Th- tit ci irat:on stated, tt.kt " I" meant Henry I Lunt, hot it contained no. tl.,t g to *hew the Plaintiff's sverntrot or bef-f, that the we. the genuine letter is the perio:t 11.1 Me {4 stilp.crited. The nature of the op.viino par,graph was no pulliahuun of the lihrl ; it merely neht to the. effect of saying, "I have published a letter which I have received from another peroou ; I du not mean foolproof! of its content., but I have given them to the public." If such a paragraph ii , ulrl be read without proof being offered of the f.irt contaittrii, and received as justification, the most malignant libels might he liropag.teil with the greatest impunity. ;into, proof of (tie alleged fact ought to have been prepared. Mr. John Wright knew the Plaintiff, end had known him tome time; was never intimate with Mont, but believes his Christian name to be Henry; if required to fill up the signatore of H. Hunt, at the bottom of the letter, would do it by potting Henry ; by the name is Cleary." used in the libel, whines" understood the Plaintiff to be meant. ('rots-ezontirsed by Mr. SC AILLETT.—IIad not truism Mr. Cleary very long; had communicated with him about the present libel; believes that the letter was considered genuine by the Plaintiff; had often seen Mr. Hunt's name to paper ; it was as often Fleury Hunt, as H. Hunt ; sometimes Hunt was railed Harry ; on one occasion Harry the Ninth. Did Dot lean, from Mr. Cleary that Hunt bad published the libel in Sherwin's and other pub lications; had heard Mr. Cheery speak of the literary war raging between him and Hunt. Ou recollec tion, had gathered his information from the news papers and mot from the Plaintiff; conversed fee queutly with Plaintiff about the libel in The Nero iotes. It was generally understood to have beets written by Hunt ; never heard from Mr. Cleary that the editor and proprietors had offered to give up the author, if he (Mr. C.) would stay proceedings, and he had refused. Witness only had the general un derstanding that the libel was writien by Hunt ; had never heard any particular expressions about it ; saw Plaintiff on the Westminster hustings; did not beer Hunt say that Plaintiff lived with a mis tress who kept him; Plaintiff was • young man about 30 years of age. This was theme for the prosecution. Mr. Scamare, for the defence, said, this naked case was all that bad followed the full and eloquent opening of his Hon. Friend, and upon which he called apon them to give him • verdict (which, if he, Mr. Searlett, perceived rightly, his Learned Fr;ell.l would not gel) for all sujury such as was sufficient to make him ask for inflamed damages. The i. jury existed in the imaginations of his Do pourable Friend and Mr. Cleary, and not in the lihel. Surely it should have been proved that in seeking compensation for the injury, they bad also done their utmost to reek out the author. In stead of an action for compensation for injury, it was fiery like a contrivance between Mu-sirs. Hunt and Cleary to bear down Dr. Stoddart ; and for bi• own part, he would not be surprised if his Learned Friend should shortly make an applica tion to the Court against Dr. Stoddart, on be half of Mr. Hunt, iu language as warm nod per roasive as he had just before te..e.l for Mr. Chary. If Dr. Stoddart could thus be got between too titer (which he hoped would not be the case), it would be pretty nearly over with 71e IVtir Timm. If Mr. Cleary bad been iii great anxiety about &fending his reputatioti, why did not lie cutworm.r the present :tenor' before April, 18ip, tlw date of the libel bring November, 1818 ? The object was clearly to bring down Dr. Stud dart. Ile could not read the scerets of his Learned Friend's brief, but it would nut surprise him if Mr. I luot's attorney was the one employed by M. C 'till y• It was quite clear that the utlivet . ought was to ruin Dr. Stoddart, sod if this could be ef fected wider the saurtion of the lrw, so much the better lor these patriots, as they could still pre serve their reputation for honesty and the love of freedom cud justice. But would his llosioural.le -Friend, titan whom no man could have a more de licate sense of personal honour, have submitted to a charge of unnatural propensities for so many months ? Certainly not ; nor would Mr. Cleary, bed he believed that the imputation of the libel was that which was now asserted. Mr. BROUGUAT4--" hie war ►err ill." Mr. SCARLICTT—" Very ill, Wait hr ?" Mr. BROUGHAM—" Yes; and 1 sill prove it." Mr. SCIIII.ETT—" With all my brut ; the more witneetes the better." Majo► Cartwright was then sworn. lie knew Mr. Cleary to have been in a delicate state of health at 11:e close of the year 1818. Mr. Cleary was gene rally of delicate health, but was then particularly unwell, and witness had iniited hint on that ac count down to his residence at l'unbridge. Wit ress believed great part of Mr. Cleary's illness was attnhutable to mental anxiety. Mr. SC♦RLETT —" Now I object to that." M►. ifitouoHAN.