Next, the electing of committees and sub-committee:: is suggested; each member of the layer to engage to collect Is. per week, by weekly con tributions of one penny or upward trek.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCILRY. SATURDAY, MAY VI. Mr. Hart moved for an order, to bring Mr. Taylor, of the Opera house, into Coat t, in order to his commitment, for disobedience to his Lordship's i n junction respecting the application of money taken at the doors of the Opera, for the benefit of the concern generally. The Lord Chancellor said, though Mr. Taylor's conduct was in decorous, and highly reprehensible, yet he did not think it came within the scope of those cases of contempt or contumacy which the court had been in the habit of visiting with extraordinary seve rity, but his Lordship was of opinion, that the Receivers, five or i six n number, had been guilty of disobedience to the injunction. So they appeared to be circumstanced at present. It was, however, possible that they had acted under the influence and authority of their superiors, and might allege something in extenuation of their conduct. He should, therefore, require their attendance in court on Tuesday next for that purpose, and it they did not give some satisfactory explanation he should feel it incumbent upon him to commit them. Mr. Hart observed, that Mr. Taylor put him in mind of the baker at Constantinople, who sold bread deficient in weight, yet contrived always to escape the vengeance of the police, and to get his journey men burnt to death in Isis oven, as a punishment for the crime of which he alone was guilty. The Lord Chancellor said, even if the master baker was before him he could not commit him unless his guilt was made manifest, but he wished to remove an erroneous impression—which was, that a person, having the rules of a prison, might with impunity be guilty of a contempt of that Court, as a person under such circumstances had been committed to close custody. by Lord Ilardwieke, for a contempt, and his Lordship should feel it his duty to adopt the like course for a similar offence. COURT OF KING'S BENCIT, MAY 20. THE SING V. CitEEVEY. Thomas Creeven Esq. M. P. came into Court to receive judgment, fen hiving, published ie a newspaper certain words, spo►:en by him in the House of Commons, respecting Robert Kilpatrick, Inspector-Ge rieral of 'Faxes at Liverpool, and which W( re considered by the Judge and Jury %.1,0 tried the indictment as injurious and defamatory. Mr. C:ve.- - y put in ;In affidavit, in which he contended for the pri vileges of Pu.'iament, and the freedom of speech, and protested against the jurisdiction controul of the Court. Mr. Park replied, and after a short conversation among the Judges, Mr. Justice GRoSE pronounced the sentence, which was, that Mr. Creevey 710 pay a fine of 1001. to the King, and he committed till such fine he paid.—Mr. Creevey immediately paid the fine mid withdrew. Yesterday Mr. White, provrietor of The Indepetulant Whig, was not brought up to the Court of Lime.. Bench, as was expected, to receive judgtnent for a libel on the Duke of Cumberland. MAY 23.
