them. Mr. Cabbett claimed between 11,0001. and 12.0u01., which was reduced by the award of the arbitrator to whom it was referred, to 6,0001. which was paid. From that period Mr. Cobbett's great hostility to the Plaintiff took its rise. Some time before his departure for America, The Tines news paper published a paragraph respecting his inten tion to have absodoned the writing of The !register, provided he had not been called up to receive padg. meat for the libel of which he had been convicted. Oat this the Defendant wrote, in his Register, " A letter to George Rome," in which, niter reciting the charge in The Times, he odds, "the charge is basely false ;" sod goes on, " if I were asked how 'Walter became possessed of any knowledge of the matter. I answer, I cannot tell, but I suspect it was communicated by a wretch not equalled by any in the annals of infamy, not even by Jonathan Wild himself." This was known by •Il who knew how the Plaintiff corresponded with Mr. Cobbett to allude to that gentleman. That was the first libel. The Learned Counsel then stated the his tory of the second libel, which arose from the production of 11e. Cobbett'a letter. written in 1808, at the Westminster election. in 1818, which reflected on the conduct and character of Mr. Hunt. and the lady with whom he lived. The Learned Counsel co:atetided that it was a public letter. notivitlistsiid. mg the construction which Mr. Cobbett might now choose to put upon it, and meant for the Corn. mittee who were then conducting the IVestutioster el.ctien. This letter was known to all the Cam. mittee. in which Hunt was designated as a bad cha racter, but to the surprise of every one, ten years efter he was held up by 11r. Cobbett as th e fittest man to represent the city of Westminster, and the Committee thought it so infamous an abandonment of all principle, that they considered the 1411111 C Omni(' he made acquainted with it. During the arbi tration, Wright, who had all the letters, put them in the hands of the accountant, and that very letter was seen by Cobbett in 1811, and lie slid not deity it to be his. The reading of this letter gave ti.se to the second libel, published in the Register of Oh Match. 1419, in which Mr. Cublsett atilt na. Sizes the 'Plaintiff as a man who stood charged, upon Ilse oath of Sir Francis Borden lions-If. with basing been guilty of forgery. Sir F. Burdett was in Court, and could have proved that, if true, and yet Mr. Cobbett hail told them he should tint call hint, he had abandoned his elsas, said had thereby acknowledged the falsehood of the charge. There was a certain decorum in carrying on an argument, even with an adversary, and admitting it were a breach of private confidence, as 11r. Cob brit contended, to have published his letter re specting Mr. Hoot, yet for that should he charge the Pl.tintiff as a felon, a forger, and a spy ? And o lien it clones to the point when he is to prove the charges, he Girlie's and abandons his plea cfjosti heitieii. H.. (M r , Sc as l e tt) hail abutitlauce of tes tintony to rebut the justification. which as it hod been abandoned lie should not open. The Defend. net could have had no good 'eaten' for puttiiis those pleas on the record, Rod ebandotting them only at the last motneot, shrwed that malice was the first and motive dins almost savage attacks on the hit In the third libel, published 6th January, 18=20, he spoke of the Plaintiff as the " prime tool of base netts." So Mr. Cubbot, whose vast d is occupied to save the nation from ruin, speaks of every one as traitors to their country if they dare even differ from !inn in ()Molest. The Iterated Cuuusel coucloded a very animated a n d eloquent address by requesting the Jury to give such da mages as would shew that the wholevonse and con stautioual colors"l which was vested in them over the licentiousuess of the Pleats was sufficient for its purpose : . - . . Henry Hay examined by M►. GURNEY.-1 um a printer; I pri.ted the Political Register of 4th January, 1817 (the first libel), for 31r. Cubbeit, from his etantasesipt. I printed the Political Re gister of January 6. 1810; 1 received the maim script from Mr. Dolls) ; 1 em certain it was Mr. Cobbett's writing ; the manuscript Mts returned to him (the Political !register of March 6, 1819, was given to the witness). 1 printed this from a priuted copy brought to me by Wm. Cubtrett, jun.; Mr. Dolby paid me for it and that of January 6, 1820. The advertisement at the hesd of Match 6, 1819, was iu manuscript. Ambrose Castle sworn—l served a notice on the Dlfeadart personally to produce the original ma incscripts. Ileury Hay cross-examined by Mr. Cobbett— Your son paid me, or, rather, I believe, I was never pad at all. l cannot recollect if there was a stamp ed "Resister;' I think not: this was the " two penny trash." Your soil published the " Regis. ter" at that lime from No. 8, Catherine-street, and it was retailed from Mr. Clement's shop. The ac counts were kept in your .uame ; your sou was a minor. I know your hand-writing from your son's. 1 Imre seen you write. 1 called for copy for the 44 Regiater" of January 4, 1817. and law you writ ing.; Mr. Hone was with you. You said you would stud the copy by your son. I ant not sure the manuscript was in your hand-writing. Mr. Cubbett—Mr. Hay, have you ever read the chapter of St. Luke?