Mr. TALTOVRI), in the Sintufe c.l lb% Scarlett, who bad not entered Court at that early hour, stated that this wax an indictment brought by Hilton Jolliflr, Esq. M.P., angles' the defendant, foe wilfully and scandalously publishing several malignant lilac's upon his character. The defendant appeared to have gut a neEion into his head, that Mr. JulliWe's family were retaining from nn. I lawfully, certain property to which he usserteil that he had a claim, and, acting uncle, this delusion. had practised and prrsivar.ti in using every species of annoyance against 31r. Jolliffe, hy publish ing rod circulating against him hand-bills of the most intinznia. Wry and libellous description. John Wells was called to prove the publication of the hand bills in question. Ile said he knew the defendant Poulin{,, who was • imui winetimen in the habit of getting his living by the sale of fruit, and had often herrtd him talk of his claims upon the Jolla* faintly, and his determination to pursue them, by annoying 31r. Jullide in all quarters, and circulating hand-bills to his prejudice. He met him last September, and said, " Cooling, how do you get on with Mr. Jollitfe!" He answered, " I sin still at him, here's a handbill 1 have out against him,, and I'll stick to him for it." 14 produced the hand-hill.

Now, the his, he always understoml, made a lunatic irre sponsible for his actions. and yet taste lie was called a lunatic by Mr. Jolliffe • and by the ante man had responsibility fermi upon him, coercively, contrary to the h rite et/moused of the law. Ile went h.. to say, that he never could get the antalleet settlement from Mr. Jollifre, except casual rum. of money, such as half • crown at a time; and what he said in the bill was true—he had' made every effort by I ter, hat there poverty again stopped Inni, and he could get no at tomey to enable him to proceed in fiteato ;were's. The defendant, in his &bear M . Mr. Joildre, did taut confine him self to the mere statement of what he asserted to be hit own wrongs, but travelled into the faini%. history of that gentleman, in her alleged general transactions in life; told a long story about the 'dealing of some church plate, the selling the borough of Peters field to 'William !hailer Best, and in other individuals at diffkrent iniervala, although he (Mr. Jollifl) had no right to have in , fiiieuce in that borough, moth less to sell it contrary to law to any body.

Ale. J ostler Livr t.Enstr summed up the case for the Jury, and told them, that in his judgment the publication in quest. tion was • yeas libel on the prosecutor, and if they were of the same opinion, they would say so by their verdict. The Jury immediately found the delendant-aDuilty. PERJURY. THE Kinn e, This was an indictment for perjury against Mary Ilailey, wbo lived L. servant with Thomas Silvester, in January, 1822. Tar NTOU stated that the following was the sulieumtive al legation in this ow e. It appeared that at the time in question, a t:ocninission of Bankrupt was issued against Thomas Silventet, but In the course of the same year he succeeded in obtaining the eignaturee of a majority of his creditors ; soon after his success in this respect several of the creditors applied to the Lord Chancellor to stay the certificate, and it because necessary in the course of proceedings to serve a notice upon the Bankrupt, and out of this the perjury arose. The solicitor's clerk (lfendetson) went to make the necessary service at the Ilanktupt's house, and saw • servant who denied that Silveeter wan at home, but they overheard his voice hem the parlour; that his wife came out t admitted he was et Inane, that it would be Inconvenient fur him to come out, but that they might leave any message or paper for him, which should he delivered. These facts were stated in affidavits ; nevertheless, • servant, Mary Halley (the defendant) came fitewani and swore that she was the person who, on the uremia% alluded to, answered the clerk at the door, that they did not ask for her master, nor leave for him any process, and it was for this alleged perjury the present indictment watt 'nought. John Mier Jones produced and proved the preliminary docu meats o' the liankrupt case in the Court of Chancery. lin the production of Mary flunky). affidavit, Ale. 41 NOR EIVII objected to It production, on the ground that as the female who swore it was described as signing with ber attack, it ehould first be proved that it was read over to her, and ex plained before she utilized the mark. 31r. Russet t. replied.