loss to each individual would be very trifling. Of Mar success, however, he entertained no doubt. Lord Palmerston, and those who had committed themselves by signing notes to the Bankers, first thought of suing Mr. IVllks, but they soon discovered that Wilks was as improvident as he was wicked, and that there was no chance of recovering any thing from him. They had also found that they could get no hold open Teague ; and they then bethought themselves of this call on the Shareholders. It was alto proposed to give up four of the mines, and conduct the Company with three mines. These three mines could be purchased from Teague for 12,0001.. which ' with the outstanding debts, would make a capital of from 30.00 W. to .10,0001. This scheme was also given up ; but did it not afford the must unanswerable evidence of fraud, when Teague was now ready to sell for 12,0001. what he hail before sold foe 34.4341., and what Wilks was to sell to the Company fur 49,0001. ? There could be little doubt that all * purchases made for the Company were in the same extravagant proportion. In fact, the whole was a thorough and systematic fraud, to which Captain Teague had lent himself. His ( 3lr. Clark's) advice to the Directors was, to join with the Shareholders, and get back the 19.6001. which had been advanced to Teague, and which would nearly cover their responsibilities. Mr. HAY interrupted Mr. Clark, to inquire whether Mr.Teague had offered to sell to the Company for 12,00 W. what he had pre viously sold to Wilks for 32,4341. Mr. CLARK—So I have been informed. A SHAREHOLDER said it had been so stated. Mr. CLARK resumed. A sum of from 6 to 7,000/. was charged in the Company's books for 1,000 shares for the Directors ; so that not only in the beginning, but in every part, the transaction was full of fraud. lie would now mention why the Directors could not come upon 3lr.Wilks. By the deed no person could be a Proprie tor fur more than 200 shares, but Mr. SVilks had become a Pro. prietor for 2.1000 shares. Now the instalment called for, at a/. a share, would amount to 10,01101. on 3lr. il'ilks's shares: hut if the Directors forfeited those shares upon non-payment of the call. Wilk" could say, "Then you allow that all the contracts entered into by the Company arc binding, and I demand payment of the difference between 79,300/. and 121,060/., which was the amount you agreed to pay me." It was understood that Mr. Wilk' had already filed a bill in Chancery against the Directors, for the rem rely of the deposit money; but he believed this was like the cir cular letter—only intended to frighten. The Directors could not do any thing with ‘rilks, who was head and ears in debt, and he heard hail quitted his house at 31i11-hill. Several Shareheldets here suggested the propriety of avoiding personality, and Mr. Clark desisted. Mr. Hay wished to know whether Lord Palmerston knew any thing about the sale of the mines. Mr. WOOLLEY—So doubt he did, for he was in the Chair when the money was voted. Mr. HAY said Mr. Clark had talked of the Honoarable Dine. tors; but he doubted their honour, one and all. He understood that the Solicitors whose names were signed to the circular letter were Lord Palmerston's Solicitors. Mr. CLARK—They are the Solicitors of the Board of Directors. Mr. IVOOLLEY—And also Lord Pahrierston's Solicitors. Mr. HAY—In my opinion the whole is nothing better than a seteme to pick pockets, and I am sorry to observe that Lord Pal merston does not stand as well as he ought. Mr. CLARK said he did not wish to shelterany man who deserved censure, but he must say, both for Lord Palmerston and Mr. Sulli van, that, from the declarations they had publicly made, they did not participate in the corruption ; in his mind they had stood tree from blame. But he did not defend the part they took in issuing the circulars. Their present conduct, he thought, was in consistent with their former declarations, but no doubt their answer would be, that they were acting under legal advice. A long dent !tor eooversation here took place between Messrs. Clark, Hay, and Woolley, and one or two other Shareholders. Mr. Woossgit said it was a strange fact that Lord Palmerton had voted a sum of 20,0001. without knowing what security Willis had to give the Company, or what security he himself had for the transfer of the mines. Mr. CLAnK said, that if the instalments were not regularly paid to Teague, the contract was, that the previous instalments became forfeited, and the mines reverted to the original proprietor. Teague DU now the proprietor, and the Company had no property in them. Mr. Woot.t.rY said, Wilk, was the servant of the Company when he entered into the agreement with Teague, and could DOI legally have charged more for mines than he had paid. Mr. HAT thought the Directors, honourable and dishonourable, dught all to be indicted. He was sure, front the ex-party evidence which might be produced, a Grand Jury would find the bills. Lord Palmerston and the other Directors would then be sent berme a British Jury, and , if his Lot ilsitip wag innocent, he would be ac quitted, and, if guilty, would be punished. Mr. WOOLLEY—If he was acquitted of fraud he must be found guilty of gross negli,gence. 