With respect 10 the state meta that Luill C. S.

Mr. Hunt, he was authorised publicly to state, was ex tremely sorry fur it. As to the remaining publications, be admitted that they contained matter which ought not to have Spreiteil, tail Wl4lll could not be fairly or properly applied to Lord C. S Chuicliill. Hut, when it wee recall lected that pruceecdings were instituted iu the Court of Bench, and that an indictment had been preferred on the came subject, it was not surprising that some degree of irritation should be excited. The Learned Omuta then called— Mr. James Bradshaw, brittle-dealer, of Sloane•terrace, who deposed, that on the 20114 of M.

Be fore him there wss a chaise, in which were a gentleman and Iwo ladles. There was, at the same time, a chaise with a gentleman in it, coining tuvrards Loudon. Wetness saw the gentleinati in the delinet endeavour to pass between the chaise iu which were the ladies, and that which was coming to town The vehicles came in collision, and Mr. Tooke was thrown out oat ibe,right side, and on elderly Indy Olt the kft of the chaise. if the deniset hid bees checked for a moment or two, the accident would not have happened.— Mr. Tooke was driving moderately. If Lord C. S. Churchill had nut endeavoured to pass between the two vehicles, no accident wuul•l have taken place. Cross.ermairerd.—Hr, witness, thought the two chaises had passed him about tea yards, wheu the accident occurred. He could nut see what Mr.Toulie did to his horse. Prior to the accident he slid net know Mr. Tooke, but he had since Leconte acquainted with him. Mr. Tooke had seen him about this business. He did not see Mr. Tooke's carriage swerve to the left M . right before it was struck by that of Lord C. S. Churchill—but be could net swear that it did not. Mr. Isaac Tooke stated, that, on the 10th of May be was proceeding in a chaise to Chelsea, accompanied by Mrs. Gilding and Miss Shed" in. Ile heard souse person call out, " Hoy r' and, on ►ooking routed he save the denote' of Lord C. S. Churchill. At this time there was a chaise coming to wards London. Lord C. S. Churchill dashed hawed' the two vehicles so suddenly that he had no notice of it. He could not say how quick he was driving, but hr was going very fast. His wheel came in cooled with that of witness's chaise, and drove the off wheel against a post. The shafts were broken, and the chaise-body fe!l forward. At this moment a chaise, driven by Mr. Harris, toward' London, was abreast of the two helusiging to witness and Lord C. S. Churchill. lie had been in the coustatit habit of driving all his life—and had kept the horse and chaise he drove when the accident hap pened, fur three years. The horse was • quiet one. Cross.araetined —Witness had been a wine merchant for 18 years. Its bus own opinion, he was a good driver. On two ucca<ious very ',Attie accidents had happened with their horse—one tot Clapham Common, the other near Eseter—when the animal was stung by a fiy. Witness did not defend this action—neither did be authorise any para graphs to be inserted its the newspap►rs. When Lord C. E. Churchill called out " Loy !" he might have been in waver satian wirh the two women. It was impossible for him to go closer to bin side of the rood than lie was when Lord C. S. Churchill approached. If he attempted to go nearer he must hie.. ruts against the post. He mentioned the acci dent to the beadle, who was to collect the witnesses for the Coroner's layest...bnt he gave him no instructions as to the wituesses who were to be summoned. When witness was taken from under his chaise, 1w assisted Miss Sherwin to Mrs. Itobe►tsnss's. He ordered her doilies to be cut, if it were necessary, bat he did not cot off her pockets. Mrs. Gurling was ill fur a ls afterwards. Wit ness never published any paragraph on the subject, except one, contradicting • statesnesit that the accident had been occasioned by his ruauitig the chaise against l.urd C. S.

His Lordship knew from Mr. Rowe where he lived, but never called toe or sent to him. lie slid nut summon Lord C. S. Churchill to be examined on the Coroner's Inquest, as it was not his business. Mary Smith witnessed the accident, and was of opinion that it was occasioned by the rapid driving of Lord C. S. Churchill. John Lester saw the accident, bat could not tell to whom blame was attributable. Daniel Margate also saw the accident, end said it was at tributable to the furious striving of Lord Churchill, who was driving at the rate of 12 or 14 miles an hour. He measured the road at the place where the mischief was dons it was 19 feet 10 inches wide. In cross-examination this witness de•idi ever having seen either of the Mr. Mai 1111 l igs (the Plaintiff's atturnies), or that be said Lord Churchill was only striving at the rate of Noir or five miles an hour. Mr. Gill, clerk to Mr. Platt, saw the tart witness measure the road ; it was 19 fret 8 inches wide. The libels were then put in and read. Mr. Stirling produced the depositions of the witliesse. examined 'wrote hiss. Jones, one of those witnesses, at tributed the accident to Lord Churchill. This man was uut Mr. Fslhrook and his son, the undertakers who accompa nied Bradshaw Bud Mary Smith, stated that they were from forty to fifty yards frets Mr. Tuokc wheu the accident hap pened. The Messrs. Manning were then called, and they stated that they had spoken to Margate, and that he had told them Lord Churchill was not driving faster thou at the rate of four or five Mika ass hunts Mr. Wita-tasts, iu commenting upon this last evidence, admitted that Margate was not to be believed. Mr. SCARLETT having replied, Mr. Justice BATLEY summed up the evidence. He was of opinion that upon two of the I.bels the Plaintiff was clearly' entitled to recover, and upon the third he left it for them to say, us • review 011ie evidence, whether there was any foundation for imputing the accident to the furious driving of Lord Charchill—sur whether it was attributable to the imprudence of Mr.Tooke himself. The Jury retired, and after an absence of two hours, found • verdict fo► the Platutiff, SOl. on the two fir.' COllllO, and a verdict fur the Defeuslatit upon the third count, in which the charge was, that the Plaiuttff had produced the accident by furiously driving. Mr. Justise t➢AYL[Y thotight this verdict would have a very useful ruled. The verdict was not returaed till eight o'clock in the evening. On Friday last the da r ner at the Norwich Assem bly-rooms, in celebration of the birth of the Right Hon. W. PITS, was attended by 190 Gentlemen of that city and county. In consequence of the la mented death of the eon of the Hon: Col.

The Bill will undoubtedly Ile lost. In a Committee on the Assessed Taxes the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed, that all persons paying Assessed Taxes might he per mitted to compound them for three years, taking the assessment for the present year as the ground of the composition. With reference, however, to this point. the House and Window Taxes are to he separated from the other As sessed Taxes, and in a composition of the former, the compounder shall pay five per cent. but in a composition of the latter 10 per cent. on the origi nal assessment. Sir M.W. Rio LEY forcibly objected to this mode of assessment, and strongly urged that a general average of 5 per cent. should be adopted. The circular levitation to the Mewls of Miuisters to meet Lord CASTLEREAGH OR Monday next, is the most pres.irig of any preceding card of the kind. It is sigma by Lord CASTLEREAGH himself, and requests their company to hear a proposition that is to he submitted to Parliament, of the' most important kind.
