ROCHE. The ATTORNEY:GENERAL prayed the jedgnient of the Court against Mr. EugettiuS Roche, the Edi tor of The Day newspaper, who had seflered lodg ment to go, against him by default, for the same . libel for which Messrs. FiSher,aiid Harvey, the prine ter aid publisher of the paper, had already' received • t:ze judgment of the Court. Our readers Will' re 'collect -that tree libel was levelled against t heeeele diery, whrreeere iissembled to keep the. peace'tlpon the oecasion Of the .riolotis assernAy in Piccadilly, at the time of the-oecetion of the Speaker's war rant against Sir .Francis 3endeit. The defendant put in 'seeeeel affidavits made by himself, and by i/gessrs. George, Vincent Doeihog, Da , id Cur wen, Edward Seymetee, ane Peter ' Cour tier, gentlemen- likeeise on. the literary ei!eloheh mem of The. Day ; train which it appeared that 41 . e proprietorship uf that Paper wetstlivid4l 2 ,iete - 300 shares; and that the Paper was conducted by a -Committee of .13 ot these Proprietors, together_ with, a Chairman and a Secretary.. Tee Paper is well known to be the property of the Auctioneers. It was tit first edited by a Gentletrean who hadthe'entire management' of it,, and, gave to it what poluicel• tone was consonant to' his fel:rigs; and whet' it was,, conducted in 'this manner, the defendant filled the situation of second writer in ii. The Cemeditee afterwards saw i tetson,, however, to [three an alter -tie tion in ibis plan ; and upon the secession of the firs( editor of • the paper, that office, as apt as related to the management of .the paper, and the' conduct of. its politics, was assumed by the Committee them trebles,- who appointed toe defendant notnieal editur ender their entire Controul. For the perpoae of give ingin his name at -Le Stamp-re:lice, as the law re quired, five snares in the paper were transferred in to his name.. Pre.tously io the eublteetimof4 the libel ue question, it had been settled by the .ContH melee, that, for the e urptist of increasidg the sale of The.Day,' the popular side of the questiori rela tive to the aperehetisien of Sir. Francis Bindett by the Speueer h warrant should be taken by that paper; it heel(); oeee foetid that the sale decteased by the cacumstanCeor its ha, iog sided e ith- the,proprietors ei 'Covent-Garden Theatre, in their diapute Atelier he tree. The defendant gave. it as his opinion, that tills .treasure would certainly have ;its ettect ot in creasing the sale of the paper ; but _added, that the - pine:ea Sir Francis fiureettelid not cuiticitie with 1116 '1, 7 1.. , (.6 i' and. that, althougfi he cen-idered. it.hiS duty to centortn to the .iwtseys of the Ceininitteve he cow( not be expected iii'fiViPport the pencipteeeel Sir F. Burdett Welt any „degreeof warrotle Ota tee evening oefore the e ueticatioe of the lihel in ques tinu, Mr. Dowlet was . appoutted by the CoMeintee to go to Piecadi t Ay, for the purpose of re l enting ;tie conduct of the ovulate, and the, military there assembled. Mr. DoWling arrived tit. The Day Office at about one o'clock in the morning, and was met there by Mr. H. Phillips, auctioneer, of New-. Bond. street, the Chairman rit the Committee, - with whom the held a conference, in , which the defendant did nut join. It eas otherwise swore, however, that Mr. Dovelitig took Mr. Phillip S's instructions as to the tone 'at the article, which tainted the libel,; and that upon Mr. Dowling's asking hint what he was to say of the military, Mr. Phillips' replied, " don't spare them." .At this late hour, Ms. Dowling be 7 gan to write the libel upon very small slips of paper, wnich, wete carried away to the .printers, as fast as they were written, without giving even Mr. Dow ling an opportunity t e r revise them. The • deiendaet waited at the office till three o cluck, in hopes to be able to revise what Mr. Dow hug had written ; but upon his asking the printer for a proof at the ettielei he was informed that there was nut time tor. lee, even to have a sight of it ; and that siadt revise could be of no use, since, if the defendant were to mark any thing for cerreetione it Would, be quite impossi ble for such collection to be ni tt e e . Tee printer rd the newspaper had contratted whit the -.etopeetots • that the paper sletald be reedy tot publication - every u 'c b l e o y ek a , a nyc isd oo a la d nds received wiuc or ders from should t 4 m tro u rt rn t itnhge'mb,yt:i.ohtt.te o maitre° against ' this punctual puhtication, under penalty of losing hisedivalion I . and WI Ci..7italdijueft affidavit stated itiStalltst in. which his particular or ders had been torced to yield to LittlSts general titles of the Committee. Upon the publicatioti of the libel in the m6l - fling, (till wheu the d e f en d ant n ever saw it'', he saw es mentions nature with regret allot horror ; and tor the purpose, of counteracting its effect, he caused a