As the hops did nut finish coming in till Monday evening,
the huainess did not open in the hop fair till Tuesday morn-
ing, when a large quantity was exhibited for sale. The
number of pockets in the country rows exceeded lest year
upwards of 300 pocket.; those from Worcester, Sussex,
Essex, cud Kent, were not so nuomeruns as we have know,,
them, Munch thee, were many fine samples of the respective
comities. Surrey still keeps the lead as to price. Farnham.,
which were also more numerous than last year by about 300
pockets, settled down from 51. 12s. to Of. Us. per cwt. which
induced t►e country rows to sell at from 41. 4s. to 51. 12s.
Taking ■ comparative view of the growth of last year with
this, it is generally considered that the bops, though tole-
rably guod,ere nut so free tom dimmer, nor yet so bright
sod full in condition. The buyers on Tuesday held off frum
purchasing, ■nd little or no business was s ffected; an
opinion prevailing that the planters hail eseeeded the price
they inleetiled ultimately to accept; and under an expecta-
tion of ■ reduction on Wednesday, the purchasers remained
quiet. On Wedoesday, however, they took ■ start, and sold
briskly, and by the eveniag nearly half the hops en the hill
were marked off as sold. The quantity of country hops
pitched this year was 1,359 pockets; Farnham., 3.000 ditto.
The queasily pitched lasi year was, Country, 7,040 pockets;
Ferules's.. 2.600.

The Chief Justice—This is nut the place to.
settle matters of that kind.

Mr. hunt—l was told my case would peremp-
torily come on this morning.
The Chief Justice..-The prevent case stood be.
fore it.

Mr. llinit—The Defendant, Mr. Cathie, lima
had no notice to attend. Ile is not prerairrif.
And, 48 my cao•e will li4ke up but a sburt time, I
think the two cases may be beard to-day. IVb.le

Mr. Hunt—Yes, my Lord,
The Chief Justice-Their, I must 'batten' you
that the ease now called stands first on the paper.
Mr. Holit.—My Lord, I have already had three
notices of trial. In April, in Julie, and to the pre*
sent month. Causes that stood after nn ine have

and if the trial does not proceed, I must r

The Chief Justice-11,er you dune
Mr. Iliont—Sit far, my Lord.
The Chief Justice—Because, if you have, I
could wish to say a few words.
'Mr. Hunt—l was anxious that my trial should
come on. I therefore brought any witnesses. They
are now in attendance for the third time. If any
cause is put off, I say 1 have a right to complain
net merely of delay, but of a denial of justice.
The Chiefiustice—You have reported that twice..
This is the first instance that I have known store (
had the honour a attending in this Court, and
have been many years at the bar, certainly not long
oil the Bench, iu which such an application or 7111(11
language has been addressed to arty person tatting
where I at present do. The usual course has been for
individuals,, who had causes set down, to arrange
with their solicitor and the proper officers of the
Court, the iliac most convenient fur them to be heard,
It is not to the Judge, sitting here. that the appli-
cation should be inside. When I first took my place
in this Court, I eXprrlitiell uu anxiety, as there was
a great press of business, which has since rather
growl' on us, that the different causes should be
taken, as nearly' as poosible, in the order in which
they were entered on the paper. But I did not in.
lignite that such a course should invariably be nor,
sued—because I well keen that coiling must ofrtu
riccur, with respect to which lit and proper seasons
might be adduced, either to warrant their past one-
omit or their acceleration. I understood fr you,
on Tuesday, that you had agreed•to let your cause
stand for Thursday.
Mr. Hunt—l did not agree or disagree, The
proposition was submitted to me,
The Chief Justice—l had 110 objection to its
being taken on that day..-bat other causes had iite-
cedeure. arid, of course, they took trierr regular
turn. Mr. Carlile stood then as a Defeirdstot us
five different causes, which were all before yours,
end it was my duty to take them is the order in
which they ware entered on the list. Itb got at
better to proceed 111 that regular Way—nail I wilt
not be induced, on this, or on any other
to depart from what I conceive to be my tlivy, by
any bold man rising in this Court. and telling no,
that if I do riot do the thing lie asks. I sou guilty
of' a denial of justice.
Mr. Carlile—My Lord. I have been token by
surprise on this trial. I inquired last taglit, a Ist tii;e
it would come on this munuug, and uu person in tint
King's Bench could inform me.
The Chief Justice—flow lung is it sluice you had

