Mr. Haar stated, that a new trial was intended to be moved for, and that the application of his Learned Friend was premature. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLT contended that it was sot, as the notice of motion for a new trial was given .n far hack as three Terms ago; the first time it was put off on account of the indisposition of Mr. Serjeanl Best, but the cause of its being postponed afterwards he was ignorant of. If it was not convenient for his lordship to hear it, hr had to re. qurid that it might beset down to he heard immediately be fore his Honour the Master of the Rolls, who was ClIIIIVer• eilld with the facts of the case. The 1.0111) CHANCELLOR—" I have no objection to hear it, hut it must come un 111 its turn. I cannot put one suitor ins better initiation than another. I, however, do nut set why the Master of the Rails .hound not hear it. Vim Geo. ileturn at the Bar mnst agree among yourselves as to the course to be taken."

Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY- 44 There never was a man at thi• bar that ever wished or did study the convenience of Ins brother Barristers, more than I have done; but there has be-it already too much delay in this cause, oeciutiolied by accommodation to Counsel, for which reason I will fix with his Honour to hear it no next Friday." The Loan CmanceLt.oa—" Let it he so." The Court was orcupied the remainder of the day in hear. log motions. of nu interest except to the parties euneerned.

TNt SMITHS nit SiOiltilrd Parer. r. Cilium on a former day, obtainer! a rule tip chew cause why a eriminal information should not Ire filed against the Editor of The Stamford Paper, for a libel on the Mar quis of Exeter The libel complained of was contained in a letter, in which the Noble Minipill was set-used with iin. proper conduct, in usakiNg signs to respectable females in the streets of Stamford, whilst riding ihiongli the town. and also with indecent sud insuiural behaviour in the lobby of the Stamford theatre. Mr. Gomm' now rose to chew against the role. Lord Et.tdrieunnoooli inquired, whether the Learned Counsel hail got IffiailVllS is support of the allegations con tained in 7'he Stamford Perpow ? Ma. Gounvity stated that he had been furnished with se vmal affidavits, from respreisble inhabitants of Stamford. whose mimes he need not mewl ssss whirls folly Imre not the allea.isions contained in the letter alimieit to They detail ed sr Yes, different occasions, on which the Marquis of Ear ter, while riding lb gh the town, made signs to respects. hie females, whirh was highly displeasing to them and their friends—and they also spoke of one instance in which he limmied himself peeping into n insistosionalier's alsop„ to the great ilisetiiiipoisine of the inmates. A Capstans Perry. it !triprns•til, frrytirutly antis& d I ou these peregrino nom. Mr. CLARKE said, if their Lordships eiviceireil that the pnbheation complained of was borne out by these awe sylvan, he had 'tusking farther to say, and the ink insist be ilia( barged. His Noble client certainly hail mit hail an opportunity of contradicting these alliblasits—and, even if b e irid, it was very probable that he would not deny bin haying ridden through the streets of Stamford—or looked at sonic of the female inhabilauls—or taco peeped tutu a dress-maker'' shop. Lord E . n oitouGH said, the invariable rule of the .Conrt was, where a party applied, on account of libel, for a criminal information, and the Defendant, ity,,puutrr.af titlavir, &exerted whaile had publibleed us. its .tare the Complainant to his remedy 1::„ an appeal to a Jury.

Judgment stuis suffered to if , 1 by de fault—and an injunction was taken Is, a.sesa the damage., before tile Under-Shea dr of ltliddh sea, a In•n nominal damages were awarded to the Plaintiff. On a firmer day Mr. TADDY obtained a rule to *hew tame why the verdict should nut bret anode, on the ground of a ntiadireetion, in point of law, by the L'ader-filsetiff, iu his address to the Jury He was 0.1111 . 01 to have •aol, that the money was meritorionsly earned hy Mrs. Gliller—that she supported her children out of her earniugs—and that the Plaintiff not having given notice, lung before, that ha meant to claim his wife's salary, had tacitly assented to the regula tion of the Theatre, by which the individual abaultittly f ployed received the salary--and that, under these citcunt stances, nominal damages would he auflietent." Agaiiiat this Mr. Teddy argued, that, by the law of England, a man uts entitled to the earnings of hi* a ifs—of that sight he couhl tint he deprived—and that the verdict of the Jury, which went virtually to set it aside, could not be sus tained Mr. POLLOCK now shewed cause against the rule. He produced the affidavit of the Solicitor of the Drfesidants, in which, amongst other things, it wa. stated, that the case principally wrist to the Jury on thin around , that the Plain. tiff had not given due notice to the Managers of Ins iutrut . In claim his wife's salary, notice having hers, handt ti to some of the menial servants about the Theatre. Lord ELLENBOROOON —"The 1;;;;;;(;( due notice would operate technically against the Plaintiff rernvering any thing —but it is no answer at all to the right which he claims, in twin: for the earnings of his wife." Mr. POLLOCK continued to observe, that the Plaintiff, knowing the rules of the theatre, anal mot having object' 'I, tor a long period, to his wife's receiving her salary, did, in ethyl, agree to the system, on which the stabli.liment was conducted. li. then proceeded to read the evidence given before the Vistlee.Slieliff, from part of which it appeared, that when the Plaintiff's attorney called on 3lr. Peter Moore, and gave notice, that his rlieut meant to demand the ealaiy paid to his wife, Mr. Moore saiil—" 31is.