—lt appeared from • reference to the Clerk in the liarkrupey Office, that the affidavit was tiled in its present form. Two °thee Officers In the Document Office of the Coun of Chancery were then rolled to prove what was the Lord Chancellor's practice an taking affidavits. Prom their testimony it appeared that the necessary rule of the office was, to take the jurat upon swear ing the party who wink /Ives the tatiiihrit, that it was " truly, clearly, and audibly" read over to the pertain who subscribed, with a mark beffire be or she was brought to swear the same, and this form did not appear on the face of the document to have been ful filled by the witness who had this affidavit flied. Mr: rat vTmfi, for the prosecution, said that the evidence did not apply here ; slit' practice just mated regulated merely the prac tice in the public office, but this was sworn before the Abutter in his private house. 111 r. Justice LIT TI.V.DAI.I was of opiniatl, that the authentica tion ought to he equally complete in either cane. A party who might be in ignorance of the cements of' a ;taper to which hoot she' subscribed, could not commit perjury. He would, however, Nave the point. The case of' perjury, as a matter of fact, might still be tele& although there was reason, in point of bum, to reject this alli. davit, still there most be lemur evidence that the parry knowingly and wilfully committed the net on which the indictment was hounded. Had they that evidence? Mr. TAUNTON said, that in obedience to his Lordship's wishes, he would go directly to that evidence. Mr. Ihll, a stationer, said. that his clerk engrosiecl the affidavit now handed to him, in his preeence. The party to swear this MIS. dirk, who came to hie office with Mr. Siasester, watt a female: she was a stranger to him, but he could not say the affidavit was reed over to her& it was not read in his (sentence. B. Eldridge, the previous witseev'n clerk, alto was present at the time, could not say that the affidavit was read over to the marks-woman. 'rile servant to Isle. Trower. the Master in Chancery, was next y e lled. but he knew nothing of this affidavit, of Silver/tar, of Mary Bailey, or of her mark. (Much laughter.) lie certainly went one day to Hatton. grnlen, and was told by Mary Ilailey, that she Ind swims an aflidat it, anti signed her mark, and that she gave It to Al r. Silveater -thee wits all he knew about the matter. lie knew nothing of Mary Bailey. Mr.Tnow ea, the Master in Chancery, was relit examined. (Ile sat on the bench during his examination.) The affidavit now handed to hint hid his 'denature, alai was 'morn before him, he believed at his house, on the tiering of the day on which it was ilated—s man and a woman attended at the time. Ilia general practice wee to ark the party beinging the affidavit, " is the jllllll regular ;" and he mimeses' that he had naked that question here in the regular manner ; lie had no reason to doubt it. It was not, however. read over in his presence ; they take it for granted, that that is done by the party bringing the jurat„-- the 34/1/PUT sit rat called upon toliave all the affidavits rasa over before himself in the presence Of the yarded. Croehexamined by :11r. Aeries:we —lle certainly should not have taken this affidavit in the manner he lied done, had he been apprised that the petty was unable to read or write. Ale. Justice 11.1TILICDALE said, that the sasignntcnt of perjury could nM he sustain el upon an indictment signed in this n antler. Mr. Tau tiros wad, that he had another 11111114Vit inure ocular in form, and which would, he trusted, sustain the charge of perjury. The eecon4l affidavit was put in and proved by Mr. Trower to have been sworn before hint at his oilier. Ale. A outitire objeeted to the produrtino of this &than% it, as , it referred to the former one, which was deciatal to be ini- ' perfect. 'rise Court cortererta in this objection, and the Jury found a verdict of Nut Heathy. OLD D.4ILEI' SATIKPAT, Jusg S.