Mr. Carlile—wAbout a quarter of no how age,

Besides, he can scarcely say be is taken by surprise
when be knew very well that his cause bil)011 fit X t

trial. But, my Lore. I cannot suff.r it to he po.r-
mined, to the prejudice of other suitors. If Ow
trial is put off, it must be with the unsleritisiiniiitt
that it shall stand over till after tbese
Some day, after neat Term, may be •ppointed fur 1,.
The Clerk--Mr. Cathie knew the total wsonlot
come ou this looming. I=l. last said it woulti

Mr. Carlile.—Wheo I wade inquiry last night I
did pat get a decisive answer.
The Chief Justice—The Attoraey-Graeral sari

either proceed with the trial lair or let it stand over
till the sitting after Mitt terus.'cir's day hi the term

Mr. Carlile-1 would rather take it now. I sin
prepared to mind, but there are a few books which
1 have not with me *hit 1 should like to refer to.
'lh-it, I ran send far.
The ebi.f bailer—Yos base to make your
steetion. The Attorsiey.General is willing to post-
t•fine pow. mil. It is inconvenient to suitors here,
%oho, s irh 'their witnesses, are proh.ibly in attend-
note, s'ihnhgh they do not stand forward to com-
plain of the delay occasioned by these interruptions.

The Chief Justice.— Do you wish it to crime on
the ahtence of the Defendant, who is not pre.
i.oired for it ?
Mr. Ilunt—Nn, 1 woeW not take that advantage
or hint. which I am sure he would take with me.

Mr. Gurney—lion leave no right tir say that.

Th. Chief Justice—Mr. Hunt, if you do not
conduct inureelf decorously nod decently, you

personally at all. Such conduct dues not befit the
rt•stwer due to a Court of Justice.
Mr. Illtit—My Lord, I know the Defendants

The Chief Justice-1 shall now withdraw for a
f.-w minutes. Mr. Semlert will be here presently,
trltl I frill then proceed with the canoe.

The (Thief Justice immediately returned to the
Frisch. The canoe of the King e. Stoddert hyrint
h•en called, Mr. Bellamy proceeded to read the list
cr the Siwcnd Ju►ors.
The Chief Justice—Mr. Hunt, I think you had
bctter c,ane nearer to me. It will be necessary, in
th• course of the trial, that l should communicate
wigs you. I must be informed by you, what wit-
reran ynn mean to call, and to what point you Kish
t'!om to he examined. . _

Mr. Mint, who had placed liinstelf at the far-
tiler extremity of the Bench appropriated to Soli-
eltrtri. Lord, l shall then be at the
IRA of the Defendant's Counwl.. _ .

The Chief Justice.—The Learned Gentlemen can
rove down lowers
!Ur. Ilont—With all deference to your Lord-
ship and the Leonard Counsel, I hope I may be
ermitted to remain where 1 am. It is important
tsar I should have • full view of the Jury.
'rise Chief Justice—lt is not important. You
ere not going to sddrese the Jury.
Mr. Iluitt—Certainly I am.
Chirf Justice--I will not allow it.
Mr. flont-1 will attempt it—lst the event be
w hat it may.
The Chief Justice—Nou have no right to ad-
Ores, the Jury in a cue of this kind.
Air. Ilunt—l will attempt it nevertheless, be the
consequence what it may.
sir. Scarlett—Let us understand this before we
proceed. If he does attempt to address the Jury,
I bop, lie will be committed.
Tin. Chief Justice—Let us understand distinctly
the course to be taken in this case. I am of opt-
oion, and that opinion has been decided as a roe.
feet one by all the Judges of the Court of King's
/Tench, and has received the sanction of the other
follies to whom I have spoken on the subject, that
the Prosecutor of an indictment has no right to ad-
e•ess the Jury. It is not, in point of law, the suit
sit an individual. If an individual seek to pursue
personal redress for a personal injury, the course be
to take is that of bringing his action for damages.
Ir instead of that redress he thinks fit to put the law
in motion in the name of the King, he does it for the
PAire of public justice, sod it becomes not his suit '
Lit the tilt of his Majesty. and on that suit no per-
son has a right to address the jury except • gentle-
man at the bar. This opinion is not • light one,
because it has ben solemnly pronounced by all the
J ;dges of the Conrt of King's Bench on two late
occnsions in which I preverved an individual,
under similar circumstances, from addressing the
Jury. My opinion wu reviewed by the Judges
the Court of King's Bench. and its soundness
arid propriety was confirmed. In every county
where there are assizes and quarter sessions through-
out the country, a great number of prosecutions for
criminal offences are instituted by private indisi-
etre!, in the name of the Kiug, but it is never
thuught of that the person prosecuting should
piddles' the fury, such a right bus never Leen
contended for. If Counsel has been employed by
Cie complaining party. he conducts the cause; if
;:nt, the Judge presiding examines the ;Intuitions,
i.,,d consults the person who has instituted the suit
aei to the individuals who are to he examined;
Cie point to which that examination ought
to r. rer. In this way justice is administered.
If I art wrong in what 1 have said, you may apply
to the Court of King's Bench hereafter. But I tell
oil now beforehand that this is the ouly course
oill allow to be taken, and if you do riot choose to
jii.tice administered in your case. according to
tie enitioary rules, the record must be withdrawn.
Mr. Iluot—The opinion of the Judge is not in-
Part of what you have stated--
The Chief Justice—l do not pretend to be in-
f,liihte. I only state my opinion, sanctioned as it
Las been by my Brothers ou the Detach. if it be
trretneval, you can apply to the Court.
Mr. flusit—The Learned Gentleman has made
use of an improper expression. But note ithstand-
jog what he has siiil.l will take my owls course.
The Chief Justice—l will not hear soy more.
Ca.t the next cause.
Mr. Runt—l hive to complain that in this case,
tie re has not only been ■ delay but a total dsoial
or, justice. When the cause is called on and the
jnry sworn, I will take that course which I think
;nut likely to attain the object that brought sue
here. The Learned Ocutleat4n has advised you to

