I I W ImmolmD . 60CRIP . OF KING'S BBNCII,GuttnaaLL, Jan. 9. 8I(ORIGOR ti. THWAITIS AND ANOTHISR. Tbls was an action by the person c ommonly called Sir . 1 -Arteor M'Orrgor, but stylinf , himself in the pleadings simply as "Gregor M'OreXer. against the two principal proprietors of the pu blis h e d t for a libel. The artkle complained of was p in that newspaper of the 14th drOctober last. The pleadings having been opened by Mr . RICHARDS, The Court IN SIIRCISANT stated the case on behalf of the plaintiff. He appeared fora gentlemen of ancient family in Scotland, well known by the title of Sir Gregor M'Oreger, whose name had been used by the public press with as little ceremony as that of any man in existence. In early life, he had been in military services, and joined the South American Patriots in the struggle to obtain their freedotn. Having returned in 1822, he turned his mind to a new adientare,and having obtained a grant of a large tract of the Mosquito country, invited persons whose circumstances rendered them willing to emigrate, to share his fortunes in that distant region. The country was described by Bryan Edwards, in his work, written under the sanction and for the use of Government, in the most glowing colours. [The 'awned Counsel here read along extract from the book to lebich he referred, representing the climate of the Mosquito country as healthful, its soil fertile, its rivers abounding in Mb. and its shores with turtle.] So volute tuctos, indeed, were the pictures given by several authors f this territory, that a reader would almost suppose o it had been e xempted from the general curse, and that all things necessary to human support were peered forth, without requiring the labour of man. An old prejudice once indeed existed against colonization, which a more enlightened policy had rejected, and which certainly Mr. Scarlett would never attempt to revive.— Lord Selkirk had proved by precept and by example, the beneficial results of encouraging a superfluous population to migrate; he had established a colony on these very shores ; but he had excited the jaalousy of established com panies in the neighbourhood of his little state, and the issue bad been war, which must have been decided in this Court, had it not been terminated by the death of the noble adven turer. It had been the lot of the plaintiff to experience simileannoyances; his project consequently failed ; but he was not, therefore, to be censured. He had taken all due precautions • he bad engaged a surge on to attend on the emigrants ; 'he had supplied them with tools for the cola. ration of the soil, and bad shipped a large quantity of pro• visions for their use. To whose fault the misfortunes Which followed were attributable. he would not assert ; perhaps he might be able to show from the witnesses which the defendants threatened to examine. The settlement, however, failed, and the emigrants leaving the spot, were /mired at Honduras, under circumstances of some sispi. dim and sent home by various captains: Oa the 13th of October, an application was made to the Lord Mayor, respectingtwe chililren;who had been brought from:Honda . nil by Capt. Antrim, when directions were asked anduriven respecting their future support. In the Morning Herald of the following day, an article appeared purporting to be a report of the proceedings on that occasion, far exceed• lag in latitude all fair licence which could be given to the public press on such occasions, and calcul sted to convey tol The world the grossest calumnies against the plaintiff in the most specious form. (The learned counsel read the article charged as libellous, and declared that although it wastruethatthe settlers bad beendisappointed, and had sustained great misery, yet all the allegations imputing to the defendant intentional deceit or fraud were wholly groundless) If, said the Learned Coonsel, others were deluded, Sir Gregor was no less so; if they sustained loss, Ire - was the greatest sufferer. The defendants lid placed two defences on the record; first, they asserted that they had a right to publish the article, %manse it was a correct report of what actually took place ; next, they asserted Op the charges contained in the article were in fact true. As to the first, he believed that the report was not correct —that Mr. Prince and Captain Antrim never used the Isnguege imputed to them; but if it were rbrrect, it would be no justification of the libel. Granting that a journalist had a right to publish all judicial proceedings in a costa or before magistrates, still this right extended only to judicial proceedings, and not to any scandalous matter, foreign to the matter in issue, which any stranger might choose to utter. As to the second class of pleas, his client