PuLlacula'a its tenor. "Castaaa will sot do, if it be against the Great Charter." ride Dino. May it please your Grace. You have been called upon by a writer, subscrib ing himself Publican, to• direct the Clergy of your province, twice in each year, to waste a por tion of the time allotted to politic worship, in read ing to their respective congregatioui a cert..iii Statute called Magna Charta. Howeer seriously your Glace might be inclined to adopt . this advice, it is much to be feared, that, after one is,ay (the curiosity of the gond people of England bring sati•6ed), your Suffragans and inferior Clergy would read this famous Charter to bare walls and empty seats. This appeal to your Grace, indeed, most be in tended rather for a display or facetion•ness, thou en expression of the writer's real senrimeurs; for the latter would *hew an ignorinite of the cause of this legislative direction, of which I am unwiiling to accuse Poblicole, whom I know to be a Scholar and a Gentleman. It is very true. as Pub!kola states, that Edward the First. iu his Confirmation of this Great Charter. wills " That the same Charter shall be sent under the Great Seal to Cathedral Chemises throughout the Realm, there to remain. and to be read before the people too times in the year." But. your Grace can inform the good People of England. that at the tinie of making this famous Cmer. and eves long after its confirmation in 1397. the excellent art of printing had nut been discovered—and consequently the community at lar.Te had no intim of referring to it—it therefore h-came nect-etry. if publicity was desirable, that the most efficarions means should be adopted for that end. and wine were so likely to 'tweet:ll, as eroding an au cupy to each cathedral church. there to be openly read by the clergy to the peo ple. When the art of printing superseded the im portance of authenticated written copies. and the public were iu possession of rail references to the law. the castors of ruidia.,•• the statute in the ehurehes fell into disuse, limit at length was totally dm_ pped. Your Grace will therefore obterve. Ws., by compelling Or: Clergy of your province to Fella ft this avelr, psokunlgutial. you would :se wiping the Laity a very loo,ir coin;dunear, is it must plainly shew your op:ttiou of their extreme ignorance in being unable to reed for themselves—a rudeness which your Grace is too well-bred a man to he guilty of. _ _ _ - The first Letter of Public° , la is rather a Text for his future Comments, than en argumentative dis cussion. He sow out wish • detail of the iustiner and period of granting and continuing Msgua Charta. He then requests your Grace, in pur suance of the clause in the mid Statute, to direct the reading the same io the Cathedral Churches within your Province, and , the pronouncing of the curses against the Breakers of the PfOVII.IOUII it contains. Of the two pc juts of this request, I trust I have asucit•ely shewu why a compliance with the first wowlii be nugatory; and as the stoond would von preheud divers of His Majesty's Judges Itarurd in the LAW. wad others of 'Neal cri-dd, no thaoks would be due to your Lordship for prououticing these dreadful anathemas. The doctrine relied open in a further part of the Lotter is not tree to the extent emaciated for ; theo,rh tatilied by the express authority of any Lord Coke. Pub!team supposes a person setting up n Cus tom against any of the insults of Magna Charts. He who is injured by the exercise of such a cus tom,. would plead the Great Charter, mid that the Act of Edward declares, a That all Justices, Sze. kc. shall allow the saute Clatter pleaded before them iu all its points 1 and if they give any judg. meal contrary to the points of the Charter, it mall be undone and holden for nought, for no custom can prevail against an empress Act of Parlimuent." Nothing can be more true, than that the general rule of law is, that ell Act of Parliament ciall be preferred to, and overpower custom or ;inscription; but the very statute under cousideratioa affords en exception to the rule. It is thereto eaacted, that fors semen's dower, shall be assigned is her the third part of rill the land, which was her husband's in his life-time. By the eastern of Kent. it i. notorious, that a woman is duwahle of the 11..4 of her hitslusias kills; and in asserting such her tight in a Coon of Justice, the heir might hold out the statute of M agna Ch ar g e , s uyiuq , •• Here is an Act of Pat , 111110ela which expressly gives you wily one-third." The *i low would reply, to By the curtain of Kent I can entitled to half." Now, in what m ismer would the Judge decide ? For the heir with the Act of Par liament in his hand, or for the widow with the custom only iu her favour ?—For the latter sneely. So that here is a distiuct iustance from Napes CRarte itself, by which at appears, that cm.toto will sometimes overcome even a positive and solcono enactment of the Legislature. I laving thus stated to vont Grace, my reasons for detioning to pretar a thankless iUrfe•Se of &my upon tlr Clergy ; and having, rporeoicr, accounted fur my dir-eitting from the fallible doc trines of - Pubtiroti, w.it i ch your wilier pl met from aro ; sod, lilt I address Sun again, shall re imam, Yr.nir r " TnE,Nan.in nu.

