He agreed also with his Learned Brother's is rvation., on man eunl.l doubt it was a libel. In all those dots be tweed with the rest of the Court, hot the difficulty F. lend was upon the direction of the Learned Judge Mt to the t . ibliratioe in the county of Leicester. It was a technical no doubt, loot Ind at all inlerferiug with the merit. f the ea-e; but if it wove %old, an object Wu as he was nut ..le to overc o me, he .11.110.1 he flying f his dusty if he 3 not avow tool give the D. feuslent the benefit of it. The whiting of the letter was avowed by Sir Francis Burdett, in h s letter to laird Siduionth, and there was evidence that on the 24th Brooks received it In Loneun, or Middlesex, Mei Bielerrstaff. There was Bleu an envellow, which . eitainvd • atria-tot ',urn the Defendant to Bickerietalf . pass the libel to Brooks. How it reached Kicker. of there was 1111 evidence; that gentleman was not es:tiled to prove liner it tame to him, nor was there :thy te..itkoire that hr lived in, or um even near :lie county Leicesi , r at Ike time. The Learned Judge .hi the Jury at the trial, Chet they might prerome the let !, r was delivered open to Mr. Bicker:staff in the county of I...iicestre. The objection es Islets he hail to that eltiection ...is, that it lett to the Jury what there was no premises to warrant ; and in delivering it to Bickerstaff, it supposes no other species of delivery. At far as keratoid judge of the tin. deuce, there were nu ground. foe that direction. Presumption rrtainly might have piece in criminal as well as in civil ; and, as far as be could judge, more than half the s sea in which parties eerie convicted, wete founded on pre y ;minion, and prestimption only, but t het presumption as founded on sufficient premises. In the instance of theft, the gouda beitsg found its posoission of a person, you Itiew presumed that he committed the theft. So that he thought it impossible to say, that its criminal cases pre.ump. tion might not hearted open. The question wree,whetilm r there were an ffis ir tat premise.v to warrant the p.reuto pt tun. There 'broth] be o prima Ark cure mail. mint. Here was a double reposition ; Ist, That a valor delivered to Blekerstsif was it, hewed personally in the county of Leicester; 2elly, If that paper were delivered open. It was for the Proweeitor to make out the primeeforie case, and did he advance any evi dence on either of those points Did it follow because lie was seen with it in London, that he received it in Lewes. Lei...hist.; and because st was found open, that it was therefore delivered open Suppose 4.n such evidence the proweisturs hol gone before a Grand Jury (that Issas the mink be wool.] propose, to try if there were a y rhea foie case), nail they did nut call Biekerstaff, but they detheil the Geoid diary to come to the conclusion, that because the I.ller was dated in Leicestershire it was there fore written there. He should thick the Grand Jury would hardly have been satisfied without fliekerstaff had been called before them; without loos evidence, he should imcgisie they never would say there lied been a pith. I caii..n in Leicestershire ; they might sae. we fiad • p u tsiicatioi, in al oldlesec, but they might also say, .• Jou'l loisig it before ass as a Leicestershire publication, when you offer no evidence of any pablication in Lehrer.- tershite." He tried this as a case before • Grand Jury, be cluse, altheugh it was a criminal infoi minion, yet that dirt eat racy the rule of evidence, fur the Atiorney-Gencrel would nut file such sit information maces he thought he had evidence to satisfy a Grand Jury. Where the matter Ins peculiarly within the knee ledge of one of the parties, that may vary the 01110 ; here it did not so rest, because emit, knew from *horn he received it, he -knew lie had it from Bicki rstaff; and granting that Brooks was uuwtlh g to disclose from whom be bad the letter, a process might Wee issued to call hint before the Grand Jury, sod hr must have di.clused it. t%•11 it fin - reline 'um. cteut to say to the Jury, Bitherstaff can tell you to me absolute certainly if the letter was deliver.d to him in Leicestesshire or not, and if delivered opi n or not; but I won't cell him, but desire you to presume those facts. il.s subjection was, that there was no evidence to go to the Jury; rand it did see m to him that the Learned Judge was mistaken in supptieing that in the absence of Biekerstaff there was try such cud. nee tu go to the Jury. There was tau evidence teat Brooks had ever been applied to to know from when be receive) it. They acre equally ignorant whether any attewpt had b.voi made to have Itickerstaff on the trial or not. But as far as he could judge, it was the duty of the Cross to lave hint there as a witness, as is was part of their case to sheer that Bwkerstaff receiv ed the letter from Sir FraliCif Burden, sod there was then.