The Sun. — London, England, 1841-02-22 00:00:00

MORNING EDITION your hands, and though I have not troubled you by laving the whole Report read, yet you must consider it as read. I might have troubled you by causing the offieer of the Court to road from beginning t r eed the whole of these five columns and a half, in one portion of which, the middle of the third column, is found this objectionable passage ; not, as I have already s h own, printed in any particular way, not marked in italics, or in larger characters., or distinguished from the rest in the slightest degree ; and not charge able as a misrepresentation of what had taken place, or as not giving insertion to the answer of Mr. Richards. Notwithst lading these circumstances, Mr. Richards hag thought proper, or his attorney, to commence two actions. Now, gentlemen, I should like to know what possible advantage is to be gained by Mr. Richards by instituting these proceedings against Mr. Young, the proprietor of The Sun newspaper. Mr. Richards was present at that meeting ; he probably knew most of the persons there present ; he bad the means in his power of proving the langu ige used by Mr. Liggins, aad whi-11 language would most ucquestioaably be slanderous, and on which he would be entitled to maintain an action. If his object, therefore, had been the vindication of his character, he would have had no thing to do but to proceed against Mr. Liggins. Mr. Liggins might then have put any justification on the re cord, and the real parties in dispute would have been at issue with each other. Mr. Richards night have justi fied his character by falsifying the declaration, or Mr. Liggins might. have been able to satisfy the Jury that he was correct in the statement he had mad... What. possible object then could there be in commeileing this action against Mr. Young bet to hernias and oppress him, and to put costs into the pocket of Mr. Lowless the attorney ? My Learned Friend says the letter written by Mr. Lowless to Mr. Young was not answered. Why should it ? What was that loiter ? A letter informing Mr. Young that it bad been determined upon to corn nicnce proceedings against Line and re questing to know the name of his attorney, that the writ might be sent to him. Teat is the whole let ter ; a word and a bloc'. It is not, geatlemer, a letter written to invite any compromise or arrang,emena It does net sly, see shall be obliged to inst:tute proceed ings a g ainst you, utile 13 you make a suitable apology, or do certain things satisfactory to Mr. Richards ; but we are instructed to commence an action against you, and vie wish to know the name of your solicitor, in order that we may send the process to him. The ac tion had been resolved unon, and was not to be pre vented by anything Mr. Young might be able to do. Was lie then to call on them, that they might serve him with the writ, or to assist them otherwise in bring icg their action ? He could not. It is difiicult- to know what answer could his given. Well, a writ is issued out, and then Mr. Youuig goer, and what does lie do? G. nile.nen, I ask you, and I am entitled to your fa vourable answer—what more could Mr. Young do than he offered to do for the vindication of Mr. Xcherile's cliara- ter ? Gentlerree, be went for the pur pore of making every reparation in his power, but whet did they ask him to do ? T.) assist them in proving t: eir ease against the Directors, and then the action should be discontieued against hint. Gentlemen, you may take it for grained that the applica•i.7n made to send a reporter was an application made by Mr. Liggins, the Ca airreal of the Compeny. What possible object, thee, can be gained by Mr. Richards, by bringing this action ? He knew that fie Chairman authorised the reporter, and there fore that it was an authorised report. An action hes bi ea already commenced against Mr. Liggins. All in form:it:me fixes Mr. Liggins with ti:e slander. He is not orevente I from cornineecing proceedings arainat Mr. Liggins for wart of proof, with which Mr. Young could furnish bim, because he has the means in his power of proving the slander, and of establishing his case against him. Now, what does Mr. Young offer to do ? Mr. Young does not offer to do that which is impossible or unnecessary. Mr. Young did not say, I will give you the name of Mr. Liggins, which would have been a mockery, because they have his name al ready, but Mr. Young said this, " I will publish any thing you think proper." Mr. Richards might. if he had pleased, have insisted that Mr. Young should hare inserted an apology in his newspaper for the report, and no doubt Mr. Young would have done so. He would have expressed his sorrow, as he does upon this cceaslor, that the report had found its way into the cclumns of his newspaper. It has, I can assure you, gentlemen, lecn a subject of great uneasiness, and anxiety, and expense to him. Mr. Young does not know whether the report is true or not, and lie gave a carte blanche t.) the opposite pat ty to insert anything they thought proper, and they might have had, if they pleased, a complete viadica tion of the character of Mr. Richards as far as toe editor of this newspaper was concerned. Gentlemen, beer this in mind, I Leg of you, that there is a great difference betweea the action between Mr. Liggins and the plaintiff and that between Mr. Young and the plaintiff. Mr. Liggins stands in a very differ ent situation to Mr. Young ; the latter is a stranger to all the parties ; he had no ill-will to gratify ; Le has expressed his sorrow for what has been done, but this don't seem to satisfy the paqies, and they am deter mined to go on against Mr. Young, and then it is male a charge against that gentleman that he has put in a plea justifying the libel in the terms in which it ap peared in his newspaper. Now that plea, but for my Learned Friend the Attorney-General, woul 1 have been utterly unknown to you, Gentlemen, or to any person in Court ; but my Learr.e 1 Friend thinks it proper to drag it before you, in order to show you whet his instructions were. Now, he intended to have met it by proving as true the stigmatising of this Company, a Company which, I firmly believe, has the most beneficial objects in view. Mr. Young, finding tl at he was the party to be assail, d, had no doubt, the assertion having been made at a public meeting, teat it was true, and such being his opinion he thought it right, and those Who advise] Mr