-6. Very well ; you said the more evidence the better." Msjor Cartwright continued. He thought Mr. Cleary incapable of business. though hr did.not recol:ect having written to Mr. Cleary's friend to say that he could not attend to It. Mr. Cleary's com:notot was a paralytic stroke. Cress-ex arnined by Mr. Sc r. Pear son. was 'Mooney to Mr. Cleary. Witness knew nothing is to genuineness or otherwise of the libel. Witham Shears is clerk to Mr. Pearson, who w,1% attorney to Mr. Cleary laiig before he (lid any thing for Mr. Hunt. IV rtu.r. piudured a letter f.a.:l the Defendant's atturiir, 11.ted Apti. !SI!), which admitted notice of action having hero served own. them. Cress-ezarnined.-112(1 heard that Defendant's attorney offered Mr. Pearson to give up the author, hut was not present at the time: Could not say from personal knowledge that the offer was refused by either Mr. Pearson or Mr. Gears'. The CMS, JUSTICE Md, the notice was only one of the intention of the Planitif) to go to anion. Mr. BROUGHAM said, there was evidence to go the Jury. Mr. iicaatcrr resumed . his defence. The Jury would are if Mr. Hunt would not be put in the hoz at last; his Learned Friend had got Major Cartwright there already, although he dui too k uow that he wain Court. To return to the charge. Would Buy man sit down trout November till April (there was pretence of having stirred in the business betweea) with such ma imputation lying against , o•st,..isted ? fie would say for Mr. rle.:rv, that be knew he (?.lr.

The Lear n ed Cosisistl then endeavoured to ft-hilt llin Olt-grit imput Aim) of the libel, and prove. the the fair inference from the phrases used was, that the whirr convey that Mr. Cleary was on goo.i t..ritio with the women, some of whom behaved generously to hisn. Thi• might he sit injurious al•o, and certainly it wing not die design or the Defendants to *ay thong of the kind of Mr. Cleary. But they were pat on the defence of the libel ; and if the imputation really einitilitird in it WAS slut the Pane Its that charged, even though the real injury should he the greatest 1.. as comparisons of gods, the Defendants would be entitled to the verdict. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, that it lay with the Jury to determine Oil which of the two meanings mull with mat fdirsires be deduced. If the al leged one, then the Pluirotti was entitled to the verdict; if the contraty, the Defendant most be altogether acquitted, although the libel charging forgery had been proved, because the declaration would be unfit to convict on that count. The Ju►y retired, a. did also the Chief Justice. with the eonseut of the Counsel, when they had been absent an hour and better. At two hours after they had retired an open communication was sent from the jury-rootn, to say, that they could not agree on their verdict. An attempt was then made unsuccessfully to compromise and withdraw ■ juror. About half-past etglit o'clock the jury returned, having been shout fain bouts and a half abound. and gave a verdict for the Plaintilf,damages 1001. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Gutumat.s, FAiDay, APRIL 14. Adjourned Sittings after Hilary Te►n. be/ore Mr. Justice Buattouon. and Special Juries. OAKES V. YATMAN. This was an action to recover a sum of above 7001. for stamps, conveyances, solicitor's fees, and other outgoings attending the negociating making of 3 contract for the grant of an annuity, in the year 1814. The Plaintiff was the grantee of all annuity secured on an estate in Lincoln Fens ; the Defendant an attorney employed by him in the course of the transaction. The latter caused • Mr. Wiggins, an ei—otitseist surveyor, to go into the country and examinethe estate on which the an twit), was proposed t o he secured, and on the strength of that Gentleman's report, the contract • was concluded. Large arrears of principal and in terest accrued in the payment of the sum yearly granted, and the security turned out 110 l to be so valuable as had beets represented. An action for 10,000/. the grantee's entire losses, had been its cots sequence brought against Nlr.Wiggins, end damages obtained for 6,000/. The present 61114/13 WW4 in stituted to recover one of the it. ins of the remaining losses. The only tinestion in the case was, whether the Defendant was to be considered in the trimmer. 1100 under the character of a .I.:ialtor merely, or of a general agent ? In the latter case he would be liable—in the forgoer, not. After some witnesses lritl been examined, the Court pronounced, that seen her in law nor 111 fact was Mr. Yatmaii liable; and that if he weir tis be considered so, no attorney could with safety engage in butanes, of that &script' The Plaintiff was accordingly sionsuited. The other cases that occurred were pine devoid of general interest. (ILI) BAILEY, FRIDAY, APRIL 14. The business of the Court this day wits quite de void of interest. In the course of the (IT • melancholy instance of depravity on the part of a Prisoner ow! a witness, was exhibited. A boy 111111/VII James Fluinery, twelve years of age, was indicted" for stealing great coat, value 395. and u pocket-book„ contain ing a check for 35!. on the Bunk of Messrs, flookey and-Co. . Ihe boy seemed to