F IF P At of tile prime oitee! Ile had au apnoea! metiass--elt, No! his ohjer t oast practically to sopprirt this truly Britialt privilege, as nett as to defend his character from the attar!. of libeller.' Dow ! why, by taking nutria, care that they should not he Permitted to prove the truth of their statements! But slot, fore du Ikea talk about the liberty of the press •19 /kV refer to this malarial blaster, which is the grand reeineetive of the Constitution, that without it would soon sigh into .treat' and death? Why, simply for the purpose .1 taking this noble ground of defence out of the month of lire Defenduate, awl by placing it in that of the dignified Prosecutor, buten the Jury to imagine that his motives neve not personal, that he did not intend to piori,h the De feo/Jame fur having hurt his feelings by communirating in. 1 , threw* cumeeloiag unpalatable tenths. No, only lustsseement, to those who chum to believe it, was of a phi loitheopie and patrintle nature. He wished to 'appal t the pallorlieva uS &High freedom in ills notable way. His (Mr. A.'s) Lrarued Friend hod told the Jury In what the liberty of the peers 4t4 net consist—That it was not privately calm unapt, impasiterial, cruel, or malignant. lie granted it, nod he would gladly limit It still more, by telling hie Leased Priead that it was not servile, sycophantic, fawn. tog, cringing, and always saying pleasstrable things. This otet at liberty would do very well for those Asiatic depot ions about which its Learned Friend had au eloquently t.lk. ed, and to which be intended to go should be lose this trial (1. 7 the way, Imo wished him • pleating journey), but it would spat Jo for a free Government, where truths, however unpa latable, must be fairly and fully told. For the possession of this glorious privilege, many personal sacrifices must be node, and ma wen ought to be ready to endure any little eiaresinees or trilling incoseenieace the poblies lion of truth may pollen., as it is necessary for the ge neral good and the prosperity of the State. Had bide. vidualu nothing said of them but what was civil and ohligiag, why, whet would the difference cousist in between essrsolves and the future residence of his Lear.. •d Friend,: the pleasant despotism's of Asia?—Writers are iillowed there to say as many civil and obliging things WA they please, sad, is fact, he knew of as tyrant prohibit ing at any period the liberty of praising him to the skies; it was absurd therifure to talk about the liberty of the press in a prosecute's instituted fur the express purpose of pssmb ing wlsa imagine they poetess, d it. The Hill brought fertilised by the istimatal Foe gave the Jury the power of deciding upon heals the law mod the fact of libel, but pro. 'nosily to Ito roisterer. the Jury was limited to deride only :spelt the twit of libel. The Judge could may state hie apinioa, and it was well it was so, as Judges, from their dig. tithed stations, could net enter so completely into the feel ings and motives of the Defendants as the Jury, who, from residing iu the same county, hail an infinitely better chance of knowing the intentions of the parties. Every thing, therefore, in this rause, as well as in all others of a similar nature, would dope's.* opine the circumstances. His Learned Friend had offered bins the choireuf two alternatives—either to allow that his clients were actuated by malignancy or a de. tire of gain. Now, this was really absurd. What Malignancy rwrld they entertain against a Nobleman who was neither politically our personally known to them ! The last wittiest %had mind that the Marquis dismissed several of his small tenants fur the good of the country; why, we. there any thing malignant in slating that feet? Truly, if be Lad come in during his Leaned Friend's harangue, he should have theinght some illustrious professor of political economy, some le legislative science, " bolding high converse" with Adam Smith, Arthur Young, and Parson Malthus, stood before hint, arrayed in all the brilliancy of the intellectual and the. profuudity of the ineotopreheuel ble. For bis part, be (Mr. Alderson), believed every word bis Learned Friend bad said—he believed that it was better for the country to. bare