of the Court on this Defendant, who had heel,
indicted for publishing two libels in The Lichfield
Mercury on Sir Robert Peel, Bart. on the 3d
and 17th November, 1819, and had suffered judg-
ment to go by default.
The libels in question were published iu the form
of letters to the Editor of the newspaper, and signed
" Philo-Justice." They reflected on the public

arose out of the animosities of an election contest
fur the borough of Tatoworth, in June, 1818, on
which occasion the Defendant took part with Lord
CharlesTowushend, who was opposed by Sir Robert
Peel and his sou W. Peel, E.q. Our readers
will recollect that from this source of difference
arose a challenge from Mr. Peel to Mr. Floyer,
which came belore the Court of King's Bench in
the shape of • criminal inforrustion moved fur un
the part of Mr. Floyer.

read by the officer of the Court.

vation. He dwelt particularly oil the circumstance
of the Defendant bring a Magistrate, and a man
of fortune and education, who ought better to
have known his duty to the laws. •

of the Defendant, whose conduct, he thought,
though not justified, yet considering the character
of human nature, it was palliated by the provoca-
tions he hart received during the heats which were
so commonly engendered during •n electiori.
Mr. J. WILLIAMS was about to follow on the
same side, when

The Loop CIIIEF JUSTICE said he was obliged
to go to Guildhall, the further proceedings must
