This wagon action to recover damages for a false, eeandalses, and malicioes libel against Lord Henry Howard biotin's:, the Misfit, written by the De. feedant, the Ile,. Mr. Mortis, a Clergymen et the FatahHated Chinch, and Rector of Tortingtoo near Arendt!, Semi, and poblished in the Londe,' Wieldy Newspaper called the fixentsser, early in Jaweary, 1816. The cassia was eft down for trial is the Sit ling after Michaelmas 'retro, bet continued a ruse. mint till the present Sittings. It neeopied the Geer' this day from half-put 12 own 11 o'clock at night. The damages were laid at 5001. The extreme length of the proceedings obfiges es to coedits ear detail to a vary short sketch. Ths pcoceeding were spewed by Mr. DtllNAlt, , and tie WO fog the Ptalatiffstaged by Mt. Sc.oaisrr, who professed bat motley was stet the object of Lis Client, bat the vindication of his honour.—The facts Hated, sad afterwards sustained In evidence, •ere shortly thew : The Defendant was isavrimi toe Mies 'rinse, ose of the saterel daughters of be let. bake of Nor- Mk; and his Gems, at the Defendant's marriage, presented hits with the living of Sivelfbanger, in the county of Norfolk, woUb about 4001. a year, and In wale plats afterwards encoereged his to come land live sear Areadel, sod presented him with a small living ie that neimbhowtheed, and frequently retained him and his wife with great kindwees end hospitality et Arundel Castle, along with other cos , pan, who visited there. Bet the Defendant, coo. editing the f.t. failed to treat his wife with the tel. 'speet which be thought her entitled to, as his Grace's natural daughter, he frogvently remonstrated with the Doke : warm akmeations arms betwee• them. The Doke disclaimed any iatestion to treat hue with enkinduess, but his Grace had always uni formly declared his principle was, never to put hit illegitimate children nn the use footing of *eternity sad respect with his legitimate owl.— Os this ground, the Defendant and his wife abeested themselves for some time from the Castle. The Doke had also declared that the names of Ms il legitimate children shoeld never appesr in his will, but they sheold be provided for otbereise by annui ties charged upon his estate. In 1815 his Grace died, Sad left his personal estate arnotipt his neat relatives of the same; and enseogst others, be bequeathed to the Plalotili feer-tenths of his personal eff'cts, alneanting to about 300,0001. subject to certain le germs. The Plirilatiff *es his pertieelar f sines a school-boy. He gave bile a home in his eon boom, sod was 'brays looked on by the family, as his intended heir to the principal put of his seen toiled repitti. 'lir, It appeared, that in his Grace's will no provisibti whatever was mode for the Defend set's wife, nor any thing more then 351. to her en. married sitter, which she eseelly bed in his life-tlene. Bet this the eseeetore, ender a discretion given them Its the will, lecreaaed by an addition of 701. a year WO re. The circumstance .6 exasperated the Defendant, diarist pahliabeil the libel stated in this cause, in the stapes( an easier to a public Address from the Plaits- Ile to his constituents at Gloucester (for which city be had b.ete years Member), declining to stand the 1.11, Gevoral Lieetion but one, referring to his noihro ferric,. ' and challenging the investigation of connect;Zia and in this answer the Defendant not only charred the l'i4intitt with being a dependent slave to the political influence of the late Duke of Nort,llt ; but also with clinging to, meal hanging about him for a WI'S of years, at a legacy bunter, and @sing bate, dishonnarable, and servile means, to Wore Is Grace in bequeath him the principal part of his fortune, and with standing between his Grace end his natural children, and preveutiog him from ioakiog provision for them,while be himself enjoyed so reel a portion of his Graces property, though only a distant relation. This was the substance of the libel, but it was coached In terms of the strongest reproach and invective, end concluded by stating, that persona capable of acting as legacy bunters in such base and dishonourable ways, should be scooted from the society of all honourable men. The libel was fully proved, and the falsehood of it, is every particular, most satisfactorily sestaloed by a umber of most respectable witnesses. The Defendant pleaded Not Guilty, and proposed to justify the publication on the ground that It was tree. And be addressed the Court and the Jery in a speech of two hours and a half continuance ' which be read from manuscript. And he also calledoeveral *knew's, from no one of whom did be obtain a shoes answer to ski his defence. Mr. SCARLETT replied in a speech of sub tile. qeence end force. ' After which the CHIEF Jusvicr ammed up the evidence with appropriate observations to the Jolty, who, after retiring fur began boor, found a verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages 501. ' —Tbe toy.ware was sent borne to the Defendant on the Sd of February. After litmeloieg about two months in her possession, they:ates, on lb. lit of April, returned to the Plaintiff, by s kjod of ratio 'alt verve is the following oatteitri•—tivo men sod %boy gilled early an that