In every consideration on this subject I hive . been studiously careful that my individual wishes should not appear to take. 'precedence of arrangements which might be esteemed more conducive ,to the general interests of the Company. It is dile - to : My friends, however, that they be not left unin formed of the period when I may find , it necessary to solicit their personal suffrages, anti although now declining to pledge myself to come to the ballot on the next opportunity, 'I beg to assure them that I am alone inflonued to this reser vation by the motive already intimated, and that I shall wait for period, certainly not more distant than the occa sion that may occur after the next vacancy in the Direc tion, to submit-my pretensions to their judgment and support.

Mr. Sergeant Wilma, for the defendant; said that his . Learned Friend had admitted the respectability of the defendant, and that he appeared by some ac cident to have committed an unfortunate error : for that error be must be undoubtedly responsible, when ever the character of any other, person sustained injury by his agency, however innocent. It would be admitted that there was no part of the duty of 'a public journalist, in which the public interest was more concerned than in the diffusion of the reports of proceedings in the courts of justice. Thesewere sometimes given at length, and sometimes very briefly; they were obliged to be given quickly, for the gratification of general curiosity and information, and, particularly during the Assizes, the' publica tion followed so rapidly that mistakes were often unavoidably, though unintentionally, committed. — Such was the fact in the present instance—a mere• general summary was given of the Taunton Assizes; in so many paragraphs were classed the sentences of the offenders, and the plaintiff, instead of bei7ipaat down among the acquittals, Was . by_sorrip precha nical accident put among the convicts under sentence Of seven years' transportation. The Learned Ser geant then described the evidence which he had to offer : first, that the mistake had been copied from another Journal ; and, secondly, that the plaintiff had first offered a fair proposition to the defendant —namely, to correct the error, and then gone on, ivhen . every request had been conceded, to make new claims, the motive of which could not I , e mis understood.

It has a southern exposure, and consists of rich Arable Land, pro ducing early, and abundant returns of Wheat, Barley, and othEr crops; and the Salmon Fishings as productiVe. About four miles north of the Low. Country Estate, is situated Hill _Grazing Kenlochanastrone, which to both the Agriculturist and the Sportsman, forms a very desirable appendage. Tile Lakes and Rivers on it abound with Char, and Trout, and the hills with Grouse. The greatest part of the property is in the natural pos session of the Proprietor, in the highest state of cultiva tion, and enclosed with substantial stone dykes and hedges, interspersed with clumps and belting! of plantations. The Mansion House is spacious, recently built, comprising &lir public rooms, 28 feet by 18, and 20 feat by 18 ;. twelve Bed-rooms, some having dressing-closets attached ; Shower, Hot, and Steam Baths, with abundant supply of water and other conveniences, with servants' accommodation and cellar age, and contiguous are Wash, Laundry, Dairy, and Brew houses, supplied with water; also an Ice-house. A delightful Shrubbery connects with the Garden and Hothouse, which are surrounded by a high wall, and for an abundant supply of choice and early fruits afe not surpassed by any in the county. The Farm-offices consist of Coach-house, Sta bling, Thrashing, and Meal-milns by water, and every ne cessary convenience, besides a large Store-house at the sea shore. There is also connected with the Mains Farm a Distillery on an extensive scale, with Malting-barns and Kilns, capable of malting 1,500 bushels a-week, and could be extended at a small expence ; the water is ahlindanilr supplied, and rises to the height of the coolers ; an excel lent Malt-mile, with machinery for pumping, and an ex-, tensive Peat-mOss belonging to the property. The Dis tillery being detached, could be separately let. The thriv ing and rapidly extending village of Bridge-end is partly built on the Estate, and having an inexhaustible Quarry of excellent Freestone adjoining, cannot fail of adding pro gressively to the value of the property. The Estate is now under survey, and is supposed to con tain about 3,000 imperial Acres, of which 567 are Arable, and 177 Planted Wood, 130 of the Plannitions are up. wards of 25 years old, and all very thriving. The present gross rental of the whole is estimated above 1,091/. ster ling, besides what will continue to he obtained from 'the thinning of the woods, and without any rent put down for the Mansion-house and Distillery, for both of which, with the garden, lawn, and suitable offices, there is no doubt that 359/. can be got.

