There is to be a great meeting of the people this week at Leeds. For what purpose ? ask the vast multitude of the nation. And who dare answer the question honestly ? Not the Tories ; for they are, and always have been, afraid of meetings of the people. And what answer do the Whigs give ? —passive resistance merely ; for if they had lent a willing hand to work out the good fruits of the Reform Bill, there would not NOW be any necessity for a meeting of the people in the chief town of the greatest county of this king dom. But so it is. The Reform Bill was said to be meant for the benefit of the many ; it has turned to the advantage of the few, as the long list of GREYLINGS can well testify ; and now the people begin, too late, to find out ►hat they were mistaken. This feeling has been bandied about, and re-echoed from town to city, from county to shire, until at last the stream of public indignation has burst the bounds of Whig and Tory decorum, and now fairly challenges the mock lawgivers to meet the repre sentatives of the people at Leeds. We say the representatives of the people emphatically, for they cannot be called such who succumb to Whig or Tory domination, as the weathercock may shift or turn. And what will be the topics mooted at this meeting of Indescriptibles P . —for such will be the term applied ' oit by both Tory and Whig. The answer is-- the general good of the people at large, and not the especial gain of the few in particular." If the pressure of the taxes—that is the laws—fell on all alike, there would be no just occasion for grumbling ; but when people who can see and feel like their better neighbours, look on and observe the vast disproportion of good and evil meted out to them—that is, taxation without voice or volition in its enforcement—is it. not natural that the spirit which GOD has implanted in their hearts— " Do unto man as man would do unto you should rebel at the monstrous misapylication of the common dictates of humanity ? if men in high places do wrong, is not that a temptation to those who look up to them for advice and example to do likewise ? What right has one man over his fellow men to do that which he would not suffer in his own person ? Would he rob his neighbour of half his loaf, and say that the circumstances of his posi tion justified such robbery ? And yet so it is. The Corn-law is a greater curse than the plagues of Egypt—for there the oppressor scourged all alike ; but our modern calamity is a left-handed plague, which falls only on those who have the misfor tune to be poor, thereby fully illustrating the truth of the Gospel--" From him who is poor, take away that which he has got." And to complain against such iniquity were rain unless it be done with the voice of thunder. By thunder we do not mean such thunder as brought rebellion to common sense at Acre ; but the mysterious apprehension that wakens the sleeping conscience of the landowner and the aristocrat from the dreamy deltision in which they fancied them selves secure. Endurance has no limit in the catalogue of the Corn-law monopolist. But can such things last ? Has iniquity ever prospered in tilt!, long run ? If it did, there would soon be an end of the world. Men mieht as well or better die of starvation in company with their oppressors, than work out their lives for the benefit of those who ask all and give nothing. And such, if we mistake not, is the feeling of those who are to assemble at Leeds—be they Whigs, Tories, or Chartists. Being men, they all deserve our sympathies, for true philanthropy does not condescend to deal in creeds of politics or religion ; the sunshine and the rain of heaven visit all alike, and why should not the presentiment of man take a higher and a wider scope in the administration of his humble sphere ? One thing is quite clear, if there were not deep rooted grievances festering in the minds of the people, such a meeting as that expected at Leeds would not and could not take place. Hitherto the aristocracy have had all their own way, and things went on apparently smoothly until one portio❑ began (that is of the aristocracy) .to think that the other had too much of the good things— the people in the mean time, as in all times past, were never thought of; but when rebellion mani fested itself among the law-makers, it was high time for the people to think. Now, thinking for those who were not intended to think, is a trouble some dilemma ; and so it was thought safer, by those of the refractory aristocracy, who wanted to turn the masses to account, to take the thinking part of the question into their own hands, and, by professedly stemming the tide of corruption, to turn all things to their own . account. And so it has been with the Reform Bill. Lord GREY and all his followers, with few exceptions, turned its stream of popular benefit to their own selfish account, and, behold, the result ! The people, who achieved everything for the professed good of all, obtained nothing but the satisfaction that their leaders were provided for, and