[We gave in our Paper of Saturday last, a brief Report of this interesting trial for en alleged Libel. The case in itself is so important, the abuses animad verted upon so flagrant, the liberty in qoestion so necessary to the Public, and the speech of the Lady, who so nobly acted the patriot's part, so able 4nd ' valuable, that we deem it necessary to subjoin a fuller account of it. We likewise mention with pleasure the names of the respectable Jury, elm on this occasion so honourably Maintained the privileges of British iebjects, and the character of English Ju rymen.] The following Jury were sworn : Thomas Trrluvr, Jame.: hlirhell. Richard Arthur. Nahnth Randall, I' .rnard Ruttier. Henry Collier. .l•tlin Wilton John Steven-, John Evans, Edward Blake. Buddy linty, and John 'Choi:. The Counsel for the prosecution having stated that this was their case, the Defendant rose to ad dress the Jury, whic' she OA wish much force and animation, from a Dauer wlich she held in her hand. She said, her appratat.ce there that day arose nei ther from levity not presumption, but from a melon choly'netessity —it was her inability to fee Counsel that forced her no her own defence ; and that ina- Wily was occasioned by a heavy debt due from her :oros , cotor to her brother, the payment of which he 'ad hitherto avoided by secreting himself. Even the inavoidable PX pence:. attendant on this prosecution rl greatly injured her family ; and she did whet nth principle and feeling dictated in not farther en •-, oactiing• on the comforts of a widowed parent, by thus defending herself in an action which might have been cauard by indiscretion, but had no part of its origin in crime. She threw herself upon the indul-, Onee of the Court. nod hoped any irrelevant matter she might bring forward would be attributed to ig norance and not to intention. She came before them wholly ignorant of the rqnivocstions of law, unpractised in the arrangement of argument, and th.stitute of the graces of oratory ; possessing only the rude weapons of reason, sod the untutored dip quorice of nature, to oppose tried talents and pro fessional skill She was not qualified to discuss the question but on the ground of moral tight and wrong, and on this it must finally rest. The indictment charged her with publishing, from malicious motives, a false and injurious statement of the conduct of Mr. Richard Gurney, whilst Vice-Warden of Devon. — Every part of the statement she had made, she was prepared to prove ; as well as to repel the imputation of malice. She should state* passage from Lorrl• Ellen borough's Charge to the Jury on the trial of Cobbett fora libel on the Administration. His Lordship said— " It has been observed, that it is the right of every British subject to exhibit the folly and imbecility of the Members of the Government. But we must con fine ourselves within limits :—if, by so doing. indi vidual feelings are violated, there the Fine of inter diction begins, and this offence becomes the subject of penal visitation." On this it had been well ob served :—" How can the Members of Government be blamed without an injury to their feelings ?"-Ale who undertook to act in a public capaCity, made himself, in some sort, public property; and had no right to complain of any personal inconvenience, arising from a fair comment on his conduct in the execution of his duty. The Prosecutor held a pub lic office, and was responsible for the due perform ance of its duties. The letter for which she was in dicted treated only of his misconduct in his official capacity; and she was able to prove that all the charges are incontrovertible.—Here his Lordship in terposed, and said: I cannot allow you to make these statements ; what had you to do with exposing his bribery and corruption ? Why did you not state these facts to the Attoniez•Geaeral ?--_ Toil' CSIIRQL I_ iv•urcugnil 4, pm balsam', • wa arm ws• metstras,o• • • . - • ~~ J L i
