ON D N , MONDAY, 21. We promised, on Saturday, sime obsorrei upon the Bill which Mr. Se! jeant Iles r r.‘s obtained leave to bring in, to prevent the publication of ex• parte evidence, in criminal cases, in the Ncsi spapers; or as it might, perhaps, be more pi operly c " Bill for increasing the labour of Judges, for the benefit of the Gent!ernen of the B.:r, and the en couragement of common ir.rnrrwrs." It is a cir cumstance not a little exttaar3in iry, that la hen ever a Gentleman brings for-war:3 • any measure for abridging the Liberty of the Press, he is sure to pre face it with a panegyric upon the value of that blessing, accompanied with professions of the great love a..d respe& which he bears it. He affals to put himself in the place of a fond parent correning a spoiled child, and suffering more pain from the chastisement, than the little truant whose errors have forced his relunant hand to strike. Mr. Ser ?ant Be.sr, when stating the outline of his Bill, has not been deficient in this particular ; and has represented the measure as the result of his great alfedlion for the Liberty of the Press. 1 hat an in dividual m ly be injured by the publication of e.r parte evidence in such cases, and that such publica. tions do sometimes appear in the Newspapers, are incontrovertible ; but as it c innot be desirable to any sincere friend of constitutional liberty, to ex tend the code of criminal law, and load the table with penal statutes, unnecessarily, let us see, ad mitting the gs:zvance, how far this new remedy is called for by the circumstances of the times. In the first place, then, as to ea-parte evidence, in the examination of persons before Magistrates at the Police Offices, the praElice of publishing it has been growing fcr some time into disuse. Amongst these, Bow-street Office is the principal shop ; and scarcely a case from it appears in the Newspapers once in a fortnight ; and when the great multipli city of business do se there is considered, this surely cannot appear to be one of those growing evils that calls for the i:.terference of the Legislature. In fat, among the few cases that do appear from Bow-street, most of them are such as the Magistrates could not disapprove, being published in furtherance of justice. as the means of eliciting new evidence, in dark, doubtful, and mysterious cases. Besides, intelli gence of this kind is the lowest and most contempti ble feature in a newspaper. The world, in its pre- sent agitated state, supplies matter of too much im portance to permit an Editor to fill his columns with the examination of thieves and pickpockets. at 'dow street aad Hatton-Garden.—So far then from this being a flagrant evil, calling for immediate and se vere laws to restrain its growth, it is greatly upnn the decline, and there never sea.; an ■ra in the hi•- tory of Newspapers, when a law upon the subjeCl was less necessary.—The same observation applies with almost equal force to conditional rules for at tachments and criminal informations in Westmin ster Hall. As publications, in cases of this kind, bearing with peculiar severity upon the character of innocent individnals, have occurred, the Court has, from time to time, declared its disapprobation ul this practice; and threatened to punish it.— "l he consequence has been a total interruption of this abu e; bat when the fear had subsided, some inferior paper resumed the prodlice, and this obliged the rest to follow itit example. Had, however, the Court visited its indignation upon the party thus offending, the practice would have long ceased to exist ; and, we are confident, that it is still only necessary for the Court to issue a peremptory order, and enforce it in the first case of its violation, to put an end to the abuse for ever. Now these ap pear to be the two great heads of offence which Mr. Serjeant Bssr seems anxious to correct ; and, if he will frame his Bill so as to meet them distinctly and clearly, without exposing printers to endless li tigation, he null do them a service. The mat ter of Newspapers will be henceforth more se led, and much money will be saved ; for the learned Serjeant may be assured, that the reports of those ex-parte proceedings are not obtained N ith out expence. But without meaning any reflection upon Mr. Besr, whose talents we highly retina we fear that he will not be able to accomplish this desirable purpose. Thanks to our ancestors, secret tribunals and inquisitions are unknown to this country, and contrary to the spirit of our laws. Our Courts of Justice are open, and as the law has not limited them to a certain size, the number of strangers present may be very considerable Are not then these ex-parfe proceedings made knnws of necessity to the public ? and is riot the evil in. herent in our free constitution ? For 111 these strangers, when they return home, will communi cate them to their respeilive societies ; and we should be glad to knew whether a publication of that sort t. calculated to excite a p•ejudice? I. then the principle is to he followed up, strangers mast be ex ciddA !run' Court> of Justify , ; foe even to pra labit them to viiiisper a'rroad, what they may hate heard in Conic, will not ar - e.over the purpose. 'l6 y will go away with their p-11.2i. es, ari d m ay b e evratu tliy anta.ng, ;he Jury vetso wi:: Sc v the cause.

