Mr. *Duff .was then infoimed, to his 1 , 14 , 'astonishment, that an indictment for perjury against M. • ! 3. )1r. ' Beveridge was in canitimplaticin ; and •be was tej% 'iirequested to ;ail. upon Collie - F . .on the evening, when - ed l'il'e shnu4l he shown the letter written to Coote, and v , is 'the deposition on which the criminal proceeding was . .'

Ikes..the forms of jut '''' tqNice were employed to exaort from Mr. Beveridge a consent to betray his interests and his credit. Mr. ; • bl/Duff agreed to mention the matter to the Plaintiff, ~'a" who rejected the offer with proud disdain, not con " 'descending to make any reply to. an Offer so dero gatory. This bill was presented to the Grand Jury in consequence in January, about 13 months after • the date on which the perjury was alleged to have u•'• been committed ; and only a few days afterwards Mes. Beveridge, at that time confine& in childberi, received the following arronyindus letter, which would be proved in tl.e hanclwriting of the Defend ant, Charles Pughsley : " .. Thur.dny Evening, ?54 January, 1817. " I do'nt know whether you are aware that your Imbued is indicted at the Old Bailey for perjury, and the Grand Jury havinglound a true till against him last Saturdav, and I fear that the circumstances are so clear, aura the esidenee so strong, there is but --.:. little chance of his escaping a conviction, and that is transportation. I think It a pity that Mr. B. did not attend to the first intimation he had of such a proce dure.: he must be well aware thst the parties will . carry every thing they may have egainst him to the' greatest extremity. I was • told' the other day the , parties did not intend to stop there . ; should he escape punishment in this Instance, I, hear they have stinting - pull against him that will materially affect his pocket, &c. You can make what-use of thii in formation you think fit.—Frin a welt.wisher of . _yours, whci'subscrihes hiMself StL:." This intimation obviously referred to the letterlo r 'Mr. Coote, and it displayed a system of iniquity and .malice seldom exceeded in a Court of Justice. With . ; eespect to the connection of Hardy, the Learned . ' t er r Counsel was in a condition to prove repeated (led'. . • retions which showed that he partook of the spirit of the rest, anal was an active and zealous abettor of their crime. This was not all ;the Defendants . 1)2(11 • ...,oefitted upon their malice. Afters in vain using this I ' prosecution as a threat, they wort obliged at length ▪ to bring it into Court, and here they displayed great ingenuity ; for, bele* IV al ' assured that they could soot convict the Plaintiff of wilful and 'corrupt per. jury, or even of mistake, they took care to keep 4-their witnesses out of the way; and as soou as the , Counsel for the Crown had concluded an ezaggerated • statement (warranted by his instruction.), they pre, tended to have been taken by surprise, and consented to a verdict of not guilty for want of evidence; thus 4. laving the stigma' of accusation upon the Plaintiff -'.without affording him an opportunity of cotiviricing a coJiiry of his wen innocence and their guilt. For this Itijury he . now sought damages at the hands of twelve honourable men, who knew the value of a good • name, and were consequently able to estimate not merely the loss, but the deep sofferings of the Plain - tiff. Weaver had not been included in this action, keorder that the other side might not be in a conch .; lion to say that the Plaintiff had deprived_ them of every witness who could establish their exculpation. • Let the other side call Weaver, and it would only further establish the malignity and iniquity of their proceedings. The Learned Counsel then proceeded 'to adduce ' his evidence : it is inipossible to enter into the de. tail;. it will be perhaps sufficient to say, that the *R enate-generally supported his statement. There - were; however, some deficiencies, end h 'seemed clear .that - hli.

