the Court in the performance of their ditty, la executiog a
writ of sequestration, which had been issued soder the Great
Seal, to sequester some property of the Defendant Bingham.
It appeared that the Defendani Bingham was decreed to ply

COURT or KING'S BENCH, Wrrns
MONDAY, FVORUARY 11.

YDS NINO P. DUNN.
This Defendant, convicted of pen jury al the last sittings
for Middlesex, before the Lioel Cilia Justice, was this
morning brought up to receive the judgment of the Court.
Mr. Justice BATLEY, after some suitable emeserseals on
the liehsousuess of the offegce which die Delgada*t bad
committed, sentenced bins to the custody of the Marshal of
the Msesholsea for two months and at the expiratiou of that
period to be transported fur seven years.
TAN VINO o. DAVID RIDGWAY.
The Defeudent, who was convicted at the LaDeilli•f
AIPSIM of having published a seditlMJ•libel,entitted, " New
Year's Address to the Reformers," was placed on the flour of
the Court to receive sentence.
Mr. Justice BATLEY, in pronouncing the sentence of the
Court, alluding to the cif.' afar letter, stated in the De.
feialast's affidavits to leave been trausositted by the Secretary
of the Constitutional Association to %violin Magistrates
of the county of Lancaster, said, the Court would always
express it■ strongest disapprobation of the conduct of say
person or prosecutor who might, previous to trial, circulate
auy paper haviug the effect of exciting any bias iu the pub-
lic mind. It was of the highest importance to public
justice that every emu should come to trial before an un-
prejudiced sad nnbiassed Jury, and if the Court should be
called upon to punish any individual who might have cir-
culated matter of such a nature-, the punishment iußictcd
would be of such a nature as to have the effect of repressing
the practice in future. 10 the present case tient appeared
on ground to consider that any Jury, biassed Olt ushiseried,
could have come to a diffeieut conclusion from the present.
The publication was undoubtedly seditious, end cakniated
to produce acts of open violence.
The seuteuce of the Court was, that the Defendant should
be imprisoned twelve mouths in the Castle of Lueesster, and
at the end of that time rice security fur his good behaviour
for three yews, himself iu NW. and two sureties *a SO/.
each.
