COURT OF KING'S BENCH, SATURDAY, N0v.14.

CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
SENDING A CM•LLIPIGIL
Mr. SCARLIT, raid he had to apply to the Court
fat • criminal information against Wm. Peel, Esq.
and George Dawson, Esq. for a misdemeanor.
He made his implication at the desire of a gentle-
man named Player. to whom a writtenchallenge had
been sent by Mr. Peel, of which Mr. amino was
the hearer. It wonld appear from the affidavit, that
Mr. Peel sod his farther, Sir Robert Peel, were nen-
&dates For Tanswerth at the luteelectiou. Lord A.
Townsend was also a caudidate, and Mr. Floyer
:gave his islets's! and support to his Lordship. Li
the course of die canvass Mr. Floyer published an
address, eonteiniag allusions to some parts of Sir
Robert Peel's condoet. and in the concluding part
.of it he said. " Metope these facts may appear
strong, bat he would meet Sir Robert f.ce to face
on the Misting% and gnawer any question. he might
'think ilroper to put." He now solemnly declared
lie intended no personal defiance in this ; bat the
day previous to the election. Mr. Peel desired to
lion -bin in • field near the town ; here some end-
atistsmion pawed, which it was not necessary to detail.
Mr. Peel mid he should notice what hail peered after
'tile election Sias over. The day after the election,
Nr. Peel, in his address to the electors. espremed his
hope that new the contest was of an end, all anima-
'oily would 'cease, declaring he had none tower&
any one. Vet soon afterwards Mr. Floyer received a
letter from him, calling for letisfection for the iu-
sults offered fie his father, Sir Robert. In reply to
this letter, Mr. Floyer wrote, saying. that till Sir
Hobert had cleared op certain charges mode
legalism him of &Wartime's, he should not answer
the call ; and then there was no greater disparity
of years between Sir Robert and himself than there
was between himself and Mr. Peel. Shortly after,
Mr. Fluyer discovered that this correspoudence had
been published by Mr. Peel's friends, and he found
it necessary to publish an at count of the whole trans.
Airtime. which be did in ere address to the inhabi-
tants of Temworth ; in which publication he said he
would being the whole matter before the Curt of
King's Bench on the 6th of November. Shortly
after Mr. Fluyer also published an account of what
passed between himself and Mr. Peel in the field,
at their meeting, previous to the election; and it
did appear, from Mr. Floyer's own account, that lie
said to Mr. Peel. " Shew nie a reason, inid, if you
intend to call me oat, you will find me as ready as
you care desire." Alter the election was over Mr.
Vluyer went with his family to reside et IVorthing ;
Shod on the 7th of the present mouth he received •
Letter from Mr. Peel. which was brought to him
by Mr. Dawson. a part of the contents of which
were as follow :-

this, and wiU make all the Necessary arraugemeots with
To this letter Mr. Floyer returned no other an-
swer, than that he should lay it before the Court
King's Bench. Mr. Peel and Mr. Dawson, dur-
ing the remainder of that day, were parading
the streets of Worthing. the former with a new
horsewhip iu his hand. On the fullowi..g day,
which was Sunday. Mr. Floyer was going to
church with hie family, turtle and female, when
Mr. Peel came suddenly upon him from behind a
wall. Mr. Peel said something. but appeared in
great agitation, end ilr. Floyer only heard part of
what lie uttered, from which lie understood Mr.
Peel wished him to consider that he had been
horsewhipped. Mr. Floyer only smiled, and
Mr. Peel went away. In the evening of that
day Mr. Dooms put into the hands of Mr.
Floyer's servant a printed bill, containing a pre-
tended statement of what had passed between
him end Mr. Peel, addressing Mr. Floyer as a
coward sod a liar, whom be had twice challenged
for laying uttered false assertions and unwrovoked
falsehoods, foe which he now published him to
the world as a coward and • liar. He did not
do this till he had endeavoured to meet him,
and give him personal chastisement; but hi had
sought for an opportunity of doing so in vain,
having never met him but once, at which time
he was protected, being surrounded by the females
of his family. This hand-bill had been posted at
the library and all the most public places in Wor-
thing. The Court, on this statement, granted a
rule to &hew cause.

went with Mn'. Hayees's brother, the same morning, to re-
wire the note paid to Smith, hues • respectable trashiness.
la a short time Smith made his appearance, and ebbed Mrs.

nied James Haynes to the watch-house, and asked to see '
the constables who had taken the persons into cis.tudy; they
were told the constables were gone. Mr. Thorougligood
neat went with Mr. Hayes to endeavour to find them, for ,
the purpose of obtaining the Prisoners' discharge. After '
some liner they Nona the constables at the Key public.

The constables asked Mr. Thurougligoott if there was Sky

his wife and hrotber,and remoustisted with them, as ilidgdsu
Mr. Thoroughgood, upon the cruelty and injustice of keep-
ing the Prisoners from their families all night in prison opts
a charge of which they must be satisfied they were innocent.
The constables sold that the Prisoners must remain in prison
till Next morning, until the note had Steen exaniitied at lb.
Bank. Mr. Hanes, boding that it was quote impossible to
obtain their liberty that night, went home to his family
to afford them that consolation they stood so much in
need of.
Oa the following morning Mrs. Herne and the Iwo male
Penmen were taken from the watch-boner. and again drag.
god along the streets to Marlborough-street Police Office, and
there they were kept three hours. At !Imola the rriaoners
were taken into a little room before some person whom
they conceived tube a bank inspector, or solicitor, from the
conversation which passed betweendsim and the constables,
anti bons which it also appeared that the constables had Bien
at tie Bank, the mote bad been examined by inspectors,
and foaled it to be a geed use. The person (whetliar Magis-
trate or Bank officer) never asked the Pcisuners a single
question. Ore of the coindables then gave Joseph Haynes
• new Bank note, and told him and his fellow-prisuiteis that
" it was all over; there was a good note for the one taken
from him, anal they might all go about their business."
Thus were these poor inoffensive and respectable pennon
dragged from their families by constables, upon • charge
nf which they were iwootant, and after tighter° hours eon.
1 boonsent, they were dierhaeged privately ; yet se the chime
was made paldie, the discharge ought to have been made
as public as possible, that they might have their characters
cleared from undeserved stigma.
lit proof uf the above statement, we give the following :