that the multitude would be happy in good time. Now this mockery has at last fairly worked itself out, and people have been asking, and are now asking, what is meant by Reform, for they cannot understand what HAS been meant by the Bill— "the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill." If they go to the Whigs, the answer is, —" We are in place !" If they turn to the Tories the answer is, perhaps, not so satisfactory to both parties—" We are turned out of place I" And if they go a step beyond, and enter the mysterious regions of conscience, they will be told to believe and pay—for that is the doctrine of those whose pleasure it is to will it so for the support of their vessel of State, which has hitherto sailed along with " Church at the prior, and Corn-laws at the helm." Aye ! these Corn-laws cut with as double-edged a sword as the abhorrent exactions of the Church ; and, both evils compounded for, they go hand in hand in the work of iniquity. How ca❑ the propa gators of such damnable doctrines reconcile it to their own conscience, that one man should labour and starve, while the other should laugh and eat ? Such doctrines may answer very well in fancy, but they never will act. And how could they he supposed to act, while men ftlt as men ? You must not hold the langnage of slaves t) freemen, any more than you would change the present Siberian winter to the sultry climes of Africa. Some thirty years ago a violent and just outcry was raised against the Commander-in-Chief of the day—the Duke of YORK, for certain malversations in his department, which are still fresh in the re ' collection of men of mature years. These malver sations were mixed up with the intrigues of a worthless but clever woman, and as they were considered of a dangerous tendency, a Parlia mentary inquiry was instituted, which led to the • retirement of the illustrious Duke. His conduct, no doubt, was bad, ard deserved such a ri tr;bution, but was it half so injurious to the public service, or so dangerous to the security of the army, as the sys tem which now prevails at the Horse Guards, un der a Reformed and Liberal Government ? It was a simplo and amusing episode compared with the disclosures which have been produced by the con duct of the Earl of CARDIGAN, the partiality of Lord HILL, and the complaints which have I poured into the Horse Guard.; from almost every Officer ,of the 11th Hussars. At first no redress was to be obtained. The commanding officer was justified i n every one of his acts , however tyrannical ; the inferior officers were reprimanded and humbled ; acts of insult were repeated without redress ; and though thy general voice of the coun try was loud in denouncing a system of tyranny un heard of in these times, .Lord HILL and Lord FITZROY SOMERSET still persevered in proteetine. the Noble Lord who had caased all the disturb ance. As the Session of Pa:liament approaches, however, a change appears to have: taken place. The orders of Lott! CA It DIGA N havebeen countermanded, reproofs have been addressed to him. and a num ber of the individuals on whom he had trampled have obtained leave of absence, some for six months, some for two years, and others have received pro mises (if we are to credit a new Journal, apparently well informed on these subjects) that they shall never be required again to serve under the same commanding officer. Can anything be more subver sive of military discipline than the whole system which has been pursued for the last twelve months ? While al most every officer in the 11th: Hussars was insulted in a manner that no private gentleman would submit to, and remained submissive solely from military instinct, the Horse Guards did not afford him the slightest protection, but on the con [rary, favoured the very individual whom every man n the United Kingdom believed to be the cause of all the mischief. The delinquency 1 , of the Duke of YORK was a trifle compared with this, and if the House of Commons do not take up the question in a way that shah put an end to this aristocratical anti tyrannical system, the people, and also the army, will look for new representatives. It is said Lord HILL is to retire, and possibly also Lord FITZROY SOMERSET may find it expedient for the time to adopt the same course, but will the country be satisfied with these temporary expedients ? The system at the Horse Guards is subversive of disci pline and justice, and if the House of Commons do not take take steps to produce a Radical Reform, it may spring up from parties who will not carry it through with so much security to the throne or the peacs of society. In another part of the paper will be found some extracts from a Journal (the Alli gator) which throws some new light on the history of Capt. J. REYNOLDS, time Eatl of CARDIGAN, and the Horse Guards. The Irish Reformers are opposing a bold front to the STANLEY attack upon their liberties. lii our columns of this day will be found an abridged report of the proceedings at a public meeting of the Irish Reformers held in