SUN NEWSPAPER comtnenced this day cl 5 minutes past S o'clock. - -- ;7?" LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 11125. The late decision on the question of the Speaker ship, has struck dismay to the hearts of the Tories. Not a man among them all but confesses that the re sult was wholly unexpected by him. The faction had buckled on its armour, and combined its forces for the struggle ; but the phalanx has been overthrown, and it needs no great sagacity to foresee that, however it may threaten, it will never again make effectual head against the people. What makes the defeat of the Tories more decisive is, that it has beer, brought about by a Parliament s':arnoned expressly by themselves ! The last, they said, was too Destructive; they would, therefore, secure one that should be, if not wholly Conservative, at least sufficiently dispassionate, to allow them fair play. They have got such a Par liament. They have got the fair play they demanded. Are they satisfied, or will they try their luck by an other dissolution ? They had better beware. Their motives are seen 'Hu °ugh, not by a party, but by a people; and the only safe course left them to adopt, is, to ground their anus and surrender at discretion. _ _ It is ridiculous to suppose that the question of the Speakership is the mere triumph of a faction. It is the triumph of the people—of the enlightened many, against the ignorant few. From the very first broachinc , of the question, down to its glo rious termination, the country made it its own. Else, wherefore the formidable —nay, the unparallelled —array of Liberals of all degrees and classes, against the Tory nominee ? Even during the hottest discus sions on the Reform Bill, there never were such num bers brought together, as met on Thursday night, to decide that a Tory Speaker was unfit to preside over a Liberal House of Commons. We congratulate the country on this its last, and-- all things considered—most decisive victory. It stamps the character of the Session. It is a pledge that Toryism, as defined by the Tamworth Manifesto, shall never again raise its head in England. It may snarl, but it shall never again bite. Its teeth are drawn—its claws are pared. Henceforth, it is "weaker than a woman':i tear." Having learned (though too late) the virtue of dis cretion, the Tories will now, no doubt, so frame the KING'S- Speech a> to: Alit the emergency of thecase.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1€33. they succeeded in thrusting Sir C. M. SUTTON into the Chair, they would of course have adhered closely to the letter of the Tamworth Manifesto. But now they will change their policy, and departing from the letter, stick to, what they call, the spirit, of that facetious production. But the manoeuvre will never answer. It is a rank, unprincipled juggle, and will be laughed to scorn by every man who has two ideas in his head. The next week will, we suspect, decide, and for ever, the destiny of the Tories. They have already proposed their bill of fare to the people, and the people have already replied, " it is not to our taste, we will be supplied by abler caterers." In this instance, John Bull's firmness may he relied on. He has no relish for kickshaws ; but holds with MASSINGER'S Justice, that the " substantials" are best for a hungry stomach. Down then with the Tories, and up with the flag of Reform I Let this be our watch-word—this our war-cry, for never will it be well for the country, until the very phrase " Tory" is expunged from the political calendar. The faction has been our ruin ; let us, then, in justice to ourselves—in justice to our chil dren--in justice to our country—in justice to our claims as men, and privileges as citizens—bear in mind, that the hour of retribution has arrived. One more struggle, and the last link of the Tory chain will have dropped from our limbs for ever. The defence made by Si;CIIA RUES SUTTON before the House of Conr.nons on its first meeting, may 0: may not be deemed exculpatory, according 1 70 the men tal bias of his political friends 07 opponents ; it has 'now become a matter of perfect indifference to the public. Assuming, Iowever, that the accusations turn out to be erroneous, his best friends must in their cooler moments allow, that they were at least justified by circumstances. There is such a thing as construc tive guilt, and every Court of Justice acknowledges the weight of presumptive evidence. Sir CHAIMEs has not denied his closeting with the KING, and with the KING'S preliminary Ministers : his attendance was a fact publicly known, and the public drew from that fact a conclusion which, though by possibility incor rect, was nevertheless in strict accordance with corn mon sense and fair construction. It is not surprizing that the Torics were violently exasperated when they found that no specific charge was intended to be made against Sir CHARLES. Strong in their reliance on the denial by the Right Hon. Gentleman of any political criminality, they ex pected that the support of the moderates and waverers would become, in consequence, thoroughly secured and strengthened in numerical force. But when they found that the main ground of their hopes had slipped from under them, they at once saw the powerlessness of any declaration of innocence