MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1831. N. 13,873. DEACLE'S PETITION. The humble petition of Thomas and Caroline Deacle, of Marwell Farm, in the parish of Owsel bury, in the county of Hants, 1. is SnowcTss--That your petitioners have read with inexpressible indignation, in the public newspapers, mime• roue allegations made against them which are wholly false, I scandalous, and malicious, calculated to blast their charac ters, to injure their pursuits in life, and utterly to destroy their peace of mind. 2. " That amongst these false and scandalous allegations, Mr. Francis Baring is represented as having described your petitioner, Thomas Deacle, as one who, during the late dis turbances in this county, incited men to machine breaking, encouraged them to demand a reduction of tithes, and ac companied them illegally to demand money; and was with them when they received money thus extorted ; that /our paitiessr, Caleilew Dame!. was Ili person who watiployed the influence of her sex , and the power of her station, to ruin the poor and ignorant who lived in tier neighbourhood, and that she was present with a mob when they demanded, extorted, and received money. 3. " That, amongst these false and scandalous allega tions, Mr. Thomas Wilde, Serjeant.at.law, is represented as having said, " In one case the mob went to the house of a Mrs. Long, headed by Deacle and Boyce, and having com pelled her to sign a paper for the reduction of rent, they af tewards demanded money. Fifteen pounds were at first de manded, but they afterwards consented to take five pounds ; and after having spent the day in making collections of this kind, they adjourned to the Downs, when Mr. Deacle and Mn,s Deacle, who were with them, superintended the dis tribution of the money." 4. " That your petitioners most solemnly declare to your honourable house, that every thing expressed in the words above recited, is utterly destitute of truth ; that it is false in matter as well as in expression ; that there is not a shadow of ground for eithcr of the above allegations ; and that your petitioners, if your hon house should think poper to permit them so to do, will clearly prove, at the bar your honour. able house, the perfect truth of the denial which they here give to those allegations. 5 " That your hon. house ought to be informed, that an indictment was, just at the close of the session of the Special Commission, preferred against your petitioner, Thomas Deacle, but not against your other petitioner, Ca ro!ine Deacle; that a true bill was found, but that the coin. mission V/114 suffered to expire wi bout bringing your peti tioner to trial ; that the indictment was brought on for trial at the last Lent Assizes at Winchester: that the prosecu tors produced the whole of their evidence: that one of their witnesses, of the name of Collins, on his cross-examinatio acknosledged that he would not say that he had not said that he knew nothing against Mr. Deacle ; and, upon being asked whether he did not believe that he would have been prosecuted himself if he had not promised to give evidence against Mr. Deacle, he said he believed he should have been prosecuted if he had not made such promise ; that another of the witnesses for the prosecution, of the name of Barnes, a carpenter, upon his aces-examination, stated, that during the trials under the Special Commission, he being in the dock, and about to be put on his trial, the jailor, Beckett, called him out, and took him into a room where there were Walter Long,a magistrate,and another person whom he believed to be Bingham Baring, who told him that he should not be put upon his trial if he would come and swear against Deacle; that another person of the name of Prtckett was called as a witness by the prosecutors, and that when the counsel for the defence rose to cross-examine this witness, the counsel for the prosecution interfered, and said that they meant there to stop the prosecution for want of sufficient evidence ; that the counsel for the defence persisted in a wish to go on, in order that the witnesses of his cli e nt migh t b e produced, but that the judge interposed his authority, observing that the defendant was honourably acquitted, and could want nothing more; that upon this pan of the subject your petitioner beg leave to point out to the attention of your hon. house, that Charles Seagrim, the attorney of Francis and Bingham listing, was the attorney employed in the carrying on of this prosecution, and that the said Seagrim was a co-de fendant in the action which your petitioners lately brought against the said Baring, and others. 