Dublin on Friday last, at which the Earl of CHARLEMONT presided, and which well represented the Liberal aristocracy, clergy, landowners, merchants, the learned professions, and tradesmen of the sister kingdom. The requisition calling the meeting was only eleven days before the public, and in that brief period was signed by forty four peers, nineteen baronets, sixty deputy-lieute nants, three hundred landed proprietors, an equal number of magistrates, three hundred Protestant and Catholic clergymen, and four hundred mer chants and members of the legal profession—an irre fragable proof of the detestation with which STAN LEY'S Bill is regarded by all classes in Ireland. At this great meeting the utmost unahimity prevailed. Minor differences of opinion were forgotten in the general determination to peril life itself sooner than submit to any abridgement of the electoral franchise. One speaker only, Mr. LETHBRIDGE, mooted the ques tion of the Repeal of the Union, of which he ap proved, and the announcement was received with thunders of applause. What stronger proof is ne cessary to show that Mr. O'CONNELL has not a more powerful supporter in his repeal agitation than Lord STANLEY? But for STANLEY'S Bill it would have been as difficult now to gather a Repeal meeting in Ireland as in England. The Repeal fever had passed away ; Ireland, annually increasing in wealth, in intelligence, and in the comforts of ci vilized life, had begun to enjoy some repose after her powerful and successful struggles to obtain an Emancipation and a Reform Bill, when Lord STANLEY'S genius for mischief contrived to set the country once mote in a blaze. He blew the embers of discontent into a flame, and now capers with fiendish delight round the dangerous conflagration he has raised. If, however, the Irish Reformers, following the excellent example of the Meeting in Dublin on Friday last, will confine themselves to opposing STANLEY'S Bill, and to the obtaining of equal rights with their English fellow-subjects, they may rely upon the most complete success. So long as they limit their demands to equal rights and privi leges with their British fellow-subjects, they will find numerous and powerful supporters in the Re formers of England and Scotland. With less than equal rights it would be a disgrace to Irishmen to be content; but more than justice is sought—the dissolution of the Monarchy is aimed at by the Repeal of the Union. Madrid Journals of the Bth inst. have reached us. The Regency was doing all in its power to suppress the . fiteros of the Basque Provinces. War preparations were going on at a rapid rate in the Portuguese Provinces adjoining Spain. The Fives rose on the Bth to 29 for cash. The French Journals of Friday have been re ceived, but those of Saturday are in arrear, owing to the boisterous state of the weather on Saturday night. They bring no political news of the slightest importance except the following confirma tion of the intelligence which we published on Saturday from Buenos Ayres : " Lieutenant-de-vaisseau Page arrived this afternoon at Paris, with the convention signed on October 31, on board the French brig La Boulonnaise, between Rear- Admiral de Makau and M. Philip Arena, Minister of Foreign Affairs to Governor Rosas. This convention stipulates, Ist, An acknowledgment of the indemnities due to the French. 2d, The raising of the blockade, and the evacuation of the island of Martin Garcia. 3;1, An amnesty for the Argentine proscripts. 4th, A confirmation of the absolute independence of the Ori ental Republic of Uruguay. sth, That the French shall be treated at Buenos Ayres the same as the most favoured nation." The National has a severe attack upon the pro motion of the Duke of NEMOURS to his present high rank in the army. The Delats ably criticizes the PRESIDENT'S Message, which appears in the Friday's impression of that journal. The followirw, extract from a letter dated Cologne the 2d inst., is from the Univers of Friday : " The President of the province of Westphalia, Baron de Vinke, having demanded of the Archbishop of Cologne, in the name of the King of Prussia, if he would be disposed to resign his see and retire to Rome, should the Government obtain for him a Cardinal's hat, and pay him during life a pension of 20,000 dialers per annum, the Prelate replied, that he was ready to obey the orders of the Holy Father, and would from that mo ment implicitly abide by his decision. It was after re ceiving this answer that the King of Prussia sent off M. de Bruhl to Rome." What no Royal menaces could effect is likely to be done readily enough by a Cardinal's hat and a pension. Had this means of silencing this trouble some Prelate been-first adopted, there would have been no necessity for any squabbling between Prussia and the Holy Sei• The baptism of the Count of PARIS is fixed for the Ist of May. The Seine was rising rapidly on Friday, and fears were entertained that Paris would be inun. dated. Such a calamity would be productive of frightful suffering among the poor.

