Mr. Fa r arson, who took the notes in sherthsod of the Lord Chancellor's judgment was then called.—He took his notes in the usual way, a nd had the transcript with him in his own baud-writing, the original notes had been mislaid oe lost. Mr. JERVIS objected to his reading his transcript, he isherreved that the same evidence had twee offered upon • forme occasion, upon the trial of the cand of Williams against Callender, and rejected by the late Lurd Elks borough. Mr. Baron GARROW said, he entertained the highest re. sped for the judgment of Lord Ellentioroagh, 'bet ill was to he vecollected it bad bees pronounced upon an occasion were an objection having been made, that objection was ac eriesced in; now he should have been happy to have heard the arguments in support of the objection. Whatever de ference be might entertain for the opinion of the late Lord Elleeboroagh, he had • judgment of his own upon which lie should deem it his ditty to act. It was • circemoance well known that there were many Gentlemen who, by habit and experience, were able to write nearly as fast as another . could speak; some, by merely taking • few abort notes, with the assistance f a retentive memory, were enahled is another place (he alluded to the gallery of the House of Commons) to give the report of the speeches di livered is that Horse in a mailed that astonished all Europe.

His original notes unquestionably wield have been evidence; these had been lost, hut he had the translation or transcript of them made immediately after the original notes were taken. This •ftes, therefore, the best evi dence which could lie offered, and, in his opiiiion, there coald be no available objection to it. It was evidesee he was In clined to receive. 1 the Common Pleas, some .lame of blame attached noon Jones himself. It appeared that the Lord Chancellor Mime( svperreded the commission, permitted Ames to brig au ar. two, mud Impounded the bond usually gleen ass seem tiy to the Lord Chancellor to answer fur the damages heel ought recover.

This trial of this came listed the whole of yesterday, sod finished this Jay at there detach. The leading circumstances proved in evidence were these :—The Prosecutor, Sir Thomas, S. Champoeys, wan described as • gentleman of ancient 'family, of Orchard !rich-pink, sear From; Seimersetehire, and of cousidera. lele patriimmielestate. From the evidence of the Baronet at appeared, that for the last thirty years be had been greatly ember/wed iti his cirthenthimee, and bad bee* raising mo ory;dorieig* that lisp's, by aunutties, mortgages on his re versiooary lutenist in his father's estate, and by inegociatiog bilbr .1 exchange. In the month of July last year, he •MYa 11 prisoner widths the Kelm of the King's Bench pet shofar debts to • considerable amount, and was known to be" }tau greatly einteartsoied to his circumatauces, but of coos able expectations oc the dea th of his father, wLes wait u olive. In that mouth the Dcfeudaut, Palmer, or treehiced himself to the Baronet as a monied man, capable of idiotic:the cash to any mount, sod offered to procnre money on the Baronet's acceptation,. The Prosecutor wished to HUM about 2,0001. to relieve hint from his then present difficaltiee, and the Defendant engaged to raise the money with the amialance of the Defentlaut, Park, whose agent be professed to be. The negociation was opened by Palmer's re presenting that be was possessed of • valuable casters, or camp sideboard of plate, belonrug to Bonaparte, which hail beets smuggled tato lids °seamy, seized, and sold at the Custom house, at the price of 48u guineas; sad he offered to sell this to him for hie acceptance fur 8001., suggesting that it was worth 8001. The Prosecutor being greatly in want of cash, accepted a Gill, drown, at the suggeation of Palmer, by George Higgins, a servant of the Prosecutor out of livery, and endorsed by Higgins. This impeaches took place on Sat Imlay, the 28th of July. The Prosecutor wanted to raise about 1001., to meet some demands on the Monday following. Palmer represented that the coo -1 teen belonged to a friend of the Prosecutor, Lord Blesiu )Sees, arid that he ruold raise 4001. upon it immediately. 100 this represeutation the Prosecutor accepted she lAN; stud Palstei, in compapy with a Mr.*mi,, a laudoegeut em ployed by the Prosecutor, wean out for the purpose of raising the mosey awn the canteen.

The Defendant Park was a r. terwsrds introduced to the Prosecutor as the real owner of the canteen, the latter disclaiming any property in it, on the part of Lord Blesinton, and stating that it was worth 5001. The Prusecatur slating that he wanted 2,0001. to re lieve him from his present diEficeltice, Park undertook to raise that sum upon she Numerator's acceptances, through the agency of Palmer, tad accordingly the Baronet accepted three other bills to the amount of 1,5001, drawu by the same George Niglio* iu Park's favour, fur which the Prosecutor was to receive a quantity of choice claret and sherry., which Park, as the proprietor of the Clarendon Hotel, Bil04:-.1814:1, bad iu his poinession; stud acceptances of • Mr. Lee, repre tested to be the son of Lord Lee, coming to the Peerage with a fortune of 40 or 0,000/. per annum.

