COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Wartuninia, Teitsumr, Novraissa 16. THS XING V. MR P. BURDETT. Mr. DENMAN said, he was now to support his Learned Friend's (Mr. Scarlett's) argument, to have the tule granted in this case made absolute. It bad been maintaioed on the other side, that the writing of a libel alone was an offence, independent of pub lication. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE—" We are not in a ease of that kind ; here his been a publication." Mr. DENM•N said there had been a publication, but there was no evidence in what way that pubh chtion took.place. In the case of the K:ng v. Bert, Lord Holt, in giving judgment, had relied upon no antecedent authority, but on the contrary, had heeo under the necessity of getting rid of all former authorities ; authorities, to say the least of them, equal to his own. He had said that Lord Coke's decision in Limb's case was not law, unless taken with the qualification in Moore'b Reports. The doctrine that • libel written hut not pnblished, was a crime, had no countenance from the whok calendar of crimes as known to the law of Eng land, except in the siii4le case of forgery. But in that case the act of forgery it was which dad the wrong; it was by that act a man was made liable, and the publication therefore made no Difference in the offence. 11 the keeping of libels in a man's pos•ession were to be acconnted criminal, all those who had the works of Gibbon in their possession were guilty, for undoubtedly there ware many of his chapters whirl), if brought before a Jury. might be held libellous. But the having owl keeping libels was no crime by the law of England, it was the act of publication ; the making of other minds cognisant of their contents which constituted the offence. The issuing of general warrants was once held to be part of the law of England, and had some analogy to the present point. The doctrine of making the writing of libels a crime, had reference to the power of searching for and seiz ing them in the maker's own possession. Lord Coke having got rid of the case of the King against Lamb, hail fortified himself with precedents from the Star Chamber, of persons who had been punished for writing libels only, and he said, that by C./11Petilllnitt 111101 offences were now punishable by indictment. But it appeared its Hubbard, that in the two costa relied upon, publication did take place; 8114 instead of beilig cases of writing alone, were cases of writing and publishiog, and support ed his argument. The Attorney-General had said, that he dV not want to found himself nu the Ro man law ; but, its fact, there was nu English law for it whatever ; and it was remarkable that Lord Chief Justice Holt, who had laid down that alarm ing proposition, had nothing but Boman law to *hew for it, awl that equivocal, and when found to be against instead of favourable to his Lordship's argument. The two Star Chamber cases to which he had alluded in Hubbard, were Llewellyn's case, and Blake against Hatton; they were both cases of letter. written and sent. In the time of King Charles 11. Chief Justice &rows stated the caw of the King v. Harris, as the opinion of all the Judges, that persons who wrote, or printed, or sold books, scandalous to the Garet nutent, might be prosecuted, and the books seized. Such was the doctrine of the twelve Judges in the time ofCharleal I.

Mr. DENMAN--In the case of the King egoinet• Cart, Sir George Jefferies. the Recorder. had stated that the Judges lowan met, had given- it es their opinion th,t us person could expose to palate knowledge any thing concertino' the affairs ef the public without license (rein the King. That main 1660, and iu fact, at the Itestoratiou a licenser was tor pointed; and it was under such a dispensation that Lord Halt's early life was passed. It was not till King William's time that the law respecting the limns. ing was suffered to expire. The right to seize papers, and to enter houses seed search for them. continued to be considered as law till 1767, when Lord Camden pronomiced against it. Out which occasion he reviewed the whole of the case of the King against Bere. The whole of that case au. duubtedly went on the ground that 11 ere was a right to search for and seise papers even in the desk of the party. Hit Learned Friend, the As. torney-General, had carried his argument to the ettent that writing of a libel alone, though kept lucked up in a desk, was punishable, which was entirely conformable to the tight of searching fur and seizing papers. The Learned Counsel then quoted Mr. Starkey's book, poblished in 1813. to chew that the authority of the cost of the Ki.,g against Bere was ocit now questioned for the first time. Lord Camden said, on the qiiestinn of the general warrants. that, if the doctrine of that case were true, when a seditious libel had herei publish ed a few weeks, the whole kingdom would have heroine guilty. and it would be a difficult matter amongst so ninny millions of finding ore tutoceot Juryman. Mr. De 1111 l au then referred to the 4th so lume of Bluckstuns, page 150, the whole of winch proceeded on the supposition that a publication hail taken place. rite Loan CHIEF Justice—" In the same page he states, that the puni-liment for making, print ing, or publishing a libel. was fine." Mr. DENMAN said, that supposing it established that writing alone was iio offence, he suit *Omit that that was the only act *hewn to have bran clone .iii the county of Leicester. But if the Court should be of opinion that writing alone was an offence. then he claimed a new trial on that ground, because the Learned Judge at the trial WJIII uf opinion that writ. hog alone was tin °Knee. Mr. Justice Beat said, that his opinion was, that theinere act of writing memoranda of libellous mat ter was no crime. hut if written with Wed to puh- Fish, it was one step towards crime, and was a miss demeanor. Mr. DENMAN said, he did not recollect his Lord. ship's stating that ut the Assizes; but upon gene.. ral principles, he contended, that making a libel was no crime at all, so long as it remained in the maker's possession. If such were the law, it would lead to all those inconveniences which were object.. ed to general warrants, now happily got rid of. The consequences would be en encouragement to spies, mid an incitement to breaches of confidence and treachery iii servants. It would, indeed. lead to consequences so monstrous. that no English Court of Justice could fur ri moment entertain the doctrine. Cases of conspiracy had been refined to, where the offence had been committed in different counties. lee the case of the King v. Brosac, one overt act was done in Middlesex, and that was sufficient to bring the casewititin the jurisdiction of that county. It was one complete act there committed. But the two acts of writing sold publishing were distinct and separate acts, and there was no evidence whatever of Sir Francis Burdett having done any ate act in Leicestershire besides writing. Cases of nuisance had also been referred to, and the case of a wind mill had been supposed situated in one county pro ducing en act of nuisance in another. But that act was one and entire, and had no analogy with the present case, where the acts were entirely different. The third point made was, that evidence of publics. tiun had been allowed to go to the Jury, because the letter had been received open iu London. it was to be presumed that it mss open in Leicestershire, which would be a publication in Leicestershire. That was a presumption which, io a criusitisl case, should never he admitted. But lie denied that, Strictly speaking, there was any evidence whatever of the letter having been delivered open in the county of Leicester. It was contrary to common practice and experience that it should have been so, and the evidence which was given on the trial, its his opinion, put it out of all doubt. It was admitted at the time that a sealed letter was no publication. Mr. Justice Barr denied that had been admitted by him. The only evidence was of an open letter. Mr. DENMAN said, he should he sorry to put his memory in competition with his Lordship's. Mr. Justice Bea? said, he had a distinct recol lection that he had referred to the cam of the King v. Walnut which was that of a sealed letter, and bow he cools, have referred, to that if he had been considering the case of an open letter, lie could not imsgine. Mr. Dammam proceeded to observe on the case of the King v. Watociii. Mr. Justice B•v 1.E1f...." Did it appalr what day the letter reached Brooks ?" Mr. DENMAN—" He was not certain if he re ceived it on the 43d or 24th August." Mr. Justice BAY LEY—"Sir Francis Burdett was seen in Leicestershire on the nod ?" Mr. DENMAN said he Was so; that there was plenty of time fur him to have carried the letter himself. It ought td have been shewn that he was never ont a the county. Mr. Justice Bear—" The letter was published in THR BRITISH Pans on the 25th August, so that it most have arrived is term o n th e 44th." Mr. DENMAN contended, that the written di ✓ection as to the publicittiou on the envelope. Was • strong prouf that the letter was not delivered to Mr. Bockertdaffin the county of Lee:eater.

