LAW INTELLICENCE. COUNT OF Kin's BENCH, JuNE THa BING C. JOHN ROBICIMON SEEL, This Defendant was brought up to receive Judg mint for sending a threatening letter, amounting to 'challenge, to Mr. Munnings, a merchant in the iv. k appeared that Mr. Munnings had obtained a Rank acceptance from this Defendant, a whip with i,KOI. ; but w hi c h, broker, which he filled up twang referred to arbitration, was limited I" , 3001. This 1.1-t. -um not being paid when due, the parties bappens.l to meet upon the Exchange, and Mr. Winnings called Bell a rascal, for not paying his ic,.epto,ce, upon which Mr. Bell called the prose cutor a liar. Mr. filiinnings then knocked him amen, ind Mr. Bell, upon getting home, imme diately sent him the challenge for which he was in dicted. Lord ELLENnonouuli, after hearing the counsel for and against the Defendant, thought that thi s nig a case which ought never to have proceeded to Undouhtelly the letter had been written in the most unequivocal terms of irritation, but the Defendant, who was a young man had beets first cnarged as a rascal for not paving his acceptance, md although he retorted the term of liar time the Prosecutor, who then took advent&of I • b e superior prength, and beat the Defendant, yet they mast target that they were men if they did not make al lowance for a letter tinder such irritation. It was linwever Llie . duty . of that Court to watch over those who are nicety to arena tne peace, and at the saute time not to let any person fall a sacrifice in the outrageous passion of another. It appeared that justice would be best answered by tasking the Di.. fendaut find sureties to keep the peace. Mr. Justice. Gaon then pronounced the Judgment of the Court, which was, that the De iendsoi be imprisoned for one calendar month in the Marshalsea Prison, and find sureties fur 1,0001. to keep the peace for three years. Tim RING e. GEORGE MANNERS. The Defendant was brought up to receive the Judgment of the Court for a Libel, printed in the poblicetion called The Satirise, against Mr. Haller, a magistrate in the county of Becks, awl a gentle man of fortune. Mr. Manners not having taken the assistance of Counsel, attempted to speak in his own defence ; but was frequently cautioned by the Court not to ag4 ravatetke original libel, by making further sia•einent. gf a similar nature. He alleged, that be bad only attacked Mr. fillet's public charac ter, for having become the patron of Miss Taylor. /10 acknowledged he was the proprietor and ori &iota establisher of The Satirist, and that it had put a great circulation. Libellous matters might be inverted in it without his knowledge, as he only went to the office twice or thrice a week. The first of the libels of which he stonsi convicted, had been forwarded to bins by the post, sod he had used every passable means to ascertain the truth or false hour: of what ig contained.

Mr. Taylor smeared, that before lie could give orders for the admis , ion of those ticket., he must examine his books and papers, as he con ceived he had paid the principal part of the accept ances ; and, in fact, no person was admitted on the tickets. tinder these circumstances the Plandiff brought his action. The defence set up Wa?-14t. That the transac tion was tinctured with usury —as, be-ides the legal interest, the privilege of entering the Opersahouse was superadded.—lint, as there an a clause of re demption its the deed, and as no specific profit was proved to have accrued from this liberty, the Court decided against the plea. The id head of defence was, that the Defendaut had paid the money.— Two of the Bills of Exchange had been discharged; and it was contended by the Defendant's Counsel, that the profits which accrued from the tickets, during the long period they W e re in Plaintiff's hands, it being customary to let them out by the night, would more than couwerbalatice the sum , due on the third Bill of Excha,ge. , I Lord Chief Justice MANSFIELD said, that al- though the p►ofits thus obtsiiied ought to he se counted for, still that dtd not support the Defend ant's plea, which was, (list he had paid the sum specified.

THE IOLISH Littr:EffS. Our readers will recollect that these troops dis tinguished trh:mtelves in the battle of Aliment by their harthility in mangling the wounded found up on the held. From the followiog extract of a ()I vide letter, we hear that these savages have met their deserts:— StArientrtt, June .25. We are quite delighted to state, from uuquestior able authority from Lisbon, the almost total aunt hilation of those sanguinary villeins the P o llan Lancers, who have met a just retribution for their enormities committed on the wounded that fell into their power at the battle of Allister+. A tele graphic dispatch arrived at Lisbon previous to the sailing of the fonorire, which announced, in few words, the almost annihilation of those Polish hatchery. ft should be understood, that since the fatal effect of the red flag at the bottle of Ailment regional our cavalry, this spezies of our force has been daily and hourly ueel to the waving of red flags before their eyes, and ui last were accustomed to Arad the ratite. 'lle 3d and 4th dragoon guards fell in with (shout the sth of June) a largy body of those Polish gen:l , - men, and. charging them w ont ti,toreit-11. gen t ile waved their flags in va;11; our horses advanced with their usual vigour, uisappalled, and the Po. lish lancer* , loing outflanked, were forced ovg.iin't a wall. and almost entirely rut sip by the-rape to of our cavalry. Ouly eight. it is said, who were not despatately wousided, were %awed bi the hettatit• nity of our dragon guards. This is what we may call retributive justice ; and me hope. if any more such ferocious allies are with the. French array, they will take a useful lesson. that cruelty to u fallen enemy is only wrathy an unenlightened sa vage.
