COURT OF Middlesex Sittings before the Lord Ode .1 'mike and Sim else Juries. THE NINO O. THOMAS DOLBY. This was en indictment against the defendant for pub fishing a libel with intent to bring into contempt and' disgrace the King, the Constitution, the Government,' and the Laws of the Kingdom. The Shelton, underlie out in the indictment was contained in a work, entitled, " A Political Dictionary, or, Pocket Companion, chiefly designed fur the use of Members of Parliament, Whig% Tories, Loyalists, Magistrates, Clergymen, Half-pay. Officers, Worshipful Aldermen, and Reviewers, being nal Illustration and Commentary ea all Words, Phrases, and Proper Names in the Vocabulary of Corruption." indictment was preferred at the distance of the " Con' etitutional Association." Mr. GURNEY and Mr. TINDAL were for the prosecu tion, and Mr. ScaltueTT and Mr. J. Jiratte for the de fence. It will be recollected, that at the Sittings after Hilary Teem, this case was called on fur trial by a Special Jury; that on that occasion only two Special Jurymen were in attendance—that a tales was prayed by the Cormsel for the prosecution that the array of the tale* panel was challenged for unindifferency in the Sheriffs, one of whom was r Member of the Constitutional Asso ciation—that the trial went off upon the finding of the triers, and that in consequence of the absence of the Co roners of Middlesex (whose presence was requisite to summon a tales de cireimetemtibue). new.Jary . p_ 'was directed to them by Rale of Conn Ice Eider Tank In pursuance of this Rale, a new Special Jury was WV mooed, and the Coroners had also, by letter, convened a number of talesmen, in expectation that a tales de eireumaantibus might on the, present occasion he prayed. When the trial was now,called on, nine Special Arl in. n only appeared, and d tales being prayed on tbg part of the Crown, Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. EVANS took two objections to jury process; first, that the Coroner, ought to have summoned a deoem tales, in order to fill up the number . of twelve (two jurymen having formerly appeared), con: forniably to tiie practice in cases where continuances, as in this case, had been mitered on the record i and se cond, that the tales now prayed, ought to be a tales de circemstaatibms, and not a tales previously summoned beforehand by Coroners. They argued both these points upon principle. As to the first, they insisted that the Court could take no notice (as nothing appearldnit the record upon the *abject), that the jurors whir 'for merly appeared were special jurymen ; but the fact of their app r being stated upoo the record, impoint of regularity thercought to have been ten other jurors summoned to supply the twelve, and not twelve new juro:s, unless the two who had appeared had in the mean time died, or were prevented from again attend ing. Then, as to the second, the tales low prayed should be a tales de cireumstantibia. list is, persons chosen on the spot, and not such as had been previously brought together by letter of the Coroners. It was of the utmost importance to the administration of justice, that the proper forms should be observed. in them clash. and without imputing any improper motive is theito- Toners,. they insisted that it was irregn.lat for tip* by ' previous arrangetnent, to summon persons in the evils • tation that a tales would be prayed. . • Mr. GURNEY and Mr. TINDAL answered the first oh. • jection, by referring to the terinoof the role of Court, which required the Coroners to summon twelve new jurors, and insisted, that if any o bj ec ti o n co u ld b e tak e s a the proceeding, the time was gone by, for it ought to. - have been urged before the rule was drawn apt rod% to the second, they contended, that the convenient and proper administration of justice required that the Coro- • ners should be prepared with a tales previously sum moned. in the event of its brig prayed, bit in pi prieciple nothing was so inconsistent with the ministration ofjustice, as to summon by-standers upon the Jary, who might be partisans on one side or the other, in the matter at issue. The Cuter JUSTICE was clearly of opinion against both objections, for the reasons urged on die part of the Crown, bat said, that the defendant might have the lientlit of them hereafter, if they should be thought available. • The case was then ordered to proceed. One of the Special