11r. Csaaa said he would read a resolution which had been pre. pared, and which left it open, after consulting with wha•ever soli. niter should be employed. whether the proceedings ought to be civil or criminal. The resolution was as follows : " Resolved. That the projected Cornwall and Devonshire Mining 4 :',..ampar.y, being bottomed in fraud, does not legally exist. That :Le self-elected Directors have no right to make any call for instal ments upon the shares, and cannot have any power to enforce pay ment of the same. That the Committee of Shareholders who have signed the Deed of Settlement (in ignorance of the frauds which have been since brought to light), and the Committee of Scrip ',olden, be authorized and are requested to resist any unjust at tempt that may be made to enforce the payment of fiat ther instal :it:nu upon these shares, and to adopt such legal measures as they may be advised, whether civil or criminal, to recover bark the de posits and instalments already paid, and to further the ends of justice." A. SuagEnotnEn asked Mr. Clark if he knew who were elected Directors in the place of those who had backed out, after receiving the hush-money ? dlr. CLARK—I do not. Thu Resolution, having been proposed and seconded, was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. CLAM: said that as the business for which they had met had terminated, he wished to make a few observations upon another scheme of a very fraudulent character. Sean gentlemen here ataggeeted the propriety of avoiding sub-' jets which were uncoon •emsd with the business before the Meeting. Mr. Csaaa assured the Misting that he would make a very few observations.

BucxtrlGN•74 versus BANK ES.—The Trial of this long pending Cue, of which a brief outline was given in our Paper of yesterday, having occupied nearly ten hours in the hearing, the public journals generally could not in clude more than a small, and necessarily imperfect, portion of the whole. As, however, the questions involved have long excited a deep interest in literary circles, we are re quested to state, that a verbatim Report of the entire Pro teedings of the Day, taken down by an experienced short hand writer for the purpose, will be given in the ensuing Minion of the Oriental Herald, to be published on the Ist of November next. The eloquent opening speech of Mr. Brougham,—the solemn, but unsupported, asseverations of Mr. Gurney,—the unjustifiable conduct of Mr. Murray,.,- the evidence by which it was attempted to justify the COD• duct of Mr. Bankes,—the powerful and impressive Appeal of the leading Counsel in reply,—the cautious and mode rating directions of the Judge,--and the deliberate Verdict,' after this, of an honest and im ial Jury,—all deserve to be fully slid faithfully reoortted, as a warning to evil doers, and a beacon of hope and consolation to the victims of unmerited slander, however humble the pretensions of the sufferers, or however ancient the family, or splendid the fortune, of their oppressors.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, • police reporter for some of the London journals, to recover from the defendants, who are the publishers of the Courier evening paper, a compensation in, damages toe an alleged libel of and concerning the plaintiff; pub. fished by them in the Comfier newspaper. Before this case was called on, Mr. Ova* xv stated that there was another action for libels, !Mlt by the same plaintiff against Mr. Clement, the proprietor /Vernier: C l / 4 rrniele and Ball's /Aft in London newspapers. In the latter eau there were special pleas of justification as to the truth of the libels. In the present case, which stood first in order on the list, there was no plea of justification, and therefore lie would tender to his Learned Friend, Mr. Scarlett, who conducted the defence in both cases, the option of trying the action against Mr. Clement first, if he chose. He would then have an opportu nity of proving the truth of the libels. if he could. Mr. Sc AHLETT—I do not choose to accept of the option ; and you will learn my reasons by-and-by. Mr. GURNEY—Very we ll; if 1 had not given you the option, I know very well what would have been said. This case then proceeded. Mr. GURNEY and Mr. PLATT were for the plaintiff. Mr. SCA {MET T and Mr. F. POLLOCK appeared hOf the defence. Mr. PLATT opened the pleadings. This was an action brought by the plaintiff' for • libel published in the Courier, and imputing to him the fabrication of a letter, purporting tote written by a person of the name of Evans, 29, Northtimberland-street, and addressed to Mr. Spilsbury, of Poland-street. requeoing him, fur • due compensation, to let his apprentice, Charles Burton Lane, go out of the country, he (Mr. Spilsbury) having previously entered into recognizance* for the appearance of Lane at the ensuing West minster Sessions, to give evidence against John Grosse 3luirhead, for an assault upon tote said Lane, with an intent to commit an un natural offence. The declaration contained a series of allegations, detailing the circumstances which transpired, from the period when the information was laid against Muirhead, up to the production, in Marlborough-strett office, of the letter with the fabrication of which the plaintiff was charged. To this declaration