large farms than small saes--hr be. Breed that the Noble Marquis acted from the purest benevo lence in ejecting his tenants (although one of then did hap pen to die by being lovut out); and surely if it was suck a ' bold and alieetimiatesaa, the Defradaats ought not to be punished for acquainting the world with it. If it was sup • purled by such great -authorities es Malthus, Smith, and Yueug, and was a proof of thi •• purest benevolence" on the , part of the Noble .Marquis, although Messrs. Jollie might happen to differ from him, why be was right and they were wrong. But surely when they simply and truly stated the facts, declining to comment upon them, the world, which in . political esoconty is guided by the illustrious writers referred to, would praise rather thou blame him fur this theritalite sestina ; and it would be madness to find the Defeadasta guilty fur exalting the character of the Illustrious and Noble J'ruseettior. Whet if the Marquis not permit deem • beg gars," as his Leaned Pared had called them, who had been all their files lemmas .on his estates, and were wedded to the soil, to die where they had lived; what if they did . die nu being forcibly spread front the homes of their GSM fathers, surely' every mat why is at all acquainted with the philanihnipic principle of the anti-populating liefithos, must have Itutiwo that it was an act sir extreme Igimosity to save the poor wretches from the misery, folly, sad Mee they would have beep subjected to had they castigated to live in their little hurries. It was wily such ignorant indi.

That atone (sir. Aide rson coutended) was the fair and proper construction to be pot upon the language, after divesting it of the tinsel of eloquence and the Sewers Of poesy. Diet as there was al/ count charging the Defendants with libelling the egrets, lie trusted the Jury would insane. diately give a verdict of acquittal.—Geetlemesi, said the Learned Counsel, in a straits of impassioned eloquence, if you Lad a dear, a bosom friend, a friend whose existruce was at. 111041 identified with your own, a friend who land cherish. il, il. lighted, andemsobled you, would yoe,for the sakeof • INN, word, said at an iincuardeil time, for an iiitcoppeftlitlnte• pression, the offspring of nvonteotety thoughtlessness, would you visit that friend with the severest sentence 111111 tisk heaviest punishment: or rather would you out kindly forgive him, and, ice the Impinge of geode reproof, teach hint to 111' snore circumspect in his conduct ?

They would, he was sere, coasts's the language of the alleged libel candidly, charitably, astik , kindly; nod as there was every reason to believe that it ma/ 1 leered to the acts of the agents rather than to those of this Noble Marquis, they would acquit the Defendants of soy ale leniion to libel the latter. As to thee last paragraph relating to the " grime being more compassionate diem man," aVomild 110 i refer ter the dignified Prosecutor, man Wing a gooseig term which t be applied individually. But, supposing it could, still the reference mast be to 114 improper and coif conduct of the agents and not to the Marquis, unless ha Is supposed to be the representative of the whole species. TIM Mal poinage looted from Goldsmith's Traveller was not at ail a to the case—it had nothing to du with the subject ;., solely to the faction, which distracted England, mil M lbws lodividisals who having obtained fortunes in ladle, trotiottort ioakusated by pillaging the eisfortmiate end belp-• losatioliablearito, minnoed home so lord it as petty and over., hoariest end naprincipled tyrants.

Should it be wrung, at 111, it could only have been admitted through inadvertence, so through a wish to dared the chanieters his Leaned Friend hod spoke of so lightly, bet of which he thought as lightly, tnamall farmers cad leaded proprietors of Cumberland. were the Statesaies of the county, and the doctrine of • *Mewing small farms sad convert lug them into large sues, bore as the Defeadants 'were in this county with their &el ls's, their peradietkomand he would say, their prejudiegu outiast such a system, it is natural they should sirimitg =Say ibirig which militated against their neigh associates, and countrymen.