Joseph Harris and Elizabeth Price were indicted fur unlawfully and riotously assembling, with iiivoy other persons, near the dwelling-houee of Ales ander Fairweather, on Satgiglay the of June. and Sunday the tat July, ad threatening violence against the said Alexander Fairweather. Price, who was included io the indictment, did not appear; and it was stated by Mr. KNAPP, Counsel fig the prosietution, that as ;she lived with Hank and was at the time pregnant by him, she he .opposed to act Under, his direction ; and therefore her non-appearance was sot of import ance. It appeared from the depositions of the Prosreu. tor (Fairweather), who gore his evidence in a style which convoked the Court with laughter, that lie is the laudlord of a public•house at Strand-on-the Green, in the parish of Cniswick, and a strong friend to the interest of Mr. Maiisiogriitg; the De fendant, in. the other hand, was an equally stvr -11401111 supporter of Sir Freincis Burdett, aid by trade a fisherman. This coutrariety of pultucy had occasioned much bickeriog between the par ties, who were neighbour. ; and on Saturday the 30th of June, the 'Mendota (with 20 or 30 per- Rom). including E. Price, stood before toe Prose cutor's door. sod swore that". that bi--dy Mainwar ing house (meaning Prosecutor's) should come down." It did not uppear that any person but the Defeudaut at the bar, and Mrs. Price, made use of this violeht. lauguege; the others inrrelv amused themselves shouting a Burdett for ever and no violence was attempted. On the following day. Sunday, Defendant sailed about the river. bearing Sir Francis Burdett's colours on the top of a flag staff, sad Mr. Meinwaring's under them, encircled by a piece of black crape. iudicative of mourning. After he had atnused himself in navigating the river with the streamer of defiance flying at his mast-head, I.e. between eight and uine o'clock in the evening v fleeted a landing near Fairweather's house, noel, to use the words ui the Prosecutor, who is a native of North Britain. anal need much gesti culation, " rease4 the standard of rebellion aud in surrection near his door;" (the standard to which witness alluded was the flag-staff which I tarts had takeu from the boat.) The Defendant posted him-. self in the front of the house, and by his riotous conduct, in a very short time drew a mob round him. to silicon he tried out.

None of the people. however, with the excection. MIS. Price. lobo came out of the hoot wit h Defendant. appeared to take an active put. Three or four of them occa sionally 'limited, " Burdett for ever ! No Main. oaring!" But Mrs. Price abused the Prosecutor very much. John Emery corroborated the evidence of the last witness. Ile also gated, that on Sunday even ing he advised the Uef►ndent to go away, adding, " Yin are peeing your way to the gallows." To which the Defendant answered. with much cool. nem, " I know 1 shell be hanged, and that (point ing to a tree. sear the Prosecutor's door) shell be my gallows." The witness was of opinion, that the great body of the persons assembled had collected merely to look on. A gentleman of the name of Upton at length went for a constable, and the crowd dispersed. Defendant, however, returned in about half an hour. and renewed his threat•; he was again warned to take care of what he wavutymt. when be answered, " lie did'nt care, for he had o friend in Brentford, and another its London, who would bail him even for murder .f" John Upton, it Lieutenant on half-pny, deposed to the same effect. Being alarmed at the number of people assembled, he had procured a constable. He distinctly heard Defendaut say to the mob, ' 4 Set tire, mewl fear not ; horn. sink, Ind de-trnv the latter, being a sea-phrase, lie suppose was added on account of Defeudant being a seaman. This evidence was corroborated by six other wit. ne, , se.: from their depositions it was clear that the people hail assembled in consequence of the vocife ration of Harris and Price. and 'wring the Bordettite flag flying in the front of Prost:um?' lirou.e, hot without ant• intention of doing mischief ; not more than six or tight of them even amu•t•d themselves with shouting.

Bunten for ever !" which drew from Prosecutor it inure illiberal expression. At that time flank had nut left the boat ; but hearing leis chere emi treated with such rude language. he came to her assistance. and the row commenced. The CHataMA\ intimated to Mr. Curwood, the Defendant's Counsel. that he would not trouble him fur a reply. He then shortly observed to the Jury, that it was en indictment for a riot, but no evert act appeared to have been committed. The conduct of the Defendant was highly improper; but the persons whom his behaviour had hero the means of collecting together, appeared to he all neighbours, solely actuated by theiricurio•it v. none of wham bad shown any mischi lute The Jury returned • verdict of acquittal; and the Defendant, after receiving some wholesome ad. vice, was ordered to enter into recognizance% under articles of the peace which tied been exhibited against him—this, the CPIAlam ate observed to the Jury, would answer every purpose or a re:Arai:li.
