LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST IS, 1826. We last night received the French Evening Papers of the 15th. They contain nothing of additional interest re specting Portugal. We have likewise received the Flan ders Mail. An article dated Berlin, 3tli August, indulges in important conjectures relative to the tenour of a treaty st:pposed to have been concluded at Petersbur4h, during the late stay of the Duke of WELLINGTON in that capital, between Russia, Prussia, and this country. The object of this new treaty would seem to concern " all the great ques tions of general policy which at present engage the atten tion of all the Cabinets." We know of no question, ex cepting that which relates to the fate of Greece, that is, in the present aspect of European politics, at all calculated to engross the attention of the principal Powers; and with respect to the affairs of that ill-fated country, it is notori ous that the intervention of Prussia has not till now been 'teemed necessary, nor is it likely that her future assistance his been required. The following are extracts: — [From the Pilots of Tuesday, Aug. 15.1 MAnittn, AUG. 3. The only house that exists at Solar di Cabra consists of three apartments, two of which are occupied by their Majesties; the French General had the other, but not being able to bear the great heat, and the infects which tormented him, he preferred a tent. It is said that one day, when the General had the honour to dine et'the King's table, his Majesty said to him, " Sit down at my right hand, General." " Sire," answered he, " I shall always be there till your enemies arc at your feet." It seems thut the General thinks of remaining a long time in Spain. It is said that the Eng lish have convinced the Queen of Portugal that for her own peace, Anti that of the Portuguese, it was advisable for her to go to En...tined, and that her Majesty has gone GO board a . English ship. M. Ileenehn is still with the King. There are various con- jectures respecting the cause of this long absence from the capital The Council of State meets daily.

[The Moils and Coors Authentipte not published, the 15th (the Assumption), being a holiday.] Extract of a private !ctn.'', dated Napoli di Romania, June Ur— " Our affairs are not yet in a desperate 'sedition. We have oda amongst us virtuous citizens, who know how to animate the anion of oat soldiers ; and our warriors are not deaf to the country's call. The actual state of our city recalls to our remembrance the glorious times of ancient Greece. All the soldiers, the citizens, and wee the women and children, assemble every morning in the Public square, and listen attentively to the speeches of our orators, who stake known to them their dangers and their duties. George Oensdios, long known in Greece by his vast erudition, his high sentiments, and his irresistible eloquence, has been long admired by the people, and was one of the earliest instigators of the revolu tion. In an early speech he had made known the critical situation of the cottutry, the imminent dangers which hung over it, the bent. tits which are to be reaped from independence, and the shame, the alirininint, and the misfortunes, which would allow the success of the Arabs. What could we hope,' said he, 'from those natural anomim of Greece? Do not the innocent victims of Missolonghi point out the path you are to follow, and the end which awaits you if you do not tight ? Defenders of your country !do not forget the wenurable and glorious day in which we were deprived of a hero whilst arresting on the borders of the Achelous the progress of the bwbatous hordesof Se x!rians and Albanians. You ask for money to leave to your families? Well, let all who are present deposit here theirofferings, and I will be the first to give up all my for. tone, which in contained in this purse.' After this speech, enthu. steam rose high ; 300,000 francs were raised in the course of a few hours. Nevertheless, some malcontents continued murmuring, and requiring their arrears. Next day, the eau square of the town was again tilled with people who came to listen to their orators. Gene aloe, at the head of 300 pupils of the Laneasterlan school, appeared among the crowd, who were Impatient to hear his voice. He placed on an elevated seat one of the children, who, with tears in his eyes, invoked ths courage of the palicars in behalf of the country ; ' but if; added he, by your indifference you fall into apostacy, may the impvecations of Ilesven and of the world fall on your heads!' The women joined the children in repeating the last phrase.' Success has attended all these generous proceedings. The soldiers, whose chiefs had refused to march against the enemy before they had