All cases of _Criminal Conver-anon that come before it, Mr. Jo,tice Foz's case, a r d every other of a criminal complexion, an d the debates upon them, must be suppressei. By the like rule, the Newspapers ought not to hart.: mentioned one word of the debates in the li-us: Commons upon Viscount MEr•lLLe's CAS, tot hour, and when his Lordship's trial comes on, t same silence must be observed until its conchista Should it last as long as that of Mr. Floss tor, about eight years hence, the Newspapers may legal'y begin to retail it to the public. So far, however. tire Editor of a newspaper has fair play, and the road is plain before him ; but what shall be said of the vari ous cases, which, in their origin, w •ar a civil aspea, and ultimately prove of a et inainal nem te meats for forgery and per:ptry frequently grow out of Bills in equity, and aelions upon silt of Exchange. Only one criminal suit, viz. that against Vis count Meavif cc, has been as yet the result of ti e I,lbours of the Commissioners of Naval Enquiry. How many ()Ater' may be founded upon tho Twelve Reports now before the public, we cannot pretend to say ; yet, so far, they are all tsp./ule es ilenee ayainst the party, and consequently within the spirit, principle, and meaning of Mr. Best's Bill. In 10, so far as we can perceive that Get.::eman's object and motive, no Newspaper can be safe in giving the substance of any paper called for by Parliament, as it may he for the put pose of en quiry, and it is impossible to foresee to what en quiry may lead, and that it gray not ultimately prove ex parte evidence, upon a crimMal.plosecuticn. These, and a thcusand other cases of great hard ship and dliculty, will be thrown upon New.- papers by the proposed Bill, if the principle upon which it is recommended be followed up ; in which case it would be the most adverse that ever wit conceived to the spirit of our free constitution, and calculated for every purpose of arbitrary power, by keeping the people in the dark upon many questions of vital importance ; and if the Bill does not fol low up the principle, we ask, of what use can it be? --It only afferfts, as we have already sheen, cases for which a remedy is already provi.led. The learned Serjeatit admits, • that both the Air sv-G Le ea* t, and the party aggrieved, can call for punishment upon the publishers of (s -park evidence, in cases of criminal prosecution, and he has instanced one recent case, viz, the King e. the Printers of 7 - 1.0 Le=es Joarwal, in illustration of this position. Having thus sheen that the proposed measure is unneevssary, and that if carried into died it would prove severely oppressive, we now wish to know what flagrant instance of abuse, on the part r.f . Ole NeW Spa perSOIAS calk] for this extraordinary mea sure ? The learned Serjeant has stated t o, via, the Cases of Colonel &Apart!, and Mr. P tcb. We are perfectly aware that he was Counsel for Colonel Decaartl, and as such, is peculierlyAnalifiecl to say, how far public prejudice infloonced that mares fate; but that is an event of three year's sraudin;;, and cannot begin to operate now, for the first time. Mr. Patch's case, no dcubt ; is not liable to this objec tion ; hut, surely, it ta.root be salt, that tither IlApard et Parch, had not a fair Trial, and th.t" either of them was the victim of popular pre!odice, excited and fomented by ex-parts publication_ Newspapers.—lt requires all the strength of a liberal and enlightened mind, to divest itself, in cases to flagrant crime, of all prejudice against the party ac cused. Mr. Justice Fos r a*, and other exceilrint tees ters, feelingly lament, that Juries have, in such eases, been carried away to the conviction of innocent m:11 and therefore the prejudice will exist, although the Newspapers should be silent. In fact, as putilie opi nion generally lear.s to the unfavnurab:e At, it may be aquestion, whether Newspapers do not operate as a corrective, by giving a fair view of a case,,c hicle private whispers cculd extort and exaggerate and, therefore, for one man that has a right to complain, twenty may have reason to be loth' fled with the Newspapers; but this is going fa tli:r than we wish. We do not approve of the publication of Ar-rarte evidence, either in case cf examination before the Police Magistrates, or on motions for criminal informations in Westminster Mali. It is true that such publications often had to the deteaioa of guilt, and that the fear of public , enso i sure prevents many applications to Courts c; Justice; bUt it is much better that litigation shozl..: increase; and that a thousand offenders should ipe pun:blieure!. that one ignoceut