weep bitterly, and he kept hi• hands before his face during the trial. . _ . In support of character. a decent dressed female appeared in the witiles,.. box, and said she was the ibeisoner's aunt. Ills mother had lately died, and his hither was at sea, being chief-mine of a relivel bound to the coast of Gainers. She stated that since the death of Prisoner's mother. she had the care of him, that his father was hourly expected home, and would, she was convinced, take the boy to fen with him. amid prevent the recurrence of hos ill behaviour, which only arose, in this solitary n►- stance. f the temporary neglect oecas►oned by the death of his mother. Mr. JUrtiet PARK, after looking attentively at the witnesr, asked her whether the lifistiner hticl not been tried before him at the last Summer Assizes at Chelmsford, for committing some offence at 13ow whether she had net, on that trial. told the some story she hail just now detailed. and also represented herself us, being his mother ? She replied in the negative, but would nut venture to assert that the boy had not been tried at Chelan.. ford ; indeed she said son►e of her sine's might Fare been at Chelmsford. foe they were all much alike, but she solemnly declared she had never beau a witetrs, at Cl et el uh r or d. .• • . . The Jury found the I'risoor► The Learned JUDGE, who was satisfied in Itii recollection of the Prisoner and of the aunt by his' clerk, sent for his note-book, and f 1 the names of both, as he expected, set down, Ile had no doubt whatever, that both the woman and the boy now in Court were the same identical persons he sow last summe►, at the trial in Chelmsford. While the Judge% note-book was sent for, the women left the Court. • - The Jury afterwards rapressed a wish that she should be prosecuted for perjury. and Mr. Sheriff Pao kips observed, that though she 11.4(1 left Court, lie had taken such steps as, he trusted. would make her forthcoming to answer for her offence. So hardened iu crime wrre some of Ole Prisoners brought to Bury from Ipswich. fur trial at the last Assizes. that they actually robbed the Bury gaol. and carried the articles to the other receptacle s where they were found upou This witness was e►oss-examined by Mr. ALLAY, but nothing maternal came out. Airs. Fairbrotlitr, the wife of the last witness, stated, that on the night in question she inquired for her husband at the Defendant's house, who was denied her ; she raid she had • right to see hint ; her child, who was in her arms, began to cry, and POMP noise was made ; her husband came out, and on his asking Ellison what he was about, Elkton gave bun a blow, and knocked him down ; he bled, and lav for dead ; the people said he was dead. The Defendant was taken to the watch-house ; witness went there and made a complaint against ham, with the officer Cooke. Examinations were lodged at Marlborough-street Office against the Traverser for the assault on her husband, and after bills were found, the Defendant, Ellison, brought • charge against her, as well as against Cooke the officer, for robbery, alleged to have been committed on him that night. Both of them were tried at the Old Bailey; they were prosecuted by the Defend ant, and honourably acquitted. Cooke, the officer, was next prmincr& He stated the fact of the assault ; that the Defendant was taken to the watch-house ; Feiihrother and hit Nile were there; the defendant, Ellison, did not then make any charge of rubbery against Fair. brother or his wife, or against witi.e.s; it was not mail some de), after, when the parties lodged exa minations, soil a tree bill war found against the Defendant, that lie for the first time made • charge of robbery against Mrs. Fairhrother, and he as. (Ivied witness with Wiling him whilst she robbed Lint of •1 s. 61. They were tried ; witness was tried for his life, and acquitted. The surgeon wh ) impeded the wound and at tended Forbrother, stated, that when he saw him immediately after the wound was given, he (Fair. brother) was then quite insensible. The cut on the back of his head was very severe and very deep. For four or five days alter he was in a very bad and feverish sloe. Mr. A PACT then addressed the Jury for the Defendant. He urged that the house of the De fendant was annoyed by the parties ; that Fair brother being drunk. he tell with violerice from the effects of intoxication, and came by the wound in that way. The case, he said, did not warrant the Jury in assuming that the Defetidaut acted from malicious motives. The Learned Gentleman con. eluded by saying, that he would call witnesses to prove the-fact he stated. A person of the name of Nevil was stalled on for the Defendant, who stated that he was present at the trausirction ; the wife of Fairbrother made a noise at The door of the Defendant ; there was :ninth poise ; the woman attempted to claw him . ; Fambrother came out ; he was Much intoxicated, and having got a shove froth the Primmer, by the force of the liquor he fell with violence; the back : of Ins head came in contact with a l a rg e stone, and that was the cause of the severe wound. Wit ness could point out the identical alone Oa which lie 'kW On his cross-examination he tisk) he did not on 'lliai night hear a word with respect to the Charge of ro *Awry. The- wife of thelast witness and another woman ; were celled, who stated, that the wife of lair. brother suede usigh noise. and disturbed the neigh• •bourhood. The.Ctimismart, iu.ddsering the Jury, said, thinigh imatterwot exactly brimming to the Mate was inteoduced, yet it went to -*hew. •the COBS. 