re ceived their pay. united themsslves to the corps of Tsavelaa and the other patriots, 3000 of whom left Napoli di Romania on the 23d, and die rest were to follow them three days after." Benr.isr, Avo. s. According to reports generally credited, it seems that wilt a he Duke of Wellington was at St. Petersburgia, a treaty was coo. eluded between Russia, Great Britain, and Prussia, concerning all the great gumboot; of general policy which at present engage the attention of all the Cabinets, and on which a declaration of these three Pewees will be published immediately after the coronation of the Emperor Nicholas. This ceremony MS at fiat fixed fur the month of July. and then jolt off till September, on account of the death of the Emmett. Elizabeth ; but a new Imperial resolutioni has now appointed a less distant time, and it will infallibly take place about the middle of August. From these data, t:te autitentleity of which is not called in nor dam by the politic Cans of thisespitid it must be rammed tha declaration which the three Powers are going to issue, Anil is to appear at no remote period, will embrace the affairs of Areas' rica, as well as those of Europe, and consequently the future destinies of Turkey and Greece. But it would evidently he indulging in idle conjectures to think of determining beforehand the conditions of en act of such vast importance. All we can yen. turn on this subject is to express a hope that the fate of the heroic Greeks, which constantly interests all generous minds, will be fixed in such a manner as to fulfil the wishes which the latter form for them. especially since the report gains ground of the speedy recall of Count Capo de'lstria. Now we have just learnt that this illustrious defender of the cause of the Greeks, who is now at Frankfort, will come to this city, where it is said he has already had a residence taken for some months, and where he seems to intend to wait for the final orders of his august master. Simultaneously with this consoling idea, an afflicting fact presents itself. Strict Investigations are going to he made in the country, to discover the pretended accomplices of the plot which has (ailed in Russia, and which, according to our visionaries, must have ramifications all over Europe;—Le Bar. BRUSSELS, AUG. 19. It seems certain that our relations with tl7e(;;;;taßome have lately become much more friendly. It is affirmed that a Concordat will soon be signed between our Government and the Papal See. AUGUST 14. A letter from Frankfort, of flth Mot, announces an important and speedy change in the policy of the North with respect to the Greeks. The details are promised us. It seems, that what has been said of the arrival of the Count de Survilliers in this city 11:4 premature; some circumstances that have been related are founded on false report*. An Austrian Courier from London has arrived, on his way to Spa and Johannisberg. FRANKFORT, AUG. U. Prince Metternich arrived here this evening, and goes to4norror to Johannisberg. ,1 EitDA m, At: O. lb.—Exchange on London, 40. 10 Tw•o Months, 40. 7. It will be seen, by our Assize Intelligence from Lan caster, that application has been made by Mr. SCARLETT to the Court for the postponement of the trial of Mr. Wm. WARP El Eli), but that Mr. Justice PARK, after a very long argument by Counsel, did consider any of the grounds urged on behalf of the defendant sufficient to require him to grant the application. His Lordship, how ever, expressed his readiness to put it off for a month, in order to give the Jury time to wean their minds from any prejudices which might have been excited by the different articles in the provincial journals ; but Mr. SC ARLETT did not press the Court upon that point. Nte day is . yet fixed for the trial, but it is expected to take place on Fri day, should the rioters have all been tried by that day. Some of our contemporaries have latterly indulged in a strain of malicious comment upon the language that has now and then fallen from the two eminent and learned Judges who preside in the Court of Chancery ; and, by an acuteness of perception peculiarly their own, have disco vered that there exists between those two great men a spirit of acerbity and of personal ill-will, which it is impossible for them to restrain, evi 11 while they arc on the judgment seat. To those who only form their opinions of things by what they read in the columns of a newspaper, it may ap pear that the writer is exercising an ungrateful but indis pensable duty when reniaiking upon these assumed frailties of temper tlisppyed by persons filling such exalted stations, and may therefore be led to acquiesce in the i propriety of the observations which are made upon it. Hut whatever may be