111 E TING cy . the LORD MAVOR'S FRIENDS. C Yesterday a Meeting of Merchants, Bankers, tee. I was held at the London Tave rn , to cons id er o f t h e I ~.'• liett means of securing the return of the LORD MAYOR ' AS Representative of the City, at the ensuing Election. • Sir C. S. lIVNTER, Bart. being called to the Chair, co ngratulated the Meeting upon its respectability i .i.,,i numbers, and was truly hapi:v to introduce to -.• so A al A , sembly their worthy Lord Mayor in a new Jam: e:. It aa; well known; that at the laSt Elec ;' :ma he had taken 1 most active part in the return of A ;.It. T. Wilson, one of the present Members. That • . 6-ortleman, than whom one mote worthy did not • cn i,t, had offered to take on himself, if called to do sa, all those arduous and expensive duties of the Cor k %ration, which the gown and other circumstances 'at elie'it impose; but he had since refused to do this, and h i t was for this reason that he (the Chairman) had with drawn from him that active interest which he had so ,'. tli?u•ctlt('ll'elHaving '; iisposed of his friend Mr. Wilson, he was happy to 1 y x, , , i t v s eon actuated trifor b n 3 i , e former occasion, sense of danutdyi.nthis con ,: upon their attention the name and character of 1.. Lae Lord Mayor, who, not only as a Magistrate, but as a ,an, was highly deserving the admiration and .. ~y.eittle of his fellow citizens—(Hear, s hear). He - . ha i whnessed the career of the 1.0X411 Mayor for a ;one time, and frorn his activity as a man of business, b dtivotii. ii the whole of his time to his civi c d u tie s , is. .-." his integrity, and talent, he could pledge himself '-i `•-rt he was able and willing to Initial take every " '• thing for his fellow-citizens (Applawe). his Lordship was at present occupied in his arduous labours, and he trusted that every allowance would be made for '''• ki•rn in this situation. The Meeting should not for b get, that at present there were three Members who voted all on one side, and there should at least be one on the other.—As the time was now come when , I . Constitutional men should he supported, and such only sent to vote, it- gave him sincere pleasure, on 4 4 • , i ; the pre. iotis day, to witness the zeal that was mani r- fested oa behalf of :Sir W. Curtis ; and while, in the ol first instance, he should certainly support his old a' s • traeol (Sir W. Curtis), and next his valued friend, the L rd Mayor, he should be most proud and happy . 4 . at the same time, if he could, to give his assistance .4, to Mr. T. Wilson. The first was known from ex • perience; the second was, to say the least of him, a Y ea-t amiable character, and from his general keov,- * ledge of atiairs, highly qualified to become a Member ":1 of the House of Commons—(Hear, hear).—.ls to . the third, a more e orthy individual did not exist. aa lie concluded by reading the Resolutions, (/Or which 4 9* see thefrodt 'four Paper). S. Mr. BanNes, in proposing the first Resolution, af • sai J; that he had heel' called upon quite nnexpejtedly • to do so, and was, :het dote, unable to address the a { Assembly. However, he would not shrink from the f duty, actuated as he was by feelings of the highest u regard for the Lord Mayor. . - Mr. Alderman C. Smt ru seconded the Resolution. as. .. x Ile had known the Lord Mayor longer perhaps than 7, any other individual in the room ; and he could .0 state. from his experience, that he had been, tin ough he out life, a man of spotless integrity. He considered him, from his talents and worth, to he the most fit • person possible to represent his fellow-citizens in Par t liament—(Hear, hear). r Mr. Fa case was a zealous advocate of the Lo r d' `• Mayor, and trusted that his election would be car ' tied in as trinmphant a way as he had been carried ..,•'' through his late struggle for the Chief Magistracy— A ( Applause ).—The worthy Chairman had said, that the Lord Mayor had devoted the whole of his time of to iris magisterial duties ; now he could asse r t the `mss ea contrary : he had known him to have stolen many a minute from his almost incessant duties, to devote to the sacred cause of charity !—(Applause).