His Lordship his Add. as to the Jury, by oh serving that the, ts suffered nothing by their oust basing bees artodulso by Mr. Alderson; that no Coossel at the Bar etrold prattity have said more few them ; thed his elospieem was • post and perfect, that every 'whist that could be said hod been mid, and yet nothing was said that ought to have been omitted. He then read the indict , meat, and explained its nature—there were two questions for the Jury's considerctioa ; Ist. Was it IWOIrd that the words referred to the Nobly Marquis ? sod 2.11 y, If so, were they libellous ? If they thought the libel applied dose to his spots without the Marquis being at all referred to in any way, they would acquit the Defendants ; but he walla read it to them : his Lordship the read the libel—said • the Marquis mentioned must mega the Marquis of Queens berry, and also by the generic term man, it was evident he lila alluded to. Now, by Mr. Fox's Bill, the principles of Liphkeii were opposed by many learned and high authorities Ain it was framed, thee Jury were empowered to &fermis*, 0 voimellyr it was a libel or nut ; his business was merely to state the law to them, and give them his directions. If ' they believed the paper calculated to vilify the Marquis io any N way, or to induce perms. to 'hark he hail acted improperly, ig was • libel. His Lordship sulogised the liberty of the press, but mid it had limits which mast scot be overstepped ; us writer had a right to trench upon private character, ear to NI himself up as a censor. as the Courts of Justice, where both parties may meet, and at the same moment decide the glint or innocence of either, were the only legal tribmsala of stab Miff.

Not the Courts of Judicature, but a self-elected tribunal--Hieniselves.— England, he hoped, would never submit to suck tribunals. It was impossible to ray skis was not a libel, or that the Defendants did rot mean to impute great criminality to the Noble Marquis. They had no right to say the sesame were turned out, and obliged to take shelter is Anew; their mating that a tenant died in consequence, implied ereelty on the putt of the Marquis, which was completely proved by saying man was more cruel than the grave evi. firstly meaning by mast the Marquis. The lines quoted from Goldsmith, and the picture of desolation contained in them, were clearly inserted to cause • belief that such hor rors had been produced by the Noble Marquis. His Lord ship would be greatly mistaken if the Jury did not call this intemperate dieenssion ; if they did they must give • vet , diet of guilty. He was glad that proprietors of Newspa pers were subjected to prosecution instead of the actual writer,; fur, if - they would make themselves masers of others, let them take care of themselves—no itiadveneacy should excuse them. Arc the character's of ludo/1411mls to lea sported with in this way) His Lordship colicluded by statiog, they had Wily two petitions to consider:-Ist, does this paper apply to the Marquis of Queensberry ?-2.11v. does it it impute cruel or improper conduct to him? Au answer in the affirmative would be a verdict of guilty. The Joey retired for about half au hour, and returned a verdict of LOWRY. GENT. o. HOLME. This ease excited very-great attention in this citx from its been immediately cointected with the proceedings at the late election for a Representative in Parliament. and also from misty individuals beteg more or less involved in its remelt. It was MS action brought by Mr. Richard Lowry, a solicitor of this place, against Mr. John Hollow, clerk is the twilling house of Messrs. Graham and CO. to recover from Moot 11w sou/ of lOW. which had beets deposited by the Plaintiff, to gather with a like sum of 1051. by Mr. Bowes and others, to Defendant's hands as stakeholder in a wager, to he de termined by the success of Mr. James or Sir Philip Mus grave. Mr. COuIaRNAT addressed the Jury for the Plaintiff, and in the course of his speech observed, that his client brought this action simply as • legal preceding to recover the amouut from the stakeholder, why had paid it over to the winnow party after bar ing notice 4l upon him to the contrary. Were the court, Mr. Courtenay uhsera, d, a tn•. humidor bowie rather thin, of law, be should have thought it necessary to explain his client's motives for his conduct ; 14111 wring that was n 414 the case, he should confine himself to legal principles, mod upon those principles it was