LAIV IYTELLIGENC.E. COURT OF KING'S !WNW., TaurtsnAv, MAY 14. THE KING V. AW:01:It THI%TLEUOED, The Attorney Genemi stated the case to Cie ~T.try very shortly. It appeared that "il,istiewood Lad been charged with other parsers ith the crime of High Treason, and it became Lord Sidmouth 's de'y as SeLretary of State, to issue his warrant to arprehend tl:e deti:ntlant, who was afterwards acquitter.: after this, flamer, on 'the 'third of February last, the Noble Lord received the letter in question from the defendant, which contained as plain and unequivocal a challenge as it was possible for any language used on the face of the arth to express. Lord Vin.onnt Sidmouth deprec3, that he received the letter in question by the two penny post, at his Louse in Clifferd-street, on the 3d of February last. Thomas Bayley, butler to Dora Sidmouth, deposed, that the letter in question was delivered by the two penny past, in Cliftwd-street, on the ca of February, and he immediately save it into the hands of the pro-. secular _ _ _ _ _ _ . The defendant complained of the hardship of 'his ease, and of that cruel treatment on the part of tie Crown Office, respecting his witnesses. He had been most hardly used, and it was out of his power to sub poena witnesses. The letter was then read by the Clerk at Nisi Prius. Mr Justice Bayley asked the defendant if he had any thing to say to the Jury? The defendant replied that he had not ; but reiterat ed his complaint against the Crown ()dice. There was ene gentleman in Court, whom he had subpmnited, who could give evidence, lie believed, on his behalf. Mt. Justice Bayley told hira that he was perfortly at liberty to examine any person present, w nova evi dence would be of al. an tap to him, although he had not been regularly suLpeen..ed ; but The defendant declined this, saving, .hat he could not examine that person withcot the rest of his wit nesses. Mr. Justice Bayley, In charging the Jury, adverted to the defendant's complaint that he hal not had an opportunity of producing his W itne ss e s His Lordship said that if the defendant had any just estis.! cf com plaint upon this point, and should hereafter he able to satisfy the Court, upon affidavit, that that was the case. it would be proper fur him to make an ►pplicetion to the Court upon the subject, and his Lordship had no doubt that the Court would afford him such redress as under all the circumstances of the case lie ought to re ceive. Ample justice would be afforded him, whatever suight be the result of the ease. The defendant, how ever, ought to have been prepared to lay his clew fully and fairly bethre the Jury, and it was now too late to stop the ease upon his mere suggestion that he had been deprived of the me. ms of producing his witnesses. His J.ordship's duty was confined within very narrow lacunas ; he hal nothing to do but state the case ae it how appeared upon the evidence. The Learned Judge then summed up the case for tt•e Jury. who returned the following verdict—" We arc unanimously of opinion that the defendant wrote letter, intending to provoke the prosecutor to fight sided. and therefore we find him Guilty." Mr Thistlewood then asked his Lordship if he was at liberty to stove for a new trial? Mr. Justice Bayley applied in the affirmative. The defendant was taken away in the custody of th Marshal. ACKETZIWAN V. BROWN AND ANoTHrn. This eras an action by the printseller of the Strand against the defendants. for printing an engraved like of her Royal Highness the late Princess Char lotte of Wales, published by the plaintiff. Mr. Topping and Mr. Curwood conducted the plain tiff's case, and Mr. Marryat and Comyn, this de fendants' _ _ ‘Vittiess..T, were examined on both tides, the sole questioo being, whether the clifenilants' print was a piratical ropy of the plaintiff's? The scientific wit nesses called by the latter swore positively that it was a piracy, and those on the part of the former were elually certain that it was an original. Indeed, .‘lr. I enderson, the artist, swam that he had himself talt.in likeness from tae life in Covent tiarden Theatre, fvna wLith the defendants' print was engravca. wl:ele case went to the Jury wit) suitable ob vrvations from the Learned Jucigc, and a verdict was fok.ad for the defendants.

SAGACITY OF A GACTIIOI.II43 AND PottrrEit.—We have had a great many remarks of late osi tae sag.:ity and ingenuity of dogs ; but perhaps the fact recorded in the following anezdote, the truth of which may be relied tigers, has nut been surpostal by any thill has yet appeared. A gentleman in the cotnty of Stirling kept a greyhound and a poiriter, and, fond of ccuraing, the pointer was aceu.totned to rind the hares, an I the greydictind to catch them. IVhen the seasou was over. it was found ti tat the dogs were in the habit of going out by themselve., and killing the hares for their own amusement. To prevent this. a large iron ring was fastened to the pointer's neck. by it leather collar, and hung down, to as to prevent. the ti from rmning or jumping over dykes. &c. The animals, twevriver. contir.ued to stroll out to the fields together; and one day' the gentlemkn, suspecting all was not right, re-olved to watch them. and, tt• his surprise, found that the moment they thought they were unolusetted, the greyhound wok up the iron ring in Ina mouth, and. carrying it, they set off to the hill., and began to search fur hares as usual. They were followed; and it W.ts ebserved that, whenever the pointer scented the hare, the ring was deapped, and the greyh.>en4 stood ready to pounce upon pee: puss, the moment the other drsave her from he: form, but mat he uniformly returned to assist hie mt. pinion when he bad acceinpli.led his ob;e:t.—E.e.iniltarres ilfewaziete.