THE EARL OF DEVON. JIMGNIENI'. • LOUD r .MANCELI.OI., • ..oe, ist,ich come Moro the Coist ~ von appeal from tLie eision of his Honour the Vice Chancellor, dismissing two petitions with costs. The petitions were presented by the froffees of the Free Grammar School of Liverpool, for the purpose of having the declaration of the Court as to the principle upon which the school should be carried on in future (there having been objections made with re fzrence to the masters having. boarders, and the admission of scholars, &c.), and also for a reference to the .Master to approve of a scheme for 1112 future ma meg-ernent of the charity. Upon the case coming on be ore the Vice Chancellor it was urged that the Court had no authority to give the relief prayed upon petition under the Act of the 13th of George 111., but that an in formation ought to 'nave been filed and the Attorney Gene ral made a party. The Vice Chancellor agreeing with the proposition, in February last made an order dismissing both petitions, and ordering the petitioners to pay the costs, ar.d from that older the present appeal was brought. His Lordship, after going at some length into the facts of the case, stated his cleat- opinion to be that the Court could not grant the relief asked upon petition, and so far he agreed with the opinion of the Vice Chancellor; but be thought under the circumstances the costs ought to have been reserved. An information had now been filed, and such being the case, the opinion of his Lordship was, that all proceedings before the Master should be stayed; that the order of the 14th February, pronounced by the Vice Chancellor, so fee as it directed the petitioners to pay the cost., should b: discharged; and that the question ofcosts should be resorted until the fate of the information should be known. His Lordship, however, wished the parties, before they proceeded further, to consider whether the o: - ject both had in urew—the due administration of the .:;rarity— might not be effected without further litigation. GWYNN V. PHILPOTT.-JUDGMENT. The LORD CHAN CELLOR also gave judgment in this case, which e3me before the Court upon motion for a new trial, upon the ground that an interested witness had been exa mined. His Lordship, after looking carefully into the case, was ele,Ay of opinion that the party applying had shown no merits, far the evidence of the other witnesses so foll in with the statements given by the witness objected to, as to render that testimony unnecessary. His Lordship did not feel himself justified in disturbing the verdict, and the motion therefore for the new trial must be refused with costs. WILLIAMS V. THE EARL OF JERSEY.—JUDGMENT. His LORDSHIP also gave judgment in this case, which was argued before the Court upon appeal from the decisicn of the Vice Chancellor, overruling a demurrer. The noble defendant brought an action against the plaintiff, who carries on copper works in Wales, for a nuisance, upon which he filed his hill, and obtained an injunction re straining proceedings in that action. To that bill the de fendant demurred, on the ground of want of equity, and upon that demurrer coming on for argument, the Vice- Chancellor ordered it to be overruled, and from that de cision the partie , !. appealed. His Lordship was clearly of opinion the judgment of the Court below was correct, and ordered it to be affirmed, with costs. ROWLEY V. ADAMS. The further arguments in this part-heard appeal occu pied the Court the remainder of the morning. ROLLS' COURT . --(THIS DAY.) WHITTAKER V. HOWE. This case was argued last Wednesday, but we then stated that we should abstain front publishing the circumstances of the case until after his Lordship should have given his opinion. The case was mentioned this morning with re gard to certain papers which the plaintiff contended the defencetrit had no right to the possession of, and the Mas. ter of the Rolls, after stating that to make an order appli cable to that part of the case it would be necessary for aim to examine minutely the affidavit which had been filed, proceeded to state his opinion upon the main question be. tween the parties. The motion, his Lordship observed, was for an injunction to restrain the defendant, Mr. Howe, from retaining and keeping possession of, or destroying, certain documents, and also to restrain him from practising or carrying on business as an attorney or solicitor. lei the year 1831 the plaintiff, Mr. Whitaker, intending to procure ad mission as en attorney and solicitor, and to form a partner ship with the other plaintiff, Mr. Tatham, desired to pur chase the business which was then carried on by the de fendent, Mr. Howe, who was then in partnership with Mr. Heptenstall ; and for this purpose an agreement, dated the 4th August, 1831, was made between the parties, by which it was agreed that Whitaker should become a part ner with Howe and Hoptcnstall for the term of two years, and should pay five thousand pounds for the partnership, as a consideration for the absolute pur chase of all the interest of Howe and Heptenstall in the business, during and after the expiration of the