6. " That the allegations complained of are by the news p a pers represented as parts of speeches &livered in your hon. house but your petitioners having been informed that your honourable house will not receive any petition which com ments on speeches made in your honourable house, do not ptcsume to say that the hon. members named in this peti tion did actually utter the words which have, by the news papers, been attributed to them ; but they complain of the grievous hardships and injurious consequences which have already resulted, and which cannot fail continually to re. suit, from such calumnies being propagated, as coming from members of your honourable house in their legislative ea pacities ; and the more so, since it is impossible for them ,to escape these terrible consequences, without the interfe retne of your honourable house, in such way as to your 1 honourable house shall seem meet. 7. That with regard to thevrordi imputed to Mr. Ser. jeant Wilde, they feel themselves doubly aggrieved, as the said Serjeant was retained by your petitioner, Thomas Deacle, in the action lately tried at Winchester, but that he dal not arrive at Il'incliester till after the trial ; yet he is notwithstanding represented as making a speech tending to the destruction of your petitioner, while he had your peti tioner's money in his pocket as his advocate. 8. " That your petitioners deeply lament the necessity which they feel themselves under, of thus trespassing on the time cf your honourable House ; :but that they I ope your honourable House will have lilt goodness to consider the extent of injury done them, as aforementioned ; as an instance of which, your petitioner, Thomas Deacle, informs your honourable houre, that he was in treaty for a farm belonging to his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, which farm he was very desirous to rent, while the steward expressed an equal desire to have him for a tenant ; but that, in conse quence of the allegations made against your petitioner, as aforesaid, the steward has announced to your petitioner that the Duke of Beaufort refuses to receive him as a tenant. 9. " That your honourable House must be convinced that no individual fortune in the middle rank of life can possibly withstand the assaults made against reputation, as afoiementioned ; that your honourable Housewill at once perceive that no character can stand against attacks spread in this manner all over the kingdom, and coming forth, as in this case, under • the pretended unction of your honourable house. 10. '• That therefore your petitioners beseech your ho. nourable house compassionately to lend an car to a recital of the treatment which they hays experienced, a recital which they will make as brief as possible, omitting unimportant eitcumstances, but pledging themselves to prove, on the oaths of witnesses of unquestionable veracity, the truth of every part of the statement shicb they now submit, in the hope ut obtaining justice at the hands of your honourable house. 11. " Consoled by this hope, they now stare, That on the 24th of November, 1830, at about two o'clo ck in the day, William Lewington and John Switzer, constables of Winchester, came to the house of your petitioners, being the bearers of a warrant signed by the Rev. Robert %'right and one or two other magistrates of Hampshire, and served it en your petitioners, wbo immediately, without any hesi tation, were preparing to dress thennktivcs in it becoming manner, in order to go with the constables, in obedience to die warrant, that, in about five minutes after the consta bles entered the house, they Were' followed with great ap parent violence, and with great rudettess, by Francis Baring and Hingham Bating (being two magistrates of the county), by Robert Wright (clerk,) by Mr. Deese (Winter). of Winchester, and by one S:eagrim, an attorney of Winchester. who Is the pettier' of •another attorney named Woodham who are the , attornies of Messrs. Franci s and Bingham B.ring; that, upon these parties rushing into the honic, Bingham Ruins seeing a friend of your petitioners, or the name of 'YETI'S, in an outer-room, whb was changing his cost, put a pistol to hie bead, having at the same time a dagger in his hand. that he then filing/ea the rest of these violent intruders into the inner room, or parlour, where your petitioners were; that then Bingham Baring came up to your petitioner. Thomas Disci', and striking him upon the shoulder, and then seizing him by the arm, exclaimed, " You are my prisoner r' that at the same time, or the instant afterwards. Francis Baring also seized your petitioner by the collar, while Robert Wright seized hold of the hinder part of his coat ; that thus seized, Bingham Baring having hold of an arm, Francis Baring of the collar of the cost, Robert Wright of the hinder part of the coat, Bingham Baring (in a commanding and menacing voice) said to the constable, Mr. Lewington (Switzer being sent into the yard to bold the horses), • Do your duty !' and