—He had in some instances acted with him as a col league, and he discovered in him a a degree of ta lent, yet tempered with such modesty, that he 4 was convinced no man was more fit to represent his fellow-citizens in Parliament. He was a man • easy of access ; there was no pride or affectation , in his composition ; and it was through such an individual that the best interests of the People `_. might be communicated. He regretted what had fallen from the Chair respecting Mr. Wilson, and of that Gentleman being " disposed of," because he re fused the City gown. He joined most heartily in .:-- the hope of returning Sir W. Curtis and the Lord Mayor, but not in opposition to Mr. Wilson. He ~ was afraid that what had been said would injure ~; those whom they most wished to serve, because it ~. would appear that the two former would be o pp ose d g' to the Litter Gentleman. If the Lord Mayor should, in consequence, forfeit his return, it would, in his .t opinion, be the greatest loss the City of London could ~ sustain—(Andanse). ; .. e• Sir C. HUNTER regretted that his expression should e , have been mistaken. When he said he had disposed ~. of Mr. Wilson, he meant the subject, not the man. - .1 Mr. S. Drama rejoiced at the observations which had fallen from Mr. Freese. He should certainly 3 support his friend Sir W. Curtis, and it would give li,• hire equal pleasure to support the Lord Mayor, and v.' not a little to aid Mr. Wilson, so that they might 4 ,-?. have three loyal and constitutional men. 4 , Mr. C. BAECLAY (late Me,mber for the Boro ug h) .... )'; proposed the second Resolution. He had the cause ' so much at heart, that he knew of nothing he would not undertake to effect it. 3 Sir F. DESANGES seconded the motion. ;!. Mr. Daue4 moved the appointment of a Commit tee for securing the Election of the Lord Mayor, and -".. coincided in opinion that they should not only serve 1 , his Lordship, but aid the same cause by supporting 1 men of similar principles.-1 he motion was carried. Mr. BARCLAY proposed, that a Deputation, prin t" cipally of the Corporation, should communicate the .e a oceetlinos of the day to the Lord Mayor. M. -• r Alderma n C. Staten proposed, that Mr. Bar -4i i clay himself should be one of the Deputation. It r.l would be as well not to make the thing so much a t i Ccol.oration a ff air. 1-: Mr. S.

L.4W LVTELLIGENCE. COURT OF DING'S BENCH, FRBRUARY it. This morning George Edmonds, of Birmingham, was to have been brought up to plead to an Indict ment preferred and found against him at the last Warwick Sessions, for a libel upon the Magistrates of Birmingham ; but it seems he IS not forthcoming. A fat of the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of This COUTt was issued the first day of the Term for his apprehension, the Indictment having been removed here by cer tiorari; but notwithstanding the most diligent search that has been made after . this Gentleman, he has eluded, hitherto, the vigilance of the Otters ; and thus gets Over the Term without pleading, and so over the next Assizes. BLASPHEMY AND S7,DITION. George Rags was brought up this morning, by Habeas Corpus, tiom Warwick jail, to plead to two Indictments found against him at the last Session for that County, for publishing two libels ; the one being a seditious libel against his present Majesty, con tained in the 12th Number of the Black Book; and, the other being a blasphemous libel against the sa cred doctrine of Christianity. The defendant was allowed to read over the In. , dictments before the Judges entered the Court, and on Mr. WAt.Foao moving that he should be charged, with them before Mr. Justice HOLROYD, the dt-:, fendant pleaded Not Guilty to each. Mr. DEALTRY—You will be tried on these Indict ments at the next A.sizei to be held at Warwick, in and for the County of Warwick. Have yon any bail? Defendant—No, I have no bail here. Mr. DI:A Lt RY—Tlien you are now remanded back, for want of hail. If you can get bail in the country it will be taken there. The defendant was conducted out of Court in cus tody of the Jailor of Warwick Castle. THE VENDERS OF SEDITIOUS PAMPHLETS. It will be recollected that the ATTORNEY-GENE RAL, previously to the passing of the recent laws, tiled Criminal Informations against various News venders in and about London, who had been actively engaged in the sale of Carldes Publications. Among them were Dolby, Shorter, Watling, 4c. They had all been served with regular notices of trial, but this mori,ing they received the following Circular: 4 The Notices of trial given in these Prosecutions are coun termanded.