I,f /NOON,
MONDAY, JUNE 17.

We had not, until this day, an opportunity to
make any observations upon the mode of proceed-
ing, finally adopted by the House of Commons, in
the case of Viscount MeLvtxt.t. Our readers are
a are, that Mr. Willa- nesais's motion for an im-
peachment was negatived by a majority of seventy-
seven, and that the amendment for a criminal prose-
cution, moved by Mr. BOND, was carried by a ma-
jority of nine. In consequence of this determina-
tion, the ATIORKEY GENVIAL will immediately
file an information against Viscount NIELvt t.r.e, for
a misdemeanor, in violating the Ad of the 25th
of His present NIasILSTY, by drawing, as Treasurer
of the Navy, from the Bank of England, money
deposited there for naval service, and before such
money was absolutely necessary for naval uses ;
with making, in conjundion with ALIIXANDER
Totorrea, Esq. his Paymaster, private profit and
emolument of such money, by using the same in
the discount of bills, and pecuniary speculations,
and with receiving various sums of the said tno.
ney voted by Parliament for naval services only,
and embezzling the same, or otherwise appropri-
ating it to his own private use and emolument, and
with refusing to account for the same, in defiance
and contempt of said Aft. In discussing this sub-
jed, we hope k is unnecessary to premise that we
shall carefully abstain from the slightest allusion to
the merits of the case, and confine our observations
exclusively to the mode of procedure. The infor-
mation by the Attorney General is in the nature
of a Bill of Indidment, with this difference only, that
it does not require the previous findiug by a grand
jury, to put the party upon his defence, and
bring the charge to trial before a petty jury of
the country. It has beet &gelled to as a severe
and summary proceeding, though certainly as ati-
agent as the common law itself, and consequently
a constitutional, and sometimes necessary process.
In the case of Viscount hLtvitte, however, even
these objetions disappear. The Tenth Report of
the Commissioners of Naval Inquiry, the Debate
upon it in the House of Commons, the vote of the
Bch of April, the Report of the Seleft Committee
upon the Tenth Report, and the adjourned Debate
of the 12th and 13th inst. and vote thereon, give to
the proceeding at least as much solemnity and deli-
beration, as the finding by a Grand Jury. We
might say that all this preliminary matter gives to
the mode of prosecution by information, adopted
in the case of Viscount Matvitca, more solemnity
and promaion against a malicious, wanton, or un-
founded charge, than the formality of a Grand
Jury, in the same degree as the House of
Commons, the grand inquest of the Nation,
is superior in weight and consideration to the
Grand Jury of any particular County. But
we need only contend for an equality in both cases,
to enable us to conclude that Viscount M etvt t. a
has not only a greater advantage thati these indi.
viduals, whom the Attorney General prosecutes by
information from his own knowledge and motives,
bat that his Lordship has all the benefit of grave
thought and circumspection, enjoyed by those whose
case is submitted to the preliminary process of a
Grand Jury. This observation is made merely to
shew the fairness of the proceeding by information
against Viscount Ntecvli.te, as an abstract propo-
sition. The next view in which it may deserve
consideration is, in relation to the process by im-
peachment. The method of Parliamentary im-
peachment before the Lords, by the Commons of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
is undoubtedly the more solemn and dignified pee-
(*.lure of the two, as being a presentment to the most
high and supreme Court of criminal jurisdiction,
by the most solemn and grand inquest of the nation.
It may, therefore, be more worthy of the rank and
consideration of the party, and is better calculated
to make a great impression upon the public mind,
and mark more strongly the punishment and the
o2ence. It would drag the party more into public
view, and would be, is various respects, more
painful to his feelings, for while he may ap-
pear by Attorney upon his trial, upon information
by a Jury of the County, before the Lord Chief
Justice of the Court of King's Bench, he would
have to appear in person at the Bar upon an Im-
peachment before the High Court of Parliament.—
Were Viocout:t Islxtvrs. Eto be thu; exhibited, like
a criminal at the Old Bailey, from day to day, pee-
haps for months, and obliged to listen to all the
charges and insinuations of his accusers through all
that time, surely, if even an acquittal were to fol-
low, it would not be said that he had escaped with-
out a severe punishment !—The advocates for a
criminal information by the Attorney General con-

tend that it is preferahle to the ?wide of impeach-
ment, as more ex ped ijous, less expensive, and 'litany
efficacious. The trial of Mr. HASI Inas, the latest
process of the kind, which lasted not merely for
days and months, bat for years, has left behind it a
strong impression of the tedium of such a process.
Even that of Lord MACCLESk 'LLD, which has been
cited on the other side as a case of expedition, lasted