the defendants pleaded the general issue, Not Guilty, whereupon issue was joined. Mr. GURNEY stated the plaintiff's case to the Jury. The com plaint which the present plaintiff this day made was, that the de fendants had, in their newspaper, published an imputation upon him, that lie was the author of a letter written to the master of an I apprentice, upon whom an assault, with intent to commit an un-' natural offence, had been committed by a person named 3luithead, who was afterwards tried for, and convicted of, that offence. The facts of the cue were these. In the month of August in the last year, a lad of the name of Charles Burton Lane went before a Magisttate of Marlborough-street Police Office, and there made I a charge against a person whose name was then unknown, of an assault of the most indecent description. The person of the in dividual charged was, however, well known ; he was apprehended ; his name turned out to be al uirliead, and after an examination at Marlborough-street, ha was fully committed to take his trial for the imputed offence. As Charles Burton Lane, the boy assaulted, was both a minor and an apprentice, his master, Mr. Spilsbury, a re spectable tradesman in Poland -street, Oxford-street, was obliged to enter into recognisances for the boy's appearance at the next ensu ing Middlesex Sessions, to prosecute the complaint. Very shortly after this, Mr. Spilsbury received the following letter:— " No. 29, Northumberland-street. Strand. " Sin—From a very close intimacy, for more than fifty years. with the unfortunate J. G. !Bullhead, Esq., I can most truly and faithfully assure you that he is one of the best, most hospitable, and benevolent men living. If really he is guilty of the indecencies laid to his charge, I more pity than blame him. Ala. we are all, even the best of us, poor, weak, imperfect creatures; and let him who, laying his hand upon his heart, can say lam unconscious of any secret sin,' throw the first stone at poor aluirhead. You, my good Sir, have it in your power to perform a praiseworthy action, by saving that poor infirm man, of 78 years of age, from shame; your apprentice, the chief evidence against him, is in custody, and your bail for his appearance on the day of trial is eighty pounds. Now, good Sir, if by any means you can contrive to get him out of custody. and let him enlist to go abroad, I willingly, as an old friend of Mr. flluirhead's, take upon myself, not only to reimburse you the eighty pounds, but to add five hundred pounds as a pre sent. As there is nothing unworthy a perfectly honest man in what I propose, and which you may with perfect propriety accede to, I shall expect your written answer; after which, should we agree, I shall appoint an interview somewhere out of town, to avoid being interrupte& " Address to me as above. " fours, &e. "Jo. EVANS, Sell. " Mr. Spilsbury, 8, PolandAtreet, Broad -street, Golden-square." By some means or other, Charles Burton Lou., the boy, did af. terwards leave his master's service ; but he was subsequently tippet liendial and brought up before a Magistrate, who committed him for a month to Tothili-fields, for running away from his master, and by that means he was secured from any further attempts to get him out of the way. In point of fact, he was eventually brought forwardinst this Illuirhead as a witness, and Muirhead Was con against rioted of the offence. It would appear, however, that Mr. Sidle. bury, when he received the above letter, felt it his duty, as a man, to go to Marlborough-street police-office, and there he gave it to Mr. Roe, the Magistrate. It would seem, by the custom of our Journals of the present day, that whatever passed at police offices WY deemed fit subject for publication to the world ; and whether the publications tha• appeared were libellous or not, publicity was given to the proceedings before Magistrates in a manner not very serviceable to the well-being of society. This system of printing all that passed in police -offices led to a mischief of the most seriot's kind ; because the Learned Counsel believed that malicious indivi. duals, knowing the publicity that was always given to that which passed before the Police Magistrates of the Metropolis, often pro terred charges against other indtvlduals, not with a view of their being inquired into, but that the persons towards whom they bore malice might appear in the public Newspapers as objects of general ridicule or odium. It seemed that Mr. lismett, who was a re spectable solicitor, occupied the house in Northumberland.street whence the above letter purported to come; but, unquestionably, he was no party to it. Some inquiry was made upon the subject, and the Jury would find that Mr. Harnett, and Mr. Ed monds, a reporter for the Morning Chronicle, were disposed to at tribute the authorship of the above letter to 111 r. Bourke, the plain tiff. Mt. Bourke was a gentleman Prom the sister kingdom. He was a member of • respectable and opulent family in Ireland ; but, with an honest independence., not choosing to bebome a burden upon that family, he chose rather to be an assistant to the public press in this great metropolis, whereby he was enibled by his own talents and exertions to support himself as a gentleman.