Jurymen in attendance having been summoned by a wrong christian name, it was thought better in point of regularity, that be should not serve, and therm tore it was mutually agreed that lie should withdraw front the box. The Jury was then sworn, being cows posed of eight special aid four talesuirn, summoned ape. (jelly by letter for this trial by the Coroners, Meseta Stirling and !Junin, who were now in attendance upon the Court. Mr. TINDAL opened the indictment; and Mr. GURNIT stated the case for the prosecution, which iie prefaced by observing. that this was an indictment found by a Grand Jury for the County of Middlesex, against the defendant, for a seditious libel contained in the book which he held in his band, which, if it was not seditious, lie did not know of any publication. however gr.ss, which deserved that character. The Leiria Counsel then proceeded to point out to the attention of the Jury, the libellous passages which had been selected from the " political Dictionary," for prosecution, amongst which were the following ; " COMMON LAN ;—Judge Law ; the terra ineogeita of Lawyers, any tliiog the Judge pleases; for example, the lining of Mr. Davison three ti m es in t h e m id st of hie defence, or Mr. Thistlewood for publishing Thistle. word's Trial. Mein. Chief Justice Pemberton used to hoaat he had made more law (common law) in his timer than the King and both Houses of Parliament. Some of the present Judges appear inclined t o f o ll ow hi s ex amide. " CONSTITUTION ('in CHURCH and STATE; Religion without piety, Law without reason, Representatives without constituents, Aristocracy without talents, a King iiitliout authority, and a People without soh sisteoce." " SPEZCII.—A few insipid, ungrammatical substances recited by him to his Parliament, and for which Hum receives a million a year; usually announc ing ji.st sod nee e y wars, the improvement of the re venue, the flourishing state of commerce and agriculture, a seditious and blasphemous people, all which is seldom perceived by Huai and his Ministers. Mem. As the Royal Speech grows every year more short and Inane, it may be presumed that in time it will go entirely out of fashion, and Parliament be assembled and prorogued ,without such an unmeaning formality. The people would not regret the loss of Hum's speech, provided the mil lion a year remained in their pockets." al lETING or PARLIAMENT.—A sign of molt ominous import, portending famine, dungeons, banishment. and slavery. In other words, assembling one thousand in oividuals from all parts of the empir e, . under ;Next of devising measures for the nation a l benefit, but in real .ity to an„ intent public miseries, or procure for them selves or relatives, a larger share of public spoil." PARLIAMENT.—An empty soni.d, a hoax, an impos ture. Furmerly the word implied wisdom, integrity, and liberty; a check upon arbitrary power, the bulwark of popular freedom; now it means the sanctuary of error, prejudice, and venality ; a cloak fur Ministerial turpitude; a passive instrument of Royalcaprice, and of -660 dished lity." " ST. STEPHEN'S CHAPEL—Said to be a hottest of ill lame in Westminster, frequented chiefly by eight brawl• quacks, and other suspicious and * disrepntable cha taicte. a." l'ri TheSC were the pifecipal Passages se tad fur prues -ration, and the Learned Counsel, in reciting them to the Jury, commented open their obvious tendency to bring the King, the Constitution, theHo men', and the law% of the kingdom, into hatred and eenterapt. If such libels were tolerated, the liberty of the press would be a curse to the country. Even that liberty (to which there was no warmer lucid than himself) would sink under such licentiousness. Without the restraiota the kir, it would become ao intolerable salience; and, to use the language of &celebrated Judge, " If the press could gain a victory over the law, it fluid gain a vic tory over itself; Kit could conquer the law, it never could survive the victory. Like Sampson's last victory over the Philistines, the cooqueror and the c•orperel would perish." Horatio Ortbn, a clerk in the employment of the Con stitutional Association, proved, that be purchased !be t work in question of the defendant himself, at his shit,. No. 299. Strand.

He purchased it by the directiouivalf the Committee, as their servant Mr. Murray was alp! of the Committee. He was the attorney—the sell* for he meant.

