1 LAIV INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING 's BENCH, JUNE 27. 1.1 B EL. rut KING V. FRANCIS ATKINS, EcCI. This was an Indictment for R Libel upon the Pro. Vico tor, contained in a letter, and a notice posted up in a public coffee-room. Mr. GARROW, for the prosecution, stated, that the Prosecutor, Mr. Ddap. was a young gentleman, and an officer of the 'First Dragoon Guards, to which regiment the D..fendant also formerly belonged.-- That in the year ISO, the regiment was quartered.l at Lewes, and the Defendant had been put into. Coventry by his brother officers for some miscon duct, but by the kind interference of the Prosecutor he was again introduced to his mess; when one day, after dinner, the conversation turned on the subject of Russia, upon which occasion a dispute arose, and the Defendant conducted himself so improperly, es to call for the interference of the Prosecutor, and the former was again dismissed the mess, and again put into Coventry. The next flay he sent a most ex traordinary challenge to the Prosecutor. As he could not procure any one for a second, lie pro- I posed that they should meet alone, measure five paces, and turn back to back ; that one of them should count to the number fire, then turn round and fire, in short, that they should try which should murder the other. The Prosecutor consulted his broth( r Officers upon this, and they agreed that the proposition was wholly inadmissible, and an answer was sent accordingly. The Defendant soon after quitted the regiment ; hut in about twelve months after, sent another proposition to fight, which the Officers of the regiment theugAt equally inadmissible, and it was accordingly rejected. The Defendant, however, continuing to persecute the Prosecutor, he was at last obliged to have him bound over to keep the peace; in consequence of which, the Defendant thought proper to post the libel in question, at Ib betson's lintel ; Stephen's, the Prince of Wales, the York, and other coffee-houses in the metropolis, which was to this effect : " lieut. James H. Delap, of the Ist Regiment of Dragoon Guards, ha% ing, under various pretences,.in three instances, evaded giving in , . Cie Fa; isfact ion of a Gentleman, in refusing to give me warrant:it le mlress for an unwarrantable insult, and having t•inee held me to hail in 4 01. and two sure•ies in '2OOl. each, 10 ! i c e ' ) the pearl , for 111 mouths—l thus proclaim him a scont.drel and a coward." A copy of this notice was also enclosed to the Proiecntor himself, in a letter from the Defendant, directed to the Officer commanding at Basingstoke, where the Prosecutor was then quartered. A waiter from Ibbetqon's Hotel proved,' that the Defendant had posted one of those papers in the public Coffee-room, which was soon after wards tal:•u (lona by 1 Gentleman who observed it. The Prosce,:tor then produced the copy sent to lf, and proved both to be the hand-n citing of the Defend tilt. Upon Lis cross-examination by Mr. MAttRYATT, for the Defendant, he said, the disputa arise In the mess-room, which ended in a blow ; ; iven ! , v the v.it vess to !)e P4entlant. The Lesroed Counsel was then ptoceediug to examine him, 4S to the contents of several lei ters which had passed between them, but were not pwlnced in eviflence, when, Lord Er.t.t:nottoutat thought this nottli have no tearing ott the question before the Court. And Mr. M Anita Ail' declining to enter into an v defence et present, but iniirunting that he should reserve these letters, and his observations upon them, until the Defendant should be brought up for judgment. The July, under the direction of his Lordship, found the Defendant—Guilty. THE 1C ;SG V. THL "UV. ritANcts LEE. eloquence, not unfrequently mixed with a clear and acuteressoniug: The declaration setforth with stating, that his .premises were broken into and taken posses sion of, his fences destroyed, and much valuable pro perty detained, to his manifest injury, and to the deJ struction of his future prospects in life. Mr. C. then wentun to state, that he held the wharf, v.here the Wary *as done, of the Crawl Junction Canal Coma ' patty, having purchased Messrs. Roper's right to it, i in the month of November, 1804 , for 1000 guineas. That there was a verbal promise of renewal of the term for which ho held, which expired on the 21th of June, 1808, but that instead of obtaining that renewal, Messrs. Pickfords, the great carriers, ap plied for the wharf, obtained it, and the Defendant, Wright, who was then chief clt‘rk, immediately, on the ¶2sth of June, began to break into the premises, and with the assistance of a vast number of men, succeeded in turning him out, and also his son and s:nvants l his holies, carts, waggons, reservittg only the property on the premises, which he esti- . mated at about 3000 guineas. Were it not, he stated, for the preservation