Young, that it was proper to pl ice the plea upon the record. I am hero expressing these senti ire As which Mr. Young has invariably felt on this sub jec t. Mr. Young knows nothing of Mr. Richarde, and Le tLe-etore can Lear hirn no ill-will. Mr. Young will have had to bear the whole pecdty of his misfortane in inserting this report, for Le has had to bear all the costs of tlis unnecessary proceeding. Oa the pant of Mr. Young, I have nothing more to do than to explain the circumst trees under which this publication was inserted in order to satisfy sou, Go:Ali - pee, that there was no intentionel malignity on his part, or any desire to injure Me. Richards. The whole was done for the purpose of wising information to the public. Mr. Young, I think, hes a rigl t to coniel sin of bong ill-treated, for even to the last —even a' this the twelfth hour—when your verdict must he pronounce) against him, he is ready to gee every separation to Mr. Ricbards ; he had never any tic sire to injure that gentleman. ; his only desire was to keep up the respectability of his own paper, and le does submi . to you through ire thi.t Mr. Richards has an ample oppottanity of vindicating his character in his action against Mr. Liggins, because in that action - he will be eititicd to show his connection with the Company, and to establish his position, if it be a true ore, that this is a bubble Company, and not as I tra.ntain a fair and honest Company established for a most bet'eticiJ and !egitimate object. It does appear to me that Mr. Richards is acting, to say the least of it, a most vindictive part, when he procee Is against the propr.et sr or a newspaper who could have no wish to upheld a f:aad, when he has the means, through another action. which he has brought, of preserving himself from tile mutations which he says have been cast upon hi m . Ueder these circumstances, Ido trust, when you ree , lle t the consequence, it must entail of heavy costs on Mr. Young, and when they might have stoppe d at an collier period—namely, when the writ issued, I do trust that you w)li not sanction such proceedings, by any thing more tie nominal damages. I m ust aga i n say, - that the s e has been no attempt to i mpeac h the character of Mr. Richards, and as Mr. Richards might have got oli he wished to get, if he is a reasona hi.; man, a 3 I suppose he is, at small expense, it d oes app-ar to me, th,.t you will best discharge your dutie s by doing for Mr. Richards thtst which he ought to have dorm for himself orig;sally—namely, putting a . stop to by givtng Mr. there proceedings sgdost Mr. Young, Richards only a small measure of damages. Lord DENMAN shortly summed up, and The Jury &t Jr a short consultation, ieturned a ver dict for the plaintiff—Damages 50/. FRANCIS V. HUTCHINSON. Mr. PLATT stated the case for the plaintiff. It was one of very considerable importance, becau•e in the present, instance, there being a dispute between ma s t er an d mar i ner , the former had resorted to corporal punishment and imprisonment. Be admitted the importance and necessity of subordination and discipline on board ship, but the utmost caution shou!d be used test the man who acted himself as judge and executioner should abuse the authority vested in him, and permit it to de genertee into tyranny and oppression. The defendant was master of the ship Greyhound, and the plaintiff was articled to him as boatswain for a voyage to the East Indies and back. Nothing occurred on the voyage out, but on their return home they put in at Aleppo, on the coast of Malabar, to take in a quantity of pepper, on the 13th of March last. The Learned Counsel then detailed the circumstances of the assault which was committed on the plaintiff by the defendant, as it afterwards appeared in evidence. It was only the verdict of a Jury that could put down such barbarity and petty tyranny as was sometimes exercised on board merchant ships. The voyage was completed in September, 18-10, a n d ilie plai n tiff was discharged. His wages were withheld unle ss h e wou l d make an apology for what was termed his mutinous conduct, and the unfortunate man was compelled to come into Court to seek re dress for the injury inflicted upon him, and also bring an action to recover the wages which had been withheld from him. The evidence of Nicholas Jibon, a mariner, which had been taken before a Master, was then read. With reference to the assault the witness deposed, that when the last boat load of pepper came alongside, Francis, who was in the hold, sung out, " Keep them on deck till we make room for them.' The Captain, who was on deck, called out, " There is plenty of room for them." Francis said, " If you striek them down, you must send more hands to help to stow them away." The Captain then jumped down the main hatch- , way to the 'tween decks, and collared Francis, and gave him a violent blow. The Captain asked who ordered him to come up there, and Francis said " You did." The Captain said " You lie, you d--d blackguard." They both then came down by the run into the hold, and the Captain sung out for help, and a lot of the black fellows (Lascars) came down and COI- Jared Francis. The Captain said Seize him up, and he was brought on deck. I remained in the hold, and heard lashes. j When Francis came down his eyes were "bunged up"— his back was in a shocking state, and it was a long time before it got well. Francis was a very good man : I never knew him to give insolence to the Captain, or to refuse to do his duty. John Campbell, a sailmaker on board the Greyhound, said I recollect the last boat load of pepper coming on board at Aleppo. Francis was boatswain, and had the management of the men who were stowing the pepper into the hold. The Captain was standingat the starboard side of the main hatchway on the upper deck. Ihe first thing that attracted my attention was the Captain damning some one in the hold. He seemed in a great passion, and jumped down to the 'tween decks. I wa s mend ing a sail on deck, and continued my work. I heard the Cap tain sing out for help, and several of the Lascars bundled down to the hold. There were about a dozen of the Lascars, for one Englishman would not allow two or three of them to handle him.