John Matthew Gutch was indicted for having printed find pub lished in London on the lath of July. 18(8, a cermin filet and Sc iselaious libel aertinst James Mills, in a paper culled " Felix For?,..n's Brined Journal." of which the following is a co py :— " Really. Mr. Mills. this reeved' all those barefaced perver sions of truth. which I hate so often heard you make. flow can you know what account of your trial 1 have chosen to publish? You have not seen it: only pert of the impression of nil journal beiagprieted, and of course nu beam toe public eye. Much as your insolent letter on the gaol business, whlressed to me in the Ilebtol .dlerenry of September last. might have rite in copying from any print that report of your trial which bore the hurdest on your character, I dial. when you read the report which I have 'subleased. that you will give me credit for my im part:l,l4y, and less 'utilise than you scent to allow me. I have copied your trial in the tirst in ranee front the 11, hTlal Gburrver. bemuse I *a.. I.;:vet, to und, emend that • legal relative of the editor of dust paper was in Cum t, and took notes of the proceed ings; but with a charitable feeling towards you,which you really do not deserve, I have =pied also from your bnititer'e paper (the 110.14 Gazette) the reasons I eupro d both of you %m ad wises the public to believe, were those which led to the unfortu nate tainstitt. You: affidavit fortnin„-r,o part of the trial. I w as at liberty to insert or reject, am I pleased, unless youpaid for it as an advertisement. I consider the columns oisrwy Punta! too valu able to devote them to a vindication of your chatrecter, unless receive a suitebie remuneration." 'Mr. Janie , ' Mills. the protherutor, requested to be allowed to address the Court and Jury ou behalf of the prosecution, on the pponnd that he had (th a former indictment employed coun el. and that he did not think proper to pay for the isesisbuice of a professional et ntleman on the rresent occasion. Mr. Itollasnd,on the part of the del ndant, objected, and cited the opinions of lard Elletiborotiell, awl Lord Chief Juettee Ab bott, to prose that privet• intliviluale were not allowed in such a case as the present to address the jury. The King was here the proeecutur. and Mr. Aline could come into Court only in the c'earacter of a Witness. The Common• Sergeant valor opinion. that Mr. Mills had no tight to address the jwy. It was tee invariable practice of every May, in cause of felony, to buffer the prosceetor to act only in the cltuacter of a witness. Mr. Mills.—! claim it as a right, and if the Court will rot allow me to speak. I will give up the prosieentiom The Conine n•Sergeant.—l cannot. 1 dare net alter whet I:as been decided by such high authority. Mr. Mills aAS then called as a witness in the ordinary manner, and of er a short pause lie took the cestomary oath. lle was ex aminee' by ttic Common-ticrgeare, and etates!. that he was an engineer residing at Costann, 'leer Bristol. Turning in the gen :l(llms of the jut', he skid, " I aid slate the feels of thee:see to iseritlemen.' Th e Coma. m .et ergee nr--" The CCUT: IS not to be trifled whh in this muerer, you must usidress ears, 11 to me, and ar.swee the rosters rut by me." 31ills then rroceedcd to read the facts of the case from the resold ; bat 11: , was a; ain it tempts ii by the Court, and was cern relied to detail :he facts in the legal and oniinary manner. He and that on Friday evening, nth July. 1818, be eslled at the silice of Mr. Gutch. in Ilris,ohand found that he was from home. Ile saw. however, Mr. Gutell'e agent. Denote ILI% and witness •sked him whether Mr. Gate's had inserted ti c account of hit, trial in his pare:. In conscecterce of the answers 1:c received, he desired that an Melt lie had made might be inserted in the paper, it ha▪ ving an:eared in the other Bristol perces About two or three hours utter Ire had left the alike, lie received a message, anti he in consequence again went to tire office, and wrote a letter a:!- dressed to Mr. Guteli requesting the insertion of the affidavit which wits to be charged to him. Thenext 'staining Mr. Gutch 's parer appeared in picot. containing the libel in question. 4:ro,s-extintinecl by lelr.

