HEATHFIELD, Secretat7% No. 13, Old Broad street, August 1624. urged the necessity of not having such a case to be de cided by one individual Judge, without the means of supporting it by the weight and authority of all. Under! 41t the circumstances, he trusted that his Loidship, would postpone the tri4l to the next Assizes. The parties were able and disposed to give any amount of bail that might be required, the witnesses might then be all ex . him from obtaining a certhrari where all the para., were not ptment in an application. He ap i rrehendei diet it was every day's practice to grant the certiorari to one party in a misdemeanour, although others ins ii. eated might notjoin in the application.ln a cast id which Mr. Brougham was lately Concerned, such an applica tion was made and objected to; but the Court deter mined that the absence of some of the patties shculd not fetter their discretion, if sufgeient ground were shewn for granting the Certiorari. If this defendant ba.t applied, it would have been for the Court t' have es ercised that discretion t but it was not a matter of course, as his Learned Friend had stated, that such applications were always granted. He contended that a Special Jury might have been obtained without rem!- . sag the case into the Court of King's Bench. The; was a provision in the 30th section of the 6:h of George IV. ~doter which a Special Jury might be appointed-by his Vordship, as Chief Justice of the County Palatine of 'Lancaster, and it bad long been the practice of that Court to appoint them.

LANCASTER, 'Mo. id. THE ZING V. WILLIAM WAKEFIELD. It having been generally understood that argument would be heard this morning, upon an application to put off the trial of William Wakefield, the Court was exceedingly crowded. The Jowls entered the Court • at n i ne oclo c k, and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. SCARLET; Mr.l3eourannat, and other Counsel engaged in the cause, took their seats shortly after. Lady Conn' sat next the JUDGE, and the other places generally al lotted to Ladies were closely occupied. Mr. SCARLETT said, he understood with surprise that opposition was to be made against a motion he was about to Stltelfit to tho Court, for a postponement of the trial of Mr. Was. Wake fi eld , who, jointly with his brother, was under prosecution f or an offence under the statute of Philip and Mary. If such an application had been to be made under the Common Law before the passing of the lith of George the Foal th, the postponement would be claimed as of right, and it would be granted as a matter of coarse. That statute,which had been intended to rep late political cases,very.properly left it to the discretion of the Judge to give a party so applying time to plead, or to postpone a trial if he should see fit. He held in his hand an affidavit sheering the absence of three or four witnesses of great importance to the defendant's case. In criminal cues it was not to be expected that they should state why they were important, because they were not to state the nature of the evidence upon which they meant to rest their, defence. The defendant had been advised by his Counsel that.tha evidence of these witnesses was important to his case, and the affidavit :hewed that they were absent abroad, and were expected to return to this country before the next Spring Assizes. This he thought was a sufficient ground; but there was another, upon which he should appeal so strongly to his Lordship's discretion, that he thought it could not be resisted. Without referring to the great feeling which this case had excited, and the observations which had been publicly sent forth on both sides, calculated to give an improper direction to that feeling ;—setting all that out of the queition, there was another ground upon which they should appeal most forcibly to the ditere tion of the Judge. He would put it to his Lordship, whether the greatest deliberation was not necessary to the case, and whether all the expence of the proceedings should be incurred a second time for the sake of going to trial now, when they could not reach the principal in the alleged offences. Why should his Lordship be called upon to press on this trial, when the chances of an impartial administration of justice would be greatly lessened by such a course? for whatever was the result, it must have a strong effect upon any future proceedings. That the case was one of uncom mon difficulty was proved by the necessity of having the additional assistants of his Learned Friend, the Attorney General, whom they were so glad to see amongst them, beyond the great legal talent of the Northern bar. No proceedings had been had under the Statute of Philip and Mary for a century; and it was therefore evident that the case was one in which con siderable difficulty might arise. Whatever respect he might entertain towards any individsal Judge, under such circumstances he was bound to advise his client to remove the case by a writ of certiorari before a Special Jury. He should do this, not only because his client should not be liable to the prejudice which the nature 'of the case was calculated to leave on the minds of par ticular bodies of men, but also for the assistance of the Judge, who, in deciding the grave and difficult points which might arise out of the proceedings, would know that his decision was liable to an appeal to the other Judges, where it might be revised or corrected. No one bad more respect for his Lordship's decisions and authority than he; but in justice to the party fbr whom he appeared, and in order that his friends might have the satisfaction of knowing that everything had been done by them and by. his Counsel, should the proceed. ings terminate in his conviction, he was bound to advise this course. The Learned Gentleman then argued, that the certiorari could not have been maintained on behalf of William Wakefield at any earlier period, because it was not known whether he might not be subsequently implicated in the charge of felony against his brother. Where such an application as this was made upon a case requiring a Special Jury, it was always granted as a matter of course. Mr. Jubtiee pmur—..