had ehallenerd them; he had put himself on his trial; and he defied his accusers to fix on him any taint of dislinnour. IVhen that justification had been attempted and had failed -as fail it must—the Jary would not d.al out damages with a sparing hand. The conduct of the defendants, ind , cd, proved how inveterate their feelings were towards the pla:wilf ; for on Wednesday last, when this trial was expected to coma, they found room in their piper, though occupied by their trial at Hertford, for a paragraph coaled front a country journal respecting what they called "The cruel and infamous Poycis Hoax." This was the cane he should lay before the Jury. and he was sure they would do the plainiff the justice he had a right to claim. The publicati or being admitted falward Irving was sworn, a d examined by Mr. Poi- LOCK-1 know the plaintiff, and was employed by bim as a land agent in Edinburgh,. My business with the plaintiff was, to make sales of land in the Poyais territory. Many persons went out from Scotland in 1823; and some in 1822, in smacks to London. Others went in the. ship Kinnersley Castle and the Skene. I have beard the libel read. In my opinion it injures his character, for it applies to him, end he is the person meant. The settlers went out as lahonrers. • I made representations to them of the nrture of the place they were going to. About 2;0 260 prisons in all went in the Einnersley Cootie sod &roe, and sailed for Black River and Poyais. Cross-examined by Mr. ScarthaTT-1 never was there; the representations made to the settlers were from ;milli: cations ; from a publication of Bryan Edwards—Wright's " Memoirs of the Mosquito Shore," and " lienderson's Ilonduras." I know Mr. Stranieways, and believe he wrote this book (a book had helm handed to the witness); some poetry, entitled, " A Physician to his Mistress," and " Lines addressed t.) Poyais on leaving the Coast," %serf also handed- to the nitness, who, after looking, said, in answer to a spetrion from the Learned Counsel, " I have seen three before; I believe they were In circulation in Edinburgh in 1622, for the purpose of inducing persons to settle in Poyats." • • The flank notes of the Portia Bank were printed at Edin burgh for one dollar each.---I cannot swear how many were sent 9M-1 think not 70,000. My . husineakwas• to make sales laidin Poyais ; there trite a great many made, and money was rtTeiied fur them. Several hundred .pounds had passed to the plaiMiff, but t think not thousand. I don't recollect baying heard Nl`Gregor 'say he *ould have a theatre there; thire might have bees some joke between myself and,Pickin, who was Urder Secretary or Clerk to - Sir Gregor's Secretary; and who understood aqd wasiond °Utile Drama. Mr. Pickin went out in the Kinnersley Castle is :clerk in the Civil De partment, at 601. per annum. ' He was tender Governor Halt.— ' rece - ved some of the homieri of the Governmeot, and was prompted to be a Knight of the Green Cross,. Those who re ceived honours wore greed coats, with buttons, on which were engraved '• G." and acrown. I do not know of the plaintiff having any license from his' iKest'y to become the Sovereign of another country: .

The settlers , for the most part, left the shots In July 1923. Some were suffering, some not. Thera bad been a mutiny amongst them. I know some of the settlers went to notational, thence came to England. . Crossetamined.-1 went to Honduran before I came to England; I was in the Storekeeper General's Departntlnt; I came bark, becadse all . the stores had been removed by order of Colonel Hill; 1 was the last hitt two who came , from Honduras; there are none left at Poyais; 1 was ill myself of the ague and fever, and several others ; I found the remains of the chief town ; there were two h ti.tscs left, belonging to two American Gentlemen, made of bamboo. Mr. &lonelier. who was to manage the banking concern, is now in America ; I was not attracted by the songs ; I only saw one; I am now eighteen; I was before in a grocer's shop in Glasgow. Reexamined-1 saw some of the provisions afterwards at Belize, in the cellar of Marshall Bennett, Esq. one of the Honduras Company. They were taken in Mr. Bennett's schooner, by order of Col. Hall, There were a fe.. walls remaining in the ancient town, and plenty of bricks to build new houses. Mr. SCARLITT, for the defence, stated to the Jury that he had no knowledge of Mr. Mac Gregor, or by whatever title he went ; and he bad no motive for offering any die. paragement of him ; in candour be nould say, that he rather believed him to be a wild adventurer, the most vivid imaginatinn, dazzled with the prospect of power and sovereignty. The Jury bad heard from hie land agent that he was engaged in Eilinborgh in selling land conveyed to