I certainly did publish us a Newsman, and I say I am innocent ; I am ready to be tried now. Cuitcr-JusricE—l cannot appoint when your trial is to take place. Defendant—lf I plead now, shall I be under the necessity of procuring bail, because I am at present unprepared ? CutEF-Juszte*--The Officer will inform you upon that subject. Mr. DEALTRY—Other persons who have been charged with similar Informations, have not been re quired to put in bail. Defendant—Btu they did not plead. CII I ET-JUSTICE—They chose, I understand, to avail themselves of the time allowed them by the practice of the Court, to consider of their pleas. Do you wish to have a similar indulgence? You can have time, if you choose. Defendant—But, my Lord, I do not want this to be hanging over my head.. It is to me the greate,t punishment to be kept in suspense. If I plead now, when shall Ibe tried ? Ant Ito be kept' in suspense • until after next Term ? you are now required to is, to answer the question which is put to you. .Do you choose to plead or not? Or will you take time to plead ? Defendant—Still, am I to,be kept in suspense until after next Term? CHIEF Juvrioe—l cannot answer' that -giestiou, Sir. I caniet appoint your trial. • • •=. Defendant—Well, 1 will consider of it, ; 47, " . ....14. 11, * adig4ll#ollllll.. sorer in two or three minutes• F. 07; are there in that Information? Ct Mr. DEALTRY—S,Iven. Mr. DEALTRY :Len proceeded to read the oration for the alleged libel in Sheru;•l', Pol Register, and having concluded it, Le ake‘.:'' fendant whether he intended to plead ;a thi s formation? . . Defendant—l plead Not Guilty to brlth li mations, and the son;v7.r the trials are brour the better.—Tne defendant then wired. The SoLicrren-GE.:Ftt 1. was now called . move, but said he w:)uld nct until the full, Mr. Justice BATLEY being detained in Bail Court. CittEF..iusricE—l know there is a case sondi for judgment this morning, hut we cannot gi it until my brother IiAYLEY comes (who was t bail in the Duchy Court). He will be detainee where for a few minutes, but in the interim tie, take such other, motions as the Gentlemen of the. • are ready with. THE KING V. canna. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL prayed theJudgm. the Court on the Defendant, Richard Carlile. had been convic ted of a blasphemous public the last Nisi Prius Sittings in the City cf Lando , An affidavit was put in relative to the number • • price of the copies which had been sold. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE read his notes of trial, in which he cautiously abstained from r the biaspherhous roaster contained in the lihe h Mr. DI.NMAN then rose and observed, that it not his object in :•ow addressingihe Court, to any thing in the way cf extenuating that offence which the defendant had been convicted, or for purpoe of mitigating' that punishment . which Court might think peeper to inflict. His motion this occasion would be in arrest of judTment., withstanding the advanced stage of atese ings, and the peculiar and interesting native .subject ; notwithstanding, too, his own peculiar k Lion, in being called on at so late a period, to 31 himself to a subject of such magnitude; he felt in accepting the tru-t, he was only fulfilling. the most serious duties incumbent on a Cott, Fortunately, it Would not be necessary fa r hira very far, or to consume any gie:.t I e:tion of Lordships' time. His observations wou:d be er; confined to the question, whether or n. t tin on the floor had been legally convicted ? He . be able. as he conceived, to shew sufficient ,'ice: to entitle him at least to a Rule to shew judgment in this case should not be acre-t: . point certainly appeared to him to be deo. consideration, and, by the principle of law, • e fenclant Was entitled to the benefit of any ::::jecti, which could be raised at any period, however" of the proceedings against him. In the present stance, Mr. Carlile had defended his cause in his ot person, and individuals so acting often had a conk derable advantage. They sometimes brought the review of a Court - of Justice, sentiments and nions, which persons more conversant nith prudence, and more exercised in habits of legs cision, would not regard as capable of beier: cc: died in the form of just or tenable propesh'-' was, no doubt, the business of a Compel p to follow his instructions, .But it was impossi he should not reserve to himself some di co addressing enlightened minds as to the ar i ;, which he offered to their consideration. might be past when it would he competent to maintain before their Lordships, that to coristi offence of Libel, it was necessary that it si: directed against some individual. This princi to be found laid down in Ccmyn's Digest Pleas of the Crown ; but he was aware that the had been accustomed, in numerous cases to r as libellous, works affecting the character of vernment, or the general administration of ju. Such a position could net be, therefore, I.l— whose professional experience made them carp half with the jurisdiction of the Court. It; however, a doubt existed as to what Christianity was, it differ ent opinions prevailed, and if the law, within the memory of man, had been changed in telathin to i. it might become a matter for inquiry Whether the Christian Religion, as now established, was that which was recognized by the Common Law? lie submitted this point generally, and left it for the opinion of the Court ; but his next argument was, ht presumed to think, worthy cf deep and ample consi deration. On a subject of such importance it was necessary to speak guardedly, for they all knew how extremely prone the feelings of mankind were to em barki themselves in questions of this nature. But, f by the law the mode of proceeding, in this instances had been improperly resorted to, it was his duty, oa behalf of the defendant, to point out the original error. His opinion was, that a different form of Pro secution would have been more fit, with reference to the character of the publication in question and it he could maintain that opinion, he should have lad sufficient ground for his present motion. The objec tion had nothing to do with the defendant's ininaence or guilt, or with any other question on the interesting subject of religious truths. Ile was precluded hurl taking up any such ground by the Stattite, the 9th and 10th of William and Mary, which defined certair. offences, and preset tired the mode in which they shouM be prosecuted. It was, however, with relation to 'de Statute, he brought forward the present applicatiou• He conceived _that when the Statute was passed, I. was intended to supersede the common law, g ith re' gard to all those offences which came within its pur view. Perjury was ildeed an offence both by the common and statute law, but he should easily be able to sliew the distinction lietween . that Statute and the one on which he now relied. Them nas another instance in which a misdemeanour still continued to he equally cognizable in either point of view. He meant the offence . of regrating and forestalling, whicit was an of.ra.inre at commou law, but which was made a statutable crime, by the 6th of Edward VI. (Here the Learned Gentleman read the particular clauses iv bottr . ..tirts, pointing out the distinction.) But tar ...tot of. the. 9th _and Illth William and Mary rr: defined the offence, but annexed new and s ;c -ritic pinidties... This appeared to him to operate a virtual' repeal of the :See haw the Judges could resihne the discre which they had before,. after the Legislatuie a thus - interfered. Parliament would appear to I ea' iliferferrti in Vain if the common law might sti I resorted to.