Cross-examined by Mr. SCARLICTT—Mr. Bourke, and others who furnish police reports, are paid by the line, after the rate of three-half:unix a line. Mr. Bourke still reports for the Times. Thomas Blank, Chief Constable of Marlborough -street, examined by Mr. PLATT—III August, 18211, Charles Burton Lane attended at this office, and laid an Information there before Mr. Conant. Wit ness took the information, and it was sworn la Mr. Conant's pre sence, at his house. Mr. Conant is the resident Magistrate. (The information was here produced, charging some person un known with an Indecent attempt on the boy Lane.l Mr. Plank's examination continued—Mr. kfuirfiead was brought before the Magistrate next morning, and Lane identified him as the person charged in the information. He was apprehended on the Sunday, as the information was taken late on the Saturday evening, and he was brought before the. Magistrates on the Monday morning. Mr. ,odder, Govern, of Tothill-fields Bridewell, produced the warrant under which h ivcd Muirhead iato his custody, which was read. Mr. Spilabury's recognizances for the opeassince of Charles Burton Lana at the Simkins were here put in lad reed. Robert Spilabury exattined by Mr. PLATT—Received the latter in question in September, 182.5; had at that time entered Into re cognizances for the appearance of Lane. The witness was in the country at the time the hit,, arrived, but on his coming to town he received it, and then carried it to the Magistrates at Marlborough street Police-orfice. The letter was here put in and read ; and, u our readers will observe, it stated that Mr.Spilsbury mien, with perfect "propriety and gaiety." In the declaration, the words "and safety" ware omit. ted, and Mr. SCARLETT took an objection that this variant* was fatal. Mr. F. Potioce followed on the same side, urging that this variance made the letter set forth, and the letter averred in the de claration, two different letters. The Loan Cuter JUSTICE was of opinion that there was no. thing in the objection, and over-ruled it. The letter was put in and read, In which it was stated that Mr. Spilsbury might," with perfect propriety and safety," interfere in the way proposed ; upon which Mr. SCARLETT rose to take an objection, inasmuch as the let ter, as now read, differed from the letter set orth in the declaration, the words " and safety" being there omitted. As the declaration purported to set forth the words and matter of the latter, any varia tion from the letter now produced would be fatal. Mr. (,c RYE] said that this variation did not alter the meaning in the least. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—It does not, Mr. Gurney. After some further arguramt on both sides, The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said—The letter on which this quettion arises is not the libel for which this action is brought. The declaration does not pmfess to give the tenor ; but all it says is, that " the letter contains the words and matter following :" the letter certainly does contain them, and perhaps a little more. The variation between the declaration and the letter I consider to be immaterial. Air. Spilsbury re-examined by Mr. GURNEY—The letter had been some days at witness's house, in consequence of his haying been out of town; he took it, immediately on his return, to Marlborough street police-otliee. Mr. Aldridge, from the Record Office, proved that Mr. Harnett was an Attorney of the Court of King's Bench. Mr. Mallinson, of the Stamp Office, produced the Courier of the 2fith of September, 11123, and of the l3:11 and 14th of August preceding. Mr. ABBOTT here read from the Courier of the 2fith September the conversaton that passed between Mr. Harnett and Mr. Conant, relative to the letter which was addressed to Mr. Spilsbury. Mr. Plank, re-examined by Mr. GURNEY—On the 13th of Oc tober Mr. Edmonds handed him a letter to give to the Magistrates. Mr. Edmonds reports the proceedings of that office for the Moe-sing Chronicle. Witness refused Mr. Edmonds admission, in conse quence of an order from the Magistrates, which they made without assigning any cause. Tue le ter 0!',31r. Edmonds was here put in and read. It in sub stance called on the 31agistr des to give him an opportunity of show ing that he was not tile author of the letter in question, requested the Magistrates to issue a warrant against the rioter' reporter, and summonses to certain witnesses. and to appoint a certain day for hearing the matter, in order tbat he might have the means of prov ing his innocence. By Mr. SCAULETT—I gave 3fr. Spilabury's letter to Mr. Power to take a copy of it. 1 did so hp the authority of 3lr. Conant. 1 did not understand Mr. Power to be the reporter for the Times. I , was present whets Mr. Harnett came to the office. The Magistrate desired him to write the first two or three lines of the letter, to show that his writing was not like that of the letter. He did so, and on handing them to the Magistrate said, " I despise the suspicion. Mr. Harnett went back, and brought a person of the name of Evans, the only person of that name who resided in Northumber land-street. Cannot say whether Mr. Bourke was present all the time this was taking place. Harnett did not take a copy of the letter. AIL Roe examined by Mr. GURNEY—I am one of the Magi.