which Sir CHARLES or his fiiends could make ; and the value of " public principle" became manifested to their vision in the test of the strength of party about to be made. We confess, we are unable to see the force of Lord STANLEY'S argument, that if it were really the intention to try the strength of parties, that the ques tion " ought manfully to be brought to issue upon an address for the removal of the Ministers ;" because if the Opposition had sufficient grounds of belief (as the event has proved they had,) that they constituted a majority in the House, they were not bound, in justice or in courtesy, to saddle their elves with a Speaker whose sentiments were directly adverse to their own, and who, if rumour was to be creditedwould havc been associated with the preseitt--:--Gov4nment;''as Minister of the Crown, had not his appointment to the Chair been considered more profitable to the interests of his party. The deprecatory observations with which Sir CHARLES thought proper to interlard his speech, were anything but consistent with that dignity of mind for which he has been so much vaunted, and his gratuitous assumption that his rival " would feel great difficulties in filling the Chair of that House," was, if not invidious, at least most unseemly, as proceeding from one candidate in reference to the other. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Thursday. They contain no authentic intelligence of any political importance ; being almost wholly taken up with rumours, and discussions on rumours respect ing new changes in the French Cabinet. The Ga• zette de France, the Courrier Francais, the Temps, the Constitutionnel, the Nationnel, and the Mes sager, all speak of an immediate change IP . the Cabinet, as an event which may 1) " . 'hourly expected. The Nationnel affirtlP that immedi ately after the division in t l '`,! Chamber on Mon day, by which the rr.otion to appoint a Com mittee to inquire int", the Tobacco monopoly was carried, D ucHAT•:ar., insisted upon retiring, but was pre vailed u- eon by his more sa ngu i ne co ll eagues to remain in office a little longer. The same Journal further states that it was resolved at a Cabinet Council, attended only by MM. THIERS, GUIZOT, and the CITIZEN-KING, that after the American question of claims has been disposed of, M. TrriEns shall take upon himself the Foreign Department, in the room of Admiral DE RIGNY; the Duke DE BROGLIE be appointed to the Presidency of the Council, without holding any other office ; General GUILLEMINOT have a seat in the Cabinet provided for him ; and MINI. DE RIGNY, MORTIER, DUPER RE, and PERSIL be succeeded by persons either better disposed or better qualified to fill the offices now entrusted to them. Although the Nationnel does not attach the same con fidence in the truth of this statement, that it does in that which immediately precedes it, our opinion is that both are equally groundless. We come to this opi nion from no private intelligence on the subject, but simply from a review of the conduct of the Ministry itself, on the question of the tobacco monopoly com mittee. Had the division on that question involved the existence of the Cabinet, even in a remote degree, how could it be supposed possible that every Member of the Government would have abstained from voting upon it ? The Ministers were present during the whole of the debate on Monday. Had they taken a part in it, . their influence must have been very considerable ; and, had they voted on one side, many who voted on the other would have abstained from voting, from a wish to free them from embarrassment ; so that triumphant as was the majority in favour of the committee of inquiry, it is questionable whether the Cabinet, by exerting all its secret influence and its open opposition, might not have succeeded in baffling the designs of the Opposition. Neither is it to be sup posed, that the Government of Lours PHILIPPE is composed of men so exceedingly bashful and diffident in their own resources, as to leave a question, vitally affecting their own existence as a Cabinet, to be disposed of according to the mere motion of the Chamber of De puties. M. THEIRS and his colleagues are not the per. sons from:whoneto expect acts of such apparent disinte restedness, nor is the KING, in the sunshine of whose royal favour these statesmen bask, likely to encourage such appeals to the unbiassed opinions of his people. To us, therefore, it appears certain that the rumoured changes in the French cabinet are altogether unfounded, although we can readily believe that the vote of Mon day has given them a very considerable share of uneasiness. Were they prepared to stand or fall by the vote itself, the public may rest assured that they would have taken a very active part in the discussion. Their not having done so is quite sufficient to show that they entertain no idea of a voluntary retirement from office. It cost them too much to obtain their places for us to expect that they will relinquish them of their own accord. That for the attainment of which men abandon their principles, they are not likely to sacrifice to a feeling of disappointment, or the exasperation of unexpected opposition. To become confidential ser vants of Louis PHILIPPE, M. THIERS, and some of the ablest of