The chief article in the present Number, and the one which will of course be looked to with the deepest and most general interest, is entitled " The present AdminiStration.". It is rapid and sketchy in its character, careless,: though at times energetic, in it's style, and tells some home truths with an air of the greatest simplicity. We know not who is its author, but there is an ap pearance of freshneSs about his turn of thought, that would lead us to suppose that he is any` thing but hackneyed with his pen. If so, we congratulate Mr. Jeffrey on the acces sion of so much talent. The article resembles in character that peculiar species of men whom Doctor Johnson condescended to praise, namely, " good haters." It sets out and concludes with the acknowledgment of a most candid and un qualified detesiation of a Tory Government, and does not hesitate to assert, that in the event of such an Administration resuming the reins of :office, the country would be revolutionised.— Though our alarm does not carry us to so great a length as this, yet there can be no doubt that the public mind, which is now basking in the genial sunshine of a liberal policy would, if the clouds of bigotry and despotism were permitted again to deform the day, become indignant, and per haps even rebellious by the change. From the present ministry we have every thing to hope ; from the Tories nothing. One are the friends of the people ; the other the friends only of them selves, so -says the Edinburgh Review, nor lives there a man who can conscientiously,and with an unprejudiced' mind, deny the fact. The " Me moir of the Emperor' Baber" is an amusing and instructive paper, but the subject has been fa miliarised to the public through the medium of the Literary Gazette. It is, however, worth reading. The " Constitution of Venice" is spi rited and elaborate ; and the " Essay on English Law," penned by one who well understands his subject, but never permits • the quirks of the lawyet to narrow the more • enlarged views of the philosopher. Our limits confine us within a short' space at present; we cannot, however, close the present cursory notice; without an extract, in which the author alludes to the Tory Administration. There is much truth and energy about it. A Government like that with which England would be cursed, if the present Ministry should fall before the pre sent Opposition, would render such an alliance not only inevitable, but permanent: ln less than ten years it would goad every Reformer in the country into a Revolutionist. It would place at the head of the multitude persons pos sessing all the education, all the -judgment, and all the habits of co-operation, in which the multitude itself is de ficient. That great body is physically the most powerful in the State. Like the Hebrew champion, it is yet held in captivity by its blindness. But if once the eyeless giant shall find a guide to put his hand on the props, of the State—if once he shall how himself upon the pillars, woe to all those who have made him their laughing-stock, or ehained'him.to grind at their mill ! We do, therefore,. firmly believe that, even if no external cause were to precipitate a fatal crisis, this country could not be governed for a single generation by such men as Lord Westmoreland and Lord Eldon, without extreme risk 'or revolution. But there are other. symptoms in the body politic not less 'alarming than those which we have de scribed- In Ireland there are several millions of Catholics who do not love our Government, and who detest, with all their heart, with all their son], with all their amind, and With ali their strength, the party now in Opposition. The secession of that party. to power would be a death-blow to their hopes of obtaining their demands by constitutional means ; cod we may fairly expect that all the events which followed the recall of Lord Titzwilliam will take place again on a greater or more formidable scale. One thing, indeed, we have no right to expeCt, that a second Hoche will be as unfortunate as the former. A civil war in Ireland will ' lead almost necessarily to 'a war with France. Maritime hostilities with France, and the clash of neutral and belligerent pretensions, will then produce war with Amemica. Then come expeditions to Canada and expeditions to Java. The Cape of Good Hope must be garrisoned. Lisbon must be defended. Let us suppose the best. That best must be a long conflict, a dear-bought victory, a great addition to a debt already roost burdensome, fresh taxes, and fresh discontents. All these are events which may not improbably happen under any Government—events which the next month may bring forth—events'against which no Minister, however able and honest, can with perfect safety provider—but which Minis ters, whose policy should exasperate the people of Ireland, would almost unavoidably bring upon us. A Cabinet formed by the ex-Ministers could scarcely exist for a year without incensing the lower classes of the English to frenzy, by giving thein,up to the selfish tyranny of its aris tocratical supporters, without driving Ireland into rebel lion, and without tempting France to . war. • There is one hope, and one hope only, for our country ; that hope is in a liberal Administration—in an Adminis tration which will follow with cautious, hut with con stantly advancing