-- Mr. CURNZT submitted, that was not the way to examine the witness. • Wituess-1 printed the Register. under the di ret.iiim of Mr. Houston, about twelve months. I went to Brook-green to you, to explain the bad conduct of Houston. I did not promise not to do the like again; I went to explain what Mr. Cob bcit's servant had done, not what 1 had done. 1 belie►e the manuscript of January, 181 7, was in your hand-writing. 'l'hoinas published the Register; an action having been commenced against nie by Mr. Wright, 1 went to Mr. Cobbett, and asked him to furnish me materials for my defence ; lie toll me that lie could establish by evidence that all v.ll.cli lie Mid said of Wright was true. I saw a second tune, and the conversation was still oi• the same subject. I ro4s-esuirtiurrl by Mr. Cubbett—l made no boigaiii with Wright. that if he would withdraw ti,. ; iecurd I would appear ar a witness against you. Cubbett, junior, received the balances and settled actions'''. By the JUDGE — I spoke to Mr. Cobbett gene rally of the letter as his production. Wm. Jackson, ezoinixed by Mr. SC•111.11TT Proved that he published the Register as Mr. Cob heti% agent, from March 1817, to January 1819, at which time Mr. Was. Cobbett, jun. attired from America, and brought • letter from Mr. Cobbett, and in consequence of the orders in that letter he gave up the paper to Wm. Cubbett, jun. Jobu Reeves proved the proposal made by the Defendant through him to Mr. Perceval, to give up his Register if not called up for judgment for the libel hehril published, but did not remember at what exact period of time it was. Mr. Cobbett's letters of 27th and 28th June, 1810, to the Plaintiff were put in and read. John Paul examined by Mr. GURNEY—Proved that he pas employed by Mr. Wright to state the accounts between himself and the Defendant, and is great many of Mr. Cobbett's letters were put in his hands for that purpose, and many of them were produced to Mr. Cooke, the arbitrator. On his croft-examination he said, he had but little acqnaintance with Mr. Jacksou. He had ap plied to Mr. Sheriff Parkins for him, but not to obisiii money. The witness then proved the letter of the De.. fcndant to Mr. Wright respecting Hunt to be in the hand-writing of the Defendant; and also that hi' had a memorandum of having submitted that letter to Mr. Cobbrtt in July 1911. William Adams proved that the letter respecting Mint was read in 1808, in the Committee, when there were 30 or 40 persons belonging to it. The witness was cross.examined by the De fenilaiit, to slew that there had, notwithstanding that letter, hten a great degree of intimacy be tween himself and Hunt, but it was denied by the witr.ess. Mr. SCA RLETT said. as the Defendant had abandoned his pleas of ju•titicatino. he w'.s not prepared at present to offer any further evidence. Mr. Ccroomr then role. and addressed the Jury at consider/11de length and with his usual ability, hot from the lateness of the tour at which the trial terminated. we are prevented from offering even a sketch ni it to our readers. Jr. William Clement ealTed and examined by Mr. Cobhett.—Your son William publirhed " The Political Register" in 1816. In the begi 111 l bog of 1817 I litibliArd the stamped part of " The Re gister." I settled with Wm. Cubbett, jun. with whore I kept my accounts. The first time I saw you was in Citherine-street. Strand, early in the year 1817. Till you weal to America, I settled account , . with your son ; but I held you respon sible, though not legally responsible. You never settled with me for " The R.gi•ters." I could not swear to your hand-writing, because there is so great a similarity betweeu yours and your rou Crols-examined by Mr. ScARLETT.—In 1816 Illy and Turner were p►inters ; I considered the father responsible because the son was not of age. Iloisstou first applied to me to publish the " Re girder." I never treated with the son but as the frolier's swot. By legal proprietor he uoderstood that the son's haute was entered at the Stamp-office. I think it likely that Mr. Cobbett participated in the profits after he went to America, but I account• ed to Mr. Jackson. I gave to Wm. Cobbett, jun. a large sum in bills for his father's use, in antici pation of the causing proceeds. Re-examined by Mr. Cuisbett.—l think I was told verbally that the bills were for your use by your son IValliam, but not in yonr presence. Charles Preston, from the Stamp-office, pro duced an nifirlivit of Wm. Cobbett, jun. of the 45th J.arruary, 1816, as printer, publisher, and sole pro ',titbir of the " Register." Wm. Cobbett, jun. examined by the Defendant. —I was proprietor of the " Register" at the time the first of the three " Regisiers" (now in ques tion was published. The sum first allowed you as Editor was Sid. and afterwards 401. • week. I recollect that 1.11 the hat Jairusry, 1817, you were at l'rckhuut Lodge. The house in Catherine. street was not furnished before the middle of Ja nuary ; I think you were not in Catherine-street more thin mace to we the hotter till after the middle of January. I saw Mr. Horse twice at Catherme-street in March. I don't recollect tipping the nomitiscript of dare " Itegister" of Jan. 4. 