his colleagues, have ceased to he pa triots ; and, having made this sacrifice of public character and virtue at the shrine of place and power, it is too much to expect that they will cheer fully retire to the shade of private life, for no ()tiler reason than because the reprcscf i l at i ves o f a mighty nation think pror#: r to oppose their mea sures, and condcraP, ineir policy. The adoption of 31101 a str . P.:ightforward manly course, is only compa with the notions of antiquated Statesmen, foolish enough to suppose that no Minister should remain longer in office, than he can render his services avail able to the well-being, and in accordance with the wishes, of his country—a system long exploded in the grave Councils of France. Formerly it was received as an axiom, that the first duty of Ministers was to serve that country faithfully whose servants they were ; but now Cabinets are only troubled about serving themselves, satisfied that if all parties in the State adopt a similar line of conduct, all the ends of Go vernment will be wonderfully well answered. A Bourdeaux Journal states that Lord SomEtts ' has arrived in Madrid, and obtained an audience of the QUEEN-REGENT. The object of the Noble Lord's mission is stated to be the negotiation of a marriage between the eldest son of Don CARLOS and Queen ISABELLA 11., as the only means of putting an end to the civil war. The Madrid correspondent of this Journal (the Election) does not state in what spirit the QUEEN-REGENT received the proposition of the Noble Lord, but this matters little, as the decision does not rest with her MAJESTY. For our own part we think such a proposition highly commendable, and that the most vigorous means should be adopted to compel Don CARLos to agree to it, rather than per mit the dreadful scenes of carnage, famine, and disease, which now depopulate the Basque provinces, to con- tinue longer to disgrace the kingdom of Spain.' Even wcre we to admit—which we neither do nor have done —that Don CARLOS was the rightful heir to the crown of Spain, no abstract right centering in an in dividual can be justly supported at the expense of in nocent blood. This is a proposition which none will question who have studied the science of political go vernment. Halifax papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee House to the 27th January, from which we make the following extract : NEW BRUNSWICK. The Legislature of New Brunswick met on the 20th inst. Charles 51mmonds : Esq., was chosen Speaker, when the Session was opened with a speech. • EXTRACT. Mr. President and Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council,—The Act of the last Session for increasing the representation of three of the counties in the province, one of which was without any distinct representative, having received the Royal assent, I thought it right to put the law into immediate effect. It affords me much satisfaction that I can congratulate you on the pros perous circumstances in which, compared with former years, this province is placed. It has pleased Providence to reward the industry of the agricultural part of the community with an abundant harvest ; our commercial interests and pros pects stand high, notwithstanding all the difficulties with which public credit has been assailed in countries exercising a direct influence on the commercial welfare of our own. From this favourable state of things, useful institutions have been ex tended, which is hoped willl prove highly beneficial to the rising spirit of enterprize. Frankfort Papers of the 15th inst. have been re ceived. Their contents are of some importance, and will be found in another column. Letters from Berne state that the Swiss Government is prepared to resist the despotical and unjust claims of Austria. As we were obliged by a press of matter on Thurs day, to leave out the concluding part of the article which we had prepared on LADY HEWLEY'S Charity, we now resume the subject. We have clearly proved from the words of the VICE-CHANCELLOR himself, that he removed the Trustees, because they did not hold the religious opinions of LADY HEWLEY ; and we contend that were the principle of His Honour's decision admitted and acted upon, it would oust the Protestant Trustees of every Catholic foundation in the King dom. Let us take an instance. Suppose the Trus tees of some of the foundations at Oxford, established before the Reformation, were to be brought into the Court of Chancery, as Lady HEWLEY'S Trustees have been, by Relators who think they ought to be displaced—the process of removal would be much more simple and summary in the one case than in the other. There would be no necessity to move the Court to order the parties to answer on oath as to their belief of this or the other doctrine ; the Christia❑ world would be spared the edifying spectacle exhibited by one dissenting sect letting loose the powers of the law upon another, to compel a declaration of faith. The VICE-CHANCELLO R would say at once, these gentlemen have subscribed the thirty-nin e articles— they are members of the Church of England—they cannot be the trustees of a foundation established by a believer in transubstantiation, purgatory, &c. The same argument will apply to the trustees of parochial charities, who, though