term of two years. Howe and Heptenstall agreed to put Whita ker into possession of all the profits of the business from the time that the 5,0001, should be secured, but they were, nevertheless, to continue in the business as coparteers of Whitaker for two years, during which period they were to attend at the chambers where the business was carried on, and were in all things to aid and assist in carrying on the business as they had been accustomed to do, Whitaker, or Whitaker Sr Tatham, finding the capi tal. Howe and Heptenstall further agreed to use respec tively their utmost endeavours to retain the clients, and secure the possession of the business to Whitaker during the term of two years, and after the expiration thereof, and that neither Howe nor Heptenstall should afterwards prac tice as solicitors or attorneys in any part of Great Britain for twenty years without the consent of Whitaker. Mr. Whitaker secured the payment of the 5,000/, as required, on the 7th November 1831, became admitted as an actor. 'ley and solicitor; the agreement was acted upon, and the business carried on under the firm of " Howe, Heptenstall, and Whitaker."- In June 1832 the money was actually paid, and Mr. Howe received 3,0001. as his share of it. During the progress of the two years, at the end of which Howe and Heptenstall were to retire, Mr. Whitaker began to apprehend that even after the expiration of the two years it would be important to him to secure the assistance and established character of Mr. Howe, arid in May, 1833, he wrote a letter to Mr. Howe, earnestly requesting him to continue his assistance in the business at the end of the two years. After some treaty, Mt. Howe agreed to do so, in consideration of his receiving 5001. a-year as a remuneration, which was after wards increased to 7001. a-year. Mr. Heptenstall retired iron. the business altogether at the end of the two years, or soon afterwards, but Mr. Howe continued under the new arrangement ; and a question arose, whether, under that arrangement, he was a partner with Whitaker and Tatham or not. In August, 1840, Mr. Howe insisted upon its being dissolved, Mr. Whitaker thought there was no part nership to dissolve, but at length they agreed to sign, elid did sign, a notice of dissolution of the partnership, Mr. Howe signing an acknowledgment that Mr. Whitaker's signature to the notice of dissolution should not prejudice any question teetweeu them as to a partnership having previously existed. About the same- time, the name of the firm, painted on the door, was altered, and the name of " Mr. Howe" painted separately from that of " Whitaker and Tatham." In the conduct of Mr. Howe in all the Foccedirq.•,s up to that time his Lordship saw nothing of whici: the plaintiff had a right to complain. He might pot an end to the pgreement when he pleased, for it was with him whether he would permit his name to continuo in the firm, or afford his personal assistance in earl ying on the business. On a careful perusal of the ailidavits. his Lordship saw nothing from which he could saf e ly conclude that Mr. Whittaker bad in any way re. t e ased Mr. Howe from the obligation into which he entered on the 4th August, 1831. For 'additional consideration Mr. Howe was to render additional aid iu carrying on the business, but the duty for which the former consideration was actually paid did not appear to have been altered. Even it Mr. Howe thought be was at liberty to practice for himself he had not given sufficient grounds for hi, opinion, and whatever his own view might have been it was not warranted by the facts stated. Neither did it appear by the evidence that after the month of August. 1840, be had acted for himself as a solicitor to, or acquired a right to do so by the acquiescence or consent of, Whit aker. Nevertheless, on Christmas day, in the absence and without the knowledge of Whitaker and Tatham, ha removed a great many documents from the chambers where the partnership business was carried on, to chambers where he now insisted he had a right to carry on business as a solicitor and attorney for himself. The defence set up was that the agreement entered into was void, or, it not void, that it was such an agreement as the Court could not order the specific performance of', and therefore it had been alleged, on behalf of the defendant, that he, with the consideration money which he had received for the agreement in his pocket, had a right to act in direct violation of the contract for which that consideration had been given. With respect to the validity of the agree. merit, it had not been made a question, on the present oc casion, whether attorneys or solicitors could lawfully agree to secure their clients to the attorneys and solicitors who succeed thcin in business. In Candler v. Candler, Lord Eldon, e,bserving on the case of v. Guy, said__ I had doubted whether professional men could be recommended, not for skill and knowledge in the profeesion, but for a sum of money paid and advanced. I know that this would rip up many transactions, and I wee happy that the Court of Queen's Bench was of a dif. fercnt opinion, though