1 I ! I * well attack every man who goes to Court ; we will prevail on his servants to cheat him ; his tradesmen to plunder him ; why, even here, the feeling could not be half so base, as that which your Lordships see called on to punish this day. The Defendants here said, we will go where malice takes refuge and seeks its envenomed shafts : and then we will sully forth and speed them at the moat virtuous living, or the most worihy dead. This is the confessed view of the Defendant.. Two of them enjoy the fruits of this vette its scandal,and the third is intimately concerned welt them. I know in this case your Lordships will feel it a duty to the public to take cure that the sentence shall operate to prevent persons who lend their aid to such atrocities from sheltering themselves under the plea of no malice, of not being the author of the Libel, and therefore making an endeavour to avoid all punishment. The author, yen may depend, is all this time behind the cur. fain, and will of course pay whatever fine your Lordships may inflict on those who served his in terests and his passions. The punishment, how ever, would be incomplete if another merely paid: ea, the object of punishment on these Defendants is, not only that the author should, for the future, find nobody to assist him, but that those who did etiould he made to suffer for it in their own persons. I shall now ray no more. But few occusions have arisen in me in which I was called on to press fur a severity of judgment; nor should I do so now, if I were not satisfied that the deepest naaligniy lay at the bottom of this disgraceful transaction." The SOLICITOR-GENERAL- 6 ' In the case anti& ed to by my Learned Friend, an affelavit was pro. (need after the verdict, which was said to contain an apology, but it 'appeared that it was really worse than the original libel." Mr. SCARLETT—" It is very fortunate for my Learned Friend's clients, that they have acted on Ass discretion, and that they are not noes placed iu a similar situation." The Court delibersted for some time, when Mie. Justice BAYLEY pronounced the judgment of the Court as follows :—" R. T. Weaver, T. Ar rowsmith, and W. Shackell, you are now called up to receive judgment, after being found guilty of a libel, and that on the character of a deceased Lady, In any case, to make a newspaper the vehicle of pliviate attack is most reprehensible ; but when it is so made on the character of one who is dead, acid on that point so deeply affecting her honour, it is the bitterest pang that con be inflicted on her surviving friends. Two of you state your ignorance an the nature of the paragraph at the time of its insertion ; and it would have been but prudent on the part of the other, if, when seeing it, he had remonstrated with the editor, or had held some rtinumanication respecting it with the proprietors. It wtsuld'bree been wise if he had preserved the manuscript, so that, in case of necessity, the real inatlior might have been come at and punished if he deserved it. The editor gave us no information, neither was he given up, on the application of the I:laintiffe, to ascertain the author of the libel. '[he affidavits alluded to the general system of managing the paper; but nothing was said in them, why no subsequent search was made for the manu eeitpt, after the application of Mr. Harmer. It sans most incorrect that the 'manuscript should be a , estroyed, because it prevented further inquiry I'nni throwing any light upon the subject. The offidavits proceeded to say, that a new edition was published with the exceptionable paragraph ex punged, but he Jinni(' have been much more swished if that were done without any application from another quarter. No man who felt for the interest of society could tolerate such newspapers as dealt in private slander ; it was even far worse in this case, for the attack was made on one who was voile to answer for what she might have dune, and tliey might allow her ashes to have slept in peace.— The Court cloth therefore order and adjudge that . sou, R. T. IVeaver, do pay to the King a fine of ene hundred pounds; that you, T. Arrowsmith and W. Shackell, pay smirch u fine of five hundred pounds ; that reels and all of you be kept in the custody of the Marshal of the Marshlike'', for the apace of nine month.; that you then find two secu rities each in the aunt of two hundred and fifty pounds; that you enter into your own personal re cognizance., in the sum of five hundred pounds. to keep the peace for five years; and that you be fur l'rer imprisoned until the same fines be paid sad tecogi.izances entered into." CHESTER ELECTION. THE KING V. THE MAYOR OF CHESTER. The Defendant, John Wallisms, Esq. late Mayor of Chester, was brought up for judgment, in come quence of his conviction at the Assizes of