—(A laugh.) They brought Francis on deck, and the Captain sent the boy for his sword. He then ordered them to seize him up to a gun, and while they were doing so, and while holding his arms, the Cap tain gave Francis several punches and severe blows with his fist. He was then seized down (p ied) hands and feet to the gun. Tne Captain told th,m to give him a d--d good flogging. The serang (the boatswain of the Lascars) then flogged him with the end of the maintop-gallant brace. —( Witness here pro duced a portion or the rope, which was a thick heavy rope. ) He gave no insolence whatever while on deck. He com plained of his wrists being seized too tight, but the Captain told them to go on. He said to the Captain that he would be sorry for that when he returned to England. The Cap tain said " If you threaten me, I shall give you four dozen." The serang gave him two dozen. The flogging was a very severe one. His eye and face were marked with the blows, and his back covered with large wheals. After he was flogged the Captain told him to go forward—that he should not do any more duty as boatswain in the vessel, and desired him never to come abaft the windlass while lie remained on board. lie never did except to get his food, and on one occasion to attend the burial service of one of the men. Francis was not drunk at the time. Cross-examined.—l do not know what occurred in the hold. Ido not recollect where the chief officer was at the time. The windlass was about eight or ten feet from the head of the ship. When Francis was brought on decli, he did not break from the Lascars and go towards the Captain. Francis did no duty after the flogging ; he was not allowed to do any. liy the Jury—There was no angry feeling between the Cap tain and the plaintiff prior to this occurrence. Mr. Fish, a law-stationer in Chancery-lane, proved that Francis applied to a Mr. Leary, a ship agent, for his wages, and was refthed them, because he claimed more than Leary was authorised to pay. This was the case for the p7aintiff. Mr. THESIC ER then proceeded to address the Jury on behalf of the defendant. He could well appreciate the difficulties with which he had to struggle in endeavoaring to bring the minds of the Jury to a calm consideration of the case, after they had been influenced by the powerful expressions of his Learned Friend, who had excited the feelings of the Jury against the defendant, by describing him as a tyrant, who had been induced fr,m ill feelings towards the plaintiff to inflict the punishment he had done. One of the witnesses for the plaintiff had stated there was no ill feeling between the plaintiff and defendant up to the period at which the occurrence took place. It was clear, therefore, that there must have been some improper and mutinous con duct on the part of the plaintiff to induce the defendant to in flict the punishment upon him he had done. He (Mr. Thesi ger) felt confident that he should be able to show that the plaintiff had been guilty of so great a dereliction of duty as to deserve the punishment he had received. The principal ques tion for the Jury was, whether the p:aintiff had been guilty of such disobedient conduct as to authorise the punishment that had been inflicted, and that would depend not alone on the evidence for the pla ntiff, but upon that which he should ad duce on behalf of the defendant. William Wheeler—l was chief officer of the Greyhound when the ve4sel was at Aleppo. The plaintiff assisted in stowing away the pepper. I asked him if he could take any more down, as we had a great quantity on deck, and another boat along side. He said he could not. There appeared a great many rohings (bags) in the squw e of the hold as I looked down from the main hatchway. 'The Captain had just come on board, and I told him what plaintiff said. The Captain said what use was he (plaintiff) if he could riot take any more dowo ? Ile then directed them to lower down more bags. Two were struck dow ti into the hold, and Francis came out of the hold. The Captain asked what he was coming up for, and Francis said You ordered me up. The Captain said he did not. I did not hear the Captain order him up. lie said If I ordered you up, I now order you down. Francis said You ordered me up, and I shall come up. The Captain jumped down 'tween decks and collared Francis. He did not strike Francis. There was a slight struggle and they both rolled down into the hold. I saw the Captain's arm in the evening, it was bruised and disco loured. I jumped down with eight or ten Lascars to rescue the Captain. The Lascars seized Francis and took him up be tween decks. He was then brought on deck, and got away from them more than once. I did not see him put himself in any attitude. His jacket was off, but his clothes were not taken off when he was flogged. I thought the punishment was ne cessary for the preservation of the discipline of the ship. The plaintiff was then disrated, and did no more duty. He was or dered not to come abaft the windlass or the mainmast. I don't recollect which. Cross-examined—l don't think the punishment was a severe one. I should say the rope now produced would hurt one se verely, if struck with the force of a man's arm. The depositions of Ameer Nathan, a Lascar, who was exa mined through an interpreter, were then read. His evi dence was that the Captain, when 'tween decks, ordered the plaintiff to go into the hold, and that he refused, saying, "If he was obliged to go, he would drag the Captain with him," and then laid hold of the Captain and pulled him into the hold—that Francis was a little drunk at the time. He added that the Captain had given him (the witness) money to buy the clothes he then wore, and had promised him some money. He did not understand English. Mr. Platt replied, and Lord Denman having summed up, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 100/. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. THE INDEPENDENT AND WEST MIDDLESEX LIFE AND FIRE ASSURANCE COMPANY.