“ Is that always the pracdcer Mr. limaserr—ei Always my Lord." The Counsel a the ether side expressed dossed Mr. SaaamT.- 6 4 Nay, &Wows, I have had some aperient*, and I pledge k upon what I have stated." Mt hake Paas-14 I have had experience, too." Mr. SCARLET? proceeded to say that the practice was always so, when the case was considered proper to go before a Special Jury. He had himself made the ap plication in a hundred cases. and had never been op ed. Supposing William Wakefield the accessory to be tried now, andconvieted, the principal might never be brought to trial at all. Mr. Justice PARK mentioned the case of Stamp Sut ton Cooke, which he had tried, where a party was tried as a coprincipal and convicted, while the principal was never brought to trial. Mr. SIIABLIM—" Aye, my Lord, and far a very' good reason, because you could never procure him."-- I He then proceeded to mention a case which his Lord ship bad defended in Yorkshire, where two parties were tried for a conspiracy, who had induced the son of the plaintiff, a minor, to many. The parties indicted were the father of the lady and another, and they obtained a Special Jury, by whom they were afterwards acquitted. From this, the only analogous case he remembered, he felt that his Lordship must be disposed to grant the application. That this was a fit case for a certiorari no doubt could be entertained, if it were only to give the Judge an opportunity of having his opinion confirmed or revised by all the legal knowledge of the Bench. Upon these grounds* was that he appealed,with a force which he thought could not be resisted, to his Lord ship's discretion. He was not aware, nor had he a right to expect to be informeJ, of the particular opposition by' which this application would be. met.. But it must be I made on affidavit, and they ought to have time to con sider and reply to it. The Learned Gentleman sgain _ .fined, and substantial justice done to all patties. The following alfidavit was then read:— " The King against William Wakefield with Edward Gibbon Wakefield. " The King a. William Wakefield, indicted with Edward Gib bon Wakefield, Edward Theirenot, and Prances Wakefield. William Wakefield, of Reading, iu the county of Berks. Esq. one of the above-named defendants, and Joseph Dennison, of Man chester, in the county ar Lancaster, attorney for the abows-mmed defendant, William Wakefield. severally make oath and say :—And first this deponent , the said William Wakefield, for itlanuilf, saltb, that two several indictments have been found against him, this dela°. neat, by the Grand Jury for the County Palatine of Lancaster, at the present Assizes. holden in and for the mid county, for a mis demeanour, in one whereof he is charged under a certain stoats made in the fourth and Wit year of the reign of King Philip and Queen Mare, with assisting In the taking and conveying away one Stine Tenser, sad procuring her to be married to the above. named Edward Gibbon Wakefield, contrary to the fours of the statute; and in the other of which indictments he is' charged with conspiracy with the other defendants therein mentoned, to procure, by unlawful means, the said marriage to be effected ; to both which said indictments be, this deponent, bath pleaded that he is not guilty thereof; ad be is advised by his Counsel that he may be tried upon the first of the same at these Assizes. And this deponent farther settle, that from the time of the alleged commission of the admen with which he has been charged as aforesaid, down to diets/6W of June last. various pare. graphs have appeared ip a certain parer called The Miccieyfteil Courier, which, as this deponent hash bees informed, and believes, has an extended circulation, and lagessrally read in many parts of eseety, giving an unfair and mom statement of the facts re. 1 1111i s s w ale said alleged offence, end simsdieg. le a very high de a r er , av the mind of the public against this deponent; and in mot et this he. this deponent, craves leave to refer to a copy of a from The Meeckageld Courier of the date of the tenth of use eight hundred and twenty-six, marked with the hitter A, and hereunto annexed. And this depolant further with, that be hash been informed, by his brother, the said Edward Gibbon Wakefield, and which information he verily believes to be true, that it is his intention to apply to his Majesty's Court of King's. Bench, at Westminster, for a writ of Certiorari, to remove the said two indictments, as foundagainst him the said Edward Gibbon Wakefield, and to bring the same down to trial, at the ensuing Spring Assizes, before a Special Jury of the County of Lancaster; and this deponent, the said Joseph Dennison, for himself mitts, that he is informed by his Counsel that several questions of great nicety and difficulty, in point of law, are likely to arise upon the trial of th e said indictments, the more articularly as he is infarnied