The trial did not conclude until nearly ten o'clock I at night. _ 1••••• ;:~~. BROWN r. cnoore. This was an action against a Solicitor, for publish. ing an alleged scandalous and defaMatory libel, of sod concerning the conduct of the Plaintifitowards , his creditors, after he had become liable to a Com mission of dankroptry. Mr. TOPPING, Mr. GURNEY, and Mr. CAMPBELL were for the Plaintiff, and Mt. SCARLET? was fur the Defendant. It appeared that the Plaintiff had been concerned in two mercantile houses, one under the Arm of I Brown and Ca., in the county of Gloucester, and the! other of Tozer and Co. in London. Both houses.' had become Bankrupts, and the Defentiatit, as Soli citor for the 'Gloucestershire Commission, published an Advertisement in the Gloucester Paper, purporting to be a Notice to the Creditors in the country, affirm ing as matter which had been proved, that the plain tiff had collusively drawn bills to the amount of 6 or 80001. in the name of Brown and Co., for the pur pose of favouring particular London Creditors, in order to induce them fraodelently to supersede the country Commission, and pass his examination with out difficulty berme the London Commissioners ; and also, that he had, on the 17th of Juste,-1816, fraudu lently withdra'ssii, without the knowledge of his partner, property from the Gloucestershire concern ‘to the amount of 10.0001. wllich he had raised by forced sales.)---The . Defendant pleaded the general issee o not , guilty, and • • Mr. SCARLET? said, he was in a condition to prove the truth of the facts Charged in the alleged libel, but bora FALEMBORnUGII was clearly of opinion, that as the Defendant had not pleaded a justification, it was not competent for him to go into any such evi. dance. If there was any doubt entertained of the correctness of his opinion, he should be very happy to have the question put into any sbape most agree able to the parties. Had the matters contained in the Advertisement, been communicated exclusively to the creditors of the bankrupt, in the shape of a circular, be was.not prepared to say that the conduct of the Defending was penal, but inasmuch as it was a pub heating to the whole world, who could not be inte rested in the supposed conduct of the Plaintiff to wards his Eteditorh ; the Advertisement was, strictly speaking, libellous, and the Defendant was amenable , to the law., Mr, TOPPING then proceeded with the Plaintiff's case. • Mr. Scanzzrr then contended, that the Defendant, as a professional man, was justifiable in making this publication, as he had done nothing more than what an honest zeal fur the interests of Hs clients required ; and.he likened it. to the case of a brief delivered to Counsel, containing defamatory • words against one of the parties to a snit. Bul— lard ELLENirozoucti dissented from the compari son, as in sucks, case there would hypo publication. He war not prepared to say, that if the Advertisement had beep drawn up more guardedly, that it would be liable to legal cognizance, but he was clearly of opinion, that in its present form it was libellous. The Jury manifested a wish to give the Plaintiff 1001. damages, but— The Counsel on both sides having consulted to gether, it was agreed that a .nominal verdict should Ibe taken for One Shilling, rihich was recorded. Friday, between nine and ten o'clock at night, a boy, named William Thompson, was stopped on the Waterloo-bridge road, leading from Stamford-street, by iwo men, one of whom struck him a violent blow on the head, and held his hand over his month, while the other took a balf-crown piece from him, which was all the money he had about him.—One of the fellows said, " D— him, let's kill him ;" the other sa,id ••••••••••• him, throw him halo the ditch," and, after beating him till be was totally bereft of his senses, .they threw him into the garden of Mr. Bick erton, Overseer of Lambeth. About two hours after, a person passing heard a groaning, and having pro cored, light. discovered the boy (who is only ten : years of age) in the state described. ,ne *l4. con veyed by the Overseer's orders to hia.friends. morning, between two and three o'clock, as Thomas Platt was passing along George-street, Vete .Dyott.street), St. Giles's, he was headed near the M n ajdeoheed public-house by e peg robbers,and knocked down. They then dragged him into a coffee. iliop . aeat door, and laid him in -the passage, where they commuted kicking and beating him in a most dreadful manner. He called " Murder," several times, but pisattentine was paid to his cries, and the !Mains succeeded in cutting out his mnall-clothes pocket, containing 31. 51. in notes and silver; they then beat him . again, and ran away. Mr. Platt apnea the nearest-w4khasau,to whom he related his lett, and they proceeded back to the coffee-shop, which was felt of mean, and women. Here Mr. P. pointed ee't twe l peetiensi of those .that attacked him, . and they were lested inSt. Giles's watch-bosses • • itittOti "asks**. Do lleum, a respectable builder, o.

Mr. Dollman in defence said, that Mr. Large* was a man of very irritable temper, and had ha the re-' lotion of this terrible-affair gone far beyond the truth. The fact was, that on a preeedindevening,. he had joined with himself and two others in a robber . at whist, and Mr. Latgow refused to pay his !risings, the sixpence in question. Ins consequence he said he would ask him for it, ,whenever he met him,• and accordingly he had done so, but so far from seizing and dragging him, he had made the Application in a pleasant and jesting manner: Mr. Latgow. how.

This accoont was corroborated by the. whole of the company.