the dignity of an Editor, and however loth we may be to compromise it, there is something more dignified still—and that is truth. When words which are uncivil with the purest intention of conveying that meaning only which the fair import of them expresses, are purposely forced upon the attention of the rcadaeby means of suppression of other words, and by the aid of italics . ; and when, forsooth, the garrulous vanity of a long-stand:og shall imminently make remarks dip , are ihtentled to create a smile, and that out of court •sy THE BRITISH PRESS• such smile is therefore given, what shall be said of the candour or dignity of the person who avails himself of these thing for the purpose of writing a tirade of abuse, hypocritically pretending, all the while, to lament the ex istence of an animosity which the smile and the words in italics betray ? No character can be more detestable than tha t which sits watching the very movement of the lips, in order 10 interpret the emotions of the mind, fur the purpose of seeking ground of accusation. The thumb-screw of the Holy Inquisitor is not a more unjust process of arriving at the truth. We have left unnoticed the repeated perver sions of the Chronicle, of what has occurred between the LORD CHANCELLOR and his Honour the Vies-Cita:s -e maxis, because, knowing the object of the writer, we felt assured that the indignation of all honourable minds would frustrate it; but we cannot help noticing the article in that paper of yesterday. It speaks of the " inconve nient and unsatisfactory mode' in which the two elevated personages conduct their warfatc at present ;" and, in its own pure phraseology, proposes " that the battle should be fought out in a fair way," for, " if the parties were allowed to fight it out in a smart conflict, they would pro bably be as quietly disposed towards each other afterwards, as a couple of school-boys after a smart set-to." These observations, the writer says, are elicited from him by the proceedings in Cheer yesterday, and he then quotes as follows: " Ilis Howorra's'eatiarwss, this the bankrept be at liberty to proceed with the action, soil refused to supersede the Commission. " The Loan CHANCELLOR asked why his 110 SOUR bad di rected the vtiort to be tried ?"—Vo direct answer having been given, his Losiasuir repeated the question.)—Mr. Mat said, "he could not answer it. He had a difficulty in answering fbr himself sometimes, much more for others." ilia Lordship added, significantly, '6 lie only thought some Learned Counsel might have been in possession of the reason which governed his 11o:soya in making such an order. He professed that he was wholly unable to understand it." Now, by this mode of reporting the case, it certainly would seem that the Loan t;ItANCELt.oe really meant something significantly, or, in plain terms, that his Lord ship intended :to insinuate that the Vice-CHANCELLOR'S order was made without any reason at all. how different, however, was the fact as it occurred ! After the question was asked by his Lordship, Mr. HEAL» referred to Mr. HART, and that gentleman referred to Mr. HEALD: neither of them appearing to know much about the mat ter, the order of the Viea-CHANCEL LOR having been made more than three years ago. On his Lordship's re peating the question, Mr. HART, in a somewhat hasty manner, rose and said—" Am I here, my Lord, to answer for my brother, or my relation, or for any body but my self? How can I tell ? It is a difficult matter to answer for myself sometimes, mach more for others." The tone in which this was addressed to his Lordship, appeared somewhat petulant ; and, but for the constitutional Oleg, madam of the Learned Counsel, would probably have been more obvious. It was impossible, therefore, for his Lordship to avoid answering it, and the terms of that answer appear to un to be the most natural and proper that could be used cat the occasion, namely, " I only thought some Learned Counsel might have been in posses sion of the reason which governed his Honour in making such order." What could his Lordship say less? And yet the ingenuity of the Chronilee would extract from these words a something poignant and sarcastic, and that was calculated to give vent to a pent-up feeling of on the part of his Lordship towards the Vice-CHAN CELLOR. Such is the perversion of lauguage used by those who, fir party purposes, endeavour to scandalize the highest judicial mithenty 04* It-alts- CITY,TneasnAT EVENING. The English Stock Market has displayed but little energy during to-day. Consols opened at 7641 at which price they remained stationary : eventually they fell, however, to 78i 1 for this Account, and there were sellers at 78/ for the next. The portion of business done, it is