hut depended on a variety of circumstances, all concurring to pruve the guilt of the A l ivelli-v.-- With respect to the authority or Siriiiiisford, which lad been treated so lightly, it was of no mean value. Sir E. Coke. in the preface to his Term /reports, spoke highly in favour of his work. When it was written. lie was a lawyer of eminence. He al er %arils became a Judge--and many editions of his .work were published, while lie filled that situation. laid it down as a maxim. that if any violent pre stimption of guilt attached to the Appellee, his might to orate battle might lie refused. The asser t th a t there were no premises from which he could draw his conclusion. was unfounded. For, if they (nuked to Bracton, whose authority was not at all impeached, they would find that lie,estiblish cd this position. &scion said, "An Appellee, nutria some violent presumption made against him, winch did not admit of proof to the cautery, might defend himself by his body ;" and he illostrotes this position by several cases. }lets NM down the saute I .w, and quoted the cases cited by Biactou, the authority of which, as applied to a general par. pose, hertid not attempt to deny. Fulton followed up the same poeition—and Harrington, its his Pent of the Croton, soil Sir W. Blackstone, stated, " That an Appellant might counter-plea a wager of tattle, by introducing strong presumption." By a refenaire to the doctrine Mid down in DrooL', eibridgmeni, lit. " Trie/." 'pl. GO, it wnuld Ise losiml, that where the Defendant, hi a case ()rappels! of mayhem, prayed that it should he eau 11l i l ied in Court. and, being so examined, the Judges doubt= ed whether it was a mayhem or not, they there di vected a trial by the country; and the authority went on to .say, that " in all cases of doubt, they plight refuse wager of battle, and make the same a trial by the country." Under the circumstances of the present case, if a doubt were entertained of the Appellee's guilt, the Judges bad a right to semi it to be tried by the country, mitred of taking upon themselves the painful duty of deciding on the truth of couflicting statements. It was said the comiter-plea was too vague and undefined, and limit it was objectionable, as being multiferidus—and his Learned Friend contended. that no counter-plea was available, units/ tried by the actual inspection of therourt, or by existing mutter of record. The form of • the plea, " that there was a strung pre sumption of the guilt of the Appellee," lie also he. scribed as an improper one. because," it was," lie observes!, " for your Lordships to draw the pre eniaption." 'Phis statement was not accurate. The outlier-plea set forth, that there were *Wong pre assinptans of the Appellee's guilt, and then came the Nets so which those presunaptimer were found ed. The facts were stated from which the cumin slot' was drawn. and it was left for the Court to de termine whether the presumptions inferred from them were of that sort that ought to prevent a wa ger of battle. Another objection was raised to cer tain orris of the counter-plea, in which it was set forth, that such and such circumstances appealed to credible witnesses to have occurred. This, it was said, was nut a statement of facts, but or what appeared to witnesses, and that the names of them ought to have been vet forth. He. however, held the allegation to be good, because the circumstances were stated as fully as the witnessei themselves could have given them. They were put forward as positive facts, and the witnesses, though mentioned. did not utter the position in which the facts wine placed. The COURT held that this allegation was bad, inasmuch as that which appeared to another, could not be set forth as a fact, unlesa the witnesses num. sal evidence was fully given. If, however, the Learned Counsel could spew that the other parts of the counter-plea were sufficient to repel a wager of battle, this would nut prevent it. Utile inutile non viiianclant. Mr. Ctitrrit proceeded to the third point, in which his l..arrned Friend insisted, that the repli cation was a sufficient answer to the counter-plea, even if' it were properly drawn. This lie denied to be the fact. I,t the replication it was set forth, that fresh farts could be adduced to prove the in nocence of the Atareller. if this este the case, then there was matter that ought to go before a Jury, and supersede this vain appeal to the Deity. Tne