certain the PhinstilY was eutillvd to recover. lit the Case of Allen r H , the law was clearly laid down by Lord Mansfield, that a wager un the event of Ike election of Mem bers of Parliament is void, inasmuch ma it is calenlated to excite an undue bias in the minds of the *feelers, sobver sive of the frtedom of election, stud detrimental to the principles of the British Coustitualuu. To prime his case he called Mr. George Robinson, who deposed that two days before the comaseerement of the last election lie was at the King's Arms law, iu Carlisle, in company with Plaintiff sod Mr. Bowes—that a eager was agreed upon between them respect ing the Inca-est of the different esudidatts. M. ALDEMON, on the part of the Defendant, interrupted the direct exa tttttt atiun of this witness by asking whether the minutes of the wager were 'edam d to writing; and nu the witasss replying in the affirmative, the Judge ref --Ned to per mit soy mideoce to be given upon the contents of the militates, on the legal maxim that oral testimusty shall nut be received wheat wittleti proof is in existence. On the examination being resumed witness said he went with the Plaintiff and Mr. Bowes to Messrs. Graham and Co.'s hank ; 2101. was deposited with the Drfentlaut ; did out knew by whim provided, but thought by the Plaintiff and Mr. Bowes, in equal proportioris ; not sine of that. Mr. Juba Lowry deposed, that he was brother to the Plain tiff; that by the direction of his brother, on the day before the electioe terminated, he served • notice cos the Defendant (which was put in) not to pay over the motley; that lie like muse orally communicated the nature of his notice, and said shot Plaintiff would indemnify him if he would return hint his 1051.; that the Di leant!! tensed, sepsis he was placed in an arrk•ard situation. On this witness's cross-examination by Mr. ALomotwX, he admitted that on the day he gave the notice there was Slut the least doubt of Mr. James being returned. ileum observed the Learned Counsel, it is • ((ideal that if the poll had been different, Lowry would bate acted otherwise, mud taken the money if lie had won it. The Judge here said, that in the absence of the paper. stating the terms of the wager, be eJold out know fur what purpose the money was deposited; and as no erotica for mu duciug it had Inca d on the Defetidant, be should out permit oral evidence, Mr. Wm. Best was !ben called—deposed that he wag Plaint'Ws clerk i that he served Defeo(taut Ist* a notice nut to pay over the money, but to return ii.-1111is Judge in teirupted the examivatiou, to constnuessee of the next ques tion leading to the astute of the wager.] Mr. Robert Norman deposed that be was pleural when Defeadaut said that he had received t)lt on accutiut of a wager between Plaintiff and Bowes, and that he afterwards said lie had received a notice from P:aintilf Nat to pay his share over.—[lbis *Ham was interrupted on the sante pound as the last.] The Judge nusisaited the Plaintiff fur want of legal evi dence in not prochociug the avenues' of wager, Or Insirmg served s notice for its production. This decision elicited a buzz of approbation in the Court, particularly when his Lordship stated, that he was not sorry at the decision, ivasmuck as it world he a proper lesson to those who were iu the habit of illegally betting money on the issue of (molested elections. CRIMINAL COURT. John Bell, of Carlisle, labourer, was indicted for 'detain a bar of iron front Joseph Hetherington, of Brampton; he ►ad confessed his crime on his examination before Thomas Rarnshly, EN. a Magistrate of Ilse latter place, as the clerk pro►ed : the examnsat• was put in and read. The I'►usecutor prated the non In be his, and called two blink ,ant is, wi u had trees, w the habit of buying old iron, at n=peuec per bar, from such ehacartrrs as the Prisoner. They uric severely reprimanded by the Judge, who ex pressed his wish that they might mute severely punished, and refused to allow them th• it expenses. As it appeared that the indicinieut cliaiged the Prisoner with a common law larceny, Then it ought to have (lured biro with felony, bar Lordship dimetesl the Jury to acquit hint, which they did; and, on his congratulating the Prisoner on his escape, his Lordship called upon him to prove his gratitude to the laws that hail saved biro, by preferring a charge against the hlack.miths who hash bought iwu of biru„ as they were greater rogues than himself.