necessary to say, has been upon a most limited scale. Exchequer Bills and India Bonds are gradually regaining their station in the Market, the former being at I 6s. and the latter at 255. premium. A report was in circulation that news had ar rived from India; on inquiry, however, it did not turn out to have come suiliciently direct to have any effect on the Market ; inasmuch as it was promulgated on the authority of the Philadelphia Paper of the tell July, which states that a passenger on board the New England, from Calcutta, spoke the Enterprise, steam-vessel, off the Hooghly, on the 4th March, and was informed that Sir ARCHIBALD CAM 1 , . set.t. had arrived at Ava, and had sent an intimation to the KING, that unless the terms of the treaty, previously arranged with his officers, were ratified within twenty four hours, he would destroy the city. The letter con cludes by stating that this, it was presumed, would termi unate the war. A conclusion devoutly to he wished ! In the Foreign Market Mexican and Colombian Bonds have again excited considerable attention. The accounts from Mexico are stated to be satisfactory, and it is posi tively asserted that Commodore Po ntes has taken the com mand of their marine. The accounts also mention that M. POI NSETT would succeed in making a good treaty with the Government of Mexico, without the exception which had been b, fore so strongly pressed. Mexican Bonds, after numerous transactions, varying about 2 per cent., closed at 461. Colombian also advanced to 33. The latest information from La Guayra is dated the 141 July, up to which period every thing remained quiet. BOLIVAR was not expected at that place for some con siderable period, and the advance of Beestcoez against Pats is said to be without foundation. It is quite clear that uninterrupted prosperity cannot be expected in these rising States, and, therefore, these securities, under the best circumstances, will be liable to considerable fluctua tion, even though the default in the payment of the divi dends should be overcome ; while their arrival can alone remove the present cloud that overshadows this description & stock. In consequence of a very large purchase made in allareek-Hatails.(3o,cutti.),sherivent up to 13 j ; but the trans. action in question was the only cause, and which did not appear to be supported by any information from the seat of war. In Shares there is hardly a quotation to be given ; Brazilian have receded to 13 pm. The market in Mincing-lane to-day has been very steady, at prices not inferior to last; and the gloom which pervaded this branch of trade is gradually disappearing. The letters from the manufacturing districts do not state any new facts; and judging from the tenor of them, making the necessary allowances for the different impres sions under which they were written, things appeat much in the same state. Mr. M'AnAst has arrived at blanches- I ter, for the purpose of pointing out situations where alte rations may be usefully made in the roads, and upon which it is contemplated to employ many thousands of the labourers at present out of employ. Though many per sons Islay differ upon the manner its which employment should be afforded, it is quite clear that though breaking of stones may nut be the most desirable, it is at least better than a state of idleness: and no doubt the unfortu nate individuals in question will gladly avail themselves of any opportunities that may be afforded them of bettering their condition by temporary means, until the arrival of a more prosperous period. DISTRESSED PRINTERS.-0 0 Saturday last, some friends of the printing business had an excursion to the Nore, for the purpose of aiding the subscription now rais ing for those out of employ, which are stated to be 800. We are glad to hear that 43/. were added to the stock on the occasion. Mrs. H.

The Scots Ballad of " Tell me, dearest Jamie," newly arranged, with an Accompaniment for the Piano-forte, by Joseph da Pinna, a composer of considerable genius and rising celebrity, and sung with great applause by Misr Love, at Vauxhall Gardens, has tended very considerably to in crease that young lad y'si popularity in the estimation of the musical world. Indeed, it is an air which bids fair to rival many of the numerous musical publications of the present day. So great has been the demand for the Scots Ballad of " The bonnie wee wife" (the words by Burns), that it has already run through two editions.

Several balls of Sea Island Cotton pro duced a few miles from town, which have opened sirce the 10th inst., are now fit for picking, were left at our office yesterday.—Susannah Georgian, July 18. The sportsmen were not generally fortunate in the neighbouring moors on Saturday.