steps, the progress of • the public mind; which, by promptitude to redress practical grievances, will enable itself`to oppose with authority and effect the proposi tions of turbulent theorists; which by kindness and fair- Ress'in all its dealings with the people, will entitle itself to their confidence and esteem, The prosecutor, Mr. Stock, kept the . Gri:een Man public-houSe, at Stebbing, in this county, and also a licensed brewer, authorised by the 'statute of GO. IV. to sell beer by retail. Bx that statute, brewers are required to sign a declaration iiiwritrog, containing a description:of the quantity and quality, of the beer they . brew, 'before it is put into barrels from the brewing vats. On the of March, the prosecutor haVing brcived a quantity of beer, which he intended that day to cleanse anciput into barrels, gave notice to the defendant of hiS intention so to do, and appointed the hour 'of ten o'clock„for the purpose of enabling the defendant to see that the transaction was conducted in a regular manner. The defendant, however, did not come to his time, and the prosecutor, before miming the beer, signed the declaration required, by law. 'The declaration was sighed at ten o'clock, and the prosecutor proceeded to put the beer into casks. At one o'clock . thO de fendant-came to the premises, and then made no complaint as to -the : ,regularity of the proceeding, but made some objeCtion to the prosecutor's having sent out a cask of beer: to a neighbour sooner than he . ought to have done, but agreed to set that matter right. The prosecutor afterwards had two other brewings, one on the 2d of April, and the other on the 11th of May,. and made the usual declarations, without any 'objection on the part of the defendant. On the 13th of May," however, the prosecutor was summoned before two of. the JusticeS of the Peace, to answer to an information for penalties to the amount of tWo hundred pounds, for having on the .preceding 23d of March, tunned the beer of that day's brewing, without having signed the declaration. reqUired by law. The information Caine on for hearing on the 20th of May; when the defendant swore 'positively that' the prosecutor had tunned his beer without - signing the declaration, and that when he'(the defendant) went to the prosecu tor's premises at one o'clock, the" ink upon the paper was then wet. A lad in the prosecutor's ser vice:was called upon before tho Justices, and de, posed, that the declaration bad been signed by the prosecutor as early as, ten o'clock, sad'beilig then proVided with no other witnesses, the Jut,tices acted upon the evidence of the defendant, and convicted the prosecutor in a penalty, of 50/. No appeal be ing alloWed from this deeiSion, the prosecutor.peti domed the Board of Pccise to mitigate the . penalty; and after some cliffictilty and delay, it was mitigated to 101., and that sum was paid by the prosecutor. %jury was tiOw assigned upon the evidence given by the defendant before the Magistrates, it being alleged that he had falsely and corruptly sworn that the prosecutor had twined, hi's - beer before signing the declaration, and that the ink on the paper was wet at one o'clock, whereas, in truth and in fact, the beer was not tunned until after the declaration was signed, and the ink on the paper was not wet, as the defendant had sworn. The Jury found the defendant Guilty. The business of the Crown Side finished this after noon about two o'clock. None of th, capital con victs were left for execution. NORFOLK CIRCUIT. BURY ST..EDMUND'S; AUGUST 4. TAYLOR V. SIR ROBERT HARVEY, BART., CHARLES SAVILLE ONLEY, Esq., AND EDWARD HUDSON, ESQ. The defendants in this case are bankers of great opulence and respectability at Norwich - . About the year 1820 they opened a branch of their establiSh ment at Southwold, in this county, and appointed a gentleman of the name of Grout their agent in that place. The plaintiff was a respectable farmer re siding near . Rochester, who about the time of the establishment of the branch of Southwold disposed of his stock, &c. and, intending to support himself for the remainder of his life upon'the interest of his money,, he deposited the whole principal in the hands of Grout, the manager of the bank at South wold. The action Was brought for the recovery of the sum of 7,0001. 4s. 2d. paid by the plaintiff into the hands of Grout. Theplaintirs case was conducted by Mr. Sergeant STORKS, and the defendants' by Mr. KELLY. The case occupied the whole day, but th 6 question at issue lay in a very narrow compass. The circum; stances, as they can be collected from, a mass' of do cumentary evidence, were as follows :—The plaintiff having, as above stated, opened an account with Mr. Grout in 1820, continued his dealing without interruption until 1 . 825, when, sharing in the general panic, he' expressed a desire to draw out his money, and vest it in a mortgage, both for better security, and with 'a view to obtain larger interest for his money than the bank afforded. Grou t' as sured him that his money was as safe in the hands of Messrs. Harvey, Saville Onley, and Hudson, as if deposited in the Bank of England.' He undertook, however, to lay out the money on'mortgage for him, and promised, until that could be effected, to allow the plaintiff 21 per cent.'interest fOr the money, in addition to the 2i per cent. allowed by the Bank, making the whole interest 5 per cent. When the plaintiff's pass-hook was made up in January of the present year, there appeared a balance in his favour of 7,0001.45. 