letter to he written, signed " A_ Loyalist," and entitled " A Vmdicaiion of the Ar. my," which was sawn afterwards inserted in the same paper. This indirect apology.fin the libel was the only one the detendete could insert,. as it had been decrued by the Cemeneee, to - whom tee tie lendare represented the libellous nature of the arti cle in question, that' no direct apology should ever be made for any article in The. Day. The defen dant contrived, however, to insert two paragraphs in the paper, in direct contradiction of the statement which had,beete before made, relatiVe to the con , duty of the soldiery in Piccadilly ; and otherwise en - deavuured to countetact its effect in a paper, el which tee detendant was the uricrietrouled editoi, called :erre National Register. Since; the periP4 of the libel, the detendare had - becotineless restricted tu his conduct of the Paper; and it 'IOW bore the cutt reefer of a government print, to which wee the Le lendaet had brought it round by degrees. The detendant put in other affidavits by Mt - . Hoare, the banker ; Mre Darbyshire, the surgeon ; and others, a* to his peaceable chara4ter and loyal principles;, and the surgeon further swore. that the defendant Wel been atihe e ed with an asthmatic eon)- • plaint, and had at times been visited with a witting 1 of blood ; and that he verily believed the clamp ness and confined air of a prison would endanger his life. . The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Court upon the subject of these affidavits, many of which, he said, the defendant was very ill-adviSed‘,lO pro duce. 11 ; Mr. MAa.stiorr addressed:the Court in mrigstion of puni,hment, pressing particularly the above points in the defendant's affidavits. The defendant add entirely under the controul of the Committee: what could he do ? Lord ELL EN Bononoit."—Why,prefer dutyltoprofit, and quit an employment which it went against his conscience (to retain. The Leirned Counsel urged she motives of psu ' dence which restrained the defendant, married as he was, and his wise in a state of pregnancy, from hastily quitting a situation, from which he del ed his sole support without ha►ing airy other in Vii N. Lord ELL9NBOROUGH again interrupted the Coon srl, while he Wits procceding tattier too tar in excu ipaig the defendant tutu any moral guilt, ev adverting to the cir6IIIIISt3INO of his lending his name at the Statnp-odi,:e as t4T Tapun,ibie Egitor of a Paper containing a libel likt,z, the. pre sent. ' . :The defendant was ordered to he cotnmitted to the custody of the Marshal of the. IVLrshalsea, and brought up for judgment on Monday next. •THE XING- V: FINNERTY. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL prayed the jUdgment of the Court against Mr. Peter Finnerty, for a libel on Mr. Castlereagh. Mr. FINNERTY having appeared in Court, pre sented his Affidavits.' Mr. Ft-NNERTy.--4 have endovoured to shape this amtnded affidavit sal as to meet your Lordship's wishes. PeWaps, however, notwithstanding my ,slare and my ;Arid adherence- to' the precedent on !deb I have tramed it, some errors may have crept in, which 1 hope may be imputed ti) my inexperience. Shall I pOint ont; to Save your Lordship' time, the placo•to . -whiCh it was read before the Court inter .rupted it ? . Lord ,F,i.,CENuotrotyoti.---No.; I desired you to bring a• new aitd inoffensive artidavit ; .1 hope you have tatters my well-Inemit advice.' • Mr, Fi'lssati, rsr...--1 base to remark on some , thing which tell from the Counsel .on -the last cc - • casi on naw let the affidavit be read first. The affidavit watt here read. ,It detailed, in the first place, the reasons why the detehdant v.r.4 not in Court before, when judgment was prayed pg . :lino ; it next ino,7eeded to.tnate why he had suffer ed jodgment to g by default'; ho now, huwei'er, slated his belief of every circumstance with which he had charged Lord Castlereagh, and at this period offered the truth in justification. Lord ELLENBOROVG2i...—I objected to this be fore; I warned you to amend it by to-day ; you have come here,'however, without appear ' ing to havo profited by onr advice or our indel , gence. I, hepe, Sir, you come in the proper spirit to mitigate a crime of which you have confessed the commission. . , Mr. FINNERTY.I have, I nope, come here to-dity with a suitable spirit. I have come here, , however, tinder no consciousness of guilt, and I will avow none. i That part of the affidavit which you have now interrupted, you suffered to be pro- ceeded with on' a former clay. The part to which the Court objected has been expunged ; I have expunged above two- , birds of the affidavit, but hdve suffered that to which no objection was made t. ! .) remain. Lord Et.LENnotionott.-.—Then hand it' back to him. We reject it, Si.; you got very indulgent advice from us, and you have rejected it; you molt take the Onsequel4ce.

