LAW INTRLLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Weimer's law, TIIIRRSDAY. NAY $4. The Lord Chancellor came into Court at bale. past ten o'clock. [iii 'mu 01 WCSTUCATH a. Tug COUNTS= OF WEsTIIIATH. Mr. Houma said be was requested to ask his Lordship for his jurlgareist in dna case. • • The Loao CRANCRLI.OI.`" Let it be put in the paper for Tuesday fleet. This is one of that class of cases in which I had hoped it would not be necessary to ask for judgment." Mr. BLAIR, Counsel for the Countess orNest swath, stated, that the Earl of Westmeath had in stituted a suit in the Ecclesiastical Count Ihr the restitution of conjugal rights. Mr. Houma said, that the itstement of his Learned Friend was correct ; it was a fact that he did not wish to keep beck from his Lordship. The Loao CHANCIILLOR—" This will create a new difficulty if the deed of separation between the noble parties does not go far enough to enjoin each a suit in she Ecclesiastical Court. I am aware there was a rase in which Lord Bathurst went the leogth of granting an injunction to restrain such * suit in the Ecclesiastical. Court. I will give you ,any judgment on Tuesday next." COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Werrissarna, TISORSDAY, MAT H. THE RING c. CARTWRIGHT AND OTHERS. or- The LORD Cniair Janice read the opinion of the Court on the application made last Term • for a new trial, on two grallsOla : the refuse' of the b Awd Chirf.Baroir, isholried she cause, to allow of „es eliallenge to the stray, and aa' har refusal to allow of • challenge to the poll. His Lordship entered at considerable kiwi% into the retrains en which the opinion of the Court was founded, and quoted • great member of authorities, con cluding, by stating it to be the unanimous opinion • of the Court, that challenge to the array could ant be taken at fsisi Pei*, out the ground of the an indifferency of the officer of the Court nominating a Special Jury; but, if it were granted that the am. could be rhea challenged, the Court did not .:think: that any of the •objections taken in this case would be sufficient ground for such challenge. To the objection that the Master had selected, the names of the Pannel. it might be said that he had done no mote than what was ( loos i n all oilier cases where there never was any reference to chance. ' and it would be absurd to suppose the object of the Act of Parliament, which' was to obtain a Jury , of superior information to a Xinnmon Jury, could' be attained by any other . epode than by 'tontine 'lion. The second objection was, that the officer had• taken those persons against whose names Esquire" was fixed, or those of a higher degree, and it had been attempted to throw some ridicule open it, by stating that it was the constable who made the Esquire; but the list of the Special Jury was fixed on the church doors, and it was to he supposed that the additions were given by which the parties were moat commonly known. If the constable had given any additions not do served, he had done nothing against the preemie Defendauts, the gist of their complaint being that they were not tried by person. of cog. mon degree. There was no doubt 'the officer had the power of nomination, and from the affi. davit of the Maker in the present case. there could be as little doubt that he had duly exercised it without any bias or partiality. Another grouud of objection was, that the officer bad named some persons to be on the Panne! who were in the corer. mission of the peace, and u this we, said to be a political prosecution, and that was sin office held at the pleasure of the Crown, such persona could sot be impartial. His Lordship said he knew net exactly what was meant by a political prose. cutiosr; this was a prosecution 'for a high m* demeanor. The office of Justice of the Peace, though appointed by the Creoles was not office of profit. It had been the constant prat. tire to retorts such persona on the Panne!, and no clan who wished well to his country would desire to tee them as a class excluded. The next ob jectitio was the refusal of the Master to strike off the names of those persons who had served on the Grand Jury. The Master had afterwards struck them off. It was impossible to support any par tiality on the pert of the officer, and oo prejudice w haievee had resulted to the parties. The last ground eY challerge to the array was the unindtflerency of the Sheriff, as manifested by his omitting to summon one of the Special Jury. mimed Peach. But them could be no ground to charge the Sheriff with par.. tisility, as the person was actually summoned by the Under-Sheriff. though iii a slovenly manner. The last ground for a new trial was, the refusal