(Bete' fuly itivestirted, and the assertion of Ward's guilt was bottomed upon irresistible authority.-- What could have been the motive ? If Ward was to be tried, why prejudice the Jery against him ; and if not, why fis nn him for ever the stigma tallith his imprisonment had Weedy in some degree given rise to? This was whet the Plaintiff had to complain of—that daring the Sespensinn of the Halms Corpus Act, Mr. Clement had endeavour. ed to oppress an already oppressed man ; that he had eedeavoored to prejudice the minds of the Jury by wheat it was presented he should have been tried ; to wrest from him the benefit of a fair and inspaettell hearing, and to obese the Liberty of the l'ren. The Learned and ingenious COunsel for Mr. Clement might attempt to protect bit Client by general ob• serrations on that liberty. Ile (Mr. St-silent) would tell the Jury what he thought of the Liberty of the Press. Ile cootineed the Liberty of the Press, and the Habeas Corpus Act, and Trial by Jory, as sacred parts of the Constitution. Tll* People of Ett ; ;lto I had enjoyed the Liberty of lb* Press Siete the Revolution, and God forbid dear should ever use it. He felt a greater society ow thin subject, from a cirtemstance that had lately come to hi, knowledge. An ingenious Unison, who wee perhaps arquairsted with the mines of this Govern• men, had published a work, fifICO translated, tend. log to show that there were disadvantages coonected with this sacred ;whiles's, which rendered the pro tection of it inadvisable. The man who would n. sail this imputtant right should be considered is a public enemy ; and io proportion as the right which he attempted to violate was sacred. that elided** ought to be punished. The Liberty of the Pun meant, that all might think as they pleased. and publish what they thought,withoet previous (-nourish Bat that liberty was incomps.ible with the power to destroy private character. If that were the defini tion of the Liberty of the Press, it would be despotism under which no man (-fluid live. This sacred power had been abased by Mr. Clement; who had wielded the mighty engine that Rave and took away character, and had the power to throw open the doors of the prisen.house, with a hand guided by none of thou, sentiments of benignity an cheering to the possessor. The person pleaded for woo a man of an honest, temperate life—unhappy—hail beets a captive for werel months without guilt ; sod against this object was the nth/trite of the press ea. ertised ; against him were the mina• of the people poisoned, by the sting of this peblication, which re. presented him as a men capable of treason, spoil, and revolution. Why should this be added to the stock of calamity of him who had been snatched from his family, with whom he had enjoyed the sweets of his industry too dearly to think of disturbing the land in tallith his labours bad been rewarded ? With respect to the damages, It was only nereasery to say that the Plaintiff had been traduced when he had no means of vindicating himself, and that the injury had gone into est•nded circulation by the industry of his to whom he owed this outrage upon hid feelings. The following evidence was then called : Ann Ward (resolved by Mr. DVINIVI).—Wit. nos is the daughter of the Plaintiff, Frank Ward; he is a late.mitnafactern, conducting his own banjo sod empltning 10 or PI journeymen. Witness remembered the constables coming to her father's house on the 10th of June. Il+l7, and morning it; bet they did not take any thing easy. they remaiami nearly an hour, and when they went her father followed them. This was on the Tuesday ; and she did sot see her father again till else saw him in prison no the Saturday following. Ile did not return to his family till the middle of November. Mr. Payne. solicitor at Nottingham, met the Mastiff in the street on the night in question. He appeared mock agitated at the outrage committed to. wards him, not knowing under what authority the constables had acted, or upon what charge made against him. Requested witness's ,drive hnw he should act. Witness said he would rev'ilv atroitl him his advice, sad resorted him to g' to his office for that purpose; witnesa then advised horn to go to the Magistrates of the place, and demand to see the warrant under which the officers had acted.