of his books of ,accounts, which gave him the opportunity of recovering some debts, and also from an accidental circumstance which de- ! volved some property on him, he must inevitably have been ruined. Happy was he that the laws of England afforded an adequate remedy for a manifold wrong. Ile received notice to quit on the 2d July, before the 9th July next. This, he contended, in law meant the 9th of July in the ensuing year. Hav- i ing addressed himself in a very forcible manner to the feelings of the Jury, he concluded with pro ceeding to his proof. ; Ile called William Colliver, one of his men, who proved what he had stated as to the trespass, °Oak.; I log forcible possession. His son, Thomas Cove, qftirmcd similar wrongs, and stated that Mr. Sale, Solicitor to the Company, on the 25th of Jane, came to the Wharf, aad enquired why his father was not removing ? Wright was present, and said he was come to take possession of ,the place. Several men , removed his father's direction board. Mr. Sale sa'.dl to them, if Cove obstructed them, they must .quiet I him. On his cross-examination, 'he IW - silted' that the term which Roper held expired on the 21th June, ' 1808, and that Mi. Sale, on the 25t1t l told him his time was expired. Several other witnesses were called,-but their tes timony carried the case do farther. Mr. Serjeant LENS submitted, that the Plaintiff must be called, as he had proved by his own son that 1 he was a trespasser. The Cum , JUSTICE was of the same opinion, and ordered the Plaintiff to he.called. The Crier made the usual PrOclamation—" Au gustus Cove, come forth, or you will lose your suit at Nisi Prins." • Mr. Cove instantly started up, and standing on his seat, exclaimed—" Ilere I am, I do appear; why do you say I don't appear?" Mr. Serjeant LENS observed, that Mr. Cove seem ed rather to wish to have the Jury's verdict for the Cie. This Defendant was indicted for an assault upon the person of the Ilon. George Blaquiere, on the 21th January, NW. It will be recoiled, that nearly two years since ; the Prosecutor was cast in an action of Grids. Con.' with the Defendant's wife, fen' which judgment was I entered up, and the Prosecutor suffered twelve months' imprisonment in execution thereof. Thkcir- ° cutnstances of the present case, were intimately con nected with that transaction. On the •24th of Ja unary, the Defendant having been then separated from his wife a considerable time, and suspecting that the Prosecutor was a party to her connubial inficle,l lily, accompanied Ly; two or three Bow-street Offi-' cers, attended in Wimpole-street, in the o e ntog, for the purpose of having, Major Blaquiere's. person ; identified, proparatory - to his action of Ctint.-Con.l 'rue Prosecutor was seen to go from itis'own house, in Beaumont-street, to Mrs. LAPP'S home, in \Vim pole-street, where* he remained from six till eleven in the evening, and returned from thence to the street. The Prosecutor, who had been %latched in the same manner the night before, began to_recennoitre the persons -he saw standing in the• street, eiu4, after valking up and down the :street several times, he, crossed over the way to Lee, , ,whoni he liUtrby this time recognised, to ask him •whether he was vt Itching him. lie had just uttered' two or three . v.ith that clew, when tle.Defonaant struck bim hisen.ibly to the ground; with what :he thought, from its sr ;ere etllTts, to be a large bluclgran, which otcasioned his being placed %ardor the hands, of the burgeon fur three weeks. Mr. GAUItOW, on held( of, the Defendant, deli vered an eloquent appeal to the.Jnry, and produced the testimOny Ist the Bow-street {Ytticers, who . had attended Mr. Lee,aud they declared positively, that the et-eat:pen Mr. Lee carried 1% as but a common Stalking stick. They did not see the blow struck; nor did they see Illajor Blaquiere raise his hand in a threat euing-attitude, but they heard.-him say, " What do you want, you scoundrel ?"..Or'" fkounarci." Lord Er.r.canottouott summed up the evidence with suitable obiervations, and' the Jury found the Defendant N,eGuil&. court* 'The Jury accordingly returned a verdict, finding for the Defendant.

The Loan Carer BAZON, on addressing thefurers in these prosecutions, expressed great sar4action observing, that offences of this and other descrip tions of fraud, particularly as affecting the middling and lower classes of society, were brought before the public, and the-aggressors so justly exposed to the severities of the law. His Lordship here also adverted to prosecutions which had lately been be fore furors in that (Court, where landlords hart been convicted in penalties for refusing to allow their teuants in inferior situations of life, to deduct the property tax from their rent, and observed thittpro secutions of this nature were highly cretlitoble to the Officers of the Crown.
