Three witnesses were called, who sustained the preceding statement. Mr. ANIMISM addressed the Jury for the De- Ifendant, whom he staled to be a rispeetoble mar. ket-gardener. residiog at Pulliam, quite unknown to all the parties. but who, siding by, observed what he considered all act of cruelty and tyranny by the Prosecutor, who was greatly an overmatch for the little boy with whom he was in contest. He desired the bigger boy to detii.t, end on his re. fusel. he merely give hits • box on die ear. and reword the lesser boy from the peril he was M.— He (Mr. Andrews) would nut say that this conduct might not to law be cousidered as au @moult. but it was an assault under such circumstances that pro bably not site of the twelve men whom he had the honour to address (more particularly if they were fathers themselves) bus what would have been guilty of the like. Henry Porter (tbe little boy whom the Defend• ant had rescued) was then called as a witness, sworn, and examined. He swore positively to the blow which the Defendant had given the Prosecu tor, being only a slop on the face with the open hand. and that was after the Prosecutor bad kicked sit &sod struck Mr. Smith. The CililltliAtt summed up the evidence, sod the Jury, after a short consultation, found the De fendant Geihy; but the Foreman added, that they considered Mr. Smith to have acted from a humane motive.

Thu Defendant addressed the Jury, sod mid he hoped if there was soy gentleman in the box who was in any office under the Government or in the parish, he would withdraw. Not *toy of the Jury coming under the descrip tine ~f persons nlrjectell to by the Defendant Mr. RsvisoLos proceeded ()II the part of the prosecution to address to the Jiffy a statement of the case. The Defendant had published a paper, which tended to defame and degrade the character of his Itoy.l Highness the Commander in Chief; and although the libel was drawn up in the form of questions, that could not make any ddfrrence in the nature of the publication. Lt was daring the time that an important parliamentary inquiry was going 0/4, that the Defendant, on the 91st Angus.. lass, was seen amongst a multitude of parson. as, sembled in St. James's-square, distributing Irons or bag which lie had round his neck a cunsidevalite quantity of the publication now complained of, lie was watched, and when he had gut a little way out of the crowd was laid bold of and taken to Bow-street. The Learned Counsel here read the publication in question. It was in the form of a baud-hill, and headed— " THE DUKE OP YORK ;" sod swieurpt oilier questions cootaitied she fullowiar, via.— " Why, except fur hire, is the Duke of York bummed ?

" Is it because be took 10,000 L a year fur visiting his sick father ? or, is it bemuse he takes 30,0001. a year of the patine osprey as Cumnsauder.M.Cliief." The Learned Counsel concluded with pronounc ing ao eloquent ealogium on the character of his Royal Highness as Cottunander-in-Chief of the army. and calling upon the Jury by their verdict to coovirree the Defeudaut that it was no excuse for him to say, when he had been scattering firebrands, • that he ought not to be punished, becaufe l forsooth, he did not make triens. George Durrell, entrained by Mr. BOLLAVD.— He was in St. James's-square on the 31st Aogost last.

Furzeouto, examined by Mr. Ku OLDS.— He is an officer belonging to Bow -street. and was in St. Jaineet-equare on the 31st of August last, and raw the Defendant with • bag round his neck, distributing bills. The lest witness &hewed him some bil!• which he had received from tl e Defend ant. He took the Defendant op to Bow -street. He watched him out of the mob before he took him. It was a few minutes after Mr. Mills had been taken up. Checks Norris sworn.—He corroborated the ac count given by the two last energies. Francis Dighton, Private Secretary to the Duke of York, proved that his Royal Highness was Com mander-in-Chief. Mr. REY NOLI3I—" That is my case."

One placard was beaded " Proposal to murder the Queen," and contained animadversions on a passage which appeared in 714 e Morning Post ; soother was headed, " rival of the wretches," and announced the arrival - at Dover of the Italian witnesses sgainst thal Questa, and their treatment there:. The rest of the bills which lie had been employed to post were of a similar character, rod the Defendant affirmed that his real offence was the posting those and for which the present prosecution was in stituted against him. He denied that the hill in (portion was a libel, and went through an examine nun of each question separately, to chew that there was nothiog of a libellous nature in any of them. He contended also, that if the subject matter of the bill were punishable, the printer whose name was to it ought to have been called upon to answer it. and nut he who was a servant employed and re ceiving wage* fur it. In the course of his defence, the Defewlaut referred tumid gave copious extracts from the Parliamentary Debates during the in. piny into the conduct of the Duke of York. Mr. Rex siotos rose to reply.