that no prosecution has taken place under the said Statute of Philip and MIXT for a very long period of years, and that there are few, if any judicial decisions upon the said Statute; and the said deponolts se verally say, that. for the reasons above stated, it is extremely desira ble, and they are very anxious, that tke trial of this deponent, the sad William Wakefield, may be postponed to the ensuing Spring Assizes, in order that there may be =appeal to the Court of King's Bench upon any question of law which may arise; and that there may be time for the ferment at present existing in the pullic mind to be allayed, and that the investigation may take place before a Jury whose superior rank and station in life may protect them from any popular prejudices. And these deponents severally say, that since their arrival at Lancaster, during these Assizes, they have he the first time learnt, and been informed, and which information they verily believe to be true, that Richard Badneil, of Asketihurst Hall, in the county of Stafford. Esq. can give material evidence for this deponent, the said William Wakefield. upon the trial ache said indictment, but that he the said Richard Badnell is now absent in France, from which place be is expected to return in the course of a few weeks. And these deponents severally further say, that, from the circumstance above mentioned, it was impossible to serve the said Richard Badnell with a subpiena to appear at the present Assizes, but that they verily believe they shall he able to pro cure hie attendance at the Assizes to be holden in the ensuing spring. And this deponent, the said William Wakefield, for him• self, saith, that he is informed, and believes, that on or about thi second day of August instant, espies of subpoena were sent to Mrs. Hurt Sitwell, Miss Harriet Hoare, and Dominick Daly, Esquire, who were at that time in France. requiring their attend ance at the present Assizes, on behalf of this deponent ; and this &poems had reason to believe, from the answers sent to him by the, ilessammtiened persons, and did fully believe and expect that they wadi have attended In pursuance of the said subpoenas, but that n*br,thesaid Mrs. Hurt Sitwell, nor H. Hoare. have yet arrived. j And this deponent further veldt, that he verily believes and expects Nut the said Mrs. Hurt Sitwell and Harriet Hoare will be in Bei. had, where the said Mrs. Hurt Sitwell usually resides, in the mess let the ensuing winter • and that he, this deponent, will b e a bl e ' to Foam their attendan ce at the next Assizes. And this deponent tanker faith, that a letter has been received from the said Dominick May, in which he states, that from a paragraph which he has read le The Sun Newspaper. he understands that the trbl of this dep.. neat would not take place at the-present Assizes; that in MSS• queue* thereof, he should not attend; but this deponent verily be. litres and expects that he will return to England in the course a a few weeks, when be shall be enabled to enforce his attendanc e at t h e Sat Assizes. And this deponent says, that he has used all the diligence in his power to procure the attendance of the raid Mrs. Hurt Sitwell, Harriet Hoare, and Dominick Daly ; and both these deponents severally say, that they have been advised by their Coun sel. and they do believe that the said last-mentioned persons, and also the said Richard Badnell, are material and necessary witnesses for the said William Wakefield, and that without their evidence, he cannot safely proceed to the trial of the said indictments, or either of them. 14 WILLIAM WAKEFIELD. "JOSEPH DENNISON." The Arroanzz-GzNenat. said, it appeared to him that neither in the statement which his Learned Friend bad male, nor in the affidavit which bad been read in Court, had any grounds been :hewn which required the postponement of this trial. If his Lordship would permit him, he would recall to his attention the sitnatioa in which the defendant now stood. In April last an application was made to the Court of King s Beach to admit, the defendant to bail. He appeared personally in Court, and while the whale charge was investigated in his presence. It appeared from statements on oath that be and his brother, by imposition and fraud, had obtained posseision of the person of this young Lady, and that by a succession of falsehoods, to which he could apply no epithet, persuaded her to accompany them to Scotland, and there persuaded her vs marry him and is) to France, where she was recovered by her father's relations and ftiendi from those who had so gained possession of her person. All this passed in the presence of the defendant. It was doubted whether or not the offence amounted to a felony under the statute of Henry the VII. and if that had been decided, the parties would not have been admitted to bail.— After the question had been discussed in the Court, it ' was decided that under all the circumstances the de fendant should be discharged upon giving bail; but at his (the Attorney General) suggestion, he was made to enter a particular form of recognizance, by which he was bound not only to answer any charge under the statute of Philip and Mary, but any other indictment founded upon these facts, Ile mentioned this to she% that the defendant had ample opportunity to prepare to meet the case as it now stood. There was one at gement et: hi,l,earr.ed Friend towhich lie would advert. It was said that the late alteration of the law prevented , -,',.„-- -- r.:- -••, , ,V0, t . • /We • 1 10• 1 10 iA‘ j / IF • • ~ J .