Mac Gregor by a Dative Pr;nee of the Mo , qui.o Shore,but who that native Prince was, the court was ~ot informed. — But if the pleintiff,in uphohlinghis speculationchaddesc..nd. ed to artifices that he probably otherwise would net have been guilty of, and then chose to attack those who expos. ed them to prevent others being so deluded, be must take the consequences. How Mr. Mac Gregor became first con nected with this Poyais country he did net know, neither was it necessary to inquire ; but the dory would find him with an office at Edinburgh, sending a mined r of :bank clerks and secretaries, to this land dosing with milk and honey. He held in his hand abo .k written by Tiuintla Strangeways, K O.C. ; that was Knight of the Green Cro •, with a picture of the Cacique of Pay tis in front, and another representing a handsome town. The titles of the author were K. G. C. Captain of the first regi.nect of native Poyais Infantry. and Aid de-Camp to his Highness Mac Gregor. The oliject of the book was to mak , - it epee'. V at Mr. Strangoways being well acquainted, had beet en. abled to compose a work on its beauties, the fettilitiy of its soil, and salubrity of its climate. (Here the Learned Counsel r• ad several extracts of the toot id! .te,l des rip. tion from the book in goe.tion. But. resumed the Learned Counsel, what turned out to he the fact in this delightful region? This new government began when old old ones often ended—by distributing various siwcires; for there was a King without territory, a Cautsin wituout trovs, and clerks without offices. The thief • ity lia I tu.o houses in it; this was the territory hell out to S‘mtclitrieu as surpassing their land of heathen and prate. There were two justifications on the record :—ls'. All that the defendants were charged with publishing had been null' lished correctly ; and, My. that the facts voted had been truly stated ; anti surely a faithful representatialf before a Court of Justice, or before a Al agis•rate, could not he s alt. ject of an a. , tion for libel. lle did not tun, ta use that M'Oregor did not intend to compensate the. person, he hid deceived; and if the Jury should come to *a decision to give him damages, he trusted the lowest passible coin would designate their vase of the injury hi hail suataiurtl. T:te Learned tJounsel then called Mr. John Prince-1 ant a Common Councilman of the the City, and accompanied C ipt. Antrim on the 11th October to the Lord Mayoe. The Mornia: lierali of the 14th October was banded to the witness, si ho pointvd out various passages in the pn"graph complained of as having been stated by Cap!: Antrim and himself. 'Ol the following day Capt. Antrim called at in house, and said the article was correct; and 1 believe the whole to be eorrect. Cross examined by the Comm Ix StRGRANT stated by Capt. Antrim that the settlers wer e nin ny of them persons who had sexed from 201. to There might have I , been more state.; than appears in the paragraph. Mr. Hughes sworn--I was st the Mans' an If anti', with the last witness and Capt. A •Orim,ton the 14th 0 !ober, and saw the report in The lleraldof bat day, and t think it was a very correct one. It was statel that Sir OrrAtory bad taken the money of the t h ee ()Than children's parents, and oivea them notes nn the Poyats Hank for thr nt. Cross examined by Mr. Put.n.tnt-- I Clink the rep• rt is very crlrrect. Mr. Prince, on seriag it the day alter we were at the Mansion Muse, sail he was surprised at its bring so correct. Ann Baxter sworn—l am a widow. 1 ['cramp-allied my bnsband, in January last, in the Kinner•lev Castle, to Papas; and we took oar six children With nay husband and two of the children are dead; they died there; toy husband • was a mason in Scotland; he Wight land in Povais, and paid 111. for it at the office in Klinhurgle. There was no land for us when we got to Poyais; we were ten weeks iu getting to the ark Inver; we found nothing but hushes and stars; there were no white i nine bitants ; nothing but the pale moon ; we a!l fell sick as soon as we got out, and no on was there to give us a drink of water. My husband an I children died at 111. - of the agne an.l fever. There were 150 went out in the Kinnersley Castle, and above 10 I dim, there. Mr. Nash sworn--1 was introduced to Sir Gregor by a fiend. I was at first his secretary. but I chiefly looked for • eornetey of lancers. Sir Gregor asked tue to *rite lines ad dressed to Po)ais, whlsh ho had printed and circulated. There was also some poetry eltitled •"ra, Pasais Emigrant," written by my sister.—They were priam es ballads. and hawked through the streets to attract t..e uttontion of the vul gar. The greater part If Strange%ray's wqrk teas written by 111'Gregor. I gave the sheets to the printer's buy.