'diet of the Prisoner. The prosecation he alined' .to'he instituted against theirife of Fairbrother, and , noting the officer, who merely discharged his duty, keg it felony—that prosecution tr!o. instituted after Vision was iadicted for the brutal assault he had tinisinitted—that prosecution, an shameful end so false, must rive to the conduct of the Defendant the must unfavourable colour. fie then observed on the evidence of Fairlirother andliis wife ' which he considered on the face of it to bear the-etilisp of truth. Alter bearing 'their evidence, at well as the evidence pf the officer, Cooke, there could be no doubt whatever of-the assault ; that assault, at tended with so much violence. , and, with regard to Fetrbrother, with so much injury—with all the eir comstonces that attended it, and the shameful pro• secution which followed—left the present case one of tlm most aggravated that came before theta dining one preseiit. Session. The witness Nevil. produced for the Defendant. gave evidence which was inconsistent. and unworthy of consideration.— Indeed. there could be little doubt of the guilt of the Defendant—for his own conduct, more forcible t hou evidence, established the fact of bib guilt.—s About 'sister lea smooths since, a merchant of the name of Weller, who we understood was principally 'imaged iu the wine trade, and was carrying on a very flourishing trade in conjunction with' a perkier, at whose death Mr. Weiler gut the bilk beloaging to the partsetelhip moseers, and con verted every thing possible into sisoom and it is supposed, by these means, collected between cloves and twelve thou sand pounds, with which it was ascertained hr left Englead. —Os his comitict coming to the knitwiedge of the relatives of the deceased, and the creditors upon Means, it wastletermin_ ed ou issuing a statute of bankruptcy stalest him. lie DOI appearing to the meeting of the Commissioners, as regularly notified, the Assigares applied to the Magistrate at the pub lic-office, Bow.strert, who agreed to allow the Assignees the assistaaes of Vickery the officer, who traced nut sad pursued the fogitive with the interim wealth In Dieppe, where he was stopped, but he was not side to apprelitud him without the sanction of the French Government, snd ap plicatios was. made for that purpose through Sir Charles Stewart, the British Ambassador; the proceedings and reaction were moth retarded by politic °reverences.

If Pliant I.iinllord of the Royal Oak pishlicshooss., 111 Eurl-st. ret, SeVtll Dials, was in dicted fur a n assault on Christopher Fairbrother, on the 170. of July last. Mr. A s uis.Ws, Counsel fur the prosecution, stated that the repent was one of the most aggra vated eases of assault, and attended with the most strarimn ciremmitauers, that ever was brought he fore a Court of Justice. He then detailed at length the nature of the case, as it was afterwards given in evidence. The first witness called was Christopher Fairbro. titer, who stated, that on the day stated in the in dictment, he and Ina wife returning from market at • late hour at night, went into the Defendant's house to take some refreshment ; in • short time after, witness's wife left him and went home with the articles she bought at the market. She return. ed to the pahlic-house, and inquired for witness ; the Defendant denied witness, and on her saying that she knew witness was in the house, and that she had a right to see him, the Defendant, as wit ness understood, abused her. She had a child in her arms, wants' heard the cries of his child, he went into the street where she was, and saw the Defendant in she act of abusing her; he asked the Defendant what he was about, when without fur ther provocation the Defendant aimed' • violent Wow at him which knocked loins down; he lay quite insensible ou the pavement, and was for a considerable tune in a very ill state front the effects of the violence he had received.— The Defendant, after he was indicted, brought • charge of rubbery against witness's wife and the officer ; they were bath tried and acquitted. The Defendant afterward. left his lions', and kept out of the way until very lately, when he was taken under a htigistrate's warrant, and brought here to trial, for the assault on witness. W; at but the conscionsue§s of that guilt—what hut ih. ronvi"•tion that his conduct was altogether wwld induce him to fly from the hoods of justice, and keep out of the way from the month of July to the present April Sessious.? The Learited Chairmen concluded by . saying. that it was for the Jury M judge of the evidence they hid heard, and they would find their verdict recordiagly.
