LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 5. HABEAS CORPUS POE 141 t. HUNT. Mr. CHTTTS moved for a writ of Habeas Corpus, to be directed to the Keeper of his Majesty's Jail at llchester, commanding him to bring up the body of Henry Hunt, Esq. (now in his custody, in execution of the sentence of this Court), in order that he might be personally present to shew cause against the Rule now depending against Mr. Alderman Waithman, Mr. Sheriff Parkins, Mr. Hunt, and others, for an alleged interruption of the election of Lord Mayor in November last. Mr. Justice BAYLE`t (the only Judge in Cdurt).— You had better make this motion when the Court is full. Have you Ray instances in which a similar ap plication has been made in the case of a defendant in execution of his sentence? Mr. CIIITTY.—There are instances in which a pri soner in custody has been brought-up by Habeas Corpus to give evidence in a cause. Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—That is a very different thing ; but have you any instance of a prisoner being brought up in a case in which he may shew cause by affidavit? Mr. Currrv.—Your Lordship _will observe that the rule in this case calls upon Mr. Hunt to skew• cause why a criminal information shouldsbot be filed against him, and I apprehend it is matter of right that a defendant in a criminal case may be personally present to shew tause if . he chooses. Mr. Justice BAYLEY (after referring to his notes and the Officers on the Crown side). —You will find an application was once made, that a defendant in custody might attend the execution of a writ of in quiry, be being of opinion that he ought to attend, but the Court would not grant the application. Mr. CtliTTY.—ln that case the defendant was not called upon to appear by any Rule, but bete Mr. Hunt is called upon to appear in a criminal case ; and be side, that was a civil proceeding. Mr. Justice BavLEY.—The mode of spewing cause' is by affi-lavit, and he is to chew cause in that way. If you think you can sustain the motion, you haJ better mention it when the Coiirt is full. When the full Court came in, their Lordships pro ceeded on the new trial paper, upon which they were occupied until three o'clock. At that hour The SOLICITOR-GgNERAL was called upon, and stated that he was in attendance to pray that the Rule might be made absolute in the case of the King v. Parkins and others, hut as the day was now far ad vanced, probably their Lordships would not be dis posed to enter into the business; he was, however, anliuus, for the convenience of all parties, that some day should be fixed on which the case should come on peremot although it stood in the peremptory paper. In the ordinary ccturse Of business it wfai:d probably come on in the course of Monday or Tues day; but he begged to st.ate, th.tt on those days.he should be engaged in a very in:portant:case *in the Common Pleas, which had been specially fixed for argument by the Chief Justice of that Corot on Mon day. If it suited the pleasure if the Court, Thursday. was likely to be a convenient day for all parties. The QuEEN's Somerron-Gr.sEnAt said, that he was fully prepared on behalf of the defendants, for whom he was retained, to skew cause against the Rule; but as he understood that Mr. Hunt, another defendant, proposed to file affidavits on his own be half, it was of importance to the interests of his cli ents that they should have an opportunity of seeing the contents of those affidavits before the case came on. He unkl.,rstood that some application was in tended on the part of Mr. Hunt to bring him up by Habeas Corpus, and this circumstance would proba bly occasion some delay. Mr. CHITTY immediately rose, and said that he was instructed to move for a Habeas Corpus on be half of Mr. Hunt, and if it was the pleasure of the Court he would state the grounds on which he sub mitted that personal attendance was necessary. Mr. Justice BAYLEY,—iIk ressonal attendance is not necessary in order to the production of affidavits. i. Cutrry s*id, it was his duty at all events to submit the motion ; and he had no other anxiety upon the subject than that of discharging his duty towards his client. At present he was supplies with' no other affidavits than those necessary to support this motion. The affidavits alluded to by his Learned Friend (Mr. Denman) were not yet in town, and it was not known tothe Gentleman whir had instructed him, whet they would arrive. The CHlRlPJusricE.—Has there been any instance in which the Court has gr:inted a Habeas Cor;us under similar circumstances Mr. CHITTY said, he should submit on general principles that the defendant was entitled, as matter cf right in a criminal case, to be present. The CHIEF JUSTICE.— Is there any instance of the kind on record? Mr. CHErTy said, he was not aware of any case in '‘ , .hich the Court had granted a Habeas Corpns un dtr the like circumstances. He would admit, that in Oc case of Mr. Richard Gaythorne Butt, an applica tion of the same kind had been refused by another Court. The Souctrott-GaNzRAx..--That person was in the custody of the Marshal. Mr. CUITTY.—I mention that as an instance against me, but I hope to distinguish it from the present case. The Sottorrott-GENEam..