—Sit P. LAURIE sat on Saturday in the Justice-room, and stated that the cases of distress, arising from the fraud of the " West Middlesex Company," crowded in upon him daily. He bad not, he said, heard of the report given from a country paper, stating that the Marquis of Wellesley bad purchased an annuity of the Company for 30,0001., voted to him by the East India Company. Ile was happy to state, from what Mr. Farquhar had mentioned to him about the principal annuitants, that the Mar quis of Wellesley had not placed a farthing in the hands of the schemers. Indeed, he did not know how any one who thought for a moment of the nature of the terms on which the Association professed to grant an nuifes could be prevailed upon to give credit to its solvency. Sir Peter Laurie then !mentioned that the Lord Mayor had rceieved the following melancholy epistle from a poor invalid in Ireland : " 32, Lower Ormond-quay, Dublin, Feb. 12, 1841. " My Lord,—Events occasionally occur in society which compel the most timid persons to appear before the public ; if not to defend themselves against unjust imputa'ions, at least to claim their sympathy for un foreseen misfortune-. This latter is unfortunately my prese it fate. An all-wise Providence has been pleased, now upwards of five years, to visit me with a disease called chronic g,:stritis, or chronic inflammation of the stomach, which is one of the most distressing to which humanity is heir. This unhappy malady is supposed to be occasioned in part by the translation of rheumatic inflammation to that vital organ. This rheumatic affec tion, in an aggravated form, I had previously la'mured under for a bngthened period. About four years back I was compelled to decline busicess from these complicated evils, not however witbott having submitt , :d to the most harassing trials of such remedial tnelsures as are at present known t-) the beding art for relief, but in vain. My savings, amaunting to the sum of 6001., I, at an unlucky hour, deposited with the ‘Vest Middlesex Asso ciation, who held an office here, for the purchase of an al nuity during my wife's lite and my own, first making known to them the state of my present health. This annually being our principal support, and unable, from the continuance of disease, to take any further exer. tions for our maintenance, I leave you, my Lord Mayor, to judge what our present feelings arc. Pre• viously to handing over this, my all, and fur whi c h I received the Company's bond on a 61. stamp, registered in the Court of Chancery, I consulted some friends conversant in commercial affdrs, whose sanction I then obtained for so doing. I further took advice as to the future solvency of the Company. My friends observed that their prospectus and advcrtiserrents gave reference to several Acts of Parliament extend ing over a period of upwar,ls of forty years, which should be looke I upon as a sufficient guarantee. It is here needless to observe that these references to the said several Acts were all fraudulent fabrications, in tended the more fully to deceive, as appe kred by the recent exposures ; their continuance in business not having exceeded a period of four years. From these fear ful and notorious facts, it is not, on my part going too far to expre: s s ! alguine hope that Government wi 1 irnmedi atelypassan Act to protect the avd, helpless, and infirrr, who are confessedly that Becton of the public mest en t Wed, under such trying circumstances as the pre ent, to sym pathy and cornmisr•ratien—against the plundering de signs of such merras composed the" West Middlesex" Company, and that Government will further, by the agency of an envoy throughout Europe and America, make every exertion to have tease men detected and hell amenable to justice. Up to this your Lordship's exertions, Sir Peter Laurie's, and the other benevolent gentlemen who have felt so lively an interest in the cause of suffering innocence, is above all praise. We fondly hope these exertions will ult mat ly bring to light any concealed property of the Company's, and in devising such ether means as will rescue the helpless annuitants from ultimate ruin. I remain, my Lord, your Lordship's very obedient servant, " “ M. L. LARKIN, Apothecary, &c." Sir P. LAURIE observed that he had, whit I in the Chair, received the following communication : " Brentford, Feb. 19. 1841. "Sir,—ln the capacity of age3t is the town to an ohl established fire-office, I rcce:v(:ti with a prospceus the enclosed tempting cffer from the worthy Secretary of the Independent and %Vest Middlesex Insurance Com pany.

A s q M u a r 2 LL, Secretary. Just as Sir P. LAuat E had concluded the reading GUILDHALL. William Hawley (the elder), John Hawley 1 ,1114 son), George IVooldridge, William Landrig and William Hackling, appea , el on summons before Sir J. Cowan, under the Act 6th George IV., cap. 129, sec. 3, for un lawfully, and by force and menace causing dyers per sons in the said summons named to depart from their hiring as workmer. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Philips for the defence. John Buchan, of Marshsm•street, Westminster, stated that on the 16th of January, he went to Mr. Barney Barrett, with three other men, named Baxter, Dawson, and Thomson. for the purpose of getting work at the Temple Church. Mr. Barrett hired them all, and a person of the name of Kay, who was not present ; and they were ordered to ho to work ❑t the churc►• nn the following Monday, and they went accordingly. Mr. Barrett is the clerk to Mr. Burnell, and had their imnes put down, and they were caned over in the church by Mr. Sergeant, the foreman, on the Monday morning. We went to work at six in the morning ; and after the names had been called o‘er, all the men at the.b.ar, ex cept the elder Hawley, consuted Ogether ; after which Landriff told the foreman (Sergeant) that if witness and his friends were employed, t'aey (the defendants) would all leave. Woolridge said to them, " You must have h y good cheek. to come hare to look for work." The men good about the door as if :bout to quit the church, when young Hawley said, " Why the do you linger ? why don't you come along ?" When they went to the church candles were lighted, but they were put out when the names had been called over. Sergeant said that he could not employ witness and his companions, but at their request they were allowed to wait the al rival of Mr. Barrett, whom they finally saw ; and he expressed his regret that lie could not suffer them to work it the old men were unwilling to work with them. The defendants demanded that they should pay W.F. and become members of their club ; but as they belonged to one alrend), they refused. Witness belongs to a club, but they allow non-mem bers to work with them. The, e would be no objection against the defendants working with their socict ) . Mr. Philips—How many members does your society consist of ? Witness—Betwecn 300 and 400. The witners proceeded to state that he engaged with Mr. Barrett at a public-house in Chancery-lane. Had not seen Mr. Barrett here to day. The entrance money to witness's