Francis Baring, on the constable waning to hesitate, said, ' Do your duty, do your duty ;' in a very quick and stern manlier. That the E constable, in a cons - sionate tone , while putting his hand Ina his coat et, ;7 s answered, ' , There's no occasion for that, sir Mr. e,' will go quietly ;' whereupon Bingham Baring looking sternly at the constable, said, • Hand.bolt them !' that Lewingtoa put the hand-bolt on one of your petitioner's (Thomas Deacle's) hands; that while he was doing this, Mr. Francis Baring quitted his bold of your petitioner's (Thomas Deacle's) collar, went to another mutt of the room, seized hold of your petitioner's (Caroline Des ck's) hand and arm, in order to compel her to submit to b e hand- bolted ; that in spite of the supplications of your pe titioner, Thomas Descle, who represented in the most feel ing manner the delicate and precarious state of health of his wife, she was brought up by Francis Baring, who held her arm until her wrist was fastened in the same bolt with that of her husband; that Mr. Lewington had been or dered at the jail to bring a pair of Vila hand-bolts with him, and that he had them in his pocket, but did not pull them out ; that at this time Bingham Baring went into the outer room for the purpose of disabling the fowling-pieces which were placed in the corner of the room ; that your petitioners were now marched off from the inner room towards the outer room, handcuffed together, Francis Baring still holding the right hand and arm of your petitioner, Caroline Deacle, her left hand being in the • bolt ; that in pulling her forward through the outer room ' into the court, she wishing not to go without her bonnet and I shawl, he pulled her with such force as to pull her hand I through the bolt, except that it was held by the fingers, and I by a pan of the ruffle, which was snapped in the bolt, and there fastened ; that Francis Baring seeing your petitioner, l I Caroline Deacle, thus loose, put his arm round one of her arms, and held her two hands together under his arm with great face and rudeness, still refusing to suffer her to have her bonnet and shawl; and in the meanwhile, Deane, the banker, had quitted the house, and Seagrim and Wright were now on the outside of the house, on horseback ; that the cart, which had been guarded all the while by Captain Nevill, was stationed on the outside of the yard, about 100 yards away from the house ; that Bingham Baring was now employed in knocking the caps off the fowling-pieces ; and pouring beer into the locks ; that your petitioner, Thomas Deacle was now taken to the cart by Lewington and Bingham Bating, which latter mounted his horse, and rode by the side of your petitioner, Thomas Deacle, and the constable; that Francis Baring, refusing to wait for the bonnet and the shawl, proceeded to force your petitioner, Caroline Deacle, from the house and the court, across the wet and dirty yard, in order to arrive at the place where the cart was stationed ; that the servants ran after with the bonnet end 1 a cloak and clogs which they put on as wall as they could, he not suffering your petitioner to use her hands for the par pose; that he then, not 110WeVa till her feet had been wet, carried her across the yeti for a certain distance, by putting his um round the middle of her body, her head foremost, and her heels hindmost, and her person in a horizontal pbsi don, and this notwithstanding her earnest entreaties that he would allow her to go through the garden, where the way was not only clean, but where the distance was much shorter to the cart ; that when arrived at the cart, by the side of which Captain Nevill was sitting on horseback, the Captain alighted, and got into the can; that in the meanwhile Francis Baring applied his hands and arms to the person of your petitioner, Caroline Deacle, In a manner so rude, in. decent, and brutal, as not to be described by her. and thus lifted her up upon the shaft of the cart,while Captain Nevill seized her by the arm and dragnd her into it; that while your petitioner's (Caroline Deacle's) person was handled in this rude and indecent manner, the extent of which indecency she refrains front describing o• your honourable house, Sea grim es,irosiand the Rev. Robt. %Wright weer sitting on theit and looking on and laughing; that the wheel and other parts of the cart covered her habiliments with dirt, and tore parts of them ; that at this time, and even in the court yard, your petitioners earnestly implored that your petitioner, Caroline Dente, might be permitted to ride her horse, fearing, from the state of her health, serious injury from the rude jottings of the cart ; that this request was positively refused by Francis and Bingham Baring, and that Seagrim said, ' No, if you had your horse, you would ride as you did yesterday ! ' that one of the constables (Switzer) said,' For God's sake, Sir, let the lady have her horse, and I will hold the reins, and wfll forfeit my life if I lose her ; ' that upon this Bingham Baring made answer, ' Do your duty, Sir, or I'll report you • ' that the cart was driven by Lewington, and that the horse was a wretched pony ; that Bingham Baring urged Lewington to drive faster, which having done for a little while, he said, upon a sec ond application, ' The lady com plains of being ill, and says that the jolting hurts her,' whereupon Bingham Baring again exclaimed, ' Drive un— make your way to %Winchester ! that Lewington still not driving so fast as Bingham Baring wished, the latter came up, and with a large black stick which he canted, gave re peated blows across the back of the pony ; that the pony now went considerably faster, causing the cart to jolt so much, that your petitioner, Caroline Dawk, felt great pain, and rose up, by bearing upon the side of the cart, and turning round a little, said to Bingham Blaring, ' Really, Sir, I cannot bear this—it will be the death of me—l shall be shaken to death ; that your petitioner, Thomas Dank, 'putting out his hand, said, ' Sit still my dear—bear it as well as you can,' and that hereupon Bingham Baring struck `across your petitioner, Caroline Deacle, a severe blow with the before.mentioned black-stick, which fell upon the aim of your petitioner, Thomas Deacle; that the cart was accompanied by Francis Baring, Bingham Baring, Captain Nevin, the Rev. Robert Wright, Mr. Deane, the banker, and Seagrim the attorney, as a troop of guards assisting the constables ; that when the cart had reached about a half a mile from the house, Mr. Deane went off to Winchester, leaving the rest to attend the cart ; that when the cart arrived at the top of Winchester Hill, about two miles from the city, it was met by a post-chaise, into which your petitioners were put, in company with the jailer, who was in it, and were thus conveyed to the common jail at Winchester; that when arrived at the jail, the six persons before-mentioned hid disappeared; that the jailer hurried your petitioner, Thomas Deacle, into a room where certain magis trates were assembled, amongst whom were Sir' Tho mas Baring, as he believes, and the Rev. Robert Wright the elder; but in the meanwhile your petitioner, Caroline Deacle was put into another room, being the jailer's kitchen, but afterwards was brought into the same room ; that the magi *strata deferred any examination for that night, on the aUeKd account of want of witnesses, and refused to let your petitioners nut on bill ; that after this,' the jailer, Beckett. took your petitioners into the passage and informed them, that he must take your petitioner, Thermal Dente. and put him into a ward, and that he would give your petitioner, I Caroline Deacie, a bed along with the women ; that, upon hearing this, your petitioner. tainline Wade, understanding' that her husband was going to he locked tip amongst felony, fell into a violent hysteric fit, add was falling backward upon the store' floor, which was luckily prevented by your petitioner, Tro`nas Dente, catching her in his inns ; that the fit was very strong, and rendered it necessody to open ' bee clothes, cut the lace of tier step; and thurCezpose her in the presence of numetous p.rsoris of various descriptions, the inmates or the visitants of a common jail ; that after , this your petitioners were permitted, at the expense of ten shillings a day, to live in the apartments of one of the turn. keys, situated on the felons' aide of the jail, and surrounded by felons on every side ; that in this situation your peal. rimier% remained from the everting of the 24th of N..v: mher until the evening of the 27th of November; that on the 21th of November your petitioners were brought before the Ma gistrates, sitting in the jail, and were told that the evidence against them had not arrived ; that on the morning of the 26th of November they were brought before the Ma,tistrates win, always guarded by the jailer or under. jarte, as if they had been felons, and were now told that the evidence was in their favour, but that as all the evidence had not arrived, they Must detain them longer: that in the afternoon of the same day, the under-jailer again brought them into the pre ' Pence of the Magistrates, always sitting in the jail ; that the Magistrates 'lure told your petitioner, Thames Mule, that they had nothing against him, and that he might go, but • they must detain your petitioner, Caroline Made, until the next day, when they expected awns evidence against her; that upon this your petitioner, Thome* Deacle, begged to be permitted to remain with his wife, to which the magistrates answered, No !'