- tratesof Itfarlborough-erect Police•ofice. 1 received thin letter of Mr. Edmonds. I t7iraa not read publicly in the office did not permit any copies of it to be taken. I believe this libel to refer to Mr. Bourke. Cross-examined by Mr. SCARLETT—Edmonds had been dis missed from the office for a very different cause than being supposed to have written the letter to Mr. Spilsbury, apparently combs& from Hamett's house. I cannot tell what impression these stars in the paper would have made on my mind, if I had not known all the circumstances. I snout say whether I should have supposed ft meant Mr. Bourke; but, knowing all the circumstances, I have no doubt it refers to him. Legally speaking, Ido not know that Mr Bourke is a reporter to the Tinirr. Mr. Purse, a silversmith in the Strand, was next called, and stated that he believed the libel in question referred to Mr. Bourke. Mr. Roe recalled by Mr. SPAILETT—Edmonds applied to the Magistrates for the purpose of getting a public expression of their opinion, that he was not the author of the letter to Spilsbury. Mr, Harnett, when he came to the office, compared the letter written to Spilsbury with some letters in his possession. The libels were here read as follow : MARLDOHOUGH.IITIVEET.OO Saturday , Mr. riernett, the S'licitor, Northumberland-street t Strand, came before Mr. Conant, Sir George Farrant, and Mr. Roe, the sitting Magistrates, and complained of a letter which had appeared that day in the I Mornin g - Chronicle, which he held in his hand.

Bourke, or any Wm t 0.., the eeMbiledap or that loam This, however, is called a libel, and 1 undertake to satisfy you, Gentlemen, that it is no more a libel than any other piece of paper you ever saw in your lives. This is the complaint of a reporter, that a newspaper publishes that which takes place at a public police office. This is the complaint of a niati who publishes every thing that takes place in that office ; and yet he is infinitely annoyed that any thing should be pubiished which occurs there about him. self. Is there to be one law for him, and another law for the rest of mankind ? I say, No. Whatever may be the oldninn of his Lordship in point of law, whatever may be the opinion of lawyets,a disposition now exists on the part of this sort of persons to bring every matter, public as well as private, before the tribunal of public justice, ax it is called; and they make matters of private history, private afflictions, and sometimes private sorrow, even sub. jests of public ridicule and animadversion. Whatever you may think of this practice, I say the last person who ought to complain of auth a system is the reporter of a police office. He sets all law at defiance. He says the judges of the land are wrong—the lawyers are wrong—all sensible people are wrong; but he is t; because these public expositions of proceedings at poll are productive of the greatest benefit to society. Then, in the same of God, administer to Mr. Bourke his own law as hr would lay it down. But Mr. Bourke Rays " No; bold any one you like up to scorn and ridicule, but don't touch a reporter. His holy person is sacred; and if any other reporter dares to represent his conduct in its true light, the vengeance of the law shall await him.' You remember full well, gentlemen, the old story about the Pot and the Kettle, wherein the one abused the other for being some what more black in a certain part of its body than the accuser. It is rendered by common acceptance Into more homely tan. image, which It is unnecessary to repeat; but I say— " uip talent (interims de seuitione querentes. lea est oquior ulla Lse noels artifices arse perire suit." Let net Gnu nos himself complain of public tumults ; let the hangman be hanged upon his own gibbet ; and let not dlr. Bourke =whim be is publishing slanders at three half-pence a line Other persons, who have unfortunately to appear in public police offices, that his sacred person is exempt from animadversion, when it Addy conies under observation. I wish sincerely the Edi tors of N would adopt some system by which their re rteesw not be paid by quantity, but by quality and merit ; this system of luxuriance has so extended itself into all profes sions, that I wish, even in one branch of my own, the mane male were to be observed. Good God ! what wasteful hours of labo rious reading should I be spared, if such a system were universally adopted in all professions! (Laughter.) The Learned Counsel concluded by insisting to the Jury that the present publication was no libel, but merely a necessary vindication of Mr. Edmonds's own diameter. The LOAD Cum" JUSTICE, in charging the Jury, egpreued his clear opinion that the publication in question was a libel of and concerning some person, but whether it referred to the plaintiff, or to any other person, was a question entirely for the Jury Mr. Roe and bin. Puree declared that they believed the libel to be of and concerning the plaintiff, but still the Jury were to decide that ques tion. His Leedsbip, therefore, left it to the Jury to decide, first, whether this was a libel ; and, secondly, whether it was published of and concerning the plaintiff: If the Jury entertained an opinion In the affirmative, they would find • verdict, with moderate da- Magee, for the plaintiff. If they entertained a contrary opinion, thee would find for the defendant. The Jury turned round in the box, and, without half a minute's hesitation, found for the defendant. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE then asked Mr. Gurney If he would try the next cause of Bourke against Clement ? Mr. GuawleY said he certainly should; because, in the second ease against the Morning Chreptack, there was an additional libel. and &Justification was pleaded. BOURKE v. WILLTAX INNELL CLEMENT, ESQ. Theo wu an action brought by the plaintiff in the last case against tha defendant, who is the Proprietor of the iilorning Ciro side, Bell's Life in London, and several other Newspapers, to re cover from him a compensation in damages for two libels, the one published in the Morning Chronicle, and the other in Bell's Lift in London. _....__._. i The defendant justified the libels. Mr. Gurney and Mr. Platt were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Scar let, Mr. Common Sergeant, and Mr. Brougham, were for the de fendant. Mr. GURNEY stated that, as he saw in the Jury-hoz some of the same Gentlemen who had decided the hat case, and as he knew that all the others were in Court during the evidence and discussion of it, he felt it quite unnecessary to go again over the same details : but, in this case, there was an additional libel, in which it would appear that Mr. Edmonds made the columns of his employer's Pa. per a channel for the gratification of his oar. revenge on Mi.llourke. the defendant in this case, however, thought fit to plead a justifi cation, wherein he asserted that it was true Mr. Bourke wrote the letter to Mr. Spilsbury, which swat apparently dated from Mr. Har nett's house. The Learned Counsel would therefore dare his Learned Friend to the proof of that justification, and warned him before-hand that he was prepared to prove who the real author was. In this case, therefore, it would be impossible for the defendant to prove his justification ; the present Jiiry could not come to a con clusion similar to that of the former Jury. It was agreed on both sides that the evidence given in the hit case should be taken, on his Lordship's notes, as having been given la this case. The additional publication in Bell's Lill: in London was then read, and it,appeared in the following form:— " THE MARLBOROUGH•sTREET MAGISTRATES. " Ih one last we noticed that a Gentleman, a Reporter of The Morning . Chronicle, had. been excluded from this office by Mr. Conant, in consequence of his gi'ving i report, in which that Ma.. &trate appeared in rather an obnoxious point of view. The fol lowing is a brief history of this affair : " A man named Jackson, and two soldiers, were brought from St. George'i watch-house to Marlborough street Office; the for. mer charged the soldiers with an attempt to extort money from him, and the soldiers accused him of an indecent assault. As the soldiers were dragging Jackson along the Park, several persona intoned Sams, the gate-keeper, that the soldiers were ill-using a gentlemen . ; a respectable tradismin. named Alowlen, was one of the persons, and Sams went to see what was the cause of the affray, and tinaffy all the parties wentito the witch-house. Alowlen was told that be had no weskits to attend next day, as there was suffi cient evidence without bilm. During the examination the followiug day, Mr. Conant hazarded a most dreadful imputation, that Mow. len was a companion of Jackson, because he had not come forward. On a subsequent day Mowlen came to Marlborough -street Office, end complained to Mr. Conant of his statement haring appeared in some of the AleWspapers, which was is ahfounded as ft was cruel and unjust. Mr. inant had the tee-.. rity to reiterate his former assertion, and because the Reporter gave a faithful account of this ' . he was excluded from the Office; a private communi cation 1 diots to hi& chit be would not be admitted in future. This Time Reperteksent to that Paper an account, stating that Mr. Eddlinde had Men excluded from that Office, which was inserted, widsreekany IMMO for his exclupion being assigned. About a week prodetis to thii seder for Mr. Edmonds's exclusion, an account ap pearedin all the Nureppere, • that hlr. Harnett, an Attorney, of eimberland-strest, Strand, had charged a Reporter at Marlbo. migh.streetofficewith fabricating a letter which had been sent to Mr. Spasinirf the master of a boy named Line, who was a witness against Nubbin & offering Ali. Spilsbury iOOl. to suppress the boy's evidence, Mr. Harnett openly stated in the office, that the rewrite be- Peneed did not belong to the Morning Herald, New =,tor Morning Chronicle newspapers; and in the private room the Magistrates, he said the Timer reporter wns the person he suspected of fabricating the letter. The reporter of the Times, rimice an Meant tp that paper . of Mr. Harnett's compl a int, to sink that Mr. Harnett exonerated the reporter of the ak v ik e Chroalek, &c.; and when, a week afterwards, he gave the repeat t o r k p ines;. , that Air.

