After commenting so foul and so tinfouuded a calumny. on this speech, the Learned Counsel went on to argue The hand-bill was then proved and read. It was to that this hand-bill was only a warm expostulation, and the effect above set forth, and was stated at the bottom did not amount to a libel ; and even if it did, that it to have been" printed by Merridew and Son, printers." bad not been published by the defendant.

The Jury had heard his Learned Friend talk of malicious feelings; what did they think of malicious actions? M r Adams had been a banker at Coventry, in partnership with his brothet•in•law, Mr. Beck, and it Mdb at their Mr. Drinkald, the Common Councilman, one of the Directors of the Watermetes Company, applieltolhe Loau MATOS on the subject of the obstructions and other annoyances at the Tower stairs. If two lacers were appointed to attend from morning till night, the evils would, he said, be remedied. The military bad, he added, adopted a strange system at the stairs. The moment an officer of the City appeared at the stairs, a corporal and two privates followed him about while he was looking after others. The Loan hlavoa observed, that the Directors of the Company might, if they pleased, employ officers, but the City could not pay them. A regulation had beets made by the Committee, with which he could not interfere. house that the defendant had banked. In 1823, be di.sclved partnetship with his snn, and apprised the Gentlemen of that fact, requesting at the same time, that any advances required for the business might be made to hi's son. So that the plaintiff well knew that Mr. Minicabd submitted to his Lordship, that as the Directors themselves were paid nothing for their trouble, it was not reason able to expect that they should pay officers. The service would, he said, be rendered for 4s. a day. The Loan Nlevoa—To whom would it be rendered? the present defendant could have had nothing to do with the publication of this hand-bill. He was, in truth, as ignorant of the transaction as if it had never occurred; nor was it in his nature to publish an offensive thing of anybody, for he was one of the mildest and most in offensive men breathing. Here the Learned Counsel observed upon the plaintiff's evidence, and contended, that there was no plod of any existing connection in trade beta een the defendant and his son. But even if this letter had been actually published by the defendant, still he insisted that it was not libelous, although if there was anything unpleasant to the plaintiff's feelings in it, he had drawn it on himself by having given the fi r-t provocation. Every person must recollect the heat and excitation produced in Coventry by the election in Jur.e last year. Mr. Peter Moore had been for taenty sevea years in possession of the representation of that city. His friend Mr. Ellice had been the other represen tative for many years. But the tide had turned at length, and Messrs. Heathcote and Fyler were eected. The defeated party were greatly incensed at this, and got up a petition to Parliament to open the •jurisdicrion, as had been sta:ed, in consequence of Which a Bill for that purpose actually passed the House of Commons, but was fortunately thrown out in the Lords. While this was going forward. it produced the greenest excaes orient in the intniough, and election squibs, as was usual +is such occasions, were let off on both sides. The pre aunt hand-bill was nothing more than one of thes; ; si Mr. Drinkald—To the public. The Loan Mayon said, that if any of the public were obstructed, they bad their remedy, and if they would not take the trouble to summon those who put the impediments in the way, there could nor be any thing very serious in the nature of the complaints. If persons were convicted of obstructing before him, be should cer tainly punish them according to law. A tide-waiter was charged with having deserted his wife. The woman, who is old enough to be the mother of the defendant, stated that be had got into her debt 261, when she was a widow, and prevailed urns her to marry ►int ; that she had six beds upon her bridal night, and now had not one ; and that he bad, is other respects, behaved in a cruel manner to her. The defendant said that he was willing to support his wife, but she was so inordinately fond of drink, that no property would stand before her habits. Lie defied her to say he ever had struck her.—No, said she, but you have done worse, you nasty good for nothing fellow ; you have starved me, and it was because I bad nothing to eat that I scinetimes used to drink a little. • The Defendant—Wu know you have been brought home to me blind drunk by six men. The Loan MATOS ordered the defendant to make an arrange ment with the pcish officers. The order was obeyed, upon the threat of his Lordship to send the defendant to prison. GUILDHALL Yesterday, no kss than foor.atid• twenty prisoners, "all in a row," were brought up from the Compter for elimination, mostly on charges of being disorderly in the streets on the nights of Saturday and Sunday. One couple of this description of prisoners were charged by the watchman with baying been taken in the street, like the woman in the Scripture, in the very act.

The watchman and the servant proved that a pane of glass in the area door, near the bob, was broken, and the pieces of glass lying on the ground. The prisoner, in his defence, said that his hat had fallen into the area as he was passing by, and he went after it. The Alderman committed him for three months loth, tread-mill.

Mr. Eve turned it out on the 17th of October last. and a few days ago he found it in the possession of a person of the name of Mills. Mills bought it of William Lovegrove, a chairmaker, in the New Kent-road , The prisoner came to him with the pony in October last, and after apeting to bey a cart, asked permikion to leave the pony, stating that be would return in a day or two for it. He did nut return again for a fortnight afterward.; he did not then take it away, but asked to be allowed to leave it fora further time. He never after wards returned to take it away. Lovegrove kept it at half a guinea a week for 16 weeks, at the Lotd Wellington public-house--then he advertised it three times for sale, bat not immediately finding the purchaser, he worked it himself until he pined with it to Thorogeod was apprehended on Sunday by an °Meer at a public. house in the Kent-road.

" No, your Honour," she replied," let Paddy be brought before me ; let me see that be is at liberty, and then 111 pay it: Her request was complied with, Paddy was brought from the lock-up room, the money was paid, and the loving pair walked away together.