Protestants, hold not the opinions of the founders, and who are often appointed in virtue of holding some parochial office. As to the assertion of our correspondent, that the property of the Catholic Church was taken from the Catholics, " because they had misapplied the funds," he surely cannot be serious in making it. The property of the Catholic Church was applied to the purposes intended by those who be queathed it ; but the State disapproved of those pur poses, and asserted its undoubted right to alter the pur poses, and to dispose of the funds in me manner which it deemed most conducive to its own interests. Our correspondent has mentioned the " Improved Version," but he has omitted to mention the use the VDCE-CHANCELLOR made of it. His Honour made it a handle for displaying his knowledge of the Greek language and of Biblical criticism. HOw far he succeeded, we shall not here stop to inquire ; we shall only say that his criticisms have been ably controverted by Mr. YATES, a learned Unitarian Minister. But how did his Ho nour connect the trustees with the "improved ver sion ?" Thus—this book, called the " improved version," is circulated, among other books, by a cer tain association, among the subscribers to which he . finds the names of three of the trustees; therefore Wit only these three, but all the others are Unitarians ! According to which logic, every one who subscribes to a circulating library must be held to believe all the doctrines of all the books in that library I Mr. Baron ALDERSON was so struck with the absurdity of this, that on the hearing of the appeal the other day, he asked Mr. KNIGHT, the Counsel, whether he was serious in stating such an argument ; and when the Learned gentleman replied in the affirmative, he replied " then the Trusto:.,s would be equally responsible for the KORAN, had it been among the books circulated by the Association. As to the charge brought against the Unitarians by our P►esbyterian correspondent, that they deny the authority of the Scriptures, it is too ridiculous to require refutation. He- ought to know that some of the ablest defences of Christianity have proceeded from the pens of Unitarians ; and, as one instance of this, out of many, we may refer him to Lardner's Credibility ?f the New Testament, as a work in high and deserved repute among Christians of all per suasions. When our correspondent, then, asks " what becomes of J. F.'s legal argument?" we reply, it is precisely where it was—he has not touched it, and we doubt whether he comprehends it. THE PARLIAMENT. THIS DAY, SATURDAY. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SrEAKER, dressed in his full-bottomed wig and gown, entered the It)use to-day at twelve o'clock; l and prayers having been rend, the Clerks of the House proceeded to swear in the new Members. At the time of the SPEAKER'S entering the House, upwards of 200 Memhers were present. The swearing in of the Mem bers will be continued to-day up to four o'clock ; and will be proceeded with on Mondtty, should all in town not be sworn in previously, up to the same hour. THE FUNDS,-(THIS DAY.) CIDY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. This week has been productive of important events, in re spect to our local affairs, and the. next will be of still greater importance, bringing his Majesty's speech, *ifit the address to it. All eyes are at present looking to the forthaVittirig re sult of next Tuesday, for which the people of the British em pire are an7;iously waiting ; and we should not be surprised to hear that, previous to the above day, his Majesty's speech will be altered from the original one. The defeat of Ministers on the Speakership of the House of Commons, begins now to be felt with the monied interest in the City, as well as on the speculations in the funds. Con sols, which were, pi evious to the e lection of Mr. Abe r cromby, at 92s for the Account, have receded 1 per cent., and left off yesterday at 91i -A. for the Account, opened this morning at 91i 3, since which they have improved to 91 for .the Account. The Foreign market has followed the same example, and almost every description of Foreign securities have declined. The following are the opening prices of this morning : Spanish opened at 57-a, since done at 58 to k. Scrip opened at 5, and improved t o :s+ . Portuguese, 914 Columbian, 361 Our arrivals this day are few in number—only a French mail with the express from Paris, and one arrival of ship let ters from Demerara. The express from Paris is not of much importance. HALF-PAST ONE. Various arc the opinions on the events which are expected to take place next week in the House of Lords, but we be lieve that, up to the present moment, Ministers are not aware of the results of that day. There is an opinion in the City, no doubt of the monied interest, that they will stick fast to their situations, and not be got rid of so easily. This had the effect of improving the Consol Market, which was very heavy in the morning, and receded to 91+s for the Account, since which• it has reached 91: 8 a, at which price they are at present. Thc Market ha s also improved. Spanish, 541 ; Scrip, 51- i 3-; Portuguese, 91:1-; Colurnban; - 29 ; Dutch, 56 I-. There arc no fresh arrivals since the morning. Consols for the Account, 91.