By an arrangement of the Post-office, to which the Prc prictors of the Royal Mail Steam Packets to and from Rothesay have afforded the most cordial co-operation, a considerable additional accommodation is now afforded to the correspondence of that frequented watering-place. Two letter-bags daily arc conveyed, in all practicable cases, from Glasgow to Rothesay, and from Rothesay to Glasgow —one by the earliest boat and one by the latest boat which leaves each place. Letters are now frequently delivered at their address the same day they are written, and a reply can often be obtained in 30 or 36 hours. i-rEn Suicrni:.-111rs. IV—r —n, the wife of a respectable man, made an attempt to drown herself at Kew Bridge, early yesterday morning. She resides in the neigh bourhood in a happy state, as considered by her neigh bours ; and no cause can be assigned for the rash act but a fever. which she caught in a late lying-in. Clark, the boatman, who rescued the unfortunate woman, took her home to her afflicted husband. AN EGG WIIIIIN Et:G.—However strange such an instance of nature's frolic may appear, a curiosity of this description is now in our possession. It was discovered a day or two ago by a young lady whilst at breakfast. On breaking up an egg, she was not a little surprised to find, at the bottom of it, another egg, strikingly perfect in form, and about the size of d blackbird's egg. Its weight still indicates that it was full ; but whether with till the neces sary requisites for producing a bird, a point which the na turalists would be anxious to ascertain, we are unable to say, not feelitr , at liberty to carry our researches so far by breaking the shell. It lies on the side in the outer shell, and bears evidence of its having been produced in the state in which it appears, for although to the eye it seems .to have been placed in the shell, yet, in attempting to retell% it, both shells are found to adhere firmly to each other. The egg which enclosed it was produced by a hen of the ordinary size, and exhibited nothing singular in its shape. —Stirling Journal. FIRE IN FLEET•STREET.SOOII after twelve o'clock last night a lite broke out in the back premises of Messrs. Lloyd and Hodges, the wine-merchants, 16:1, Fleet.street, which, from the peculiar situation of the spot where the fire appeared—immediately adjoining different courts, and every house of them densely In. habited by numerous families, created the utmost alarm through. out the neighbourhood. What great'v added to the eonaternanon of the inhabitants, was the dread of the devouring element finding way into tile large spirit cellars of Messrs. Lloyd and Hodges. The speedy arrival, however, of the parish and Assurance Office engines, and a plentiful supply of water, prevented such a ca. 'amity; but the flame continued for some time with fury to the imminent danger of several houses. The tire was in about an hour got completely under, confining the damage done principally to the premises when it broke out. Several families, however, their anxiety to save tloir little property, had many articles of their furniture totally destroyed by removal. NO R TIIERN CIRCUIT. LANCASTER, AVG. lc, MR. WAKEFIELD. The Court was crowded at an early hour this morning, to h t , o the application to postpone the trial of Mr. William Irsketirld until the next Assizes.