—that thereupon your pe titioner, Caroline Deacle, fainted away, and was held in the chair, the magistrates, with Sir Thomas Baring at their head, exclaiming, Take her away, take her away ; she must not remain to interrupt our business ;* That in con sequence of this she was carried out of the room in the chair, and your petitioner, Thomas Deacle, was afterwards permitted by the jailer to remain with his wife ;—that on the 27th your petitioner, Caroline Deacle, was brought be fore the magistrates by the under-jailer, and had read to her a deposition of Robert Wright the younger one of the de fendants in the late action, but that she was not confronted with any accuser, nor were either of your petitioners ever con fronted with any accuser from first to last ; that finally your petitioners were released upon bail given for your petitioner, Caroline Mack, and your petitioner, Thomas Deacle, with. out bail in the first instance, and afterwards with bail, when new pretended evidence had been discovered; that in the meanwhile your petitioner, Thomas Deacle, had declared his intention of bringing an action against the magistrates for assault and false imprisonment; that after this the in. dictment before mentioned was framed against him, and the bill found as before stated, just at the close of the proceed. lugs of the Special Commission which produced the trial at the Lent Assizes, ending in the honourable acquittal of your petitioner ; and that, during the imprisonment of your peti. Homers, the letters sent to them were destroyed by the jailet, in one of which was an offer of legal assistance. 12. " Your petitioners: earnestly pray that your honoura ble House will be pleased, in order to afford them a chance of relief from the most direful oppression, to permit, if compatible with the rules of your honourable House, evi. dens in the premises to be brought to your bar; is which case they solemnly pledge themselves to prove, by witnesses other than themselves, all and singular the allegations con tained in this their humble petition ; and with all submis sion to the superior judgment, and in a firm reliance on the justice of your honourable House, they further pray that you will be pleased to adopt such other measures, relative to the premises, as in your wisdom you shall deem to be most meet. " And your petitlovers will ever pray. (Signed) "THOMAS ORACLE. "CAROLINE DEACLE." " Marvell, July 29." SPIRIT OF THIS HAT'S ✓OURNALS. Tim es.—We have already alluded to Mr. Se nior's pamphlet on poor laws for Ireland, commu tation of tithes, and a provision for the Catholic clergy. On all these important objects of legisla tion, the remarks of Mr. Senior are worthy of being well considered. With regard to the two latter points, he would have convinced us, first, that the existing mode of supporting the established clergy by tithe ought to be abandoned; and, second, that the Catholic clergy ought to have subsistence provided for them by law,—Mr. Senior, we say, would have convinced us of the truth of both these propositions, had not our judgment been made up in their favour many years ago. But respecting the first question which he handles,—namely, that of Irish " poor laws,"— we must be content with admiring the ingenuity of his arguments ; our oi inion of the necessity of a provision for the poor of Ireland remains altogether unmoved. It is beside the pur pose of any inquiry into the justice or expediency of such an institution, to take into account any interests or considerations but such as are expressly Irish. Mr. Senior insists, and very reasonably, that " legislating for Ireland, we are bound to look exclusively to the interests of Ireland, and that to impose on Ireland " any internal regula tions,with a view to produce good, or to prevent evil . ' (he might have slid exclusive good or evil) " to Eng- Isind,would be a base abuse of the preponderance in the United Parliament which the Union gave to Eng land." lf, however, it be true, as Mr. Senior alleges, and as we believe, that the establishment of poor laws in Ireland would not prevent the periodical emi gration of Irish labourers into England, the gen tleman of Ireland ought to feel the less apprehen sion of any additional burden which would be thrown upon themselves by such poor laws, since the same number of their native poor would still carry home from their employment in this country the means of livelihood, independent of their parishes. Mr. Senior bears hard upon the opinions of Dr. Doyle, who has written and spoken in favour of Irish poor laws ; and we must allow that in some respects this strictures upon this able politician are not much open to cavil. It is to be regretted, that Dr. Doyle's evidence, no less than his pamphlet, seems open to the charge of being both vague and declama tory ; and although we have ourselves arrived at the conclusion, that for a mass of poor who have been plunged into poverty by a system of which others have the exclusive guidance, the natural relief is to be found in some measure which would impose upon such guides a moral necessity of amending their system and turning 'it to the poor man's benefit as well as to their own, we cannot collect Dr. Doyle's lips or pen what is the precise measure which he would introduce bearing the name of " poor law," more especially what are the exact regulations and conditions by which he would entitle the pauper to a provision under it. Cit RONICLZ.