Whost' he bought the book in question of the defendant, the latter asked Is in if he bad not sees him in Bridge street ? And witness replied that he might have moo him in Chenpside. The defendant wished to have a good deal of conversation, but 'meat him short, and leg the shop as Wan as be bought the book. Witness did nut know the intention of the Committee in having the book pur chased. The libellous passages in the publication were then read in evidence, and the case for the prosecution closed. Mr. Scartherr then proceeded to address the Jury Os behalf of the defendant, and, in as able and eloquent appeal to their judgateot, contended that, although they had beard a good deal of comtooe-place epos the cha racter and tendency of the alleged Ithel, this was sot a case which deserved ,be epithet. which bad been ap plied to it by his Learned Friend. HAIM Work in .dieted was of such an abominable isuilAtascious ten dency as bad been represented on the east of the prose cution, it was surprising that his. Majesty's Attorney- General should have let it repose so:Long upon the shelves of the defendant ; at least, it was difficult to as sign an adequate reams why the protectional-the King, the Constitution, and the : Laws of the country, should be coosignedto the superintendence of such persons as•• Mr. Assistant Honorary Secretary Murray, sod Mr. Or ton. It mast be taken for granted, that the Learned At torsey4leseral,aud toy other torso, of common sense, • could very easily select frees aNeist every work fist ever came from the press, peerages which Wert be con stetted into a libel; but did it follow Seem thewoe, that the writer was to be understood to iateod ell the min chief which the ingenuity of a Learned Counsel might • attach ' • be - • the Psalms of David, might ..inin range of pro seentioo. The whole of " Culliver's Travels' was a satire upon the institutions of society ; but did it there fore follow that Dean Swift intended to destroy those institutions? la Lord Chesterfield's " Letters to his Son" were to be found, perhaps, some of the several censures upon the vices of Monarchy ; and was it thence to he inferred that that noble courtier intended to sale. vert all monarchies, still less the Kingly tioveroweot of this realm ? And in the Psalms of David—the Criss; songs which form part of the service of the Church : some of the most bitter sarcasms upon Kings were to bo found, and yet nobody ever thought of prosecuting these as libels. In short, there was no work which might not be construed into a libel. No history that ever met the public eye, was free from libels. It was true, that to li• bel the dead was an offence, according to the law *f this country, on account of the injury such an offence was calculated to inflict upon the living. Upon this principle it might be libellous to tell truth of Henry the Eighth, or any despotic monarch, who had attempted to trample upon the liberties of the people, and the histo rian of his actions might be brought to account by hip successors, because of the odium thereby supposed to be brought upon the kingly character. Looking through all the passages of the defend:nt's publication which bad been selected for prosecution, they might fairly by con sidered as falling within the province of legitimate se tire, and as tending only (in strong language. it was true) to scourge the vices of the aze—to point out to scorn the errors and follies incident to all human institutions, bat not to destroy them. This was the true sense in which the defendants conduct was to be considered ; and unless the Jury were satisfied by cogent evidence that the defendant really intended to subvert the constitution, and to effect all the nefarious objects imputed to him by the indictment, he was entitled to as acquittal. The crime of libel consisted is 4. maliciaute and _wialignant Intention to effect some object destructive of the interest of society; but this must be openly manifested by the conduct of the defendant. It was not to be inferred. from the naked fact of publication, still less from the circumstance that the publication itself contained some offensive passages. Stripping the publication in ques tion of some of the strong language in which it was couched, it was free from any mischievous tendency. It was capable of au innocent interpretation —a mere sa tire, without any intention manifested of effecting the objects imputed to it. In the absence, therefore, of any caress intention, which was . the gist of the o ff e n ce , h e called upon the Jury to sat an example, this day, which should check the notions which bad been obtained upon the subject of libel. Atter going through each passzge of the publication, and pointing out with great ingenuity the mild sense in which it might be interpreted, he con cluded by expressing a confident expectation that the defeddant would be acquitted. The Lotto Cuter Justice summed op the case fold the Jury, and told them that they could only judge of the detendant's intention by the fact of publication, which necessarily implied, in this instance at least, that the defentlent was cognizant of the contents of the work which he had published, insomuch as his name was printed at the bottom of it. The Jury. it was true, were the proper judges of the defendant's intention, and as the law at present existed, it was their province also to I I decide upon the tendency of the work which had been prosecuted, without attempting to indueoce their judg melt by any observations at his own ; he should merely follow the example of his predecessors on similar (wea l@ions, and should simply give his opinion upon the cha racter of the work brought under their consideration. ,I n his opinion, then, it certainly teas a libel; his view of the subject, however, ought not to indolence them in their decision. They would apply their own sound un- Ilerotwaalioes to the question, and he had no doubt they would cootie to a conclusion which wonld be sathfactory to their own consciences, end to the justice of the coun try. The jury retiriod, felting with them the publication alledzr.l to be libellous, and after being absent irons one mail four o'clock, they returned a verdict of Guilty. 