Mr. Edmonds, on went before the Magistrates tit Marlborough.street iSa., sited for summonses against the Vows reporter, and MlN::who could give evidence to prove the guilt of the forma; Magistrate (Mr. Roe) said he had no jurisdiction in such a ease. The Tinto reporter, under the circumstances, will, probably, feel the necessity df rellevipg himself from so serious ao imputa tion. The conduct of the Timer, on this occasion, affords a fresh proof of the liberality of its principle.; and it is not a little singu lar that the sccosnt of the recent occurrences at Marlborough-street have been studiously omitted on that Journal. M r. Edmonds is still excluded from Ala:thorough-street, under the direction of Mr. Conant, who cannot pardon the strictures in which the Morning Chronicle hit indulged." Air. Roe examined by Mr. SCARLETT—I remember the fact of Edmonds being excluded from Alarlborough-street office, and I also recollect his applying to me for the cause of his expulsion, sad I declined giving it to him. 1 believe he represented to me that the reporter of the Times had reported such expulsion in a manner that insinuated that it had taken place in consequence of Edmonds having written the letter to Mr. Spilsbury. Mn Harnett,. when he tune to the office, publicly charged the reporter of the Times s ith writing the letter to Spilsbury. and he exonerated all the other re porters from 'any participation in it. Mr. Ottaststir objected to all tbis as not being imidennt,. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE thought it admissible In support of the justification, and at all events admissible in mitigation of downy& Mx.

Now, however, when a case WWI Ilk" eented before the Jury in which a justification was pleaded, )Sr, Gurney, who had screwed his courage to the sticking, paint, did not venture to give any evidence as to litho the author was. If Air.

Toe Learned Counsel, however, insisted toe! t his publication 'in Bars Life in London was no libel at all.

The denomination of " Times Reporter" was ton general to Al tiny intention on the part of the defendant td attack the plaintiff, and ; at all events, this publication was no libel. The CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up. left it to the Jury teem.