very allegation its the replication that the Ap pellee was ready to prove various facts by consist tesit witnesses, was su ffi cient to skew that the ease ought not to be decided by wager o f b a ttle. Ir bides. the Appellee had not put a distinct averment of alibi on the replication. He did not aver that lie was not present when Mary Ashford was thrown into the pit. The time was not mentioned distinctly. Ile had merely put an argumentative statement on record, but he did not plainly aver an alibi. The Learned Counsel then applied himself to the 4th point—s , That, 'opposing the counter-plea de fective, or the replication sufficient, the Appellee was to go without bail, and be for ever free from this accusation." He submitted, that, as there was nothing stated, which spewed the roamer-plea and demurrer to be false, the Court could nut give the final judgment prayed for. He then proceeded to v.:capitulate the most prominent allegations con tained in the counter-plea. Its the course of the Learned Counsel's observations on the mark of a foot ne►r the pit. lie was interrupted by Mr. Justice BAYLEY, who said—" The mark might have been there long before that time. The girl might, if she had freely submitted to the Prisoner, full of abhorrence at what had pitied, have put an end to herself. Or she might have gone ta Cie pit to wash herself, and, through weakness, Live Wen in." Mr. CHITTY said, from all the circumstances set forth to the allegations there was sufficient proof that Mary Ashford was violated and murdered. If the intercourse with the Prisoner was with her con vent, she would have looked forward to fortlitr gra. utie;ition, and perhaps to marriage. if it weft otherwise, the natural feeling to which it would give rise was indignation—and the fear of the coos sequence• of that feeling it was which seemed to have given rise to this murder. In conclusion, the Learned Geotteinati called on their Lordships to award a trial by Jury iu this case, instead of wager by battle, a practice peculiar only to the west barliarous age-.

Last night the House of Commons was again occupied in considering in Committee the prop°. ritions of Ministers resulting from the PRINCE REGENT'S Message. Previont, however, to any discussion, Lord CASTLEREAGH apprised the House that he had been authorised by the Duke of CLARENCE to inform them that his Royal High ness did not consider the stun of 6,000/. a-year, bated to him on the 'preceding night, n sufficient inducement to persevere in completing the irego elations for a matrimonial alliance. After a smart discussion upon the propriety of granting the Duke of CAMPRIDGE an additional sum 6,0001. a-year, the House divided, when the vote was declared in favour of Lis Royal Highness by 177 to 95. His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND ass not equally for tunate. The proposition for an equal grant to hun was negatived on a division by 113 to 136. The House, in this decision, appeared to br influenced by their vote on the same subject in 1815. Sums of 6,000/. a-;ear were severally voted as dowers to the Psincessof [Ease and het Royal Highness the Duchess of Cumissitann, in the event of their surviving their Royal Consorts. As the Duke of CLARENCE has expressed his unwil lingness to accept of the sum of 6,0001. a-year in addition to his present revenues, Lord CASTLE REACH intimated his wish last night to negative that Resolution of the Coutmittee on the preceding night but he %aired his intention, on the suggestion of Mr. TIRRNRY, who recommended that .ome communication should be made on the subject to the (louse, which, by being entered on the Jour nals, would in future obviate the misreprementalibns to which a simple negative might be subjected. Dutch and Flanders Mails have arrived with Poets to the 15th instant. They state that Sir T. Ellciourtat.o is the person selected by the British Government to solicit the hand of the Princess AUGUSTA, of Hesse, for his Royal High ness the Duke of CassiniDoc The Duke of WELLINGTON is not expected at Iris head-qua till after he has been to London. It is affirmed that the Duke. and also the French Minister fur Foreign Affairs, will attend the Con gress in September. We have received the Paris Papers of the 13th intent. The Duke of Wtwxotok had an other conference, on the 19th, with the Minister of - Prussia, the Duke of RICiIItLIEU, and the State Counsellor Benin MotnisElt.