On leaving Manchester the coach was filled with passengers inside and out. About a mile from Leek the road had been during the day partly new gravelled, and as a preventive to coaches running on the ungravelled part logs of wood were placed across during the day, but had imprudently been left there after dark. When the Telegraph arrived, the coachman, who was unconscious of any such obstruction, drove over one of \ the logs, and the violent jerk which the coach received threw the coachman into the road. The horses, being without controul set off furiously, proceeding about a mile. When they arrived at Leek, the coach was overturned with most tre mendous violence, and the passengers thrown to the ground. In this situation it was some time before assistance could be rendered. Two of the outside passengers were so dreadfully injured, that they were conveyed to Northampton for surgical assistance, where they remain in a precarious situation ; se veral others were also severely injured. The coachman was discovered lying in the road, apparently lifeless, the wheels having passed ouer him. He lies at Leek without the slightest hope of recovery. There is not the least blame to he attributed to him. ACCIDENT TO THE BIRMINGHAM MAIL.—The Birmingham and London mail did not arrive at the Post-office this morning until half past eight o'clock, owing to an ad= dent about two miles below Bicester. It is supposed the coachman had been drinking, and fell asleep. The passengers were suddenly alarmed by a shock and a violent crash, ex pecting every instant the mail to go over. The inside passen gers got out, and found that the horses and coach had partly thrown down a loose wall and bank, the coachman lying on his back on the bank, the pole broken, and the horses, witlione excep tion, disengaged from the coach. Three of the horses were held and prevented from doing further mischief. The whole of the passengers, four inside, and two out, escaped unhurt. The off horses were considerably cut about the legs, as they first came in contact with the wall. As soon as assistance was obtained from Bicester, the mail proceeded to that place with a pair of horses. A new pole was obtained, and as at Bicester the coachiman is changed, the mail came on without farther delay. The coachman who met with the accident did not ap pear to have received any material injury. The two outside passengers had a very narrow escape of being thrown off the mail amongst the horses. NEW MODE OF DUNNING.--The following ad vert isement appears in a Rio Janeiro newspaper :—" Senor C. F. Pereira de Fonseca is requested to send to No. 122, San Jose-street, and pay 4,120 reals, which he has owed for. more than two years." A man living at Treport, near Dieppe, though 71 years of age, retained all the irregulariti es o f hs youth, and consequently was on bad terms with his wife, A few days ago he, in a fit of rage, first killed her with his gun, and then attempted to destroy himself in the same manner; but not suc ceeding, he set fire to his bed, where he was looking for death when his neighbours broke in and took him away I early half burnt. He was conveyed to the hospital at Dieppe, but there are no hopes of saving his life. TILE ELECTRICAL EEL—The electrical eel at tains no a considerable size, and sometimes kills a horse that is wading the streams t when he comes in contact with the chest of a horse, about the region of the heart, the power of his stroke knocks him down and kills him.

A ludicrous and somewhat ominous circumstance occurred on Thursday at St. Phillip's, Regent-street, about the time that the debate on the Speakership was commencing. A long strip of black crape, which had probably detached itself from some linendraper's shop, after floating through the damp and weepint , atmosphere, attached itself to the spire of the church. A large crowd assembled before the portico and ap peared to consider the black flag thus fortuitously attached to church's pinnacle, as ominously indicative of a day of mourn ing for the Church, and of the downfal of ecclesiastical abuses. t per Load of 36 Trusses.)