2d. Soon after that period, Mr. G. fellfrom his gig, and was killed. A short time after his death the plaintiff - applied to his widow, who Was also his executrix, for payment of half-year's interest, which had been for some time due. He subsequently made a similar application to the executor. Not receiving the money from either, he then made an application to the firm'at Norwich for the payment of principal and interest. The Norwich bankers refused com pliance with the demand, alleging that although Grout was,their agent for the issue of their notes and other banking business, yet he possessed no au thority whatever to make the bank chargeable with the consequences of such transactions as had taken place, between him and Taylor. The whole ques tion, therefore, in the case was—what was the ex tent of Grout's authority as agent of the Norwich firm ? There was only one witness calledon each side. Verdict fOr the plaintiff. The business to-day bef9re the. Lord Chief Baron in the Crown Court was wholly devoid of interest. MIDLAND CIRCUIT—NOTTINGHAM, Auc. 2. Lord TENTERDEN opened the commission here last night ; the Assizes for the county of Notting ham commenced this morning. The Crown calen dar contained the names of 23 prisoners; and in the cause-list there were 17 cases entered for trial. Henry Stavely, George Hopkinson, and Catherine Foster, were indicted for robbing Samuel Wass, on the King's highway. The prosecutor was at Newark on the 18th of April, and was about returning to Southwell at nine o'clock in the evening, when Catherine Foster came up to, him, near the Ram inn, and asked him how he did ? He bad never seen her before to his know ledge, but told her he was very well. She next inquired if he wanted a sweetheart ? He told her to pass on, he had his business to attend to, and was going to Southvvell ; she went 'on about 30 yards, and then joined him again. They entered into conversation, and talked as they walked along, about the badness of the times. She said she was, in great distress, and he offered to give her a glass •o gin, or other liquor, to refresh her. She replied, than her circumstances would - not admit of her drinkiq such things," upon which • he gave her a sixpence. Whilst they were thus talking together, near th. Trent-bridge, the two male prisoners came up, atu Stavely told prosecutor they wanted money, 'y shilling, or a half crown, or something. The pro secutor replied, that he • would give them no mo• ney, unless he was obliged; upon which Stavel collared hint, saying, " Now, George, -- you; eyes; if you are good for any thing, do your best.' The prosecutor - seized Stavely by the collar, ant: while they struggled together Hopkinson struck at the prosecutor. The latter, however, threw Stavel, down, and fell upon him, and while down the other two prisoners were on his back. . Feeling a pull at his breeches pocket, in which he had two sovereigns. some 'silver, and two keys, he let go Stavely and seized the woman by the wrist. She let fall what ever she had in her hand,' but whether it was money or keys he could not say. His pocket was turned inside out. When trying to retain the woman in hi!. Custody, Stavely again seized him, and the proseCu• tor, saying he was determined- to secure one of theth, let the woman go,. and held Stavely. The woman and Hopkinson then picked tip what had fallen on the ground, and Stavely calling out to them to get away, they did so, carrying off .the prosecutor's hat, which had fallen 'from his head: The prosecutor, with.sone dilliculty,•-condUcted Stavely through the town of Newark, in search of a-constable, but when passing through the beast-market, where a mob was collected, his . prisoner was rescued from him. He purstied him, however, until he was stopped by the constable's son, when he again seized him. They afterwards met the constable himself, who said there was no occasion to take the prisoner ihto custody, as he knew him, and he would be forthcoming in the morning. The prosecutor, however, would not let him go, but he was ultimately again rescued from his hold, and. escaped. He and the woman were apprehended next day, and lodged in gaol; and it appeared from the evidence of the gaoler that while there they told him that it was Hopkinson who had got all the prosecutor's money. The three prisoners were' found guilty, and judg ment of death was recorded against them. OXFORD CIRCUIT—STAFFORD, Aua. S. Yesterday-, between three and four o'clock, Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE and Mr: Baron VAUGHAN • ar rived. here; and after attending divine, service, with a view to, expedite the business, opened the' coin mission. John Slack was charged with assaulting Jane Roberts on the King's highway, on the night of the 3d of July last, and taking from her a silk handker chief and Is. 6d. in silver. The evidenCe of the prosecutrix having been cor roborated by two other witnesses, the prisoner in his defence denied the charge, and called a girl, with whom he cohabited, to prove that Roberts was a girl of bad character, and not worthy of credit. Mr. Baron IrAuGHAN having summed up the evi dence, the Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN.—What, after the testimony of the prosecutrix has been confirmed by two wit nesses ? The Jury ,declared that they could not in their conscience find the prisoner guilty. They were all agreed, but they could not believe the evidence of the prosecutsix. - - - Mr. Baron VAUGHAN.—WeII, gentlemen, it is your verdict, and not .mine. .His Lordship then," addressing the prisoner, said, " You have had a most fortunate. escape; but do not suppose that you are unknown. I find that. in 1821 you were con victed of felony here, a Derby in 1824, and at Chesterfield in 1825. DO not fancy that such con duct can escape : you will be hanged another time, you may rely,on it." CONDUCT OF A WITNESS. The crier of the Court complained that .a witness named John Walton, who was required to g o before the Grand Jury, had refused to go. Having been placed in the witness box, Mr. Baron Viuighan in quired the reason of his refusal. Witness (in broad .Staffordshire patois).—l have had nothing to eat or drink. I have a hungry belly, and will have my rights first. ' Mr. Baron VAUGHAN..---I think you have had something to drink. Witness—Well, ces, I have, a little. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN—Let me tell you, if you manifest any thing . . like a contempt of Court, yqu will find yourself in a place you won't like to go to. Witness—l don't know that I have said any thing amiss. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN—You are inclined to be impertinent, Sir, and have retnsed to be sworn. Witness—Whoy; you want to catch me; I see you do.—(Laughter.) Mr. Baron VAUGHAN—We have caught you, and .will hold you fast now; so mind that you are sworn ,now, without further trouble.' WESTERN CIRCUIT.-DORCHESTER, AUG. 3. This day the Assizes "for Dorsetahire commenced in this town. Mr Justice BUtiItOUGH sat on the Crown' side. In his chargé to the Grand Jury he remarked that there was little of importance, though there were several offences to be submitted to their consideration. The criminal business consists of one or two cases of horse and sheep stealing, and a number of petty larcenies. LIBEL..--LANNING V. CRISWICK. This was an action brought by a person of the name of Lanning against Mr. Criswick, the printer and pUblisher of The Sherborne, Dorchester, and Taunton Journal, and. General Advertiser for the South.and West of England. Mr. BARSTOW stated the case for the plaintiff.— The plaintiff was a carrier residing in this county, and shortly. before, the Spring Assizes of the present .year he had the misfortune, through a mistake of identity, to have been committed upon a charge of robbery in his neighbourhood. Some poultry was stolen frOm a lady near his residence, and by mistake the offence was imputed to him. He could not complain of the, legal consequence of that unfortu nate error, neither could he of the trial which fol lowed- Two witnesses (in error) swore to his identity, but he was . immediately acquitted, there not being the smallest real foundation for the charge. So far he had suffered, but so far he could not com plain of. the due operation of the law. It was mortification enough to be made the companion of felons, but it was rather too much to have reserved for him the injury which the defendant had per petrated; for when. Mr. Lanning returned home.ex peeting to be received by his friends and acquaint ances as an acquitted and not dishonoured man, he was looked upon as a convict who had escaped from his gaolers, because this defendant, a man of respec tability and influence, had thought proper in hi, paper to state, that Lanning had been convicted, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. The Jun would rethember that the trial and acquittal tooi, place at the last Spring Assizes for Taunton, mu; yet on the 13th of April, in the defendant's paper.. Lanning's name was put among the transportable cases in the list, or summary, of the sentences of the Assizes. It would of course be said that this had occurred . through some transposition of copy, as ii Was called, or of the types ; and that when the ego) was discovered,. a paragraph was inserted to set ,tin matter right. But the . Jury would recollect, that The LORD -. CHIEF JUSTICE then charged the Jury. lie said, that in the reports of proceedings in Courts of Justice in newspapers, it was undoubt edly, as a general principle, a Justification to prove that they were correctly given. But here a serious error had been promulgated. A man whose mis fortune it was to have been charged with a serious crime, and acquitted, had been recorded ns a con vict sentenced to transportation. It must, how ever, be admitted, that the evidence in the case re futed the notion of malice, and that .the error was instantly corrected. .Under such circumstances, un doubtedly little damage could have been inflicted. He (the Judge) had known this newspaper in the country for many years, and he believed it to be most respectably conducted. There was not a tittle of evidence to show malice here; and he was rather surprised the defendant's original offer was not ac cepted. Now, his opinion upon certain points of practice of the public press was well known ; but at the same time, he was free to say, that he should be always ready to protect it against