union is 3s. It is called " The Operative Masons' Trade of London." One object they had in view was to protect themselves from coer cion, exercised by the society to which the defendants belong. Mr. Phillips said he should rest his defence on the fact that there had been no hiring ; and if that was proved, there would be an end to the charge. Or if there had been an engagement all, it was only a condi tional one, which hinged upon the approval or other wise of the old workmen, of whom his clients formed a part. When the application was made, Mr. Bar raq (he believed he should prove it from his own lips) told the prosecutors, " If the men object to you, I cannot employ you, as they would all leave." And he (Mr. Pin Lips) b(lieved one of the party said, " Don't be uneasy about that, for if they lease you we can End you 100 or 150 more." BAori; Mr. Phillips proceeded to call evidence, Mr. Clarkson said that if the defendants would allow the prosecutors to go to work unmolested, he would abandon the summons ; those societies were tl.e' bane and destruction, instead of the protection of the work ing classes, when they were used as an engine of op pression. Mr. Phillips coneurrel in that remark, DA then called M-. Barney Barratt. Mr. Barrait sworn and examined by Mr. Phillips— I am foreman to Mr. Burnell, the clerk of the works at the Temple Church. Mr. Phillips—l believe, Sir, your name is Barney Barratt—it's rather a queer name? Witness—No, my name is Barnabas. Mr. Phillips—Stop —stop ; then your name is n BArney ? Witness—No. Mr. Clarkson—He is known and called by that narre—how can it matter ? Mr. Phillips—Then, Mr. Barratt, Barney is a nick name. NV it ness—Yes.—( Laughter.) Mr. Phillips—Then, there's en ens( of the case : the witness says you have nicknamed him iu the summons. Tr.e summons states that my clients are to appear to answer the complaint of one " Barney Barratt and others," and he says his name is not Barney at all. A long desultory discussion ensued, which resulted in the Magistrates dismissing the summons, on the ground of informality, without prejudicing the merits of the case, which stood over for further discussion. Mr. Clarkson said he should now apply for sun-- menses upon two distinct charges under the sane clauses; first, for preve: - .ting the hiring ; and, secondly, for unlawfully demanding mosey, in order to be enrellA into a combined society.

(Faux OUIL OWN COIMPSPONI)ENT-) FEB. 19.—The Windsor Castle steamer was launched from Ratsey's slip last evening, after having undergone very exten sive repairs : she will proceed on her voyage to Australia as soon as she has reshipped her cargo. The Russian ship Castor has become a total wreck, and must be broken up. '1 he cress were sent over to Athertield on Nion day to assist in dismantling her ; they sent down her yards a ud topmasts on Tuesday (bar. 28.65), and got them and part of her rigging and sails on shore : on Wednesday (bar. t:8.86)” though there was but little wind, the waves rolled in so tremen dously they could not get on board, and her situation was much altered for the worse, she settled down on her starboard side, the sea running over her deck : on Thursday (bar. 29.25) her main and mizen masts were cut away, and with the lower rig ging secured, and the crew returned to Cowes to be forwarded. to London, thence to Russia. This is the second ship lust by the same owners this winter—neither ship, cargo, or freight insured. Feb. 19.

David Hewitt, who had bean for some time cont.ected with the police force, and was aboart to be appointed to a situation of trust in that establishment, was marked by the Superintendent as a man of ability and shrewdness, and was accordingly employed by him t o make an investigivio n into the state of wynds and closes of the city, in order that due tiscrimination might be ob served in the distribution of the relief that was to be gkert.

THE SIIN, LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1841. of the last letter, he received another from a poor fel low at Edinburgh, which stated as follows : " Our case is probably one of the worst amongst the many sufferers. I g,tye up business in the druggist lire on account of increase of years and infirmities, pur chased an annuity of 301. during my wife's and my own lifetime, from the Company, two years ago, and, by frugality, we made a scanty livelihood of it with 201. more that we drew of rent from a house in Coldstream. Since losing the above 301., all we have to look to is the 20/., so that you may form some opinion of our de plorable condition from this simple statement of facts." Sir P. LAURIE added, that he should have further disclosures to make in the course of the week. LORD CARDIGAN'S TRIAL. It is bard to decide whether the conduct of the pro secution in this case, of the del.:nce, or of the Guth - , has been most equivocal. The Attorney-General began by protesting that " he was rejoiced to think that the charge against the noble prisoner at the bar did not imply any degree of moral turpitude ; and that if he should be found guilty, the conviction would reflect no discredit on the illustrious order to which he belonged." After stating the law of ' the case, and laying before the Court an outline of the facts he intended to prove, Sir Jahn declared, " he should offer no evidence—indeel he could offer no evidence—as to the quarrel out of which this duel had sprung ;" taking care to add, that " be ac quitted the Noble Lord of any thing unfair in the cour:e of the duel ;" that "he did not suppose there was any grudge, personal animosity, rancour, or n- alignity against Captain 'Puckett, in the hie ast of tie Noble Earl ;" and that 4 ‘ i e had no doubt tio,,t upon this oc casion the Noble Eirl only complied with what he thought necessary to the u-ages of society." In short, the manager of the prosecution took care a' tio. very outset to convince the Judges, that the Earl of Cat ei• gan was put upon his trial for a mere, technical viola tion of the law, more out of respect to farms than for c i a n r q e u t ir o y p ‘ r v e it v i t i . i n n t a t r l i i y e a ti g a; r r a n y w a t t i i s n t g p circum stancesossi any serious offence. He at th e same time restricted ble i .; it limits t r s a ; though, the crime charg e d b e i ng o f that class in which ' 7tnaekiotg the conduit of th e accuse d to appear—al t the Judge possesses the over of increasing or diminish- I ing