Chester, cl acting corruptly in the performance of his duty as Mayor, during the lust contested election. It ap pawed that during the last election, in which the candidates were Lord Belgrave and General Gros venor on the one side, aud Mess's. Egerton and Townshend ou the other, the friends of the latter Candidate applied to make forty-four freemen ; that the Mayor, notwithstanding the usage to the con trary at Chester, refused to comply with this requi sition. said that he should not make any freedoms at either aide. awl that lie acted by the advice of tic Town Clerk, Mr. Finchet, who happened to be the attorney for the Grosvenor family. It also appeared that, to avoid importunities, her (the Ali.iym) had secreted himself in the house of a Mr. Herrman' ; amid released, at the requisition of sonic of the parties, to call a Court of Aldermen, to consider the conduct he ought to pursue. It fur ther appeared that the refusal had given an undue advantage, and in fact the return, at the election, to the Grosvenor interest. Mr. Justice fluff, and afterwards Mr. Justice HOLROYD, read the notes of the trial. The Defendant put in an affidavit, setting forth he had been elected Mayor of Chester in the year lain. Not being a man of professional knowledge, and being solely engaged in his own trade, he de termined early to be guided by the advice of the 'Town Clerk in all matters of • professional nature, ssliila he remained in office. The election for Mem bers to serve in Parliament for Chester took place ia March 180. and at the opening the Defendant did nut expect a great severity of polling in the contest; tine, however, did occur, contrary to his expectation., and the Sheriffs being the returning officer., and haring uo regular •ssessar, employed the Town Clerk in that office. During the heat of the election, all application was made to the De. tendant, as Mayor, to admit to their freedom several spplicauts he consulted Mr. Finchet, the Towu Clerk, who advised him at such u twit bot to trod , their admission, and feeling that advice to be ho nestly given, he abided by it, and equally refused admitting the applicants of each of the contesting candidates. He most solemnly denied being actu ated by any sinister motive in his refusal, and also solemnly denied that he had used the expressiotui imputed to him—of having said" we have done them nicely." Several other affidavits were put in, giving the Defendant an excellent cnuraeter ; and also one from Mr. Harrison, denying that he had heard the Defendant use the expression " we have done them nicely." Mr. SCARLETT rose on the part of the Defend ant, mid urged, that he had acted at least equitably between the parties, for he bad refused to make freemen at either side. It ass notorious that the Mayor bud acted under the advice (which he had every reason to believe was honest) of the Town Clerk, be (the Mayor) bring u man in business, and quite unacquainted, with professional 'slattern: besides, he begged to point out the great inconve nience which mu.t result from admitting men to their freedom during the heat of a contested eleo tion. They could recollect that much blame was imputed to the Mayor of Bristol for admitting freemen in the celebrated contest between the late Mr. Burke and Mr. Cruger-- Jurrice—" I think the objection at Bristol was, that persons claimed their freedom by virtue of marrying free women of Bristol after the election commenced. It did confer a privilege of freedom to marry a Bristol woman ; but then in that case the marriage took place during the elec tion." Mr. Scset.ere, in resuming, urged the difficulty in which the Mayor of Chester was placed in the heat of ■ contested election, stud submitted that his oiilv object was to steer impartially between all the parties in the contest. The Court would also bear in mind, that this was the first time the offence had been committed, nod that the declaration of the law would suffice on the occasion to prevent a repetition of such a breach of duty. The Defend ant, it should also be recollected, had already suf fered heavily in the expenses of the prosecution. He remembered when engaged with Mr. D4uncey. at a former Worcester election. that the Mayor did the same thing which had been done at Chester, and said he was advised by "Jack Phillips," a gen tletniti well known at the bur, to act so. He (Mr. Scarlett) at length compromised the matter, and the Mayor took The votes at each side. He had hoped ihst the party spirit of the election would have passed away with the time at which it origins• ted, and that a prosecution like the present would not have been instituted. The affidavits showed the estimation in which the Mayor was held by many of his respectable fallow-citizens; and his error was certainly a very venial one. and only at tributable