—Your's, Etc. " GEO. MAULF., " Feb. 10. Solicitor fur the Prosecutions." THE KING r. GEORGE 110 Y. The defendant was brought up, on the motion of the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, 10 receive the judgment of the Court, having been convicted of receiving a bribe at the last Election for Grampound. He had no Counsel. He said he was a poor man with a family. The Court sentenced him to three months' im prisonment. THE KING V. IIAWKES. Mr. Serjeant Pzl.l. shewed cause against a Rule obtained by Mr. ADAMS, calling on Mr. Hawkes to shew cause why a Criminal Information should not be filed against him for sending a challenge to Mr. Peel. The Learned Counsel read a leaer written by Mr. Peel to Mr. Hawkes, containing reflections on Mr. Ilawkes's veracity, which produced the chal lenge. He also read a subsequent letter from Mr. Peel, containing some intemperate language, and declining the irrvitat;on to fight The LORD CUIEF JUSTICE asked Mr. Adams, whe ther he would not be content with the costs of the ap plication? He said there was not much apprehension of a duel. The Rule was accordingly discharged. TILE KING V. EDWARDS, ESQ. Mr. SCARLETT aid Mr. DENA;AN shewed cause against a Rule obtained by Air. TAurrox, for a CI iminal Information against Mr. Edwards, a Ma gistrate of the County of Montgomery, for alleged impropriety in his conduct, in committing a Mr. Wi lliams to prison on the charge against him of a rape. The Affidavits were read on both sides. The Court discharged the Rule, but without costs. THE KING V. SEWELL. Mr. MARRYATT chewed cause against this 'lnk, which had been obtained on a previous day in this Term, calling on Mr. Sewell to shew cause why a Criminal Information should not be filed against him for abusive language made use of to a Magistrate, for having committed his sons, an account of which. we have already given to our Readers. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE interposed, and asked Mr. Marryatt, if his client would not be content to pay the costs of the application? and on his agreeing so to do, the Rule eras discharged. THE KING BROWN AND OTHERS. Mr. BOLLAND moved for a Rule to shew cause why a Criminal Information should not be filed against two of the Aldermen of the City of Canter bury, and a person named Davy, for having, as was alleged, destroyed 4 hand-bill, which had been im pounded before the Mayor and other Magistrates, as evidence in support of an information against Davy, on the Statute 39 Geo. 111. for having printed the said hand-bill, without his name and address, as re quired by that Statute. The Court granted a Rule to sliew cause. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEBRUARY 11. HALFORD V. DILLON. Mr. Serjeant PELL, said, he was under the dis ' agreeable necessity of moving a Rule to skew cause why an attachment should not issue against Sir Wil liam Parker, Mr. Appleyard, Messrs. Nicholson and Boydell, kis clerks, and Edwards and Baker, the former a police officer, the latter a constable, for a gross contempt of the authority of this Court, corn ' mitted by them, in originating and executing an arrest on the defendant in this cause. It appeared by the affidavits of Mr. Dillon, that having yester day finished his argument in support of a Rule for a new trial, he had, after taking some refreshment, proceeded to the house of his attorney, in John street, Bedford-row, in order to arrange his papers; and, that while he was thus occupied, he was ar rested by Edwards and Baker, on an attachment for non-payment of costs which were now in litigation, and notwithstanding his remonstrances, was taken 'off' to a common lock-up house, where he was de tained during the night, and on being brought before MI. Justice Bayley, the next morning, he was dis charged. There was also an affidavit of the son of his solicitor, which corroborated these facts. Upon which the L?ained Serjeant submitted he was enti tled to the Rule he prayed for. But The COURT observed, that this was• a serickis *l4 Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN now attempted to shew cause, but • The COURT referred him to the cases of Moor v. Adam; 6, Maule and Selwyn, 156; and Lowry v. Doubleday, read by Lord Ellenborobgh in the course of the argument there, where it was held that none but attornies and medical gentlemen have a right to compensation, and made the Rule absolute. ADMIRALTY COURT, DOCTORS' COMMONS. The King's Advocate and Proctor took the Oaths of Allegiance.to his Majesty George IV. SHIP PETER ELLIS, JOHNSON MASTER. Dr. DODSON shewed cause against the order of the Court for the issuing of an attachment against