morolog at the Misfire boom with u large sack, sod desired to be admitted, as they were the bearers of articles for him from Nat thigbam. When the door was opened, they peaked the Plaintiff *Wide, and threw down into the were. Imes: their sad, which contained the toys that Bed beta sold is tke month of February to tire Defied. ' sot. After baying dose Ibis they rue away. De the port of eve Defendant, it mos stated by Me. Strip/at Vavettax, sod premed in evidence. that the amides thou returned had origloolly bees listen home by the Defendant, on so assurance from the Plaintiff, diet the case in which they were pocked up contained Plead' toys of the 'sweat fashion, and to a perfect mete. Who. the awe, however, wee .specked at the Defendant's bore*, it was found to contain many Eagllsh toys of the commonest kind, and some French dolls, which were oat of fashion and mach defaced. In consequence of this discovery. the Defendant woo very angry, and told the Ptalexiff tint he shoeld take back the toys. In. answer to this, the Plaiotif said, that be Meisel bed bete imposed on in per-1 chasing the articles coetelood in the cote, and re quested that eke Defendant would esdeaeour to sell them at the best pries that els• could, and that be would make an attowonce to her accordingly. Whew, however, the Defendant some lime ofterwardl, in consequence of being enable to sell the toys, re. visited that the Plalnffff Weald seed for them, he refused to do so, alleging that she had agreed to pur chase them enconditiesally. The evidence of one witness exantioed for the Defendant proved, that the fact was otherwise, so clearly that the question wee not allowed to go to the Joel. The Plaintiff was, therefore, sssss ited. always- found ea the same aide of the Hoare with It. Under such circemstancr, it might have been eapected,that when their nominee was *Soling every nerve against Sir M. Milnell, and when theyt were doing their utmost to support ids in these etertions, the Whigs would have pet their shoelders to the wheel, )ud bay* assisted Mese to drive away the Ministerial Csadliate. Nothing of this sort was however done. Diming three months in which you netted yourselves nobly, sod pot such a fare open the Satter as banished him entirely from t4e held, they did big eves stir a single lager In your case.; they - preserved what they called as armed neutrality and said they should like to see is what sooner tee Reformers *mold be able by themselves to fight tt • battle of the People evilest the Court. This !sting the case, elle tees geed they might have done, or at. templed to do, in their oppneitins le the Court. they bad done but little toward the Electors of We,;- simmer ; la aloft, be could not help observing, that their lowly merit was, that when the Court Candidate hal been fairly drirge from theieldby tbeesertiolle of Ike I odepeadont Electors,t hed t reacher nes: v some forward to rob them of the rewards of victory. This statement, though its language might be hush, was a plain statement without any eseggeration, sod was so palpably correct, that he 'weld eves appeal Wo o their opponests to confirms it. He would scot the. baldly whether it was net the fact ?—(lir, if tiree, very tree, seserted from the croscd.)—As to ffiseir motives is bringing forward another C.ndailste, ifter the Ministerial Candidate Ind bees drivesheat Use contest, he knew himself to be too insisnibcant an object to think that they were directed against him ; they were directed against the pormseent session of a Refers is Parliament, sad were, he believed, confeuedly intended to depreciate the character of Sir Freseis Berdett..—(Therr their tided, mid nothing else, ,ssisd from use crowd ) —Every man Is the Meeting whom he ad: dressed, knew this to be the feet, sad also knew that they bad employed the latesperate ruffian oe the other side of the Hestiego to assist them is erecting this Infamous pompom,. After this, it ought sot to etch.. surprise in any thinking mind that the Whig Candidate should costae forward, end is a tone of mock coodolesce, should espies his sorrow WO the Honourable Baronet was losing ell his infs. PM with the Electors of Westminster. He wooed thelitiog of the modesty, of lbw/ dellosity, or the propriety of so young a man as Mr. Lamb taunt. lag them with the fall of a lost-established fa. twits; nor yet would be lay a ford on the an. egadsome conduct pursued by that Honoerablo Gentleman's friends sod partisans towards the re- Opsetabto iodised's! whose motives and actions they so laseesetly 'swagged; ho would °sly eapress his sorrow, that the Hen. Gentleman should have him self so far condescended as to become an humble in strument is the hands of others, to end to fain a character which had been fairly earned by 13 long pears of Itonoorable exertion. 'Mom who em ployed him to do so, would live to rue the intern ;renege df which they bad been guilty; and would cosier or later have caws to regret that they, stand log forward as the advocates of the People, should Agee dune all they coald to ruin a *an, who more lastly them any other, might be distinguished by the title of the Man of the Poople.