I never could entirely reconcile myself to their doctrine." Li this case it had been alleged on behalf of the defendant that the agreement was void, as seine a restraint on the exercise of a trade or profession. La the cases which had occurred on this subject no dis tinction that his Lordship could observe had been taken betwesn trades and professions, but the distinction between d,fferent sorts of trades and professions had been taken, and appeared to be material. In the present case, a valu able consideration having been given, the real question whether the restraint intended to be imposed on Mr. II awe was reasonable ? The words of Chief Justice Tindal in Harmer v Gray might be safely adopted; they were these : " We do not see how a better test can be applied to the question whether an agreement of this sort can stand, tnan by considering whether the restraint is Terely - sutlieient to affird a fair protection to tile party in whose favour it is given, and not so large as to interfere with the convenience of the public. Whatever restraint is larger than the pro tectum of the party requires can be no benefit to either—. hatever is injurious to the public is void on grounds ofpublic Poiicy." lie (the Master of the Rolls) could not say that in his opinion the public interest would be in any way interfered with or aff.eted by Mr. Howe slot being allowed to prac tise as an attorney or solicitor in Great Britain for 20 years without the consent of Mr. Whitaker. The ques tion was, wnethzr ;.hp rev.raint ought to he considered as reasonable? The business of an attorney and solicitor might be, and was, to a large extent, carried on by means of correspondents and agents, and, as to which, it had al ready been decided that a restraint of practice, within a distance of 150 miles, was not an unreasonable restraint. Ict the ease Af a sprgeon,dentist, the operation of drawing teeth, requiring the Persenal attendance of the praetitiOnef, and the patient at the same place r the restraint to practise within 100 miles of York was held to _be an unreriaonable ""iat , agreeing with the Cowl of 09111a190 Neu, in the ease of Horner v. Way, that no proOW `noundary conld be laid down within which the restraint woChl be reasonable, and beyond which it would be excessive. having rerzttrtl to the nature of the prof scion, to the limitation of tinlo., and to their , jcei,i l:l , 151 •,;), Alen ~ t Tti Li..v v Mi,on, that no did not see how the limits in this c4se could be considered necessarily unreasonable, nor did he know how to draw the line. At present therefore, he could not come to the conclusion that the agreement was void, and he was not of opinion that the Court could not grant an injunction to restrain the violation of a contract or covenant because there might be some part of the agreement a Lich the. Court could not compel the defendant specifically to perf.irm. No doubt every body recollected the case of a (7rarnat:c writer who thought fit to contract that lie would write for one theatre, sad would not write for another. Lord Eldon could not carry into effect that part of the agreement by which the party contracted to write for one theatre, but to accomplish the same end, he did grant an injunction to restrain him from writing for any other. In the progress of this cause, it might become necessary to consider further the points that had been raised, but at present his Lord ship was of opinion that the • right claimed by Mr. Howe to act in direct violation of the contract for which he had received the consideration, was, to say the least, so far doubtful, that he ought not to be permitted to take the law into his own hands, and carry on busiuess at his own pleasure, without regard to the severe injury he might do the plaintiffs. Au injunction must therefore be granted to restrain hint front practising as an attorney or soli c itor in any part of Great Britain for twenty years, without the consent of Whitaker, either in his own name, or the name of any other person, and to prevent him inducing any per teat who was the client of Howe and Heppenstall, and of Howe, Whitaker, and Tatham, to cease to employ the plaintiffs. With regard to the papers, his Lordship would look at the affidavits. COURT CIRCULAR.

POLLOCK said he would conviot Mr. Hart o. falsehood befo:e he had done. The articles of war ex• pressly laid down that any officer convicted of behaving in a sc, ndalous and infamous manner, should be cashiered, and Mr. Hart came to purge himself of these charges, having the fear of a court-martial before his eyes, but he feared he would take little by his motion. From that day forth, Mr. Hart's name must go before the world coapled with that species of infamy which be longed to swearing an affidavit which, if it had been sworn by any attorney of that Court, would cause him to he struck from the rolls. He (Sir F. Pollock) would undertake to say that no person connected with the ad- ministration ofjuatiee would so far disgrace himself as to ' put his name to such an affidavit. He would now read a few p issages fr re the affidavits, the first of which was f. oin Ed.

