Lx parte On a furnier day, a - petition had been tnwent•d to the Lord Chancellor, purporting to be the ris finial& of Sarah Ann Daniels, praying to he from the care of her husband, Mr. JotiepirMun yard, and to be placed either urder•the Mow of her father, Mr. James Daniels, Or some ether person, whom his Lordship mit,rht be pleased to •ppeint, His Lotti.hip having he,ird Sir SAMuat. R. INILLY . fur.the Petitioner; rod Mr. Ilarr . for Mr. Munyard, was pliaiied to direr making en order in the case for thut time.—The question was, whether the lady win a lunatic, pending these proceedings before hie Lordship? (Which our readers sill ►ea collect were detailed in our Paper uf the tlith Dec. last). A letter was in.wrt.J iu a Nlorniug Paper. which was signed 8. Sarah Ann Munyard." ad dressed to the Editor of that paper. In that letter Mrs. NI. denied that •he had •p t .hed to this Ceort to be removed from the protection or her husband ; admitted that she had laboured under es indis position the most unfortunate; and, after stating some annhiguoaq expressions with respect to her escape from her father's pretei-tirni, and that she was in Court the gleatest port of the time her pretended petition, as she called it, was en; concludes with expressing no wish to be removed Gem the custudy of her husband. Sir SAMUEL Rossi Lsir resented a petition from Mr. Daniels, the father, which now prayed, first. that Mr. Munyard should stand committed for contempt of Court, in publishing, or (musing to bet pahlished, the letter, bearing the signature of Airs. M. Secondly, that Mrs. M. should be deli. vetted over to the costody and care of such person as his Lordship should judge proper. Sir SAMUEL was heard in support of the petition. end Mr. II are end Mr. Witaue ageism at. The Gentlemen she argued in favour of Mr. Al aid. contended. that he was not to be implicated in the transaction, for that the letter was the spentenecus effect of Mrs. M.'s regard for her husband ; they denied that Mr. M. had any concern with the pleb lieution of' the proceeding. in the newspapers; and *rested that his Lordship would not deem it expe dient to comply with the prayer of the pteresit pe tition. Sir SAMUEL ROWILLY replied. sod contended. that the letter which he read ws couched w am terms as could not be mistaken; that it Wei 1:710t probable Mr. M. had dictated it, or at any r.te bud influenced her to write it. That with respect to the publicatitialn the newspapers, he, for his part. had do wish restrain the liberty of the press; on the contrary, he wished to God that he shoutd never live to see die dae.witen the doors of British Courts of Justice should be closed upon the p.d.lic ; the liberty of the press was one of the hest privileges of Englishmen, so long as that liberty was made subservient to the ends of justice. The LOAD CHANCELLOR ob•erved. that the peti. tine which came under his consideration this day, embraced two objects: Finn. that he should order the committal of Mr. Manyard, for contempt of Court; and. secondly, that Sarah Anne Daniel. should be delivered over to the care of such persons as he might appoint. there in abide. until the issue should be tried respecting the quietens of hammy. The petition did not go the liagth of preying • n-s hearing of the case. The affidavits annexed to the petition were founded on a circumstance which .14 material. six. that, as it was alleged. Mr. Mui— yard had made use of the name of the person to whom lunacy is imputed. if not for any other poi. pew. at least fur the purpose of giving to the world, pending the trial of the issue. a proof or rearm. to Imagine, that such person was lane. His Lordship was concerned to state, that the case was by fat the most distressing that had come within his knee ledge, front the circumstances which arose out of it. The present proceedings were h:id in cons.- quence of a Cause, instituted in this Court to deejde the question, Whether an infant. the ward of tin- Court, wee a tonatie or riot ? As an infant. she was ander the protection of the Court. The I . on cipal irestion to be tried.. Could cot be decided on the hearing of the pretreat petitiou. His Lordship then took notice of the charge in the petition. with respect to the publication of the letter. in which. on one side, it had been contended. that the publi cation was a contempt of Court, abed. on the other side. that it could nut bear that cop. structioo.—With respect to its heirs; a contempt or not. without at present entering into dial question, ail must be agreed, that, at least. it would have been better that it bad not appeared, As to what had been said &boat the publicity of proceeilio l o In Count of Justice,• why, the bat security, if not the very best security which_ the people could have, was to be found in the puloiirite of conduct which Judges on all occasions ohsecsee', when presiding fur the benefit of the public. t';. Samuel Ronailly had said. that the affidavits on t!.• former occasion had been read publicly therefore, they might have be,•-• ,