the punishment within a limited range, such c renno stinces were essentials of the case ; and thus laid him self more open to be d e f eate d upon seine narrow techni cal ols;ection. The suspic:ons of collusion on t' r• part of the Prosecution, arising out of this preattil le, are rather strengthened than diminished by the subsequent proceedings. Sir John Campbell has the reputation of of being not only a sound, but what the Scotch call a loopy lawyer; and Mr. Vizard, who had the getting up of the case, is a sagacious and experienced mar of busi ness. If any knowledge confined to the practitioners in the Criminal Courts were necessary, the Crown Law yers could have commanded any assistance they pleased. Yet, when the counsel for the defence urged (Nee tions to evidence which must Lee been foreseen, the Prose cution was, or pretended to be, unable to supply the deficiency. And lastly, when Sir William Foil, tt ob jected to the salidity of Captain Tuckett's card as evidence, and a , gued upon decisions, Sir John Camp bell, an experienced lawyer, knowing that the opinion of Lord Denman would guide the Lords, instead of meeting Sir William's argument, talked about " in ' fteenees that would be drawn by reasonable beings out of Court." From beginning to end,' the conduct of Ole Prosecution shows a predetermination to allow the a ecused t) escape ; and the sham fight was not even kept up with sufficient appearance of earnestness to de ceive the bystanders. The conduct of the Defence was, under such cir cumstances, no very difficult task. But the counsel for the defendant went beyond their brief, and indulged in certain Old Bailey practice?, which, as quite unne cessary, were in bad taste, to say nothing of their me rarity. For example, Sir William F( heir, finding in a tneinorandum of Dann the miller, a note of the num ber of miles he had travelled ova the business, remarked, " You seem to have gone about a great deal after this affair ;" and folewed up the inuendo subsequently by very pressing inquiries as to whether he had been paid his charges. Sergeant Wrangham's cross-examination of the miller's son—a- boy of fourteen—closely resem bles the account of a parallel process ia the " Pielcwick Papers." For examile : "Da you then mean to say, you could at the instant distinj,uish who the pa , ties were kneeling?"--" I could see who they were." " That is distinguishinir, is it not ?"—" Yes. (A laugh.)" And when the boy attempted to show the Learne I S2ree int that he had misapprehended one of his a: savers—" Oh, explain your answers in any way you like, Sir." The same system was pursued with Mrs. Dann ; who was pestered with such questions as—" All the ge tlemen, then, had red faces, had they ?"—" Who has been telling this story ? who has'bcea examining you ?" and with a silly laugh raised against her when she sad, " I can see better on the Common—where I am more practised,"—the fact that she could see better on the open Common than in the dim Painted Chamber being apparent, whatever might be her expertness or awk wardness in explaining the circumstance. This attempt to shield the accused by browbeating honest witnesses, and insinuating charges against the'r veracity, is com mon enough at the Old Bailey, but we should have ex pected more regard for right feeling among the aristo cracy of England, than to permit such vulgar licence to counsel at the bar of the High Court of Parliamest. And now as to the Court itself. Notts ithstandiag, the care of the Prosecution to withhold the evidence, and of the Defense to clivert at'ention from what could not be withheld, the following facts were established. Mrs. Dann saw two gentlemen kneel and load pistols, then rite, stand back to back, walk asunder sonic paces each, place other two at the points thus fixed, put pis tols in their hands, stand aside till they fired at each other, give them fresh pistols, and stand aside till they fired again. Mr. Dann saw the combatants stationed ; saw them fire both times ; never lost sight of them till be reached the ground ; when he saw one gentleman wounded, and took the pistol from the hand of another, that other being one of those who fired, and also Lord Cardigan, the prisoner at the bar. Sebastian Dann saw the kneeling of the seconds, the firing of the princi pals, and the wounded gentleman with a gnat deal of blood on the ground. There cannot exist a doubt that Lord Cardigan discharged two pistols at some indivi dual, and wounded him the second time ; it having been also proved that he said to the inspector of police—" I have been fighting a duel, and have hit my man." Then as to the identity of the wounded antagonist of Lord Cardigan. Dann allowed him to go home with his sur- geon, upon giving his addresr ; that address was " Cap " lain Harvey Tuckett, 13, IJuni:ton-place, New-road." Dann called three times ; and each time, on asking for Cap'. Tuckett, was ushered in to the wounded gentle ' man who gave him the address ; and on one occasion tha: gentleman sent a note by Dann to the Magistrates, which be signed with tl.e name " Tuckctt." Mr. • %Val then gale evidence to the effect that a gentleman of the name of Harvey Tuckett had rented business cham bers from him for upwards of a year, who gave hit card of reference tt Captain Harvey Tuckett, 13, Hamilton place ;" and that he had sent a hamper to the aeatlc man by that address. It was proved that the Earl of Cardigan deliberately discharged two pistols at a person of the name of Cpptain Harvey Tuckett, and wounded has. This was the charge against the Noble Earl,—a charge which, as stated by the prosecution, admitted by the Court, and not questioned by the defence, if proved rendered him liable to punishment. The counsel for lie ;accused objected to the production of the card : it was proved without the card that the wounded man gave the name and place of residence above mentioned, that he was repeated y seen C'ere during his convales cence, and thet a person of that name and title resided there. If there were anything extenuating in the cir cumstance 3 out of which the duel arose, that was a por tion of the defence. The criminal act was proved, and brought home to the Earl of Cardigan. And yet the Members of the House of Peers, the conservators of the piety, morality, and law of the empire, alter commenc ing their proceeding with a solemn appeal to the Deity, rose up one by one when called upon, and e lch in suc cession, placing his right hand upon his breast, said, " Not guilty, upon my honour." Alai for the honour of the British nobility! it is much upon a par with tl.e veracity of the fiery knights,- who, in the first part of Shakspere's Richard the Second, thrust the lie down each other's throats.