MI I* I p LAW INTELLIGkNCR. OGURT OF CHANCERY, Itatutuay, Nemissa 13. ILLFGITIMATE CHILD. SERGVS9OI V. lIILIGSMION. This extraordinary rear again occupied the atten tion of the Court, whir+ was crowded to excess. it was an application by the Plaintiff to the Court, praying that the annual allowance of three hundred pounds to the Defendant might he snspended. anal that an issue might he directed for the purpose of trying whether she was the legitimate child of the late Colonel tisrgesenn. The Plaintiff having mar ime‘t the Colonel's sister. swarmed the mime of Sergesson, and took the faintly estates. The De fendent is a child of thirteen years of age. and being entitled to the perennial estate of her deceased Ersitslnintiser. and other property, in value nearly 90,000/. she was made a wind of the Court, and the 300/. a year 'Mowed her for her education and sup port. In consequence of the PI if having re ceived various accounts respecting the child being sispposi ti t nous child, he went to Dublin, where he rollected ma number of affidavits, stating the man her in which the child had been palmed on the (Vont I as his own. These he submitted to Orm Court. awl applied to have an issue to try the question of the legitimacy. Messrs. 1! sat end FAIRAII, at great length, Mated the case um behalf of the Plaintiff, and reed •he affidavits, which stated that the late Colonel was extremely deeiront to have a child., sod used hi? wife very harshly in coosequence of her none. A plan was accordingly formed befsmen her, Nelly Cunningham, Dr. Fitzommitoint. Mrs. Gib son, tic. by which Nelly went to Sycamore. alley, in Dublin, where she prevailed on a young woman to give her a child of a few days old, in re turn for which she gave the woman three crowns and some spirits, assisting her at the same time that the child should be properly taken care of. The child was given to Mrs. Gibson, who con trived, with Dr. Fitrimmotts, to make the Colonel believe that his wife had been prematurely deli vered of a seven months child, while in a coach. The Colonel at once believed the story, and re joiced that he had become a father. The child was innerly six years of age when the Colonel died, in 19 tit. and she had uniformly been treated kindly by Inns as leis own. An annuity of Ili. was annually vat-1 to ;Melly Cunningham till a few years ago, v!trii she gave this nifoi minion to the Plaintiff. The uffidavits were very numerous, anal gave a long (le ts,: of the plot. The Leaned Counsel strongly urged that the annuity of 12/. to Cunningham was is strnnn proof of the truth of the story, especially as Cunningham .wore it Iva, given her to keep the secret till the death of the Colonel. The object of l:•• Plaintiff, in this application to the Court, was merely to ascertain the trimili of such testimony, es pecially es Mrs. Sergesson, iti I ef affidavit, hed de ieit there was any privacy in the payment of the eianey, while, on ihr contrary, all her letters proved it was a secret payment. she hariog directed the letters to be sent to her model's horse, and not to her own. Brides, her second atF davit proved quite tierently from the first, in the manner in which she accounted for that annuity being allowed.— These points were urg-al with considerable energy by the Counsel. Mr. WiscetEED made an admirable speech for the Defendant. He went into a minute detail of t' e affidavits, which, lie contended, were so contra. ohctory in tileir contents, as to slim they were an. no:rily of credit. The very conduct of the Plain t ft himself marked the whole case with suspicion, fur instead of this being the first. it was the third rtaplicetion. lie conceived that time Went was justified is resisting this application in every point of view. The story was most improbable ; for in the first place, where was there any likelihood in Cu:onel Sergesson being induced to believe that a clim:d of seven days old was a new-born infant ? I) rot the slightest consideration spew the vast il.flerence in the appearance of a child seven days aid from a new born one? Further, he would ask, was it at all Imktly that any mother would sell a child for three crowns amid a glass* of whiskey ? Without sus reflection. on the character and conduct of the Plaintiff, it could nut but be regretted that he had gone into all the kennels and sinks of Dublin to procure information on this subject, and to bring down the contempt and disrespect of the public on this child. The Learned Gentleman then read a resmber of affidavit% in reply to those of the Plain• tiff end otlwrs. Ile also read several letters of the Defendant's mother, Mrs. Sergesson, and coo t-Wiled en animated speech by hoping the Court would r efuse the motion. _ _ Mr. Cower followed on the same side, and Mr. n'r replied. use Loan CnsecELLoa went into a loog detail of all the focis ut the case, and strongly declared lam opinion on the infamous conduct of the persons who had given the Plaintiff such affidavits, and he thonght it his duty to send the case to a Jury, on the point of