In point of fact, the Prosecutor never ',velvet, inure thou the 105 E above-misstothed fur them securities. It was al leged that the whole of this was a complete soiediing trees action, fur the purpose of defraudiug the Prosecutor; arid it was proved that Park was acquainted with the Weikel. stances under *bleb 'be bill was drawn. _ _ TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.

AlvJ [RIM addres•ing the Jury, .aid he presented himself on the part of the wdh • demand for damages at the hands of the Jury to the full amount of the lain in the declaration. They were only laid at 8001, he wss sorry that sum had not been extended to 5,1W0/. The action wall brought by Mr. Williams, a solicitor of considerable emi. settee, for the vindicathen of his character against line of the foulest and moss scandalous libels that wan ever published. Ile elated it to be %kiwi of that description, because it had already been found to he such, and there was no doubt Mr. Allen knew at tbe time he was gushy of publishing this libel, there had been a conviction fur the same publication as far back as the year 1810. The Plaintiff had for many yeas. resided at Monmouth where he had cue reM on an extensive prictice al an attorney and aulicitor, but in co/sequence of some elect' diaagreentents there, he found it more suitable to retire to the city of Hereford, where he had received the rudiments of tide education. Mr. Allen, the Defendant, was well known ; he was the son • respectable bookseller, and a very young man. There was in the city of Hereford • permanent library, consisting of many subvcribers ,• their object was the diffusion of woeful knowledge., soil they were p•rticeslarly solicitous as to the exclusion from their imetitution of all books of so immoral or ir religions ieuelency. It was difficult to assign • motive for the conduct of the Defendant towards the Plaintiff, sin less it was that their political principle's were extremely dif ferent. Al a hue istio•l 'netting of the members of the so ciety, it had become the ditty of also were a•semblcil to consider whether books of an tendency should be sufferid to continue us their shelves. Anomie other bunk, which had found their say to the library were Bar deen'. Materiels pr Thinking, !lone': Aprocryphal New Testament, and seversl others of the same description. He hoped the Jury were Igporaut of them; be would take the liberty of cantioolog them against the pullutioo of tomb books, fir they were titter deislieal or atheistical. Accord- Wilily, ate meeting Consisting of 44 subscribers, it was deter. mined by the members present, with the exception of Mr. Allen mud three other., that three hooka should be burnt, and that Rae?: Ettettenssery, and flame and Gibbon's tits tory should widesgo the some fate. Soots after this look place the Defendant thonght 41 to publish the libel in tires lion.• It was not a work printed recently, not attractive for its novelty, but it had been printed in.Loedun in UHL by a person who probably it,. Lordship would recullect, a pir., Andrew MtMahon. The Learned Counsel proceeded to de.. 'crib/ the mode by whit* the Defendant bad, through vari ous hande, caused the libel to be conveyed to the library, and read a number of pamages fruits the wuik. Ito title was, " The Farmer against the Three Anoraks; or, Justice Wet dicated.—High Court of Chancery, illichaelms. Term, 1808, and Hilery Term, 1800.-.Jostes worms Williams, Pryer, and powol.—marasing Woe Hankroutcy superseded—with the hem 'mini. Doc m ew of Sig Samuel Roroilly, in his admirable reply Is this ease uporterehe severe hardships of the Bankrupt Leos, and the .ectimps ,tlt,rieh imppressors *most the op pressed. By Andrew APillsherti, E.q. of the Middle Temple, Barrietee, LLB." The general scope of this pensphlet was, that Mr. Williams, with the assistance of Pryce and Powell, had oppressively issued a cuouniseion against Jones, founded upon a debt which did nut exidt, and that, glee a variety of prsceedinp, both commission was set aside at the experts of .blessrs. Williams, Pryer, and Powell, who were Mum, pelted to pap upwards of 2,0001. to Mr. Richard Hill, as Solicitor of Jones, in satisfaction inf the costs, and to prevent, the consequence: of so action brought against them fee their illegal conduct in issuing the commission. The' Learned Couissiri ittreadieg the vat ions passages of the libelf which professed to give en wettest of what had passed kg the Court of Cb r y, and particularly of the Lord Chan. delta's Iddment;'ittoolended that the statement was highly dlyravatrd aarl *belly unlike any thing that had been said' tallier by the Conned, or by the Learned Lord Chancellor r who heard the petition and decided spot. its merits. The Plaintiff had preferred the present action to an Indictment, io tirtirr to 'prelim Defendant so opportunity of justifying the libel, which he had nut dared to do. He understood that upon the prreeist °minim the Defendant had the benefit of the allemleeef of Mr. Hill, the Attorney for Junes, the Jury would consequently hear from Mr. Hill and the wif e the Deft - adapt might examine, what there wag of troth in the libel.