The An Oltliln GebtOM* in continuation, said that the opportunities for snaking this application in the Court of King's Bench, as well as in the County Pala tine, having been neglected, it was too late now to come forward and apply for the postponement of the trial upon such grounds. But his Learned Fr iend a!so sought it upon the extreme difficulty of the question. Now she language of the Act appeared to him so plain, simple , and intelfigible,that he could see n o suc h di ffi culty in the way of its interpretation. With respect to any pecul , ar points of law which might arise, his Learned Friend was mistaken in supposing that such grave matters might not be reserved fur further discussion. Then, a ptorni neat feature in the affidavit was, that a paragraph which appeared in the Macckffield Courier, a paper published at a distance of , 70 or 80 miles, and having a par tial ciliation, had produced an unfavourable prejudice against the defendant. This article appeared as an answer to one published in another paper, and the affiJa7it did not deny a knowledge of the origin of the first. The defendant coin. plained of the public press. But what would be thought of such complaints when it was known that the public press had been used by these parties in the publica. 'don of an account which conveyed the basest in. sinuations against the character of Miss Turner, and that when the public feeling began to be espressed upon that account, they afterwards disavowed it ? What would be thought of their .complaint against the press, when they were found tb have been making this infamous use of it? They should prove by a sworn l affidavit, that Edward Gibbon Wakefield, in conjiii.ction with a relation of his, then in Court, haft sent a copy of this account to Mr. Turner, before it !IND so published. Another ground of the application we at Mr. Daly had seen a paragraph in a newspaper, stating that the trial would not come on. Why had not Mr. Wakefield sworn that he was not the author of these paragraphs, the objects of which were well known to all P With respect to the other witnesses said to be absent, the manner in which the affidavit was sworn was not of such a nature as to warrant the postponement of the tri4l. This part of the affidavit was only sworn to by Wake. field, and not by that respectable Solicitor Mr.Dennisod, 'who ought to have been the beat informed as to the means which bad been taken to procure the attendance of witnesses. The Learned Gentleman concluded by observing, that lie had answered not only the statement of Mr. Scarlett, but also the contents of the affidav;t and that unless his Lordship considered it a matter of right, the application should not be granted, and that the publie justice in this respect should no longer be delayed. The following affidavit was then Mil •-• " The King against William Wakefield, indicted with Edward • Gibbon Wakefield. " Thomas Grlroaditeb, of Macclesfield, in the county of Chester l , Gentleinan, maketh oath and saitb, that the above-named defen dants, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Wilillam Wakefield, or their friends, bare, as this deponent bath been informed and verily be. theca, caused many paragraphs to be inserted in different news. paper* in Londoe, giving unfair and untrue statements regarding the-anbject matter of these prosecutions, and particularly a state. ment which appeared in a newspaper published in London, cared the Aim 8011, on or about the 28th of May, 1826, which this depo nent bath Seen, and which said last-mentioned staterneet this depo nent afterwards saw and read in most of the London and many of the Country Newspapers, published in different parts of the king dom. And this deponent further saith, that he bath been informed, and believes that the said Edw. Gibbon Wakefield did cauie the said last mentioned statement to be printed and published as a pamphlet, and 'Suasively circulated,under the title of 'A Statement of Factsre garding the Marriage of Ed. G. Wakefield, Esq. with Miss Turner.' For this deponent saith that be bath in his possession a printed copy of the -s a id statement, purporting to be printed by W.

And this deponent saith, that on or about the 29th day of July hut, he called upon the said W. Molineaux, and demanded the name of the author and of his employer, when he, the said W. Molineaux, int ro d uce d a person of the nam e of James'l3arrod, a clerk to Daniel Wakefield, Esq. Barrister at Law, the uncle of the said Edward O. Wakefield, and Wm. Wakefield, who admitted to this deponent that he bad employed the said W. Molineaux to print the same by orders or di. rectsons of the said Edward G. Wakefield- And this depetient further saith, that on the following day the said W. Altair:eau, the printer, produced and showed to this deponent a letter in the hand writing of the said E. G. Wakefield, with which hand-writing this deponent Is acquainted from having seen - him write, and addressed to hint iu the following words and figures (this de ponent having taken a true copy of the same)--that is to say, " London ! )lay 6, 1826—Sir, hereby undertake to give you a bond of indemnity, twin any otlur way that you tn4y plea* * to protect you from any consequ.inces that may Rink from your printing a paper, entitled ' A Statement of Facts regarding the Marriage of Edward G.

Wakefield, and also a letter in his band-writing, both inclosed in an envelope, and addressed in the same •band-visiting, in the following words immediate 1 . Wil liam Turner, Esq.

And this deponent further s.thh, tit it he saw anti road in a Newspaper, c tiled the Maccleefteld Herald, published the week, or week but one before the 10th of June last, an account of ckturnstanees connected with the said Edward U.

And this deponent saitb, tint the paragraph teferred to is the affidavit of the said W.