to the peculiarity of his situation, in a moment requiring all the energies of a strong muffled man. Mr. POLARS briefly addressed the Court at the same side. Mr. PEARSON, also for the Defendant, submitted that the error of the Mayor was a very venial one. He might have had a predilection for the family of one set of candidates;—that bias was natural enough for a man whose faintly had raised themselves from the condition of humble life under the auspices of a family of rank who had for generations closely at tended to the welfare of Chester. He did not mean to say that feelings of gratitude should supersede the dictates of strict duty; but still the bias, if not arising from corrupt motives, was eutitled to some consideration. Mr. Jams rose in reply, and urged that the viola tion of duty on the part of the Mayor was clear and indisputable. Instead of taking the advice of the Recorder (Mr. Jones), who had arrived at Chester during; the election, he preferred attending to the suggestions of the Town Clerk, who was directly identified with one of the parties ; he had then se creted himself to avoid the importunities pressing upon him to disc:large his duty, and thereby adopted a course which directly changed the result of the election. For such misconduct, in a station of high li responsibility, he trusted that the Deletidant would he made rt•spousible. it was true that lie denied having received any indemnity; but he (Mr. Jervi.) hoped the Court would take care to inflict Upon him u punishment against which he could not obtain any indemnity, and in a place where he would be deprived of the indulgences he might receive at Chester. Mr. TAUNTON, Mr. WILLIAMS, sod Mr. CAMP. BELL severally said they were at the same side with Mr. Jervis, but they declined troubling the Court with any additional observations. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in pronouncing the judg ment of the Court upon the Defendant, said, that though he might not have been generally d in the prinriples of law, yet he must have been versed •in the usage of the town, which, he knew, was to admit such an application as lie had, fur an undue purpose, rejected. It was it:anon:int that the Court should punish officers tilling responsible duties at elec►iuus, and prevent an infringement of popular rights. The sentence of the Court, there fore, was, that he, John Williams. should pay to the King a fine of one thousand pounds, and he imprisoned in the King's Bench Prison for the apace of six calendar mouths ; and further until the said fine was paid. 111 4 I '' nig KING V. R. BLACOW, N.A. Mr. DENN•N i.rayrd the judginentof the Court ow tins Defendant, but owing to the haleness of the hour, bring near four o'clock, the case stood over until Moudsy. _ BAIL. In the Bail Court thisWoioing Mr. Jui.tice BEST committed s inuu to Negate fur a month, who, in coaling Up to justify as bail, was guilty of gross prevarication. LANCASHIRE COUNTY RATE. Mr. SC•aLkrT applied to the Costa fur a rim.- dames to be issued to the Justices of the Peace fur the county of Lancaster, commanding them, at the next general annual Ses.ions, to make in equal county rate. The Magistrates in question were di rected by Act of ParhamPot to make an equal county rate. This they had not done; and lie ap plied on the part of the inhabitants of Liverpool, to compel them to do so by the process of that Court. It appeared that, at the last annual Session * a re port was made by a Committee appoiuted by a for. mar Setsion, that t►e rates were not equal ; the rate imposed on the town of Liverpool being, larger than that on the town of Maachester, although the pro perty of the latter was oath greater. A resolution was proposed upon this report, to render the rates equal, but this was negatived by a majority, and the evil complained of remained unredressed. The Cuter JUSTICI said it was difficult fat the Court to take upon itself to say, that that was au unequal rate which the majority of the Magistrates had sanctioned, by negativing the report of their Committee. Mr. Sc ter in reply observed, that the Ma gistrates themselves had interests to which to look. They were bound by Act of Parliament to [mike an e qua l rate—which not alone the report of their own Committee, but the affidavits with which he was prepared, proved they had not done. The Cuter JUSTICE—" The power to make a fair and equal rate is vested by Act of Parliament in the Justice,. If they made no rate the Court can order them to make one ; but how can we say that that is an unequal rate which die majority of the Magistrates, having the report of their Committee before them, have ordered, believing, no doubt, that their Committee had been mistaken? There is the less reason for the interference of the Court in this case, however, as, by the .57th of Geo. 111. c. 93, any Person, parish, township, or place which shall think they are unequally assessed, have the power of ap pealing against such assessment ; and where it shall be proved that the rate is unequal, then such pro portion of the money paid as shall appear to be unfair, shall he repaid to the person, parish, town ship, or place so appealing."