LONDON, SATURD tY. MARCH 23, 1920. We were enabled yesterday morning, by very great exertions and considerable expense, to pub lish. in a Second Edition of our Paper, a sketch of the trial and conviction of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, at Leicester ; but as our Express did not arrive in town until the advanced hour of six o'clock its the morning, a desire of gratifying the public curiosity by an early publication of the result, and a -regard to the great importance of the case, induced us in that hurried impression to limit the report to a general abstract of the proceedings. and to defer the more copious account until this morning, when we are enabled to publish it with all the advan tager that belong to greater fulness and superior accuracy. _ Our readers, we presume, are aware that the writing for which. Sir FRANCIS Buxom has been prosecuted wu a letter addressed by the worthy Baronet to the Electors of IVestminster, exhorting them to meet in public for the purpose of demand. ing an investigation into the nirlsocholy occurrences which took place at Manchester on the memorable 16th of August. The letter was written ob. viously under the influence of ardent feelings, and may hays been couched in terms not sufficiently obseruat of the Millitlfed strictness of legal pro. priety. Rut the errors of tl►e worthy Baronet, whatever they may have bees, sprung from the purest source ; they were the offspring of that ge. &serous principle that prompts us to feel a sympathy for the sofferings of others, and teaches as that oar own interests can never he dissevered from those of our fellost.creaturetu The occarrences at Maw cheater, it must, we think, be universally admitted, were in ihens.elves possessed of deep interest, in corrs.quessers the most impoAmat, and militating, at least in egrpearance, against some of the most revered principles of one political being; and much allowance, we think, is due to the first burst of an ardent mind, indignant at what was conceived to be an outrage on a valued public right, and !assenting over the dreadful circum stances that accompanied the event. Far, however, be it from us to throw any cen sure upon thewtotives or conduct of the Leicester Jury, but while we bow to their decision, we •say be permitted to lament it. We certainly had hoped for • diferent result, conceiving that under the peculiar eirtahistooces of the moment fu which the letter was written, while yet no public in. vesugation had taken place, and while the harshness of the proceedings struck upon the public mind with unmitigated force, some excnse might be friend in the ardent feelings, the humanity, and glick sensibility or the writer ; and further, that the high &wooer and exalted nisei of Sir FRANCIS KURDRit,essid lave secured him, in the minds of an intelligent Jar?. from the vulgar reproach of 4r ring to stiatttlete the people to acts of violence. Our readers will'perceivre that a technical objec tion has been raised' by the worthy Bareuet'sCounsel, which we confirtensly hope will be found sufficient to arrest the judgment. No evideoc whatever of publication in Leicestershire was produced on the trial: The fetter was dated from Sit FAANCiII Illcaorrr's residence in that county, but the term " publication," implies that the letter had been communicated to some person within the county, of which there is a. proof. To put a letter into • post-office in Leicestershire, is not • publication in Leicestershire, although if the letter should arrive at the place to which it is directed, the publication is complete at such place of its destination. The Learned Judge iodred said, that the date of the letter of such presumptive evidence of publication as was sufficient to let the case go to the Jury; but we hope that the time has not yet arrived when II man shall be criminated in a court of la; upon merely presumptive. The publication of the letter was complete in Westminster, and in Westminster where the offence, such as it was, was actually committed, ought the Defendant have been tried. It is nut probable that the choice of the eerier was accidental, but it is not for us to say what motives way have led to the 'election. Yesterday the.

It appeared that him r Cheeky the ward, wee the reprtsentetive of an ancient &wily, sod on becoming of age, would be in the possession of a large estate. 111 April last year, he kft the University of Oxford, luiui, K finished his studies, sod went to Worcester, where the family of the Earl of Coventry et to at the time. He was introduced to the fanii'r for the first time, he was invited to dine, there was not a general invitation gives him to the house of the Noble Earl, as charged in the petition of Lady Greeley. After the return of the noble family to their house in Piccadilly, the ward visited them. and was invited to dine. and re., ceived, in the same way as any other persun of the same rank would have been. The Noble Earl', family in the solemn went to Cheltenham, tool they supposed by one of those secidetsts which people in a similar station of life meet, they tett the ward. and the Hon. John Coveutry brusight him home to dinner with him. Shortly afterwards the ward wrote a letter to the Noble Earl, his permission to pay his addresses to Lady Sophia, which he answered as • father ought, that if his for. tune watt of that extent. to as to rushes sollietaritt on his daughter sufficient fur her rook in I,ta, mod his, the ward's friends. approved of the marrow, he would have DO objection. The ward, iii answer 1.• this letter. sent the Noble Earl his rent-roll, soil referred him to his solicitors for the truth of it. lie did apply to the solicitors, and they cosifirmed the statement of the rent roll, and informed lion that Earl Beauchamp was the guardian of the ward, on which he wrote to that Noble Fail, and informed him of the circumstances, a n d F e_ ceived for mower that he could have 110 4,k)j1.1' tion to the marriage, but that the ward csti'a not make a settlement on Lady Sophia, ii ,t l l, he obtained his full age of el. The Ent of t',•- veutry immediately informed thy we'd of the u..- swer he bad received from hilt guardian, rod at 11,r same time represented to him that he could not consent to any marriage between 1 suit Sophia HMO he became of age.

Ile ttot.A ask his Lordship, now he was in prosession of tine facts, what were in them that was derogiitioy the chatacter of the Noble Ilimse of Coveot!y. He was at a loss to know what order his Lordship could make in such a ease as this without it wee tei dismiss the petition with costs. Mr. SUADWIJ.L followed HO the same side. The ATTORNIT-GRNERAI., Counsel for E el Beauchsnep, the guardian of the ward, said he was instructed by his Noble client to say, that he did not pee any thing improper iii the intended mar riage of the ward and 'Lady Sophia wine he 113.1 obtained the age of 41. and that he believi-il it oev.r was the intention of the Earl of Coventry, or no ) . part of his family, that the mariage should take place before he obtained that age. Mr. HART, Counsel for Lady Greeley, stated that it never was charged by his chew that h.e noble family of Coventry had entered into ts c ins /piracy for the purpose of getting the ward to marry Lady Sophia, it utits only alleged y had given such an acquiescence that would pronsotd it. He was the last person that would wish to say any thing disrespectful to any person, whither nt high or low life ; but would it not have been aop posed that a man of high honour, such us EMI Coventry was represented to be. would, on the ward applying of ban by letter to slithers i+"4 daughter, Lady Sophia. have immediately iii!Oroo-d Lady (iresley of the circumstance ; but he dill in t, sod iu lact did not decline the stam-di ne ntas riage until lie was informed by Earl I:eauclirtio; , that the settlement on Lady Sophie coul.l ma be made uutil the ward became of age. lle would concede to hi. Learned Friend, that it was also t h e in tention now of Earl Coventry that the marriage should take place uutil that time arrived. But that doi th.t make it the less necessary fur his Lordship to 1 , - terfere by injunction, or some other order that 'aim ',l prevent the intercourse between the ward awl Lids' Sophia being kept up. If it was proved that the m. 21- riage was contemplated to take place before that period, his Lordship would be bound to prevent ti ; mid what was the distinction, if the ward was al lowed to visit Lady Sophia up to the time of his attaining that age, for lie would get - so entangled that the moment he was legally authorised to act for himself. he would be compelled to carry the marriage lido effect.