* 11 The conduct of the prosecution, defence, and Judger, has all the appearance of being each a part in a common ,conspiracy to defect the ends of justice. The whole peoceedings of the House of Lords suggest a predeter mination to allow the accused to escape by some subter fuge or other. Viewed in this liglA, the Earl's appeal from the Judges of the land and a Jury to his Peers, was an appeal from a tribunal in which an attempt would be made to discover the truth and punish the guilty, to a tribunal where, guilty or innocent, he thought he was .8 ife.f The privilege of the Poles to be tried by and to try each other, wears the aspect of an exemption from time penal law of the land : it seems to proclaim one law fomr the nobility and another for commoners. If the mischief eeded with now and then allowing a guilty Peer to escape the punishment incurred by Ws crime?, it would be comparatively venial ; but the tri fling and equivocating with solemn duties, in the law trial, is worse than that ; for the House of Lords is a Court into which any civil question may be carried by appeal. There is not a case, where there is a sufficient interest at stake to admit of the expense being incurred, but may come to be tried in last resort by the same Judges who, after bearing the evidence recapitulated above, declared " upon their honour" that Lord C mil. gan was not guilty. Nay, this same corporate body has the power, in its legislative capacity, to prevent the pass ing of any legislative Act that would alleviate or amend the evi'. As Judges, they have it in their power to twist the law as they please ; as a legislative body, they have a veto upon all reforms ; as the habitual associates o! the Sovereign, they influence the Crown ; as large landed re opriL tors, they decide the e!ections to the Com mon:. In ttem resides the real sovereignty of Great Britain. And their conduct at the trial of Lord Cardi gan shows bow loosely they wear the restraints of moral precepts, and how little care they think it worth while to tike to conceal their levity from the public gaze. " Wasps break through the cobwebs in which flies are caught," and make a triumphant buzzing to call atten- tionto the fact. The question is between the Peers and the People Lord Cardigan's share in it is scarcely worth notice. To be sure, the Attorney-General was allowed to de- • From this censure the Duke of Cleveland, of all the Peers present, is alone excepted. In exquisite irony he declared, " Not guilty, legally, upon my honour." t The prisoner arraigned before our Common Law Courts claims to be tried "by anti and his country ;" Lord Cardigan claimed to be tried "by b. 35 Peert." It sounds like a disclaimer alike of Divine and klurna.) f d ct en. clare without contradiction, that the duel in which Lord Cardigan had been engaged—taking it, of course, with nil ;ti attendant circumstances—" did not imply tnii-n1 turpitude." This was a volunteer state-, ment on the part of Sir John Campbell ; there was no call upon him to make it ; and he made it well know ing the notorious facts of the case, although he did not choose to lead evidence regarding. them. The fleet! ' ration of the Law Officer of the Crown, listened to in apparently approving silence by the Lorth-,1: amounts to this—A Peer may taunt and tyrannize owr the officers of his regimect until one by one he disgusts the whcle of them with their profession, and when one of them complains he may silence by shooting him ; while a weaver, half-mad ‘tith suffering, must be se verely punished, if, in imitation of the Noble Lord, he threatens to betake himself to " physical force." A Per may shoot a man under the circumstances alludcd to, white commoners (see the case of the duel between Edict and MitfH) are punished even for acting as se conds. Tie cases of the two Wimbledon duels are not so very different as might at first appear. In Eliot's case there is more rude blackguardism ; in that of Lord Cardigan there is more cold envenomed despotism ; but both are examples of an individual, confitient in his own superior skill and courage, venturing to insult and out rage others. The Peers claim immunity for such of their number as thus abuse their power, and have thereby done more than enemies could do to weaken their it:flue:ice. No man or class of men can with im punity outrage the moral sense of a nation. " Aristo cracy," says the Globe, "is the element in wlich we live and breathe :" if so, it is high time o e were seek irg to recruit our health by trying, a purer atmosphere. —Spectator. oome of their Ltrdships hive protested agaio,t the doctrine since the above was in tvpr. THE STAKE AT ISSUE. The division on Lord Morpeth's Irish Registration Bill must have important resu:te, the great question involved being whether a third part of the kingdom is to be governed upon the principle of the protection of popular rights, or on that of their contraction or sup• pression. Thu choice of Lord Morpeth's or Lord Stanley's Registration Bill is in effect the choice of the system of Government which is to exist in Ireland. It is the choice whether the system of Government is to be continued which has produced a greater share of tranquillity than has ever before been known in that country, and which has allowed of reducing her garri sons, and spacing her troops for English exigencies ; or whether a return is to be made to the old system of governing in distrust of the people, in dread of the people, and in despite of the people, by the help of mi litary force and the Orange faction. Under the administrations of Lord Normanhy and Lord Ebringtor, we have witnessed the surest pledge of the improved peace of Ireland in the diminished number of troops necessary in that part of the king dom ; Lord Stanley's system, too, would have its re duction, and he would see the test of its success in the diminished number of electors. More soldiers, less voters, would be ac upshot of his scheme. The te gistration would then be small by degrees and beauti fully less ; but, to make up for that, the recruiting would be on an enlarged :cola, and Irishmen, to con sole them and compensate for exclusion