—That was an applica tion made for a Habeas Corpus in the Common Pleas on behalf of Mr. Butt, and the Court refused it. Mr. Cu ITTY.—I cite it against myself. .The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—We will call upon you when it comes to your turn. At the close of the day, Mr. CHITTY renewed his motion, which, he stated, was founded upon, an affi davit of Mr. Hunt, to the effect that he had attended the. Court from day to day, in every Term since the Rule Nisi for a criminal information against himself and other defendants had been granted, for the pur pose of shewing cause against it; that he never in tended to retain or employ Counsel on his behalf, and that he had not, in fact, retained or employed Counsel for that purpose; and that he was desirous of having an opportunity of shewing cause in person. On this affidavit, the Learned Counsel submitted, that he was entitled to the prayer of his application. It was to be observed, that the prosecutors in this case had not thought fit to proceed in the ordinary way of indictment, but had selected a anode of pro needing which called upon the paixies.themseitee to shew cause why a criminal infbrtnatiOrt should. not be filed against them: Ttne it "fas t that the defen dant might file affidavits, and probably the contents of such affidavits would be the true limits of what the party might be permitted to urge in bitclefenee ; but the effect of those affidavit% might materially de pend upon the minute knowledge of all the facts and bearings of the case, which the defendant alone might possess. The personal attendance of the party, in some cases, was essentially necessary, for the purpose of suggesting arguments and observations in defence, which could only come within 'his own knowledge. Justice towards a piriyexposed to all the perils of criminal prosecution, imperiously urged the propriety of allowing his personal attendance, during a discus sion of such importance. For his (Mr. Chitty's) own part,' he should be extremely sorry to be called upon to enter into the examination of such voluMinous affidavits as must be filed in this case, because they would embrace matters of infinite importanceuo the interests of the parties, and more particularly to those of Mr. Hunt, who was peculiarly anxious to conduct his own case, in shewing cause against the Rule. He was anxious to urge those observations which occur red to him to be necessary to his own justification, and which would, no doubt, come with more effect from him than from any Gentleman of the Bar, par ticularly when urged with that sort of ability and acuteness possessed by him, so much beyond the or dinary class of mankind. He (Mr. Chitty) would submit, that though he bad found no precedents, and be bad sought for them with industry, in which a similar application had been granted, yet as none were to b. found in which it has been reused, he trusted the Court would not in this instance refuse it. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Yon find no instances, in which such an application has been made. Mr. CHITTY resumed, and, admitting the of the Learned Judge to be true, yet he sub mitted, that upon every principle of justice the de fendant was entitled to the writ now prayed. In all cases of misdemeanour a defendant had a right to be present. A defendant might not choose to em ploy Counsel; he might not have the...means of doing so ; and was he, in Ins absence, to be subjected to the perils of a criminal information, without an oppor tunity of skewing cause against it? If, indeed, the Court itself could with propriety, in the administra tion of its justice, becnnie the advocate of the defen dant, moiA. undoubtedly Mr. Hunt would be satisfied with the advantages which he must experience at the hands of their Lordships; but, as that was not to be expected, he was anxious to present his own case to tti:ir consideration, by meats if a personal attend ance. The reasonablentss of his request was obvious. Ile did not - seek a pleasurable excursion to London ; he must still remain in the custody cf the jailor. All he sought was the opportunity of advocating his own case, with such ability and means as his own re sources could furnish. The Learned Counsel, after many ingenious observations, and after urging the distinction to be taken between this and the case of a civil action, concluded' by expressing a hope that the application would be received with favour and indulgent consideration. • The Cuts JUSTICE—The Court cannot snppose there is no Gentleman at the Bar to be found capa ble of shewing cause for thii individual as well as for others; and certainly, with. a view to expense, it would Ise less expensive to shew cause by Counsel, than to bring the defendant up for the purpose of skewing cause in person ; and as there is no instance in which a person in execution of a sentence has been hroughubeare the Court, in order to do that in his person which he might do by a Gentleman at the Bar, I don't teel that we ought to establish a precedent by granting the writ which is prayed for. The affidavits may be filed ; but whether, after seeing those affida vits, we shall make the Rule absolute against the party, in his absence, is another matter. That is a very different consideration. The affidavits may be filed, and taken into consideration in another way.