^5 days.—Looking then to the nature of the charge,
against Viscount Mst.vi invAving a misap-
plication of the public money, for the pur-
pose of private emolument. for fourteen years,
by himself or by Mr. TROTTER, with his connivance,
at the voluminous extent of the several Reports upon
the subjc.l, and the number of witnesses, whose
names appear in these Reports, whose evidence
would probably be all reproduced upon the trial ;
there is every reason to presume, that though the
trial might be of shorter duration than that of Mr.
HASTINGS, it must greatly exceed that of Lord
MACCLESTICLD. At a period then of such vital
importance to the country, and at the most ethical
moment of the most important war in which the
country was ever engaged, surely it cannot be a
desirable thing to draw the attention of Parliament
from the hostility of France to the miscondua of an
individual, and divert the public spirit from BONA..
r AIME to Viscount ?Acts,' E. Indeed, now that
the business of the Legislature is so much increased
by the Union with Ireland, and the extension of our
wealth, our commerce, and population, for the
dispatch of which, seven months in the year are
scarcely sufficient, Parliament ought not to be sub-
jected to the additional and extraordinary trouble
and fatigue of a trial by Impeachment, when the
end can be obtained in the ordinary way in an infe-
rior Court.

If the process by Impeachment be more tedious
than by Information, it follows of necessity that it
must be more expensive. Impeachment induces
not only an expence to the Defendant and his imme-
diate accusers, but to the individual Lords and
Commoners attending, and the country at large.
The expence of Mr. H AST I sos's trial was excessive
to an abuse. The Impeachment of Viscount Met-
vi tte, though probably not so enormous, would no
doubt be very heavy ; so that with the delay and the
expence, even upon an acquittal, he would have
virtually suffered both fine and imprisonment.
The third and last part which we shall, at pre-
sent, discuss, is the efficacy of the process by infor-
mation. It has been urged in favour of impeach-
ment, that a subject intrusted with the administra-
tion of public affairs, may be guilty of misconduel
but so powerful in rank, influence, and conneaions,
that the ordinary magistrate dares not or cannot
punish him. Now when corruption is unknown in
the administstition.of our laws, and Judges are be-
come independent of the Crown, this objeetion has
ceased to exist. On the contrary, instead of fearing
that Viscount bitty r Lt. r. may escape punishment, by
his personal influence in the Court of King's Bench,
the public have more reason to apprehend, that
the deep impression made upon the public mind,
by the recent discussions in the House of Com-
mons, and the authority of so powerful an ac-
cuser, may produce a prejudice against Viscount
Met-vitt!, in the breast of the most honest and
upright jury. Upon the trial of Mr. Ilasrisns, it
was contended that the Lords were not bound to
observe the same rules of evidence in an impeach-
ment as are admitted en criminal trials in the
interior Courts. Those who entertain that idea,
and are anxious for the punishment of Viscount
Met,' ttr, would, therefore, prefer the proceed-
ing by impeachment, conceiving that his accusers
would be less fettered by form, and have a wider
field of evidence to range in. Admitting the
case to be so, although we believe the point is not
yet finally settled, we do not see any thing to dread
in the present case, from the technical rules ob-
served in the inferior Courts of justice. The evi-
dence applying to the heaviest charges against Vis.
count Matvisa.r, is not liable to any technical ob-
jettions, and cannot be withheld from a Jury. Nei-
ther is there any danger, in the case of convitlion,
that he will escape punishment. The Court of
King's Bench has the power of inflifting in this case,
fine, imprisonment, and personal degradation. It
cm, therefore, by its sentence, not only punish the
party in his person, but also compel pecuniary repa-
ration for the country, by making any sum, of which
it shall appear the public were unjustly deprived,
and profits produced by such sum, the measure of
the fine.