— Lord Brougham having suc ceeded in drawing dry his own department of the Court, it is expected that the Chancery Sittings will terminate early in the present week ; being the period at which they ordinarily closed whilst Lord Eldon held the seals. Some of eur corm poudents hive inquired in what way the Chancellor has contrived to dispatch so much larger a propor tion of business than his immediate predecessors, PRICF. SEVENPENCE. it being notorious fiat at ments of counsel been ___ diffuse. A few days since, in . moment, the Bench was doomed than eighteen speeches ; and a mat 'cupied three hours of Friday ever ing at the customary Chancery pa, Court on Saturday.

This is, ho' and we shall content ourselves question in the w irds of a bioarapher Keeper of the seventeenth center was most industrious, and that every day did conclude its work, not to live till to-m ow.

Th e y haql43l4y ta an adventurer named Past milwitic, ;AM was the' head of the Unitarian party, "end one who, from his activity and ambition, was likely to prove a very troublesome adversary. His capture was effected by surpr se, but the possession of his person has given the fortunate party an advantage which they have not failed to magnify. The removal of Paz, it was fondly hoped, would prove the grave of further hostilities, as, though a successor, in the person of Gene;al La Madrid, was immediately appointed, in him the whole strength of the rebel cause was thought to reside. In this calculation, however, the friends of peace have suffered a disappointment ; the war has not ceased even for a season, and La Madrid has shown a vigour and enterprise which would not have disgraced Paz himself. lie has cheered his party, depressed by the loss of their late commander, and otherwise shown a fixed resolution to plotraet the war in such a way as to cast at an un reasonable distance the return of tranquility.— With all his skill and devotion, however, he appears not to be able to make head against his adversaries, and we find in these papers official reports of the conquest from his power of the important place at Cordova, and his disorderly retreat towards the north. At present nobody can foresee an end to the troubles which distract the State of Buenos Ayres. These papers mention the death of Mr. Forbes, the United States' Consul at Buenos Ayres, and in terms which show that his departure is looked upon with universal regret. A public meeting had been held for the purpose of devising means of doing honour to his memory. PUBLIC Lena En..—Marriages in high life, as they are called, very often turn out as unfortu nately as marriages in low life, though not quite so bad as that illustrated by the recent horrid murder at Brighton. The remark is suggested to us by the accounts of two affairs of the unlucky order in the upper circles, which occupy the coteries, and which, given as we have received them, may serve to diversify the reading of a Newspaper. In the case of a wealthy Commoner who wedded a Lady of rank and fashion, whose second separation from her husband is likely Irs bring the whole disagreeable matter under the cognizance of a Court of Law, it is difficult for a Public Journalist to state all that be has heard for whatever Gentlemen and Ladies may do, Newspaper Editors must observe deeernm. The Lady, it seems, married with other views than those usually entertained by common people, when they enter into the ho y estate of matrimony. Her husband was much astonished when these views came to be expounded to him, which happened at the first favourable opportunity when the " happy pair" were lett alone together. It must have been a choker to a bridegroom, with no other anticipation but that of commencing his honey-moon, to be told that his sex and himself were objects of peculiar dislike and detestation ; and that, though the weaker might be compelled to submit her obedience, so far from being attended by the other portions of the vow, love and honour, would be accompanied by loathing and indignation. We can fancy the pleasant tete-a-tete which en sued, and which seems to hare been continued, till the lady at last left her husband's roof. Her return, we are told, took place inconsequence Of the legal proceedings which followed.