of, the Lord Chief Barou to allow of a challenge tab the poll. It was not proposed to prove that any of the Jury had expressed any opinion to the pre.. judice of the Defendants, but it was wished to ex. tract that fact by questions to be put to the Jury. men. This the Lord Chief Baron refused to al. low, aid in the opinion of the Court he was right in his refusal. In confirmation of which his Lord. ship read extracts front Serjeant Hawkins, Fitzher. bert, and others. Upon the whole matter, the Court were unanimously of opinion that the rule Nisi most be discharged. The Defendants, it Wail intimated, would be brought up to receive judgment co Wednesday next. THE ZING N. JOHN HUNT. The ATTORN ItIr• GEN ERAL prayed the judgment of the Court OH this Defendant; but the Lord Chief Just►ce, before whom the Defendant was tried, not him.% his notes ill Court, it was ordered to stand user. THE ZINO V. THOMAS JOHN EVANS. The Defeintaut, who was proprietor of The Manchester tlbser•er, was convicted ut the last Lai.caster Alaizes fur publishing • Itbel on the Government. and on the King's troops. The July found him guilty. The libel complained of was certain torn:tures and observations oil a tumult which had taken place et • public-11011"e et Ohl between a party of the military and the voutispeopl , , in cinch it was alleged the later were very ill-tre4ted. 11,14, Jaistice 13EsT having read the report of the tryt—' Mr. WittLiAsu rale 10 I■llVe M arrest of judg. ... .r• 114% 1 went, oa account of variance between the alleged libel, as set forth on the record. and the paper pro- , duced. " Deemed" was in the record, instead of, w sullisns" instead of " ruffians t" in short, of all the six counts of which the indict ment consisted. there were but two, the third sad the sixth, which were free from she objection of variance. road those counts, he contended. contained no charge of libel on which the judgment could be sustained. The Learned Counsel argued the point at considerable length with his usuol in genuity. The ATIVIIISIT.GIINCRAL was content to ask for _judgment on the thiid and .ixth counts. The Cala? JUSTICI intimated that the Court at present thought those counts free from variance, and from all other objections, in which opinion the rest of the Court concurred. The Defendant's affidavit was then put in and reed, staling, that he had received the account which he had published from the sufferers in the effigy, and that by this and other prosecutions he wies seduced to great pecuniary distress. Thomas Biggs, John Hall, and others, weavers, rconfirmed that statement. Mr. WILLIAMS then aildressrd the Court on be -1 half of the Defendant in mitigation of punishment. 1 He was precluded, he said, from a variety of topics u•essilly urged; be could not, for the thousandth tints, dwell on the distress of the wife and children of his client, for it so happened that it was only Mr. Evans's own tole that was in question. He was farther abridged and curtailed by the iisstruc ' lion of his cliesit,'wso would not practise the tune of whining hypocrisly,le common whet' judgment was is' be pronounced. He could 1101 even pledge him self fur him, that if be were again to hear a similar account, and be 'satisfied of the truth of it, that he would write any thing more temperate, more mea sured, and more out of the line of libel, than the paper now complained of. It could not, he thought, be said, that the press was not sufficiently *open's tended, so tl.at all idea of clanger from the indis creet warmth of writers was fully guarded against. It was controlled by the supervision of Parliament, of his Learned Fnend the Attorney-General, and by a self-appointed, self-constituted, irresponsible junto °incrust's-whom no one knew, lie concluded by quoting the opinion of ■ celebrated writer, who thought that punishments, though well calculated to repress occasional disorders, did but aggravate habitual dascontents, The ATTOINmr-GINIAAL bliefly addressed the Court in aggravation of punishment. Mr. Scsitt.sui now ruse rod moved the jodg• mesit of the Court on she mine Defendant fur a libel on rite late Dr. Cultist., of Bury, in Lancashire. An affidavit of the Defendant wag read, which stated his having offered so make every apology and reparation in his power. Mr. WILLI tms addressed the Court in mitigo. tion of intuishment. The sentence or the Court was—fur the first of. fever, the Defendant to be imprisoned in the Castle of Lancaster for one year ; and at the ex. 'Motion of that time to he further imprisoned for the second offence for six mouths, and to enter into recogniz.inees for his gond behaviour for three years, himself in 4001., snd two sureties in 2001. each.

