wee so far beck ea the year 1830. His Highness addressed
the courtier about two hours and in the coarse cf his speech,
which he road, he said that, the public pr. as by holding up
his political conduct to public execration, was maculated to
place him in such a posilloo that he might be treated by en
inferiated mob in the same way that Marshal Rigout nail
been treated by the men in the b, ewer, of Messrs. Barclay
and Perk.i.e. fie aln said that lite was nottiog • ithout
heneur, and rather than be subjected to perpetual calumny
he would prefer that the judge or one of the jury should
shoot hies.
Oo behalf of the plaintiff, evidence was called to prove
that the defendant was the printer end publisher of the
joutnal which contaiued tee alleged I,bel complete, d of.
Sir F. Thesiger then addressed the jury ca behalf of the
defendeatt, arsd contend, d that the arid. in gnestion wee
merely a lair commentary upon !ha Duke of Brunswick's po-
litical career, and every public journelist had a right to to
comment upon the conduct of public men. With respect to
the words his "own amoral and sinister obscurity" they
MN merely a recommendation to the duke to retire Into
private lite, and to mamma the title of *overt:4n Doke of
Brunswick, which he did. The words had no reference in
goy wan to hie private proceeuiege.
Mr. Janie, Brie then summed up, and told the jury that
If the article in question was likely to CSUIN the plaintiff to be
regarded with hatred, contempt, or ridicule, and it did not
eon Ai within the esception which the defencant said it did,
then it was a libel. With regard to the word " natural,'!
which was printed in italics, it was (or the jury to gay
whether it meant " uenaturai," and accused the duke of
unnatural patient. If it did it was an aggravated libel,
hat it appeared to him (Mr. Justice Ede) that a contrary
construction was compatible with the whole spirit of the
article in question.
The jury thee retired, and after a short &been*" returned
into court eei.h a verdict for the defendant.
THE QL-Elll4 V. CARTEL—INDICTMENT FOR FEWEST.
Tbil was an indictment for torjury, • hick was preferred
by a Jew of the name of Abraham Cohen, against the soli-
citor of the North Western Railway Company. The alleged
perjury arose out of an affidavit made by the defendant in
eer.ain prices Inge wl.icb had token place between to pro-
s. cuter of the indictment, and the N irth Western Redway
Company, respecting the amount of compensation to be given
for his premien', which were situated in Birmingham, sod
which the company nqeited for the purposes of the
railway. We, however, lathier going into tee details, by
canto the jury at the conclusion of the case for the Franca-
tion ultimata .ualy gave it as their opinion that the chugs was
an uofounded one.

This was a special cue, which rained the question of the
validity of • requestration issued by the Bishop of Norwich.
Toe defendant was the &quadrate', and it was admitted
that if the sequestratien had daly issued the action must
fell. The plaintiff was perpetual curate of one benefice with
,on of seals, and was se' ungainly preeented to the rectory
of ~nether wish, ales with our of foul*. Concurrently with
tne second presentation a recusant was issued under the
teal of the bebop, addressed to the rector, which " united"
the rectory si.d perpetual curacy so long as the incumbent
ehmild live, but contained a condition that It, should kocp •
sufficient curate in that parish where he did not reside. He
*treading', sp?ointed • curs,. with a salary of 60!. ier
annum ; this was raised by the bishop to 80/., under the
authority of 1. sad 2 Vic., e. 106, I. 83, he treating the
plaintiff as ami-residtot. The plaintiff refused to pay,
and the bishop proceeded to enforce payment by
questea.ioo. The plaintiff contended that tts excu-
ses et fora! alluded to made the two buts fices one, so
thatha wee in fact resident upon both. The court M00r.%
that many objections would apply to such a ration,
whether judged of by the general tenon law, or
the tenon law as recognised in this country, but
did not thick it necessary to go further into that quer
don. Instruments of this kind were not unusual in the die•
cese of Norwich, and it is clear that the present was not in-
tended to create • union in the sense implied by the plain-
tiff. Lock ng at the whole instrument the court thought
that to Five it say such contrive.= would be doing violence
to the leaguers as well as the spirit of it. In the case of
"The Qom' v. loge" (era: Eliz., p. 719), a dots-
meat containing similar words to toe, present, " animus,
&notatio's et iccorpoismue," well construed not as
• union but a dispensation. In the present case
by tne very previsions of the instrument &curate was to be
kelt on that benefice where the incumbent aid not rreide ;
an I, therefore, it treated re sidente on ore as nen residence
en the other. The Court, therefore, were of opinion that
the plaintiff was coo-resident, and that it was bound to
give effect to the statets of Victoria, which was calculated
to dist...untrue, cc non residence, and to give power to the
ordinary to appoint curates with proper salaries, and to en-
force payment of those salaries by summery process; and
that judgment nest, therefore, be for the delencleat.