Alter a short consultation with his I Brothers, Loral 'ELLENDOROUGH said, the CORI c well as odors not cited, went to prove, I general mode of trial, by law, in came of %Lulea' they fell within some of the allowed • lions, in which a degree of certainty, in point of fact, existed,No as tot:elude doubt, was by battle. Such a degree of certainty, as the taking in the sisiasokr, with a bloody' knife, nod the like, did not exist in the present case. The conseqtreace was, that the rule applicable to such exceptions could not take place on this occasion. The noual trial, applicable to those eases (that was, the trial Iloj !wile. whether gond or bad,) moo therefore, according to due course of law, take place; unless (the accuser having ilioclainsed that mode of trial by his counter•pleo) the accused was to go alto other free. This was a point on which their Lord ships would 'not now give on op' . It 'night hereafter be argued. and they would reserve them selves for such . arginneut. But they thought it right, lookirig to the authorities that had been cited, to pronounce, that this was a case, in which, snider the 'law as it now stood, trial by battle ought to be awarded. Mr. Justice BAYLEY was entirely or the same opinion. and should therefore add very little to what was said by the Learned Lord. The mode of proceetliug by appeal was a singular one : not put.. F tor 41 for the benefit of the public, but with a view to the supposed private right of a party. It was a private suit, entirely under the control of the person instiintiug it—and, therefore, there might be reason why it should be narrowly watched. it might take place after an acquittal by the ordinary mode of trial—after a trial by Jury. It was a sys tem in which pecuniary commutation might Mite place, and might indeed be the object in view.— This was one reason why a trial of this kind was a singularity in the law—and this being the case, it must lie taken with all the inconveniences and in- cumbrance;Which the law attached to it. The right of trial by battle was the right of the 'Appellee, except in /hose cases where by law it was ekcluded, and the existence of a violent presumption of guilt was one of thole g rounds of exclusion. Now, taking the whole detail of facts i s this counter plea, they'cli4 not raise in his mind that violeut presumption which the low contemplated. As to whether judrittnt should be given for setting the Defendant alfbgether free, or a day he appointed for battle, Ise would not offer any opinion. It Was for the consideration of the parties whether they would demand the judgment of the Court ou this Point. They were now placed in this birtition— they were bound by 'kw to give this Defendant what was by law Isis right, namely, the right of trial by 'tattle. Mr. Justice Asnorr was also of opinion, that the counter-plea was net sufficient to oust the Ap pellee of his right to wage battle. The appeal was a challenge, except in those cases fur which the law lied specially provided—as in that of a woman. If thee the appeal were in itself a challenge, only where particular exceptions were made, the fines. non was, whether the Appellant , by his counter plea, ha d brought himself within those exceptions? Certainly be did not come within the exception of age, sex, or condition. But it was said, he had brought himself within those exceptions, by prov. ing a violent presumption of guilt. Looking to Bracton, the must ancieut writer ou this subject, Ise found, that, to oust the Appellee or his right, the statement must be so stroog, void the presume- Lion so violent, as not to admit of denial—so strong mid so violent indeed, that the Justices might, if they thought lit, award ettecution, without any trial at all, Now he could not consider the alle gations stated in this costlier-plea—if th ere even was no error in its form--admitting all the facts to he well pleaded—to be so strung and so violent as to oust the Appellee of his wager of battle. Think- Mg the Appellant had not done enough to oust the Appellee of his right, tinder the law, it appeared to Into that he was entitled to his tutu by battle. Mr. Justice Doutoen d;d not think the coun ter-plea itself, or coupled with the replication, was sufficient to oust the Appellee from his right. Lord ELLENDOROUGU said, the general law of the pawl, in cases of appeal, was trial by battle, unless the Appellant brought himself within the ex ceptions laid down. The facts es pointed out by Bracton were to be of such a nature that " they would not admit of proof to the contrary, and could not he denied or defend-d." Now the facts truth in the comiter.plea and replication, 'hewed most conclusively that the present was not a fast of this kind. Therefore, whatever prejesdice, just or oil just, attached to the trial by battle, they, in their judicial character, odaiiiititering the paw as it was, must award that trial, unless the Defendant was allowed, iii judgment, to go without bail. Mr. GURN EY requested a delay of a day or two, in order that lie and his Learned Friends might de cide ou what step they should next take—and the Court ordered the business to stand over till Mon dsy next.