—Mandamus refused. POLICE. BOW-STREET. DUELLING. There have been more cares of duelling before the public lately than there have been fur some years past. On Satur day a ease of duelling came on to be investigated al this office of rather as extraordinary nature, as it was upon cross chat. lenges. the subject in dispute being in continuation from the 29th day of October last, between two most intimate friends and neighbours, and, as is generally the case when a difference arise. between friends, they became the most in accrete enemies. The parties are, Dr. Hume, who served in the Peninsula under the Duke of Wellington, and sow resides at Haim,ll, in Middlesex, a village about eight miles out of London, and Chatham Horace Churchill, a Lieu's.- nant.Colonel in the Grenadier Guards, who also resided at Haswell, Dear Dr. Hume. following are the circumstances which have taken place between the two Gentlemen since their unfortunate differences. Fo► some time past a misunderstanding arose between them, sad Doctor Hume wrote a very offensive letter to the Liestenast•Colonel, adding that he should re main at home for the day. This was about the end of Oc tober. The tendency of the letter was to provoke *message from Lieut.-Cot. Churchill. This letter was sent by * neigh butiring gentleman, a mutual friend of the parties, and re. etived by Lieut.-Col. Churchill ; instead of a message, how. ever, the sister of Colonel Churchill and the brother-sir-law repaired to Doctor Band, a Magistrate resident on the spot, and at their instanee and request Dr. Band bound Lieut.-Col. Churchill and Dr. Hume to keep the peace i■ their record lances of 51101. each. This business became the subject of general conversation in the village, and after a lapse of some time a gentleman, calling himself Sir Charles Smith, waited upon Doctor Hume on behalf of Lieutenant Colonel Churchhill, pro. posing a meeting at Glair, when the Doctor iaformad him that be had laid the case before the Duke of York. Sir Charles Smith applied again, it is supposed, at the instance of Lieutenant-Colonel Churchill, and next cause a letter from Lieutenant-Colonel Churchill himself to Dr. Hume, peremptorily demanding a satisfactory answer to else message delivered by Sir Charles Smith, and concluded in threatening language respecting Alta communication to the Commander-in. Chief. This letter was dated sas lately as the 19th instant. Dr. Home being advised that Lieutenant. Colonel Churchill had nrisconducted himself in this bust. ness, and that he, Doctor Hume, would nut be justified in accepting a challenge sent and delivered under such circumstanees, laid his case before Dr. Baud, the Ma gistrate, who bad bound the parties over, In the mean time, Lieutenant-Colonel Churchill having quitted Han well, and removed his residence from that neighbor/sr hood to Farm-street, Berkeley.square, a warrant wa s issued from Sow street, and the Lieutenant -Colonel was brought in comedy of Ellis, the constable, to the above office on Saturday evening, when he underwent an examine. Sion before George Rowland Minisbull, Ebq , when Dr. Hume attended and stated the above case, at the same time pro ducing the above letter received by the twopenny post, and which the Lient.-Colonel admitted to be his baud-writing. The Magistrate reed the letter, and, without Irwin its contents, pronounced it a direct forfeiture of the Lieut.- Colonel's recognisance. He therefore called upon him fur fresh bail, himself in 1,001)1. sad two sureties in 500/. each. One persons had come in the office with the Lieutenant- Colonel as his friend ; he stated his name to be Johnson, a linen-draper, living in Oxford . Mr. Juhnson not being known in the office, the Magistrate said, in so serious a ease, and where a forfeiture had been already incurred, be must proceed with csulion. Mr. J. was therefore required to give a reference to some person known in the seightsourbood, and the constable was seat to make the necessary inquiry, at the same time be took a !wee from the Lient..Culouel to an other friend. On the constable's return he made a favourable report of Mr. Johnson, and was at the same lime accompanied by the other friend sent for by the Lieutenant-Colonel; this person said he was Mr. Shipwash, mid described himself a purveyor of mineral waters, residing in Little Ryder-street, St. alalllCS'O. After undergoing the usual examination by the Magistrate, each swore they were worth 