If this proceeding had taken place previously to the Act lidth (leo. 111. then bt the common law the defendant would have had a right to postpone his trial until the next Assizes. That Statute, however, for urgent political purposes, ditected in certain cases a more summary mode of proceeding to trial, and restricted the privilege which every Neon indicted for misdemeanour formerly potaessesl, of putting (II the trial to the next Maize% I shall nut, therefore, dispute, that as the law stands, this defendant ma y n o w b e compelled to take his trial. But that Statute very properly left It to the discretion of the Judge trying the cause, to . . . . . .. . decide whether the defendant should be compelled to lake hit trial, or be allowed to postpone it to the next Assizes. It is to te at discretion that I now apply, and I make the applkatinn on ea affidavit, which states the absence of three or four witnesses, w h o , in the opinion of the defendant's Counsel, are most essenti a l t i e ; defence. It cannot be expected that in a criminal case the affidavit of' the defendant should disclose the nature of the testinionv which the nbsent witnesses are expected to give, because that would lay open the case of the defendant ; it is, I apprehend, suffici ent t e say that the witnesses are absent, and thateheir evidence is me. feriae The affidavit does state that the witnesses are abroad; that they are expect , d to return before the next Assizes, and (what must occur to your Lordship) that there is no process by which they can now be rompclkd to attend. It is, I believe, usual, in moat cares, to defer a trial as a matter of course, on account of the absence of a I material witness ; but this affidavit is directed to the discretion of your Lordship, and it does appear to me to apply in very strong term.. I will say nothing at present of the neture of the offen ce jw ea ar t d er ( trouble ' eherged— of its tendency to mite a strong public feeling — or o f t h e publications which have been made by both skim with a view t o give a direction to that feeling. The question now is, are th e t i re , a a i n n d ie n E o greater eutestancts sufficiently strong to induce the Court to put fertile trial ? I apprehend that it is impressible for the discretion o f t h e Court not to yield to ibis application, especially when no p re j u di ce can arise to any party from deferring the trial, because, as Me pro. "e W:i cir etie ln ld u , s n t o a m pp o e re ar ex a t t ven ti se le w n ill xt be A iric i u zea rre ag d imp. s sl, by also deterring the trial of his brother. It is usual, in the ordinary course of the administration of justice, for the Court to ' say, •‘ Wily have two investigations of the same matter?" Your Lordship well knows that in ordinary cases, where several panne are joined in one indic mcnt, the Court always suggests to the pro. sectitor not to force on the trial of one defendant *hen it is material to try the rest. Above all others this is a owe in which such a suggestion is celled fee, because it will be perfectly impossible, she/ the trial of William lieakefield, fur any hope to be entei twined of an unbiassed administration of justice when the other cause comes on to be tried. It does appear too, that the prosecutors themselves have thought this prosecution so important—they hove conceivnl it to be a proceeding of so much gravity—as to require in its direction the assistance of my Learned Friend the Attorney-General, *horn I ant always happy to see here, and in this matter shall be glad to see twice. and who has been brought down specially in aid of the dietinguielied talent of the Northern Circuit:. I think it right to say that that very proceeding shows the opinion which the pew. tutors have of this grave and important proceeding. There hes been no proceeding under the statute of Philip end Mary for upwards of a century—there have been no cases for so long a period to illustrate the statute ; so that the de 'veleta may feel desirous CI speak it with the mallow sincerity and de iference to your Lordship) not to rely on the discretion of a single Judge. but to remove the cause, by certiorari, to another tribunal, which will not only be more select, and more likely to be free from those prejudices which the nature of the ewe is likely to inspire, but where he may have the opportunity of assisting the judgment of the Judge who tries him, by an appeal to another tribunal. It must too be a matter of the greatest ten aviation to a Judge trying such a cause, to reflect that his decision will not be final, but that an opportunity will be afforded to the Court from which the record comes, to revise owl correct hie judge went. Whatever confidence, therefore, I may have in your Lad s! ie's opinion, I think it my duty to say that the defendant ii en title', hi a case of such peril, to have the g reatest delibeevien and the greatest caution, anti every assistance that the high:st learning and the highest authority can give, in order to satisfy him, that it I e be convicted, there hat been no error in his Couneel or his Judge. In • rtlinary castes of mistlemeenour, it' an application I e made to tie Court of King's Bench for a Special Jury, on an allegation that it is a fit cause for a Special Jury, tt is the