LW JWD ELL IGENCE. , . • . • COURT •OP. KING'S BENCH, FEBRUARY 7. RUN V. MARY ANN CLARKE. . • MIS day having been appointed for praying. the judgment of the Court on the defendant in this case, the public cut io.;ity was excited in an uncommon de gre. Long before the hour for the usual arrival of the *Judges, Westminster Hall was crowded with per sons who were anxious to be witnesses tb the conduct of a lady who had so. frequently excited feelings of interest in all classes of society'; or, if they could not gain this point, to get a glimpse of lier as she passed to and from the seat of Justice. The Court itself was thrrngcd to excess. At eleven o'clock the whole of the Judges 'assem bled, and immediately afterwards the noise of the crowd without announced the arrival of the defen dam, who, with very considerable difficulty, forced her way through the obstruction which the efforts of coriosity threw in her way. She entered the Court, attended by her attorney (Mr. Harrison) and Lord Eflenborough's tipsoff, and setr.ed much amused with the scene which had been presented to her. She; was dressed in a scarlet velvet spencer, a white mus lin gown, a white straw chip hat and laced veil, and appeared as lovely and blooming as if she had just commenced her career of captivation. The con fusion which her entrance had occasioned having subsided, • The ATTORN EY-G FS.NRRA L prayed the judgment of the Court upon this defendan:, who had suffered it to pass awainst her by default, upon an indictment for . publi,hing a libel upon the Right Hon. William. Fit zgerald, Chancellor - 6f the Irish Exchequer, in a pam-1 phlet, entitled a Letter to that Gentleman. The libel .was read by Mr. Dealtry, Deputy Clerk of the Crown-office. It accused the prosecutor of seducing his friend's wife, procuring the husband to be sent to an" unhealthy climate, .and during his ab.; sence of debauching his wife; that when the unhappy female was pregnant, he induced her to take drugs for the purpose of procuring an abortion, &c. &c. The defendant then put in the following Affidavit, which was read : Mary Ann Clarke maketh oath, that she feels great concern at having been betrayed into a violation of the law; that she hath been intimately acquainted with the prosecutor and• his father for many years; that his father introduced the prosecutor to her,- pre - violas to his going to College, as from the situation in which this deponent then lived, she might do him much service in his progress through life. " That deponent did render him many and essen tial services, and a great degree of intimacy subsisted between her And the prosecutor's said father; to whom she also rendered many services, and with whom she was in the habit of corresponding for a great length of time, and that she by this means became possessed of a great number of his letters, and which letters wet afterwards, on occasion of a certain Investigation, submitted to a Select Committee of the House of Commons ; that the contents of some of these letters transpired ; and, as defendant was informed by the prosecutor, it was suggested to him by a Member of his Majesty's Government, that if those letters were exposed to the public, they would be highly detri mental to the prospects of the prosecutor and his fa ther, and the former would be no longer able to re present the Borough of Ennis, which had cost him a large sum of money ; that the prosecutor became alarmed as to these letters, and immediately after they were ordered to be restored to this deponent, the prosecutor came to her in the greatest distress and agony of mind, to request the destruCtion of those letters, and the greater part of which he obtained possession of; and under promises.of reward and fa vour, this deponent permitted them to-be destroyed in his presence, after he had made himself acquainted with the contents. That' deponent having great con fidence in the prosecutor's said father, entrusted him with the keeping of many letters and papers of great! public importance; and, amongst others, she entrusted I him with a letter from a perion in high authority, conveying his assurance of providing for deponent's only son. That, soon after the prosecutor had gained his point, by procuring the destruction of the said letters, he totally withdrew himself from her as a' friend and visitor, where he had been previously . constant and almost a daily one, and estranged him self. from all friendship towards her ; 'and instead of the reward she had been promised, he, and his father, refused to return herpapers which had been deposited in trust, and the prosecutor's father assured her he bad destroyed them, and had burnt the said letter containing the promise of provision. " And this deponent further saith, that the letters which'she now hash in her possession, in the hand; writing of the said prosecutor and his father, clearly. prove the truth of the above matters, respecting their correspondence with, and obligations to this deponen4 both before and since the proceedings inilBo9, during . a period of about 14- years. That deponent repeat- . ediy