He again observed on the - absence of all authority, anti ar gued.ithat if it had been law his Learned Friend' on the other side, with all their ingenuity and re 7 search t must have 'toned one. He looped he had said eimagla to satisfy their Lordships that alone was no offence, nest that it was quite impossible.to os.iindate the lorseot to thla , e . veer* where two distinct act* were necessary to make up one crime ; and also, that the law required that the criminal act done should he within the inri.direi bon of the place, 'and he inquired into where it oc curred. At least he hoped it would appear that there was euough of doubt in this extraoidi rimy cud lung-discussed case, to make it necessary to have a more satisfactory trial. Mr. Pnitetes followed ; he -aid that it was not his intention to go through the, arguineet agate, tilt it related to the civil law. It way necessary to refer to it, because Lord Holt ha.' said, that the civil law was transferred to the law of Eisglatel, slid it therefore becessieelecessery to see if there were no mistake in what was stated to he the civil law.

The moral guilt mtget coneisi in sensualism. but a criminal intent is not under she cognizance of human laws till some act ha, liven dour to carry it into execution. The Learned Counsel, on the authority or ■ treatise whine renew we coolie Dot catch, contended that the laws of Edward I. and the whole of the Saxon hies proverdeil on the sup position that the libel must be published. As to the•vexoe. he' Contended that in civil cameo the rule had been relaxed, hut in criminal procrediegs it had never been touched. In support of this propo sition lie cited Mee sled Hawkins. He contended that the presumption that Mr. Bickerstaff had been for two or three slays in the county of Middlesex be fore he received the letter, was as reasonable end probable as that Sir F. Bolden should be presumed to have been in Leicestershire oil the 23d mud 24th August, because he oat seen there on the 22d Au gust. But, at all events, it appeared clearly that publication did first take place in the county of Middlesex. and therefore the resat should have been laid in that county. The Learned Counsel then took a 'review of" the Learned Judge's charge to the Jury, and objected, that lie had stated that " the letter might have been liven and read by Blekerstaff in Leicestershire," whereis there was I nut a tittle of evidence to aliew • that Bickerstaff was in Leicestershire at all at the •time. The Leerard Judge also stated, that it lay with the Dee tendent to prove that the letter weiciest• pot in the post in Leicestershire, when in the nature of things that was impossible. supposing. what was extremely probable, lie had put it in the post himself. He had also roasted, that the Defeodant 1. delivered it out for publication at . Kirby;" but there was iso proof.at ell of that. These observations must, lie contended. have amide an undue impression on the minds of the Joey ; sod as in a case like the present it was desirable that the administration of justice should not only be pule. but perfectly unsuspected, he thought he war warrauted in asking of their Lordships that the rule for a new trial should be made absolute. Mr. BLACIESUati followed 011 the same side, sod cited several authorities in support of the proposi tions laid down by his Learned Colleagues who pees ceded him. At half-past three o'clock.