actions, not for fair redress, but for a compilation and multiplication of costs. The Jury instantly found a verdict for the plaintiff. —Damages one farthing. Mr. Sergeant WILDE, for the defendant, made a vecii.l application to the Court to certify costs, on the ground that every fair retractation had been offered and given; and particularly that an action was now pending against the Bath newspaper for the same offence. Lord Chief Justice BEST said, that he would take until to-morrow morning to consider this application. The Court adjourned at half-past six o'clock. SATURDAY, AUGUST 4. When the Court met at eight o'clock this morn ing, the Chief Justice certified for Mr. Criswick, the proprietor of the Sherborne newipaper,againstwh3rn a verdict of one farthing damages \-/as given yester day, on the prosecution of a man named Limning, who Was stated in the paper to have been sentenced to seven years' transportation, instead of having been acquitted (which was the fact), at the last silting assizes for Somersetshire. The effect of his Lordship's certification is, to prevent Mr. Criswick from being visited with the costs of the plaintiff.,-- The paragraph, which originated in some mistake, was copied from a Bath newspaper, against which Larining has likewise instituted an action. This equitable decision of the Court isimportant, from its necessary tendency to restrain the too, frequent prac tice of disreputable practitioners, to augment actions against' several newspapers for one and the same impirted libel; and such cases have been heretofore sought to be tried before Chief Justice Best, owing to a notion, we believe unfontided, that he entertains strong and idierseOpinions to thegeneral manner in which the public press is conducted. HEKLEF V. 'FRE MAYOR APD BURGESSES OF LYME-ROOLS. This canse, which was an important ,action against the Corporation Of Lyme-Regis for not repai r i ng their sea walls, by which the plaintiff's land had been inundated, was withdrawn, owing to the sudden. illness of the defendants' attorney: Three or four other causes were settled and the business terminated. The commission will be opened on Monday at Exeter. CHALLENGE TO FIGHT A DUEL. TUB KING V. SIR ROBERT STEELE. The COURT inquired whether the defendant was present. After a short delay, occasioned by the crowded state of the avenues, Sir Robert Steele appeared in the witness box, and, was informed that room should be made for him - at the Couilisel table: He replied, that he' was lame and unable to move thriiiigh the crowd to get 'there," and 'would therefore remain where he was, with his Lordship's permission. Captain Garth sat near his' counsel ; and Lady Astley, who had .been subpoenaed -by the defendant, was in waiting, if her presence were called for. The indictment, which' was.or'great length, "and , the defendant with havingandeavoured, by various contained twelve counts, was then read. It charged false, scandalous, and malicious means, to provoke Capt. Garth to fight a duel with him; and, among other modes of proceeding which he adopted, wa s that of writing a letter, on the 23d of February last, and afterwards posting a copy of it in the Weymouth Club Room, as well as circulating more copies of it amongst, the gentlemen of the county. The letter stated in substance that it was only on that after noon that it had come to his ears that Capt. Garth had been engaged in an attempt to undermine and assassinate his (Sir Robert's) character,. by insi nuating that he had taken ae.vantage of his absence to insinuate himself into the confidence of Lady Astley; that as long as he had confined himself to the act of 'tieing the chattering harbinger of biS own disgrace, he ( Sir RoheitY had remained silent,. but that when he had dated to 'aeCuse" him of hay ing taken advantage of a. lady's , protector to make attempts upon. her honour, • the only a nswer he should give him "ivai,''that he' lied in' his throat. Equally false was it if he had 'asserted that he had ever borrowed money' from Min 'which he had not lawfully returned.' The *letter COneloded with an intimation, that notwithstanding the Jury who tried the action for damages {Ailey v. Garth) had stated, that no language could express their detestation of his conduct, and that the Judge who sat on the bench at that trial, had said there, a worse creature than he was could never have crawled, he (Sir Ro bert) was ready to meet him half way, if he ven tured to come forward and give satisfaction, not withstanding be had. found him a traitor to his mis tress, and false to his friend. Let him now show that he was not the recreant knave which the world thought him. The defendant, when called upon for his plea, said, " I have, my Lord, too great a respect for the laWs of my countfy, to 'defend at this moment the breach of the peace whieb I -admit I have com mitted. I therefore plead guilty to, the charge, and throw myself upon the mkeeif u l consideration f the Court." Mr. Sergeant WILDE.—Then, my Lord, on the part of the prosecution, I pray the judgment of the ; Court upon Sir Robert Steele. The C9uKT.Has the defendant any affidavits. Mr. Sergeant ‘ 1 4 . 14:3...—17 1 ch0 not know, but I have some on ibr p!irt of CaptsizOinth, which wish to put in Wore judgnielst is given. J t S;r Robe Steele—l ein without Counsel, my .i.i•IC