legitimacy, and not on the annual el -I..wasice of 300/. to the infant. The parties would 4410. meet &cc to five, for certainly some of them were perierrd, either on one side or the other: The ig•ite ass ordered to be triedin die Court of IC ing's Bench in the Sittings after Hilary Term. COURT OF BINH'S BENCH, Weirrawsma, SATURDAY, Novragssit 13. TIWICIIXO C. SIR 1114 M. I.OI O IZ. ♦MD EIGHTIIIIN °TRICIA. Ift will he recollected that Sir M. Lopez, end the sutler Defetalams. were convicted at the Devon A—te , s last Spring of bribing certain electors of the b..roogh of Grampound, for the purpose of pro. coring, by corrupt means, the return of a Member to were in l'arlisment fur that beromtle. There waa also a second conviction against the Baronet, far on offence of the same description committed iii Cornwall. .The particulars of the cue have al ready been (ally detailed to the public. The Defendants now put in affidavits, iii which they severally stated, that Sit Manasseh bad not re quested any of them et the time of election to vote toe him, or had he pointed out to them any person for whom he desired they should vote. Alr. SCARLETT addressed the Court in elitiga. tits°. and contended that Sir Manissweh Lope* had • not completed his offer S, inesasech as he had e4ped u• basest frees it. lie had Dot been elected, orlisd any friend of his WO elidiefi to viVieseit the borough. The Areoenr.T-Geltritslf., on the part ef the prosecution; replied to Mr. Smitten. His Litemed Friend had reemeintended his client. Sir Mostemsft Lopez. to their Lerdshipe mercy. on the ground that the offence with which he was charged was not complete. inasimoch as he had am been ulti mately successful in obtaining a seat in the Rouse of Commons; but, though diet Gentleman had not succeeded. lie had used his utmost efforts by bribing a number of the voters. Of the act of bribins there could be no doubt ; and of that he was convicted. His Learned Friend had also contended that Sir Manasseh was not the principal mover in the bovine's. but that Mr. 11-nnt had taken the prominent and active part. It might be so; but Mr. Flout was only the agent of Sir Mo. month, for whom it was hIS intention to reran • oral itt Parliament. With respect to the other De fendants, he hail trot a sufficient knowledge of the facts as related to them, to he able to say whether there were any shades of difference in the mag nitude of their offelices ; it did appear, however, to him that some of them held situations in the borough, which was au aggravation to their crime. This was originally a private prosecution. and the Defeedents were convicted at the Spring .daises; no step., however. had been hikers for brinein the Defendants up for judgment; and the House of Clommous had, in coosegrieuer, instruct- Pa him (thr /Ott y General) to split! for their Lordship's' lutignicsit on the subject. The House lonini•wraortuid considered it right. in defence of eif"tights of the people. to do this; bet whilst they prayed judgement, they did it in- no vindictive spirit : they rested the rave entirely with their Lord ships, who would. in their wisdom, inflict such a punishment as would seem to them meet fur the offence. Mr. Justice BATLEY, in delivering the judgment of the Court, commented in strong terms on the enormity of the offence of which the Defendants. particularly Sir Manasseh, had beets convicted. His Lordship dwelt particularly on the necessity there was at all times, but more especially at pre sent, to preserve the House of Commons pure, that the people might place confidence in it. Among the Defendants, Sir Manasseh stood conspicuous ; he had utilised the property with which Providence had l►lessrd him, by applying it to the worst of purposes, and might hare induced those who came within his it ke:ice to commit the horrid crime of perjury. Indeed it did appear that one of the Defendants, Devonshire, had commenced taking the bribery oath. and would have gone through it but for the mercy of the person who had required it Amid be administered, but a ho, on seeing his intention, humanely prevented his proceeding. The Court had taken all the circumstances or the case into consideration. and' for the first offence of which Sir Manasseh had been convicted, they sentenced him to pay a fine of 8,000/. to the King, and to he imprisoned twenty-one mouths in Exeter gaol; for the second offence, a further fine of 2,0001. and three months imprisonment in the same prison. Devonshire they sentenced to six month.' imprisonment in Bodmin gaol. and the rest of the Defendants to three months imprisonment in the same prison. THE ZING V. MIS. CA11.11.1. Mr. CURIUM said the Defendant in this case had been attending for some days past in Coml. to chew cause against the rule obtained fora critninal information against her. for selling Pevise's Age of Ireason. As she was in a situation which rendered it inconvenient for her to attend, their Lordships would perhaps hear her now. Mrs. Carlile then came forward on the floor, and the Chief Justice