—(Great applause.) As far as Westminster was conceived, be maintained that the Whigs bad no ruses to take OtO high ground ow which they b.rd placed themselves; and therefore he could not disguise the surprise which he had felt the other dab on meeting certain banners inscribed with " Lamb and Liberty." He could sot`cos coif* who had been so istatested as to advise theft wind these iscosg r words together, or who had boss se acute as to decipher their Meaning.— The liberty which they destined for Westminster was dearly evinced by ail their actions. He was sorry to relate to them that the greater part of hip time was now costumed is hearing complaints of the unjust, the endue, and the tyrannise' Inds sum which had been employed in forcing Electors to attend the Poll ; tad he knew the spirit of the Ann who were Hiss treated, too well to think that soda was the liberty which they wished to enjoy, or form Ohl &station to which they were williag to submit. Though It was sot his intention to detain theta melt longer, he could not refrain from mentioning, before he left them, a clrcemetance which involved a wary important question. That question ought to bate bees decided before they same the lissiiogs, es It related to the paragon of the Poor Rates, and night sot to hate been left for en argument after the polling bad commenced. It had appeared by th.decision which the Returning Officer had made, that those who had not paid the Poor Rates were not entitled to vote, or, in ether worde, wet* totally disfran ebbed. . He asserted that this decisiouwes ter cooformable to the law of the land nor to the suggestions of reason ; and argued that, thoggh the Returning Otlicer bad acted upon his eon pm... dents, sod upon two decisions of the House of Com mons, the sabsequent decisions on the Shaftesbury case were diametrically opposite to that which he had lately gins. He maintained, that if the Poor Rates were sot regularly paid, the proper method of proceeding was to distrais for them; bet now the defeatists, Instead of being distrainerl on, are dis franchised at a blow, by the Kigg's Ilinicters. The effects of this system were mom lamentable; taxation had increased the poverty of the nation, sad the po verty of the nation had diminished the fooshisemest, se that their poverty Well converted late BO MONO to support the present weight of pasties. 'this was, indeed, proceeding is a circle, and was setbieg she than obliging men, who had become poorer by not ation, to contribute to those who oppressed and hay porovished them. The ewes which thy had lost by this detlaiell were numerical's , equal to the snotty WESTMINSTER ELECTION. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. int. U. DUNLORAVI AND ANOTHER V. li•UlltiNlL. This was an action brought by the Plaintiff in order to recover the sum of 371. 10.. for goods stated to have been sold for that entuunl, end to have been delivered to the Vete, fhnl, according to Inch agree ment. Both the Plaitst.ff and the Defendant were foreigners; the former kept a warehouse for lie sale of French toys, the latter a retail shop for the sense purpose. On the Ist of last February, the Plaintitf, as it was stated by Mr. Serjeant Coo.

He was equally unaware et that time, that the pee/Intel in terest, which, daring the last Election, had been ex erted in behalf of Sir Murray Maxwell, was to be exercised against them daring the present Election : because, thoegh he knew that their opponents bad the support of the Mielsterial partisans, he was not aware that the coalition between them had been so complete as it then appeared to be. He supposed that these were the Friends of reel Free dom and Independence, because it was to them that Mr. iamb principally appealed, la his address of that morning.—(" Lamb is is. atjoak, Iperceive," said a vole* in the mob: this oceesiewed groat laughter.)—fly culling upon his friends io (Boat nen. mer, their Whig opponent mast otters to insinuate, that those who bed previoesly upheld the dignity of Westminster bad been the advocates of slavish principles, end that Sir Francis Burdett, instead of being the Iteresentative et the reel whites of the People, bad been returned by the Friends of false Freedom, mod no Independence. The chief merit of the Whip rested on the opposition which they made to the encroachments of the Government; emd as that was the case, he should be glad to knot why the Whigs came forward on the present occasion against the Electors of Wenspiester, who now re. turned two Members is opposition to the Misisny, in stead of returning only one Member, as was the case in the days of Mr. Fos, Ile did out understand the reason why the Whig party, whose merit, es he most @gain repeat, rested entirely on the opposition which they made to the blieisters, shield come forward to obese the men who had prevented Westminster from being degraded Into a Cinque Port, end from becoming little more or less than an Ad. mirelty Borough. lie could not perceive any enac tion that they could have against the Electors id West• minder, who had hiudered a Government Candidate Com begonias their Ropmestative, tacept it were this—that they (thnWhigs) bed not been called in to share the rictnry which bed been achieved, or to participate in the nominfition of the Ceedidate who bed obtained it.