• lie woe confident it would be (wind there was very little truth in it, on the contrary, the grossest misrepresentation. The Learned Counsel baring detailed very moth at length all the circumstances of ibe ease, re peated his assurance that the Jury would consider his Meet entitled to exemplary damages. The preliminary proof was then gone through sad the libel was read. Mr. Ten wrote observed, that if this was a case of any other description than that which in the simile' it would turn oat to be-oil it was a case, the watement of whichon hie part I'M quired any thing of talent to ley it before the Jury—or if, ei the other hand, the case of his Learned Friend was not se• pable of a satisfactory answer, be undoubtedly should rift with feelings of painful and intense anxiety, consider's', as be did, that the future (trinities and homm pre young sae who had just made his entrance on the OW scene of life were committed to his care and protect iue. He was, beer. ever, satisfied that nothing more was called for from him at present, then to make a very few Ma-ple and plaits observa tions upon the case stitch hal been proved ois the behalf atlas Plaintiff, and to lay before the Jury, as he was sorry to Mir he should be under the necessity elwisit, I ha real errors stances of the trammelled, an seminal of which was set forth in the pamphlet complained of as a libel against Mr. Wil liam His Learned Friend had opened a great many Mr cunsstaurres of a highly aggravated and irritating nature, not one of which, save the pamphlet statel in the record, had he proved ; emcee other things it bad been stated, that although the libel Lid been sent to the library without the offensive caricature originally affixed to it, yet that the Defendant bad circulated the libel sith the obnoxious print to I per iwig. Of that there was not the least proof. He would now proceed to that which was the taste substantial part of the case—the libel itself, and the nature and contents of the libel. The observations he should be under the painful tie versify of making were furred upon him by Mr. Williams; they wets not, with rtspeet to himself or his client, volun tary observation.; Mr. Williams himself bad brought the cause into Court, and had instructed his Counsel to ask fur the full amount of the damages in the declaration, accom panied with am expression of regret that they were not laid at • higher amount.

A petition had been presented to the Lord Chancellor Eldon to have that commission super seded, and although the petition contained a great deal of long, tedious, and multiferiow matter, yet it contained sufficient to induce that Learned and intellment Lord to supersede the commission with costs: now that could no: have been done unless the Lord Chancellor had been of opinion that there was enough of the substantial nfiegation contained is the pe tition verified to his satisfaction, to render it au imperative duty in him to supersede the commission of bankrnotcy with costs. Unquestionably Jonee's petition contained the state. menh of a great meoy irrelevant particular., but in substance the petition slated this—that Jones had been a farmer is the county of Nlonnustb—that a commisaton of bank ruptcy bad been issued against him on the petition of two persona of the manse* of Powell and Pryce, found ed on au alleged debt pf 150/., which, i• the result, was proved sot to have been due to them; the ratios also (loosed the Plaintiff with bevies, been the person who in stigated the taking oat the commission of bankruptcy. The pentium stated in substance, that the debt of 1501. upon whirls the commission of bankruptcy bad been taken out, had Item reduced by taxation by the proper officer of the Cuutt, namely, by Master Stanley, with the assistance of the Prothonotary of the Common Pleas, to a sum infinitely be. low shat was necessary to form the basis of a eunitnts.too of bankruptcy—the petition prayed that the commission might be eispersedrd with costs, to be payed by Mr. Williams and the others who were iintranteetsl in taking it out. The pe titiuu came on to be heard, and it was for giving such an stemma a. this pamphlet contained of the proceed ings upon the petition before the Lord Chancellor, and of Ms Lordship's judgment upon the occasion of the petition being heard, that the Defendant stood before the Jury as the supposed publisher of a libel. It would be incumbent on him 10 give evidence of what the circumstances of the case really were, and when the Jury had adverted to the teal cirenonsteneer, they would ask themselves what amount of sausages the Plaintiff had a right to demand at their bends. He would lay evidence before them distinctly prow tug that Mr. Milian)s was instrumental so taking out this commission. Ile should lay evidence before the Jury nut to verify the whole sat the statesmen', or to go the length of an entire instificatom of the contents of the book, but suo'i c,,..l to t a lly to p oo imtate any claim on the part of Mr. Wil liams to any thing beyond itemise', damages. 