remonstrated with him on these matters, but finding those remonstrances unattended toi and being vexed and disappointed in her expectations, and treat - .ed with contempt, ingratitude, and indiferekce, she, uncit r that influence, wrote and published the -letter which is the subject of this prosecution, and which has been very little circulated. " That this deponent at first pleaded not guilty to the indictment, but being advised she could not de fend herself under that, plea, withdrew it, and suf fered judgment to go by default, and thereby wholly submit herself to the consideration of this honourable Court. That this deponent hath two daughters, one of them approacling the age of womanhood. That she bath hitherto, under many adverse cirumstances and misfortunes, given them an education, and brought theni up in 'honour and virtue. And that should thii lion. Court, in its wisdom, deprive her said daughters c.t her protection, they will be left to tally destitute ; and she humbly hopes, that these circumstances, and the state of her health, and that in the present case, she has been actuated by no views of a political nature, but softly by the treatment re ceived from the prosecutor in his private capacity, will be taken into the consideration or this lion. Court." Mr. ATTORNEY GENERAL, Mr. PARKS, and Mr. SCA RLETT . then addressed the Colin, in support of the prniecution. The ATTORNEY GENt:RAI, characterised the libel as the most flagrant that had ever appeared in a Court of Justice, as it- accused the prosecutor of nothing less than felony. Thole was no doubt that it v. as as directly mea;,t for an eagine for the purpose of extt:rting money, as if she bad commanded a sum to be put wider a stone, under threat of the like re- venge. Revenge, indeed, was stated to be the molt tive of the pamphlet; and the public is always the bar to which these libellers drag their victims. "As yet. (said Mrs. Clarke) I have :hewn up no one who did not richly deserve to be exposed to the pa& ; this is the only revenge I am desirous of taking on those by whom I am ill-treated ; and hiving brought them before that trilunal, I rest perfectly satisfied that impartial justice will be administered." " This hin• (she proceeds) I have just thrown out by the way, as a caution to those who either do not know, or require to be reminded, that it is not my disposition to sit down quietly under the studied injury of ingratitude, and the neglect of promises given to dupe or cajole me, by men who never meant to perform them, or who think that they may at any time be broken with impunity.. For the benefit, therefore, of all whom it may concern, I here, announce my intention of sub mitting to the public, in a very short time, two or • three volumes, which may be followed by others, as op portunity shall suit, or circumstances requires"— So that the whole world were at the mercy of Mrs. Clarke's opportunities and circumstances. The At torney General hoped the sentence of the Court would, at least, teach her to hold her hand, and to refrain from the publication of future4ibels. Mr. BROUCTIANI then addressed the Court in miti gation of the defendant's punishment. She stood on the flor to receive the judgment of the Court for having published a libel against a private individual; and although her Counsel was . not permitted to jus tify her criminality, which she had confessed by suf fering judgment to pass against her by default, and had no intention to deny her contrition for that cri minality, which she had avowed by her affidavit that had just been read, still he was entitled to urge all •circumstances which, in any other case of libel by one private individual against another, the Court would feel it their duty to take into their consideration, in apportioning the punishment to the offence. This was not the case, then, of a wanton and unprovoked attack, upon the private character of an individual, for the sake of ministering to the public appetite for domestic slander. This publication arose out of a long connection between the parties, commencing with an acquaintance with the prosecutor's father ;;--- an intercourse, the Learned Counsel was not entitled to say, consisting in reciprocal obligations, for the fa vours seemed to be all on one side ; the family of the prosecutor bed founded their hopes of preferment in another connexion of the defendant's, of a still more delicate nature. It was a connection of 14 years' standing, of their seeking, not her's, and, as far as regarded the prosecutor, founded upon his father early introducing him to her patronage and protec tion, as likely to assist him in his progress through public life. All these things she distinctly swears. Her oath bad formerly been believed in this Court, when. in competition with the swearing of others.