In the course of Saturday `Sir Peter Laurie addressed the Court, and begged to take their advice u to the manner in which he should act under the circumstances, which he felt it his duty to state to theut. On Thursday evening he went round, in his private dress, to the doors of the gallery of the Court, and sought admis sion. Ile was obstructed by two persons, who were not his officers, and whom he did not know. These persons stated themselves to be officers appointed by the Court of Common Council, and, under that authority, they now exercised the power of obstructing the ad mission of persons to the Court. As Sheriff; he (Sir Peter Laurie) knew nothing of the ('ourt of Common Council, and denied the right of any one but the Judges and the Alagistrates of the f'om misaion, of whom the Sheriffs were the executive officers, to exer cise such • control in the Court where they presided. This Inter ference, by all authority which could not be recognised, lie regarded as an invasion of the authority of the cmumission, and the rights of the Sheriffs. Those rights he was sworn to maintain, and himself and his colleague were anxious to transmit them unimpaired to their successors as they had received then, from their predecessors. They therefore called upon their Lordships to direct these two per sons, who 'vilified admiration at the dorm, to be called, aid desired to mate upon what authority they acted.

The Conn was entirely under the control of the Magistrates and Judges of the Commission and the Sherilre, oho were their officers. The men on the floor must not continue to stand at the doors without the authority of the Sberiffii, and if they presumed to interrupt them, or act further, they must do it at their peril.

FARTUQUAKE IN JAMAICA. tlfwrrn the limgdoil Royal Gazelle of April 17.1 About ten minutes before ten o'clock en Saturday night a Mum tremendous shock of an earthquake was felt in this city. - Mwiy inhabitants rushed into the streets in a state of great alarm. Imme diately on the shuck robsiding the Spanish and Portuguese syna ;rogue was thrown open, and it was immediately filled by venoms of all sects, eager to return thank.. to the Almighty for their escape from such imminent danger. Some very pathetic prayers were read and Hummed., and the ceremony was concluded by a general and liberal offerihg of charity. The English and Herman syna, gigue was also opened on this alarming sod awful occasion, and prayers were read. Very liberal offerings of charity closed the ceremony at near twelve o'clock. (to Sunday morning prayers were again repeated at the latter place, in consequence of the awful visitation of tt.eprevious night. lime ceremony was concluded by a prayer for his llajesty, his firace ehe finverr.or, the Council, and Assembly. i Several houses in different parts of the town and in Liguinea : sustained injury by the earthquake. Thus earthquake was felt with great force in Spanish Town and at Old Harbour. At Vallahs an old house was thrown down. Another severe shock of an earthquake was experienced in this city on Tuesday night, about ten minutes after ten o'clock, attend ed with the same rumbling noise as the one on Saturday night; tool between one and two an Wecinesday 'morning a third was slightly felt. PORT MARIA, APRIL. IL On Saturday night, about twelve urinates berme ten o'clock. a severe shock of an earthquake was felt here and in the neighbour. hood. Its continuance was full a minute, but no injury was sustained; and last night another shuck was felt &brim the save hour as it occurred on Ssturdsy. Its dusation was longer, buA not SO rarer,.