from the (Ice taral pale, would have the ranks thrown open to them, with handsome bounties fur serving to keep down their countrymen. What,ver is taken from the content of a people in die condition of the Irish, must be attended with a tenlel 1 augmentation of coercive powers, and you must make up in muskets for what you retrench from the confidence of the people in their representative strength. In the state of Ireland there are but two principles for her Government —contentment or coercion ; make your option of the ether, and look to your means of carrying them into effect. If Lord Stanley's project and coercion be the choice, let it be borne in mind that the old system will net suf . flee ; Ireland has out grow n it ; s h e ioust h e measured anew 1 for her fetters, and much increaied in magnitude must be the res!raining powers suited to her present strength and state of organization. In sobriety alone the people of Ireland hate acquired an element of discipline of in calcelilile value, and under the leadership of Mr. O'Connell, have learnt the method of combining for their object, and of acting in vast bodies with the unity of purpose of one man. But in considering the feasibility of governing Ire land, not as she used to be, but as she is, in despite of the discontent of the great majority of the people, it is necessary to advert not only to the present state of • the country on which so daring an experiment is to be made, but al,o to the aspect of affairs in Europe, Asia, and America. With five hundred thousaed men under arms in France, is it prudent to make five millions of malcontents in Irelaud ? For Lord Stauley's miserable object of cutting down the electoral body in Ire'and, is it wise tq raisa the hopes and encourage the ho:tile at tempts of the enemies of England .in every part of the 1 world ? The foreign foes of this country have always reckoned extravagantly on the disaffection of Ireland, I and is this a juecture for giving them to hope for an • ally against us in intestine troubles ? The commanding position of England in the eyes of the world is I,wered the moment she has to keep down Ireland. It is not that the people of Ireland would co-operate with fo reign enemies, but that the diversion of so much of the strength of England to the coercion of Ireland is more than the most powerful empire can afford. And for what are the hearts of the enemies of Eng land, in every part of the world, to be made to bound with joy ? That Lord Stanley may decimate the scanty electors of Ireland, and again place the Govern ment of Ireland on the apex instead of the foot of the cone, curing the false balance by the prop of bayonets. That the Tories can defeat Lord Morpeth's excel lent project is certain, for in the House of Lords it must be doomed to destruction ; but in disappointing the just hopes of the people of Ireland, and raising a nation against them, they raise a difficulty for their Govern ment, whenever it comes, and however it comes, which it must sink under. They cannot wrong Ireland as they would wrong Ireland, and hold it as it can oily be held under such treatment. Ministers have done their duty, and whatever may be the issue of the contest for the second reading of Lord Morpeth's Bill, they will have made good their ground for a stand or fall with honour. Their majority is, we believe, secure, but even if they could be defeated, the triumph of their opponents would be short, and the lost advantage would be recovered with interest. This the more sagacious members of the Tory party are well aware of, and hence their dejection on the eve of the victory on which they profess to reckon. In the course of the week, indee I, their organs in the press have begun to inveigh against the dissolution which they apprehend will be resorted to in the event of the deft at of Lord Morpcth's 1311. Why, these authorities have been assuring us for the last four years that the counts). was against the Government, and that en an appeal to it the Liberal party would be scattered like chafF before the wind ; wiry is it then, that they so angrily hold forth against a dissolution which would so serve them ? They are here strangely distracted by their hopes and fears ; they hope for the victory which would compel a dissolution, and they fear the appeal to the country which, instead of scattering the Liberal party, would terminate in the rwurn of a popular force, against which a Tory Government could not long stand. It we had to contemelate the possibility of the break inr up of the present Ministry through disunion, we should calculate on the evil of a Tory Government of some pernsasence ; but ths is not the turn of thiegs on which, in the worst event, we have now to spent: ate, the Ministers, ta their honour, having chosen a ground for their pitched beta! which has re united and re-ani mated the whole Liberal party in the hearty suppo t of them, and this union is a mighty reserve of strength for any event that may happen. As to the division on the approaching trial of strength with parties so newly ba'anced, we know that the ma jority roust be small ; but, small as it may be, it will keep the wolf from the doer. In the rem irks tint we have made, however, it has been our object to consider what the position and prop is of the 'Furies would he if they could carry the ;malt of throwing out Lord Morpcth's measure, without stopping to moot the feasi bility of the exphit. G.ve them their best present hopes, and what is the prospect before them ? Sup pose they could pass into power through the stet) to Ireland, what will they do with Ireland ; how du they propose to got ern it ? How do they expect to obtain the con-eat of England rind Scotland to the costly coercive system that wontf become the evil nece;sity of their administration. But there is another more imtnedi,te difficulty. Never were the Toby party more disjointed than at this moment. The state of the Duke of Well ngton's health incapacitates hint for office, and the state of Sir Robert Peel's rela tions with his }tarry almost does the same. The dislike of Sir Robert is no 'ongcr suppressed, it has broken out in open quarrel in the very organ which is the main support of the party in th e p ress ; b ut Lard Staid- y's I demeanour, for V.e few day s t h at h e perform( d the pert of dsptey leader, during the cars nee of Sir Robert Peel, has not esekted the notice of shrewd observers.— Ba c:miner.