asked her if she had Noy thing to urge why the rule should not be made absolute. She made no reply to hi. Lordship's question, suit was apparently overcome by her agitation. Mr. Mills, of Bristol, now well known by his fee. quest appearance in the Courts of Law, appeared to be her adviper, and by his direction she handed in some papers to Mr. !Nifty, which were read. Oi.e of them objected to the ru'e being made absolute, on the ground of an irregularity in it; and further. that her person was not described with sufficient accuracy. Mr. Guam' said, service bad been made per sonally on Mrs. Carlile. It might also be right to state, that since he applied for the criminal informa tion four other numbers of the work had been pub lished. Mrs. Carlile then requested that the other paper might be read, which was in the form of an address to the Court ; and in it she contended, that the rule could not be made adsolute, since it was no offence to publish a fair sad correct report of what passed in a Court of Justice. She had an stithmity for this opinion in the case of Carrie v. Walter, and also in the cane of Daniel Isaac Eaton, whose trial ergs published at length, and no objection taken. Her husband at his trial read the whole of the Age of Reason, to prove to the Jury that there was nothing of an immoral tendency in that publi. Lion. She had so high an opinion of her hushand's principles, that she confided entirely in his opinion ; in fact, she considered it as a religious duty ou her part to do so. She was convinced her husband would, if desired, telte all responsibility on this occasion on himself. and give his sanction to all she had done. Fur these reasons she contended the rale against her ought to he discharged. Mr. Gu RN LY.—The title to this publication, my Lords. declares it lint to he • fair report of whet passed in • Court of Justice; it is called the Nock Trial. The Defendant Carlile was indicted for selling Nine! Age of Reason, fur lOs. tit Mrs. Cathie is now selling at for eighteen pence. The CutEr JUSTICE said, no doubt could exist in the mind of the Court osi the present question. if in the course of a trial the course of justice required that matter defamatory and improper should be gone into. that afforded no justification of a re-pohlication of such matter. This had been decided in the case of the King v. Creevy. Mr. Creevy made a speech in the House of Commons defaming an individual ; he afterwards poblished that speech. and was pro secuted for it. He pleaded privilege of Parlia ment. The Court held that he was privileged to make the speech in his place as a Member of the House of Comm'.,, but for publishing it after wards It was convicted rod punished by the Court. There was no doubt this rule must be made shoo. lute. Whether this would prevent the parties from continuing the publication or net, would be for --_;. flints to consider. ii it aid in, perhaps the paw ties who prosecuted the rule would pro+ceed nu fur ther; but the Defendant, if she still persevered+, woolsl dimmver that ultimately the must subusk to the law. Mr. Justice nATt.T.Y remembered the case of the King *rid Cecevy, and the strong opining, la& dawn by Lord Ellenbornugh on that occasion, ill which he fully agreed. Proceedings in a Court of Justice would never authorise the reptibliciii.on of delsonin. tory or iliariioT+4l inciter. In cases of adultery, for instance, would it be contended that permute were justified in a republic.ninn of the iltegusting matter which, for the ends of joistire, the Court mud Jury were frequently obliged to hear ? IVaili respect to the present publication, it should he known, that all who uttered, by selling, lending, or giving away, were equally halole. Mr. Justice HOLROYO agreed in the opinion laid down by the Chief Jointer and Nfr. Justice Bayley, and :Averted to the case 1.1 the Kitig and Lord Abingdon, as :In 1111lhority th.d !Veil frees Parliament *ere ~,t 1111 , 111)11.4q1 Ili speeches 0 latch contained deldimilory matter. Mr. Justice BEST also agreed is tins opinion ; but to thing:ooe it was soot necessary to ad rest 10 ally of the authorities which had been citetl. Is was only contended, as he understood, that it was Ir4al to pulAsh fair reports ; taw the prevent, oil the iistv of it, vies loot of that description. It &seated the trial us the murk trial. No man could say lists was a far re post, the first line of watt ass o grow• libel on the Court o hoar proscreflitucs it picleistiell oft describe. No matt could be juttitied jd regn , r.iiiic that %hul went to defame character, epread .edition, o r de. Way the morals of the public. Ile trusted the tusking the rule absolute would stop the further publicetion; mid then,. perhaps, as the object of those oho moored for the itiformatioft wuuLl iw ob. taine-il. no further steps would be taken upon it. Rule made absolute. THE OLDHAM INQUEST. Mr. DENMAN, as their l.nrilphips were leaving the Court to go to the Exchequer Ch.nalter. raid he had a short, but itainatant mottuto to make In the Court.