Before these prisoners were put to tl:e bar, Sir IL B t au it asked, how it happened that they were bmught into Illiddleses, for offimees alleged to have been committed in Surrey, a distance of full sisteen miles S--The patrol replied, that they bud carried their prisoners, as they had caught them, before some of the Magistrates in the neighbourhood of the race-purse, but they directed slum to keep their prisoners in the cage at Epsom until the races were over, and then carry them altogether to Bow -1 street. . — / 7 ;11. Blaine, and Messrs. pet.la and 31tuestust., who were on the bench, said they were mooch obliged to the Epsom Magistrates fig this proof of their consideration : and it was 'e -1 marked, that some gentlemen seemed anxious to get into the none. mission of the peace merely that they might enjoy the name of magistrate, without attending to the duties of ore. There were at least eight of these gentlemen justices of the peace, residing in the vicinity of Epsom; and yet prisoners most he detained two or three days subout examination, and, after all, the patrol must betaken of! their duty on purpose to escort those prisoners, at a considerable expense, into Middlesex, though. if there should be any thing against, them, they must inevitably he sent back into Surrey. It was further observed, by one of their IVotships, that probably the gentleman in the commission of the peace at hpsom were too much engaged with the sports to attend to the punishment of thieves. The prisoners were then placed at the bar and estamined scrip. tin. Ilsrrison, Whateley, and Ward, were country lads, caught in making their first attempt in the handkerchief department of their craf t; and they were ordered to be detained until inquiry could be 'mule after their connexions. John Itatkin and Emanuel Allen, two town roll's, well known to the police, were charged on suspicion of having extracted a gold watch from the fob of a Mr. llougemont, of Broad-street Buildings, just at the close of the Derby contest, on Wednesday; but Mr. K. could not identify their persons neither was the properly found, and therefore they were liberated upon bail, for their appearance at the Sessions, to answer any complaint which might be preferred against them. These two prisoners had each a solicitor. John N'estray ryas charged upon suspicion of having stolen two IW. mites and four sovereigns, from the person of ills. Samuel Potter, a merchant in the City; but there was no direct evidence against him, and he, was committed fur 'further examination on Wednesday next, by which time it was supposed the notes might be traced. This prl. loner had also retained • solicitor; and Sir H. }haute remarked,' how curious it was that those thieves who were charged with steal ing something of value, bad always solicitors to defend them, whilst those idea had not been lucky enough to get any thing, were left to defend thermtelves._ _ . RV MALAN Ir.—T. Richardson, alias poultry, a rough country fellow, was also brought in front Epsom nice-course, on suspicion of having been concerned in a burglary at Leigh, in Kent. It will, per haps, be recollected that the premises of Mr. Campbell, at Leigh, were broken into on the night of Sunday, the 26th ult., and that Mr. Campbell's son open the thieves, and, as it was supposed, dreadfully wounded one of them- The wounded man, whose name appears to be Pentecost, has since been apprehended and lodged in Maidstone gaol, together with a man named Michael Haulie ' r ; and this new prisoner, Thomas Richar d son, aims Donkey, was appre hended on Epsom race.eourse on Thursday hut, on the infonnation of Michael Medley's brother, John. 'I his John Boesky now deposed, that he himself is • native of Newton Toney, in 'Wilts, and, having nothing to do in his own county, he travels about with some other unfortunate labourers, selling brushes, acc. CM the night of Mr. Campbell's rubbery, he and his friends were cooking their supper under a hedge, in a lane about three miles from Mr. Canipbell's house ; and about ten o'clock the prisoner Richardson and Pentecost, the man who was afterwards shot by Mr. Campbell, eame up to their fire and entered into coovemation ; in the course of which conversation they both produced some house-breaking tools, and talked much about stealing, end the profitableness of it.. In about an hour they went away, and in the morning Richardson atom bask to their camp at the lane, and got witness to cut his hair and shave hint t afjer which he went away, and witness never saw him again until he saw him upon Epsom race-eourne on Thursday last; and he then gave him in charge to the patrol, nut doubting that he was concerned with Pentecost in the robbery. The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and the Magistrates or dered that he should be conveyed to Maidstone gaol. MA RIAIOROUGH •ST BEET. On Saturday, in the I:barge-book of St. George's watch-house was one against the Bight Hon. the girl of liarborongh, henry Bray, anti Charm Fallow, Foals., for riotous and disorderly con. duct in the street, and fur breaking a lamp. After • considerable delay in waiting the attendance of his Lordship and Mr. Fallow, Mr. Bray begged that the epee might be hatted, an be had urgent business, which required his presence elsewhere. Mr. Dyck consented to accommodate Mr. Bray. The watchman, Itllara, then stated, that between one and two o'clock that morning, he saw those gentlemen knocking, is the most violent manner, at the door of • house of a certain description, In South !Bolton-street, Grosvenor-square. They were peremp torily refused admittance; they however continued to knock, in slating upon being admitted. The lady of the house was at the window, in her night-dress, calling aloud fur assistance. 