1817. I recollect the " Register" of 6 , 1 i March 1819; I received part of that from America. and sent some of the manuscript to the press. I arrived in Eng land from America in January 1819. I heard of the meeting at the Crown and Anchor in the No vernber preceding ; I found my mother, sister, and brother extremely desirous that rornething should be written about Wright. I received front my fa ther some copy ; the " Register" of 6th March 1819, was partly written by me. Mr. SCARLETT objected to this examination. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE You may pot the printed " Register" in his hands, and ask hien whit alterations were made." [The " Re‘,.;ister" of titli March, 1919, was put into witness** hands.] Parts of that were received from America, I don't think the time of Wright was uientioned in the manuscript front A meric.s. 1 cannot recollect the ',articular parts which I wrote. I left nearly all I found in the original article, and made the ad dition where 1 could. I certainly wade it very dif ferent as to 'Wright. I awl John wrote about live colooons oot of the twenty. Neither you nor myself were in the habit of keeping the manuscripts; it is generally used for lighting tires. 1 was not desired to publish the " Register" for you, it war altogether a concern of my owl' from January 1819 till J - unary or February this last year. You had made pro vision by other lllel lIA for my mother and sister. I was never requested by you to publish any thing which you seat me hods America. The character of your hued witting is so like that you have fre quently mistaken it formitte. We arc to the habit of rigising for eat li other. Cress-examined by Mr. SCARLRTT—I never did print the " Register." 'there itever was any precise bargain between niy father and nie. He was to receive about 3.501.0 month; the residue I was to keep. Before IV‘ Clll to Alllerleil I did not write much for the work ; I knew the lute Mr. Boswell I have not seen him since 181-2. Since I gave up the. " Register" to my father, but received no multi for it. I had only the tole, and if I had refused to give it up, my father could have written for another paper. The letter " to Jiinies I'aul Cubbett" 1 received from Bulky, and understood it was 1,0111 toy father. John Cobbeit examined.-1-le coutiimid the ter timooy of the preceding witness.

The LORD CIRIRT IVIT ICE summed up the evi deuce to the Jury. who retired for one hour end • half, end returned into Court at • quarter past ten o'clock. with ■ verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages, Oaf Thousand Pounds. This trial occupied the Court from one o'clock in the morning till past ten at night, during the whole time the Court was excessively crowded. Sir F. Burdett sat with the King's Counsel, next to Mr. Brougham, during the whole trial. Mr. Ellice, the Member for Coventry, sat in the Students' box. OLD BAILEY, Mospay. Decnista 11. Williams Price was indicted for hurglariously steolinCa quantity of linen, value St. and upward.. from Joseph Wilgus). The evidence of the theft was perfect. Baron GA WA. in summing up, suggested some doubts as to the proof of the burglary; still he observed, as the value of the property was laid at upwards of 40i. the thefi. if proved. was a capital offence. It remained for the Jury to determine whether the goods had all been stolen at one lime. Thieves had • plan of draw. ing things out of underground kitchens, by • stick with • book at the end. This practice was styled " fishing for things." The property might have been so drawn out by the Prisoner. If the Jury were of opinion that the things had been stolen iu that manner, as there could not have been forty shillings worth taken at one time, they would only find the Prisoner guilty of striding. Verdict—Guilty of sterling to the value of 39'. not burglariously. Baron Gaintow asked if the Court should pass a mild sentence, had the Prisoner any friends who were willing to assist him in adopting an honest course of life .1! The Prisoner could give no satisfactory answer to this human suggestion. The Grand Jury for the City of London entered the Court, and alter presenting a iminber of bills, the Foreman addressed the Court, complaining that he had, at the request of his brother Jurors, made r formal demand on Mr. Brown, the keeper of Newgaie, to allow them to inspect the whole, or any part of that gaol, in order to report thereon to the Court. Mr. Brown had refused their applica tion. They wished to be informed by his Lord ship what course they were to take, or whether Mr. Brown had a right to refuse them admission or not Baron GAaaow said, that to the best of his re collection a similar application hrd been made to the Court in the Session* of May last, by the Grand Jury of the City of London, when a Learned Friend of his was presiding. The an swer given at that time, according to his best re collection (for which if be erred lie hoped their excuse, especially as he had been busily en gage , 1 in other affrirs ever since), was, that the Court could give no opinion just then ; but that the matter should be laid before all the Judges of the land as soon after that as they could be consulted, and on some future occasion the Court would make known the result of that consultation. The rafting opportunity was taken for laying the subject bef o re all the Judges of Eng lund. On the Sessions neat following, the senior Judge made known the decision of all the Judges, as well as he could recollect, to the following effect : " That fur as mooch as it was • question of right which had been submitted to them, like all other questions of right it was capable, in some form or other, of being brought an der consideration in • judicial manner. And as in that case any one of them might be called to sit in jedgment spoil the issue, and as by a writ of error the question might be agate submitted to all the Judges of the land, they were un witting to encumber themselves with any extrajudicial op.