The Jury consulted together for three minutes; and then found a verdict for the defendant. ---- BEL—" THE ACE." Titi REV. E. JAMES D.J. DOWLING RICHARD/I. This was an action brought by the plaintiff; who is the Clemy man of a congregation of Dissenters, in Birmingham, to rerover from the defendant, whet is the proprietor, printer, and publisher of the Age Sqnday newspaper, compensation in damages for injure sustained by !Ice plaintiff, in consequence of the defendant having. in the month of September, 1823, published in the said newspapec a certain fake, scandalous, and malicious libel, of and aniherning the plaintiff. The defendant pleaded Not Guilty. The case for the plaintiff was conducted by" Mr. Searlett, Gerry, and Mr. Brougham; Mr. Common Seigeaat conducted the defence. Mr. ScARLETT commenced DM statement of the plaintiff's case in an almost inaudible tone. If there was any one among the happy institutions of this country which he prized more then another, it was that which he firmly believed would cause those institations to flourish for a time long beyond those of other mull tries which, altho u gh the y . might enjoy the same degree of public liberty, yet did not enjoy that institution to which he al. luded—he meant the institution which afforded him the oppor tunity of having the honour of addressing twelve honest men. That was a amtiment not taken uti by him as a wild theory, adopted without censiderailop, but it was the reedit of the review of the institutions of this countr. When lie spoke of the Trial by Jiry, he could not avoid quoting, upon that silbjeet, words of one of the most distinguished Lawyers, and one of the most ardent admirers of gentiiffe liberty—Mr. Justice Black. stone, who said, in aeludingto i pungent Montesquieu, which predicted the fall of this empire when the Legislative should have become more corrupt than the Executive porloo of the Government, that he (Montesquieu) was mistaken ; for .4 long as the English Trial by Jury should last, it would bring all the institutions of the country to bear one oh the other ; it would pgpetnate what was good, and correct what was bad. To that very able observation the humble individual who then had the honour of addressing the Jury would add, that as long as the freedom of the ,press remain a ' under the wholesome control of the sound discretion of a Jute, so long might it indulge thit freedom in safety, and with. out any apereliension that it could operate tq the detri ment of public liberty ; bit when At cape same before • Jury —a case of libel which no man e( hews/ er feeling *could W. lently suffer under—if • Jury demild use exercise that dis ceetion in such a manner as treold . 4ln on example of the offender aeon public grounds, and steed to the individual in. jured—if a Jury should treat private ria.umny as matte of amuse ment, and fit to lie althea by slight dafaages—then the tyranny of the press could be no longer endured, and sortie other measures must be adopted. He appealed to than as men, tee her there was any , property which they pessested, which they would not rather uteri flee than their moral character-rather than be considered a de ptided man by, those by whom they have hitherto been esteemed ? What was • here, except the expectation of a reward in future life, that furnished such a bailier to vice and immorality as the opinion of society of a man's moral character? If ever the tithe should strive, that of a RIME of honour, who had lived a long life with. opt reproach, the malignity of the press should be permitted to circulate, with impunity, throughout the country, the foulest and the basest insinuations and as . pertions, then would be the time for every man of honour to quit the cduntey, and to seek a, milder Ind more genial land. What was meant by liberty ?—• What was meant by the enjoyment of property, mind which the law had thrown so many protections, that the hi est personage in the land mold not infringe upon it? Wad any man tell him that it meant nothing more than tangible property, which could be the subject of a contract? No; he contended that, la that general liberty, were included fame and character. He did not complain of the liberty of the press in more extensive as optation, but he denied that it would be safe or politic to ad. gait that the liberty of the press should be released from the wholesome correction pf a British Jury. He had made those Marks, because it sas often said. when e case of libel was brought before a Jury, " True, it ii libel ; but then it is not such a libel as calls for damages." The libel to Which he had to cell the attention of the Jury appeared in a Sunday newspaper, called the Age. What the circulation of that ; taper was, he knew not. It had never happened to him to read that newspaper, except in the exer cise of his profession as a Barrister ; but of that peer he must say this, that every page of it clearly demonstrated that it had been es. tablishetl for the sole purpose of mire di gin slander. He should like to know what passed in the office of teat paper. The history of the office would show whether the paper had been set up for public benefit, or for private slander and private emolument. The plaintiff; Mr. James, was a Clergyman, and the Author of some distinguished woiks.. in the way of his own profeseion. He was the Minister of a congregation, at Birmingham, whose doctrines differed, in some respects, from those of the Church of England. In that body of Dissenters there were many gentlemen of high character, integrity, and education, by all of whom no man could be more respected than the plaintiff: In the discharge of his 'leered calling, the plaintiff attended a Meeting, foe the establishmern of an Infant School, at Birmingham. A t t h at Meeting, Lord Calthorpe took the Chair, and Mr. James proposed b resolution. Whether. or not Mr. James made a speech, in proposing that resolution, he (Mr. S.) did not know ; but of this he was ears. fled, that Mr. James did not make arch a speech as was repotted in the ilernaingliam Chronicle of the 2d of September, 1828, which pretended to give a report of that Meeting. The pert ems who had taken any part in the proceedings of that, and dlbilar Meeting'', were singled out as fit objects of attack hs the columns of the Age. It was strange that in any work, having any pretensions to literarr sz ehee si erer, those persons , Time almost exclusive study it was to the human mind, end to bring a portion of learning within Nereb of the hounltleet teed. dual, should he wade ere elledt. spina§ Niter wend Nan because they hsessiskse sewn for elhammeara. tern of the condition Ode liner.ssea.