'the gvn denten became so enraged at the door not being opened, that one of them shook the lamppost so violently, that it fell, and was dashed to pieces. 'Witness then marring his rattle, and conveyed the three to the watch-house, where they contained for near an hour, when his Lordship sent fur Mr. Gibbs, the livery-stable keeper, in Mount street, who immediately bailed them. They were all intoxicated, but he could not positively say which of them broke the lamp. The constable of the night corroborated the evidence of the watch. man, as to their being Mum icuttd. file. Bray asked what penally he was to be visited with for so serious a charge ? Mr. Dv ea—To pay the line of is. Mr. Bray—For what ? Mr. 1/xxs—For being drunk. Mr. Bray—l SMUT you, Sir, I was rot drunk. I believe I took a gums or two of claret, at the races where we hail been ; that probably might have had sonic bile effect in the forenoon ; and on our arrival in town we had a few bottles of wine at Stevens'a, in Bond-street ; and on our way houie, being a little merry, and knowing the house in Ulultometreet that the watchman speaks of. we did knock at the door t but I again assure you, that I was net drunk, nor did I break the lamp. Mr. Oren—The watchman not being able to say, positively, Which of the three broke the 'snip, vim stand acquitted of this charge; but as to being drunk, lie swears positively you were, as doe's also the constable of the night. Mr. Bray—l mu only say, that I wish them joy of their oaths. The criterion of being drunk, J suppose, will, by and by, be measured by the number of glasses of sire a gentleman takes. lie then paid the tine, and retired. Mr. Dyer then called on Mr. Gibbs to produce the other two gentlemen, tend told him, he would give hint up to three o'clock to do so, at which time, if they were not forthcoming. he would estreat the recognisance-it. At three o'clock Mr. Gibbs returned, and said, that, notwithstanding all his inquiries, be could nut discover where the gentlemen were, and begged the recognizance might be respited. Mr. in NU and, it was very extraonlinary indeed that the gentlemen did not appear; be would, however, reapite the rocog. nisance to Wednesday, and if Me. Gibbs did not produce them on that day, he would most certainly call upon him to pay the penalty of dill. for their nitaappearance. A MI ere a c..—Last Saturday night, a younn. man who I had drank rather too freely, in going home, untiresseil him self in a street ncur the Abbey, Arbroath, under an impres sion that he was in his lodgings and going to heti.

The battle between the English and Irish Champions will take place to-morrow, and as the period for the meeting approaches, th e interest excited in the minds of those who are asixiens sham such affains becomes more intense. On Tuesday last the bottle money, RIK aside, was made good at Delcher's,iwilturt,the Iloth men were present, and harmony and good humour mewl e d, As soon as the terms of the articles, so faro the stakes were o z . cerned, were complied with, the bealtha of the two mm drunk jointly with three times three, and a cordial h o p e e l p t s that the best man might win. This compliment mused, of . Spring's fr iends offered three to one again s t Limon, erfuit; eagerly taken by his hackers. Another of the latter genet emen ofFerml to take four hundred to one—but the thing w as not deemed quite so certain as to justify such odds. fleeing had bet 70j t o mg . with Langan twice over, arid two sovereigns were put down as a de. posit. The Pmident of the. Daffy Club now called on both p ant • to come to the Kutch and make good their bet s . S pr i ng mid he MU ready. but Langan declared that, In consequence of his ha u i n , been obliged to put down from his own pocket a good deal o f t l4' battle nimiey, he was " hard up." There was time enough, 1 1 ,„,. 'ever, before the fight, he said, to arrange this matter. The h t .', dent said hr understood the money was to be st a k e d t h at night, c; I the deposit lerfeited. Langan the* intimated, by the advice of some of his friends. that as three to one had been bet under hie nose, it wo u ld b e extremely imprudent in him to bet one hundred and forty to eighty when lie was likely to la ; - out his money to so much g m . advantage, and he should, therefore, at once forfeit the depart. Spring immediately remarked, that as Langan eras a little du n (and it had been his own fate to be in a sinular Ititlation bey" he would agree to draw die deposits. This proposition 5u,,,, u „ Mitered extremely honourable, and the money was accordingly r e . turned to each. Spring observed that be, as well as Langan, had contributed to the battle money in no trifling degree. 