Edward Law confirmed the testimony of the other witnesses lfor the defence, and said he expected i te see from the representatiOns made, public buildings and a handsome town. The case for the defence being concluded, The COI/lOW' SERUSA!4T replied; awl His Lordship, in-putting the case to the Jury, observed, that the defendants had put two justifications on the record, lit, that the report was true and correct, and 21.1, that the facts stated were truly stated. The Jury would; have to consider, whether the first plea, as his Lordship thought it was, was not tree: if they so believed on that part, they must find for the defendants ; he thought the act of fraud respecting the Portia notes had not been proved ; and therefore if the Jury thought' with him on that point, they would find for the plaintiff on that part of the case. The Jury almost immediately returned a verdict for the defendants on the Ist plea ; and a verdict for tbe . plaintilr, damages le., on nhe second plea. • -•- • •'' Sir Gregor Mac Gregor was in court during the whole I trial.. . , flow STaanT.—Yrstei day a fbiirge.of a sine ni ar native was made against a min of truth -manly exterior. named Richardson. for. defrauding a Frenchman. named John Daimon!, 91900 Laura, and also of.stealitag two skies; hi property.—Rens tatirti. STATESMAN POLICE. ItTaxstoN flovsg.--Yetierriat " Little 'Waddington," applied, to . the lead Mayor for •a warrent.or s naeinons, compelling or commanding Snow, the- constable, to ap-• pear.thece to answer a most serious charge.--:The appli• cation was made in so serious a manner, that the 1, ,, rd Nlay.er " lent his ear" to Mr. Wadelingtost's charge *Oil extraordinary grsvity. It turne I out that Waddingt , en has been employed by a Mr. Poole, a coal merchant, infoim the people of this metropolis where they can get coals cheap, and had consequently marshalled a `et of • standard or pole bearers to bear these glad tidings to every part. Snow, the constable had turned two of these men off the Gaut path, and Mr. Waddington came for ard su der justice done to these loitered mln, and to protect the liberty of the subject, which hail been outraged in their persons. Mr. Nobler pointed oat to Mr. Waddington thug these men had eerie sobjected themselves to a penalty of 5/ under Mr. Taylor's Act, _but Waddington knew the law better than Mr. llobler, and persisted iu hi. complailtet. —The towel Mayor. however, dismissed it, telling him he could indict Mr. Snow, and that the piece where the offerer was committed was not in the Mansion ‘use district. AIIRYLSBONE OFPICE.—A man genteelly dressed, was charged with a frau I. It was sworn that he had ordered -hirits from ‘lr..lohnsfon, in Regent street, to the amount of nearly 21., and desire I change fur a 101, note to he sent' with it. Ile took the change,from the p after, Ant did not give him any note, and while lie was in the kitchen, the trisoner left the house. On being apprehended he delt 7 'ed the charge ; but the fact being sworn to, he was committed for trial. WOROIIP Scatter.—Sarah Johnston, ah tut 11 years of are, an apprentice from the paid' of St. Clement's Danes, was brought up yesterday upon a second examination, before Mr. BENNETT and . Mr. Twerono, cb aged with having wilfully • and tualitiously endeavoured to set her eraster's !loose on lire. Richard Mosely, of Brenan'sld'nge, Bethnal Green, tailor.stated, that the prisoner has been his apprentice for the last ten months; that he received from the p trials as a fee, 21. ISs. ; that she had repeatedly during the time she had lived with him. substituted filthy waver insdeadl of elesp,.for 'leakiest and other uses, and, when taxed for so alit:tiled she did it on purpose ; that on Isst Mon. day week, about eight o'clock in the morning. a piece of timber was on the tire drr.ominated "a Christmas Lag ," when she.teking adeantageof his andber mistress's absentee, conveyed the leg off the fire,, sod placed it under the 'vales, where theie were lying some shavings and coals lie providentally returned to his house about the time, and the smoke and smell excited his attention, when be haul it im mediately subdued; and noon discovering the cause. aslisd the chill why she pot the fire there? she replied, • she placed it there for the purpose of setting fire to the house. tie then brought her to the Vestry Clerk of St. Clednent's Danes, and she there acknon b.dged again she did it for the purpose of setting the 1101130 on fire; and that she ' was advised to do so by a Mrs. Street, who lived in the neighbourhood, and who provided her with slum lags for that purpose. Mr. and Mrs. Street, upon hearing of this accusation, immediately applied to e pariah and hart the young delinquent taken up sad brought before Mrs. Street * a respectable lacking woman (about the middle age) stepped KJ* tile witnesses hos, and, certainly under very agitsted feelings. confronted her youthfil, but dlangerons accuser. The girl then buret into tears, and confessed that Mrs. Street never gave her any such al vice, hut hewing cominitted the act she did not know what apo logy to make. Under such circumstances the Magistrates said they could not insist upon her master taising her hack ; and Mrs. Street ohs •rvd d that if she returned 'to tile neighbourhood. site and her family would certainly quit it, not considering herself safe where the was. Mr. BaNSIETV, however, in looking forward for a retain in use coodnet, said at bre tender age, she seas nit to he altsndont-d, and ordered her to the care of a pariah °dicer until another master could be obtained.