tile person of Edwin Hunt, of Liverpool, ship broker, for not delivering up the ship's register, as directed by order of this Court, to the majority of owners enti-, tied to the possession. He exhibited affidavits of Edwin Hunt, who amended in Court, explanatory of the transaction. Dr. LUSHINGTON urged the fraudulent conduct and collusion between Robert Johnson, the Master, who had absconded, and Hunt, the defendant; and contended, that the inference of fraud and c•llusicm was justified upon the face of these affidavits, and throughout the whole proceeding, and since the Court on a former day had entertained a reasonable suspi cion of fraud and collusion on the part of Mr. llunt, and he still refusing to deliver up the certificate of register, he prayed that the attachment might forth with issue against him. Sir 'WILLIAM Scorr observed, the affidavits now read had not induced• the Court to change its opi nion, and therefore he -should not revoke the order for the attachment to issue. The only. indulgence to be granted was that the attachment should not issue for ten days, in order that that Gentleman should feel the necessity of doing that which would be ren dering justice to the other side. The Court would receive from him no more affidavits, and unless the ship's register was restored within ten days, the at tachment against the person of Mr. Edwin Hunt should positively issue. SHIP COURIER. In this case, a monition had been awarded against certain persons claiming to be the captors of a vessel, which was called the Courier, and had been carried into Guernsey, where the Officer ; by whom it had been served, was imprisoned, and the monition was • not complied with. Dr. DoosoN, in praying that the Court would be pleased to grant an attachment against the persons who had so forcibly imprisoned the serving/officer, contended that this Court's jurisdiction extended to that island ; that the islands of Guermey and Jersey, being pact a❑d parcel of the Duchy of Normandy, betarde, suloject, upon the anneitation, of that-llooliy •- • .• . . . . important proceeding, themlst penal that could issue to the Crown of England, to the leg-at - Authorities from this Court, and therefore it was necessary that and Courts of this Kingdom ; and quote.l, ~ is the affidavits should be more clear and precise than effect, one of the ()ides!. of our legal Anthoritie., who they were—that they should state at what time Mr. held that Gite•aLey and Jet -ev, •after bring aimexed; Dillon left the Court, avhere his residence in London came thus under the general jurisdictirai of the El,g was, how long he staid at his solicitor's, whether his lish law, as they phrased it in the legal idiom of thae solicitor's house was in the road to his own residence, times, "par rnison du roy.aume d'Angleterre" An 4. and why he had not applied to a Judge c' this Court, the same thing was held by the celebrated Seldc as the matter was pending here.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff,. to re cover compensation, as a witness, for his lossof time in attending a 'cause tried in the Court of King's Bench, in Michaelmas Term, 1319, in which the pre sent defendant was plaintiff. The declaration stated a promise by the defePant, to pay the plaintiff for his loss of time; and the first witness called; who was the attorney for the plaintiff in the cause in the King's Bench, proved, that the witnesses had dined, on each of the days they were in attendance, at the expense of the present defendant ; that they had re quired from him, as the attorney, recompense for their time ; and that he had,.promised to include their demands in his bill. It also appeared, that the Costs of the witnesses had been allowed, on taxation, by the Muster in the Court cif King's Bench, who ob:. served, that he allowed them as the expenses of the witnesses, and not for their loss of time. Lord Chief Justice•DALCas, who tried the cause, told the Jury that the demand was not legal, and that the defen dant's,promise was one made without consideration, and was therefore void. The Jury, however, found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages £3; and gave as their reason, that the defendant in the former action had paid till money to the defendant in the.plesent cause, whom •they considered not entitled tb retain it. Mr. Serjeant Hummel( had on a former day ob tained a Rule to shirty cause why this verdict should not be set aside, and a nonsuit entered.