practice to grant it as a matter of course. Sly . Learned Friend will, I dare soy, tell me that there is a clause in the Act which enab'es 8 defendant to apply for a certiorari before the indictment is found. But this Act has evidently not been prepared by lawyers, because, as it does not enable the defendant to apply for a certiorari out of Term time, it does not apply to cases whin: no Term intervenes between the finding of the indict ment and the trial. I Jo not say that the present has been such a case: but it is quite clear that if ICilliant Wakefield had applied to the Court of King's Bench fur a certiorari, the applica tinn would not have been listened to. In the first place, it could eot be known whether the indictment against him would be for felony or a misdemeanour. The Court, when it admitted him to hail, cautiously abstained from giving any opinion as to the quality of the offence. The brother of the defendant was afterwards taken into custody ; and after a long investigation of circumstances, re lating only to hint, the Magietrates committed him for felony. It was quite impossible that NVilliiim Wakefield could know, mull the result of the Grand Jury's deliberation, whether he would be con:mired for felony or misdemeanour; and that circumstance would have been made a decisive objection, if in the course of last Term he had applied for a certiorari. The Court would have said to bier, " flow can you ask us to grant a certiorari before you know whether a bill of indictment will not be found against you for felony ?" the certiorari having the effect of removing all indictments whatsoever. Again : suppose that being indicted with his brother, Ed rd Wakeheld, and the brother being committed for felony, „william inikt field had applied for a certiorari, Edward Wake. Weld could not be bailed ; and the answer of the Court to William Wakefield would hare been—that, in Cana where there were joint defendants, the Court did not grant a certiorari to one without th 3 other, unless both concurred in the application. The case then conies to this: It appears that a bill of indictment has been found 'Onst both the brothers for a mitelemeanour, and that a bill for conspiracy has also been found against them both. That one of these &tenth:tree (I mean :Ur. Edward Gibbon Wakefield) is not within the Statute, and ii theretOte entitled to put off his trial, I hold to be betoad all doubt. Mr. Justice PAILIK—I have already acted upon that opinion. 31r. SCAR LETT—Suppose then that William Wakefield is now tri,d, and the prosecutors are gratified by having two trials instead of one, what will be the result? When Eileen) (iibbott Wake field applies for a cr rtiorari, the Court of King's Bench will either say, e• We cannot grant a certiorari when one of the defendants has been convicted t' rit will say, '• That conviction being dis posed of, a certiorari cannot issue as it regards the other de fendant." .11 r. Jusece PAair—ls it always a matter of course to grant a cet ti.earl i Mr. SCAN LETT—I pledge my experience to the Ike. Mr. Justice PAI4I-1, too, have had some experience. Mr. SCARLETT—It is the every day's practice in the Court of King's Bench for a party to apply the a certiorari, for the purpose of gettmg a Special Jury, and for the Court to grant the teutien as a matter of course. I have made a hundred motions of diet Lied without any one appearing to open se then). But suppose that the Court grants a certiorari to Edwurd 'Wakefield, Open see the situation of the ewe. Suppose William Wakefield is acquitted, and Edward Wakefield actianted. Then the principal (fee thought in these proceed ngs technically there is no principal and accessary, yet in mason these brothers must be viewed in that light), the prat. cipal, I say, is acquitted, and mark the ridicule which must rest o : the whole administration of justice, if the principal offender be a - quitted, and the accessary be convicted and suffer punishment. Mr. Justice PARK—You are aware that all the , e mutat Were amply discussed in the cute of Stamp Sutton Cooke. In that case the principal has not yet been tried, and yet the accessary has been convicted an I sentenced. Mr. SCA n LET T —The principal in that case has not been con wicte I, for the best of all poosible reasons, because he has not yet Yew found. If one defendant absconds and the other remains, then no doubt the party remaining must be compelled to ans or. The present case it, in the opinion of the defeetiatit'e Counsel, a fit cute for a Special Jury. I only medico one case at all anelogeus to it, and in that your Lordship I believe was Counsel. It was a presecutien by the Rev. Mr. Frank, of Yorkshire, against two parties, fur conspiracy to bring about the marriage of the son of the prosecutor with the daughter of one of the defendants. The Court of Ki g's Bencit in that case granted a criminal information against the parties, and did tiot think it su ffi cient to lea se the case to the ordinary tribunals of the country. I think yoar Lordship conducted the defence. It was the case 0; a young man of nue very strong capacity, and who 1 be• hove has since been declared loops* of managing his ow n affair/4 and who had been in away by the father of the girl, and carried off' to Scotland, and married.