(Sitting:4 in Banco.) LYNCH V. NURDEN. Lord DENMAN gave judgment in this case, which bad been tried before Mr. Justice Williams, and in which a verdict was had for the plaintiff. It was an action of tort for negligence committed by the defendant's servant in leaving his cart and horse in the street for half an hour, while he remained in the house. It appeared that while the servant was absent, the plaintiff; a child of six or seven years old, was playing with several others by climbing in and out of the cart. One of the children struck the horse which moved on, and the plaintiff fell under the wheel, and his thigh was fractured. For the defendant, it was con tended that the plaintiff must be nonsuited, inasmuch as the injury was not occasioned solely by the defen dant's negligence, but that another party was the moving cause, and that the plaintiffhimself was at the time committing a trespass which disentilled him to recover. The Learned Judge, however, thought the case:ought to go to:the Jury, who found for the plaintiff,and a rule was then moved for a new trial. The Court, however, was of .pinion that the case had been properly left to the Jury. If a man was guilty of negligence in leaving anything dangerous in a place where he knew that some other per son might unjustifiably set it in motion to the injury of an other, that party would have a right of redress against bath or either, but at all events against the first person. If a gam..keeper left a loaded gun in a play ground where boys were amusing themselves, and that one of them taking it up maimed another by the discharge, damages could be recovered against the gamekeeper. It had certainly been held that a trespasser in a wood, where it was well-known thst spring.guns were placed, could not sue for injury occasioned by their explosion, but that was founded on the plaintiff's previous knowledge of the dan ger. On these grounds it appeared to the Court that the plaintiff was entitled to recover, and that the rule for a new trial must be discharged. WATERS V. THE EARL OF THANET. In :,his case, which had been argued a few days since, the Court granted a rule for a new trial. THE QUEEN V. THE PROPRIETOR OF THE " UNITED SERVICE GAZETTE." In this case a rule to show cause why a criminal infor mation should not be filed against the defendant, Marie A. Watts had been obtained in the course of last term for a libel on Lieutenant Hart, of the 49th Foot. Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK (with whom was Mr. Imes) now appeared to show cause against the rule, and he trusted that when the Court learned upon what grounds the rule had been obtained, and the answer he was about to put in on behalf of the defendant, they would discharge the rule and with costs. If the whole of the facts had been disclosed to the Court he was satisfied they never would have granted the application. There were in the affi davit of Mr. Hart certain denials which were essential to the obtaining of the rale, but which denials, it would appear, were entirely untrue. It appeared that on the 6th Junc there was a meeting of persons interested in the formation of a United Service Benevolent Institution. The meet ing was adjourned till the 22d, and the publication com plained of appeared in the United Service Gazette of the 27th June. The libel referred to what had occurred "at a late meeting" of that body, and the natural inference their Lordships and every other person would draw was, that it referred to the meeting of the 221, which was the latest in point of date. Now Mr. Hart had chosen to point his affidavit to what had taken place at the meeting of the 6th, and entirely suppresaed all that occurred on the 22d. The affidavit of Mr: Hart set out that he had been an officer of the British army since the Ist April, 1829, when he joined the 49th Foot in India; that he was the editor and proprietor of a new Army List, which bad very considerable circulation in military circles ; that he bad at. tended the meetings of the United Service Benevolent Insti tution, which he was a strenuous supporter of, and attended that of the 6th of June. That, on the 27th of June, the de fendant had published certain libellous statements of his conduct at said meeting, which statements were not true. New, Mr. Hart had suppi eased from the knowledge of the Court that the meeting was adjourned to the 22d June, and he must have been aware that the defendant's remarks applied to the latter meeting. The alleged libel charged Mr. Hart with, " at a late meeting," renewing his at tempts to disturb the harmony of the meetings, and in dulging in low abuse „of the supporters of the institution, more especially defendant's paper, but that be was obliged to repress his venom. That at a former meeting he bad acted in a cowardly and despicable manner in referring to an absent individual (the defendant), without having given hint ntitice of his intention to do so. The article then charged him with falsehood, and with cowardly and ran. corous malignity towards defendant. That he had ob tained an exteindon of his leave of absence on frivolous pretexts, and in utter defiance of the rules of the service, and had been placed upon the recruiting staff, leaving his hard-working and more honour ably disposed hrother officers to do his duty under the burning sun of a tropical climate. Now, Mr. Hart, in taking the usual course of exculpating himself, denied the truth of the allegations, omitted all mention of what had occurred at the meeting of the 22d, but he had the:effi te ens of several persons who were present, who would prove hat on that occasion the offensive language which formed the ground of Mr. Watt's otsservations, had been used. Lord DENMAN said that looked as if the affidavits had taken a false point for the purpose of misleading the Court.