CHANCERY COURT--(THIS DAY). IN RE CHAMBERS, A BANKRUPT. Mr. TEMPLE applied this moring in this case for the ap pointment of an early day for the hearing of the petition of Mr. Chambers, the late banker, praying the su p erse d eas o f a Commission of Bankruptcy that had been existing against him for the last ten years. The LORD CHANCELLOR enquired whether Mr. Chambers was not in contempt for the non payment of certain costs? Mr. TEMPLE said that such certainly was the case, but he understood that that was not intended to be made a ground of ob by the Counsel opposing th e p e titi on . j Sir WILLIAM ~ .RNE, with whom was M r . J ACOB , sa id t h at `he contempt, yet they would not although they did not wa ve . .n to the hearing o f th e put it forward as a ground o f object . L..: petition, but it could not oome on at present, . as affidavits re specting circumstances extending over a period ot- en years would have to be made. The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired whether it would be con venient for all parties that the petition should be heard ? Sir W. HORNE said, that his client could not be ready in less than a month. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought a month too long a period, considering the length already of Mr. Chamber's imprison ment. If, however, the parties would mention the subject again when they were all prepared, he would appoint an early day for the further bearing of the petition. The LORD CHANCELLOR rose at twelve o'clock. KINGS BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE DUKE DE CADAVAL V. COLLINS. This was an action brought by the Duke de Cadaval, a Portuguese nobleman, to recover a sum of 5001., obtained from him under false pretences by a Mr. Thomas Collins. Sir JOHN CAMPBELL (with whom was Mr. FITZROY KELLY and Mr. ALEXANDER) stated the case. The facts were briefly as follows :—ln the month of July, 1834, the plaintiff, who was at that time labouring under extreme ill health, arrived at Falmouth from Portugal, and shortly afterwards received a letter from the defendant, who resided at Somers-town stating that he had resided in Portugal almost all his life, and that he had saved the lives of his Majesty Don Miguel, Donna Jo sephine, and of all the Ministers of State by the discovery and prevention of a terrible conspiracy and revolution, which was to have taken place in December, 1828 ; that he had also pre vented anothe r revo l ut i on , which was to have taken place on the 16th of February, 1829, by discovering the correspondence that had taken place; and various other services. The de fendant, after representing that himself and his family were in the greatest distress, concluded by claiming a sum of 16,2001., which be alleged the Government of Don Miguel was bound to pay him. The letter was signed by the defendant, and no answer having been returned to it, he proceeded to make an affidavit that the Duke de Cadaval and the Count de San tarem were indebted to him in a sum of 16,2001., and sued out a writ of capias for that sum, with which he proceeded in the month of August following to Falmouth, and placed it in the hands of a sheriff's officer, together with a letter addressed to the plaintiff, stating that he had come down prepared with powers to enforce the payment of the suin due to him—that the bearer was a sheriff's officer, who had full powers to arrest him ; hut if be wished to avoid the vexation and inconvenience of going to the gaol of Bodmin, which was 30 miles distant, he ( Collins)-was willing to enter into a compromise, and give him time to make arrangements for the payment of the sum claimed. This letter was delivered by Collins to the Sheriff's officer with the writ, and instructions to arrest the Duke de Cadaval. Collins said he was certain the matter would be settled—that the Duke had plenty of money, and if he (Col lins) succeeded he would give the Sheriff's officer 501. The I Sheriff's officer immediately proceeded to the Duke's residence and arrested him. The Duke sent for Mr. Lake, the Portu guese Consul, and a banker residing at F a l mou th, an d t h roug h him the Duke communicated to the officer that he did not owe Mr. Collins a shilling, nor did not even know him. Mr. Collin; was at length sent for, and he stated that if the Duke would give mi.. - a .sum of 500/. he wou ld di sc h arge hi m '-e him 12 days time to put in bail to from the arrest, and brought against him relative to any action that might be this claim. A n agreemen t t o t uts effect was drawn i n writ ing, and th e D u k e wi s h e d to h ave i t state,4 in the a g reement en of the that the p a y men t o f th e 5001. was no acknowletil-m t debt, but thi s C o lli ns re f use d t o p erm i t , an d obser b vea i hat the Court of King's Bench would decide whether the signing of the agreement was or was not an admission of the debt. • A sum of 5001. was then paid over to Collins in the presence of Mr. Lake, and the Duke was liberated. It was to recover this sum, which the Learned Counsel stated had been obtained by the grossest fraud, and which was in fact as much a rob bery as if the defendant had met the Duke on the highway, and presented a pistol to his breast, that the present action was brought. Witnesses having been called, who proved the facts detailed in the statement of Counsel; Mr. PLATT (with whom was Mr. Butt) addressed the Jury at some length for the defendant, and contended that the Duke being a member of Don Miguel's government, and that government having been pledged to pay the defendant, he had naturally conceived that the plaintiff was liable, and one of the best proofs that he was so, was the fact that he had, under his own hand, by signing the agreement, admitted his liability. There was no witnesses called for the defendant. Lord DENMAN observed that the defendant had neither proved that he had rendered services to Don Miguel's of that Government had recognised his claim in any mariner. It was for them to say whether they were of opinion that Collins was aware that he had a just claim against the Duke de Cadaval, or that he had merely sued out this process of law, and by the threat of sending him to prison, endeavoured to extort money from the plaintiff. If their opinion was the former, then they should find for the defendant, and if the latter, then they would re turn a verdict for the plaintiff. The Jury immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff-- Damages 500/. Lord DENMAN observed, after the verdict had been re turned, that no person who heard the evidence could doubt that it was one of the most scandalous proceedings that had ever come before a court of justice.