— I am unwilling to establish a precedent. Mr. Justice Rattly% had left the Court. Mr. Justice Hoiaostp—The writ, in such a case as thi has in no instance been granted.—Writ refused. MIDDLESEX ELECTION DINNER.—An extremely numerous and reseectable company of Gentlemen, FriehJs to the Independence of Middlesei, dined to gether on Saturday, at the Fieemasons Tavern, to celebrate the return of Mr. BIRO and Mr. WHlT vim), as Representativei of the 'County. The Hon. H. Gm BaNsurr was in the Chair; on his right sat Mr. BYNG, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, Mr. ELLICE, Mr. .HOBHOUSE, Load JOHN RUSSELL, Sir ROBERT SON, and Sir RONALD FERdtISSON ; on his left, Mr. WHITBREAD, the Marquis cf TAVISTOCK, Mr. LAMB -TON, Mr. F. PALMER, Mr. Serjeant lAN:4MT. WTVILL, and Mr. W. SMITH. After dinner the CHAIRMAN gave—" The KING, and may he !liver forget the. principles on which his family was elected to the Drone." It was drank with three times three. GOD save Me king was then sung. The next toast—" The QUEEN, andthe rest of the Royal Family." was re ceived with great enthusiasm, and diank with three times three. Glee—Hail, Star of Brunswick. The CHAIRMAN then rose, and in a neat speech, proposed The healths of their worthy Representa tives, George Byng, Esq. and Samuel C. Whitbread, Esq." which was drank with expressions of the greatest enthusiasm. Mr. BYNG expressed the high sense which he en tertained of the distinguished manner in which they had been pleased to drink his health. It had ever been his utmost ambition, as a public man, to merit ' the approbation of his fellow-citizens ; and he had 110 doubt, that so long as he should continue to de serve it, he should still receive their support and ap probation ; and he wished no longer to be returned by them to Parliament than - while there was an iden tity of interest between himself and his constituents. Mr. S. WHITBREAD, in returning thanks, said, he trusted that, so far as he had yet had an opportunity of displaying it, they had found no difference between his professions as a Candidate and his conduct as a Representative. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT and Mr. 11011 HOUSE re turned th e anks on their healths being drank. The Marquis of TAVIsTOCK, on his health being drank, declared his conviction of the necessity of a Parliamentary Reform.. Several songs and patriotic toasts were afterwards i given ; and the company broke up at a late hdur. PIWYM fIATURDAY Is7GII7"S G.AZETTE. [This.

Exam:mow or SA/mt.—Extract of a Letter from ati eyeAtit ness, addressed to the Editor of the Brustor s prac!e : " The general interest which has been exalted by the unfor tunate young man, of whom I am going to give you an accocc induces me to send you the following details : - Samit, the assa— sin of Kotzebue, was executed this morning at five o'cl•ick. So early as half-past three o'clock the Infantry and Csvary, and almost the whole population of Mattheim, were in motion. Sandt was brought horn the prison in an ppen carriage. His countenance, which was pale, had in It something extraordinary. A smile was on his lips ; and he went to meet death, as we should go'to afete. He bowed with much grace to some Ladies who were at a window, and who returned his salutation with very evident marks of interest. When he reached the place of execution, which was on a very large plain, he mounted the Scaffold immediately : his sentence was read to him ; after which he made a speech. Not understanding German, I cannot com municate to you what he said. I observed, however, that he spoke with •ecergy, and at the end raised one of his hands to wards Hearts. The executioner took hold of him and made him sit down on a chair, fastened to a small post. He tied both his hands, cut off some of his hair, and put a bandage over his eyes. In two minutes after he was no more. AU tbe'prepara tions for the execution were made very slowly ; twenty minutes were employed, and ten would have been sufficient, as the read ing of the sentence and his speech did not take five minutes. Though I at first intended only to see him pass, I wis carried forward involuntarily, constantly looking at him. Ile was dressed in white, but wearing a black great coat, and his di-t collar turned do wn ; his hair tell in curls on his shoulders. Fur fifteen months past his life had been preserved by the most strengthening regimen. Every effort was used to prevent his sinking under the effects of the wounds which he had inflicted on himself : he was, in fact, ad very weak, that he could not mount the scaffold Without supporting himself on the 'boulder; of two persons, which makes the durige, that be shewed to his death, the more extraordinary. lid was beheaded with a sabre; and the executioner, being obliged to :Hake second stroke, a general cry arose." MARRIED. • The Rev. George Way, to. Susanna Mary, youngest daughter al Enos Smith, Esq. • • t The Rev. Mr: Owen s of: Mountsorrell, Letcestershire, to Selina, second daughter of Mrs. Bosworth, of Highgate House, Northamptonshire. DIED.