5001. afire all their debts were paid, and their securities were accordingly taken. The Lieutenasit•Culouel was then bound user in hu own recoguixauce of 1,0001. . A favourite horse, belonging to Mewirs.C. Smite° and Sou, of Sheffield, was shot 011 Tuesday week, on account of his being afflicted with hydrophobia to an alarming degree. This animal, about a month ago, had the misfortiloe to have his nose bitten by a dog that was tied up in the same stable with him at Steelton% in Lincolnshire. On Friday week, be was observed to have a very unsteady, or somewhat of a stag gering emotion as lie was in his harness, leading a little soil or sand from a short distance to Mr. STYILIIIIO . O house. The symptoms became progressively worse, and, as they conti nued to increase, the wretched animal threatened destruction to all that came within his reach; to ICIIIIIIIIIIIIC his suffer ings therefore was an act of compassion. It may be proper to remark that the practice of tying lip dogs tn a stable with horses is liable to great übjections. Such as belong to tn. yellers meet with a vast variety of their own species as they pm through the country, and are therefore more liable to be Selected with the disease thsu dugs that are stationary. A shocking accident happened ou Tuesday at the house of Mr. MLLLISH, u gentleman farmer, near ilaslemere, Surrey. Mr. Mau.tsit and a friend had been shooting, and after returning home placed their loaded guns near the fire to dry, they being in a damp state, when one of the guns fell on the floor, went off, and lodged its charge in the knee of Mr. MaLtasu's nephew, • fine youth of 14. hleclicall aid was procured as soon as possible, when, in order to preserve We, it was deemed pro per to amputate the kg. 'the young gentleman lies in a precarious state. FATAL ACCIDIIN7'. AND DITRAORDINART PRESERVATION. In consequence of the high Rood on lifondsy last, seven men, in the employ of Mr. Finch, at the Mustard Mill at Staines, got into • boat to go to their respective homes to dinner. Unfortunately one of the o was a aew.cumer to the mill, and had that morning been paying his footing, or treating his new acquaintances with beer, which rendered theta more wanton than prudent; for though the part they had uccasion to go over was •at more time leg-deep, they by some playfulnness got into the Mill-stream, where the rapidity of the current upset the boat, and precipitated the seven men into • depth of ten feet, by which tecident four were drowned. The other three would have inevitably perished, but for the intrepidity of • man who witnessed the catastrophe. This person, who had formerly been • sailor, evinced the true spirit of a British tar on this unhappy ar tesian :—having • rope fastened round the middle, he plunged to the bottom of the river, whence he brought up, one after the tither, three out of the seven men, who arc by him, under Divine Providence, restored to their fatuities and friends.— The scene on the edge of the water, upon the accident being known, was truly ►e•rt.rending. The families of the unfor tunate men rushed to the spot, and it was with. great difficulty that the wife of one of them could be prevented throning herself into the water, to share the fate of her husband.— The names of those lost ate—Thomas Fenner, William Warder, Robert Childs, and William Black, We hear • subscription is set on foot to reward the person that rescued Ike survivors from a watery grave. SMUGGLIA G. Yesterday oennight three men, with two carts laden with contraband spirits, were proceeding through the villAge of Bareumbe, in Sussex, o• their way towards the Ucklield road, when they were accidentally met by an Excise officer, uta horseback, who, judging by their appearance what they were, ordered them to stop; bid, instead of obeying, they drove oil at full gallop. The lane being very narrow and dirty, the chase was • pretty smart one for the distance of three or four miles, the officer t iding, pistol in band, and threatening their lives if they did not gaup attil surrender. The smug glers, however, were not to be intimidated, anti paid no at tention to the summons. The officer, at length, finding it im possible to effect their capture, made • compromise with them for the giving up of two tubs ; be the• left them, and lost •u time in communicating the affair to the Lewes offi cers, who, five or six in number, went directly in pursuit, well armed and mounted, but without being able to come up with the smugglers. ANOTHER MONSTER. An extraordinary ruffian, whose feeling and propensities are wholly inexplicsble, has lately been loiteriug about Mount Verson and Edge-kill, at the close of the evening, and has several times attacked unprotected and defenceless women in a most brutal manner. Oue female servant he knocked down, and