- fo. e no grounds laid fur the Jury to form • presumption tither one way or the other. The prosecutor should have "pealed ilw Jury to act upon knowledge said not upon con jectuee. It eopeated in him that there was nut a sufficient petite facie c.ce 'Hideout to warrant the jar) in presuming a deiive.y m the county of Leicester, and that was the promo, of the conscieutions difficulty *loch he bad elides. owned to expo ss. It was said there was evidence euough to thew that the libel was delivered either to to, or put into the Post Office in Leicestershite. If the Jury mast have presumed they le n there ought to he no tee • trial, bill if it *loud ou suiphi,ou'y be thought there should. It seen,. el to loam that of it acre to be suppased,although not personally de. livered to Birk , rstaff, it yet left the hand of Sir F Burdett in Le/seat...shire, flint was never distinctly pot to the Jury. That brought on the question if a dose coniuninicat ion were a publieethiss. On that lie would give no opinion, hut lie mould say, that if a Judge were to sell a Jury that • sealed eosnmutin so ion was a publication, then the Defendant had a right to ask fw • spiieial verdict, to order that he might have the opinion of a Court of Error. The word publics. tion might have difft rent meaning., but there was no slothw city on this subject to hike away the right to a ern of error. Here be most say of Lord Eilenborutegli, that although un doabiedly • malt of strung mind and great capacity, be was not always right at Nisi Prins, yet lie must do hint the justice to say, that no man was ever more ready to recede from an opinion, when mature, consideration jinn. bed the change. le the case of the King v. Wat.oo, be had on opportunity of reconsidering his opthion. In the case of the King r. Williams, the charge was eroding a clod lenge, and although the word publish was used iu tlint case, the crime was the act of seniiimg, mid there was to doubt that a man sends where he parts with it from his baud. The Learned Judge then cited the case of the King against Cullinson to thew that the question of publicatiun was so far of doubt as to entitle a Defendant to the eousirleratiou of a Court of Error. Ou that poi.* he had fur a consider. able space of time been of opinion that the composing, welting, aud publishire, were properly proved, and be bail eestseated to have the rule discharged uu that ground; but in the course of these discussions he hid funned the opinion thot tier ease was by nu meas. so etar as to preclude the Defendant from having it oil the record. He thought that the whole corpus detitii should be in one county, and in that respect there was uo 41.ffen oce between felony and misdenteauur. The Learned Jnolge then cited the opinions of Lord Hate and Mr. Juetiee Blethstoue, and several caws from the old books, in support of his opinion; and concluded, that if there were teisouable doubt on the point, a vs relict which went to cadmic the Defeenlant Irons the benefit of that doubt, ought not to A question bud been raised, as if writing per se were an off. nee; but ibat sot being * question on the re. cord, it was essat y for him to declare au opinion ; but stn the ground" which Ise bail already stated, he was of opi nion, that the verdict in its present form ought nut to stand. 'I be LOAD CHIMP' 'UPTICK will, he was uf opiwiun that the rule for a emir trial ought to be discharged. The mean ing of the word publication had been debated, and the Court had been referred to Dictionaries for the • xpieustioa, but in law, as is other wieners, some words welt used it, a muse Merest fium the popular one. His Lordship ri fined to the pahlicatims of 'Muds awl wills, which were before inentioned i and said, in like manner is cues of libel Mie pub. licatios did not ONINS a einsisseasileation. Re Hai a opluisis that the Jury were piroperly directed to pressing t h e pub lication is Leicestershire. With regard to the evidence, it appeared to him that the Prosecutor did NI know that Ilse paw cwer was in Bickerstrlrs heeds. The Jury beard the ereurneute of Cvonsel aft to publication. soil be had coosidrred it wish greet euxiety os account ref his di ff ering in ripiaion with hi s Learned Brother (Boyley). hi his opinion, the premiers did rearrest the presumption that the libel was delivered to Mr. Bickerstaff ia Leires. tershire in the same state in which it came to Bronkr's band. To bare presumed Sir Francis Burdett had gone out of the evenly, or that the teller was delivered scaled, l i was , h e ghoo•hr, ito draw a presumption wilboat any premise*. it wee not necessary, in his opinion, to amt. lain the verdict that no other conclusion costal be drown ; be thought Mot the most reasonable inference from the prestige', and that the hate was perfectly justified in so 'Wine it to the Jewry. Notwithstanding the high respect which he entertained for the opinion of his Learned !trotter (Bayley), be thought they would rot be jii.sified in granting a new trial, in order to have cep. lain facts pot upon the record, more especially in a ✓ase whirr it was not called for at the trial It was ✓aid that She Defendant . might have put the paper in hi, porker, and rode into another county, and there pot it in the post. oilier. Snesposing that were true he shunld Mill say be ought to be con•tcted of the whole of the charge in the county of Leicester. In a misdemeanor of distinct parts be was of opinion that the whole might be tried in any nue county. On this he entertained not a particle of doubt. It was contended that the Defendant could not be tried in either county, or in other words, not tried at ail. Stich conclusion would be an abosodily, and proved to his mind the falsehood of the premises. On the groom! of the rejection of evidenee, he was of opitrion that the evidence offered was properly rejected. The Learned Jadge supported his opiniou by • citation of eases, and cencludeol by stating, that be was of opinion there was ll* ground for a new trial. 1114 KING V. EDMONDS. CARTWRIGHT, AND OTHERS.