7118 NIKO V. WILLIAM CLAIM. This was an indictment against the defendant for an impious, blasphemous, atheistical, and profane libel, published in a work celled w Queen /dab," written by Dir. Percy Byshe Shelley, deceased. . The prosecution was condneted by Mr. CURIICY and ”r. MAIIRTATT, for the Society for the Suppression of Vice. 'fige defendant was without Counsel, and conduct- I ell his own ease. 1 he libellous passages set forth in the indictment were of sorb a tendeecy that we forbear publication. The defendant in an elaborate address to the Jury, ,disclaimed any intention of attacking. the religion of the couotry, or injuring its morals. ' The price at which the work was published, namely. 12s. lid., placed it above the reach of the lower classes of society, wbo might be supposed to be most affected by its contents. lo point of fact there never had been more than one hundred and fifty copies of it sold, and to .hew the sincerity able biotires, the moment he /maid of the prosecution. he had offered to give up every copy of the work, and enter into any pledge which they might to. quire for his future good etrdnet. As to the character of the libel itself, be insisted that it war perfectly venial. compared with the works of some of the most °wiliest writers{ who had adorned. the literatore of the country; sod that it only contained sentiments which had often been uttered by others:with perfect impunlty..—Hecitea passages from Miltob, Dr. Knsby's translation of Lsere-1 tins, published ender the immediate patronage of fly ' King, Mirabeas, and other writers, in support of 6b argument ; and for the phrpose of expleinlag away din libellous tendency of those poets of his own work lea- lected for prosecution, he read retracts from it, wbielb were free from exception, He co eluded his defence by milling Mr. Pritchard. the attorney for the prosecution, to rove the fact. that he had offered to give up all the co ies of the publication, if the Society would forego pro ceedings. The fact was admitted, but the offer was fil mule under such eircumstseces as not to satisfy the prosecutors of the sincerity of the defeudaut's inten tion. Mr. GIMNET replied. The Leas Cater Jerrsce summed up the case for the Jury. Mae found the defendant Guilty. LONDON SESSIONS. Yesterday. these Sessions were held before the Loan MAYOR, the RECORDER, Alt/.

This was duce, and unfortunately his suspicions were toe true, for a great number of aew silk purses, and other articles of the same kind, (Mr. Gaskill is a manufactits* of these things) were found concealed among her clothes. She was, in consequence, given in charge to a Constable; ' and she then confessed that she bad stolen Many more ' things than those which bad been found upon Ler. She even told of two persons with whom she had deposited property of her master's to a considerable amount: This was the substance of the evidence, and the Mkgis trate immediately issued search warrants against the two persons she had named. One (Adieu), a young woman, was brought to the office in less than as hour after, to gether with the property; but as there was no direct evidence to show that she had' received it, knowing it to be stolen, she was, at the request of Mr. tiaskill, discharged, and Fanny Kenyon was fully committed for trial. Mr. Gaskill made an appeal to the Magistrate in be half also of the unfortunate Fanny; but fifillrerahlp said Le could not listen to it---the law mart take its For some time past, the warehouse of Messrs. Walker and Co. holesale dealers in silver and pl a t e d goo d s . in Bea ufort-buildings, Strand, has been robbed to a considerable extent, and which was diicovered by Mr. Tate, engagedin a similar hasions, who discovered two pair of silver Banger stands, that were now at a pawn broker's, in Chandos•street, St. Martin's-lane, with the private mark of Messrs. Walker and Company, Which led to the detection of the robber. who proved to be Jo:ia Campbell, employed as a porter and warhouseman in Beaufort buildings, who, on being interrogated - and charged .10 suspicion of being the robber, voluntarily made a confession, and gave up a number of pawnbroker's du:ilicates for pledges of new silver plated goods to a very considerable extent, which were produced yesterday by the ilioptuen of seven different Pawnbrokers, before Sir R. Birnie, the Sitting Magistrate ; when Campbell, the Porter, underwent a second examination, and the Pawnbrokers attended, and produced the numerous valuable articles. Several of them identified the person of the Prisoner who pawned the property, and stated the Prisoner bad pledged the different articles by the name of Whittingham. Sir amuse n Blum* very properly censured the coo duct of Pawnbrokers in receiving valuable new mane fac:nred articles, without exercising strict interroga tories to tbepersons offering them for pledge,particularly to persons of the prisoners youthful appearance and want of respectability in his dress, thereby opening a facility for servants to dispose of property which they rub their masters of. Sir Richard particularly censured the conduct of William Lack, shopinan to Isaac Levi, of London-street, Fiisro:i -square, for receiving a great variety of atfid. s from toe prisoner, without putting proper interrogatories to him as to how he because pos el of the property. The witness, in answer to the censure of the Maxis. trate, and in justification of his conduct, stated, that he frequently received similar articles in pledge from small tradesmen who wasted to raise money to pay their bills. Sir RICHARD expressed some surprise that some of fie articles had been received at the shop of Mr. Cameron, in the Strand, who was in g Iso very cautions sad correct io all his transactions. Hobert Hawke', shopusan to kir. Cameron, explained his condom in receiving iplicles from the prisoner, lue raying he bad (regeently pledged the same silver canZ. stick, which induced theist* believe the whole were Lis property.