commit toe. i have Leen coiilibillted before, thltl
Ido not mind if I Dap -inemitted again. Yam
Lordship just now
.eaid I was a hold man—l am.
and ever will be bold enough to do my du►y; I
hope I'll never be bold enough to do any thing
that is wrong. I now call on you to direct that my
canoe shall proceed.
The Chief Justice—l will suffer no one to treat
me ite this one, while (.residing in a Court of
Justice. 1 tell you now that the cause shall not
come on.
Another cause wee now called by Mr. Bell imy.
Mr. Hunt—May l say one word before Igo.
The Chief Justice—You have already said too
much, a great deal more than becomes any man in
a Court of Justice. If yogi wean to withdraw your
pretensions to the right of addressing the Jury, and
wish to state that your cause shell be tried in the
ordinary way, I will hear you ; hot if that is not
what you are going to say, you had much better
say nothing.
Mr. Hunt—Yen have not tried the experiment.
flow ran you krone how I mean to proceed P—li will
go forth to the world that justice is denied to me.
The Chief Justice-1 will not sit in this place and
allow language of floe kind to he iiddreaard to me.
Mr. H got —You have suffered more improper 1.111.
gunge from another quarter. The Learned Gem-
dentate' wig and gown do not privilege him to use
language contrary to decency and good [winners.
t.lr. Scarlett here made a motion as if to rise,
but on the Chief Justice calling him by name, mod
at the seine time signifying to him by gesture, that
lie ought net to nonce Mr. Hones observation, he
rem•nned in his seat.

A tier a moment's pause, the Learned Gentleman
rose wild said, " I hope it will not he stated in the
Newspapers that I said a man should be committed
who was acting correctly and properly. But I
af-
firm that every person should he committed who in-
sults a Court of Justice, or behaves disrespectfully
to your Lordship, or to any other individual pre-
siding there.
The Chief Justice—l am always most willing
and happy to (In justice to every peroon who ap-
pears its this Court—and, Mr. Hunt. if you will
bring on your cause, subject to the ordinary rules,
you shall see that nothing you have said shall fore-
went me from doing that impartial duty which my
situation imposes upon me.
Mr. Ilunt—l will agree to nothing but what 1
think is jolt. It will go forth to the world that fits-
tier has been denied to me. Indeed I thought there
vras no justice fir me.
The Chief Justice— If any person publishes a false
statement of what I said he will do to at his peril.
Mr. Hunt—l will publish nothing—hut I say
again that I ha►e suffered not only a delay, but
denial of justice. I say it in the teeth of Mr.
Scarlett's threat, which I value as little at his own
personal anger.
The Chief Justice intimated a hope that Mr. Scar.
lett would not take notice of ►uch an oiltaervuotion.

Mr. Scarlett—O! my Lard, don't imagine that
my temper can be ruffled by ►uch a man ws that.
Mr. limit and Mr. Carlile then packed up their
books and rapers and withdrew from the Cuurt.
The next cause was then called on.