— It would now be believed not the less, that she was uncontradicted by any affidavit of the prosecutor, to whom the Court would undoubtedly havo given time for the purpose, had he been disposed or able to deny the statement. The letters under the hand of pro secutor, and his father, further substantiated these things ; and they, too, were mentioned in the affida vits. Out of such an intercourse, sought by them for their own purpose, and cemented by various acts of kindness on her part—kindness always freely acknow ledged in theirletters—the quarrel arose which led to this offence. On getting possession of the letters, both of those the publication of which would prove ruinous to him; and of others in trust ; the former she, at his earnest, nay, impassioned intreaty, and . to relieve the agony of his mind, allowed to be de stroyed; the latter, affecting others, he obtained, and privately destroyed without her permission.— Among them was one containing promises of provi sion for her son. The Learned Counsel had not urged in extenuation =of her yielding to such feelings of provocation, and under great irritation doing an act of violence, or it might be said spitefulness ; in palliation of this act of womanly animosity he had not urged, that the person who had committed it was a woman, lest it might be said, that when the sex no longer imposed a restraint, it should cease to afford a protection—but he would say (And the re mark was not liable so any such objection) that she was a mother, and entreat their Lordships to reflect on the effects of her punishment on those whom she had, notwithstanding her own errors, brought up in honour and virtue, by giving them that education and those habits of which, if she did not already, she possibly might live to fed the want. When the Court took these things into the account—the long standing and origin of the connection—the steps by which it led to the offence—that the libel originated not in any desire of gratifying the public malignity at a stranger's expence, or any wanton gratuitous desire of mischief towards one who had not put him self in the way of it—still less in base views of a mer. cenary kind, it was hoped that their Lordships would ' mingle the portion of justice which those considera tions might affix, with a merciful regard to the inte rests of the guiltless. • , REX V. WM. MITCHELL. Before the Court pronounced judgment upon, the defendant, M•zry Anne Clarke, the ATTORNEYGE NERAL thought it hir duty to intimate that he bad also to pray judgment against William Mitchell, who , bad suffered it by_default, • under an indictment for , printing the fore-mentioned libel. At the same time the Attorney-General believed bim to be the ignorant agent of other persons whose names he refused to give np, and he had nothing to urge against him beyond the mere fact of his being the printer of this ; atrocious libel. An affidavit was put in by the defendant, in which he expressed his contrition for the offence, but positively wore that at the time he was e quested by his master (for he was only a journey man printer) to put his name to the title-page as printer, he had not the slightest knowledge of the na ture of the publication, and placed implicit confidence in his employer's preserving him from any personal danger. He had not received a single farthing for all the anxiety he had suffered, and had no means of subsistence for himself and family, save what his own labour afforded, added to which, he was upwards of 60 years of age. Mr. Justice LE BLANC then proceeded to pass the judgment of the Court upon Mary Anne Clarke and William Mitchell. Atter noticing the nature of the offence, be remarked, thatrt Grand Jury +>f their countrymen had found the defendants guilty ; that judgment had beer. allowed to go by default; and 1r that their crime was, even by their own consent, fully established. It was unnecessary to repeat, the libel, which it was true *as upon an individual, but as the indictment set forth, holding a situation of high trust and confidence.: it imputed to him crimes which would disgrace a man in the most hutnble station, but would render the prosecutor wholly unworthy of the office he - now holds. It was impossible not to consider it a libel of very serious magnitude. Con sidering the vast variety of publications of this kind that every term came before the Court, it was not easy to say which was the most infamous. It was on the present sufficient to remark, that in every view it was gross and scandalous, imputing crimes of the greatest enormity ; of seducing the wife of-his friend; of sending that friend to an unhealthy cli mate, and of administering to the wife poisonous drugs to procure abortion. The affidavit of Mary Anne Clarke alluded to certain provocations she had received from disappointment of promises and in gratitude. Supposing the fact to be that promises of provision for herself and her family had been made, it could amount to nothing like a justification, or even to an excuse, for defaming the individual, .by attributing to him a capital crime; and when the offender was called up to judgment, she expressed no sincere contrition for having violated the law.