barbarously ill-treated, and another he pursued till she fell, and hurl herself so severely, that she is still coalisxd. What is most extiaordieary, be makes no at tempt to rob any of the persons thus otrangly assoulted,—. (Liverpool Paper.) MUKDEM A murder has been perpetrated at Kinsale, in 'lreland The name of the unfortunate man was David Stinky, and be we. the victim of an illicit Intercourse between his own wife and a t named Leary, who lived with them. The villain called the unfortunate man out of the house at a hue bone, on some pretext, and while he stood unsuspectingly, fired a shot from a market loaded with a ball and three slugs, which entered at his back, and passed out through his right breast. During Monday his body was concealed in as itut.house, and the wife fabricated a story that he had been shot by a party of nneittrinit marauders in search of fire arms. A Coroner's Jury having returned a verdict against Leary and his mistress, they were takes into custody, when the suntan confessed that her linsbais4 had beer. murdered by Leary, bat denied being privy to his atrocious design. DREADFUL SUICIDE. A melancholy circumstance took place at the Greyhound Inn, Newmarket, last week. Two youug gentlemen, E. M., Esq. mid his brother, arrived at the abase house from Cam bridge, and spent the day there. Between seven and eight o'clock in the evening they prepared to return; the waiter brought iu their box-costa, when the younger gentleman de sired him to be careful bow he handled them, as they con tained loaded pistols. The man put the coats down and re tired, wiser, the gentleman who had giren the caution took the pistols from the pockets of the coats and laid them 1,41 the table. Mr. 111. then requested him brother to see if the gig was ready, he bad scarcely retired fur the purpose when he was alarmed by the report of fire-arms. He instantly rata ' back, and on entering the room found his unfortunate bro ther stretched on the floor, a corpse! On examining the body it was found that the hall had en tered the cheek, mud passed into the head. Both candles were extinguished. An Inquest has been held on the body, and a WI rf el of Iwseaitg was returned. The uuforiunate geutleman appeared about twenty_lwo years of age, was highly respected, anJ allied to a family of the first respectability and property. The cause of the me lancholy catastrophe is said to have been a love affair. c.4urioN TO COLLIERS. A fatal strident occurred at the irolverhampton Colliery on Wednesday seek Wm. Ball, a miner, we% desreading an ironstone pit in a skip, when, after having been lowered only a few yards., the whimsey by some means turned. and he was drawn up again with great rapidity. Upon coming In the mouth of the pit, he jumped from the ►kip and clung with his hand. to the pit frame, to save himself from being drawn over the pulley; bet either the ship, or the tackling chains by uhiels it WAS fastened, (might he■ leg, and drew them tip wish it. After remaining a few seconds with his heels uppermost, his feet became disentangled, sod be was then compelled to let go his bold of the pit frame, fell headlong dawn the shaft, a depth of nearly eighty yards, sod wee instantaneously killed. Au inquest has been held npun the body of the deceased before Plenty Smith, Eaq. Curons r, and it appears by the evideuce, that the engineer, William Dunning, whose ditty it was to watch the descent of the skip, bad quilted his post to supply the boiler with slack, during which tune the accident happened. The Jury Rommel a verdict of Maislar,Ates against Dunning, and be has been committed to gaol. On the29th ult. the ship Lark, of South Shields, JAMES ACM/STRONG muster, from St. Juln.'s New foundland, bound fur Leith, with a cargo of tim ber, sprung a leak iii 57 degrees nom. latitude ; the crew, thirteen in number, with five passengers, ►emained upon the rigging eight eiys, during *hid) four men died. They at length, in consiqtience sit the vessel making no way, had reziiiirse to the long boat, and werconly able to secures few potatoes, with a yowl; pointer dog; they remained six days at sea, during which two men died ; the crew and passengeis survived three days on the dog. Their provisions being at length about expended they kept one of the corpses in the boat, when providentially the sloop Sea Gall, of Lerwick, picked them tin about thirty miles west of Saliburgli Head, Shetland (being nine of the crew and three passengers sur vivors), and brought them safe to Tobermurry, Isle of Mull. It is much feared that some of them will requite to have their limbs amputated, being swollen and discoloured in • shocking manner. ‘V hen the crew and passengers left the ship she was quite entire, and in ■ll probability she will come ashore on the west side of the coast of Ireland.