When he wrote the letter thstiesting the insertion of the &Hides it. he had not hien the account or site trial. lie had made a cherge against Mr. Gott'', at Bristol. Mr a libel, which he slid not substantiate, bi:Catlae he was in London at the time it came on. 3lr. Ludlow, his counsel. raid, lie would give bins notice, but he never did, and 'dlr. Gutch was acquitted in consequence. Mr. Churlee Keeling lived at No. 3, Budge-row. -nd was not now in employ. lie applied to the Stsnip•office to know who sues the proprietor oldie Br istcl Jour na l. Th e eer eg eete was produced and read, by which it appeared that Felix Farley was the original proprietor, and (jr. (lute' was thepr_s,r,tproprietor. Witness saw the instrument signesi by the Cemanissioner. William Moore was next called, but dist not appear, aril there being no pmof that the libel was published in London, as charged in the indictment, the detendaet *us acquitted. John Matthew Gulch was again theists:el lin having prinnel and published the following libel against Jeatell Mills in London, on ti e rah Feb. 1819 t— " To our reaches at home, Mr. Mills's character is too well known to need description, but our slheant readers, ought to be inlitimed that he is a modern Iselin. al tieruicgogue. and a great advocate for the wide extension el the /iberty of tie ease But e shall be indeed surprised, if alter such conduct Ise this, if alter another proceeding of a similar description against otherl respectable citizens of Bristol, in which he was disgracefully non suited. Ali. Mills should ever find himself at his ease in this city. We aid forbear to particulazize a prusteation now pending by the same patriot arid defender of the rights of man, aensinat another respectable citizen, for perjury. 'low blessed would be the effects of reigning motlernpattioie--how ceneistent in conduct unusually philanthropic. May Heaven avert such a ca !badly from us, and may it please ,11r. Mills to visit the distant shores of Anti:tire, tie de-rnier resort and asylum for refugee pattiots, and no longer disturb tile peaceable and industrious pettiots of Bristol in the enjoymett of their good fame, by bringing actions against them which he cabnot support, and ainaeal pnrsecuLosuillich he is unable to substuntiate." Charles Reeling called end gave evidence to the same a:et as on the last indictment. William Moore was also examined, sad stated that he was bean waiter at the Chapter t.:dfee-house. He proved that he received the Bristol Jour*el of the f,th of February, but he haw nothing of the prir.tcr and publi,her of the p.tper. He produced a file of papt:s, among which was the hi ishd Journal of t'w 6th . of February. Mr. Ilollar.d observed. that there was yet no proof of the libel being published in London. Mr. Mills—l eso prove that a man has read it in London. The Cottanon Seigeant—That will rat do; VwCmtesthave legal evidence, or none at all. It would be load indeed if the law allowed a man to be dragged up front Bristle/ to London, and to be converted upon illegal testienury. Dennis 'fill was then called. lle was agent to Mr. Gutch at Brimil. Papers acre occasionally sent from the office to the Chapter Coffee-house, but he could not tell whether the identicul part produced was sent limn the office of Mr. Crutch at Bristol. 31r. Afills was asked, whether lie had any more witnesses to call, turd he repli-el that lie lcul not. JUNE 7. The Common Sergeant. —Then you have not prove d your case. "iltre is no prod •'.• the libel was published in Lomloa. Mr. will csil ro tr.re r itne.seu ; I coneeke myself to have ken very hart 4 uml unjutitly treated. I came here not as wimlas, but to ederess the Cwttt. _ _ The i:Olumon Sergesnt.—l advise yllt, for your own sake, Mr. Mills, not to hold that languake, or the Court will be compelled to deal harshly with you. The proof not being sufEcient, the Indent was acquitted by the Jury. Mr. Mills during the trial was allowed to remain at thr Bar ri...ter's table. and notwithstanding the manner in which he behaved M the Court. was treated with the utmost politeness. Mr. Ilvnry Hunt was in Court during the whole time, and arsi.ted Mr. Mills by his advice. Vr'untrwsnaw, Jusrl 2.—The whole of the trials haring been decided, the following 13 prisoners (among whom only one had been convicted of forgery) were sentenced to death : John Smith alias Canton, Sarah Blakeley. Jane Brown, Samuel So!onions, 'natio Nluzzirati. Patrick 3le Court. Rubeit Rhodes, John Ilurges, Hannah I lowley. Edward Slaribbs, Julia Bryan, John Sheering, and John Green. Cli.arles Bentsen was brought up among the other prisoners to receive the sentence of the law. Ile was indeed the very paint,: of wretchedness: his hollow eyes, and emaciated countenance, evidently showed the dreadful mental su fl lTings he had under gene alu ring his continem...nt in Newgate, even tor the short space of time which had elapsed daze his trial and cotaviction on Friday last. When broug'rt into the dock, and while sentence of 7 years' transportation was passing upon him, he held down his head and was silent ; but es soon as the sentence was pro noutwed, he became dreadfully agitated and burst into a flood of tears. In this state he was led out of Court 4 one of the turn. keys. A sorit looking determined thief, who stood by the side of Bennett. and who received a similar sentence, harmed a striking contrast to the behaviour of Bennett; and to show how little ha eared lin the punishment. addressing the Ili,order, voci } erated with an oath, .• I hope you may remain there till I come back." 'Fbe whok number of prisoners who were brought up SoQ sentetwo was 136. The Match between Donnelly and Oliver was made on Wednesday at Mr. Dignam's, Haughton. street, and the whole of the 100 guineas a side, was made good to fight on the 21st at July (Fri.. doy), a stand up fight, in a 24 feet ring, halt mi. note time.
