Mr. GAcctnw, in string the case for the prosecu tion, with his usual eloquence. observed upon the mischievous consequences arising from such an of 'refine as the precept, tending to destroy the morals, the hunonr, and the health of the rising gentratiea. He had the satisfailion to state, that by the comment of Mr. Laws, the Prisoner's Counsel. the' Court would be saved the pain of hearing these diabolical "libels repeated, and, thereby, much of that ohjeat which had h-en made to this sort of prosecution.

Is this the WWI to Mr.i.4Ws.fer the Defeo dant, made a very ingenious defence. He considered there WAS not any publi cation in this case; the wretched Defendant was no. thing more than a miwrahle mend cant, seeking a livelihood by what means he could; these genie men, therefore, earning and purchasing from him these books, did not prove a maiscious intent upon his part. 'Nese gen•l•an-n, w;tii the very best in. tension, nn dotiot, purchased them, but it did no; appear that they had even opened a single page of • them. Many err rent and ibilegleress-d persons had tortitied bias in the opinina, that these s-set of pro secutions were hinter avoided. as t'at puhl;catina of them must spread the mischief the Mote, instead of repressing it. Tim.--e not heing, therefore, any proof of a malicious ii,tennon on the part of the De fendant, he trusted the Jury woaid find a emdte of. acquittal. Lord Ett.itissoention observed, that from the very delicve and props.r manner an white; this pro sects:ion WAS conduded; where not even a hint at the meaning of these obscene pn'alications had been given, the public morals could not he affected or jraresi.

He could not les ignorai,t of the tenor of these publications. These publications contained the must beastly and abominable obscenity he had eter met with, and the armee was of the greatest magnitude, inasmuch as it tended to subvert and destroy the morals, the hollow, and the health of the rising generation. The Inty, without hesitation, pronounced the Defendant Gatiliv. • THII [IMO W. 111001111.

The Defend int was a soap-boiler by trade, and the Prosecutor, Mr. Henry Reynell, an Excise 06- ficer. When attendin4 the warehouse of the De fendant, in the course of his duty, he was prncecd ing to gauge the boiler, which contained the bo l iug soap ; when the Defendant conceiving the stuff was not boiled suAciently, desired that that which had been drawn off in the pans should be thrown back again. flue the offizer resisted, as being con trary to the Aet ; and while gauging the vat, the Defendant auempted to overturn the boiling stuff, part ut which fell upon the Prosecutor, and scalded him severely.

Sir Vic•ity Gimes, in opening the case of the Plaintiff, regretted exceedingly that the par:iet had not come to an amicable aojostmerit of this question. before Coq same into Court; both these geotlernen were particularly eminent iu thrill way, and it was a pity they should be thus at variance. Mr Ho,skins, immediately after the glorious battle of Cr-441pr, prepared a picture, in commemoration use gallant hero.

At first it was intended to lye a ' olain black meiantinto plate, but after the work had been going on for ab .ut two trientins, the plan was Altered, an! it was thought better to hare it a on loured or tinted print. In this ease it was necessary 'o malt- considerable alterations, the plate being originally prepared fur a plain black impressieps...'

Wlattin t a smaller pi i.re ; but that could not avail In this case ; for there has es considerable pro gress made it the engraving for a plain print, before the alteration was th,ught of ; so tom in the end it came to the...am awing. It might be objeaed, as k a Metter of defene-, that this was nut done according to the original contra/ s Auld that it was not eom ple'ely within the time stipulated; but to this, he answered. the as to tile former, the De fendant h Id made the con; raa h;* man by adoptian s rid. as to the I 'tic', be wopli thew. that. all Mt* dal Rabe was used by Mr. Young and his assistants, and any delay that was occasioned, arose from the piaure being taken away to Mr. Laurence's for some days. and also to Load Malmsbury's. He had no doubt, that it might be said, there were per. sons iw toss line who would have done this work at a much cheaper rase ; but when a person chooses to, empl y a man of, emineoce, he most pay accord ingly. It never ssould have bean argued, that that eminent painter, bir Joshua Reynolds, should only be paid at the - sans* rate of an artist of muth inferior talent. After some further &nervations, Joffe Quill) , was called. He was an apprentice to Nlr. Young, and had assisted him in the two ce- ' lehrated pints of Mr. Kemille, in Rona, and the print of liteeles. The drawing from which the print in yestion was taken, was put into his hands about the 14th January. The ground-work was prepared by another hand, wh • was one of the best ground-layers known.

Tie nr igioa I drawing being produced in Court, was handed to him, and after comparing it with one of the finished prints, produc ed by the Plaintif f , he declared it was remarkably well eeecuted, but never having published any ca g ed prints himself, he could not speak to the price. Mr. Turner, another eminent engraver. Waa, next produced, and stated, that although the print in ques tion was not done in that style, which he practised arid approved of, yet in its vray it was very well ex ecuted, and the charges frAllanaable.
