THE KING.

WINDSOR, FED. 9.
On Tuesday Sir Charles Long arrived at the Castle.'
On his arrival he was met by Mr. Wystville, and, as ono
of the Commissioners, inspected the progressive improve-
tnenta hitherto made, both exterior and interior, with
which he seemed highly pleased. On leaving the Castle
Sir Charles proceeded to the Royal Lodge, where he had
an audience of his Majesty, with whom, and his Majesty's
distinguished attendants, he had the honour of dining and
passing the evening.
Yesterday Sir C. Long took leave of his Majesty, and
left the Royal Lodge for his residence in town,
His Majesty has not hitherto left the Royal Lodge;
but as the weather is becoming favourable, it is daily ex-
pected that his Majesty will resume his former salutary
exercise.

DEPARTURI OF Till DUKE OF Warttsrorow.—Early
on Thursday morning part of the suite of his Grace the
Duke of Wellington arrived at Dover, and soon after nine
his Grace, accompanied by Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Ms
Private Secretary, Lord Dunglass, Secretary of Embassy,
Hon. Captain Cathcart, Aide-de-Camp, and Doctor Hume,
reached Wright's Hotel, under a salute from the guns at
the heights. After an elegant dejeune his Grace proceeded
to the Pier, where he and suite embarked, on board his
Majesty's packet the Fury, which left the harbour for CO
lais under another salute from the heights, and the cheers

tive of our gracious Sovereign.
ISLINGTON PARISH.—An opinion haling been (rtes..
tained that the Rev. Mr. Denham, the Afternoon Lec-
turer, was about to resign, two candidates starred for the
situation, sent round circular letter., appointed their Com-
mittees, and commenced an active canvass. The hopes of
both are for the present however disappointed, as the Rev.
Daniel Wilson, M.A. the worthy Vicar, has sent a circular
to say that there is no vacancy, and in the event of such
a circumstance occurring, in order to prevent the ammo.
sity which a contested election would' occasion, he will
himself appoint the Lecturer, and will pay his salary him-
self from his own pocket!

QUALIFICATION OF JUROR&
_TIM WING V. TIEMICAMIL _

This was an indictment against the defendant for perjury. tom.
Witted in the trial of an indictment charging Mr. Hulse, of the Bo-
rough of St. Ives, in Cornwall, with corruption.
The defendant was convicted at the Lent Ceenish Amiss" 1835.
• het in Trinity Term last Mr. C. F. Williams moved for and ob-
tained a rule to show cause why a new trial should Dot be had, on
the grqund that one of the James by whom he was convicted was
in,properly pat on the Jury, and was objectionable in threw re.
pp..cts :—First, he was not summoned as a Juror, hut answered so
the came of his father, who was summoned ; secondly, he was a
minor, and therefore unfit by the Common haw,. thirdly, he was
not possessed of a sufficient copy-hold or freehold. and therefore be
was inelitgible under the 7th and Bth of William 111., cap. 87. I
Mr. Slawartsre now showed cause against the rule. The Je-
rre upqn whose ineligibility the present motion woe founded had
made al. affidavit; his name was Richanl Hurd Williams, and he
'mated that John Williams. his father, of Hampton, in the county
of Cornwall, being summoned to act as aJwor at the Assitea in
question, was unable so to do, and requested the deponent to at.
teud for him, and he according went. its there were not sufficient
Special Jurors on the trial of Mr. Ilslse's indictment. a lees was
prayed, and when the name of John Williams was called, the de-
tention' answered thereto, not thinking it was soy harm, as he at.
tended the Assizes in the place of his father. The deponent fur.
t .er said that he had been informed his birth took place m nr about
weber, 1804, so that at the trial in March, 11125, be would only be
about twenty years and six months old. He also swore that be
was not possessed of any such freehold or coeyhold estate as would
et:titled him to serve as • Juror, nor did lie serve on the Jury in
in question by the request or privity of eitrier of the parties. Other
affidavits bad been tiled. made by the father and mother of the
'Juror, who only stated that they believed he was born in or about
October, 1804; but did not fix MS age with positive certainty.—.
The Learned Counsel contended that the objection now taken
would have been ground of challenge at the trial, and ought then
ettjuive been made. It was not pretended that any defect of justice
had arisen from this young man serving as a Juror, and if the
Court allowed this objection in the present Instance to prevail as
froilod for a new trial, nothing could be more ease than for a de-
fendant to procure a similar practice in any case it here he might
expect a conviction, in order to lay the foundation fur a new trial.
Mr. HILL followed on the same side.
Mr. C. F. Witt-taus Insisted that on every ground this unt
was ineligible. This conviction was, in fact, by • Jury of eleven
_as the twelfth was objectionable on every ground,
persons be treated as a nullity. If the position' on the other able
was to be admiued, that no defect of justice had arisen from the
sitirnissiou of a minor on the Jury, such a principle would apply
equally to the allowing of a person only If years old to discharge
Chose most inipnrtant functions affecting the lire, liberty, or pro-
perty of the subject, which all Judges had thought delegated quite
. satin enough to jurors at the age of 31.
Mr. J. DA 'ILLY was proceetliug on the same same side, but was
stopped by
The Co u Ili, who were unanimously of opinion that the objec-
tion a the minion, of the juror was quite sufficient ; but, coupled
with the other objections, there sari ground enough for this Court
to say that this was a conviction by eleven jurors only, and there.
tore there ought to be a Dew trial.
Rule absolute.