-- The affidavit put in only noticed the connection of, the parties ; and whether received with or without the comment of the Counsel for the defendant, no . difference was produced in its effect. Every private libel tended to a breach of the public peace; but the details given in that now before the Court more par ticularly rendered it necessary that the defendant should be restrained, since she held out a threat that she possessed materials for three or four further libel lous volumes, and it called in one part upon the People of England not to allow such a monster to hold any office whatever under the Crown. In passing sentence, and awarding the punishment, it was the duty of the Court not only to regard the immediate effect upon the future conduct of the offen ders, but upon the people at large, who might be in fluenced by bad example or deterred by necessary infliction. • The Learned Judge hoped, that the con finement and exclusion from society, that would be the result of the sentence, would enable the Defen dant, M.A.Clatke, to re flect upon her past life, upon the threats she had held out, and to amend the one and to retract the other. With regard to William Mitchell, it would afford a useful lesson to him and others how they allowed themselves to be imposed upon by the designing, for the purpose of defeating the law with impunity. The Court had again and again been entreated in cases of this nature to take into i s families of prisoners, and the conse quen of the punishment of the parents. Such however, ought not to divert the Co ar duty, although it might be lameute thus sometimes necessary to visit the si tiers upon the children. In some instances, covey& the children might be bene fited by being deprived of the instructions and ex- ample of the parent :—how fa that was likely to be, the case here, it wet not neiry for the Court to determine. Takineall the é mstances into con sideration, the sentence-of the Court was, that Mary Anne Clarke should be committed to the custody of the Marshal of the Marshalsea, fur Nine Calendar Months ; and at the expiration of that time, that she find security for her good behaviour in two sureties of 8200 each. The sentence upon William Mitchell was, that he should be committed to the same cus tody for Tour Calendar Months. Mrs. Clarke curtseyed to the Court on retiring, and was conducted through Westminster Hall to a coach amidst a vast crowd of spectators. On Thursday last, in the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, Mr. Joni; MAGEE was tried and found guilty of a libel, in publishing in 7he idublin Evening Port, certain Resolutions of the Roman Catholics of the county and city of Kilkenny, of the 4th of August last. Muanza AT VAUXHALL.—Soon after the barbarous murder of Moses Merry, the servant to the Misses Gompertz, at Vauxhall, some months since, two men, Higlas Parish and Charles Callaghan, were taken into custody. Since their confinement the friends of Higlas Parish, as the only chance of saving his life if he was concerned in the murder, advised him to make a confession, which he has complied with, and has con fessed that he and Charles Callaghan went to the house of the Misses Gompertz, at Vauxhall, for the purpose of robbing it. They broke the house open, the particulars of which are before the public.; they* were resisted in their progress by the deceased Moies Merry, who was shot by his companion Charles Cal laghan with a pistol ;he also confessed that dis charged a pistol, but not at the deceased ; he dis charged it into the cieling of the room, with an inten tion merely of frightening the deceased, and not with a view to shoot him. In cor•sequence of this confes sion, a number of witnesses have been procuied to corroborate the confession of Parish, forming a corn- plete chain of evidence, and yesterday they attended at Horsemonger-lane prison, and were sworn to their depositions before Mr. NARES, the Magistrate, ac companied by Mr. SraFFortn, the Chief Clerk, in the presence of Callaghan and Palish, when it appeared that the prisoners had purchased a pair of pistols together. In consequence of this mass of evidence, Callaghan will be tried for the murder of Moses Merry. Manday se'nnight Nathaniel Blair, alias Sacuerr, was convicted before the High Court of Justiciary, at Edinburgh, of uttering forged notes of various Banks in Scotland, and ordered for execution on the 9th of March next. A woman confined in Bridewell, Glasgow, having moved one of the iron bars in the window of her apartments, in the fifth storey, leapt from the window on the morning of Saturday se'nnight, and was killed on the spot. Thursday se'nnight, Mr. Brown, farmer in Drum,, was attacked on his way home from Falkirk fair, by five or six fellbws, who robbed him of his pocket book, containing se3G in notes, besides some bills and papers, and his watch. • Wednesday se'nnight, William M'Wait, journey. man mason in Inverness, having gone to the chimney top of a house, three stories high, for the purpose of cleaning the vents, the coping stones on which he w.as standing gave way, and he was precipitated from this immense heisht, and killed instaatancously. --a - T7nt PRICES OF GRAIN, AT IV Elie] Wheat, Kent and Essex, 58a. 82a. per quarter Ditto, Suffolk, 694.83 a.