- wino which they might be then able to pronounce." That which had been the opinion of •II the Judges its consultation, he, as • single Judge, felt it neces sary to adopt for the safe guidance of his own con duct. lie did not rioter into the propriety of Mr. Brown's refusal ; on that subject he had no means fur forming ■ correct decision ; but if the Grand Ju►ies of the City of London felt that the right of visiting the prison was essential, and • mutter of sufficient importance to require more investigation, they would have no difficulty in in►tituting pro ceedings, in some judicial form, which would lead to • legal decision. lie hoped that his answer would be satisfactory, as it was beyond doubt re spectful. The Grand Jury retired without more observation. S I thefts of a petty amount, quid wholly un interesting in their detail►, were disposed of. SURREY ADJOURNED SESSIONS. NOVEL CASE. Richard Eyre: stood indicted for that he or the 28th day of October last dirt feloniously cot off and carry away the tails and manes of several hones, the property of John Lane and John Watts, at the manor of Hatcham, is the parish of St. Pull, Deptford. Mr. Tolson stated, that this prosecution was carried on by a subscription among the marketitaoeners, horse-dealers, and others, who had suffered from similar depredations, and us the offence was committed in one county, and the appre hessian took place in another, by the 13th Geo. 1111.ehap 31, sec. 4, the Prosecutor had the option of laying the cense in either county. The Learned Cosoirel Bees' proceeded to state, that for more than Iwo years the gentleenea in the counties of Kent and Surrey, and such others whose business required that they should keep a horse, were annoyed most grieviously by some one corning in the night, and rutting off the tails and mattes of their horses ; and this was in some instances so clum sily dune that the flesh was lacerated, and the poor animals af terwards died of a mortification. It was in vain that the 'offerers employed watchmen to guard their paddocks; the depredations were continued with the same •iornr; and they might form some estimate of the losses, when he as. awed them that no less than faro hundred horses had been so dueled Ire the last 12 months. However, what defied the most nneessiug vigilance was ai length effected by accident. On the morning in question, Henjamia Cole, a constable of the manor of Hatcham, and David Herring, • Bow-street patrol, whilst un duty in the Kent-road, saw the Prisoner emerge from • spot called White-post-la n e; his pockets seemed bulky, and the rotatable., suspecting he had com mitted a robbery, stopped him and searched his pockets, when Cole found three manes and three tails in one pocket, and a sharp clasp-knife well suited to the purpose—and Herring found in the usher pocket five tails and three manes, which it would be proved to them was the exact gleartity lost by the prosecutor Watts. The Primmer flayed ow emotion, bet when asked by the Row-street patrol where he got the horse-hair, gave • singular s and, an far as regarded ihis proaccatiow, an insportsal answer—a" Oh ! It's all right,'• said be, " you've no proof, fur you did not act ow cut them ar."—Ttsta was the answer of a teas, who, there was ittiia reams to itelivee, had for some ' years carried s. • system of pleader is lboie counties, which, in point of novelty and dexterity, was never equalled. As if Provdeoce hat &doted it so, the to. lour of she hair which the Prisoner had in his possession woe of a very settee descriptio• ' being what is milled steel grey, so that the Prosecutor had as difficulty in swear ing to its brier his 'property. Of the Primmest his chests knew nothiag certain; but there was reuses I. believe that be was a chair or sofit ntaissfartorer, end if as, be leek a very good mode of supplying the public on chea p teems. The Learned Gentleman added, that he bad onticipatei an objection which the Court might entertain, as to whether this ems could be brought within the drooneinstion of 'amity. He had searched the reports, and in Batts P. C. chap. 16, see. 49, p. 616, he found Marlin's case, which was decided about 30 years ago by Chief Justice Bashorst. There the Prisoner was indicted fur palling wool dtf the bodies a 16 live lambs, and a doubt wrote whether it *as larceny, which was at length referred to the Judges, who were unanimously of opinion that where larceny weight be committed of she Suing itself: it might also be committed of the produce of that thing. The Learned Counsel dm' called a number of witnesses, who folly proved his statement in all the particulars. The summed up, admitting that his owe *pi- Moo of the law was chanced by she care just gamed, and the Jury immediately fumed the Pi-sumer Guilty. lie was immediately sentenced to be trausported for neve. years.