a wealthy cow-keeper, beyond Oxford-

strait between them was read in evidence,
:h it appeared that Defendant was bound
rear to take all, V milk he wanted for his
ten; from the Plaintiff, at two shillings a gal-
td, on the other hand, the Plaintiff was bound
tly him with a sufficient quantity. The
then proved, that the cows, which had been
rt for the Defendant's use, were, for a con-
de time, totally useless to him, as he could
.pose of their milk, and was obliged to give
greater part of it to his pigs. His witnesses also
--d, that the Defendant had, without any rea-
,l off dealing with him in August last, and
-chased cows of his own. Several witnesses
tiled on the part of the Defendant, from whose
my it appeared, that the Defendant never
get a sufficient quantity of milk from the

lined, the Plaintiff abused him in the most
taus manner, called him a Welsh rascal, and
I him, if he wanted more milk, to send to
for half a dozen she-goats, None of the wit-
, on the widest cross-examination, could be

n Saturday an uncommon case was heard bel.re
lderman BoTnEtt., the sitting Alderman. The
wards a ryspeCtable society were sruminoned by
iam Shoval, for the recovery of 121. which he
ailed as due trout the society to him at diffi:rent
-s when sick in No.vgate. The stewards, with
secretary, and several mem ...is ..f the cliib,
iisted the claim, nn two gt.ninds : the first was,
at Mr Shovai having been convitied. with others,
the Old of trad and conTiracy, and stil-
led to imprisonment for that offence, his claim
fcrfeited. The second ground they rested it
in, was not giving the secretary tile re;lll,tr am-
-I.s according to their esta'llishert 'advs.—Mr. Ai-
rman LEe, who assisted, thought the man ha .:'g
7feited his right to the proteetion of the laws, Lid
forfeited his claim to this money ; but it was
:ornmended to make a compaation, which tile
in refused to accede to.

MAR I.B0110,:Gri•ST It ELT.
Elrtrter ifearkeintax, a fortune teller, was COM.
itted, on
.Saturday, from Marlborough Police 01-
m, dame f with stealing various articles from Sa-
th Villebais, a Serf ar.t in Baker-street. The pro-
_omit had been in the habit of consulting this ha-
rts:of , and havieg hail a pleasing dram on Tues-
day night, hastened the neat mooting to learn all
le good it portended. The prophetess prediCted
reat events—a fine husband, a fine coach, &c ; but
')served, ;hit it would take 4tl hours to expound the
ream, and that the labour of doing so would he re-
ceti, if the table we. e spread with p'ate, &c. which
immediately did, from her master's sideboard :
the prisoner then cast her horoscope, traced the
stars, announced an immediate marriage, and put.
loined half of the plate. Tile gitl returned home
',sensible from joy, but soon discovering her loss,
tcquainted the family with it, and had the sharper
arehendcd.

SUICIDN.

An Inquest was held on Saturday evening, at
eight o'clock, at the Public-house in Conduit-street.
called the Conduit Arms, on the body of Erasmus
Corbet, Esq. late a Captain in the Oxford Blues,
who had shut himself that morning in the house of
Mr. Fox, the mercer, where be had lodged for seve-
ral years. The first witness was Mr. I. ox, who said
the deceased had gone out at half past ten th it
morning and returned home to breakfast. He had
appeared for several months in a dejeaed state, and
a tew weeks since, he said to the witness, 4, I will
ply you my rent, but have met with considerable
losses."
Mr. Corbet's servant stated, that when his master
returned that morning, he wrote a letter to Lord
Ducie, which he ordered him to put in the post-
office ; that, as he was going down starts tor that
purpose, he heard the report of a pistol, and
returned into the room, where he found his master
lying on the ground, his skull shattered to pieces,
the room covered wits blood and brains, and a
horse pistol lying at his side, which he must hate
purchased that morning, as great case was taken
that no fire arms or destruaive weapons should be
lett in his way, as he was in rather a depressed state
of mind. By the explosion, and the injury done to
the room, there mast have been several balls in the
pistol I the ceiling was broken ; a ball had passed
through . a piture and lodged in the wall, another
went through a pane of glass into the street ; two
pieces of the skull, two inches and a half square,
were blown through another pane of glass to the
opposite side of the street. Surgeon Heaviside,
wit ) attended, thought that from the appear