Ms O'alaltey, 14 C., with whom was Mr. Richards, mated
that that was as aetiem easiest the desadantora the
error of three bills of exchasgi , 'soak drawn oa the 25th
ut ti.ptember, 1819. at two mouths, one tur 1001., the

Fat is the hills, and prove the handwriting of the drawer

and acceptor.
Mr. liwuffte7. Q.C., with whom was Mr. lime Rod Mr.
R. B. llact..c, said he would admit the haadwriting of the
drawer and ace• ptor, sad the bills were accordingly read by
the officer of the came% They were drawn by William Mil-
ton, and act ptrd by Mr. C. Z. Barry Baldwin, and endorsed
over to the plaintiff.
Mr. Ilumirry then addressed the jury for the defendant,
who, he Bel I. was • lOU of the member for Totems+' Ina a
li 11'1.1.lflt in the Gist Rifle Brigade. He returned from
CR, oda last year, and unfortuoately became acquainted with
• a t of swindlers, by whom he was induced to go to a
house in Jermen-street, called the Betting Turf Stores, in
the month co S• ptemh.r, and there he played at a come
called chicken hazard with • person celled Ben-
sons, end let 2001. Heise unable to pay the amount,
it was prep sod that he should give his acceptance
and he accoroingly wrote hi. name acron two bills of en-
change, but he was so intoxicated teat the parties who had
received the Recipient's too id the next morning, from the
m+Doer In which he had enliven his name, that they could
make no nee of the d,ceinteate. There was • person in the
company called Milton, and the neat morning, being the
25th Sept., he called ow the defendant, and told him that Mr.
Ransom, was willing to take 1501., instead of the 2001., and
got defendant to wive two on• for 1001., and the other
tor 501. Now it cursed out that Milton (who was • horse
jockey at Hammersmith) had no authority whatever to do
this, and who a It iosom loused it out, he intreated defendant
sot to pay the bills A short time alter another bill for 751.
was obtained front defendant. He went again to the same
bowie, and, when drunk, was persuaded by a penun celled
Crab r that he had made • bet with him as to which
horse would win the Triennial Stakes. The race teak place
on that d.y, end the waiter having been sent out to ascer-
tain which bone had woo, the defendant was awoke from his
sleep, and told that to 114 lost, and be was Joao( ed to give
a bill of exchange for 751 This was 4110 in September.
When the lulls became due they were dishonoured, and the
defendant was informed of that tact by the plaintiff. the bills
heehaw been endorsed to • person c. ded James Etna ' and
by hiss to the plaintiff. A writ of summons was icued on
the leith of D.eemner fo I ming, and the present action
brought. Inquiry was then made about the parties, and
a bill was Slut in Chancery to obtain from the plaintiff in-
formation as to the manner in which he became poeuseed of
the bills. In his answer, he endeav tared to account for thtir
p.aseeston, sad said that two bills af 501.. ach, two of 1001.
each, and one of 751, waling together 3724. accepted by the
defendant, had come Into his hands, and that he bad dis-
counted them for Milton is November, 1849. Now, it ap.
peered that us drily of that year Milton had taken the
benelit of the Icedv.ost Act, and be scold show • hat the
plaintiff had been seen with him in the Qui ac's Prison in
that month, His debts were 1,8004., and he had not a far-
thing in the shape of amen He was remanded by the In-
solvent Debtor's Court for floe months, and the plaintiff
was a creditor to the 411101112 t of 701. for two dishonoured
bills of exe,ange; he,therefore, knew the character of the man
with whom be said he had treated this sum of 3751. Lloyd,
the plaintiff, mule oat his astosat in this way.—To cash,
1001.; to each pail Mr. Asps, (an attorney), 451.; two
over.das bills, 751 ; two pipes of wine, 801., (nd Incise
demounted the bills en the 24th of November—two days
' beton they became doe) the last item was discount 751. The
defendant denied all ibis, sod be had called on Lloyd to
produce the overdoe bids, and the dock warrants for the
wine, without effect. In his answer ice Ch•ncery plaintiff
went ow to say that Milton called au him, and asked him to
dimwit the hills, and he thought he had better do so through
his Need and agent—a most respectable house agent—Mr.
Baia. On the great side at Fetter-lace, in Fleet-street,
there was a little obscene print-shop, with " James Ewan,
sued Deer and horse ages.," written over the door in large
litters; and upon inquiry it had been Mood out, that
throwek this little dirty shop there was • room, with • their
and table in it, at which nobody ever sat ;—(lasalver)—but
when He. Bina occasionally paid • visit. Plaintiff went on
to say that be insisted on Berm putting his name to the bill,
masks himself liable, for which he paid hiss 21 per sent ; bat
Mr. Hwin's said this was an utter falsehood, end that he
never received a peens from the plaintiff in reference to the
matter. Now he would prove that Lloyd bad been
told at the hoes, in Jennyn.street, that the bills
were given at Vey, and that he knew the whole
character of the transaction. Lloyd had not the en-
cuss of Milton and Bann, for he was not a poor
man, he found the money in these proceedings. There
was no I• 40 who deserved e i much to be discarded from so-
ciety as the accomplished villain who could walk the streets
moo lock honest men in the face, and yet haunted dens of
infamy, and made his horrid fortune by pretending to ad-
vases money on bills obtained under such circumstances
from his unhappy victims—and who, as the crowning act of
his iniquity, bad the impudence to come into • court of ju•tiai
lead challenge McLain,. Wherever such trips wen set, there
were always some persons found ready to fall into them. Of
gambling it bad been truly sad—
With equal haste, through different paths they run,
Bane to undo °then to be undone.
But fortunately, for the ends of jutice, me. who had been
guilty of the conduct which he had described, did not always
'snipe detection sn I punishment, and he was confident the
Jury would, by their verdict, record their sense of this in-
famous transaction.
Witnesses were then called to prove the statements made
by the learned counsel, but the answen by Eerie, who (the
turned conasel maid) has left the country, sad Milton (dam
dimmed) were nem allewed to be vosirid es 'video's.