'The Next and most important point to be arranged wee the place at which the fight Wu, 111 take place. There were several letters from different parts of the country, offering parks, paddocks, and ram-coarse, for the exhibition. many of which also contakied pecuniary induce. nients to comply with the wishes expressed. The nomination of the place, accorerng to the articles, was left to Mr. Jacineo ; b ut in order that no unfair advantage might be taken, and that the mutual interests of the men might be consuked. it was agreed that a meeting should take place lateween the Meeker. of both ea the %Vedw slay, in order to consult en the best mow to be adopted. A meeting did accordingly take place at St. James's Corns li me , and the varicose invitations were duly scrutinized. The meet liberal was one from Warwick, which was brought up by a sp ec i a l messenger, who was authorised to give security for VAL to be divided between the combatants, provided it was derided the light should take place on the Warwick rsce-course; which, from t h e excellence of its stand, was considered highly eligible. Thistler was pronounced the best, and the bargain was closed ; an . io gue . tent question. however, still remained to be answered : was it 1%4 pertain that the Magistrates would not interfere ? It was anew:lei that every thing in this respect was " right ;" but th ere was some. thing equivocal in the pledge, and it was resolved, before the final deternunation, that the party should return to Warwick. and make " assurance double sure." Ile accordingly set out, and on Friday .a favourable answer was received, Letters were, is consequence. despatched to the Corinthians who still patronize the P. 11. and it was two to one that Warwick would he the place. The mach. offices were besieged, and in a short time net a place was to belted for love or money—all were quickly weeniest. At Leamington, Warwick, and all the surrounding towns molt villages, great things were apticipated, and the approachice harvest was looked upon as certain. The landlord of the prionpit Inn at Leamington actually purchased a hundred pair of sew blankets to furnish additional beds. for which be confidently ex pected a demand. All these calculations, however, were to be frustrated. A county magistrate, whose taste is not quite in unison with the nations! predilection for boxing. gave notice, that tithe men came within his jurisdiction, he would have them apprehended and held to hail. The gentleman, we believe, was singular in bit, meolutivut ; but still the power he possessed could be as well ex. ceased by one as by one dozen, and, of coupe, it was felt that them was no use in attempting to brave his authority, hawser serious the loss, or rather the prevention of gain, might be en hit neighbours. The stage en which the men were to fight was actually in progress, and other prepara tions were making for extending th e means of accommodatiothose who might feel disposed to wit. nem the mill, It is mandated, that by the alleged obstinacy of this worthy Peek, the circulation of not less than one hundred thousand pounds, in esteems ways, has been lost to the Warwick shire lads and lames, their heirs and WeemilOrt, for ever. If bles sings can be of say advantage to a popular officer, no doubt tbq gentleman in question must be thrice blest " over the left," as Rt. Scroggins would waggishly say. The moment the disappointment was certain, a fresh tepees+. was started for town, and Saturday morning the messenger reached his destination with the unpleasant news. A new meeting WY of course called, and the next favourable ofiir to Werweck was adopted, which, we understand, will carry the men towards the coast, in a south easterly direction, not quite seventy milts from London or very far distant from a fashionable watering. place. Langan had actually act out fur Warwick. but a messenger has been sent after him to bring hint back. Spring being at Reigate, leis labour will be considerably diminished. A Rendes= left London on Saturday night for thi place appointed, to take the necessary steps for building the stage, and no doubt his *arrival will be hailed with peculiar utialaction. The crowd which will sameible on this occiodon will no climbs be equal to that witnessed at Worcester, and the preparations kw their reception must be equally extensive, but we w r i meew secure. Langan set off far Leicester cmidaturday meeting, aeresemmisd by tyre of his backers. Query. Can he be bark in time to light, la all events, the journey cannot be much in his favour; sad there is a sort of whisper that there will be no light. If not a light, there must be a forfeit ; and tithes way Spnng stands fair to was. BOXERS.