Mr. FltiNasTY.--Well, then,, it so, though I have affidavits here which would a,tonish the coun try ; ranee I am excluded from piesenting theM, it is my misfortune. Here is one unexcep. tionable. The alF.davit of David Power, Eq. a volunteer in the army at. Wolcheieri, was bete- read, stating the ithininont in which Mr. Finnerty titood troth Lola Castlereagh's Order. The affidavit of Dodlor Lii.seornhe was also read, stating, that he had attended Mr. Finnerty in No- V#mber last, and that he was then n extreme dan ger of derangement and death, Owing to anxiety of mind; and that he was cot yet.quite recovered.

It you do not believe him guilty, I pledge my.elt here to produce, if 1 am allowed, above fifty atliavits, con firming on his part horrors so unparalleled, that not a man who hears me but will invoke the Throne of Justice for vengeance on his head.

FINNEHTY.—My Lords, according to the doctrine 'which vt, as Lai.' down by this Court,. that truth was To justification, I pleaded tunny on my trial : I did So because 1 1 understood that on being brought upsur judgment I mighk . produce the ttute in mitigation. .Tlint was eo idle sian p y of my own it WA* built. upon .yuur precedenti.' t Since the law was against rue, I have deterred to it; but nothing on earth shall induce me to Make any sut l / 4 rossiori to Lord Castlereagh. No; my .Lord, your laaguage to Gait Jones on his trial was; that he liachio Frool,of . what he bad stated. That ithall not apply to I here tender you the plain unque4tonahie teiclimg c of LOrd'Cit.vtlereagh's guilt; I have:wreten leo a syl— lable which I cattosn wove. I now otft,:r ro,do so ; and in the ince'of this Court aed of ilia coutitvv, to ershibit him, beyond.. all doubt, the basest iedi victual woo ever prostituted the high office reposed in hims The CoURT,—We cannot hear this: • You way now utter fresh libels against . Lord Castlereagh, which he can have no opport way of rrbutring. Mr. FINNERM—Yee, my 'Lord, Le w ill have an opportunity. I otter my affidavits. Let kiln, as Colonel Draper did, put in c„unter-affidavits, ti he can, and thus rebut my evitience. If he cannot'do this, he must stand arraigned and convicted h,fkoe the country. I ask your Lordships to &ve him Ile opportunity ; or if you do not, I ask yoti;. in ties name of all that is sacred, how can you reconcile it to yourselves to send me to a prison for uttering Lae truth ? Will yottbear my affidavits ? The Couter.—No; not IT they are 114 same as those which you have offered. They cannot plead in mitigation. Mr. FINNERTY.—ACCerding to this, I am curious to hear what yeur Lordship means by mitigations . , I again offer my affidavits. The Comm-4 said before, not to the purport of those you have offered. Mr. FINNERTY.—I shall, then, state the put. port of a few ; and then your Lordship can re ceive or reject them as they proceed, , I haVe here 1111 affidavit of, under hiagoiernment, a father and son tortured side by side. Will you read that r The COULAT.—No. . Mr. VILNINIARTY..-..- Here is aeother from Mrs Hughes,. whom Lord Castlerogh saw after the tor ture had been inflicted: his back was rawraw*eith the scourge, and his shirt one mass of blood loosely flung around him. Tbe CoURT.—Why iS contumacy to the Court. FINNRIITY, , --.1 Wish to offer none. I - stand here, net to repel your judgment, but to vindicate my character. Reputation' is dearer to toe than hie; and in compat Ron with the loss of that, any punish ment within power's limits to inflict has little terrors for me. I lone (Aldred now to prove the truth of all my statements. According to the law t. may be called a libeller; but it I had not offered toy af fidavits, I might be called a liar also. Since the Court does not choose to hear the truth of this aver* tent, I proceed to another. Mr. DiXbti . b affidavit stated that he was a Yeo man in 0'985 that he saw three peasants whipped and tottered without trial. The CouttT.—What does this prove ? Mr. FINNOJITYo•--IL goes on tcr stare that these cruelties were committed with Castlereagh's saw:- tion and privity. The COL , RT.—You, have been often told these things were irrelevant: 1)., not compel us to send you back to prison till next Term, m order that you may come here to re,.eive our judoneat in a becoming manner. Mr. Ft NN E rtr Y.—l have been at very great trouble and expencd to procure those affidavits, I went tu