'the Learned Counsel theu entered into a lung detail of the ducumeo tare evidence, which would be proved by Mr. Hill, consisting of letters seinen by Mr. Williams, mut a variety of proceed-- in k s brought down from the bankrupt's office, all tending to sheer the interest Mr. Willies's took iu supporting the commie-ion against Junes, and his managionent and inter- 1 fen thrcughout the trauterVou, from the commeuceweut Mr. Jeans said, that such evidence bad been lecture re sisted, and he bad only objected to it that he might not ap pear wiser than hie predecessors. Mr. Farquharson then read a considerable goelton of the Lord Chancellor's judgment, which detailed the r , aimns upon which be superseded the commission, gave the 'monism certain of the loausactions, and refused them with regard to others. Mr. Jan Via made a very able reply, combating Ibe :User tiuus of the Defendant'. Counsel, and repeating that the question was of momentous importance to Mr. Waimea-- of much greater importance than any sum that could be re ceived by him in this or any other action, fur it depended epos the verdict whether he should longer retain the jually high character he was koowo to have possessed up to this present period. The Learned Counsel then commented et large upon the whole of the evidence, oral fad documentary, and at steady 12 o'clock at night concluded a must energetic appeal to the Jury in his client's favour. Mr. Baron Giaaow asked the Learned Counsel on both sides, and also the Jury, whether at this late hour it was ne cessary for him to recapitulate the whole of the evidence, for which be was prepared, or do more than concentrate the case into that concise form which would enable the Jury at once to form their declaim,. The Jury and the Counsel ou bush sides observed that a detail of the entire man of evidence was quite unnecessary. His Lordship then stated the nature of the action. It was an action brought by Mr. Williams, wbu its hi■ declaration described himself as a person who had hitherto preserved an unsullied name and reputation, having acted oppressively or injuriously towards any of his Majesty. subjects, particularly towards Richard Joon. is relates,* to the bankruptcy issued against bins. His Lordship then adverted to the preliminary part of the case, namely, the fact of publication, and the libellous character of the publication; upon both these points his Loolehip's mind was satisfied ; first, that the act of publicatims by the Defendant was complete; and secutidly, that the publicatiou was is itself of • scandaloint:y libeilols character. 'liking it to be a libel, cud to have been published by the De. fendant, the next question was, this not being UAW ment,but an action fur the injury dose to the Plaintiff's good name and character, what damages Pletutiff was entitled to. Upon that subject it was secessary to look at all the proceedings in which be was • party concerned. The Plain tiff stated that be bad always conducted himself with pro. priety in his profesairs--that be had never been guilty of an act of oppression, particularly against Jones Iu suing out a commission of bankruptcy. Letters lied been produced from which the Jury might draw their conclusion as to what were the feelings of Mr. Williams before the commission was seed out—t►ey would judge from the language he had employed, and the manner in which be bad wtilleu, what was Isis disposition to inflict •ll the puoislinteat within his reach upon Junes, and whether the commission of bankruptcy wan not one of the mean■ of punishment. The proceediup is the Common Pleas, the proceedings in Chancery, the able and luminous judgment of the Lord Chancellor, all had been submitted to the Jury, and the only question was the quantum of damages to which Plaintiff was eutitled. It appeared that the Lord Chancellor considered that the com mission could not be sertained, and had therefore sup. . aided it, wi is costs, to be paid by the Plaiutiff, and all who had soy t►ing to do with it, and that .his Lordship had eudc•voured to place Jones, as well es be could be placed, iu the situation he would have been if the commis sion bad newer Wolter'. It had been stated that the Lord Chancellor did nut gise the cods of an action in the Com mon Pleas; but the Lord Chancellor, who always gave a good rename for what he did, hail distinguished be tween the costs of the action in the Grosso Pleas, and the costs of superseding the com•erissiuu. ass Lerellehep bad been of opluioui, that with respect to the p ocorthogo is Goats Harway was r spinally indicted fur truetti•riously breaking and celeriac the dwellioc-house: of M..