When O'Keefe brought out his comedy of Wild Oats, the actors, if they knew their own interest, would strain every nerve in artier that the play might pass. The piece, however, tinged as it is with the tendency to farce incident to the genius of it, author, has stamina enough to live without pam pering. It is an apology for the life arm actor, Dud is better than that of George Aim Bellamy, and almost as amusing and sprightly as that of Colley Cibher, which is saying something. Not that the work of the vivacious hero of the Ustacitad has not other and higher merits; but they are foreign to the comparison. O'Keefe ha*, in his comedy, done fur the players what Cumberland tried to do for the Jews. Whether the better success of the former is owing to the greater ability of the write►, or to Ow greater truth of the character, may be a matter of dispute. The public seems to incline to the latter opinion. Rorer retains his popularity. whilst Shevo is forgotten. The " credat Jethro:" seems, in this instance, to have taken complete po•sessioe► of " the many-headed monster," as somebo•ly has courteously designated the people. I, for my part, have always bees attached above men sure to the stage, and interested in every thing connected with► ii. Whet is more satisfactory those, of whom I have had reason, through life, to think the brat, have been so ton. There is no need fur shaine in confessing that some of " the greenest spots on memory's waste" owe, with me, their l►ne to the theatre. Those who have studied the human mind, or even attended to the nature of their own preceptioin, will allow that some of our strongest impressions are produced by the power of fiction. My recol lection of the feelings with which I first read Cha rism does not yield in intensity to any remembrance of those arising nut of real event.. My imagination cannot, to tilts hour, recur to Ilan book without an unrray and miserable sensation, which one would almost suppose to he akin to the hypochondriacal. That this holds equally with pleartnit recollections, is equally supposable. With me, the drama has been most prolific •d• happy associations. I find I have decidedly preferred the company and conver sation of those who thought of it like myself, and have, for the most part, unconsciously. perhaps, assoeiated with such. They, who meet at a theatre are, nitre times out of ten. in the state of mind most likely to render such meetings agreeable. 'Floe lobby is a sort of carer-house for the " Liters hansamiores," born which wrangling polite* are excluded, and where the presence of beauty is set ata iotrurion. The fate of the children of Thespis has been perversely hard. Whilst many an institution—of an origin none of the most respectable—is applaud ed, and its ministers holioured ; she servants of the drams, which, both ancient and modern, arose (" mark it, Caeserio.") out of religious ceremonies, are vilified and calumniated. In what sort of esti mation the eticieeit actors were held, may be a diffiw cult matter to settle. Luberius was deprived of his equestrian rank for appearing on the stage, to which he was compelled by Caesar ; and from some passages of Juvenal, it would seem to be quite evident, that in his time, the Roman se tarp, excepting perhaps the very highest, were held in that kind of contempt, to which those eon- Peeled with public amitseinents appear to be more or less liable. In 'Madero Italy, they are very lightly held. In France, the church refuses the last rites to the body of the "profane stage-player;" be. sides charitably insinuating the probability of his soul being, its the phrase of hottest but implacable Captain Cruse. " five fathom by the line in burn ing brimstone." lii England. they are, as it were, out of the peal of the law, arid punishable as vs gehapt'. ; unless, indeed, they happen to be " his Majesty's servants"--which alters the case. Against usage like this, it would require a most superabun. dant abundance of good character to bear up; nor is it to be wondered at, that the whole body has beet' bent down under the weight of touch illiberal and much al.solitte ly unfounded prejudice. Ido not wish to mince the mutter either way. It is slot my intention to deny, that the condition of an actor tenders him peculiarly liable to certain vices. But I would just veto ure to hint, that these vices are of • kind peculiarly obnoxious to those "wise in their generation," called prudent people ; who , in coo sequence, more prudently than charitably, keep at too great • distance to find out his virtues.— When I hear the wearers of the sock and buskin ruu down by wholesale, remote as they are from those to whom the observation applies. it always puts me in mind of poor Burns's assertion of his often having fiend in the class culled " blackguard'," honour. honesty, benevolence, " and even mo desty." lie certainly would not scruple to make the search; and on a matter of this sort, I would take his word for a thousand pounds. .Thete are those who would have affected to think the disco very quite as surprising, had he professed to have made it in the green-room. To such it is really • hardly worth while to reply. I have been told, that I am not to estimate the character of the profession from those eminent per foment who have risen to its head. They who told me so, forgot to advert to the circumstance of many of those very Ladies and Gentlemen having risen from the lower ranks of that profession, where they must have acquired, or at least preserved. those virtues, for which they are now esteemed. It is not, however, from the metropolitan performer, that I form my estimate of the lives of uctors. The provincial town in which I have passed the greater part of my life affords sufficiently ample, and, pro bably, fairer materiuls. It may sound a little ill-omened, to begiu by saying, that moon' were, a few years ego, more re spectable than now—l should have said more re spected, for that is what 1 mean. The friends of the drama metro a variety of cauees for this. Sonic will lay it upon the late dinners and routs—some upon the hard times—some upon the increased pestle of the middle ranks—atid some upon the Methodists. For my part, I !my it upon them all together. Theatres have declined in many ways; tool, according to the way of the world, actors have declined with their circumstances. Neither plays nor players are like what they were. An exotic loon the hot-bed of Loudon may rasinetimes drew a crowd of spectator", and a thunder of applause— but the taste itself is less iutense.