'fi-I LONDON, TUESDAY, NOTCMDEII as, 1820. Yesterday the Court of King's Bench refused the rale for a new trial in the case of The KING awsinst Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, and thereby established, among many mons trous notions, the doctrine a that guilt may be presumed where evidence is insuffi cient, and that a letter sealed up and put into a post-office, to be opened in a distant county, i s a puldteution of such letter is the piste where it was so cooled and committed to the post-office.

The KING'S ATTORNEY...GENERAL having re solved to file informations ex-officio against the Proprietors of certain public Papers for libels re toweling the Government, we would Pugged to the QUEEN'S ATTORNEY-GENERAL the expediency of following the example with respect to the ministerial writers, who are incessantly employed in insulting her MAJESTY. Such a proceeding is due to the outraged character of the country, for the vindica tion of its taste, loyalty, and humanity. We are perfectly aware that the QuEEN herself is extremely averse to the adoption of any measures which might savour of hardship or severity, even towards her revilers or persecutors ; but it is a mistaken princi ple of clemency and mercy to salter the brutal ma lignity of such persons to riot in the consciousness of impunity. It may, indeed, be urged, in proof of the futility of any proceedings against them, that in cases of conviction the Ministers, who encourage their vile trash, will indemnify them from the effects of any sentence which may be pronounced by the King's Bench ; .but the assurance of this, while it removes the difficulty ari g from the ten derness of her MAJESTY'S nature, ought not to prevent the public exposure of their indecent ribaldry, nor deprive a Jury of honest Englishmen of the satistsctiou they must feel in openly express ing to the world, on behalf of their country, their hearty detestation of the disgraceful means adopted, or at least permitted by the Ministers of the Crown, to blacken her MAJESTY'S reputation, and pervert every action of her life into a topic for scandal or reproach. ‘l'hile the Ministerial Papers thus abuse the liberty of the press, sad by their indecent bur faoneries disgust every honourable mind—while the Ministers of the Crown not only permit, but re ward such gross licentiousness—while they encou rage and promote the most illegal and unwarrant able attacks upon every character, public and pri vate, no matter how estimable, which may chance to be opposed to their measures, by what pretence of injury do they venture to authorise the ATTolt- NEY-GENERAL , in filing iuforaisations against any part of the public press? We certainly do not mean to defend the improper conduct of several writers in what are called Opposite Papers, nor do we deny that many of their productions have been libels well deserving of punishment; hut we do deny the right of the Ministers of the Crown to demand from a Jury a verdict against any writer whatever for an alleged abuse of the liberty of the press. while they themselves countenance conduct equally atrocious on the pert of their own writers. flmey do not come into Court with " cleat hands ;" they are not Tern in curia ; they stand in the can dition of defamers and libellers themselves—a class of psrsnes who, by the old law, were disabled from bringing actions for calumny and defamation, and who in modern practice are looked upon in our Ceurtr with great and deserves! suspicinu. If The Examiner, or The or The Chronicle, or any other Paper, should have written with ill advised severity agaicst tie Ministers of the Crown, is ilitre nut a set-off, if not a justification, ii the itolecent scerrilities, the malignant calumnies, the flagitious insults, the lies—ilie wicked lies which the The Pest and Courier are daily vent- Mg upon private personas to gratify the depraved appetites their Inv rnn. or their own cot. rowed natures ? A Jury might well say to the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, "You have laid before us a very intemperate piece of winning, but you have not shewn that any injury has been sustained by the 111milisters who have instituted this prosecution. You have not shear' to us that this l iver was written with any uthrr intro' than to correct time no less in temperate *riling% issued either by those Ministers themselves, or by their minions limier their Emu inn. ofrcluite authority. You have not shewn to OS at Irast that the Ministers hive at any time displayed any I 'tillable anxiety to correct the abuses of the piers, or to temver its licentiousness by checking or punwhitig any of their own scribes; we cannot, therriore, give you credit fur your professions, nor believe that your object in presecuting this de ferodaut is any other than the gratification of • yin• digitise freling, unnecessary for %indicating the ho. inns of the Crown, fur securing the sratiquillity of the State, and foreign bum the true interests of juvice." The Committee met at Guildhall yesterday, and sat from eleven till four o'clock to orpike arrange- Merits for her MAJESTY'S going to St. Paul's. The Dean and Chapter have consented to the adrui.siou of 4,000 special constables to enter the chinch at ten o'clock. A liertum WOOD will sit at Guildhall from twelve to two o'clock ibis dry to swear them in—the first two thousand who enter their names will be admitted into the church, and all ribose that number will attend in the streets from Temple bar to St. Paul's.
